Chapter 432: Former Dynasty Objects

He is a prince, but he is controlled by court officials to this extent. It is because he has received as many favors as he had in the past, and he has as many complaints as he has now, and he will naturally have as much disgust as he will in the future.

An eternal truth.

"Don't be angry, Fourth Brother. When you have power, everyone will bow down to you. Then you won't have any worries."

The Seventh Prince's words touched the Fourth Prince's heart. Seeing this, he was too lazy to continue the topic. After talking with the Seventh Prince for a while, he sent him away.

Then I stood outside the window and took a look. It was still calm, so I didn't pay any more attention to it.

At night, the moon rises above the treetops.

Everyone is sleeping soundly.

A rapid knock on the door woke up the Fourth Prince. Dong Ye had been sleeping soundly, so after being woken up, the Fourth Prince became very angry.

He opened the door with a gloomy face and then said.

"You'd better tell me something important, or I'll kill you!"

The person who came to report was also covered in cold sweats, and looked even more miserable in the winter night, but he still had to say it.

"Your Highness, I have found some suspicious items in the ship that the Seventh Branch of the Gu Family sailed north on. Your Highness, please go and take a look."

"Something wrong, what is wrong?"

For the Fourth Prince, inappropriate things had no appeal at all. Instead, the words "Seventh Branch of the Gu Family" sounded like a lamb delivered to his doorstep.

Therefore, even if the thing today was nothing, he would still make a fuss about it and let Gu Shaoyu and everyone in the Eastern Palace know his ability.

"It looks to me like it's from the previous dynasty."

The things from the previous dynasty, if this crime is proven, then the Seventh Branch of the Gu Family will be in trouble for all nine generations of the clan. When the Fourth Prince thought that Gu Shaoyu would be implicated, he became excited.

So he got up, dressed himself, and followed the man.

"Walk!"

The wind is stronger at night, and the lights on the dock are brightly lit.

Shipping and river transportation are different from land transportation, which can stop for rest at any time. So some ships dock during the day, and naturally some dock at night, so the dock is never closed.

Including in the house not far away, there were many coolies squatting and waiting to carry the bags. At this moment, they were also stretching their heads over here to watch the fun.

The biting cold wind blew on Gu Yanli's body. His kneecaps were painful and stiff as he was forced to kneel. He wanted to turn over and argue, but he was pinned to the ground and could not move.

Everything went smoothly along the way, and he thought that after reaching the dock, he could land and have a good rest, but who knew that he would encounter an inspection.

Inspections have always been a thing, so he didn't take it seriously. He asked someone around him to send a heavy purse over, and thought he was ready to leave.

As a result, the other party was smiling and greeting him one moment, but the next moment he was like a ghost who came to fork people and took him down without any reason.

If he were in Jinling City, he would have yelled and cursed a lot, but this was Sui'an City, so he could only swallow his anger and figure out what was going on before trying to find a solution.

"Gentlemen, please be gentle, is there some misunderstanding? I am General Gu Shaoyu's cousin, and I used to be an imperial merchant. And the things on this ship are just some cloth, it's nothing."

He first revealed his identity, and then explained what the thing was. It was obvious that he wanted to use Gu Shaoyu's name to scare these little ghosts. However, just as he finished his words, a man came out from the dark night and said sarcastically.

"General Gu's cousin? Oh, so he is from the Jinling Gu family."

Gu Yanli had previously done some business in Sui'an City relying on his reputation as an imperial merchant, so even if he did not recognize the Fourth Prince's face, he could tell that he was a royal relative just by looking at his clothes.

So, he swallowed his saliva, not caring about the pain in his knees, and spoke immediately.

"Yes, yes, I said there might be a misunderstanding. Does this noble man know my nephew?"

"Humph, the reputation of the Gu family that all the members died in battle is probably known to even the children on the street, let alone this prince. You are used to making connections, calling me nephew all the time. Do you think that if General Gu were standing here, would he recognize you as his relative?"

The Fourth Prince's words left Gu Yanli speechless.

If Gu Shaoyu were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't really pay any attention to these cousins.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the Fourth Prince glanced over and the subordinate immediately went to get the thing.

"What did you find? Let this prince take a look!"

There was a lot of excitement in the Fourth Prince's tone, and anyone could see how happy he was at the moment. The subordinate quickly took the things and walked up to him, then said.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Your Highness, this is it."

What the man unfolded was a box of cloth, which contained all the things that Gu Yanli wanted to send on his trip north. The subordinate pulled out a piece of cloth and handed it to the Fourth Prince.

When the Fourth Prince saw this, his expression suddenly changed.

"The moonlit embroidery with a dragon pattern, isn't this the favorite of the previous Emperor Ren Zhao? It was burned clean when I was a child, so why is it here?!"

His words made Gu Yanli turn pale instantly.

Emperor Renzhao's stuff? How could it be mixed in with the cloth he was escorting? Not to mention the swastika and dragon embroidery, even the moonlight color was once Emperor Renzhao's favorite color. Now no dyeing factory in the market dares to make this thing.

How could he bring such a thing when he knew he was going north! It was obvious that he was being framed! So he shouted loudly.

"It's unfair, it's unfair! I am truly innocent. This is obviously a case of being framed by thieves. Your Highness, please investigate!"

The Fourth Prince had caught a huge handle at this moment, how could he let it go, so he immediately gave the order.

"Quick, take this man to the prison and keep him under close watch. Then, take all the things on the boat down and check them one by one to see if there are any other things?"

"yes."

Gu Yanli was dragged away like a sack. As he left, he shouted loudly that he was being wronged. However, not long after he was gone, some patterns that were only used in the previous dynasty were found in the fabrics. They were extremely complicated and gorgeous.

The Daxing Dynasty was short-lived, and Emperor Kaizong issued a clear order prohibiting the production of such complicated items at the expense of time and money, so the patterns of Daxing's clothing were not complicated, and the slightly fancy one was probably the lotus.

But the exquisiteness of the things in front of us is enough to make people dazzled just by looking at them.

It's just a trick, not complicated to explain, but once it is linked to the previous dynasty, it becomes evidence of a heinous crime.

I only had time to update 2 chapters this morning. If I finish my lunch work, I will come back to finish this chapter immediately. If I don’t have time, I will make it up to you later. Sorry!!!
