Chapter 357 The Fake Daughter Whose Body Was Taken Over by the Heroine 18
In the past, the Longyuan Kingdom held a morning court every other day, but when there was a major event, it would be held once a day.
Emperor Cucumber was a pleasure-loving man. After he ascended the throne, he felt that he had established his footing and thought that holding morning court every two days was too frequent, so he changed it to once every five days.
Having just attended the morning court yesterday, the Cucumber Emperor didn't have to attend the morning court today, so he slept a little longer.
As soon as he stood up, he heard Zhang Defu announce that his fourth and fifth sons wanted to see him.
What are they doing at this time?
Immediately, the emperor had a bad feeling in his heart.
Yesterday, the second and third princes came to complain, and he rewarded them with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry from his private treasury before sending them away.
These two sons came so early today, it doesn’t look like anything good is going to happen!
Originally, he wanted to let Zhang Defu send him away, but at this time, Xiao Su, the chief minister of Dali Temple, and Gu Jiu of Jingzhao Prefecture also arrived.
The emperor's bad premonition became stronger and stronger!
The Chief Justice of Dali Temple and the Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture came together. It seems that this is not a good thing!
He really didn't want to see them, but he had no choice but to ask Zhang Defu to call the two people in.
Sure enough, his guess was confirmed as soon as the four of them entered the imperial study.
The houses of these two unlucky sons were also robbed!
The fourth prince and the fifth prince were both young men of sixteen or seventeen years old. They cried and sniffed at the same time.
He looked even worse than the stupid son of the landlord at the village entrance.
The fourth prince and the fifth prince had slept on the cold floor for most of the night. Now they had splitting headaches, runny noses, and felt uncomfortable all over.
Their mother was so distressed that she advised them not to bother the emperor and go back to rest early!
But if they don't come to cry and complain in time, how can they make their presence felt in front of their father?
How can I get more money from my father to supplement my household expenses?
Could it be that a fool like Wen Shen, who was so poor that he had to sell the guards in his mansion to make a living, still pretended to be a filial son who was sensible and did not cause trouble to his father?
Who are you pretending for? Don’t you know who you are?
The Fifth Prince said, "Father, please help me. This thief is so bold!"
"Not only did they take everything out of my storeroom, they even took the jade pendant I was carrying with me!"
The jade pendant he carries with him is a symbol of his status!
Only the prince had it, and it just disappeared. I don’t know if my father can give him a new one?
The Fourth Prince: "Yes, Father, you must have this thief caught!"
"This thief dared to come to our prince's house to steal things. He doesn't take you, the emperor, seriously!"
The emperor's already gloomy expression became even uglier after hearing the two brothers sing the same tune. Especially after listening to the fourth prince's brainless and straightforward speech, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!
He angrily slammed the dragon table and cursed, "Damn it."
hiss!
The emperor used too much force and slammed his hand on the dragon table, causing him to gasp in pain and even grimace for a moment.
Thinking that he was still in front of the ministers, he immediately put on a serious expression and pretended to be calm, as if nothing had happened, looking majestically at the Dali Temple Minister and Jingzhao Prefecture Yi who were kneeling on the ground.
"Did you find any clues?"
He had just ordered a thorough investigation yesterday, but the Yulin Army and Jingzhao Yi people searched for a whole day and found no trace of the thieves.
At night, this group of thieves emptied the mansions of the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince. Isn't this just a slap in his face, showing disrespect for the emperor?
At this moment, he didn't know that his private vault had also been emptied, otherwise he wouldn't have felt so embarrassed!
Gu Jiu: "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao and I have already immediately gone to the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Fifth Prince's Mansion to check..."
After listening for a long time, the emperor came to two conclusions, one good news and one bad news.
The bad news is: no clues were found!
The good news is that the thieves' modus operandi is not only exactly the same as that of the eldest prince's mansion, but is also exactly the same as that of the second and third prince's mansions. Therefore, we can conclude that it was done by the same group of people!
What is the conclusion?
You don't take him seriously and want to fool him, right?
The emperor was so angry that he threw the inkstone on the dragon table away.
Jingzhao Yi and the Dali Temple Minister knelt on the ground and did not dare to stand up without the emperor's order.
The inkstone flew over and hit the shoulder of Gu Jiu who was kneeling in front.
The emperor's force was so great that Gu Jiu staggered.
Gu Jiu was worthy of being the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. Even though he was in so much pain that he wanted to curse, he didn't even frown and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Gu Jiu cursed the thief who stole the things in his heart!
Who is this person who has a deep hatred for the royal family?
You've been stealing in the prince's palace for two consecutive days. You said you were short of money, so you just stole some silver. Isn't it okay for antiques and paintings?
They were like bandits entering a village, eager to pry open people's floors.
Your face-slapping behavior makes it difficult for us to do what we do, you know?
The emperor's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "Calm down? You bunch of useless people, what use do I have to you? If you allow this thief to do his evil deeds again and again, if this gets out, where will the face of my Longyuan Kingdom be?"
"Cha, you must find the thief for me within three days, otherwise you don't have to come!"
This thief actually dared to slap him in the face again and again. He must find all these people and execute them all.
After Gu Jiu and Xiao Su left, the emperor ordered Zhang Defu to take people to his private warehouse to get some food for his two sons who were still sniffling!
However, after waiting for a long time, Zhang Defu still didn't come back, so he planned to send a young eunuch with him to see what was going on.
Zhang Defu ran back in shock: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
The emperor's face turned dark. What's wrong with this old guy today? Is he cursing him?
"Why are you in such a hurry? How can this be so disgraceful?"
