Chapter 174 One word: Run!
Chen Jianping was suddenly stunned.
Impossible! He had done a clean job in Yin's death, there was no way anyone else would know about it!
Xiao Tangbao tilted his head and looked carefully at Chen Jianping's daughter-in-law, who was repeatedly strangling Chen Jianping's neck with the rope around her neck.
Sometimes she leaned her back against Chen Jianping's, squatting with a ferocious look on her face, and sometimes she floated into the air, hanging there with a cold expression... Over and over again, without feeling tired.
ha!
The little fellow's eyes lit up, and he immediately became energetic: "It's Chen Jianrensha..."
"Hmm~" Little Tangbao's mouth was suddenly covered by Aunt Yao, and he looked at her with a frown and confusion.
Aunt Yao said to Tang Bao in her heart, if we put this guy in jail now, who will cook the books for you?
But she lowered her voice and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Qing is behind the screen. Shouldn't the little princess go and pay her respects to him?"
Little Tangbao's eyes suddenly widened, and he kicked his legs to get down to the ground, extremely anxious.
As soon as Aunt Yao carefully put her down, the little girl ran towards the door.
Zhilan and Zhimei at the door quickly helped her open the door, and then followed her out.
"Oh my! I have something big to do today! You two are going to learn paper-cutting and cloth-cutting. The loser will take my homework to school, and the winner will go to the palace with me..." No way!
“…”
The three children got into the carriage in a hurry. Their short legs had never moved so fast before.
Chen Jianping looked at Xiao Tangbao's back, gritting his teeth in hatred, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
He clenched his fists so tightly that he didn't even notice that the nail on his little finger, which he had grown long for picking his nose, was digging into his flesh.
In order to avoid being accused of disrespect by someone with ulterior motives, Chen Jianping forced a smile uglier than crying and sat back stiffly.
Just when his butt was about to hit the chair, a Duan inkstone was thrown straight at him from behind!
In a flash, the square and heavy inkstone slammed against the wooden chair, knocking the chair aside with an inch of force.
Chen Jianping, who was about to sit down, fell to the ground with a thud, and the scars on his back hurt so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Chen Jianping: “…”
Damn it, if anyone dares to play a prank on him, he will kill them...
Chen Jianping was about to lose his temper when he saw the cloud boots suddenly stop in front of him. He quickly knelt straight down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
“-`(◣_◢)`…” Looking at the back of his precious daughter running away frantically, Yun Che felt pain in the back of his teeth.
He lowered his eyes, glaring at Chen Jianping as if he were looking at a rotting corpse. "Why didn't you kneel or greet Princess Zhaoning when you met her just now? Is it because she didn't produce the gold medal bestowed by the late emperor that she's unworthy of your audience?"
Prince Qing's voice was so cold that it could quench ice. Everyone just thought that he was very angry with Xiao Tangbao.
However, he didn't know that he heard last night that Xiao Tangbao witnessed Chen Jianping having an affair with his daughter-in-law. He was so angry that he immediately gave up on sticking talismans on Emperor Liang and went straight to Chen Jianping's mansion.
But I saw...
Humph! God will punish the wicked, and if God doesn't punish them, it won't be too late for them to do so.
Besides, he now understands more or less that if he refrains from killing, he will be accumulating merit for the little guy!
Chen Jianping felt a chill run down his spine, his hair standing on end. He immediately knelt and said, "I dare not! I know I was wrong! I promise I will never make such a mistake again!"
Rumor has it that Prince Qing's condition is getting worse and he won't live long... Who would be crazy enough to go against a powerful and already insane man who is dying?!
“Stand up…” Prince Qing finished speaking.
Just as Chen Jianping was about to stand up, he heard the man opposite him say coldly, "Since you know you're wrong, you'll kneel down and handle your official duties today." He dared to let Tang Bao witness such a wicked thing, and he could still kneel here, because he was still useful...
"..." Chen Jianping dared not speak out loudly: "Yes! I thank you, Your Highness!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
The lids of the wooden boxes were opened one after another, and Chuntai considerately dragged a chair in front of Chen Jianping and let him use it as a table.
Then he placed the revised list from last night on the chair seat. When he moved back, he accidentally stepped on his hand and then accidentally crushed it.
"Ugh..." Chen Jianping endured the pain and didn't curse.
Everyone in the court, civil and military, knows that Prince Qing was born but not raised by his mother. He grew up in the Internal Security Department and there are no rules in the palace!
These ignorant slaves...
He endured it! When he managed to accomplish great merit one day and obtain the emperor's pardon, he would definitely confess to the emperor about the two letters he was forced to write...
Wait until he gets away safely, then settle accounts with them one by one!
…
Chen Jianping's two confidants were stunned when they saw the numbers on the list.
"What kind of gold bracelet inlaid with gemstones is worth two thousand taels of silver? Two hundred taels of silver is the most you can get, right?"
It clearly says on it that it is a children's bracelet. The ring size is as small as a child's, and it costs two thousand taels of silver?
Aren't you afraid of breaking your arm?
Jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, land deeds...these things are only worth a certain amount of silver. Even if you estimate them to be higher, you can't increase the price by five or ten times, right?
The Emperor is not a fool! ?
Qing Tai snorted coldly and said confidently: "The gems on it are valuable!"
Chen Jianping: (◣д◢)
Gems are valuable? Didn't he see the gold jewelry worn by princes and princesses?
Chen Jianping's side was speechless.
Someone turned directly to the last page of the list and looked at the total number on it. He suddenly stumbled and pointed to Chen Jianping with trembling hands.
Chen Jianping's pupils trembled and he looked at Chuntai in disbelief.
He guessed they would take the opportunity to blackmail him, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous! ?
He closed his eyes tightly, thinking to himself, who made me have the leverage in someone else's hands...
Fortunately, he was prepared. "Go to my carriage and bring those three boxes here."
The money is too much. Once the truth is revealed, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor and will make us a follower of Prince Qing... There must be no mistakes in this matter!
They asked for such a huge sum of money, and since he couldn't fake it, he had to fill it in quietly.
Oh!
I have worked in the Ministry of Revenue for more than ten years, and I have always been embezzling money from others. I never thought that there would be a day when I would have to pay back what I owed!
Bloodshot appeared in Chen Jianping's eyes. He didn't dare to be angry, nor could he force a smile.
Prince Qing pursed his lips, and angrily went up to kick Chen Jianping, saying that his face stunk!
Chen Jianping: “…”
-`(╬益)`... Randomly assaulting an official appointed by the imperial court, is there still any law?!
Chen Jianping knelt down again, gritted his teeth and looked at his men, signaling them to work faster.
There is a ready-made list, and it is their business to do the accounting.
Half an hour later, Nanny Yao looked at the note and documents stamped by the Ministry of Revenue, as well as the secret memorial to be presented to the emperor, and nodded with satisfaction, but she could not smile.
