Didn’t Jiading Bo set up a stall here just now and he was selling very vigorously? At the beginning, the pots and pans had not been sold and the money had not been raised yet, so why did he close the stalls? In this way, how could he raise money?

Wuqing Hou Li Guorui felt something was wrong, so he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Kui's sleeve and said, "Brother Zhou, what's going on?"

Zhou Kui shook Li Guorui's hand pulled him away, then pointed at Li Guorui's nose and scolded loudly: "It's all your fault, you have harmed me so badly!"

Li Guorui opened his mouth slightly when he heard it, and looked at him a little ignorantly.

For a moment, Li Guorui was still a little unacceptable. Was Zhou Kui's change too sudden? Could it be related to the queen? But the queen is his daughter. Do you still dare to disobey and be unfilial? Before leaving, Zhou Kui said it well and was very confident in dealing with his daughter!

Just as he was thinking, Zhou Kui turned around, faced the crowd of onlookers, and shouted: "Everyone, please listen to me!"

At this time, the hawking sounds, due to the accident, had all stopped. Everyone was surprised, watching the person involved have something to say, and even those who were whispering stopped talking, watching him not know what to say.

Zhou Kui pointed at Li Guorui and said loudly to them: "Wu Qinghou has money and didn't want to share it with his brother, so he pulled me into the water, saying that selling pots and pans can make the court embarrassed and save the money. Zhou Kui, a rude man, was confused for a moment, and he was dragged into the water and did such a shameful thing. You all testimonies. Today, I broke up with him!"

After saying that, he shook his hand and left.

This is the first step that Empress Zhou taught Zhou Kui to teach Zhou Kui in public.

Everyone at the gate of the Marquis of Wuqing did not expect that Jiading Bo would say such a thing. After a long time of reacting, he quickly picked up the chin on the ground and started talking "bang".

"I said that the great and nobles all came to set up street stalls to sell pots and pans. It turned out that they wanted to embarrass the court and didn't want to pay that money!"

"Godly Marquis, it's really disgusting to do things. Even if I do such a shameful thing, I've actually dragged Uncle Jiading into the water. That's the current queen's father and the prince's grandfather. Isn't this embarrassing the emperor! This intention is really sinister!"

"All things can be done, no wonder his brother is so angry that he wants to donate all his family wealth to the court for military funds!"

“…”

The other nobles in the palace could not speak for Wu Qinghou to speak as they heard the people around them.

Because this matter was said by Jiading Bo, and Jiading Bo did sell pots and pans here before. It’s impossible to say that Jiading Bo didn’t even want to show his face in order to say the following words, so he sold pots and pans first? Who would believe this kind of thing?

So they had to look at Wu Qinghou who was in a daze with complicated eyes, and then they all slipped back to report the situation to their master.

At this time, Wu Qinghou was like being hit by a bolt from the blue and hitting his forehead. He was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't believe that Zhou Kui had made such a move.

"Hahaha..." Li Guochen next to him suddenly burst into laughter, laughing very happily.

Li Guorui turned his head subconsciously and looked at Li Guochen laughing. Suddenly, his face turned pale and red. Suddenly, he shouted and fell backwards.

Before the servants of the Marquis' Mansion made any noise, this time, Li Guochen rushed over and kicked Li Guorui, pointed at his face and shouted: "This trick again? Can you stop pretending to be dead?"

This time, Li Guorui actually fainted, but was woken up by Li Guochen's kick. He turned around and saw that everyone looked at him, and there seemed to be a little contempt in his eyes. He really wanted to yell: I was really fainted just now, not fake!

However, what if you shout?

Alongside, Director Qian from the Ministry of Revenue watched the farce from the beginning, shook his head, shook his head, and then shook his head.

Jiang Dong sneered repeatedly, looked up at the sky, then took a few steps forward, and shouted coldly: "It's noon in one hour. Don't really take the emperor's will seriously!"

Seeing that Li Guorui wanted to stand up, several nearby servants rushed over to help her. The person in charge also asked, "Master, do we continue to sell it?"

At this moment, Li Guorui was a little confused. Do you still continue to sell? He taught this idea, and it seemed useless to be done by Zhou Kui!

Looking up, he saw the onlookers pointing at him again, and could hear some words vaguely, as if saying that he was that kind of person, which was really disgusting...

Before, he wanted to watch the more people, the better; but at this time, he really didn't want to see anyone!

What to do now? What to do in the future? What to do after this matter spreads...

For a moment, Li Guorui was a little confused.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves coming here. Everyone was curious and quickly turned to look. After seeing it clearly, they were all shocked and quickly made way.

I saw a large group of Dongchang men gathered in a group of eunuchs. The raised sign read "The imperial envoy, the Governor of the Dongchang Official School Eunuch", and it was Dongchang Admiral Cao Huachun who arrived.

When Jiang Dong saw it, he immediately stepped forward to see it.

Cao Huachun ignored him, but looked at Wuqing Hou and announced in public: "Boy Jiading told Wuqing Hou to hide money without discarding it, and pretend to be poor and sell miserable, trying to confuse the people and run the court to uphold justice for his brother. Our family came to the order. If Wuqing Hou really has no money, I will give you a clean heart. If you really have this money, you don't have to pretend to be poor. If you are really poor, you will be fine."

After saying that, he waved his hand and immediately ordered, "Search for our family!"

A large group of Dongchang actors immediately responded in unison: "Abide by the order!"

Then, they all rushed into the Wuqing Marquis' Mansion and began to search for money.

If Zhou Kui had not exposed Li Guorui's sinister intentions in public at this door in advance, even the Dongchang could not attack the nobles so directly. After all, the Marquis of Wuqing was the grandson of Empress Dowager Xiaoding, and the lawless matter would not only be attacked and impeached by civil and military officials, but also criticized by the public and written into the book by literati.

But now it is different. Zhou Kui did this and did not have much resistance to the onlookers' viewing of the East Factory breaking into the Wuqing Hou Mansion and directly searching for silver. The factory owner has already made it clear that if he can't find so much money, this is the opportunity to restore Wuqing Hou's innocence; but if he really has this money, he will be done.

For a moment, the onlookers even started to speculate, whether they had money or not, they were all excited.

"If you want me to tell me, Dongchang will definitely find out the money. After all, they have experience in doing such things!"

"That's not necessarily the case. I heard it's 200,000 taels of silver. How much can it be?"

"You underestimate the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty too much. These have been several generations. What is this little money? Let me tell you, as long as you have power and power, it is not easy to make money!"

“…”

Listening to the onlookers, Cao Huachun looked at Wu Qinghou and sneered, casually ordered Jiang Dong beside him to look at him, and then he stepped into Wu Qinghou's mansion.

Others don’t know, but Cao Huachun himself knew that when he received the imperial edict, he had already inferred from the emperor that there must be enough silver in the Marquis of Wuqing’s mansion. Although he didn’t know how the emperor knew, the emperor seemed to have another source of information recently, and it was very accurate. If there was one, it was necessary to have it.

And if there is one, then I don’t believe that the Edong Factory can’t find it.

Cao Huachun was indeed not wrong. Emperor Chongzhen knew through the eavesdropping seeds on the wife of Wuqing Marquis, that the mansion had the money, so he issued this order. This time, when Wuqing Marquis did such a thing, he did not think about letting Wuqing Marquis go.

Sure enough, in less than a while, a fan came to Cao Huachun excitedly and reported: "Master, my subordinates found a place where silver was hiding in a cellar, and boxes of silver ingots were filled with silver ingots!"

"Okay, keep searching!" Cao Huachun ordered again after hearing this.

Soon, boxes of silver were searched, carried to the door, and placed under the public courtyard.

Under the alert of a large number of Dongchang Actors, the onlookers were outside the isolation line, watching the more and more silver, and they opened their eyes widened and started to discuss.

"Wow, there are so many silver ingots! It would be great if these silver ingots are mine!"

"So much money, you still have to pretend to be poor. You are really going to be struck by lightning!"

"My eyes are blind, my eyes are blind!"

“…”

The Ministry of Revenue Qian and the Dongchang people counted the silver brought out by the money, and the amount was reported loudly.

"Ten thousand taels!"

"Forty thousand taels!"

“…”

"Two hundred thousand taels!"

“…”

"Forty-one thousand taels"

In the end, the amount of silver found by the Dongchang Monk was frozen at more than 410,000 taels.

As this number was announced, the person Wu Qinghou was clearly exposed to everyone's eyes.

Seeing this, Cao Huachun loudly announced: "Wuqing Hou disregarded family affection and treated his brother harshly. This crime was one; instead of thinking about the emperor's grace, he pretended to be poor and damaged the royal face. This crime was two; bewitching Jiading Bo, doing shameless things, and having a sinister intention. This crime was three! Punishment of multiple crimes, our family obeyed the order, and the Marquis of Wuqing Hou pretended to be poor. It was really poor. All property was used as military funds and the title was cut off."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "In addition, Li Guochen voluntarily donated money. This kind of desire to serve the country is commendable. The former Wuqing Marquis Mansion rewarded Li Guochen for commendation!"

In other words, after such a fuss, Li Guorui not only failed to save 200,000 yuan in silver, but even all his family wealth was confiscated for military funds. In addition, there would be no Marquis of Wuqing in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and even the place where he lived was owned by Li Guochen.

Hearing this result, Li Guorui could no longer help it, and finally let out another "ah" sound, spitting out a mouthful of old blood, and falling to the sky. This time, none of the servants of the Marquis' Mansion went up to help him. Only his wife and son rushed over to cry.

Seeing this scene, Li Guochen felt very happy. The more he was insulted by Li Guorui in the past, the more happy he was at this time!

The crowd watching the results, but no one sympathized with them. Or they had a hatred for the rich, but they were more contempt and happy in their hearts.

"I deserve it!"

"You can't live your own sins, see who the heaven has spared!"

"I am so stingy in the face of the country and even want to squeeze the emperor out of retribution. God is so open to my eyes!"

“…”

At the same time, Jiading Bo Zhou Kui did not dare to be naked in the public courtyard. After all, the weather was too cold. He carried a rattan bar on his back outside his clothes, knelt at Zhengyangmen, shouting "Old minister is confused" words, and apologizing!

Such a big disturbance immediately spread in various yamen and palaces.

"What's wrong with Jiading Bo? How much mistake did he make? He even used the trick of apologizing for the blame?"

"I guess if I have told you too much about fortune tellers, I will know how to apologize for my guilt after I have told you too much!"

"Have you heard of it? As for the two brothers of Wuqing Hou, Jiading Bo joined in and sold pots and pans together, saying that he wanted to help Wuqing Hou pay the money."

"What, is there such a thing? Are you crazy? If you don't help your daughter and grandson, you will help outsiders. Where will the queen put her face? The royal family will be shameless?"

"And, the East Factory also found out that Jiading Bo relied on the queen and the prince to do whatever he wanted outside, and took advantage of the situation and grabbed a lot of money!"

"No, the emperor was furious when he heard the news, and the queen was scolded for this!"

“…”

In a similar discussion, it is said that when the empress and the crown prince both pleaded with each other, Emperor Chongzhen finally made a decision: ordered Jiadingbo to hand over the 300,000 taels of silver he had obtained illegally over the years, return the shops and land to the miserable, and seized the title of Count of Jiading, and was confined to read the books of sages in the mansion. He did not leave the mansion without obtaining the emperor's order.

In the evening of that day, three major events that happened in the capital almost spread throughout the capital.
