After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

The people sent by Chu Tianyin to move the reinforcements quickly returned and brought back the worst news: "Your Highness, the palace door has been locked. No one can enter, and there is no way to ask for help from the Queen Mother."

Chu Tianyin's heart suddenly sank.

"Your Highness, do you want to go back to the palace and bring over the palace guards?"

Chu Tianyin closed his eyes: "No."

Chu Qinghuang led three thousand imperial guards to raid the house because his father had tacitly approved it. He didn't get the order and dared to mobilize the guards to stop him. When he came to his father, he didn't know how to explain it.

If that lunatic Chu Qinghuang accuses him of conspiracy, he will not be able to defend himself.

Box after box of gold and silver were carried out from under the bed board of the bedroom and from the secret room in the basement of the study. Several boxes were also dug out from under the big tree in the back garden. After opening, they were all filled with yellow gold ingots arranged neatly, which made people dazzled. .

Hong Shangshu's face was pale and he stood aside stiffly and weakly.

Mrs. Shangshu and Miss Hong who were staying in the inner house hurried over after hearing the commotion. They saw boxes piled up in the wide courtyard. Their faces turned pale and they almost fainted for a moment.

It's over, it's all over...

The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable.

Mrs. Hong's face was as pale as paper, and her body was almost shaky. Fortunately, the little maid beside her stretched out her hands to support her and kept her from falling.

Xiqi law stipulates that officials who embezzle more than one hundred taels of silver will be punished. Although there are no fish in the clearest water, few officials in the government are really honest and law-abiding. But generally, as long as they are not too excessive, The emperor also turned a blind eye.

However, the huge amount of silver seized from the Hong family tonight was enough to kill the nine members of the Hong family ten times.

"Hong Yue." Chu Qinghuang's voice was indifferent, "What did I say just now? I admire you if you can persist in speaking harshly for an hour."

Hong Yue's expression was stiff and he stared at her intently: "Why?"

"Your father has committed corruption and perverted the law. The evidence is conclusive. Do you still need me to tell you why?"

"Is it because I didn't apologize to Wen Zhan?" His voice was quiet, with a cold tone, "Is it too late for me to apologize to him now? Even if Her Royal Highness the Princess asks me to kneel down to him, I am willing."

Compared to the life and death of the entire Hong family, he felt there was nothing he couldn't accept.

What is dignity?

Once you are thrown into jail and you lose everything, do you still have the right to talk about dignity?

"No need." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "There is never anything that I want to do that is impossible."

There were still guards in the courtyard who continued to carry the boxes out. The dressing boxes of Mrs. Hong and the daughter of the Hong family were looted. There were also some authentic calligraphy and paintings, antique jades, and even swords and famous bows, which were placed one by one in the wide courtyard. Here, it’s simply jaw-dropping.

"Master Hong has done a good job as Minister in the past few years." Chu Qinghuang took out the account book and threw it to the head of the Imperial Army's Thousand Households. "Arrange some people to take down Master Hong and his family, and the others started to reconcile the accounts. In the account book Everything has to be here."

"yes."

Chu Tianyin clenched his hands and hated Chu Qinghuang in his heart.

The Hong family, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was his financial backing. The money was originally used to support people and prepare the way for him to ascend the throne. Now all the gold and silver have been looted, and even the lucrative position of the Ministry of Revenue will be lost. He really I can't wait to cut out every piece of Chu Qinghuang's flesh!

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Chu Tianyin turned around and gritted his teeth so hard that his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "At this time, we can only abandon the car to protect the commander-in-chief, and be wise and wise to protect yourself."

Before there was no evidence, he could use all means to stop it. Now that the evidence is conclusive, if he gets involved with the Hong family again, he will be seeking death.

Chu Tianyin got on his horse and looked at Chu Qinghuang with eyes like a poisoned ice sword. Then he turned the horse's head and galloped away.

If after Feng Jinzhi was beaten, Chu Tianyin still imagined that he could restore the relationship between Jinzhi and Chu Qinghuang and let Chu Qinghuang continue to be used by him, then after tonight, such an idea was officially shattered.

From now on, he and Chu Qinghuang are at odds with each other!
