Prince Han Sien

Han Si'en asked someone to find a chair, and sat in front of Li Zhong's study while watching the guards search, while basking in the sun, with a relaxed posture, but because of his appearance, it made people feel hostile and gloomy.

Mrs. Li also sat on the sidelines and watched coldly.Gao Feng and the imperial guards carefully searched every small corner of the study, because they knew that it was easy to set traps on the bookshelf, so they threw away all the books on it, and Gao Feng also carefully touched every part of the bookshelf.

And the imperial guards who went to Li Yu's side to search soon came back, bringing with them a group of people serving in Li Yu's room.

The imperial guard walking in the front held a stack of silver bills in his hand, he handed the silver bills to Han Sien, and said: "Mr. Li is not at home. According to the girl serving in his room, Mr. Li is a big He left the mansion a long time ago, it seems that he went to Wanhualou, and the last general has already ordered someone to arrest him."

Han Sien hummed to show that he knew.

About Li Yu's eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, only Shi Rui in the whole Li family didn't know about it.

From Li Yu's point of view, he would be favored by Litmus in eight lifetimes, but whoever let Litmus be favored, his family can't afford to offend him, and he has to pay for it.

After marrying Shi Rui, Li Yu felt that it was really off-putting for Li Yu to see Shi Rui's face that could not be seen clearly, and that chubby figure every day.

He can do superficial tricks to coax Litui for the Li family, but it is completely impossible to keep him from stealing.

Mrs. Li also felt sorry for her son, and felt that her son had been greatly wronged, so she had no choice but to pamper Li Yu even more.

Li Yu is good-looking, not only is he liked by Litui, but also by those girls around Litui who are old enough to be in Huaichun.

Li Yu said a few sweet words to those people, occasionally revealed his distress in the face of Litmus, and showed those girls that you are hundreds of times better than her, and finally turned people into his own.

Naturally, someone is waiting to be an aunt, not only willing to partner with him to hide the truth from Litui, but also to lie for him when Litui becomes suspicious.

So Li Yu's life is extremely chic and comfortable.

Only Litmus, who was raised to see people and only look at faces, will firmly believe that her husband loves her, and that she is a cat that does not steal.

Li Yu is indeed a foolish person, and when Li Yu got those banknotes, some of them were directly given to her, and she was allowed to spend them as she wished. She thought it was a favor, and she was very satisfied and spent it happily.

Han Si'en took these bank notes and casually flipped through them. Each bank note has a denomination of 1000 taels, and now there are about thirty or forty of them in his hand.

Han Sien held the banknotes in his right hand, patted them on the palm of his left hand a few times, then looked at Mrs. Li and smiled slightly.

The movement he made was not very obvious in the noisy sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the study, but this slight sound was particularly noticeable at this time.

Mrs. Li snorted coldly after seeing it, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, her expression was slightly disdainful, and she said: "Han Shizi doesn't think that my Li family doesn't even have the ability to give his son this little money?"

Han Sien laughed softly, and said kindly: "Of course not, Mrs. Li is from a family, and the dowry money might have been more than 10 taels back then. What's more, the Li family has its own business methods and has a good reputation these years." With the land rent and Zhuangzi’s income, this amount of money is indeed not much in Madam Li’s eyes.”

Mrs. Li did not relax because of Han Sien's seemingly generous words.

The first time this son of the Duke's Mansion came into the eyes of the people of the various mansions was what he did at his grandmother's birthday banquet.

It is considered brutal because of the blood, but people in the back house have their own considerations and feel very disdainful.

They all knew more or less the tricks of the back house. Most likely, Han Si'en's life was too unsatisfactory, and he deliberately caused such troubles on his grandmother's birthday. own reputation.

Then Han Sien officially appeared in front of everyone, it was the drunk incident on the Empress Dowager's birthday, everyone didn't talk about it, but they felt that this person's head was empty.

It's just that Mrs. Li never thought that the emperor would let him come to check her home.

She never thought that Han Si'en would be so rude and domineering, disregarding the holy will and not paying attention to the rules, she had to guard against it in her heart.

Mrs. Li just had this idea in her heart, only to hear Han Sien continue to say slowly: "The Li family's family style is different from other families. Giving my son tens of thousands of taels of silver at a time will scare the whole capital." It is also a minority, which shows how deep Madam Li's mother-child affection for Mr. Li is, which is really enviable."

Han Sien's tone was very calm, without any trace of malice, but Mrs. Li always felt that she could hear a strong irony from it.

Her heart fluctuated, and then she tried to keep calm, and said in a low voice: "Three generations ago, my Li family was not a scholar. Speaking of it, my family background is not deep, and my background is not deep. I don't have the rules and regulations of those aristocratic families. It is absolutely inferior to South Korea." The Duke's mansion, generations of ministers, the titles are hereditary. You, Mr. Han, were born noble, and you have seen many treasures and curios. Presumably, Mr. Han will not look down on such a small amount of money."

Han Si'en had no intention of defending Han Zhuo's reputation at all. As soon as Mrs. Li's words fell, he honestly sighed: "Mrs. Li's words are really polite. I have been weak since I was a child, and I have been bedridden all the time. I have never seen Zhenbao Qiwan. As for the tens of thousands of taels of silver, I not only saw it in my eyes, but also in my heart. After all, I used to only have a few taels of silver every month, and recently I got more than 1000 taels For money, it's really not as good as Mr. Li.

Mrs. Li opened her mouth after hearing this, but in the end she still didn't answer.

At this time, Gao Feng led the imperial army out of Li Zhong's study, looked at Han Si'en and said, "My lord, I didn't find anything."

Mrs. Li felt at ease after hearing this, and she said with a somber face: "Han Shizi searched my Li residence privately in disregard of the sacred order, and found nothing in the emperor's eyes. Now that nothing has been found, should the son give our Li family one?" Confessed."

Han Si'en ignored her, stood up with waved his sleeves, and walked slowly into Li Zhong's study.

Gao Feng followed behind him.There are not many things in Li Zhong's study room, and the floor is very messy at the moment, with some random things like pens, ink, paper, inkstone, calligraphy and painting, porcelain, etc. thrown around.

After Han Sien went in, Mrs. Li's heart tightened, and she also went in.

She thought that the place where some secret things were placed in her master's study had a mechanism, and if she couldn't find the correct way to open the mechanism, she couldn't find it, and her family knew how to open the mechanism.

It's just that she was thinking so confidently just now, and saw that Han Si'en, who was wandering around, didn't pay attention to his feet, and tripped over a tea utensil.

Inadvertently bumping into a corner of the desk, Han Si'en staggered. In order not to bump into it, he took two steps forward to avoid the dangerous object, and his body crashed straight towards the bookshelf due to inertia.

From Mrs. Li's point of view, Han Si'en was probably looking for something to resist with both hands in order to avoid getting hurt, so he pressed his right hand on the center of the bookshelf, and his left hand on the next left of the center.

Mrs. Li's eyes widened instantly, but the matter was still out of her control. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the place where Han Sien's hands were pressed was suddenly sunken.

Han Sien froze for a moment, let go of his hand and took two steps back, the bookshelf suddenly rang, and opened from the middle, revealing the passage inside.

Han Sien looked at the passage in surprise.

At this time, Gao Feng hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord, the last general and others have searched here just now, and have checked carefully, but they have not found a passage. It must be opened with both hands at the same time."

Han Sien nodded with a smile, with a trace on his face, he glanced at Mrs. Li and said: "It's a coincidence, I don't know if this is the so-called gods who hold their heads high, but let's see who the heavens spare. .”

Mrs. Li's legs softened when she heard this, but she still kept her face calm.

Han Si'en looked back, he stepped forward and pushed the bookshelf away, and was the first to walk into the passage.

This passage is not long, there are lights burning on both sides for illumination, and there is a room in the deepest part of the passage.

The furnishings in the room are exactly the same as those in the study outside, except that there are not those messy things, but many boxes are piled up, and various utensils made of gold are piled up on the ground.

Gao Feng and the others opened all these boxes. There was one box full of bank notes, one box of rare curios even in the royal family, one box of gold, one box of calligraphy and painting, one box of jewelry and half a box of folding fans, and the rest of the boxes were full of treasures. It is full of silver.

Han Sien flipped through the banknotes and saw that the dates were all from the last year. He closed the box, looked at Gao Feng and said, "Move everything out."

Gao Feng responded in a very good mood. Anyway, this group of them has done meritorious service this time.

When Gao Feng and the others were moving things, Han Sien looked around the room, groping around, and saw a few letters in a square hole cut out in a place where calligraphy and paintings were hanging.

He casually opened it and looked at it. The letter was in contact with a prince.However, Li Zhong was still careful, he didn't mention the prince's name, nor did he mention any taboo things.

Han Sien closed the letter, tidied it up and took it out of the secret room.

Then he looked at Mrs. Li and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I will wrong Mrs. Li."

And at the moment, the palace is even more restless.

When Yuan Bao and Shi Rui entered the palace, the emperor was still in court.

Although Shi Rui is the princess, but he can't directly break into the main hall, so Yuan Bao went to report.

Above the court hall, the emperor was reprimanding the Minister of the Household Department, and Yuan Bao hurried in with an anxious expression on his face. All civil and military officials saw Yuan Bao who suddenly appeared, who was healthy and healthy, and had various thoughts in their hearts.

Yuan Bao looked at the emperor, opened his mouth and did not dare to speak.

The emperor was impatient, so he raised his eyes and said angrily: "Didn't you and Han Sien be asked to investigate the case? What are you talking about? What about Han Sien?"

Seeing that the emperor had a tendency to take his anger on him, Yuan Bao knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, this old slave was ordered to go with Han Shizi to collect bribes from Li Yu and Li Zhong, Minister of the Household Department, but Han Shizi When we arrived at Li's residence, we didn't interrogate or investigate the case, but directly copied Li's house."

"What did you say?" the emperor was shocked.

Li Zhong, who was standing there, heard this, his eyes darkened and he fainted.
