Chapter 918 Yong Kangbo Is Forced to a Dead End
"Father, I'm really unjust. I didn't win people's hearts. I really don't know where Manager Ji got his money. If Father doesn't believe it, just go find this Manager Ji and come over. I'm willing to go with him." Confront him face to face!" Chu Liuyue shouted that she was wronged, and her words were extremely tough.
The emperor looked at his two sons suspiciously. One of them also had factual evidence. The steward of the Zhou Palace was the witness, but the fact that the witness was from the Zhou Palace greatly reduced the effectiveness of the witness.
As for the dealings with Yong Kangbo Mansion surnamed Ji, Chu Liuzhou did have physical evidence. Both money transactions were made with banknotes. Although the time was far away, because of the large amount, the bank manager at the time I deliberately kept an eye out.
It was said that the person who deposited the money was the steward of Prince Yue's Mansion, but the person who withdrew the money was someone from Yong-Kangbo Mansion.
The direction of receiving such a large amount of money should not be so obvious originally, but because the bank accountant is a shrewd person with a photographic memory, he took a few more glances. After that, he saw these two people again, and then he remembered it. These two people belong to different families, one is from Prince Yue's Mansion and the other is from Yong-Kangbo Mansion, and it is said that Prince Yue's Mansion and Yong-Kangbo Mansion have no contact.
This is also the news that Chu Liuzhou investigated. Since he said so and there are witnesses and physical evidence, it means it is true.
"Why do you want to send money to Yong Kangbo Mansion?" The emperor asked sternly. How could he not know about the intrigue between his sons.
"Father, I am really wronged. I really don't know anything!" How could Chu Liuyue admit it? At this time, she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it.
Although Chu Liuzhou was surprised when he found out about Steward Ji, he was not afraid of it. If there was any slight disturbance, Steward Ji would definitely die to testify against him.
"Go and bring the people!" the emperor ordered the guards.
The guard responded to the order and retreated, but not long after, he sent a message. When he went to find the steward Ji, he found that the steward surnamed Ji had hanged himself in his room.
"Father, I am really unjust. If my second brother hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't even be able to remember such a person, let alone give a large sum of money to such an unknown person, and I wouldn't let him go out with other people. Make friends with officials, please trust your father and your ministers!" Chu Liuyue said.
The meaning of these words is no longer that he was wronged, but also that Chu Liuzhou deliberately framed him, otherwise Chu Liuzhou would be so clear about things that he didn't know about.
Chu Liuzhou was furious, "Father, this is clearly my brother's intention. Now the evidence is conclusive, please make a clear decision!"
"It was said that Manager Ji was responsible for this, but now that Manager Ji is dead, second brother, why do you have to insist on me so tightly? I really don't know what made second brother unhappy!" Chu Liuyue looked desolate, Looking heartbroken.
"Even now, you are still arguing!"
"Second brother, how can I make a strong argument? One of your witnesses is a servant of your house, and the other one is a servant of mine, but he is dead. A dead man cannot speak. You can say whatever you want. Say, I believe that my father will find out everything and will not wrongly accuse me!"
"Brother, this is such a good plan. If you kill Manager Ji, will you die without any evidence?"
"Second brother, I really didn't do anything. Is it really okay for you to say this about me?"...
The two people came and went, and they were in Yushu
There was a quarrel between the two houses. One of them made it clear that Chu Liuyue was up to no good and had secretly befriended ministers and had money exchanges. The other one hinted that Chu Liuzhou was the mastermind behind everything. He was clearly the one behind everything. The most innocent!
The emperor became more and more angry as he listened. He picked up the pen at hand and hit the two people hard.
Although the pen was not heavy, the black juice on the pen splashed all over their faces, and their originally handsome faces were immediately marked with several dark streaks.
But neither of them bothered to wipe. They fell to their knees one by one, not daring to move randomly anymore.
"Yong Kangbo, tell me where your money comes from? Why give you money? Since it must be useful, it must be useful?" The emperor ignored his two sons and looked at Yong Kangbo.
He couldn't explain clearly what his two sons said for a while, but Di Rufeng was involved. He slapped his hand heavily on the desk, "Is your Yong-Kangbo Mansion so short of money? Not only my sister-in-law, The wife has change in her hand and takes money from the prince’s house, what is her intention?”
Di Rufeng never expected that this matter would happen to him again.
This matter was too unexpected. It was not something he secretly discussed in Prince Yue's Mansion yesterday. It was indeed his business that he contacted Manager Ji of Prince Yue's Mansion, and it was indeed the money that King Yue privately subsidized to him. This part of the money The amount is really not small.
She peeked at Chu Liuyue, but saw that he had his head lowered, as if he didn't see her, and felt anxious and anxious.
"Di Rufeng, do you have to look at King Yue before you can speak?" The coldness in the emperor's voice deepened.
"If Yong Kangbo has anything to say, just tell your father. Tell the truth. I behave upright and sit up straight. I am really not afraid of my father coming to check!" Chu Liuyue said loudly.
Di Rufeng was also forced to have no choice but to sweat heavily on his forehead. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, Manager Ji of Prince Yue's Mansion did give me some money! "
"What do I want you to do?" The emperor's face sank like water.
"I didn't say what I wanted me to do. I just said that King Yue admired me and heard that the money in my house was not working well, so I specially sent some money here. At that time, I was indeed a little short of money, and... again Yue His Highness the King didn’t even mention anything, so I just accepted the money!”
Di Rufeng said with a bitter look on his face.
"Did King Yue tell you this personally?" the emperor continued to ask.
"How could I meet His Highness Prince Yue? It was... Steward Ji said this, and he also gave me the money. He said he was the steward of Prince Yue's Mansion, and I also watched him specially as he entered Prince Yue's Mansion. Later, I also asked people from Prince Yue’s Mansion, and they all said that he is the steward of Prince Yue’s Mansion!”
Di Rufeng lowered his head and said.
He had to say this. The matter about Manager Ji was found to be true. If he had not said so, his life would not have been saved. Now he could only risk his life in order to show his innocence.
"You don't know anything. You only know that he is the steward of Prince Yue's Mansion, so you dare to accept money from others?" The emperor sneered.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about it. Since King Yue didn't ask Wei Chen to do anything, Wei Chen will just think that King Yue is pitiful for Wei Chen's plight. Wei Chen's son is not living up to expectations. He spends his days living and drinking, and there are still people outside. There were some debts. When Manager Ji sent the money, it was the time when I was most in need. Otherwise,
Then it's a scandal in the minister's house! "
Di Rufeng covered his face and cried bitterly.
"My son is just a sister, and he has always loved her. If he hadn't been in such a difficult situation, how could he have swallowed up his sister's dowry? It's really useless to be a minister, and it's useless to be a minister!" Di Rufeng said more and more. Excited, he hammered his chest hard, looking like he was deeply regretful.
It is not uncommon for a son to fail to live up to his expectations and ruin the family. Prince Yong-Kangbo is not a progressive person, and the emperor has long known that he is a dandy with no great use, which is really not a good thing.
But now that Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou were involved, the emperor could not tell the truth from the lie. He looked at Di Rufeng who was crying with unclear eyes.
"Father, there is really no need for me to send money to Yong Kangbo. My own family is not very rich. Although my mother and concubine gave me some money in private, it was not enough for me to send a large amount. Money, if my father doesn’t believe it, you can check the account of the son’s house and see how much money he has!”
Chu Liuyue cried out her injustice again. The money he sent out was of course not from Prince Yue's business, so there was naturally another way to make money.
And the Concubine De that was mentioned in his words naturally made people think of the Empress.
Although Concubine De is one of the four concubines and is now the first person in the harem under the Empress, she is always under the Empress and is restricted by the Empress. Of course, if she wants to give her son something, she cannot be better than the Empress. There are more empresses, but it will not be more convenient than the queen empress.
From this point of view, the person behind Ji Guanshi is most likely Chu Liuzhou. After all, Chu Liuzhou must be richer than Chu Liuyue because he has the support of the Queen.
"Chu Liuyue, don't blame it on me when something happens to you!" Chu Liuzhou was furious, his eyes widened and he said with hatred. All the old and new hatreds rushed up at once, including the previous relationship between the two of them. The overt and covert struggles, as well as the last big fight at the Xingguo Hou Mansion.
That time, although they felt strange afterwards, they also felt that their hatred was relieved. At least the two of them had a solid fight.
"Second brother, this is the Imperial Study Room, you can't be presumptuous!" Compared to Chu Liuzhou's impulsiveness, Chu Liuyue was much calmer, and she still had the thought to remind Chu Liuzhou at this time.
"Father, Chu Liuyue'er is so ambitious. He is clearly colluding with the courtiers secretly, but he just finds these reasons to talk nonsense. At least that manager Ji, since he is his person, is also inquiring about his people. The news has passed, it must be his confidant!" Chu Liuzhou suppressed his anger and turned to the emperor.
"Father, I think someone must be trying to harm me in this matter. Please help me redress my injustice!" Chu Liuyue also said to the emperor.
The two sons refused to be courteous to each other. The veins on the emperor's forehead jumped fiercely: "Come here, take them to kneel outside the palace. When will you think of it?" It’s clear, come in and give me a reply when!”
A eunuch came to pull them, and the two had to stand up. After looking at each other fiercely, they walked out together. When they reached the outside of the imperial study, they knelt down on the left and right.
"Yong Kangbo, if you don't tell the truth, I don't know what will happen to the eldest and second brothers, but your fate is certain!" In the study, Chu Liuchen spoke, his eyes falling gently on Di Rufeng, Smile elegantly...
