Chapter 704 Breaking people's money is like killing one's parents
King Duan never asks where his family’s money comes from. As long as he can enter the royal palace’s treasury, it is his.
He never asked where the woman who was sleeping last night came from and what identity he was, as long as she looked good.
In fact, it was easier to give money to Duan King Zhao Ji than Cai Jing imagined. After 100,000 pounds of gold and silver were sent to Duan Prince's Mansion, Zhao Ji suddenly felt a sense of transparency to come back to life.
As for who gave it, is it important?
He should be a kind person.
However, a few days after the treasury of Duan Wangfu was filled, something anger happened. The Duan Wangfu became a monk. The thief did not steal gold and silver, but stole two glass cups that could not be sold for the market price of 100 cents.
Originally, King Duan didn't take it seriously and just reported the case. He was not worried that the Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glazed Glaz
Although Liulizhan is not a big deal, the sellers who are trapped in their hands are all green in their eyes and want to take off the goods in their hands. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that someone must be a dealer in the Liulizhan thing.
It would be fine if you buy a few rewards, but you will lose at most one or two thousand guan.
But if I really wanted to stock up and sell it for a high price, I could only kill the dealer behind me as I saw the prices on the market that were getting lower and lower day by day. But later the situation took a sharp turn. When someone found out that there was a glass workshop under the name of the Military Control Bureau, the utensils made were glass cups, I was stunned.
The reason why Li Kui is not afraid of offending these powerful people is mainly because he is capable and powerful, who can play with the glass cup?
As for the incompetent cowardly, what if you offend me? The man just robs your money, what can I do to me? What's more, Cai Jing is the one who presided over all this. The news of Cai Jing getting rich spread wildly, and it was a sensation.
The slaves of the Duan Palace who were both captured were detained in the Kaifeng Palace prison.
Some people even mocked the servants of King Duan Zhao Ji's family for having no vision at all, and even stealing glass cups from their homes. Is there no valuable treasure in the Duan Mansion?
How could there be no treasures in the dignified Duan Palace? There are, and there are a lot of royal artifacts that Emperor Zhao Xu gave to his younger brother Zhao Ji. Not to mention the buyers, even the creditors never thought of selling these so that King Duan could pay off his debts.
This is an imperial gift. Zhao Ji sells it at most to admit his mistake to the emperor. After all, they are brothers. But no one else can buy it, even if there is one at home. As long as it is found out, it is a serious crime. If Zhao Ji, a shameless person, turns his hand to pay off the debt and goes to Kaifeng Prefecture to complain, who can bear it?
Let’s talk about the glass cup.
Originally, this was just a farce in Prince Duan's Mansion, but when the stolen goods were seen by the clerk in Kaifeng Mansion, the treasury immediately caused an uproar.
The glass cup that Zhao Ji had privately kept was actually made of the same stove as the glass cup of the son-in-law Duwei.
This is not Li Kui deliberately left evidence, but the first batch of glass cups. Because of the imperfect ingredients, materials, and even craftsmanship, there are always one and another disadvantages. Especially the materials, yellow and black in color, the color is heavy, and the glass materials produced in each crucible are different, making it easy to distinguish batches. The materials are completely different from the materials of glass cups circulating on the market later.
Moreover, the glass cup of Wang Shiguo's family was also left in Kaifeng Prefecture.
After reporting the case, Wang Shi left one of the glass cups as evidence to investigate the case and left it in Kaifeng Prefecture. Later... he forgot to take it back.
Later, Wang Shun didn't want it anymore.
He couldn't afford to lose this person. Now he only sold one glass cup for about a hundred guan. He was embarrassed to hold a treasure appraisal dinner for a broken thing worth about a hundred guan.
After the minor official posted the glass cups from Duan Wang Mansion on a note and was about to enter the warehouse, he found that there was a glass cup next to it. The record above was the glass cups of the prince-consort, Duwei, Wang Shiguo.
After comparing the materials, I found that it should be the same batch of utensils.
This inference was informed by him all the way to the Promoter, who reported to the Prefect. In the end, King Duan was invited by Kaifeng Prefecture.
Zou Duo, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, did not dare to make things difficult for Zhao Ji, so he simply became a host, invited Wang Shen and Zhao Ji together, and then put the glass cups of both sides together. He did not speak and closed the door and let the two of them take care of it.
Anyway, the meat is stuck in the pot, and they are all royal relatives, and there is no knot that cannot be untied.
Now, Zhao Ji was embarrassed.
The first time he was a thief in his life, he stole his uncle who was both a teacher and a friend. If it spread, his reputation would be even worse.
Wang Shi was also embarrassed. He made Zhao Ji a fight, but he was not completely guilty. He was afraid that Zhao Ji would find out the reason, so he simply pushed the glass cup in front of him forward: "Since King Duan likes it, let's keep it for fun?"
After saying that, the prince-in-law stood up and left Kaifeng Mansion.
King Duan Zhao Ji sat in the official house, his face turned red and white. After a long time, he stood up and picked up the glass cup on the table and threw it to the ground, leaving with anger.
Logically speaking, this matter should be over.
But King Duan Zhao Ji and Prince Duan Wang Shi are both famous figures in the capital. The rumors about their breakup can still attract many people's attention.
Later, the sensible people figured it out that Wang's concubine was a sucker. This is a recognized fact in the capital, and her character can definitely be guaranteed. When Su Shi was framed and detained in Wutai, Wang Shi, who had no connections, stepped forward and admitted that he and Su Shi were accomplices. Unfortunately, Wang Shi was not just a relative of the foreign affairs, and no one in the court listened to him. Not only did he not help, he also trapped himself in.
With this past, Li Kui cannot kill Wang Huo to death, right?
Therefore, Wang Shi was given a more important role. In addition, Wang Shi had squandered a lot of money over the years, and it was already quite difficult to maintain the appearance of the Prince Consort's Mansion on the surface. As for asking him to bully his younger generation, Zhao Ji, there was no psychological pressure at all. Because he knew that Zhao Ji was not a good guy.
Zhao Ji's character has long been no longer under his bad deeds of owing money but not paying it back. However, this fall caused a lawsuit. Some people believe that Zhao Ji belongs to Cai Jing, who is in the military commandership bureau. Otherwise, why did he rise wildly after he was stolen by Prince Wang's glass cups, but after Zhao Ji stole two of them?
If there is no reasonable explanation for such a strange thing, no one would believe it.
But if he pointed at Zhao Ji's nose and cursed, there would be few people in the world who dared to do so. Even if he was blinded by the glass cup and looked at the hoarded powerful people, he would not dare to really not regard King Duan as the prince.
On this day, King Duan went to the harem to meet the emperor, and before leaving the palace, he would pay tribute to the Empress Dowager Xiang.
However, he was unexpectedly stopped by the female official in the palace. The other party said unhappy: "The Empress Dowager said that King Duan will not see him! Don't come again in the future."
"Please tell me what Xiao Wang did not do well and go back to change it?"
"No... King Duan should take care of himself in the future!" After saying that, the female official turned around and left.
Zhao Ji looked at the other party's inhumane appearance in surprise and thought to himself: Where did he offend her? But after careful consideration, he couldn't think of something to make the other party angry. Besides, he came to meet Empress Dowager Xiang. If the Empress Dowager agreed to see him, how could the female official dare to stop him?
Therefore, the root of the matter is still in the Queen Mother Xiang.
Speaking of which, Zhao Ji is definitely a smart person, but being smart is useless. He guessed that it might make the Empress Dowager unhappy. The most important thing is the two brothers of Empress Dowager Xiang. Otherwise, no one in the palace would gossip and say bad things about him would be useless. He has nothing to do with the throne, and he will never be an emperor in this life. In addition, his biological mother Chen had long died, so he did not threaten anyone. What is the point of frameing him?
He is beautiful and can speak, who doesn't like him?
Unless the two brothers of the Queen Mother Xiang make a fuss.
I have to say that he even guessed that Empress Dowager Xiang hated King Duan, which was indeed related to her two brothers. The Xiang family was not a wealthy family and had insufficient background. Xiang Minzhong, who was the prime minister, also had a good friend's daughter-in-law, was because the other party was a widow and had money. He also made a lot of jokes about this. It can be seen that the Xiang family attaches great importance to money. The Xiang brothers were also trapped in this whirlpool of getting rich in glazed areas.
Unlike Li Kui and Cai Jing, they did not make money and lost nearly 200,000 yuan.
This was a huge sum of money. The two brothers almost emptyed their funds and bought so many glass cups. It was not that they were stupid, but that when the price of glass cups was reduced, they joined forces with several other powerful companies to buy all glass cups, take over the dealer's business, and make a big deal. But unexpectedly, after their funds were exhausted, there were no fewer glass cups on the market, but there were more ones.
The price also took a sharp turn and fell below the sky.
When Empress Dowager Xiang was crying by her brothers, she naturally felt in a bad mood. But the reason for her worse mood was that King Duan actually got involved with his mortal enemy Li Kui.
How can I bear this?
Not to mention not seeing each other today, Empress Dowager Xiang will never see King Duan Zhao Ji again in her life.
He rode a horse and was about to return to the palace. Along the way, Zhao Ji's face was gloomy, obviously in a bad mood. Suddenly, a piece of rotten vegetable leaf fell from the sky and fell accurately on his purple gold crown. Zhao Ji's head tilted and held it in his hand, which was so stinking that it was so disgusting. Zhao Ji's anger suddenly soared into the sky and immediately cursed on the street: "That person who is desperate dares to attack me?"
As soon as he finished shouting, he suddenly saw the windows on both sides of the shops opened, and rotten vegetables and rotten eggs fell like raindrops. Zhao Ji and his guard seemed to be submerged under countless attacks in an instant.
Although he was embarrassed, he was not injured.
But Zhao Ji was also panicked and called the guards to flee in panic.
When Zhao Ji ran away, the people on the upper floor stopped and stood behind two noble men dressed similarly to Zhao Ji. These two were the Xiang brothers, Xiang Zonghui and Xiang Zongliang.
They went to the Queen Mother to cry, saying that they wanted to get back the lost money.
But when facing Li Kui, they did not have the courage to put pressure on the empress dowager. However, Empress Dowager Xiang was not much less afraid of Li Kui than them.
More than 200,000 yuan, how can you be so comfortable if you can't speak out?
In the end, I could only get some interest back on Zhao Ji.
