1077.Chapter 1077: The Six Princes' Mansion
Zhao Ning lived in the Sixth Prince's Mansion for a few days, at first she was still sitting on pins and needles, thinking that she didn't know when she would be able to find her biological father, three days passed, she didn't even see the face of the Sixth Prince, but the strange thing was that she calmed down and stopped worrying about herself all day long.

It is probably related to the attitude of the subordinates of the Sixth Prince's Mansion towards her, she has never been so respected, those subordinates seem to serve her as a master, and even eat and sleep with a maid ring to serve beside her, she feels flattered, and after a few days, she finally got used to it.
If she found her father, would she have lived like this?
Zhao Ning suddenly felt that even if he couldn't find his biological father, it would be good for her to be in the Sixth Prince's Mansion like this.
"Miss Zhao, the front yard is in front, and the sixth prince has instructed that if there is no important matter, you can't go to the front yard at will. Yahuan, who was following behind Zhao Ning, reminded in a whisper.
The subordinates of the Sixth Prince's Mansion are very curious about Zhao Ning's identity, for so many years, the palace is not to mention the hostess, and even the Sixth Prince's Mansion has not seen it, finally the Sixth Prince's Mansion came back, and he also brought a delicate girl, and even explained that he had to serve him well, which is reminiscent.
This Miss Zhao ...... It can't be the future sixth princess, right?
It looks like it's very similar.
"Is your prince in the front yard?" Zhao Ning actually wanted to find the sixth prince, did he plan to let her wait here?
Yahuan said, "The prince is in the palace, and he shouldn't have come back yet." ”
Zhao Ning was a little disappointed, she didn't follow the emperor into the city that day, she was sent to the Sixth Prince's Mansion by that Song Jiong later, and she didn't know what happened, she felt as if it was very serious.
"Then I'll just walk around here. Zhao Ning said, the Sixth Prince's Mansion is very big, and she may not be able to walk for half a day.
She only turned around and walked back a few steps when she heard footsteps behind her, and when she looked back, it was Murong Ke.
"Sixth Prince!" Zhao Ning's face was overjoyed, and he walked over to Murong Ke.
Murong Ke nodded lightly, but he didn't expect to see Zhao Ning here.
Zhao Ning was a little nervous, she looked at Murong Ke, and saw that he seemed to be very tired, "Sixth Prince, you seem to be tired, don't you...... What's going on?"
"It's fine. Murong Ke said lightly, "Your father's affairs are about to come to an eyebrow, you can wait for a few more days, live in peace in the mansion, if you need anything, just mention it to your subordinates." ”
"Really, have you found my father?" Zhao Ning's eyes lit up, and she was about to be able to recognize her father?
Murong Ke nodded lightly, "But it still needs a little time to confirm." ”
Zhao Ning saw his exhaustion, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Sixth Prince, I will wait with peace of mind and not disturb you." ”
In fact, Murong Ke wanted to tell Zhao Ning the truth, so that he could send her away as soon as possible, but Murong Zhan obviously had other arrangements, so he would not tell Zhao Ning the truth in a few days, so he had to continue to hide Zhao Ning.
When he sent Zhao Ning away, this Kyoto probably won't be able to stay.
He was afraid that if he stayed, he would be cranky and not know what he would do in the end.
……
……
With the return of Murong Zhan, Kyoto, which was originally panicked, quickly calmed down, especially the ministers who had been terrified that they would be killed by the Queen Mother, all of them had been reinstated at this time, and they were appreciated by the emperor, and everything returned to normal.
However, this calm was soon shattered.
Murong Zhan pulled out the account book hidden in the treasury, and was ready to ask for silver according to the IOU on it, which made the royal clan frying.
Back then, all the families in the clan were trying to borrow money from the first emperor, and they never thought of paying it back, but the emperor suddenly came to such a trick, which was like a bolt from the blue for them, and who would be willing to take out the duck in their mouths.
"What do you mean by the emperor?" In a courtyard on the outskirts, several middle-aged men sat together, frowning at each other, they really couldn't see what the Holy Lord was thinking about today.
"Could it be that the emperor is punishing us in disguise?"
"Marquis Ping, your guess is a little wrong, we haven't done anything wrong, since the emperor ascended the throne, none of us have shrunk our necks and are even in the palace...... We didn't even go to say hello, so why did he punish us?"
The middle-aged man who had not spoken all this time whispered, "There is some truth in the words of Marquis Ping, the emperor should be punishing us." ”
"Lord Cao, what do you mean by that?" asked the King of Dongjun in a low voice.
Cao Xingyu said in a low voice, "This time the Queen Mother wants to set up a new monarch, and you all plan to watch the fire from the other side, which falls in the eyes of the emperor, I am afraid it will have a different taste." ”
"This ...... We didn't favor the Queen Mother. ”
"The position is unclear, the emperor doesn't like it, that's the reason. Pinghou Ye snorted, "He just wants to suppress those of us who didn't look down on him back then." ”
Cao Xingyu listened to the complaints of these princes and county kings, and smiled bitterly in his heart, they just borrowed a few million taels of silver, and their Cao family was finished, and they had been secretly hiding tax silver for so many years, if the emperor really wanted to investigate strictly, I was afraid that the whole clan would suffer.
However, if all the taxes and silver are really filled, the Cao family will go bankrupt.
There is a dead end on the left and right, how do people choose?
"We can't get out the silver, does the emperor still want to kill us?" said the king of Dongjun angrily.
"Do you think the emperor still cares about our lives?" Marquis Ping sneered, "Don't forget, he is different from the first emperor and the crown prince." ”
"What then, do you really take out the money?" called the king of Dongjun.
Cao Xingyu whispered, "You don't have to worry, there must be a lot of people who owe money, let's drag it together, maybe this matter will pass, after all, this is all in the early years of the first emperor." ”
Marquis Ping looked at him, "Lord Cao, we can drag it, your Cao family is only afraid that it won't be delayed, deducting tax and silver is a big crime, let the emperor know, your Cao family will have no chance to turn over." ”
Cao Xingyu's expression was solemn, "I'm going to leave for South Vietnam and discuss this matter with the patriarch as soon as possible." ”
His grandfather used to be the governor of South Vietnam, Nanyue Li Jin Guo is too far away, but it is rich in products, the annual tax silver is more than 10 million taels, and then Ye Yisong took control of the household, and I don't know what happened, his grandfather did not pay all the taxes to the imperial court, to his father's generation, because Ye Yisong is too powerful, the position of the governor of South Vietnam was taken by others, if he didn't have an accident to clean up his grandfather's relics, he didn't know that his grandfather had been greedy for tax silver.
What puzzled him the most was that the Cao family had never used those silvers, where did all the tax money go for so many years?
