Han Bin groaned slightly, saw the gloomy look on Mrs. Huaqing's face, and said softly: "If you ...... If we don't want to mention it, we won't say it. I don't want you to be unhappy, all the unhappy things before, you ...... Forget it! ”

Mrs. Hua Qing's eyes showed a hint of gratitude, but she still shook her head and said, "I said, I don't want to hide it from you." And there are some things buried in the heart, but you can never forget ......! ”

Han Bin reached out to hold Mrs. Huaqing's hand, and said softly: "Okay, you say, I'll listen!" ”

Mrs. Huaqing nodded slightly, thought about it, and finally said: "When the prince died, not only did the palace not have any savings, but also ...... And he owed a lot of debts, and only a few months after his death, those creditors came to collect the debts ......! He smiled bitterly and said: "The phoenix that landed is not as good as a chicken, he was extremely poor and extravagant during his lifetime, his income was small, and he couldn't make ends meet, and the shop industry under his name had already been squandered by him...... ”

Han Bin has been in Beijing for so many years, so he naturally knows some of the market.

In the country of Dayan, the royal family seems to have supreme authority, but there are not many places that can be controlled, and the important income of the local family pattern and the royal family is that the imperial tax extracted from the taxes of each county enters the inner treasury.

The royal family is not prosperous, but there is naturally no shortage of some royal relatives in Yanjing City, most of them are corrupt, singing and dancing all day long, and there are very few royal relatives like Changde Hou Cao Yin who can take charge alone.

Members of the royal family can receive a certain share of the silver from the inner treasury every year, but if they only rely on the silver provided by the inner treasury, the royal family members are afraid that they will have to go with the northwest wind, so in the capital, every royal family member will run several shops and properties behind the scenes, which is a well-known thing.

King Xuande fought for the throne that year, and he was glorious for a while, but in the end he failed to fight for the throne, and he began to be corrupted, drunk and dreamed of death, fell into the wine and fragrance, and his industry was soon squandered, and he borrowed a large amount of silver for squandering, and when his body collapsed and died, he left a big mess and handed it over to Mrs. Huaqing to clean up.

Mrs. Huaqing looked sad: "The prince has passed away, the creditor has come to the door, and no one has come to help me, so I can only send someone to pawn the objects in the mansion secretly...... In fact, there are no valuable things that can be pawned, and even the dowry that I came with my marriage back then has long been ...... by him was squandered by him, dignified and royal, but he had to deal with all kinds of creditors every day, and at that time I even had the heart to die......! ”

Han Bin was also gloomy.

In fact, he is not unclear about this matter, he is mixed in the capital, and he naturally knows about those strange things in the capital, and he has also heard that after the death of King Xuande, a large number of creditors went to the palace to ask for debts.

As Mrs. Huaqing said, the landing phoenix is not as good as a chicken, after the failure of King Xuande to fight for the emperor, most of the government and opposition forces that were attached to him at the beginning were scattered in a hurry, and only a small number of cronies and officials were still ready to make a comeback with him.

It's a pity that after the defeat of this prince, he no longer had the fighting spirit, so he indulged in wine, and his subordinates' bitter advice was ineffective, so he left helplessly one by one, and finally became a lonely man, and the court was cold and sparse.

Such a prince, not only the court officials looked down on him, but those creditors had IOUs in hand, but they were not afraid of his status as a prince, and since he died, leaving only a widowed princess, the creditors had their own powers, so naturally they would not have any worries, and they came to the door to ask for debts.

This matter has also been spread in Beijing, and it has become a joke when the children of the gentlemen in Beijing drink and laugh, and the joke is full of lewdness. The filthy words directly involved Mrs. Hua Qing, and Han Bin didn't know Mrs. Hua Qing at that time, and he had laughed at it a few times, thinking of it at this time, Han Bin's heart was sore, knowing that Mrs. Hua Qing must have suffered unbearable pain from ordinary people at that time.

It is an extremely embarrassing and humiliating thing for ordinary people to be forced to pay debts by creditors, not to mention the dignified Princess Dayan of Qingguo.

Thinking of such a noble woman facing the aggressiveness of a group of creditors, Han Bin clenched Mrs. Huaqing's small hand, and her face was full of pity.

"Everything that should be done is done, and the huge debts owed can't be stopped at all." Mrs. Hua Qing said: "Just when I was helpless, someone suddenly sent me a sum of silver, which could not only pay off the debt, but also be more than enough...... After the money was delivered, I asked the man who had sent it, but he did not say it explicitly, but only said that it was sent from the palace to relieve my urgent need. The origin of the money is unknown, and I didn't want to use it at first, but ...... But the persecution of those creditors was too fierce, and I had no choice but to use the money to fill the hole ...... first! ”

Han Bin frowned and said: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief...... Such a huge amount of silver is unreasonable, even if it is over, the other party is afraid that he has other plans! ”

At the beginning, the money shop gave him a bonus, which made him proud, and finally knew that it was another plan, and fortunately, Han Mo helped him solve the mess at that time, otherwise he really fell into the trap of the money shop.

It was also after that incident that Han Bin understood a truth, there is absolutely no free lunch in this world, it seems to be a huge pie, and there is often a huge pit under the pie.

At this time, when I heard Mrs. Hua Qing say that someone had sent a large amount of silver for no reason, she immediately felt that what was going on was unusual.

When Mrs. Huaqing heard him say this, her delicate body was shocked, and then she smiled bitterly: "It's just that I was so anxious at that time that I didn't think much about it at all...... A few months later, one day someone suddenly came to the door, and I found out where the money came from! ”

"Who is it?" Han Bin hurriedly asked, he really wanted to know who would come up with such a large sum of money to help Mrs. Huaqing tide over the difficulties.

Mrs. Hua Qing bit her red lip and hesitated slightly, but finally Hua Rong said dismally: "It's the prince!" ”

……

"Prince?" When Han Bin heard this, he was taken aback.

Mrs. Huaqing nodded slightly: "Yes, after he came to the door that day, he personally admitted that he sent someone to send the silver, but he saw those creditors harassing the palace all day long, and he couldn't stand it, so he helped ......!" ”

Han Bin frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "You...... The one you like...... It's him? ”

Mrs. Huaqing's eyes were complicated, and she didn't speak immediately, as if she was thinking about something, and only after a long time did she say: "Since then, he has been responsible for the food and drink of the palace, and in order to maintain the dignity of the palace, he secretly sent a lot of silver. He helped me through my most difficult times, and ...... And he often told me about the pain of his heart......! Speaking of this, seeing that Han Bin's face was a little pale, she knew that saying this would be a bit of a blow to Han Bin's heart, she couldn't bear to say more, but said: "Maybe it's out of gratitude, or maybe it's because he has a lot of helplessness in his heart like me, I gradually have a good impression of him...... After that, he handed over the money shop under his hand to me, and let me take care of it in secret, and part of the proceeds was set aside to be used directly for the expenses of the palace, I was unwilling, but ...... But he begged me to help, and he was kind to me, and I couldn't refuse in the end, so I could only obey ......! ”

Han Bin only understood at this time that the real person behind the money shop that was burned clean by a fire was Prince Yan, and Mrs. Hua Qing became one of the people behind the money shop because of the prince.

At the beginning, he was amazed to see Mrs. Huaqing in the money square, and since then his heart has been firmly tied by Mrs. Huaqing, and he has always thought that the money square is the inheritance of King Xuande, but he really can't imagine that the real owner is Prince Yan.

"Do you look down on me and think I'm willing to be cheap?" Mrs. Hua Qing smiled miserably: "According to the genealogy, the prince should have called me uncle, he is my nephew, but ...... But I unknowingly fell in love with my nephew ......! Her pretty face was already a little pale, and it was obvious that her heart was still very hurt when these things were mentioned now.

She didn't want to hide anything from Han Bin, even if it was such an unethical deviant love, she still confessed it to Han Bin.

In fact, in every dynasty and every generation, not only in the royal family, but also in the high-ranking officials and nobles, ordinary squires are inevitably those dirty and unethical things, which are nothing more than covered up under the brilliance.

Han Bin didn't have the slightest contempt, he still held Mrs. Huaqing's hand tightly, and said softly: "We are all flesh and blood people, at that time, he came out to help you, and you treated him ...... It's not incomprehensible to have feelings for him......! After a pause, he frowned and said: "It's just that as far as I know, since he went to the northwest, his whereabouts are unknown, and he suddenly disappeared, and there is no news of him until today, he ......!" He wanted to say "more evil and less lucky", but he didn't say it.

Mrs. Hua Qing sighed faintly: "At first, I only thought that he was really helping me, and he began to treat me very well, I thought that he was sincere in everything, but ...... But then I learned that, as you said, he went to great lengths to get close to me, but it was...... But there is something else ......! ”

"Something else?" Han Bin became nervous: "Did he hurt you?" ”

Han Bin's concern revealed from his heart all the time, but it made Mrs. Huaqing's heart very moved, her delicate body had been trembling slightly, but at this time, it finally eased a lot, "He approached me, and his real purpose was to use me." After a pause, he said softly: "I didn't know the truth at first, and helped him take care of the money shop, but soon I learned that the money shop was not only a place for him to collect money, but also a nest for him to search for handles and control officials...... He used the money shop to not only earn a lot of black-hearted silver, but also control many officials...... I was ...... at that time At that time, I thought that he was good to me, and even though I knew that what I was doing was very dirty, I still helped him take care of ...... without regrets! ”
