Chapter 1137
Zhu Shishi stood for a long time, then slowly stood up, and said word by word: "It's better for him to leave, so as not to be trapped alive in this cage that does not see the light of day like you and me! Although that Mr. Liu is ugly, since he is a descendant of the emperor, he has amazing skills. If our son goes away with him, he will definitely succeed in his studies. β
At this point, he paused for a moment, and then said, "Let's think about our livelihood in the future." Mr. Li gave us 900 taels of silver, although it can last for a few months, but there will always be a day when there will be light. The current situation is very clear, and we can no longer have much hope for those filthy officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is to be trapped in the mansion with these nine hundred taels of silver, which is definitely not a long-term solution. I thought about asking Uncle Wu to take two or three hundred taels of silver and go outside the city to buy dozens of acres of good land first. In this way, even if the silver runs out, we still have food to eat after all, and we will not starve to death. With the rest of the silver, I plan to set up a silk village in the city, so I will hand it over to Uncle Wu to find a reliable person to do it. Before the old prince died, he said to the former king on the sickbed that opening a pawnshop to take advantage of people's danger would damage yin morality and harm children and grandchildren, and it must not be done again. After the death of the old prince, the first king returned all the pawnshops in the pawnshop to the original owner and cashed out the pawnshop. The first king planned to do more good deeds and bless his descendants. Alas, I hope that his kindness will prevent our three children from starving, cold, and dying of hunger and cold. β
The princess handed over her youngest son to Humpty Dumpty and others to take away, and she was extremely reluctant. However, she also knew that if she left her youngest son in the mansion, the end would be extremely miserable. It's just that under the sadness, there are some six gods without a master for a while. After listening to Zhu Shishi at this time, she suddenly remembered something, hurriedly stood up, and said to Zhu Shixi: "Lord Wang, I'll take you to see something!"
After she finished speaking, she grabbed Zhu Shishi's arm and hurriedly walked out of the door. Zhu Shishi's heart was stunned, he knew that his princess was from the Fang family, a big family in Xixi, and she had always been virtuous and polite, and she had never been so out of shape. He was suspicious, and he couldn't help but follow the princess out of the house, and went around the right side of the courtyard. Zhu Shishi knew that there was a cellar built behind the main hall, which was the place where the palace was used to store valuables. Seeing the princess pulling herself around the main hall, her heart sank, and she suddenly remembered what she had said when she was drinking with Humpty Dumpty and the others. He stopped abruptly and said to the princess, "What time is it now?"
The princess said: "The prince slept for a day and a night, and after more than an hour, I am afraid that it will be dark." β
Zhu Shishi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "So, Mr. Liu really took the silver?"
The princess was startled, waved her hand at Zhu Shishi, lowered her voice and said, "Lord be quiet, beware of the ears on the wall." β
Zhu Shishi smiled bitterly and said, "Our house has long been devoid of anything of value, and even if the gate is opened, the thieves inside and outside the city don't bother to come in and take a look." As for the officials of the Chengdu Prefecture Yamen, they regard us like a plague, so why will they come here to be verbose? You don't have to worry, just say what you have to say. β
The princess was not at ease, and while pulling Zhu Shishi forward, she said in a low voice: "Last night, the prince was drunk, and Uncle Wu helped the prince to the wing room to rest, and then found a fairly clean and tidy room, and asked Mr. Liu and the other three to sleep. It's just that early this morning, I watched the two children finish their morning class, and was about to go to the wing room to see if the prince had woken up, and Uncle Wu, who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, told me in a panic that before dawn, he got up to prepare a meal, and found that there were five or six large wooden boxes piled up in the front yard hall. The gentleman slept in the temple, and seemed to be guarding the wooden boxes. He didn't dare to alarm Mr. Li, thinking that he wanted to come and ask the prince for an idea. But the prince never woke up, and he didn't dare to disturb me, so he had to wait in the courtyard. When I heard this, I was skeptical. Because I am a woman, the prince has not woken up, and it is inconvenient for me to ask Mr. Liu and others for advice. When they were at a loss, Mr. Liu and Mr. Huang went to the backyard to ask to see the prince, and their behavior was very polite.
"I told them that the prince was drunk and didn't wake up. Mr. Liu said that it was the same for me to hear this. It turned out that after the prince rested last night, Mr. Liu and Mr. Li entered the prefect's yamen at night, and actually stole six boxes of silver hidden in the secret room of the prefect and put them in the main hall of the palace......"
Zhu Shishi was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but exclaim "ah". The princess was in a hurry, and almost reached out to cover Zhu Shishi's mouth. It's just that his right hand was just raised, but he retracted it and waved his hand at Zhu Shishi.
At this time, the two of them had reached the back of the main hall, and the princess walked to a large stone slab engraved with lotus flowers, leaned down and groped on the stone slab for a moment, and hooked a small hole in the edge of the stone slab with the middle finger of her right hand and lifted it vigorously. Hearing only a soft "click", the slate had been lifted up by her, revealing a dark hole. The princess took out the fire fold from her bosom and shook it, and walked into the cave first, Zhu Shishi followed behind her and walked straight into the cave.
At the bottom of the cave is a stone staircase. After walking more than ten steps along the stone steps, they saw several torches hanging on the stone wall on the right. The princess took out two torches and lit them, and handed one of them to Zhu Shixi behind her. By the light of the torches, the two walked five or six feet into the cave and reached a stone chamber at the bottom of the cave. The stone chamber was very large, with six large wooden boxes stacked in the center, and nothing else.
The princess led Zhu Shishi to the side of the six large wooden boxes, and said, "After I heard Mr. Liu, I was so frightened that I almost fell to the ground. Mr. Liu didn't care, but only asked where the money was to be kept. I was so distraught that I couldn't even speak. When Mr. Liu saw that I was shocked, he immediately comforted me and said that the silver they took out from the prefect's yamen was the silver used by those corrupt officials in the capital to purchase Shu brocade, in addition to the silver that the prefect had embezzled and looted. All this money is the people's fat and people's anointment, and it is taken in a proper way. And these silvers can't see the light, those officials who have lost the silver, they will only look for it secretly, and they will never dare to make a noise. Although the palace was down, it was only in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty that officials at all levels were not allowed to enter the mansion of the vassal king without a holy decree. What's more, the prefect's yamen lost the silver, and he absolutely couldn't doubt the prince. It is the safest thing to keep this money in the palace. AndγAnd ......"
When the princess said this, she couldn't go on. Zhu Shishi said: "You and I have been married for many years, just say what you have to say." β
The princess paused for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Liu said that he has already told the prince about taking the silver......
The princess looked at Zhu Shishi's face as she spoke. Seeing that Zhu Shishi's face was expressionless, he just nodded and said, "When I was drinking last night, Mr. Liu and others did mention this matter. I was a little drunk, but I didn't object. Thinking that a few of them might also be drunk, they just talked casually. I can't imagine that these three masters really have such magical powers and steal so much silver......"
When the princess heard Zhu Shishi say this, she was shocked in her heart, and said in a trembling voice: "In this way, does the prince approve of Mr. Liu and others stealing silver?"
Zhu Shishi replied without hesitation: "Yes! These pieces of silver were originally people's fat and people's ointment, and they were looted by those filthy officials. Mr. Liu and the others took the silver, but they didn't give it to us to spend. At the banquet yesterday, they had already spoken of the use of the money. With this money, we don't need to look at the faces of those dog officials in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As long as you work hard, in addition to maintaining the livelihood of the palace, you can also help the poor people, why not?!"
The more Zhu Shishi spoke, the more excited he became, and later he walked around the stone room, and said, "I have enough of this prince of Laoshizi." If it weren't for the fact that I had no power to restrain the chicken, I would have followed Mr. Liu to the rivers and lakes a long time ago. This palace is a cage, trapping me for more than 20 years, and I can't let our children be like me, here to be a prisoner waiting to die. We have to make a good plan and make a big plan early. β
The princess was a little happy when she heard Zhu Shiv's impassioned words. It's just that he was a little worried, and said in his mouth: "The prince has this ambition, which is naturally not a bad thing." It's just that the prince grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he hasn't done business, so how can he deal with those merchants? Moreover, the imperial court has very strict control over the vassal king, although we are only a small king of the side branch, but suddenly we started business, I am afraid that the prefect's yamen will be suspicious......
