Chapter 72: The whole court suffers a loss
Xu Yinyin was so shocked that her jaw dropped. Damn, a one-year-old child stole the entire capital city in one night.
This is……
cough cough...
Luo Er has been sleeping since she came back from court. Could it be because of something that happened in court?
No wonder the emperor sent more than 20 top secret guards to protect Luo'er. I don't know how many people he offended at once.
This f*cking capital city is going to explode...
Xu Yinyin called all the maids and servants away, and then said, "Tell me the truth, what did you do?"
"Mother, I..."
Luo Er pouted in grievance, "I took my brother to pick up treasures. Grandpa Huang said that the soldiers on the frontier had no cotton clothes and no military rations. Grandpa Huang was unwilling to spend the people's money."
"But those people obviously have money, but they just don't want to spend it. Isn't it that they use the money to bully the common people? Or they use it to bully the businessmen. I just take it from the people and use it for the people. Do you think I did something wrong?"
Luo'er looked at Xu Yinyin aggrievedly, tears almost coming out.
Seeing her daughter's tears about to flow, Xu Yinyin felt heartbroken.
She really couldn't judge whether this matter was good or bad, she just felt that her daughter was too young and shouldn't worry about these things.
Xu Yinyin picked up her daughter and said, "Dear, you did nothing wrong. But don't do this again in the future. I'm worried that you'll make too many enemies."
"Then... if Grandfather Emperor can't do anything about it, who else can worry about these things?"
Luo Er raised her eyes and looked at her mother sincerely, "Mom, isn't it for those who are capable to do it?"
"Mom, I think my sister is right."
Helian Xiao looked at his mother aggrievedly, and imitated his sister, trying his best to blink out the tears.
He was crying. He thought his mother would feel sorry for him and let him get up, but unexpectedly, Xu Yinyin looked at him and became even more angry. "Why are you crying as a man? Go away, go outside and cry."
Xu Yinyin looked at him coldly.
Helian Xiao quickly ran outside, not wanting to bother his mother. Alas, if his sister cried, he would hug her up out of pity, but if he cried, he would tell her to get out!
It was unfair that he was born a boy.
Xu Yinyin held Luo'er and patiently taught him. In the end, she was taught a lesson by the little guy!
I am so angry...
Meanwhile, the court was in an uproar.
Emperor Xuanwu sent secret guards to protect Luo'er, but the news that came back was that more than 20 top masters almost lost her.
The news brought back by the secret guards was that the young master flew around the entire capital.
When they followed to a place, the little master had already planned to go to the next place.
They chased all the way, and luckily the little master was not in danger. Otherwise, they really would not have the strength to protect the little master!
After hearing this, Emperor Xuanwu felt his eyelids twitching wildly...
"Did you...see what she was holding in her hand?" asked Emperor Xuanwu.
"No!" the guard replied.
"No treasure at all?"
Emperor Xuanwu was confused. Why did he stay up late at night and visit the homes of various officials?
Aren't you really not going there to steal?
Sure enough, during the morning court session today, all the ministers said, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The treasure house in my home has been robbed."
"Which homes were robbed?" Emperor Xuanwu asked curiously.
"Forehead……"
The ministers were somewhat embarrassed, but many high-ranking officials still disclosed cases of theft in their homes.
"That's strange. Your family is so poor, what else is there to steal? With the little money you have, it's even stranger that there is a treasure trove in your house."
Emperor Xuanwu looked at them leisurely. Although he didn't know why their treasure house was stolen, he always felt that it must have something to do with Luo'er.
Everyone was silent for a while, and the prime minister couldn't help but speak, crying, "Your Majesty, although I only have 1 taels of silver in my home, there are more than 10 ministers whose homes were robbed. Adding up, there should still be tens of thousands of taels of silver."
"The Ministry of Justice should investigate this matter thoroughly. If not, the murderer will be caught. I am afraid that the people and those who have injured others will suffer from his murderous hands in the future."
The Prime Minister took the lead and asked how much silver was stolen.
This is not the point. The point is to use the power of the emperor and the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly investigate this matter.
Once the truth is revealed, you can retaliate privately.
This is too magical to say. They robbed more than ten houses in one night and no one noticed.
"Father, the empty treasury has suddenly been filled with countless gold, silver and jewels. It has already filled up the entire treasury."
Helian Yan'an is currently assisting his father in managing the Ministry of Revenue, so financial matters are handled by him.
He was very considerate and was late for court early in the morning, but he was considerate enough to calculate how much extra money there was, "Father, it should be worth about 50 million taels of silver. Of course, this is a conservative estimate."
The Prime Minister's face darkened and he looked extremely unpleasant. "Your Majesty, I want to go and take a look. Is it something that was lost from my house?"
"Even if you go and see them, how can you prove that those things are yours?"
Emperor Xuanwu said coldly, "Prince Pingyang said that the value is more than 50 million. Your 10,000 taels should not be among them."
"Oh, yes, there are other ministers' silver. Check it out. Make sure to have the Ministry of Justice investigate it thoroughly. As for the 50 million taels in the national treasury, it should not have much to do with the ministers."
Emperor Xuanwu said with a smile that Luo'er was really amazing, as he managed to get so much silver in one night.
The old officials below were so angry that their chests ached. Their faces were gloomy, and they felt the same as if they were dumb and eating coptis.
"Prince Pingyang, may I ask, have you caught the thief?"
The prime minister had a gloomy face, but he refused to give up. Most of his property was basically placed in it.
As for the remaining money, damn, it can’t even sustain the expenses of the Prime Minister’s Mansion for half a year!
"No, I woke up early in the morning and saw that the treasury was full."
Prince Pingyang smiled and said, "As for who put it there, no one knows. The guards guarding the treasury said they didn't see anyone go in or go out."
The prime minister had a gloomy face and didn't know what to say.
It was strange that there was no movement at all in the homes of the major officials.
The thieves went in and out without any warning.
"Well, since you don't have any extra money at home, this money obviously doesn't belong to you. Since it doesn't belong to you, no matter who it belongs to, it will all be confiscated!"
Emperor Xuanwu was smiling. He heard magpies chirping on the branches early in the morning. It was a good thing.
With so much money, I don't know how many things can be done. However, these ministers are indeed a huge problem.
It seems that the imperial court really needs a major change!
"Your Majesty, this..."
The prime minister wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.
"What do you want to say, Prime Minister? Do you have any doubts about what I said? Or, is the money in the treasury yours?"
Emperor Xuanwu said coldly.
Emperor Xuanwu saw that the Prime Minister was about to speak, and added, "If such a huge fortune really belongs to your family, it would be a great disappointment to me!"
