The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

The Duchess knew that the rift between her son and her eldest grandson did not occur overnight.

Besides, the eldest grandson is only this old, and he can’t change the outcome of the matter.

It is true that the eldest grandson and the little prince are good friends, but what use can the little prince be to a little kid who is only five years old?

The Duke's wife didn't want to listen to her daughter-in-law's complaints, "Okay, Xu, I think you should go back to your own courtyard and think about the past first!"

"Mother Zhang, take the Crown Prince's wife downstairs!"

Soon, the old women guarding the yard took action and came directly over to pull Xu.

Pan Yuanyi also said at this time: "Mother, let's go first. Father's matter has not been determined yet, we can't be impatient."

Pan Yuanyi came to Xu and pulled her clothes.

To be honest, Pan Yuanyi sometimes doesn't quite understand his mother's behavior.

Xu was taken away quickly, and Pan Yuanyi left with her.

The Duke's wife pulled her grandson to her side and said, "Yuanbai, if possible, please ask for mercy for your father. As long as he doesn't die, we can pay the money."

Pan Yuanbai looked at the Duke's wife curiously, "Grandmother, do you know that I can contact the Crown Prince?"

Although Pan Yuanbai left the palace, he did communicate with the little lion every day.

The Duke's wife laughed and said, "Do you think your pigeons can land in your yard every time without my permission?"

Nowadays, in the Duke's Mansion, servants are indeed seen holding long bamboo poles every day to disturb the birds circling in the low sky.

It was Prince Pan who gave the order because birds always pooped on Prince Pan's head, which made him very angry.

Therefore, birds are not allowed in the Duke's Mansion.

Pan Yuanbai got down from the chair and shook off the crumbs of pastry on his hands. "Well, I'll write a letter to Little Lion and tell him that my grandmother is willing to pay to redeem my father!"

The Duke’s wife: “….”

Is that what she meant?

However, if my son can survive, it is not a bad thing.

The Duchess has only one son, and she treasures him very much.

Pan Yuan looked at his grandmother with his eyes wide open. "Grandma, how much money do you want to pay?"

Pan Yuanbai's words stumped the Duke's wife, as she really didn't know how to set the price.

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

The Duke's wife asked back.

Pan Yuanbai scratched his face, his eyes rolling around, "To me, my father is only worth ten taels, but to my grandmother, I think my father is worth one million taels!"

The Duke’s wife: “….”

The Duke's wife gasped, "One... one million taels?"

Pan Yuanbai nodded seriously, "Well, I think my father is worth this price!"

Pan Yuanbai’s idea was very simple. If all the money in the family was wasted by his father, it would be better to give it all to the little lion.

Just wait until he grows up and then take it from the little lion.

Little Pan Yuanbai’s idea is also extremely simple.

The Duchess of Guo didn't know how serious the crime her son had committed was. If spending one million taels could save her son's life, that was not impossible.

A dead horse is treated as a living horse.

"Okay, then just write this. If the little prince can save your father's life, our family will pay the money."

Pan Yuanbai nodded, "Okay, I'll write it right away!"

At this time, Duke Su was kneeling in the Liangyi Hall, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Zhao Zhen looked at the letter on the table with a dark face.

Some of this information was sent back by Xiao Jingrui from Luozhou, and some was found out from the Jin family.

At the same time, there are many account books on the desk.

After reading the news, Zhao Zhen opened the account books again and was shocked when he saw the numbers on them.

"Duke Su, I really didn't realize that your Pan family actually dared to open a silver mine privately!"

Duke Su: “….”

Duke Suguo shuddered, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case. I would never dare to do this even if I die!"

Duke Su put his head on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Zhen again and again, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I really didn't do it!"

Zhao Zhen threw the evidence directly to the ground and said, "How dare you cry out for injustice? Look at what this is."

With a snap, something fell to the ground.

Duke Su crawled over and picked it up carefully.

Zhao Zhen was so angry that he got up from the dragon throne and came to the palace. "I thought Duke Su was truly loyal to the Yan Dynasty. It seems that I was just being sentimental. You are actually still connected with people from the previous dynasty?"

When Duke Su saw the evidence Zhao Zhen threw down and the things signed by his son, he trembled.

"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding here, a misunderstanding!"

Duke Suguo had lost his usual composure, mainly because he was stunned by the charge.

Privately opening a silver mine is a capital crime with property expropriation and extermination of the entire clan. Now they are said to be involved with the previous dynasty. No matter which of these crimes it is, the entire nine clans will be executed.

"Your Majesty, my son must have been deceived by the thieves. He has absolutely no intention of rebelling."

Duke Su thought of the people who had been around his son recently, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, it must be Lord Jin who ordered this. He is trying to use our Duke's Mansion as a scapegoat!"

"Your Majesty, although my son is greedy for money, he has no guts to open a silver mine privately."

During the Shang Dynasty, Duke Su secretly engaged in smuggling business.

However, several major families at that time had done it.

Later, after Zhao Zhen accidentally disrupted the smuggling line, he stopped.

He has been very low-key in the past few years, so when Duke Su cried out that he was injustice, he was doing so sincerely, because he was really wronged.

He had already thought of a new way to maintain the family's honor, so why would he commit the heinous crime of confiscating the property and exterminating the clan?

Zhao Zhen also knew about Duke Su’s performance, and he really didn’t expect it.

"Feng Shun, go and call in Pan Liangli and the Jin family father and son."

"Yes!"

Feng Shun quietly retreated.

Duke Su was kneeling on the ground at this time, thinking that if he and his son were both implicated and could not clear their names, he didn't know whether his two grandsons would survive.

Thinking of the little prince, Duke Su also admitted that he was a loyal child.

At this time, Duke Su hoped that the little lion would remember his little friend and leave a single child for their Pan family.

Duke Su knelt on the ground dejectedly. This was his only hope.

At this time, the little lion also received Pan Yuanbai's letter. He was happy to hear that he had a reward of one million taels.

He knew that Prince Pan was wronged, but the vengeful little lion did not intend to save him.

Who was it that persuaded his second uncle to go to Liang Kingdom to become the crown prince?

The little lion thought that it would be a good idea for his father to kill Prince Pan, because then his little friend Baibai could become the prince of the Duke's Mansion.

The little lion thought that it would be a good thing if Prince Pan died.

Unexpectedly, the Pan family was willing to give him a large sum of money, and the little lion was really tempted.

He heard that the Daming Palace was very beautiful in the previous dynasty, but it was now in such a state of disrepair because of the war.

Now the national treasury does not have enough money, so he cannot build the garden. If he had one million taels of his own, he could build it himself.

The little lion was excited. He jumped onto Tiger Head's back and said, "Tiger Head, let's go to Liangyi Palace and play."

After the little lion sat firmly, Tiger Head quickly rushed out.
