On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal
Chapter 60: I say you are a rat, do you admit it?
Murong Yan looked at Gu Beichen suspiciously, and heard the latter speak loudly.
"What do you mean, Your Highness? How would I know how much money you have?"
"My dear nephew, you are wrong. Didn't your Gu family give this money to my Lin family?"
Ok?
Gu Beichen was slightly stunned.
He actually said that.
Is it hard to say whether he thinks His Majesty will believe him? Or does His Majesty believe that my Gu family has embezzled millions of taels?
Gu Beichen didn't know what tricks Lin Zhenxian was playing, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you never lie. What happened today?"
Lin Zhenxian laughed loudly towards the sky.
"Lying? Hahahahahaha, that's ridiculous! I've spent my entire life on the battlefield, and all heroes in the world are terrified by my name. I've killed at least 80,000, if not 100,000,000 people. I'm lying? Who do you think is worthy of telling me to lie?"
"Beichen, don't talk nonsense. How could the Regent lie?"
"Your Majesty..." Gu Beichen was about to explain, but Murong Yan waved her hand to stop him. She fixed her gaze on Lin Zhenxian again and asked, "Your Majesty, you just said that this money belonged to the Gu family. Do you have any evidence?"
"Gu Beichen said that I suddenly became rich, but do you have any evidence?"
Gu Beichen gritted his teeth: "Didn't you just admit it?"
"Yes, at least I have the courage to admit it, unlike some rats who don't even have the courage to take responsibility for their actions."
"You! What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? I want to know what you mean! On the day of the royal wedding, you disregarded propriety and entered the palace to steal the bride. If His Majesty hadn't been there, do you think you would still be alive? This time doesn't count. You even seduced the young lady of the royal palace to go to the casino! Humph, I don't know how a great scholar like Gu Yunting could raise such a disloyal, unfilial, and shameless son like you."
"You! Your Highness, please don't take advantage of this situation. We're talking about your family's money!"
"The Lin family's finances are managed by me personally. It's not your turn as an outsider to comment on them."
"Then tell me where your money comes from?"
"You are so sure that I have money, so why don't you tell me where the money is?"
"I..."
grandma's.
When did this old B Deng become so eloquent?
Murong Yan understood something and asked, "Prince, have you become rich?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you. I have made a fortune."
"How many are there?"
Lin Zhenxian looked directly at Gu Beichen: "Nephew Gu, His Majesty is asking you a question."
"Me?" Gu Beichen pointed at himself, "How would I know how much money you have?"
"Then how did you know that I became rich?"
After saying that, Murong Yan, Lin Zhenxian, including Huanhuan who had been serving Murong Yan, all looked at Gu Beichen at the same time.
Now he was really panicked.
He never expected that Lin Zhen's ability to sophistry was so strong that he could attract everyone's attention with just a few words.
"Beichen, now that the Regent is here, if you have anything to say, just say it without fear of confrontation."
Murong Yan gave him an affirmative look, which meant, just say it boldly, I will definitely support you.
But this look was undoubtedly a death warrant in Gu Beichen's heart.
The money is his, but he can't tell anyone!
"Your Majesty... I also heard rumors..."
"Rumor? How small a rumor? How small a rumor? How did you know something that even His Majesty's Hundred Cavalry Division didn't know? Could it be that you were secretly monitoring the palace?!"
Lin Zhenxian deliberately emphasized the last few words.
This is also what Lin Zhen taught him, that you should prioritize what you say so that it will sound meaningful to others.
Gu Beichen's temples were covered in sweat, his mind racing. He hadn't expected Lin Zhenxian to be so formidable. He had thought a debate he was sure to win had turned into a battle for him to spy on the palace.
This is a serious crime!
Although Murong Yan will not impose punishment directly, it will have a very bad impact on the court.
"Your Highness, you are joking. How could I possibly spy on your palace? I don't have the guts."
"You have the guts to tease me in front of His Majesty, but you don't have the guts to admit it? Then I just called you a rat, do you admit it?"
"Your Highness, as a judge of the Imperial Academy, I naturally have the obligation to report this to Your Majesty."
"Nonsense! Daqian has censors and imperial doctors. When did it become your turn as a mere court judge to report someone? The one who reported me was the current regent! If you can't produce evidence today, don't blame me for being ruthless."
A war god like Lin Zhenxian, who has waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, releases a sense of oppression that ordinary people cannot bear.
Gu Beichen could already feel his legs trembling unconsciously. He said with a stiff upper lip, "Your Highness, I really don't have any evidence, but you just said that you did make a fortune."
"Yes, I did make a small fortune, but how did you know that? Tell me, and I won't argue with you today."
Are you going to argue with me?
Now that you suddenly have a large sum of money of unknown origin, why are you still not bothering me?
Why are you as unreasonable as your grandson?
Murong Yan frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, you are a person who never lies. Is this money just a small fortune?"
"Hahahaha, a real man is arrogant and doesn't care about trivial matters. In my opinion, any amount of money is just a small change, not worthy of being presented in a formal room, let alone being presented in front of Your Majesty."
That’s right, millions of silver taels are just a small amount of money in my eyes, Lin Zhenxian.
Because he couldn't spend it at all, Lin Zhen refused to give it to him.
So it's not really a lie.
Murong Yan was furious.
He didn't care at all where Gu Beichen got the information from. She just wanted to know how much money Lin Zhenxian had and whether she could extort some from him!
"Your Majesty, I just want to ask you one question: how much wealth have you made?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know."
“I don’t know!?” Murong Yan’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
I do not know what that means?
"Your Majesty, I really don't know, because the money is in the hands of my useless grandson."
"You mean Lin Zhen?"
"Yes, how about I go back and call him now?"
Call Lin Zhen into the palace?
He can bring the dead back to life with his mouth!
Anyone who debates with him is simply asking for humiliation!
"Forget it, Prince Lin doesn't have to enter the palace." Murong Yan's tone was slightly disappointed. At this moment, Gu Beichen suddenly added fuel to the fire.
"Your Highness, even if it's in Lin Zhen's hands, this amount of money is not a small sum, right? The Liaodong floods are just right now, and they need financial aid. Why don't you take some out and help the local victims?"
Lin Zhenxian didn't get the news as quickly as Murong Yan, and didn't know about the disaster in Liaodong. So he widened his eyes and asked, "What? How could this happen?"
"Alas, it's the rainy season now. Heavy rain has hit ten counties in Liaodong, leaving the fields barren and the people homeless. They are suffering terribly."
The people's affairs have always been Lin Zhenxian's primary concern. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty! I am willing to donate 100,000 taels to help the victims!"
"What? One hundred thousand?"
