Chapter 203: Confiscating Houses and Gaining Experience
"Father, please don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health. Who is Tang Bingfu?
It's not worth getting sick from being angry at such a person!"
Knowing that Emperor Xuanwu was angry not just because of Tang Bingfu, Yun Shu deliberately omitted the crown prince, and called out Tang Bingfu's name with an innocent look on his face, and scolded the crown prince as well.
After scolding, he did not forget to take credit for himself:
"Father, please look at this. After I found out that Mr. Tang was unreliable, I went to find Xiao Yuanzi to make this. It's called cement. This is what it looks like after it dries..."
Yun Shu coughed lightly:
"You should have seen it."
Emperor Xuanwu: “…”
More than just seen?
He even tripped!
Now the sound of Yun Chuhuan, that rebellious son, banging this thing around can still be heard outside!
However, he had never seen the cement in its unformed state.
Emperor Xuanwu's expression eased a little. He leaned over to open the seal of the wine jar and took a look. His eyes moved slightly:
“I heard that this cement can be used to build embankments and roads?”
"That's right! And the price is not high!"
Yun Shu nodded repeatedly:
"Before I came here, I asked my grandfather to help me calculate. If we use this cement to build the embankment, including the time it takes to make the cement, it can be completed within 20 days, and the cost is only about 80,000 taels.
Father, you only need to raid Tang Bingfu's house, and the money he embezzled this time will be enough!"
"Ah."
Probably because of the incident between the crown prince and Tang Bingfu, Emperor Xuanwu was still angry.
Even after hearing such good news, he did not show any joy, and only responded lightly:
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
"…What can I do for you?"
Yun Shu was stunned for a moment, and then confirmed carefully:
"Should we rebuild the dam or raid Tang Bingfu's house?"
"All."
Emperor Xuanwu looked past her and toward the door:
"Li Dehai."
"The slave is here!"
"Give Princess Sheng'an a group of guards and ask her to take them to Tang Bingfu's house."
"Yes!"
Yun Shu: “???”
No, is it decided so hastily?
Don't you even need to ask her opinion?
Yun Shu was shocked:
"Father, I have never had the experience of having my property confiscated!
Besides, there is no need to wait until the matter is fully investigated before issuing an order..."
"Haven't you already found out everything?"
Emperor Xuanwu interrupted her directly:
"As for things like house raiding, it's not difficult at all. You'll gain experience as you go along."
I just kept copying...
Why does it sound like I'm about to copy a large batch of things?
"That……"
There was no time to think too much about it, Yun Shu was confused:
"What should we do with the people in the Tang Mansion?" "Throw them all into jail first."
Emperor Xuanwu said casually:
"Li Dehai is very careful in his work, and he will definitely give you a guard army that has experience in confiscation of property.
If you have any questions later, just ask the commander of the guards!"
"……Yes."
Yun Shu came out of the imperial study room in a daze. He still hadn't figured out why he had to lead a team to search the house for no apparent reason.
Yun Chuhuan, who was still squatting on the ground worrying about the mini concrete wall, threw away the hammer and grabbed Yun Shu's sleeve tightly:
"Fifth sister, you must take me with you when you go to search the house!"
"Why bring you along?"
Yun Shu's mouth twitched as he glanced at the unscathed "city wall" on the ground:
"Didn't the Emperor tell you to get rid of this thing today?"
"Then the Emperor didn't tell me to use a hammer! Didn't he tell me to figure it out on my own?"
Yun Chuhuan finished shouting this sentence anxiously, and then he remembered that he was still at the door of the imperial study. If his voice was a little louder, his father would probably be able to hear his words clearly.
He quickly lowered his voice carefully:
"I've thought about it carefully. There's no way I can use a hammer. It won't work even if I just live here!
So I have to leave the palace to find Xiao Yuanzi and ask if there is any other way.
If it really doesn't work, when you search the house, we can try to take some secretly.
At least let me hold on for two more days!"
"..."
Wow, at such a young age, he has already learned how to embezzle money without any instruction!
Originally, the emperor ordered her to confiscate Tang Bingfu's property because of his rage at his corruption.
As a result, she took Yun Chuhuan with her to embezzle money again?
This naughty kid is really brave!
Yun Shu glanced at him with an indescribable look, and threatened in a low voice:
"Have you forgotten that I have a Dragon Shadow Guard following me?"
Yun Chuhuan, who didn't know that his father had already given those Dragon Shadow Guards directly to his fifth sister, thought that his father had only temporarily assigned them to Yun Shu and might take them back at any time: "..."
Yes, there are Dragon Shadow Guards watching. If he secretly puts some money in his pocket and is discovered,
Who knows what additional punishment my father will impose!
Yun Chuhuan gave up the idea in frustration, and was depressed for less than two seconds.
Soon he shook his head again:
"Even if I can't take it, I'll still go. I've never seen a house search like this!
I heard it was very interesting! "
"What's the point of confiscating the house? There will definitely be a lot of crying and begging for mercy, it will be a headache!"
While the two were talking, Li Dehai also came over with his guards.
They were the same old acquaintances who had followed Yunshu to inspect the Spring Examination Hall before.
But this time there is an additional commander of the imperial guards who looks like a scholar——
"General Ye Yunhu pays respects to Princess Sheng'an and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince!"
"Commander Ye, there is no need to be so polite."
Yun Shu looked at the man with some curiosity, and was secretly wondering if he was a young man of the same type as Tang Muzhi, a young man with a refined temperament and both literary and martial skills.
There was no gossip in his mouth:
"My father said that Commander Ye should have experience in confiscating property. If there is anything I don't understand later, I will need Commander Ye's guidance."
"I don't deserve your advice. It's just my job!"
Perhaps because most military commanders are straightforward, Ye Yunhu did not say much to Yun Shu, and quickly raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation:
"Your Highness, please!"
"..."
Leading a team of imperial guards, and Yun Chuhuan, the little tail that can't be shaken off at all,
On the way out of the palace, Yunshu happened to meet the prince who was being led to the imperial study by a young eunuch.
Their eyes met, and Yun Shu, too lazy to be polite with him, simply turned his eyes away, pretending that he didn't see anyone at all.
The prince's eyes flashed with anger when he saw this. He was angry but also began to worry.
My father suddenly sent someone to look for me today, and I don't know why.
At this critical moment, Yun Shu brought a team of imperial guards and seemed to be leaving the palace...
Could it be that something big had happened that he didn't know about?
