Chapter 207 This is too much profit!

Yun Chuhuan's defense was really broken.

You know, the weather in the capital is now heading towards summer.

Especially in the past two days, the weather has been so hot that it seems like summer has arrived early.

He was wielding a shovel under the tree in such hot weather, sweating profusely. After working so hard for quite some time, he finally dug out a pile of waste paper?
are you crazy! !
Yun Chuhuan was almost angry and cried:

"Is Tang Bingfu doing this on purpose? Does he think that even if he wants to confiscate our property, he has to disgust us?
This is too much! Fifth sister, when you return to the palace, can you tell the emperor to let me beat Tang Bingfu before he orders him to behead him?
He is clearly teasing us..."

Yun Shu looked at his broken defense and knew that he was not lying this time.
I couldn't help but look through the papers that Tang Bingfu had carefully hidden out of curiosity.

Upon seeing this, the careless look on her face disappeared completely——

"Okay, stop yelling, I'll give you credit for this.

I'll try to talk to my father later and you won't have to deal with the concrete pillar at the entrance of the imperial study.

If the emperor doesn't agree, I will pay the 20,000 taels fine for you!"

"……real?!"

The scolding against Tang Bingfu came to an abrupt end.

Yun Chuhuan realized something, and his eyes fell back on the pile of "waste paper" in Yun Shu's hand:

"Is there anything particularly important written on these papers?"

"It is very important, and must be given to Father immediately."

Yun Shu nodded, gathered all the letters and put them in his arms:
"I'm going back to the palace now. Do you want to come with me or stay here and continue watching the fun?"

"I will definitely go back to the palace to watch the fun!"

Almost everything here has been turned over, and what remains is to escort the Tang family members to the prison.

God knows if you might get accidentally injured by someone spitting on you along the way!

Yun Chuhuan decisively chose to follow Yun Shu and leave first.

The two men greeted Ye Yunhu and quickly rushed back to the palace with a few guards.

At that time, after confronting Tang Bingfu in the imperial study, the crown prince, who had no right to refute his facts, knelt before Emperor Xuanwu with a panicked and sorrowful expression and pleaded:
"Father, I really know I was wrong.

I know that selling official positions is an unforgivable crime.

But there was a famine in Pengzhou before, and so many victims were waiting for relief food from the court. The Ministry of Revenue had limited funding. I couldn't bear to make my father worry, but I couldn't bear to see the people suffer.
Many valuable items in the Eastern Palace that did not violate the rules were sold, and all the silver and money in the Eastern Palace were emptied to collect an extra 200,000 taels, but it still failed to completely solve Pengzhou's urgent needs.

A large number of disaster victims are still dying every day.

They are all your people, Father!

I really had no other choice but to sell my official position to raise money...

I am timid. After committing such a big mistake, I am afraid that you, Your Majesty, will be disappointed in me, so I dare not take the initiative to confess to you.

But I can swear that, apart from the ten official positions I sold this time, I have never done such a thing again!"

The prince wept bitterly as he looked up at Emperor Xuanwu:
"Your Majesty, I know very well that your father hates this matter so much. Your Majesty, your Majesty, I..."

"His Majesty."

Before the prince finished speaking, Li Dehai suddenly came in from outside with small steps, walked quickly to Emperor Xuanwu, and whispered:

"Princess Sheng'an and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince requested to see you. They said they have something important to report to you."

At this time, he came back and said he had something important to report.
Could it be that something extraordinary was discovered in the Tang Mansion?

Emperor Xuanwu narrowed his eyes and glanced solemnly at the kneeling Crown Prince and Tang Bingfu: "Let them in!"

Li Dehai lowered his head and responded in a low voice.
Not long after, Yun Shu and Yun Chuhuan came in from outside.

Yun Shu was holding a thick envelope in his hand, but no one could see what was inside.
Only after Tang Bingfu caught a glimpse of it, the expression on his already pale face became even more desperate!

"My son, please see your father!"

After simply paying his respects to Emperor Xuanwu, and when Emperor Xuanwu signaled them to stand up, Yun Shu didn't waste any words and directly handed the envelope in his hand to Emperor Xuanwu:

"This is what my son and I accidentally dug up from under a tree in the backyard of the Tang Mansion when we went to search the house today.

Because this matter is of great importance, I dare not make a decision on my own, so I can only bring it back to my father."

It was actually dug out by Lao Liu?

At this time, Emperor Xuanwu still had a little time to spare and was surprised for a moment at this unimportant little detail.

But soon, as the contents of the envelope were unfolded before his eyes,

Rage instantly filled his entire chest—

boom!
A palm strike with the wrath of thunder was so strong that even the inkstone on the dragon table shifted slightly.

Emperor Xuanwu's chest rose and fell violently twice. When he looked up at the crown prince, his expression was distorted. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words word by word:
"What did you say just now? You know very well that I hate this matter, and then what?"

"Of course..."

The prince is not a fool.

After reading the contents of the envelope, the emperor instantly flew into a rage and questioned him with such an expression and such a tone...

The envelope might contain...

The prince was in a state of confusion, and was overwhelmed by a huge panic, so that he had no idea how to deal with it.

I could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy instinctively:

"Father calm down!"

"How can you calm me down?"

Emperor Xuanwu threw all the papers in his hand away in anger.

Most of them fell on the prince, but a few of them swirled and landed in front of Yun Chuhuan.

"This is……"

Because Yun Shu had read the contents of the envelope and hurriedly brought him back to the palace.

Yun Chuhuan really didn't know what was written here before.

After taking a quick look, even someone as unreliable as Yun Chuhuan was shocked:

"Are these not all evidence that the Crown Prince is selling official positions?
Are these merchants so rich? Are they all crazy trying to become officials?

A small official of the eighth or ninth rank can be sold for two or three hundred thousand, so there are at least dozens of them, this is too profitable... Woo!"

Yun Shu suddenly poked him with his elbow. Yun Chuhuan realized that he had accidentally shouted out loud and quickly covered his mouth in fear.

He was afraid that his father would be unhappy and take his anger out on him, and fine him tens of thousands of taels of silver or something.

Fortunately, Emperor Xuanwu was really mad at the Crown Prince this time, and he had no time to care about what Yun Chuhuan said.

From beginning to end, those eyes were fixed on the prince.
