Three million taels, this is the current statistics.
There are still no statistics, so I don’t know how many.
So much silver.
Wouldn't it be nice to run to a place where no one can find you and be free and happy? What a guard.
Zhu Tong's face turned livid, "Look! We have to dig three feet into the ground and find this bastard for my prince."
"yes!"
The followers quickly retreated.
Zhu Tong was still cursing, "This bastard doesn't care about making money, but his identity has been exposed. I can't spare him."
Kong Qiu frowned and said: "It is absolutely impossible to sell so much silver without the identity of the prince's guard."
Zhu Tong's expression changed.
But no, if he were just an ordinary person, how could so many people believe it?
But a prince's personal guard is different.
He represents not just a guard, but the prince behind him.
At this moment, Zhu Tong's face turned extremely ugly.
Compared to three million taels, what he cares more about is undoubtedly linked to this matter, because if this happens, I'm afraid...
His teeth couldn't help but chatter, and he wanted to cut Liu Hu into pieces.
At this time, another follower came in a hurry.
"Your Highness, the Governor's Yamen has sent someone to say that someone is suspected of using the eldest prince's name to sell Enke's examination papers and defraud a large amount of money. He hopes that Your Highness will hand over Liu Hu and cooperate with the Yamen's investigation."
Came so fast!
Zhu Tong's expression changed again, and the Yamen came to find him.
But the key point is that he doesn't know Liu Hu's whereabouts at all.
Kong Qiu also frowned and looked at Zhu Tong with some suspicion, "Your Highness, isn't this a trap set by Lin Qingfeng?"
Zhu Tong and Kong Qiu were not sure whether it was a bureau or not, because they initiated the incident.
And the people who know about this are all our own people.
Impossible to leak.
Therefore, they tend to think that everything is a coincidence. Lin Bai changed the test questions temporarily because he wanted to show more kindness and win over people's hearts, and because Liu Hu was obsessed with money.
But the terrible thing is that Liu Hu is missing, and all the blame will inevitably be pointed at him.
At this end, Zhu Tong was anxious.
On the other side, the talented man was extremely comfortable.
"Your Highness, the amount of money defrauded has been calculated, and it matches the data given by Kuang Zhiwei. The total is about 1.7 million taels, but my subordinate doubled it, and the total became 3.5 million taels." Ji Xiaofeng reported. road.
"good!"
Lin Bai nodded, "But it's still a little less. Let's double it to five million taels. Five million taels will be almost the same."
Ji Xiaofeng swallowed subconsciously.
Lin Bai asked again: "What's the reaction from the eldest prince?"
Ji Xiaofeng said: "There is no movement yet, I guess he is looking for Liu Hu all over the world."
Lin Bai said: "Then let him find it slowly first, and then come and settle accounts with him after the exam is over."
Although Enke was divided into liberal arts and science subjects this time, the amount of questions was not large. The entire examination lasted for three days. After the three days of examination, the papers were unified and marked, and then the results were released.
Because it was in the southwest, the palace examination was canceled and changed to a policy review.
"Based on the current situation in the southwest, we should write down a strategy for the development of the southwest. It is not limited to the entire southwest, but can also be a certain place in the southwest."
After three days, students everywhere breathed a sigh of relief when they walked out of the examination room.
For them, everything is over, and all that's left is to wait for the rankings to be released.
Of course, those students who had been deceived really started to make a fuss at this time, and many people went to the Yamen to play drums.
Because so many people were deceived, the commotion was particularly loud.
Lu Zhendong was very worried.
There was no reply from Zhu Tong, and he had no choice. After all, he was a prince.
He can only come forward to appease the students.
But it was obviously useless to just appease him. Those students did not accept this trick and took to the streets one after another to denounce Liu Hu and alluded to the eldest prince.
Zhu Tong was actually more anxious than him. When the matter reached this point, everyone was looking at him.
"Where are the people? Haven't you found that bastard yet?"
Now he was furious.
It has been several days, but no one has been found, and there is no response from the Yamen, as if he has disappeared from the world.
The followers did not dare to express their anger.
"Your Highness, Liu Hu has really escaped, right?"
There is no Skynet in this era. Once you really escape, it will be almost impossible to find him for a while.
And this was what annoyed Zhu Tong the most.
"Why don't you inform the Yamen, and just say that Liu Hu transferred the money and absconded, and everything has nothing to do with His Highness?" a follower asked tentatively.
Kong Qiu shook his head, "I'm afraid not. Liu Hu is His Highness's bodyguard. The matter has caused such a big fuss and he is missing. I don't know what the news will be like."
An entourage echoed: "That's right! There has been a lot of unfavorable news about His Highness in Guiling City. It is said that Liu Hu is just a guard and has no guts to cheat so much money and can't get the test questions."
"It is also said that the fellow student who was arrested is also one of His Highness's..."
The matter was so big that the relevant classmates had naturally been arrested long ago.
Zhu Tong's face was livid, and anger surged in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, the attendant hurriedly said: "But don't worry, Your Highness, Mr. Zhang, the fellow examiner, didn't say anything. The Yamen has no evidence to prove that this matter is related to Your Highness. Students from all over the country are making random speculations."
"Yes, it's all empty talk."
"..."
The followers said one after another.
But does evidence really matter?
Sometimes it may be important, but other times, not at all.
For such a big matter, the outside world is looking for Liu Hu, but this person suddenly disappeared. Who would believe it?
As Liu Hu's master, if he didn't express anything, the outside world would definitely say that he was shielding his subordinates, or even say that everything was his will.
For a moment, Zhu Tong was confused and looked at Kong Qiu at a loss.
Kong Qiu thought for a while and said, "There are only two ways now."
"First, tell the outside world that Liu Hu committed a crime a few days ago and has been expelled by His Highness. Everything he has done has nothing to do with His Highness. Your Highness does not know what he has done or where he has gone..."
Zhu Tong's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was a good way to take things out of the world.
He nodded subconsciously.
But Kong Qiu said: "Just like this, students from all over the country may not be convinced, and it will have a certain impact on His Highness's reputation. Moreover, Master Zhang, who was taking the exam, has been arrested, and the defrauded silver has not been recovered. The Yamen will definitely dig deeper." , it’s not sure which step will be found.”
"The most important point is that Liu Hu's whereabouts are unknown and he may have escaped."
"It's also possible that it has fallen into Lin Qingfeng's hands."
this!
Hearing this, Zhu Tong's expression suddenly changed.
Recalling Kong Qiu's suspicion before, if everything was really set up by Lin Bai, Liu Hu would be in the opponent's hands. If he abandoned Liu Hu, Liu Hu might expose the matter in order to protect himself.
Deliberately destroying Enke is not only a matter of crime, but also against the students of the world and the people of the southwest.
Lin Qingfeng contributes to the development of the southwest, but he is sabotaging it behind the scenes. Once word gets out, he will be completely stink. This is absolutely not allowed!
He immediately asked: "What about the second way?"
…
