The two of them took a look at the palace where they had stayed for a day and a night. The air was filled with thick blood.
It's time to go back and get some air.
He Qian knew the current affairs and said, "I will listen to the chief minister."
"In the past, my subordinates listened to the chief assistant, but from now on I will still listen to the chief assistant!"
In the past, I heard from Guo Huai that he often deducted money from the court for disaster relief and money from various places to repair river embankments.
They even plucked out the emperor's money for building the mausoleum.
In the end, Emperor Chongming was furious and sent someone to investigate them.
So much so that Huo Du rebelled.
The world belongs to Huo Dou now, and they fought for it for Huo Dou.
If they didn't dig a big hole in Huodu's mountains and rivers, they wouldn't be called moths.
As the two walked, they discussed where to buy supplies for the royal kitchen, and unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the palace.
As soon as he walked out, He San, the housekeeper of Guo Huai's house, ran over.
"master!……"
thump! ! !
He San knelt in front of Guo Huai.
"Master! It's not good!..."
"Shut up!" Guo Huai yelled angrily.
"Your master, I'll be nice to you. Are you announcing a funeral? Why are you howling?"
"Master! Do you know everything?..." He San was confused.
He has already kept silent about the killing of the eldest young master and has not allowed it to be spread. Does the master already know about it?
"What on earth is going on? Why don't you tell me quickly!"
Guo Huai stayed up all night. Thinking of all the things in the palace, he wanted to give up.
Pian He San came over at this time.
well!
Who made him the chief minister of a country and the minister of humiliation?
Those who can work hard!
"Return to the master!..."
Now that the master already knows, he has no worries.
"...The eldest son was killed..."
"Ah!!!?..." Guo Huai was stunned.
"Can you say that again!……"
"Master?..." Don't know?
"The eldest son was killed! The warehouse was emptied..."
Boom! ! !
Guo Huai sat on the ground as if he had been hit in the head.
The warehouses in the palace were empty. It could be said that Emperor Chongming had the foresight to move things to other places earlier.
His warehouse was emptied?
This is incredible.
etc!
The eldest son was killed?
"What did you say?!!!" Guo Huai jumped up.
"Fang'er, he...?"
"Yes, sir, the eldest son was killed. Madam couldn't bear it and was already lying on the bed..."
The butler waved his hand and motioned for the carriage that came with him to come over.
His master looked like he might not be able to walk a step.
He Qian understood.
The warehouses in Guo Huai's mansion were emptied out, and even the eldest son Guo Fang was killed.
Deserve it!
This was He Qian's first reaction.
After years of corruption and bribery, how could it be enough if the warehouses were emptied?
He deserves to lose a son.
Not just a son, but also the eldest son.
He Qian cried like a cat and stretched out his hand to support Guo Huai, "My lord, Chief Assistant, my condolences!"
Condolences?
Guo Huai wiped away his tears immediately.
He couldn't let He Qian see the joke.
"Sir, what you said is serious! Isn't it just that there was a thief at home? What does this mean? There is nothing valuable in the warehouse. There are just rags on the left and right. If the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come in!"
The treasure in his secret room is enough to buy the entire Kyoto. He is afraid of a ball!
Guo Huaiyun was calm, but he didn't dare to mention Guo Fang's matter.
He was afraid that if he said the word Guo Fang, he wouldn't be able to hold on any longer and would fall to the ground naked in front of He Qian again.
"I'll take the first step, Master He can do whatever he wants." Guo Huai held on and boarded the carriage step by step.
After entering the carriage, Guo Huai got down naked.
He Qian watched Guo Huai's carriage leave, put his hands behind his back, hummed a tune, and left the palace gate with square steps.
Just after taking two steps, a person suddenly rushed out from the side, scaring He Qian to his wits.
"master!……"
He Qian took a closer look and saw that it was He Bi, the steward of his house.
"Why are you here?..." He almost frightened him to death.
After showing off his master's airs, he held his head high and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Without waiting for He Bi's answer, He Qian suddenly stopped.
"not?……"
But his warehouse has also been emptied, right?
He Bi nodded, "Yes, sir! I heard everything He San said just now! Our warehouse..."
He Qian's eyesight went dark and he immediately fell to the ground.
He didn't know how much money Guo Huai had in his house. All his savings over the years were kept in the warehouse.
Not only all his savings, but more importantly, the letters between him and Xiliang.
"master!……"
I don't know how long it took, but He Qian opened his eyes and saw a woman's face shaking in front of him.
"He Bi, why did you become a woman?"
The woman immediately shed tears, "Master! You have finally woken up!"
He Qian rubbed his eyes, and then he saw that the one crying and wiping tears beside him was his wife.
"What am I doing?..."
Mrs. He wiped away her tears and said, "Master, it was He Bi who brought the master back. What happened?..."
If you go to a palace, you can still save half your life?
"Alas!..." He Qian let out a long sigh.
"Madam, you go back to the Wu family immediately and borrow some money from the Wu family to tide over the current difficulties!"
"Master!" Mrs. Wu immediately stopped crying.
"When I saw that the warehouse was stolen early in the morning, the master was not at home, so I sent someone to inform my brother. My brother immediately sent someone to deliver two thousand taels of silver notes, which was enough for us to survive for a while."
"Two thousand taels?" He Qian asked.
"Yes!" Mrs. He Wu replied, "Brother said that he contributed all the money in the house and only wanted seven cents of interest..."
When He Qian heard this, he immediately fainted.
.
When Guo Huai woke up in the carriage, the carriage had already arrived in front of Guo Mansion.
Guo Huaiqiang walked out of the carriage and saw the soul-calling flag raised high outside the door of the mansion. His eyes went dark and he almost fainted again.
Calming down, he had an idea.
"Come here! Take my post to the palace and report it to the emperor. Tell me that I was killed because of the eldest son. I am heartbroken and have fallen ill in bed."
He San immediately asked, "How long are you planning to take off?"
"Maybe, when will I get up and when will I go to court?"
With his dead son as a shield, he didn't have to work as an errand for Huo Dou.
He Qian wanted to see his joke. He wanted to see how He Qian restored the imperial dining room for Huo Dou.
After doing all this, I felt exhausted and fell to the ground.
.
Grove.
After Lin Feng had finished eating and drinking, he gathered the steamer and the dishes together. They lay on the blankets and waited for Chutian to come back.
Lu Huining fell asleep while lying on the blanket, and the other princes and concubines also closed their eyes and rested.
Lin Feng didn't dare to fall asleep at night.
She was afraid that they would all fall asleep in case Qin Ze's pursuers arrived.
What made her even more unable to let go was worrying about Chu Tian's safety.
