Chapter 693
Mu Zhan truthfully reported: "Your Highness, the third prince, the inventory is over. There are approximately 18 million taels of silver here!"
"What? Only eighteen million taels? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There are at least twenty million taels of silver here!" Tang Shuheng said firmly.
Mu Zhan smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, Third Prince, there is no way you can make a mistake. It is indeed eighteen million taels. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to verify it yourself!"
"Okay!" Tang Shuheng nodded.
For him, this was a good opportunity to impeach Tang Yu and step down. For this reason, Tang Shuheng specially called a large number of people from his mansion, including counselor Zhuge Yun.
After a long time, Zhuge Yunhui reported: "Your Highness, Commander Mu and the others did not make a mistake in their calculation. There is indeed only eighteen million taels of silver here!"
"Shouldn't it be twenty million taels?"
Tang Shuheng said with a gloomy face: "Tang Yu, tell me honestly, where did you do the remaining two million silver?"
"Where did the two million taels of silver come from? I only have 18 million taels of silver here!" Tang Yu sneered.
Tang Shuheng said disdainfully: "Don't pretend to be here, you'd better give me an honest explanation, otherwise you will be really finished when I punish you later! I will be lenient if I confess, and I will be stern if I resist!"

"Let me say it one last time, I only have eighteen million taels of silver here!" Tang Yu said loudly.
"presumptuous!"
Seeing that Tang Yu refused to speak, Tang Shuheng was so angry that his mouth was full of smoke.
"Hey! There's a lot of money here!"
Just as the two were confronting each other, a discordant voice suddenly sounded, and Tang Long walked over with a smile on his face.
Tang Yu sneered: "Everything that should have come and shouldn't have come today, brother, are you here to add insult to injury?"
"Lao Jiu is in trouble, all directions support him! Now if something happens to you, Lao Jiu, can I not come over and take a look?" Tang Long said with a joking look on his face.
Ever since he was violently beaten by Tang Yu on the front line, Tang Long had completely lost face with Tang Yu. Just now, Tang Shuheng led the Royal Forest Army to approach the East Palace. He, Tang Long, had already known about such a big movement.
Knowing that Tang Shuheng was here to thoroughly investigate Tang Yu's corruption, Tang Long hurried over to see the excitement.
Tang Shuheng asked in a cold voice: "Tang Yu, tell me in front of my eldest brother, where did you get these eighteen million taels of silver?"
"I earned it based on my ability!" Tang Yu said without any fear.
Tang Shuheng looked convinced of Tang Yu: "You're not telling the truth, are you? OK, OK, OK, since you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, then please ask Father to come over in person!"
"Oh? A large amount of silver was found in the East Palace?"
Soon Emperor Tang received the news and realized the seriousness of the matter. He rushed to the East Palace without stopping.
"Father!" Seeing Emperor Tang's arrival, Tang Shuheng immediately greeted him.
"Father!"
Seeing Emperor Tang, Tang Long quickly went up to salute.
Emperor Tang's face was gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice: "Lao San, how is the situation now?"
"Reporting to my father, I found 18 million taels of silver in the East Palace. Visual inspection shows that all the silver came from Fenglong Bank. In addition, there are two million taels of silver that were spent by the ninth brother outside. My son When asked, Ninth Brother actually said that he earned the silver, which is really nonsense, please ask Father to punish Ninth Brother severely!" Tang Shuheng said through gritted teeth.
When Tang Long saw this, he also clasped his fists and said, "Father, Lao Jiu embezzled a large amount of money. This is an unpardonable crime. Please punish Lao Jiu severely!"
"Yu'er, is this possible?" Emperor Tang asked seriously.
"Father, don't you know what my child is like? My child hates corruption the most!"
When questioned by Emperor Tang, Tang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said with a joking look on his face: "Since the third brother and the eldest brother are so aggressive and suspect that all my money was obtained through corruption, then I won't pretend to be here today. I’m showing off my cards!”
