Chapter 685 The Destroyed Phoebe Forest(1/2)
Chapter 685 The Destroyed Nanmulin
The person who reported the case was a rich family surnamed Li, who had some relationship with a nobleman in the capital. The rich family had a ancestral land outside the southern city. The harvest was not good, so his grandfather planted a tree.
The nanmu is planted. Although it is not the commonly used golden nanmu that is in the royal family, it is also the extremely expensive small nanmu.
Nanmu grew slowly, growing for a full 110 years. In more than a decade, it could be harvested and sold. However, just a few days ago, it was barred into flat ground.
A forest, more than six acres of nanmu can be sold for a large sum of money.
But the scene was in a mess.
Some break from it, some break from it, some break from it, some break into several pieces, and some crack in the middle...
This is simply shocking and I can't bear to look at it.
This is more unacceptable than being stolen. It is completely ruined!
I have worked hard for more than 100 years, but I saw that I was about to gain something, but I was ruined. The pain in my heart is hard to describe. But the evildoer who did such a crazy thing must be brought to justice and asked to compensate him, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!
Jiyu also attaches great importance to it. So many nanmu are about to be harvested, and the loss is indeed great. Others have worked hard for decades and watched over for decades, and the property left by their grandfather to their grandson was destroyed overnight!
One inch of nanmu is one inch of gold. Even if this is a bit exaggerated, it can also show the value of nanmu.
The destroyed trees in this land are probably less than ten thousand taels of silver!
Such evil people who harm others and do not benefit themselves must be arrested and brought to justice.
When Jingzhao Yin took the case and ordered the arrest of evil thieves, Chu Jingxian's heroic spirit resounded throughout the capital.
It is said that the mat was open until late at night. Not only did it go to watch the fun that day, but even if someone scrambled to have a good meal, no one cared about it.
A little beggar heard that such a good thing was happening, so he acted smart and quietly walked in. He was in rags and was not driven out.
However, he was found.
The little beggar was frightened and thought that he would be beaten half to death this time, or even possible.
He was just too hungry and heard that there was a free banquet, so he wanted to take advantage of it. Even if he didn't sit on the table, he would just pick up the leftovers that had not been eaten on the table.
He was taken to the noble young man.
A large number of flattering people were surrounded by the Qing noble prince.
The little beggar didn't even dare to raise his head. He knelt on the ground, his face pale and trembling.
The young master Qinggui said, "Hey, little guy, what happened?"
Everyone next to them explained the whole story in a slight manner.
Just when the little beggar thought that the Prince Qinggui was going to order him to be beaten to death, he heard the Prince Qinggui's voice like heaven: "I am happy today. Since I have put the flowing table, everyone will come!"
Someone next to him said, "How can you eat with the beggars with the beggars?"
The Qinggui Young Master sneered: "What you are worried about is not the body of my daughter, but your own noble body. Do you feel that it is indecent?"
He glanced at the little beggar: "Well, the king of Japan is talking about having fun with everyone, so he must also take into account your wishes." He waved: "Feng Rui! Xunsijia Restaurant, and asked each restaurant to make ten tables of banquets and send them to the North City Poverty Office for three consecutive days!"
The poor house in the North City is a beggar's nest.
Any refugee and beggar who stays there, and their place is close to the city gate, will not cause chaos in the city.
The little beggar never expected such a good thing to happen, and kowtowed to the Qing nobleman.
The young master Qinggui reached out and helped him up, not caring about the worn and dirty things on his body.
After hearing that Chu Jingxian beat Kong Xingchun, he was so happy that he placed a mat for a day. He also ordered a hundred tables of banquets for three consecutive days to send them to the beggar's nest in Beicheng. The dandy's hat was once again tightly.
It also made Chu Chengye Chu Yuncheng, who was staring at him, sneer.
The emperor was furious when he learned that he was so ruthless and acted unruly! The news about the secret guard and Eunuch Liu was quickly passed back. When he learned the reason, even the emperor was surprised!
The emperor said: "King Xuan Chu meets you!"
The eunuch who announced the imperial edict went to the Chu Palace, but was stunned and finally found it in Xinghefang.
At that time, Chu Jingxian was drinking wine, eating delicious food, holding dice in the most exquisite and luxurious private room in Xinghefang, and was unruly.
However, when he heard that the emperor summoned him, he immediately set out to enter the palace.
As soon as the person stepped into the hall, the smell of alcohol came to his face first.
The emperor was so angry that he pushed the tea bowl at his feet.
Chu Jingxian jumped, avoided the tea bowl, smiled at the emperor, bowed and bowed: "Father, I am lucky! Who made my father angry? Tell me, I am willing to serve my father!"
The emperor glared at him: "Stop smiling. You bet with Kong Xingchun and won the General's Mansion. I haven't settled the score with you yet! You are extremely extravagant and want to hold a banquet. Even the poor school has been set up for three days. Are you like you?"
Chu Jingxian hurriedly said, "Father, the son minister and Kong Xingchun were betting against each other, and they won openly and uprightly, without any secrets, neither using power for personal gain nor using power to suppress others. They all rely on their true abilities, and many eyes were watching. The son minister won, and he was happy. Anyway, the money was not given by the son minister, so the son minister was so generous. Since the father felt that it was not good, then the son minister would not do this in the future! No matter how hard he was, don't be angry!"
The emperor glanced at him.
In the past, Lao Qi was like this in front of him, he was not stingy and had a smile on his face. Just like an ordinary family, the youngest son acted coquettishly in front of his father.
Although he is a playboy, he doesn't cause any trouble. He likes to eat, drink and have fun, and he uses his own monthly salary. He likes to bet and play, and occasionally competes with others for the best, not as a prince, but with his own abilities!
He laughs whenever he wants to, and says whenever he wants to, without any scruples, but he has no scheming. He has also enjoyed this kind of father-son relationship.
When did Lao Qi stop talking to him like this?
It seems that three years ago, there was a small conflict between Concubine Ning and Concubine De. He stood on Concubine Ning and confined Concubine De.
He knew that Concubine De was wronged, but Concubine Ning was very clever in frame-up.
He was used to the fact that women in the harem were jealous. He was not unaware of those methods that could not be put on the table, but he didn't want to worry about it. Since Concubine De could not prove her innocence, and the evidence from Concubine Ning pointed to her, he had no time to judge the black and white for them and deal with it with evidence, "impartiality", which was also his usual way of dealing with it.
Chu Jingxian felt sorry for Concubine De, and immediately asked for an order to enter the palace after learning about it, and then he was like this.
At that time, the emperor felt that Chu Jingxian finally knew the difference between the ruler and the ministers and fathers and sons, and after seeing the ruler's power, he became calm.
Later, he became the only son in the palace who lived with him as a father and son, rather than a monarch and minister, and became a little regretful like all sons, but the monarch is originally lonely. As a prince, he has the prince's behavioral norms, calm and politeness, and no longer scattered, isn't the cynical and unruly Lao Qi better than the cynical and unruly Lao Qi?
Until today, when he saw Chu Jingxian talking to him in this tone, a trace of nostalgia arose in his heart.
However, the emotion in his heart was only a moment, and he said, "It has been a few days since he returned to Beijing, why don't you go to the palace to see your mother?"
Chu Jingxian smiled and his eyes were filled with a smile, and his expression was as if he was like a spring breeze suddenly froze. Then, he lowered his head slightly and said, "My son knows his mistake, I will go to see his mother later!"
The emperor asked knowingly: "You were very filial before. What happened that made you have a conflict with your mother?"
Chu Jingxian lowered her head and said, "There is no quarrel, but my son is busy with this matter and has been delayed..."
"What you call busy with is a luxury bet with Kong Xingchun? Is it a daily life to buy drunk in Xinghefang? Is it a call for friends and a rich and rich person?"
"Son minister, son minister..." Chu Jingxian said in a embarrassed look: "Father, son minister just suffered from war and felt that life in the capital was better. Since he returned to the capital, he wanted to indulge for a few days. No, what the father said was so unbearable?"
The emperor said: "Hmph!"
Chu Jingxian suddenly fell down with a depressed look on his face.
The emperor said, "Don't you say it?"
Chu Jingxian wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, she seemed to grit her teeth and said with a little anger: "Wu Fengxin, the son-in-law once regarded him as his uncle, but he did not regard the son-in-law as his nephew."
"What does this mean? Tell me in detail!" The emperor, who had known the cause and effect for a long time, had an unfathomable mind, and there was no clue on his face.
Since Chu Jingxian opened his mouth, there was no need to hide it later. He said: "In mid-September last year, the battle between Erchen and Chenglan Kingdom was in a stalemate. At such an important time, the food and grass were late. Half a month later, our army's food was exhausted. If Erchen had not robbed the enemy's food and solved the urgent problem, the result of the battle would have been a disastrous defeat!"
The emperor frowned: "What happened?"
Chu Jingxian nodded and was filled with righteous indignation: "Don't say that I and him are nominally uncle and nephew, even if they don't know each other before, and they are related to national affairs, he shouldn't do this!"
"So you even hate your mother for this?"
"It's not hatred!" Chu Jingxian lowered her head and looked depressed: "But when the son-in-law sees her mother, he will definitely think of Hu Fengxin treating me like this, so he feels conflicted for a moment!"
The emperor said: "As the Minister of Personnel, Hu Fengxin was the chief of the grain supervision agency that time, and he was neglecting his duties. I can't spare him!"
Chu Jingxian said: "Thank you, Father!"
The emperor said: "Didn't you say you want to share my worries? When will you go to court?"
Chu Jingxian's eyes flashed and she said with little confidence: "Father, the war is very hard. Can you let Erchen rest for a few more days?"
The emperor's face sank: "You have been resting for half a month, isn't it enough? From tomorrow, you must attend the morning court. If you don't have one, I will fine you one year's salary!"
Chu Jingxian suddenly raised her head, looking shocked and unacceptable, and said, "Father..."
"I have decided! Go back!"
Chu Jingxian looked at the emperor with a pair of wet eyes.
The emperor looked calm and said, "Get out quickly! Get out to see your mother!"
Chu Jingxian had no choice but to leave.
Seeing his back disappearing into the hall, the emperor's face was not as angry as before? He even smiled.
Eunuch Liu, who had been waiting on the side like a transparent person, couldn't help laughing.
This smile made the emperor pay attention to him, and the emperor said, "Why are you, old guy?"
Eunuch Liu said hilariously: "The Seventh Prince loves to play, and the Emperor's move will make him feel uncomfortable for a while."
The emperor said: "Old Qi is smart. If he really wants to share my worries, I will be much easier!"
