2374. Chapter 2374 Dressed as a cousin who was eaten by the family (22)
Duke Wei was stunned.
He admitted his debts just to perfunctory Prince Rui and prevent Prince Rui from going to the present complaint, and did not really want to pay back the money.
How can the Duke’s Mansion give out so much money now?
But now, Prince Rui said he wanted to tell the emperor.
In the end, the emperor must know, so what else did he promise to pay back the money?
Duke Wei quickly argued, saying that his family was nervous, he was unable to make ends meet, and how difficult it was. He only hoped that Prince Rui would not tell the emperor about this.
But no matter what he said, Prince Rui was unmoved.
He also threatened Duke Wei: "The Duke Wei's Mansion cannot take out the money he owed to the treasury. Who believes it if he says it? Not to mention that the emperor's brother doesn't believe it, no one on the street will believe it, unless they all know that the Duke's Mansion has ended up shaking the property of his niece Ruan's family!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Duke Wei did not dare to mention a single word.
If this is spread, it will also bring a devastating blow to the Duke of Wei's Mansion if it is occupied by the property of a pair of orphans who have lost their parents at a young age.
After weighing the trade-offs, he compromised.
Anyway, no one has paid back the money from the treasury, and no one has returned it, and he will not repay it. His Majesty cannot put the knife on his neck and let him pay it back.
Afterwards, Prince Rui proposed to return the non-public silver that was taken from Ruan Tang and the Ruan family couple's dowry and heirlooms left to their children!
The account was clearly written, and it was clear at a glance when, who took it away, and where it was now.
Duke Wei blushed and felt ashamed and wanted to find a hole to crawl in.
However, it cannot.
He picked up the teacup and wanted to hide his panic, but he knocked over the tea because of his trembling hands and burned the back of his hand.
He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.
In addition to Prince Rui, there is also a young minister of Dali Temple who is jealous of evil and righteousness.
The little prince is the emperor's favored nephew, second only to the seventeenth prince and the prince.
From the beginning of his entry, the little prince looked at him with disdain and contempt. Once the little prince complained, the fate of the duke's mansion would only be even worse!
Duke Wei could only endure the pain and promised to return it immediately.
Then he ordered the butler to search immediately in the house of the old lady, his wife, and the young ladies and young men, and sent back all the items in the accounts safely. Then he asked his personal follower to go to the warehouse to get the money.
In order to show that I have feelings and righteousness, I also specially compensated for some things.
But Prince Rui didn't accept it.
When the old lady and Mrs. Xiao heard the news, the good things they picked out from Ruan Tang's warehouse had been emptied.
When Mrs. Xiao heard that the Duke of Wei returned Ruan Tang's silver, he emptied the warehouse of the second house. Mrs. Xiao was so angry that he fainted.
The old lady was so angry that her eyes turned white and she was trembling and couldn't speak anymore.
Although the others didn't know how big the accounts were, they were still shocked to see the reactions of the old lady and Mrs. Xiao. After all, it was also a fundamental thing about their own survival.
After the accounts were checked, even the jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were returned, the guards of Prince Rui's mansion immediately set off and carried them back to the palace in boxes one by one!
After processing the accounts, it was the handling of Song Jinxiu and Song Jinyue and other ladies who cursed Ruan Tang's dead.
The Duke of Wei agreed to the penalty for silver and was confined to the board, but he did not agree to the two of them.
But he had to agree.
Because Prince Rui has a trump card.
If you don’t agree, then you can report to the official, go to court, let Dali Temple or make the judgment today, it is the most fair!
But many things in the Duke’s Mansion cannot be used, let alone the light!
