Chapter 552
Prince Jin was kneeling on the ground. When he heard these words, he immediately raised his head and looked at the emperor sorrowfully, "Father, I, your son, am what kind of person you are. You should know that your son admits that he has spent a lot of time and effort fighting with his big brother, but your son will always remember your teachings.
We can compete with each other, but we will never do anything that would harm the government. "
The emperor narrowed his eyes abruptly as disappointment flashed across his eyes. "Third brother, I have misjudged you. "I thought you were a gentleman even though you had some ulterior motives, but I didn't expect you to be a complete villain!"
"How could he brazenly say such words after having caused so much harm to so many people?" royal father, didn't you say that your son would be forced to die? " "This son will always remember royal father's teachings. Every day, I will always wake up and use my father as a role model to do things that are beneficial to the people and the government. However, my father will always do the same!"
Yet, you think this child is a villain? With such an assertion, how can this child still have the face to continue living in this world? " The emperor shut his eyes and refused to look at Prince Jin's expression. "Since you are unwilling to admit it, I shall ask you in person." The salt merchants of Jiangnan and the officials of Riverside City have admitted that they paid you a total of nearly three million silver taels after the last inspection of the salt tax. Is this true?
"
"No, it's completely illusory."
"Also, someone admitted that Lin Jiang broke the bank because you wanted to destroy the fake salt tax account book and proof of the tax money. Is that true?"
"No, I have no idea."
"If you don't admit to these two things, then you definitely won't admit to the case of the beggar who hid away the money in the capital." The emperor turned around and sat back on his throne. He looked at Prince Jin coldly, "Things have already come to this point. I am not willing to speak with you any longer. I only ask you one question. Do you know your crimes?"
Prince Jin panicked, "Imperial Father, this son doesn't know where his mistake is, please enlighten me."
"Didn't you say that before? "After our decree, you should have returned to the capital with our king, but you stayed in the Tomb City for a few days, clearly disobeying his decree." Prince Jin's heart sank, "Father, the reason why I am staying in Riverside City is because I want to help Lord Qi finish his business. Rain will come in the south of the river at any time, when it rains down, the riverbank won't be able to be protected.
"The citizens of the city, think..."
"I don't care who you are thinking for, I only know that after receiving your orders, you disobeyed them and became extremely disrespectful to me. Don't tell me that you're not even willing to admit the crimes that you've said yourself?"
Prince Jin clenched his fists tightly and raised his head to look at the cold expression on the emperor's face. "I'm willing to admit it."
"Good, you are my son after all, and I will not kill all of you, but you can avoid death, and escape from life." Very good, after all, you are after all, you are my son, and I will not kill all of you, but you can avoid all of us, and
Jin Wang Ke trembled uncontrollably, "Father, you want to imprison me?"
"Rejecting the decree is a capital offense, but I have already pardoned you. I have exempted your highness from the title, but the conditions and servants will not be remitted, from now on …" You better take care of yourself. " Prince Jin could not help but have his eyes turn red, "Royal father, why are you treating me like this? I have always thought that I have seriously completed everything I told my father ever since I became an adult. Even if my royal brother oppresses me, I have always tried to hold myself back. Don't tell me I have done all these things over the years … [] [Table of Contents] []
Was it not worth a single cent in royal father's eyes? This time, he went to Jiangnan without a care for the lives of all the people, so it can be said that he has done nothing at all. You came to punish him just because he was not treated well because his mother was born lowly? "
Prince Jin couldn't help but roar out these thoughts in his mind. His hands pressed against the ground as tears streamed down his face. The emperor looked at him coldly, his gaze swaying for a moment before returning to his calm state. "Third brother, Zhen's birth is similarly not high. It's precisely because I know about this kind of suffering that I've doted on you and your mother for all these years. If you take your background to be an example, do you have my permission to ask you about it?! "
Was it because your mufei didn't have a high birth, and was bullied by a servant in the harem? Your royal brother was taunting you, but I will punish anyone who knows. You can only see that others have treated you poorly, but you can't remember the kindness others have shown you. "
"Father, this son will always remember your kindness to him."
"You may leave, I don't want to see you again."
Prince Jin held onto his fist tightly, his chest heaved as he said, "Royal father, your son is unwilling to accept this. If you want to circle me, this son shall accept you. However, I hope that royal father can explain the reason to this son so that this son can die. "
The emperor picked up a paper roll and threw it in front of Prince Jin, "Take a look for yourself."
Prince Jin picked up the imperial report and quickly skimmed through it. After reading it, his face turned even more pale, "Imperial Father, this son doesn't know why the beggars hid the silver on their bodies, nor did I instruct them to smuggle the tax into the capital. Someone was deliberately framing them.
"Those people have already confessed. They said that they were ordered by you. I have also sent people to investigate and found out that your two uncles and the mansion's aides are in contact with them." How is that possible? " Prince Jin quickly shook his head. He didn't hand over the salt tax to the officials, but sent it directly to the capital through banknotes. No one would come to the capital to beg for money. It was obvious that someone was deliberately framing them. 'Could it be that the person who came to ridicule me, Prince Jin, has suddenly raised his head? '
"Father, your son knows, all this was arranged by Big Brother. After so many years of fighting, he had long since disliked me and held a grudge against me. Taking advantage of this time when I wasn't in the capital, he used the Li family and my two uncles to fabricate evidence to frame me."
"Framing?" The emperor sneered. These matters had already been verified by the Shadow Squad, yet Prince Jin still refused to admit to it. "Fine, if you say you've framed someone, do you have any evidence?"
Prince Jin pondered quickly, "Imperial Father, the taxes and taxes are extremely important and the amount of money is huge. For the Lee family to raise such a large amount of money, there must be a flaw. As long as we send someone to investigate the Lee family, we can find some clues."
"Third Bro, the silver taels that were found are not just tens or hundreds of thousands, but a full two million. Do you think the Li Clan has the ability to bring out so many silver taels to frame you in such a short period of time?"
He could not reveal the truth of the matter, because the salt tax banknotes had already disappeared. If he were to say it out loud, his father would think that he was trying to quibble about it, and might even let the King and Li family find a chance to bite back. What should he do? What the hell was he supposed to do?
