Chapter 779 Dowry 2(2/3)
There is one thing that really has nothing to do with your father, and that is that his order to repair the imperial mausoleum was indeed based on the order of Mr. Li.
In order to prevent his brother from succeeding in his northern expedition, Mr. Li achieved great success and surpassed his master.
They used the excuse of repairing the imperial mausoleum to cover up the fact that the Northern Expedition army was struggling to provide food and grass.
However, Mr. Li asked your father to supervise the renovation of the imperial mausoleum, but he did not let him unite with the important officials in the court to embezzle the money and food for the renovation of the imperial mausoleum!
Girl, do you know how much money your father embezzled when he was the Minister of Household Affairs?"
"Ah? My sister...my sister doesn't know, I really don't know."
Young Master Liu looked at Ren Qingxin's stunned expression and took a long puff of dry cigarette.
"Brother Wei, let me tell you that during the short period of more than half a year during your father's reign, he alone embezzled about 1.47 million taels of silver.
In more than half a year, about 1.47 million taels of silver!
And where did the more than one million dollars he embezzled come from?
On the surface, he embezzled money from the imperial treasury to repair the imperial mausoleum.
The fact is that he united with a group of important ministers in the government who were also corrupt and perverted the law, and deducted the wages of the craftsmen who repaired the imperial tomb, as well as tens of thousands of civilians, and embezzled so much money.
Of course, the more than one million taels of silver were not all the money he embezzled by embezzling the money owed for repairing the imperial mausoleum.
Among them was the amount of money he received from gifts and bribes after he became the head of the previous dynasty, totaling more than one million taels of silver.
Girl, although you are not in the court, you know something about the situation in the court at that time.
At that time, when the world was unified, the three kingdoms of Dalong, Jin, and Turks were at war with each other for many years.
It can be said that my dragon fights every year.
Although the life of the common people cannot be said to be extremely difficult, it is still quite difficult.
In such a situation that concerns the country, the country, and the country, your father was actually able to embezzle tens of thousands of people..."
Liu Mingzhi stopped talking, then bent down and knocked out the shredded tobacco from the smoking pot on the rocks at his feet.
"Girl, you should understand now why, as a brother, I said that your father is not a good person."
Ren Qingxin nodded bitterly with her pretty face, took the wine bag in Young Master Liu's hand and took a few swigs.
"Da Guoguo, right... I'm sorry.
My sister apologized to you for what my old man did back then."
Liu Mingzhi pinned the rolled up cigarette bag to his waist, raised his hand and gently embraced the beautiful lady with an apologetic face into his arms.
Patting Ren Qingxin's back gently, Young Master Liu sniffed the fragrant fragrance exuding from her black hair and sighed with an expression on her face.
"Girl, you are saying this for my brother and me today, and you have no other meaning.
I didn't deliberately criticize your father, nor did I want to ridicule him in front of you.
Brother Wei is telling you this just to make you understand.
There has never been any so-called personal grudge between me and your father.
The reason why I don't like your father is because I don't like his moral character.
However, as a brother, I have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges.
One is one, two is two.
I won't be dissatisfied with you, girl, because of your father's personal reasons.
Your father is your father, girl, you are you.
You two cannot be confused.
Girl, you should be clear about this.
Otherwise, as a brother, I will not let you live in my house for many years.
Therefore, the purpose of Brother Wei telling you this is to make you understand one thing.
That is, you don’t need to worry about what your father thinks."
Ren Qingxin leaned on Liu Mingzhi's shoulder and nodded gently.
"Daguoguo, my sister knows all the things you said.
But I... I still can't help but worry, worried that you will have a bad opinion of me, my sister, because of my old man."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beauty's sullen pretty face, put his hands on the beauty's shoulders and shook them vigorously a few times.
"Girl, I just told you that you don't have to worry about your father.
As you just said, some things need not be mentioned again now that they have passed.
Mentioning it again has almost no meaning other than making people feel more emotional."
Ren Qingxin was silent for a moment, looking nervously at Young Master Liu.
"Da Guoguo, do you really think so?"
"Why, are you suspecting that my brother will lie to you again?"
Ren Qingxin's pretty face panicked and she shook her head hurriedly.
"No, no, sister, that's not what I meant!
"Girl, brother, I understand.
Let’s not talk about these unhappy topics and let’s continue collecting medicine.”
Hearing Young Master Liu's words, Ren Qingxin suddenly reacted.
Indeed, there is really no need to delve into this kind of issue between yourself and your sweetheart.
As long as there are no problems with the relationship between you and your sweetheart, nothing else matters.
Ren Qingxin nodded her head vigorously and handed the wine bag in front of Young Master Liu with a smile.
"Da Guoguo, turn around and go over."
"Well, what to do?"
"Oh, if I ask you to turn around, just turn around."
Liu Mingzhi saw the coquettish expression on the beauty's pretty face and nodded with a wry smile.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is. Why don't you just turn around for my brother?"
Young Master Liu had just turned around when Ren Qingxin put her hands on his shoulders and jumped up.
"Da Guoguo, I'm tired, please carry me on your back."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beautiful lady with a happy and pretty face, and casually hugged her slender jade legs sandwiched around his waist.
"Girl, you asked Brother Wei to turn around just to carry you?"
"Well, you can't do it?
In my memory, my sister, Daguoguo carried Sister Yun, Sister Ya, Sister Lianer, Sister Qingshi... all of them.
Even Yiyi, Yue'er, Yaoyao, Lingyun and other sisters, you have memorized too much.
Only I haven’t carried my sister on my back yet!
My sister is now half your mother-in-law, so what can I do if you carry her on your back?"
Liu Mingzhi sighed and nodded, holding the beauty's slender legs and looking at her knees slightly.
"That's right, it's time to carry you.
Come on, lift up the medicine basket."
The beauty raised her brows, and her bright bright eyes turned into crescent moons.
Reaching out to lift the medicine basket on the ground, she raised her hand and patted her sweetheart on the shoulder.
"drive."
"Stinky girl, show me the way."
"Go forward, my sister will tell you when you get there."
