Chapter 16 Heavy Losses(1/2)
Seeing that King Su was about to speak, Jing Hedi coughed lightly, "Yan Xiu, actually I have punished these guys just now. Look at this group of people... Especially Liu Mingqi, Liu Mingjing and Liu Zhiyu, I have never spared them!"
As he said that, he also took the two princes to the place where the execution was executed, and let them see the bloody and tragic situation of the two princes.
King Su nodded slightly, "Your Majesty is still very abiding by the laws and regulations of the royal family this time, but this is not enough. I ask you to let me take them back and teach them well in the clan mansion so that they will never dare to do such a bad thing again!"
A group of kneeling royal family members cursed in their hearts, but their bodies trembled involuntarily.
The clan mansion is really not a place to stay, it is definitely more uncomfortable than being beaten every day!
King Li also said, "What King Su said is very much. My brother also feels that even if they do not reduce their titles, they will have to be renovated in the clan's mansion for a year or two."
Now it was Liu Mingqi's turn to scold her in her heart.
This old dog, I finally got the beginning of a happy life. Are you going to harm me like this?
If I had known this, I wouldn't have stopped me for a moment, so I would have just let Bagu step on Minghua's balls!
Jing Hedi smiled, "Actually, everyone is a relative, there is no need to be so stiff... I remember Minghua has always liked antique calligraphy and paintings, exquisite clothes, and this has happened. It would be no benefit to Minghua if you beat and scold these bastards.
It would be better to ask them to compensate Minghua more so that Minghua can get some compensation and live a happier life in the future, wouldn’t it be better?”
King Li frowned, "Your Majesty, I have always advocated the inheritance of books, and I don't care about these Adu things at all!"
"Five thousand taels of gold!" Emperor Jing He spoke directly.
"Can the country's laws and regulations be used to atone for sins?" King Li said angrily, "Your Majesty, are you too biased?"
"Ten thousand taels of gold!!" Jing Hedi did not answer him and increased his bid again.
King Li's mouth moved, trying to say something, but he didn't speak.
Emperor Jing He still knows his younger brothers very well.
The King of Li does not value money and likes to make friends with literati and poets, but it does not mean that he is not good at using money.
King Li has always been generous to those talented literati and poets, and often holds large-scale literati gatherings, which require a lot of money to support.
Even King Li "enjoys the prince's double salary", but with such a big deal, it still seems not enough.
So his family is still doing grain trading business. Li Wangfu is one of the top ten grain merchants in the Gyeonggi region. This is no secret.
Ten thousand taels of gold are not a small amount for any family, even the prince's family.
It is converted into silver, and it is already 100,000 taels.
If you get it outside to exchange, you can earn at least 130,000 taels of money.
The prince's double salary is only 20,000 taels of silver a year.
What's wrong with increasing the salary for more than six years in one breath?
Seeing that King Li didn't say anything, Emperor Jing He continued, "Yan Xiu, we should focus on education for the children of the royal family. Now I have beaten and punished them, why don't you give them a chance to correct me? If you commit another crime next time, I will let them go to the clan mansion to report without saying a word, and then let Yan Zun clean up them well!"
Before King Li could reply, King Su immediately disagreed. He held his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty, if you want them to escape this punishment, I firmly disagree! The clan mansion has its own rules. If everyone can be protected by you, then what is the need for the clan mansion to exist in the future?"
My little thoughts were exposed by my younger brother on the spot, and Jing and Di didn't realize it was a little embarrassed.
He could only ask with a dry smile: "Why do you mean?"
"My brother thinks that they were arrested for gambling yesterday. Today, they will take revenge on the person who reported the crimes and punish both crimes. They should strictly follow the rules of the Zongren Mansion." King Su said in a deep voice, "But since Liu Mingqi, Liu Mingjing, and Liu Zhiyu have been punished in the palace, the Zongren Mansion will not be punished physically... The remaining group of people still need to make up for the board."
"Prince Su, don't!"
"Uncle Fourth, you are kind to me, I will never dare to do it again!"
"Your Majesty, please hit me! I am willing to be punished by you!!"
A group of royal family members were panicked, making trouble, and the scene was in chaos.
Jing Hedi smiled unconsciously.
It turns out that these guys are more afraid of Yan Zun than afraid of me!
Hearing their noise, King Su suddenly turned his head and scolded sternly: "Shut up to me! If there are any noise, the punishment will be doubled!"
Otherwise, why do people still fear the King of Hell?
King Su yelled like this, and the scene suddenly became silent, and even the little eunuch next to him was a little scared.
"Then let's follow the words of King Su." Emperor Jinghe also understood that this matter could not be avoided, so he could only say: "But such things as confinement is still a bit too strict for these children, otherwise, shouldn't it be something else? It's better to educate them."
King Su frowned again, but finally bowed and said, "I understand."
If the emperor can tell him this, he will not give him face if he persists.
Besides, if you want to punish these bastards, the clan’s house has many methods to ensure that they are relaxed and happy.
On this side, Emperor Jinghe looked at King Li again, "Yan Xiu, if you give me a face to my brother, that's it? Ten thousand taels of gold will definitely hurt them!"
Seeing that King Su was still so stubborn, he insisted on punishing these bastards, King Li felt much more comfortable.
This is why he called King Su over.
Now that the purpose has been achieved, there are still 10,000 taels of gold to be recorded. With the emperor's face, King Li twisted for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, let's follow the emperor!"
"good!"
Emperor Jing He nodded with a smile, and then said to Zhao Shou: "First give me these people out of the palace, don't let them get annoyed here... King Su, wait a few days before their injuries heal, and then come to the clan mansion to report on how?"
"Abide by the order!"
King Su nodded and agreed.
Poor Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing could have cleaned their wounds in the palace and applied golden sore medicine, but because of such an accident, they were directly carried out and placed in a Qianniuwei official residence.
"You can go back by yourself, just go back." Zhao Shou said to them, "As for Prince Yu and Prince Yi, you can wait and get some medicine first and then leave. Our family has already asked the people from the two of us to pick them up."
"Eunuch Zhao, please be busy with yours!" Liu Mingqi said weakly, "Don't worry, I am not lucky today, I don't blame you for hitting hard."
Zhao Shou's eyelids were thrusting, and he wanted to explain a few words, but so many people were present, he couldn't show weakness, so he smiled, bowed and turned away.
In the blink of an eye, only one of them was left in the room, and four other little eunuchs were busy cleaning the medicine for the two princes.
In the pain, Liu Mingqi kept screaming.
Liu Mingjing's skin is thick, and it hurts, but he won't scream so embarrassingly.
Looking at the miserable appearance of the two, the children of the royal family were both moved and worried about their future destiny.
The board of the clan mansion is really heavy!
But now there is another more important thing.
A chubby man whispered: "Ten thousand taels of gold...what should we do? Where do we have that much money?"
"If I say it, my dad will beat me to death..." a thin man said in fear.
"Wuwuwu...I am my daughter, my father can't give me much!" A royal family girl was also panicked.
There are less than twenty people here, and if they spread them out, each of them will be about five hundred taels of gold.
If they were all children of the prince, this money would be nothing, and the family could still give it.
But the problem is that, except for Liu Mingqi and the others, there were two or three princes, and the rest of the family were basically dukes.
The duke's family had "annual salary of 2,500 taels of silver and 2,500 hu of rice". Even if the rewards were added during festivals, it would only be 5,000 taels of silver a year.
If their family members want to pay 5,000 taels of silver, they will really hurt their bones.
"Okay, don't make trouble for you guys." Liu Mingqi closed her eyes and grinned: "As the saying goes, help people to the end and send Buddha to the West. Although you didn't have the loyalty before and didn't get beaten for me, I took you there in the end.
So I will pay 3,000 taels of gold myself, and then I will give Mingjing two,000 taels of gold, and I will help you all take on two,000 taels of gold together. You will solve the rest yourself... Are there any problems?"
The eyes of everyone suddenly lit up.
Liu Mingqi gave out eight thousand taels of gold, and the remaining one was two thousand taels.
The remaining dozen people, one person only needs to give more than one thousand taels of silver to pass.
Compared to the previous five thousand taels of silver, this amount suddenly seemed much gentler.
It’s not a big problem to make up some of your savings and let your parents make up some of them.
Liu Mingjing, who had not even been beaten, said quickly after hearing this: "Mingqi, you don't have to pay my fine."
"Mingjing, needless to say." Liu Mingqi still closed her eyes, "If you and the Bagu can stand up, I, Liu Mingqi, recognize you as my friend! You have been beaten because of me, so of course I should help you with these fines... Don't worry, my family has money, hasn't the emperor rewarded me with three thousand taels of gold?"
After hearing this, Liu Mingjing shut up and stopped talking.
He is the only son in the family, and the rest are all sisters. Of course, his parents dote on him very much.
But it is probably not easy for him to ask for one or two thousand taels of gold because of this. After all, his father Yiwang has always spent money on it and there is no spare food at home.
Bagu was even more grateful and opened his mouth and said, "Mingqi, Bagu, I'm convinced you! If you want to hit someone next time, Bagu will follow you!"
Hearing that Bagu was showing his loyalty here, another group of royal family members quickly flattered.
"Mingqi, you are really the contemporary Mengchangjun!"
"Criminal, I can only write one word for sutra to you!"
"Thank God, if we didn't have Mingqi's generousness, we really have to take off a layer of skin this time!"
Everyone was grateful and smiled again on their faces.
