"Sir, what do you mean?"
After regaining his senses, Li Daozong looked at Liu Bang in confusion.
Li Chengxun sighed." Prince Ren, let me tell you a story first. There was once a man called Zhang San. His wife had an affair.
Then, someone gave him a green hat.
She also told him that if he wanted to live a good life, he had to be a little green above his head. She mocked him in this way.”
Li Daozong's expression darkened." What do you mean, Your Highness?!"”
Qin Shihuang shook his head and sighed.""There's not much meaning. The First Prince is just mocking you.”
Li Daozong was speechless.
Liu Bang added," City Lord Ren, there's another sentence that is also used to mock other people's wives for having an affair. That is, love is a ray of light. You're so scared that you're panicking. I'll give you this sentence today."”
“……”
Li Daozong's expression darkened once again and he said angrily,"What nonsense are you talking about! If you say one more word, believe it or not, I'll give you all a discount."
"You won't cry until you see the coffin.”
Li Chengxun sighed slightly.
Qin Shi Huang also sighed." When encountering such a thing, even if you see a coffin, you can't cry. If it were anyone else, they could only break their teeth and swallow it.”
Liu Bang was speechless.
Brother Zheng, if you know how to talk, say more!
“……”
Li Daozong clenched his fists tightly. He decided that if Li Chengxun said another word, he would hit him regardless of the consequences.
Li Chengxun didn't ridicule him much. Instead, he took out a handkerchief."You should recognize the handwriting on this, right?”
When Li Daozong saw the handkerchief, his expression changed.
He quickly snatched the handkerchief and opened it. It was filled with a woman's words of love to a man.
He couldn't recognize the handwriting on it.
However, he knew very well who this handkerchief belonged to. He had personally given it to one of his concubines!
"Brother, be optimistic."
Qin Shihuang consoled him sympathetically.
Li Daozong was speechless.
" Brother," Liu Bang said," if you can't take it anymore, you should change your clothes to green. That way, your green hat won't be too eye-catching."”
“……”
Li Daozong tried his best to suppress his anger. He looked at Li Chengxun pleadingly and asked,"Your Highness, who is this man?”
"At this time, we must first talk about the conditions." Li Chengxun said unhurriedly.”
"I promise you, my inner sect has already prepared eight thousand strings, you can take them all.”
Li Daozong took the initiative to return the favor.
As for the 8,000 strings outside, it was Li Yin's anyway. He could just design it himself and scam Li Yin.
"That's the money of the King of Liang, what does it have to do with you?”
Li Chengxun could not help but frown.
"You, you know?"
Li Daozong was shocked.
One had to know that he had secretly colluded with Li Yin to make false donations, but he had never told a third person.
"It was the First Prince who planned for Li Yin to bring those 8,000 strings to you. How could the First Prince not know?”
Liu Bang chuckled and told the truth.
Li Daozong's heart instantly turned cold.
It was actually like this!
Although the First Prince was young, he had such deep thoughts!
"Just say it. How much money do you want to donate to buy information about this man?”
Li Chengxun didn't want to beat around the bush and continued,""Oh right, let me remind you. All these years, I already know some of the things that your brother and Zhangsun Shunde have done. Zhangsun Shunde embezzled at least 70,000 to 80,000 strings, right?
Today, I'll give you a chance to make a donation to atone for your sins.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daozong's heart was instantly stirred up by a storm.
He had never thought that the First Prince would know so much about Zhangsun Shunde's corruption.
Zhangsun Shunde was Zhangsun Wuji's uncle. He had indeed been greedy over the years.
The reason why Li Daozong knew so much was not because he had colluded with Zhangsun Shunde.
It was his younger brother who had been greedy for a lot of money together with Zhangsun Shunde.
His younger brother was afraid that something would happen, so he put a lot of money with him and gave him a lot of benefits.
This sort of thing was done in absolute secrecy, yet the First Prince actually knew about it.
And he even knew the amount so clearly!
This kind of prince was too terrifying!
This kind of prince had the support of the aristocrats and the reputation of the people. In the future, he might be able to suppress the legitimate son and seize the position of Crown Prince.
It seemed that his understanding of the First Prince was still too little. He had underestimated this person.
Fortunately, he didn't have the time to follow Li Yin's instructions and humiliate the First Prince…
Li Daozong's emotions were extremely complicated, and he was secretly rejoicing.
After thinking about it, he decided to take the opportunity to spit out all the money his brother had stolen to avoid a disaster in the future.
"Your Highness, I'll take out another 23,000 strings to donate to the disaster area.”
"Sure."
Li Chengxun smiled in satisfaction.
This time, they had caught a fat sheep.
In Zhenguan of the Great Tang, corrupt officials were relatively rare. Those who earned a little bit were not considered corrupt officials.
Greed like Zhangsun Shunde and Li Daozong's younger brother could be said to be extremely rare existences.
"Then, Your Highness, who is this man?”
After regaining his senses, Li Daozong raised the handkerchief again.
"Cheng Chusi."
Li Chengxun decisively sold Cheng Yaojin's son.
He believed that Li Daozong would never openly go and find trouble. After all, this kind of thing was too embarrassing.
"Your Highness, did you tell Cheng Yaojin about this?”
Li Daozong's expression darkened as he thought of something.
"Yes." Li Chengxun nodded slightly.”
"How did Cheng Yaojin react?"
Li Daozong asked again, hoping to hear that Cheng Yaojin had already crippled Cheng Chusi.
Li Chengxun carefully recalled Cheng Yaojin's psychological changes at that time. He did not know if he should tell Li Daozong the truth.
After all, it was too easy to stimulate people's nerves. He was afraid that Li Daozong would not be able to withstand it.
Qin Shihuang didn't think too much and said directly,""Old Cheng feels that this matter is quite exciting.”
