The father and son stared at each other.
Then,
Qin Zhi was still blinking his innocent eyes. He looked at Qin Shubao and said in a childish voice," Dad, you're more familiar with those dukes. Do you have any good way for me to get the money back?"!”
Qin Shubao was silent.
After a while,
"There is indeed a way."”
Qin Zhi's eyes lit up and he quickly said in a childish voice,"Please enlighten me, father."”
"How about this…"
Qin Shubao ignored Qin Zhi first. Instead, he looked at the butler and instructed," Fu An, pack up my things and call a carriage. We'll leave tonight…"
And then,
Qin Shubao looked at Qin Zhi and said faintly," My father's idea is to leave Chang 'an first. If you're still alive by then, I'll come back half a year later…"
" Father is afraid. Father can't afford to offend him…"
Qin Zhi: "???"
艹!
What the hell was that?
Are you planning to abandon your proud youngest son and run away alone?
Qin Zhi's big eyes instantly became gloomy.
Forget it.
He couldn't count on Qin Shubao anymore, because what Qin Shubao said was actually right…
This matter was not easy to handle!
Most of the money that the High Dukes owed the Imperial Court was not meant to be repaid!
After all, who would want to spit it out after eating it?!
And it was so much money!
How was this asking for debts? This was asking for his life. This was asking for a shakedown!
However…
In order to become the Chief Imperial Censor and be on the same level as Wei Zheng!
This matter had to be done!
Qin Zhi pondered over it himself, his short hand stroking his chin…
"This is a tricky matter. I have to make more preparations…" he muttered.
"I'm afraid a few moves won't work. I have to prepare for dozens of moves…"
Beside him,
Qin Shubao looked at his youngest son's expression and shivered inexplicably.
He did not know who his son was going to trick again!
……
At the same time.
Just as Qin Zhi was thinking about how to get the Duke to send the money back.
In the Imperial Palace.
The news that Li Shiming had arranged for Qin Zhi to recover the national accounts had also spread.
In an instant,
The few High Dukes exploded and began to curse!
Cheng Yaojin cursed and roared,"Pay?"! Where did the money come from!"
"I don't have money!"
"Even if you want to hand it over, you can ask His Majesty to ask me personally. Who does a little brat like Qin Zhi think he is? Is he worthy of asking me for money?!”
"No!"
"I don't have money, but I have my life!”
Yuchi Gong directly pulled down his clothes, revealing the scars all over his body.
"Come and take a look. Are these scars on my body worth the money?" he shouted with a ferocious face.!”
"You still want money?"
"This old man has shed many tears for the Great Tang! Isn't it right to take this money?!"
"This old man got the money with his own ability, why should I return it!”
Fang Xuanling was also sighing in his study, his expression displeased.
"Is there a need?"
"Didn't I just book a few brothels? Do I still have to take back this little money?!”
"I'm already so old. Can't I enjoy it a little?!”
"This little Qin Zhi dares to ask me for money?!”
Zhangsun Wuji, Li Jing, and the others were also cursing…
One by one, everyone knew the news!
This news came from the palace, and the person who came out…
It was very likely to be Li Shi Min!
He probably just wanted to let all the High Dukes and civil and military officials be mentally prepared!
Because…
Li Shi Min was going to purge his officials!
Asking the High Dukes to pay was just the beginning. Li Shiming's original intention was…
It was to make all the officials spit out all the money they had earned from corruption!
However, someone had to set an example!
The few High Dukes didn't even spit out the money, so why should the others pay?!
And after receiving the payment from the state dukes…
Then, the other officials would have to hand it over as well. If they still didn't hand it over by then…
Haha!
Then, Li Shiming would not show any mercy when he made his move!
So,
The matter of getting the dukes to pay was the first step, so it fell on Little Qin Zhi.
And this step…
However, it was not that simple. The other officials were also very curious. This little Qin Zhi…
How could he make those dukes pay?!
……
The next day, morning court.
When all the officials arrived, Qin Zhi dragged his big clothes and slowly arrived.
Upon seeing him, many people had unfriendly expressions!
Even Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Li Jing, and the other High Dukes became hostile!
However, Qin Zhi acted as if nothing had happened. He ran over and greeted them." Uncle Cheng, Uncle Li, Uncle Yuchi, Uncle Zhangsun…Good morning!"”
"Humph!"
Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly. You still have the face to greet me?!
"Little Qin Zhi, I heard that you've accepted His Majesty's mission and want to ask us for money?" He was furious and gritted his teeth.!”
The eyes of the few High Dukes beside him were filled with killing intent.
He looked as if he would pick Qin Zhi up and beat his butt up if he did not agree!
Qin Zhi blinked his big innocent eyes and said righteously in a childish voice,"How is that possible?!"!”
"Rumors! Nonsense!"
"My uncles have a good relationship with my father. They're all my relatives!”
"How could I do such a thing!？”
As soon as he said this.
Cheng Yaojin and the others looked at each other in confusion.
Was that so?
In Qin Zhi's eyes, were the few High Dukes his relatives?!
Hmm…
This brat still had some conscience.
