After a while, Emperor Li Er, who had changed into his usual clothes, arrived at the Wannian County government office with Dai Zhou.
He was shocked as soon as he got off the carriage!
At this moment, outside the county government, there were countless commoners crowded inside and outside. There were roughly more than a thousand people.
All of them had heard about the treasure and had specially come to watch.
Seeing this scene, Second Emperor Li's curiosity grew even stronger.
"Your Majesty, there are many people here. We should go in quietly.”Dai Zhou said worriedly.
He was a little frightened now. He had been a little careless!
There were actually so many people gathered outside the county office!
If someone were to harm His Majesty, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters?
"Let's go." Li Er nodded.
The two of them entered from the side door and arrived at the back hall of the county government.
After entering, Second Emperor Li walked straight to the hall of the yamen.
Dai Zhou hurriedly stopped him." Your Majesty, it's best if you don't show yourself yet. Allow me to examine the treasure first."”
"Could it be that you think that someone among the commoners wants to harm me?”Second Emperor Li said unhappily.
"I don't dare. It's just that this treasure is too bizarre, so it's better to be careful.”
Dai Zhou arched his body, his forehead sweating slightly.
His Majesty Li Er's power had been getting stronger and stronger recently. The slightest sullen expression made him feel as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
As they were talking, a series of exclamations suddenly came from the county government in front of them!
The two of them looked over and saw that the person was displaying the wonders of the treasure.
The man placed the object in his hand under the sun, and then a magical scene happened.
Sunlight shone through the object and instantly turned into seven-colored clouds that shone on the ground!
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, there were many colors!
When Second Emperor Li saw this spectacle, he was shocked!
Was there really such a divine item in this world?
Looking at his hand from afar, after a while,
For some reason, Second Emperor Li suddenly felt that something was wrong!
The object wasn't big and was completely transparent. It looked like it was made of glass.
"Go and ask that person where he got this item.”Second Emperor Li turned around and instructed Dai Zhou.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dai Zhou said and hurried out.
His sudden appearance made the county magistrate of Wannian County jump up in shock. He hurriedly ordered,
"Men, quickly show Minister Dai a seat!”
"No need." Dai Zhou waved his hand.
Then, he immediately said to the person who presented the treasure," Bring this item up for me to see!”
That person was stunned at first, then shook his head violently." No, this treasure can prosper the country's fate. No one can take it. It can only be handed over to the current Emperor personally."”
"If you want to see it, I'll show it to you.”
After saying that, he placed the object under the sun again, and the strange scene from before appeared again.
Dai Zhou carefully observed it. There did not seem to be anything unusual about this treasure.
That person had been holding it in his hand the entire time, and there were no signs of it being poisoned.
The worry in his heart lessened a lot. He asked again," Who are you? Where did you get this?”
" I'm a silk merchant in Shu," the man stammered." I bought this treasure too. It's a family heirloom of a poor family.”
"Since this treasure can bring prosperity to the country, why is that person's family in decline?”Dai Zhou frowned and asked.
"Official, you may not know this, but after I learned about this item, I went to Mount Emei to ask the Taoist priest who cultivates.”
"They said that only people with extremely noble destinies can hold this treasure. Otherwise, not only will there be no benefits, but they will also be suppressed by this treasure.”
"So I thought, who else in this world can be as noble as the current Emperor?”The more that person spoke, the smoother he became.
When Second Emperor Li heard this, the feeling that something was wrong in his heart grew stronger!
He felt that this scene was somewhat familiar!
He carefully sized up the person and discovered a detail.
As the person who presented the treasure spoke, his right calf trembled uncontrollably!
Seeing this, Second Emperor Li suddenly had a bad feeling!
The man continued," I decided then that this treasure must be presented to the current Emperor!”
"If it can bring prosperity to the Great Tang, then the grace I have received as a citizen of the Great Tang over the years will not be in vain!”
"For this, I sold all the property my ancestors had accumulated and used up all my wealth!”
"It wasn't easy for me to gather a few million taels of silver before I bought this item!”
"As long as Your Majesty can obtain this treasure and allow the Great Tang to prosper, my family will have no regrets even if they starve to death!”
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding commoners who were watching the show gasped in unison!
Then, discussions broke out everywhere. The Wannian County government instantly exploded!
A few million strings!
This number was definitely an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people!
The wealth that many people had seen in their entire lives was less than one percent!
This person actually has the courage to give up his vast fortune just to increase the Great Tang's fortune?
The county office was instantly filled with cheers!
The commoners looked at that person with respect!
This person was truly sincere!!
They could not do such a thing!
However, after he finished his last sentence, Second Emperor Li, who was in the back hall, was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning!
As soon as he finished speaking, Second Emperor Li instantly understood what was going on!
No wonder this excuse sounded so familiar!!
Wasn't this what Li Yun had taught him before?!
With the addition of the glass treasure, the truth instantly surfaced!
This person was definitely sent by Li Yun to trick him!!
Although he didn't know how Li Yun managed to make this item emit a seven-colored glow, Second Emperor Li was certain that this item was definitely his!
Instantly, Second Emperor Li felt a little dizzy!
He had never expected this!
This little bastard actually came to trick him again!!
After carefully sizing up the crowd, Second Emperor Li quickly found many familiar faces among them!
There were about a dozen people, and they had all seen them in Lantian County!
When they were cheering, it was this group of people who were leading the way!
After figuring everything out, the muscles on Li Er's face began to twitch uncontrollably!
This little bastard was not a human!
It was simply impossible to guard against!
A few days ago, Li Yun's road had already started construction.
Truckloads of gold and copper coins were transported out of Chang 'an.
For this reason, he specially instructed the various states and counties in the south to pay attention to this matter so that it would be convenient for Li Yun to act.
Therefore, he knew Li Yun's spending like the back of his hand!
In less than ten days, Li Yun's money was almost spent!
When Second Emperor Li first found out about this, he even gloated!
He had never expected this!
The next moment, that kid had tricked him!!
Second Emperor Li felt his anger attack his heart. His vision turned black and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
This move of his was too ruthless!
Now that he thought about it, these onlookers were definitely instigated by him!
He displayed the magic of the treasure in front of the people, coupled with his impassioned speech of sacrificing for the country.
He believed that in less than half a day, this matter would become an interesting news that spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang 'an!
If he found a trooper to secretly present the treasure, then so be it!
Since Second Emperor Li already knew the truth of the matter, he naturally would not fall for his trick.
Just give him a few hundred taels of gold!
But now, the entire city knew about this!!
If he just gave a random reward, wouldn't the people talk about it?
He had poured out all his wealth for the Great Tang, yet the Emperor had only given him a few hundred taels of gold!
Wouldn't the commoners be disappointed?
Second Emperor Li instantly felt a splitting headache and was in a dilemma!
At this moment, the voice of the person in the county office came over again.
"Is His Majesty here?"
"I want to personally hand this treasure to Your Majesty!”
"I don't want any reward. I only want Your Majesty to accept my sincere heart for the Great Tang!”
After he finished speaking, the surrounding commoners cheered loudly!
The few Li Village villagers mixed in began to lead the rhythm.
"The men of Shu are indeed heroic. But don't worry, the current Emperor loves his people the most. He will definitely reward you!”
"That's right. His Majesty is extremely wise and will definitely not let his people suffer. Don't worry!”
"In my opinion, not only will His Majesty compensate you, but he will also double it!”
Under their jeering, the other commoners also echoed!
When Second Emperor Li saw this scene, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground!
Not only would he compensate her, but he would also double the amount?
This was like roasting him over a fire!
Worried that he might die suddenly if he continued to listen, Second Emperor Li did not dare to stay here any longer. He called for Dai Zhou and instructed,
"Tell that person that His Majesty is busy with government affairs and is not free for the time being. Tell him to come back another day!”
"Your Majesty, this person is very righteous, and that treasure is real. Why don't we accept it?”Dai Zhou was puzzled.
He had just heard that person's words and was extremely touched. He was thinking about how His Majesty would reward him!
"I can't explain it to you clearly, just do as you're told!”Second Emperor Li said weakly,
"I'll go first. I'll leave this place to you!”
After saying that, he left the confused Dai Zhou behind and fled from the Wannian County Office.
......
An hour later, in the royal study.
Second Emperor Li summoned Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng to discuss countermeasures.
He recounted everything that had happened.
Second Emperor Li rubbed his temples and said with a headache,
"Tell me, how should we deal with this matter?”
After he finished speaking, the three of them were all dumbfounded!
Especially Wei Zheng, he was so shocked that he could not close his mouth!
He had only met Li Yun once, and he had never experienced the matter of scamming the emperor!
To him, this matter had completely destroyed his worldview!
After a while, Wei Zheng's lips trembled as he said,
"Your Majesty, could there be a mistake?"
"Is this really the work of an expert?”
After he finished speaking, Second Emperor Li, Fang, and Du looked at him in unison.
They nodded in unison!
