The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 1173: The Trouble Caused by the Fan

Liu Jin's entire West Residence is just a big warehouse. Zhengde, Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, Liu Zhong and others were all dazzled by the sight.

In dozens of rooms, large wooden boxes were moved in each room, and the opening was full of silver. And in the several rooms in the backyard of the West Mansion, Emperor Zhengde and his party were almost blinded by the eyes of the dogs. The boxes in these rooms are all filled with gold...

In fact, what they didn't know was that there was a small room next to these houses filled with gold, which was originally filled with jewelry, calligraphy and paintings. However, after Marin reminded, Liu Jin transferred all those jewelry, calligraphy and paintings. Otherwise, it would be even more important to blind Zhengde and the others...

After visiting these rooms, Masanori was numb. I saw him muttering to himself:

"It is said that the emperor is rich in the world, why do I feel that I am a beggar compared to Lao Liu..."

Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, Liu Zhong and others all showed joy when they heard this. However, they did not say much. Because they are all familiar with Zhengde and know that they can't add fuel to the fire at this time, otherwise it will cause Zhengde's rebellious psychology. Bear boy, he likes to fight against people the most. The ministers and eunuchs all expressed their tiredness...

...

In fact, Liu Jin was also to blame. He has already prepared the ledger under Marin's reminder. It was originally planned that if Zhengde came to search, he would hand over the ledger to Zhengde, and then claim that Xizhai was raising money and food for the internal treasury, not his own. In this way, Liu Jin's corruption has become a search for money from his master. Although it is not very glorious, it is a great loyalty...

The terrible thing is that Liu Jin went to attend his cousin's funeral today, and forgot to give the account book to the housekeeper, Old Liu. Therefore, Zhengde didn't see Liu Jin's "loyalty", but he was so angry that a slave was much richer than his master. Is there any reason?

Although Zhengde is more tolerant towards the eunuchs, Liu Jin has so much money but doesn't know how to honor him, which makes Zhengde very dissatisfied...

Then, full of dissatisfaction, Zhengde followed the team back to the main house in the east and continued to search, looking for evidence of Liu Jin's "rebellion"...

...

Originally, Zhengde came here with the mentality of clearing Liu Jin of his crimes. However, after seeing the golden mountains and silver seas in Xi Zhai, Zhengde felt dissatisfied, and his mentality changed from "clear old Liu's charges" to "I want to find fault"...

In fact, Zhengde is jealous of Liu Jin's wealth...

You know, even the internal treasury in the palace usually only has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, rarely more than one million taels. Liu Jin is good at making money, but he filled Zhengde's internal treasury to 2 million taels of silver.

Before that, Zhengde was still complacent, thinking that he was rich. Unexpectedly, when he went to Liu Jin's mansion, he realized that he only got a small change as Zhang Yong said. And the big head was naturally swallowed by the greedy Liu Jin...

The emperor's private money is actually not as good as a eunuch's fraction... This is no longer a question of money, but a question of face...

Therefore, when searching Liu Jin's main house, Zhengde kept his face dark all the time, with an expression of "I'm in a bad mood, I'm very unhappy"...

However, at this time Liu Jin went to bury his brother outside the city, and couldn't come back to make Zhengde happy...

Then, something went wrong...

...

Apart from the warehouse, the most important thing in Liu Jin's house is probably his bedroom.

Zhengde brought a group of people to Liu Jin's bedroom and began to search for evidence of "rebellion". But unfortunately, there is really no...

If Ma Lin didn't remind, the counterfeit jade seal and jade belt that Liu Jin got would definitely be found out. Then, Liu Jin was dead.

However, because of Marin's reminder, Liu Jin destroyed all the contraband. In the corner of the secret room next to his bedroom, there is a pile of jade powder, which is actually the fake jade seal and jade belt obtained by Liu Jin and smashed into powder...

But there was one thing that Liu Jin didn't destroy. This thing is inconspicuous, but it is deadly...

The Jinwu Guards were rummaging through boxes and cabinets, while Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and others were watching. And Zhengde, as the emperor,

Obviously you don't have to go off in person. So, he sat at the table in Liu Jin's bedroom, sipping tea while watching his subordinates rummaging through boxes...

"Hey, isn't this the fan that Lao Liu always keeps in his hand?" Zhengde, who was drinking tea, suddenly found the fan that Liu Jin usually used on the table.

It is hot in summer, and there is no air conditioner or electric fan these days. Therefore, people use fans to get rid of the heat. However, the emperor always asked the eunuchs to fan him. Liu Jin himself was a slave, so naturally he couldn't ask his subordinates to fan him everywhere he went. Especially in front of the master Zhengde. Therefore, Liu Jin usually carries a fan and solves problems by himself. Only when Zhengde is not around, can he put on the attitude of a big boss and let his subordinates fan him... Therefore, in front of Zhengde, Liu Jin usually carries a fan. It's okay to fan yourself, and fan Zhengde a few times when flattering...

But now it is the eighth month of the lunar calendar, summer has passed, and it is not so hot anymore. Therefore, Liu Jin no longer carries the fan with him. In addition, I have to arrange my brother's burial today, so I left the fan at home...

...

Emperor Zhengde picked up the fan curiously, but as soon as he got it, he felt that it was a bit heavy...

"How can a fan made of bamboo and wood be so heavy?" Zhengde frowned, and began to study the fan curiously...

This research is a big deal...

Because, the handle of this lupine is actually hollow. Emperor Zhengde took apart the handle and took out a sharp dagger from inside...

Zhang Yong was by Zhengde's side and happened to see this scene. So, he was overjoyed, pretending to be shocked and said:

"Your Majesty, Lao Liu actually hid a dagger in his fan...with a murder weapon in front of the king, this is trying to kill the king!"

Gu Dayong, Liu Zhong and others on the edge were excited when they saw it. Gu Dayong also echoed:

"Yes, yes, my lord, Lao Liu usually dangles this fan in front of you. Could it be that he has long planned to assassinate you?"

As for Liu Zhong, he didn't care about the truth or the fake at this time, and removing Liu Jin was the top priority at this time. So he also knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, facing the Lord with a murder weapon, even if you have no intention of treason, is still a capital offense!"

...

As usual, Zhengde might speak for Liu Jin. However, he was stimulated by Liu Jin's huge wealth just now in the warehouse. Therefore, Masanori is also a little restless at this time.

Thinking that Liu Jin usually dangled this fan with a hidden dagger in front of him, Zhengde was also a little afraid that if Liu Jin wanted to assassinate him, wouldn't he be easily tricked?

Thinking of this, Zhengde suddenly became angry. He was furious and said:

"Come here, bring Liu Jin to me!"

Hearing Zhengde's order, Zhang Yong immediately accepted the order with a smile on his face. Zhang Yongke was the chief eunuch who supervised the 12th Regiment Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, and he belonged to the eunuchs who had military power.

After receiving Zhengde's authorization, Zhang Yong immediately sent troops to the outside of the city to arrest Liu Jin, who was still presiding over his brother's funeral with a confused face...
