Chapter 432: Former Dynasty Objects

 He ​​is a dignified prince, and he is controlled by the courtiers to this extent. No matter how much favor he received in the past, he will have as many complaints as he does now, and there will naturally be as much disgust in the future.

 The eternal truth.

“Fourth brother, please don’t be angry. When the power is in hand, everyone will have to bow their heads and obey. Then there will be no worries.”

The seventh prince's words touched the fourth prince's heart. Seeing this, he was too lazy to continue the topic. After chatting with the seventh prince for a while, he sent him away.

Then I stood outside the window and took a look. It was still calm, so I didn’t pay any more attention.

 At night, the moon rises above the treetops.

It is a sweet time for everyone to sleep.

A rapid knock on the door woke up the fourth prince. He was already sleeping soundly in Dongye, so after being woken up like this, the fourth prince's temper immediately rose.

He opened the door with a gloomy expression and then said.

 “You’d better say what’s important, or I’ll kill you!”

The person who came to report was also covered in cold sweat, and looked even more miserable in the winter night, but what needs to be said needs to be said.

“Going back to the fourth prince, my subordinates found some inappropriate things in the boat that went north from the seventh house of the Gu family. I would like to ask your highness to take a look.”

 “Something inappropriate, what is something inappropriate?”

Improper things have no attraction at all to the fourth prince. On the contrary, when the words "Gu Family Seventh Bedroom" fall into his ears, it feels like a lamb has been delivered to his door.

 So, even if that thing is nothing today, he still wants to make a fuss and let Gu Shaoyu and the people in the East Palace know what he is capable of.

 “The subordinates look like they belong to the previous dynasty.”

　　If this charge of belonging to the previous dynasty is fulfilled, then the seventh house of the Gu family will be a disaster for the nine clans. The fourth prince became excited at the thought of implicating Gu Shaoyu.

So he got up, dressed and followed the man.

"Walk!"

The wind is stronger at night, and the lights on the pier are brightly lit at this moment.

 Ship transportation and river transportation are different on land. They can stop and rest at any time, so there are people who dock during the day, and naturally there are also people who dock at night, so the docks never stop.

　　Including the houses not far away, there are many coolies squatting waiting for their bags. At this moment, they are also stretching their heads here to see the excitement.

The cold wind blew bitingly on Gu Yanli's body. His kneecaps, which he was forced to kneel on, were painful and stiff. He wanted to stand up and argue, but he was pressed to the ground and unable to move.

It was smooth sailing all the way. I thought that after arriving at the dock, he would be able to land and have a good rest, but who knew he would meet someone who wanted to check it out.

 There were always inspections, so he didn't take it to heart. After asking someone around him to send a heavy bag, he thought he could leave.

As a result, the opponent was greeting him with a smile one moment, but the next moment he was like a ghost who came to cross people and took him down indiscriminately.

If he were in Jinling City, he would have roared and cursed a few times, but this was Sui'an City, so he could only endure this tone and figure things out first before changing things around.

"Gentlemen, please be careful. Is there some misunderstanding? I am the cousin of General Gu Shaoyu. It seems that I was once a member of the imperial merchants, and the ship is only filled with fabrics, nothing much."

He first revealed his identity, and then explained what the thing was. It seemed that he wanted to use Gu Shaoyu's name to scare these brats. As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person walking out of the dark night, quite mockingly. said. "General Gu's cousin? Oh, it turns out he is from the Gu family in Jinling."

 Gu Yanli relied on his reputation as an imperial merchant and had done some business in Sui'an City, so even if he didn't recognize the fourth prince's face, he could tell he was a relative of the emperor just by looking at his clothes.

 So, I swallowed my saliva, ignored the pain in my knee, and spoke immediately.

“Yes, yes, yes, I said there may be a misunderstanding. I wonder if this noble man knows my nephew?”

"Hmph, even the children on the street know the reputation of the Gu family who died in battle, not to mention this prince. You are used to bringing relatives and nephews together. Do you think that if General Gu is here? Standing here, will you recognize your kin?"

The fourth prince's words made Gu Yanli unable to reply.

If Gu Shaoyu were here, I'm afraid he really wouldn't care about these cousins.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the fourth prince glanced at him, and the subordinate immediately went to get something.

 “What was found? Let me, the prince, take a look!”

There was a lot of excitement in the fourth prince's tone. Everyone could see how happy he was at the moment, and the subordinate quickly took something and walked to him, and then said.

“Your Highness, this is it.”

The man unfolded a box of fabrics, which contained all the things that Gu Yanli was going to deliver this time to the north. The subordinate pulled a piece out and handed it to the fourth prince.

When the fourth prince saw it, his expression suddenly changed.

“Isn’t this the moon-colored embroidery with ten thousand-character dragon patterns the favorite thing of the former Emperor Renzhao? It was burned to the ground when I was a child, so why is it here?!”

 His words made Gu Yanli turn pale instantly.

Emperor Renzhao’s stuff?

How could it be mixed in the cloth he was escorting? Not to mention the ten-thousand-character dragon embroidery pattern, it was the color of the moon because it was once the favorite color of Emperor Renzhao. Now no dyeing house on the market dares to make this thing.

How could he bring such a thing with him even though he knew he was going north?

 At first glance, it’s like you’ve been framed!

 Then he shouted loudly.

"It's unjust, it's unjust! The villain is really unjust. This kind of thing seems to have been framed by thieves. Your Highness, please investigate clearly!"

The fourth prince had caught a huge advantage at this moment, how could he let it go, so he immediately gave the order.

“Quickly, put this man in prison and keep a close eye on him. Then bring me all the things on the boat and check them bit by bit to see if there is anything else?!”

"yes."

Gu Yanli was dragged away like a sack. When he left, he shouted that he was wronged. However, not long after others left, some patterns found in the cloth were found in the previous dynasty. Complex and ornate.

The founding of the Daxing Dynasty was short-lived, and the founding emperor had an explicit order not to waste one's life or money in making such complicated things, so the patterns of Daxing's clothing were not complicated, and the more fancy ones were probably Bingdilian.

 But the exquisiteness of the things in front of you makes people dazzled just by looking at them.

It's just a trick, it's not complicated to say, but once it is linked to the previous dynasty, it is a heinous evidence of crime.

I only had time to update 2 chapters early this morning. If I finish the work at noon, I will come back immediately to complete this chapter. If it is too late, I will update it for you later. Sorry! !
