The Crybaby Prince is Reborn, Where is the Prince Going?

Chapter 142 The truth behind Jinyou becoming a eunuch

Some people were injured due to the stampede and crowding, and some were covered in blood after being hit by the guards' swords during the pushing and shoving.

The scene was chaotic for a while, but fortunately Xiao Mingcheng arrived in time, which made Jinyou secretly relieved.

Otherwise, he really didn't know how it would end.

Ultimately, the plan was too hasty and had flaws, which led to it becoming so out of control in the end.

Jinyou reflected that he was still a little arrogant...

When Xiao Yunzhen saw Xiao Mingcheng coming, he immediately asked Liu Gui to lower the curtain.

[Mother, please quickly lower the curtain and don't let Big Brother see me.]

But he forgot that even if Xiao Mingcheng didn't see him with his own eyes, he could know that he was here.

After all, Xiao Mingcheng could hear what he was thinking.

Xiao Mingcheng led the Jinyiwei to control everyone. Anyone who had silver in their hands was taken away, and those who did not get the silver were judged based on their behavior.

In the end, they took away twenty or thirty people, and then surrounded the yamen to prevent anyone from approaching.

The matter came to an end, and the stolen silver was placed back in the box intact.

Jinyou waved his hand, and three more boxes of silver were carried down.

This time there were no stones mixed in, it was real three thousand taels of silver.

"Master Gao, I won't open the box this time. If you don't believe me, you can go back and check it again."

How could Gao Liangzhuo dare to do that? It was all because he looked down on others and really thought He Jinyou was a fool!

He hurriedly bowed, "Your Highness, I trust your character. I hope you won't blame me for my poor judgment."

Jinyou smiled and didn't care at all.

"Master Gao, you are joking. It was my fault that I failed to consult you beforehand, causing you, at your age, to accompany me in my mischief. This frightened you, Master. I am to blame."

"..." Gao Liangzhuo pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly. This kid has such a vicious tongue!

Where was the slightest hint of apology in his tone? He was clearly saying he was meddling in other people's business!

But even if he knew that Jinyou was scolding him, what could he do? He could only put on a smile and pretend that he didn't hear anything.

Fortunately, Xiao Mingcheng came over and rescued him.

"Jinyou, you're here."

Everyone was stunned. When did the relationship between the eldest prince and the regent prince become so good?

The tone sounds so close, as if they were brothers.

Jin You bowed to Xiao Mingcheng and said, "Your Highness, this man just hid in the crowd and incited the people to rob the government silver. I suspect he was deliberately causing trouble at the behest of others. He doesn't want Your Highness to launch a fundraising campaign, nor does he support the Emperor's policies. This villain has ulterior motives. I even suspect he's a spy for the enemy country!"

Jinyou's impartial attitude was beyond doubt, and even Xiao Mingcheng thought for a moment.

He didn't think that this person was a spy from the enemy country, but he definitely was sent here intentionally to cause trouble.

Seeing that Xiao Mingcheng seemed to have been successfully brainwashed by this kid, the man also became scared.

Being a spy for the enemy country... this was a heavy accusation. He struggled to get closer to Xiao Mingcheng. Unfortunately, he couldn't walk at all, so he could only lean on his body and crawl towards him bit by bit.

But before he could climb up twice, Cen Ye grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! I'm innocent! I'm not an enemy spy! Your Highness, please save me! They're trying to lynch me, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, I think this man is talking nonsense. Whether he has incited the people or is a spy for the enemy country will be revealed after a trial. I will report this to my adoptive father and have him tried by the Dali Temple!"

When the man heard about Dali Temple, he started twisting his body wildly. He couldn't fall into the hands of that madman Ji Zhonghuan, or he would die!

To save his life, he hurriedly shouted, "No! I won't go to the Dali Temple! I confess everything! I confess everything! It was the Fourth Prince! It was the Fourth Prince who told me to do this!"

Fourth brother? Xiao Mingcheng's breathing stagnated. He couldn't believe it.

"Why? Do you have any evidence that it was the Fourth Prince?"

"Yes! Yes, yes! I have evidence!" He said as he tried to take something out of his arms, but his arm was broken and he couldn't move.

I could only say, "The things are in the pouch in my arms. They are the golden beans awarded by the Fourth Prince, and they are engraved with the Fourth Prince's emblem!"

Jinyou gave Cen Ye a look, and Cen Ye reached into the man's arms, took out the purse and handed it to Xiao Mingcheng.

Xiao Mingcheng opened the purse and poured everything inside into his hands, revealing a few small carved gold beans.

It is indeed Fourth Brother’s thing!

But what does it mean?

My fourth brother always liked to give out gifts. Whenever he went out of the palace to play and saw someone he liked, he would give a few gold beans. Perhaps he was being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives...

But Xiao Yunzhen didn't think so.

The baby's voice was sometimes far away and sometimes near, but all he could hear was that he was indignant for Jinyou.

Xiao Mingren is the most petty! In his previous life, he hated Jinyou and turned him into a eunuch. In this life, perhaps he hated Jinyou early on because of Xiao Mingxin?

[Besides, since my mother has become the Imperial Consort, I'm afraid she hates all of us to the core. It's not impossible for him to do such a thing!]

"Hmph, Xiao Mingren is merciless. There's another general election next spring, and he's set his sights on the Emperor's new concubine. Because she refused to resist, he strangled her to death in the palace, then pretended to be depressed and hanged himself!"

[It was precisely because Jinyou happened to see this incident that Xiao Mingren held a grudge against him. After He Qianzhao died, he brought Jinyou into the palace, humiliated and tortured him, and even castrated him!]

[What can't this scumbag do? Why hasn't he died yet?]

Xiao Yunzhen scolded him for a long time, and Jinyou finally knew the whole story of how he became a eunuch. It turned out that he had happened to see a murder scene...

But Xiao Mingcheng was shocked by the amount of information revealed in Xiao Yunzhen's thoughts.

Will He Qianzhao die? Next year's election? Is the fourth brother in love with a concubine? And does he murder someone to silence them? Will Jinyou become a eunuch?

This, this, this, this... This shouldn't be the impression he had of his fourth brother!

Why did his fourth brother become like this? Was it because he didn't teach him well?

Xiao Mingcheng fell into doubt, and at this time he no longer dared to guarantee that this matter was not manipulated by his fourth brother behind the scenes.

Xiao Mingcheng pinched his brows wearily and said, "Let's hand it over to the Dali Temple for investigation. Robbing government silver should be a more serious crime."

"Yes, Your Highness. I will explain everything to my adoptive father and will never wrongly accuse anyone."

Xiao Mingcheng waved his hand and let Ji Shuxiao and his men drag the man away, taking the purse in his hand with him.

As soon as the man left, the Ministry of Revenue suddenly became quiet.

The officials and wealthy businessmen who came to donate money didn't know whether they should come forward for a moment.

"Your Highness." Jinyou called Xiao Mingcheng, "Excuse me for a moment."

Xiao Mingcheng rubbed his eyebrows and nodded.

The two walked to a deserted place, and Jinyou said, "The banknote Wenyan handed to you was donated by me on behalf of Xiao Yunzhen."

Xiao Mingcheng was stunned: "Why?"

Jinyou lowered his head slightly, his voice fading away: "I'll do my best to help him gain good fortune, but you don't have to tell him. This is what I should do."
