Chapter 206 Happy
Hearing what Emperor Beichen said, Nangong Yuan's eyes flashed with an ambiguous look, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke.
"It was Old Madam Yun from the Yun family who beat him..."
"No matter which old lady she is from, if she dares to beat the princess, she will be punished by me directly..."
Emperor Beichen hadn't even uttered the word "death" when he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked again.
"Which old lady are you talking about..."
"The Yun family is the Yun family that was just awarded the title of Imperial Merchant by Your Majesty because of the largest amount of charitable donations..."
Hearing that it was indeed the Yun family, Emperor Beichen's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.
"Why did that old woman hit Changning..."
Seeing Emperor Beichen's eyes suddenly brighten, Nangong Yuan knew that the person in front of him must be planning to take over the Yun family. His eyes flashed involuntarily and he spoke.
"It was the carriage that the old lady was riding in. It was driving too fast on the street and almost hit the princess's children. After the carriage was stopped by the coachman, the servants of the Yun family felt that Princess Changning was blocking their way, so they got off the carriage and beat people..."
"When did Changning have a pair of children? Why have I never seen them..."
Hearing that Emperor Beichen's attention was focused on Han Yiyi's children, Nangong Yuan's expression became somewhat unnatural. He coughed lightly before replying.
"The ones Your Majesty has met are Zicheng and Zihui from my family."
"Aren't Zicheng and Zihui your children? How come they became Changning's children? Quick, quick, quick, tell me what is going on..."
When Nangong Yuan saw that Emperor Beichen looked like he wanted to hear gossip, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to discuss this. Why don't you first consider how to deal with the old lady of the Yun family."
"Hey! There's no rush. Haven't you already sent the person to Jingzhao Prefecture? Then let her stay there for a while. Tell me quickly, how come Zicheng and Zihui gave birth to Changning's child again? If so, you two would have done that a long time ago. That doesn't make sense! Didn't Changning get married before? Didn't you steal someone else's wife..."
Nangong Yuan saw that Emperor Beichen's topic was getting more and more off track, so he quickly spoke.
"Your Majesty, this is a long story. It cannot be explained clearly in just a few words. Otherwise..."
"It's okay. I have time now. I can't explain it clearly in just a few words, so just say three sentences."
Nangong Yuan: ...
It was rare for Emperor Beichen to hear Nangong Yuan's gossip about this matter, so how could he let him go?
However, the matter was just as Emperor Beichen said. It was indeed Nangong Yuan who robbed someone else's wife. But it was not him who robbed her. No, it should not be considered robbery. Strictly speaking, it should be considered stealing. It's just that it was not him who stole her, but Ye Yi who helped him steal her.
Seeing that Emperor Beichen was determined to get to the bottom of the matter and would not give up until he got to the bottom of it, Nangong Yuan had no choice but to speak up and tell him how he had been drugged and how Ye Yi had stolen the antidote from his newlywed Han Yiyi.
Hearing this, Emperor Beichen was so shocked that he could fit an egg in his mouth, and then he sighed.
"You are truly worthy of being the general of Emperor Beichen. You achieved two goals in one go..."
Nangong Yuan: ...
"What does the emperor plan to do with the old lady of the Yun family..."
After Emperor Beichen finished gossiping about Nangong Yuan, he restrained his expression. When he heard Nangong Yuan asking about Old Madam Yun again, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes and he spoke.
"What a great Yun family! Not only did they make a fortune from the national crisis, they also used the filthy silver they looted to exchange for my title of imperial merchant. Now, they are so bold as to beat the princess in public. They really want to die."
"Come here, follow my order. The Yun family dared to beat my Princess Beichen in the street. They don't take my Beichen royal family seriously. Now go and confiscate the Yun family for me. All the confiscated property will be turned over to the public treasury. As for all the people in the Yun family, they will all be locked up in the Jingzhao Prefecture jail and await their fate..."
In fact, after Emperor Beichen saw the memorial sent by the spy just now, he had the idea of robbing the Yun family, but he was worried that someone would say that he, the emperor, was ungrateful, after all, the Yun family had just donated a large amount of silver.
Now that Old Madam Yun beat Han Yiyi in the street, it gave Emperor Beichen a handle. Thinking of this, Emperor Beichen couldn't help but curl his face and was really happy in his heart.
When Nangong Yuan heard the order from Emperor Beichen and thought of that gentle man, his eyes showed some complicated emotions.
In fact, Nangong Yuan knew that Ye Yi must have deliberately not taken action, so that Old Madam Yun had the opportunity to hit Han Yiyi. Nangong Yuan naturally knew Ye Yi's intention, but he did not speak again at this time, but turned and left the imperial study.
Inside the Yun Mansion, Yun Yong was still listening to the housekeeper talking about the gifts that had been sent to him by small merchants in recent days since his family became the imperial merchant. He then heard the servants suddenly running in in a panic to report.
He said that many soldiers and officers had come to the gate of the mansion, saying that they were ordered to search the Yun family. He was so scared that he fell off his chair. Fortunately, the housekeeper beside him was quick to support him, otherwise he would have slipped under the chair.
Yun Huaiyuan, who was standing by, was so frightened when he heard the servant's words that his face turned pale. He hurried forward and pulled Yun Yong's sleeve, crying and shouting.
"Dad, Dad, what's going on! Why did the emperor confiscate our house?"
Yun Yong was already upset, and Yun Huaiyuan's words made him even more impatient. He couldn't help but roar in frustration.
"You ask me, who should I ask..."
"It must be my eldest brother, it must be my eldest brother, who told the emperor that we instigated everyone to raise the price of grain. The emperor was angry this time and came to confiscate our house. It must be like this..."
In fact, the reason why Yun Huaiyuan said this was because after Yun Xiao learned about the grain price, he had a big quarrel with Yun Yong. He said that if Yun Yong did not return the money earned from raising the grain price to the people, he would report to the court, saying that the Yun family maliciously raised the grain price, made dirty money, and profited from the national disaster.
When Yun Xiao saw the grain prices in Ping'an Town, he thought it was the government that was plundering the people's wealth, but he didn't expect it was his Yun family.
Because Yun Huaiyuan was outside the study when the two were arguing and heard it clearly, that's why he said this at this time.
Hearing Yun Huaiyuan's words, Yun Yong also remembered what happened that day. Yun Xiao happened to have also received the news at this time, and wanted to come over to ask what was going on. However, as soon as he entered the study, he was slapped hard by Yun Yong.
"You unfilial son, you want to kill everyone in my Yun family, right? Didn't I promise you to donate all that money? Why do you still do this? What good will it do you if the Yun family falls..."
"Yes, brother, why did you do this? Father and grandmother think so highly of you, why do you still want to harm the Yun family like this?"
