Rebirth of the Imperial Uncle's Medical Concubine

Chapter 222: Substituting one thing for another (1)

Xiao Tianming smiled and said to Li Junhe, "It's okay! When you are away from home, Your Highness understands this matter!"

Li Junhe quickly bowed to Xiao Tianming and said, "Thank you, Third Prince, for not blaming me!"

Xiao Tianming smiled and sat down and asked Li Junhe, "Have you arranged everything for the repair money?"

Li Junhe nodded and said to Xiao Tianming, "Please rest assured, Third Prince. Everything has been arranged properly. It's just that there are a few twists and turns at the beginning!"

Xiao Tianming understood what Li Junhe meant, and deliberately pretended to be puzzled and said to Li Junhe, "What kind of twists and turns made the old general like this!"

Li Junhe said to Xiao Tianming solemnly, "It's nothing, it's just that there was a discrepancy in the repair funds prepared by the Ministry of Revenue, and then Duke Xu stepped in to solve it."

Xiao Tianming continued to ask in surprise, "What kind of discrepancy is this? How is this matter related to Duke Xu? What the old general said made me even more confused. How could the Ministry of Revenue be connected to Duke Xu? How could it be related to him?"

Li Junhe thought, you don't know yet, you are also involved in this matter. But Li Junhe pretended to be puzzled and continued to say to Xiao Tianming, "This old minister doesn't quite understand it, but since the third prince asked, then this old minister will tell you, in case something happens in the future, the third prince can also be a witness for this old minister in front of the emperor!"

When Xiao Tianming heard this, he immediately put on a serious face and said to Li Junhe, "Don't worry, old general! If the emperor asks about it in the future, I will tell him the truth."

Upon hearing this, Li Junhe immediately said to Xiao Tianming with gratitude, "Thank you very much, Third Prince!"

Xiao Tianming smiled and said to Li Junhe, "Then old general, please tell me in detail!"

Li Junhe continued to say to Xiao Tianming, "It's like this. This morning, I went to the Ministry of Revenue and asked people to count the repair money. The result... the result... only... only 30% of the repair money was real."

When Xiao Tianming heard what Li Junhe said, he looked at Li Junhe in surprise and said, "What did you say? What do you mean by only 30% of the repair money is real?"

Li Junhe explained to Xiao Tianming, "Third Prince, don't be nervous. Duke Xu has already helped us solve this problem. Thirty percent of the money is real, which is only a few hundred thousand taels of silver. The rest of the silver is... all fake."

When Xiao Tianming heard that Duke Xu had solved the problem, he knew that this was what his people had investigated this morning. Xiao Tianming really didn't expect it to be true.

Xiao Tianming angrily said to Li Junhe, "Then I wonder how Duke Xu solved it?"

Li Junhe quickly said to Xiao Tianming, "Duke Xu said that he went to find Song Yunshu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and he went. In less than an incense stick of time, he came back with the remaining silver. It's really amazing. I didn't expect that Song Yunshu could pretend to obey the emperor's will, but to Duke Xu..."

Li Junhe did not finish what he was going to say, leaving Xiao Tianming to feel it for himself. So when Li Junhe finished, Xiao Tianming sneered and said, "Yes! This Duke Xu is really amazing!"

Li Junhe smiled and said to Xiao Tianming, "I heard that this Duke Xu is your uncle, the Third Prince! With such a person helping the Third Prince, it should be..."

Li Junhe's half-sentence made Xiao Tianming nervous. After all, if his father heard this, his road would be over.

Xiao Tianming quickly said to Li Junhe, "This, this is all legend. What if Duke Xu is my uncle? Even if something happens to my uncle, I will not show mercy."

Li Junhe said to Xiao Tianming with admiration, "The Third Prince is indeed very righteous." Xiao Tianming did not say anything to Li Junhe. After all, he already knew all the information he wanted to know. Xiao Tianming said to Li Junhe, "Okay, Your Highness, I will not disturb the old general's rest. We can set off early tomorrow morning."

Li Junhe quickly stood up and said to Xiao Tianming, "Then the Third Prince should go and rest. We will have to work harder starting tomorrow."

Xiao Tianming nodded, and Li Junhe sent Xiao Tianming to the door.

When Xiao Tianming came out, he saw Ye Yi waiting for him at the door. Xiao Tianming signaled Ye Yi not to speak, and the two returned to the room. As soon as they closed the door, Xiao Tianming said to Ye Yi, "Tell me! What's going on?"

Ye Yi said respectfully to Xiao Tianming, "I have checked, the amount of the repair money is correct, and it is indeed marked by the Ministry of Revenue."

Xiao Tianming snorted coldly and said, "It seems that this Duke Xu has embezzled a lot."

Ye Yi respectfully asked Xiao Tianming, "Then what should we do next, Your Highness?"

Xiao Tianming sneered and said, "Since Duke Xu dares to treat me like this, I will make him lose both his wife and his army."

Ye Yi looked at Xiao Tianming in confusion, and Xiao Tianming said to Ye Yi, "Find someone to replace the original with the new one!"

Ye Yi said to Xiao Tianming in surprise, "Your Highness is thinking... If that's the case, what will happen to Jiangnan Mansion?"

Xiao Tianming sneered, looked out the window and said, "Hasn't the emperor's uncle already thought of a solution? In that case, we can only let the emperor's uncle do it."

When Ye Yi heard Xiao Tianming say this, he didn't say anything. He just said "Yes!" to Xiao Tianming and left.

Xiao Tianming looked out the window and said to himself, "Since you are all so unkind and unjust, don't blame me for cutting off the source of your trouble."

Li Ying, who was standing outside the window, heard every word of the conversation between Xiao Tianming and Ye Yi. When Li Ying saw Ye Yi leaving, she also left quickly.

After returning to Li Junhe's room through the window, Li Junhe asked Li Ying, "How is it?"

Li Ying smiled and said to Li Junhe, "The general is really capable. With just a little provocation, he managed to drive a wedge between the Third Prince and Duke Xu."

Li Junhe smiled and said to Li Ying, "Okay, is there anything else?"

Li Ying looked at Li Junhe in surprise and said, "How did the general know there was something else?"

Li Junhe smiled and said to Li Ying, "I know this kind of person too well. Speak now, stop flattering me!"

Li Ying thought about what she had just heard and said to Li Junhe, "The Third Prince arranged for Ye Yi to make a substitution!"

Li Junhe looked at Li Ying in surprise and said, "What did you say? What is the Third Prince going to do?"

Li Ying said to Li Junhe, "Switching the pillars!"

Li Junhe laughed and said to Li Ying, "It seems that even God can't stand it anymore and came to help us!"

Li Ying looked at Li Junhe in confusion and said, "What do you mean, General?"

Li Junhe smiled and said to Li Ying, "You don't need to know this! Now go and take care of our silver car!"
