I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 492: Psychological Activities and Resentment

At this time, Leng Xian had finished receiving thirty strokes of the cane and was dragged back to the Golden Palace by the golden-armored guards.

Before being caned, Leng Xian couldn't even stand, let alone being caned thirty times.

Leng Xian clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and used his elbows to support his body, just lying there in a very ungraceful manner.

The pain in his body caused cold sweat to drip down his forehead, leaving a few small water marks on the ground in front of his face.

While Leng Xian was enduring the pain, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Well, no matter how many crimes the emperor had listed against me before, after I have endured this beating, it should be all cleared!

never mind!

All you have to do is to heal your injuries.

Leng Xian had a good idea.

But things were not as good as he thought!

Emperor Hongde, who was sitting on the throne, spoke slowly at this time: "Marquis Qinxing, you have accepted the thirty canings, and this account is settled;

The rest is a half-year salary penalty.

Besides that, there is nothing else for you to do in the court, so go back and heal your wounds!"

After Leng Xian heard what Emperor Hong De said, he felt relieved at first, then tense.

The reason for the loosening is that Emperor Hong De said that the account was settled;

The emperor told him to go back and recuperate.

That's easy to say, but how does he recover from his injuries?

What can I use to heal my injuries?

How can I, the Marquis of Qinxing, who doesn't even have a penny, hire a doctor? How can I get medicine? How can I take supplements to heal my injuries?

Could it be that... the emperor summoned me to the palace today just to give me a beating?

Don’t you even plan to help me or reward me with some gold and silver?

Could it be that the Emperor... the Emperor really doesn't care about the fact that they are his children's relatives and would give them some reward?

Or did the emperor forget?

Has the emperor really forgotten that the Marquis Qinxing’s mansion had been completely robbed?

Leng Xian lay there, took a deep breath, and spoke while enduring the pain: "Your Majesty, I am wrong, I accept the punishment and I am convinced.

But…but Your Majesty, my…my mansion was completely robbed by thieves, and now my…my mansion is having a hard time making a living, and we are already unable to afford food and clothing!

I hope Your Majesty… I hope Your Majesty will understand… understand my… my difficult situation.

I beg the emperor... I beg the emperor... um, order the relevant government offices to work hard to catch the thieves as soon as possible and recover my property as soon as possible to relieve my urgent need!"

Leng Xian actually really wanted to say: Your Majesty, don’t you see how miserable I look?

Not only do I have lost my official uniform, I don’t even have a decent piece of clothing to wear!

There’s almost no food left!

Can't you...can't you give me more gold and silver as a reward?

However, even if he had the courage, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Leng Xian could only stand there and cry his poorest and do his best.

In fact, the emperor and his ministers in the palace all heard the meaning of Leng Xian's words clearly, and they were all laughing in their hearts!

After hearing Leng Xian's words, Emperor Hongde on the throne couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Emperor Hongde suppressed his laughter and said in a serious tone, "Marquis Qinxing, don't worry, I have already issued an order to the Shuntian Prefecture government, ordering them to speed up the capture of the thieves and recover the lost property in the Marquis Qinxing's mansion.

At the same time, I also issued an edict that if the lost property of the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion could be recovered, the first thing to do was to check Fu Baozhen's dowry list one by one.

In addition, the profits generated by the shops and manors under Fu Baozhen’s name over the years must also be verified and then sealed.

Fu Baozhen is gone, but she still has her biological daughter Leng Rongyue.

Naturally, Fu Baozhen's dowry should be inherited in full by her biological daughter Leng Rongyue, and no one else should touch it.

If anyone dares to embezzle the money, he will be convicted and punished according to the amount.

As for Fu Baozhen’s property other than her dowry...it naturally belongs to the Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion.

Oh, right!

Please also recall...

Has the Marquis of Qinxing ever used or enjoyed the operating income from the shops and farms owned by Fu Baozhen?

Because when the time comes, these will have to be checked one by one.

And there is...

Before this, did Marquis Qinxing, your mother, or your concubine ever secretly take treasures from Fu Baozhen's dowry and give them away as gifts during social interactions?

If so...where were they sent?

Who did you give it to?

No matter where the treasures in Fu Baozhen's dowry were sent, they had to be retrieved.

I don't want to see anyone secretly touching anything in Fu Baozhen's dowry!

I also don’t want to see anyone accepting anything from Fu Baozhen’s dowry!

Because no one has the right to use those things except Fu Baozhen's only daughter Leng Rongyue.

Of course, we should also treat it as lost property and recover it!"

As soon as Emperor Hong De said these words, some of the ministers in the hall began to break out in cold sweats!

Over the years, Leng Xian has been busy and jumping around.

In order to win over court officials and build relationships with them, he did give out a lot of valuable gifts.

However, how could the dilapidated Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion produce any decent treasures?

It was nothing more than taking Fu Baozhen's dowry to save face.

It seems that the first thing I have to do after returning home today is to return all the gifts I received from Marquis Qinxing.

And... I received it and then forwarded it to others...

Can't say...

Ugh!

I have to ask for it back even if it means losing face...

We have to pray... they didn't send it out after receiving it...
