"No...no, we are saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves the people like a son. He will stay and face difficulties with us people."

"That's right! That's it! That's what we're talking about."

"Yes, we all feel very at ease. So, we all decided to donate! As we spoke, the prince came... so it became a misunderstanding..."

"Yes, misunderstanding..."

"Master Xu, are they right?"

Xu Miaoshui, who was named, nodded quickly: "Yes, it is indeed so!"

"Since you said that, tell me, how much do you plan to donate?"

…

"Five hundred taels!" someone shouted.

Gao Yehua raised his eyebrows and smiled extremely strangely: "Did you just say five hundred taels?"

That smile was extremely charming and stunning, but in front of their eyes it became a reminder.

The man trembled and hurriedly said, "No, it's five hundred taels of gold."

Gao Yehua pretended to have a clear expression: "That's it!"

Seeing the possibility of loosening, someone hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the common people are willing to give two thousand taels of silver to the court."

"I will pay you four thousand taels of silver."

"I'll pay six thousand taels."

"Me too, I am willing to pay six thousand taels." Everyone rushed to bid, fearing that if they were slow to pay, their lives would be in danger.

Seeing how excited they were, Gao Yehua smiled lightly: "In this case, I would like to thank you all on behalf of the imperial court!"

An hour later, inside the Prince's residence.

In front of the candlelight, a tall figure stood by the window, with an aloof and uncertain expression, exuding a strong aura of majesty.

The moonlight is cold and somewhat cool.

When the guard walked in, he was slightly startled, and then said to his back: "Your Highness, Mr. Xu, please see me!"

Gao Yehua turned around, showing his perfect face, and strode to his seat: "Let him come in."

Soon, Xu Miaoshui came over, followed by An Jiangchu who was holding a banknote: "I'm here to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Your Majesty, please see His Majesty the Crown Prince."

"Everyone get up!"

After Xu Miaoshui stood up, he said respectfully: "Your Highness, these are the banknotes donated by those people, totaling ninety-four thousand nine hundred taels."

An Jiangchu put all the banknotes on the table, but Gao Yehua just glanced at them with no interest.

Xu Miaoshui glanced at Gao Yehua. Could it be that he still felt that it was missing?

An Jiangchu also glanced at Gao Yehua, but said nothing.

Suddenly, Gao Yehua gave a faint smile and said: "This method still works, and the money comes to your door automatically. The governor is really thoughtful!"

Xu Miaoshui did not dare to claim credit and said politely: "This is all due to His Highness the Crown Prince's good leadership."

It's not that he has never learned Gao Yehua's skills. He only learned it once and lost most of the money he had accumulated over the years.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief, thinking that my life should be saved for the time being.

"Jiang Chu, give one hundred taels of silver to the prefect, and treat it as medical expenses from me! That kick from me took a lot of effort!" Gao Yehua smiled.

When Xu Miaoshui heard this, he was dumbfounded, panicked, and hurriedly refused: "Your Royal Highness, I am worthy of this!"

Gao Yehua just smiled. An Jiangchu handed one hundred taels of silver to Xu Miaoshui and said coldly: "How dare you disobey the prince's order?"

Xu Miaoshui sneered at An Jiangchu's behavior.

I think he was just one of my subordinates back then.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He was just a small official. Now he is in a state of conflict with others.

Xu Miaoshui naturally did not dare to express these words at all, so he took them immediately and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!"

He resigned one after another.

Speaking of which, I have to mention it from five hours ago.

Five hours ago, Gao Yehua was drinking tea in the hotel.

The subordinates hurriedly came to report that the remaining half of the money originally used for disaster relief had quietly disappeared!

What’s even more surprising is that the surrounding guards didn’t feel anything at all! By the time they discovered what had happened, it was already too late!

When such a big thing happened, Gao Yehua naturally ordered someone to summon the governor of the border town for a reply.

The room was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere was a bit strange and cold.

Xu Miaoshui stood there with his head lowered and tremblingly, while An Jiangchu stood beside him with a silent expression.

Only Gao Yehua sat elegantly at the table, sipping fragrant tea slowly and speaking slowly, saying: "Master Xu, tell me, what is going on?"

Even though there is no explanation, the goal is clear.

Xu Miaoshui's body trembled, and there was a slight tremor in his tone: "Go back to Your Highness, when we found out, he was already gone."

"Oh? Mr. Xu donated so many supplies the day before yesterday. He must be dissatisfied. If he can't keep it all, it's because you are greedy for money!" Gao Yehua said leisurely, frightening Xu Miaoshui.

How could he, Xu Miaoshui, dare to challenge the prince?

He had been forced by Gao Yehua to hand over the family property he had worked so hard to save just to save his life. How could he dare to steal relief money now?

The prefect Huo Ran knelt down and said in panic: "I don't dare to do this. It's because I neglected my duty and didn't value the relief money. Please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Gao Yehua habitually narrowed his eyes, with a cold light in his eyes.

There was no emotion at all on his handsome face, and there was a strong cold aura all over his body, which made people speechless: "Do you think I will forgive you easily?

There are so many people who can't defend one place, so what's the use of the imperial court keeping you here? Just pull them out and destroy them! From what I see, you're committing theft by insisting on holding on!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong!"

"It's too late!" Gao Yehua said coldly, "Here, pull him out and destroy him!"

Xu Miaoshui was shocked and quickly begged for mercy: "Your Highness, please spare your life!"

Gao Yehua glanced over sharply, without moving his eyebrows, and said coolly: "Spare your life? How dare you beg for mercy after such a thing happened?"

Xu Miaoshui begged: "The official will definitely find a way to solve this problem!"

"I don't know what to say!" With a bang, Gao Yehua threw the tea cup aside, his narrow eyes were full of cold light, and he spoke in a sinister manner:

"Since you are so self-righteous, why don't you tell me how to recover this loss?"

The prefect was stunned, this problem is indeed a bit difficult, but at the moment it is still important to save his life!

Gao Yehua put on an ice face, glanced at the prefect kneeling on the ground and said:

"Don't say that I won't give you a chance. If you have the ability, go and recover the missing silver from me. I will spare your life! Otherwise, you will be beheaded!"

Xu Miaoshui responded repeatedly.

Xu Miaoshui's original plan was to wait until everyone was drunk before mentioning the donation.

However, I didn’t expect that this group of people drank more and talked more!

They all pointed their finger at His Highness the Crown Prince and said a lot of disrespectful words towards the Crown Prince...

It just happened to provoke His Highness the Crown Prince!

How can everyone not

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The reason for panic is that in the end, in order to save your life, even if you are heartbroken, you dare not disobey!

Now that I think about it, I guess Gao Yehua had already expected it and appeared at that time.

Such a meticulous plan, appearing so cleverly, taking advantage of people's panic, quietly achieving their own goals, and maximizing their interests, is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

Although he received donations from businessmen, An Jiangchu was still a little curious.

An Jiangchu said: "Your Highness, there is something unclear to me. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"

"But it doesn't matter." Gao Yehua was in a happy mood at this time.

"I don't know why His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't order his subordinates to recover the money?"

Gao Yehua said nothing, just looked at An Jiangchu and smiled.

"The stolen money must naturally be traced."

An Jiangchu looked at Gao Yehua's inscrutable appearance and seemed to understand something, saying: "His Royal Highness is really powerful!"

Gao Yehua smiled and said: "Being loyal to me will naturally bring you benefits."
