Originally, after recruiting the great master Kuihua Ancestor, Kangxi planned to send Kuihua Ancestor to assassinate Prince Bao. However, the matter on Xiake Island was more urgent, so he was sent there first. Unexpectedly, three months have passed.
However, Prince Bao could not wait any longer, so he reluctantly allocated this batch of money from his inner treasury.
Unexpectedly, Murong Fu was not very satisfied and snorted, "Your Majesty is too unreasonable. Is Prince Bao's life only worth two million taels?"
Kangxi didn't expect Murong Fu to say it so directly. He was startled and looked around unconsciously. After calming down for a while, he said calmly, "How much does Mr. Murong want?"
Murong Fu stretched out five fingers and gestured.
"Five million taels?" The corner of Kangxi's mouth twitched slightly. He had known that Murong Fu would open his mouth in a big way, but he didn't expect that he would be so ruthless and more than double the price as soon as he opened his mouth.
Murong Fu nodded, with a smile on his lips, "Yes, five million taels, gold."
"What!" Kangxi stood up abruptly and looked at Murong Fu with wide eyes, his chest so full of anger that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing his appearance, Murong Fu was afraid that he would get angry and be accused of regicide, which would cause a lot of trouble, so he hurriedly explained,
"Your Majesty, you also know that it is not easy for me to go out this time. I don't know how much the Murong family's business has been delayed, but it must be more than two million taels of silver. That is all money in vain. Now in order to give
The emperor's work is gone, shouldn't the emperor make some compensation?"
Kangxi calmed down a little and looked at Murong Fu intently without saying a word.
After Murong Fu finished speaking, he moved Li Mochou's body around in front of him, "Your Majesty, look at me again. Mochou is so thin that only bones are left. I can't even afford rouge and gouache. I've been tired of traveling all the way, isn't it?
Should I make up for it? And you don’t know that Mochou’s travel expenses are almost as high as those of the empresses in the world.”
Li Mochou's face turned dark instantly, and a few black lines faintly appeared on her face.
Kangxi's face twitched a few times. What kind of golden branches and jade leaves are you? You can compare with the empress after traveling far away. That's why Murong Fu dared to speak like this in front of him. If he were anyone else, he would be dragged out and beheaded.
"In addition to this," Murong Fu added, "the emperor should also add confidentiality fees. After all, it is difficult for a person to keep his mouth shut. Apart from silence, the only thing left is money."
Kangxi rarely rolled his eyes. If I could silence you, I would have killed you long ago. How can I wait until now?
Murong Fu's voice suddenly became serious, "Of course, these are just small amounts of money. The most important thing is, shouldn't the emperor buy insurance for himself?"
Kangxi was stunned, "What kind of insurance?"
A strange smile flashed across the corner of Murong Fu's lips, "Your Majesty, think about it, since you can pay me to kill others, then others can naturally pay me to kill you. If the price you offer is lower, I won't be tempted if I can't guarantee everything."
What should I do?”
Kangxi was suddenly startled, "How could you do this? I have made a covenant with you!"
Murong Fu rolled his eyes at him and said quietly, "I personally am very moral, but Prince Na Bao has been sitting here for many years and has plundered a lot of people's wealth and anointing, just tens of millions of taels of silver. No matter how moral it is,
Gao also has a price, what if he touches me?"
"Of course, if the price offered by the emperor is high enough, then Prince Bao will have to pay ten times the price if he wants to impress me."
Kangxi's expression suddenly became uncertain. Murong Fu was right. He had not considered this aspect beforehand. Moreover, Murong Fu was greedy. If Prince Bao gave out more money, he would probably rebel against him.
As an emperor, he should understand this truth more thoroughly than Murong Fu.
After some calculation in his mind, Kangxi suddenly said, "Okay, as long as you complete this matter, I will give you six million taels of gold."
Murong Fu was overjoyed. He didn't expect that with a few nonsense words, he would end up with millions more taels of gold in his account. Are all these royal families so rich? For a moment, he looked at Kangxi with bright eyes, as if he was looking at something.
A peerless beauty.
Kangxi was stared at by him like this. He felt as if his whole body had been seen through. He felt chills all over his body. He couldn't help but said angrily, "Murong Fu, do you want to do it or not? If not, I will hire someone else. There are many martial arts experts in the world."
, it’s not just your Murong family."
Of course, he was just saying this. It was not that he had never thought of asking someone else to do it. It was just that the assassination of Prince Bao was so important. If he sent someone else to do it, it would be better if it succeeded. If it failed, he would be able to alert the snake and make a mistake.
, he couldn't even keep the dragon chair. Although Murong Fu was greedy for money, his martial arts skills were really not weak. There was no more suitable candidate than him.
Murong Fu came back to his senses, suppressed the joy in his heart, and said calmly, "Six million taels of gold is certainly no problem, but I never do credit, so please ask the emperor to send someone to deliver the gold first."
"You..." Kangxi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, a feeling of depression suddenly came out of his chest, his throat became sweet, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Ouch," Murong Fu screamed strangely and took a few steps forward, "What's wrong with the Emperor? Is it because you've made up too much and become angry?"
Kangxi waved his hand weakly, indicating that he was fine. After a long while, his expression returned to normal, "Mr. Murong, I can give you the gold first, but there is one condition. After removing Prince Bao, you will get every stitch in Prince Bao's palace."
You are not allowed to reach out again. Besides, if you break your promise and become fat, I will destroy your Murong family at all costs."
"Humph, what a loud tone." When Li Mochou heard this, she immediately became unhappy. She took a step forward and released all her momentum, and a strong and fierce wind swept towards Kangxi.
Kangxi was shocked. He didn't expect that this seemingly fragile woman could be so powerful in martial arts.
However, Murong Fu moved a step to the right without leaving any trace, and was right in front of Li Mochou. When he passed by Murong Fu, his aura disappeared instantly.
At this moment, Murong Fu's face was also full of uncertainty. He had talked nonsense before, but in fact he just wanted to blackmail Kangxi casually. As long as Kangxi was tougher, he would make concessions, because the biggest advantage of this matter is that
You can search Prince Bao's mansion. Prince Bao has been the local emperor in Daizhou for many years, and he doesn't know how much money he has plundered.
Unexpectedly, Kangxi had calculated all this clearly. If he could not loot Prince Bao's palace, a mere six million taels of gold would not be enough.
After hesitating for a long time, Murong Fu finally nodded, thinking to himself, "Whatever, I'll take some of it secretly when the time comes."
He said, "Okay, this matter is settled. Your Majesty will wait for my good news and take my leave."
After saying that, he walked out of the palace. Before leaving, he turned back and glanced at a corner of the imperial study.
Kangxi was slightly frightened, but still treated him calmly, "Is there anything else Mr. Murong can do?"
"No," Murong Fu smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, take care."
After Murong Fu left, Kangxi slammed the table with a bang, which resounded throughout the imperial study.
"Damn Murong Fu, when I free my hands, how can I allow you to be so arrogant?" Kangxi said angrily.
There were two "clicks", and at this moment, there was a sound of mechanical activity in the northeast corner of the hall, a secret compartment opened, and not long after, a white-faced and beardless Confucian young man walked out from there.
"How are the preparations at Prince Bao's Mansion?" Kangxi asked without looking back.
"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind." The young Confucian scholar replied.
When Murong Fu and Li Mochou left the imperial study, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Li Mochou's face turned red and white, and she didn't know what to think.
Murong Fu had just taken advantage of others, so he didn't say much.
After walking for a while, Murong Fu suddenly raised his head and found that he had unknowingly reached the vicinity of Kunning Palace.
"I haven't seen that crazy girl with a twisted mentality for a while. I really miss her." Murong Fu's heart moved and he thought of Princess Jianning.
"Don't worry."
"Master."
A man's and a woman's voices sounded at the same time. The two looked at each other. Li Mochou's face felt hot for no reason, and she hurriedly lowered her head, "Master, please speak."
Murong Fu smiled slightly and said, "You go ahead and tell me."
Li Mochou hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a weak voice, "Disciple...what I said in the hall was really nonsense. It has damaged the reputation of Master. Please punish me."
"Oh?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Li Mochou meant, but there was an expression on his face that was half a smile but not a smile. "When Mochou said this, could it be that being a teacher is not the closest thing to Mochou in the world?"
people?"
"Ah?" Li Mochou was startled and shook her head hurriedly, "No, no, Master is indeed the disciple's dearest person."
"What about Mochou getting married in the future?" Murong Fu asked.
Hearing the word "marry", Li Mochou's heart skipped a beat, and then her face turned pale. Master, what does this mean? Will you marry me to someone else in the future?
In fact, she had allowed Murong Fu to take advantage of her in countless ways over the years, and she had made up her mind never to marry again. Since Master liked this innocent body, it was no big deal to let him take advantage of her, as long as he did not go past the last step.
That’s it.
But now that she heard that Murong Fu was going to marry her off, her heart felt a sharp pain for no reason, as if thousands of needles were pricking her heart. The pain was so tight that she said in a trembling voice, "Disciple... I will never marry for the rest of my life."
Seeing the change in his expression, Murong Fu's face suddenly darkened, "Could it be that you are still thinking about Lu Zhanyuan? Humph, I shouldn't have let him die peacefully in the first place. I should have let him taste the cruelest torture in the world."
When Li Mochou saw Murong Fu's huge reaction, she couldn't help but be startled. Compared to Murong Fu's intention to marry her off, the words "Lu Zhanyuan" seemed insignificant and did not cause the slightest disturbance.
