With that said, Nangong Shouzhong took out a roll of gold-backed documents from his arms, held it in both hands and respectfully handed it to King Wen.
King Wen glanced at Nangong Shouzhong, then lowered his head and opened the document in his hand.
There is not much content in the document, just a few numbers that can be read at a glance.
After a while, King Wen closed the document and remained calm.
He looked up at Nangong Shouzhong and chuckled: "It's a good thing that the prince invites you to the capital. What are you talking to me about?"
Nangong Shouzhong smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid that the banquet will not be a good one. If you come from the capital, I will naturally come to inform the prince first."
"Besides, our Highness the Crown Prince has always been very aggressive. And I have never had any contact with him. Now an invitation is suddenly sent. If the prince doesn't nod, I will definitely not dare to go to this capital."
"Just go."
King Wen said calmly.
"Everyone has sent the message to you, so the visitor must have been waiting at your house. If you don't go, it will be a mistake."
"Our Highness the Crown Prince is not easy to fool."
Returning the document in his hand to Nangong Shouzhong, King Wen said: "Since he invited you and not others, then naturally you have what he needs. Think about your identity, what is the biggest difference between you and others?"
Nangong Shouzhong shook his head and said: "What makes me different from others is that I have the title of the richest man in Jiangnan..."
Before he finished speaking, Nangong Shouzhong was shocked. He raised his head and said in astonishment: "Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince is here just for me, the richest man?"
King Wen's expression was calm, and he said coldly: "When people are hungry, they will naturally look for the cook. When they are thirsty, they will look for the water seller. When they are bored, they will go to a brothel to listen to music and watch a show. If I find you, the richest man in Jiangnan, on your head, it is natural.
He wants money, otherwise he can ask you to make him laugh, right?"
King Wen's words made Nangong Shouzhong nervous, and he hurriedly said: "I have never had anything to do with the imperial court, and I am even stranger to His Highness the Crown Prince. It's a bad sign that he came to me."
"Otherwise, if I still reject him, can he still take me back to the capital by force?"
"inappropriate."
King Wen shook his head and rejected Nangong Shouzhong's idea.
"Since this document has been delivered to you, it represents the prince's invitation. If you refuse, you will refute his face. If you refute his face, you will give him an excuse to deal with you. This kind of invitation
You can't do anything that is beyond the control of a human being."
"Go ahead." King Wen narrowed his eyes and said, "He won't do anything to you as long as I'm here. Let's see what he wants first."
Although Nangong Shouzhong felt a little uneasy, King Wen had already reached this point, and he could not continue to insist on it, so he could only nod his head and agree.
"do not worry."
King Wen patted Nangong Shouzhong on the shoulder and said with gentle relief: "Although I cannot go with you, I will arrange a few experts to protect you."
"As a prince, even if he wants to touch you, he must find a suitable and reasonable reason. If it is not convincing, I will naturally have ways to prevent him from touching you."
So, if he finds a suitable and reasonable reason, wouldn't I be dead?
Nangong Shouzhong thought so, and felt his heart became even heavier.
But he didn't dare to show anything on his face, and asked: "Your Majesty, since he comes to me to ask for money, then I definitely can't give him the money. How should I deal with him when he gets to the capital?"
