"Don't worry about this. When I leave, I will take you with me. If you don't want to leave, I will give you a severance package!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Damn it! Time waits for no one. The Lin family's property is so big. If we don't sell it for money quickly, we may not be able to secure a foothold in Nanjing!"
"In this day and age, it's not surprising that there are many people with gifts. As long as you have enough money, it is possible to buy a third-grade official in Nanjing."
Lin Fan murmured in his heart, and when he saw that the servants still didn't act, he yelled loudly: "What are you doing? Go and sell things for me!"
"Yes! Master!"
After the servants confirmed that the young master was not joking, they hurried to sell things.
At this time, two people came from outside the Lin Mansion. A middle-aged man, dressed in rich clothes, had an extraordinary bearing. He looked like he was no ordinary person at first glance. There was also an old man who looked to be in his fifties, following behind him with an attitude.
Respectfully, these two people are the current emperor Chongzhen and the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch Bingbi.
"Your Majesty, this is it."
Wang Chengen looked at Lin Mansion and said in a deep voice.
"Does Fan'er live here?
It’s been almost eighteen years, and I took a look at him when he was born.”
Chongzhen said in a deep voice, with sadness and exhaustion on his face.
Lin Fan was his son, born to him and a brothel prostitute. Due to his status at that time, he could only raise him outside. After he became emperor, the officials in the court kept an eye on him.
, I couldn’t even take a look at him.
He waited all morning in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today, but no official came to the court. He was already feeling heavy and lamented that the world was in a bad state. He was afraid that he could not stop the decline of the Ming Dynasty.
Then, he received a report that his son had died of the plague. Emperor Chongzhen was heartbroken and decided to see his son for the last time.
"Damn it! You guys need to be smarter with your hands and feet. Even if this thing is Tang Sancai, it's just a vase. I can carry it out and sell it on the street!"
"How much does it sell for?
Are you fools?
I said it’s a fire sale, so I’ll sell it as long as you give me money!”
Before Chongzhen entered the Lin Mansion, he heard voices inside.
kindness?
Chongzhen looked confused, then angry. Just after his son died, someone wanted to sell off the property. What a bastard!
Chongzhen walked in with a murderous look on his face, and then he saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old with a handsome face, directing his subordinates to move antiques and porcelain to the street.
When the eunuch Wang Chengen saw Lin Fan, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this...this is His Royal Highness, he...isn't he dead? Why is he suddenly alive now?"
He is actually his own son!
He's not dead yet!
Chongzhen, who originally had a murderous look on his face, suddenly became a little kinder. He was worthy of being his own son. He was so dignified when he ordered his servants to sell off their family property!
wrong!
Why did he want to sell off his property?
Didn’t he ask someone to send him money regularly?
Is it because we don’t have enough money?
That's right. According to Jin Yiwei's report, his son is indeed a prodigal!
Not only did he spend his days drinking and debauching, but he also often reserved venues in places like brothels. He gave money to everyone he saw and spent money like water. If he hadn't been the emperor, he wouldn't have been able to support him.
However, even if I don’t have any money for you, you can’t sell your property. How embarrassing it would be if word spread about it!
"Hey! You two, yes, I'm talking about you two, why are you so blind?
Didn't you see us moving things?
Get out of the way, if you break something, you can't afford to pay for it!"
Lin Fan turned around and saw two people standing at the door, and immediately scolded them.
Emperor Chongzhen was speechless. He was actually scolded by his son, and Wang Chengen said hurriedly: "You must be Lin Fan, the young master of the Lin family. I heard that your Lin family has a great business and is not short of money. Why are you selling all these things?"
ah?"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes at Wang Chengen and said, "What does it have to do with you?
I have the final say on my Lin family’s property!”
After saying that, Lin Fan murmured in his heart: "Are I going to tell you that Li Zicheng will enter Beijing in another three months?
After three days of burning, killing and looting, no matter how many antiques and porcelain you have, they will still be like rubbish. You will smash what should be smashed and rob what should be looted. If you don't do it, your life will be lost."
kindness!
"What did you say?"
Chongzhen looked at Lin Fan and asked.
At the same time, he was also very confused. His son didn't seem to say that much. Moreover, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing City in three months, Lin Fan didn't even open his mouth!
Could it be that this is his inner voice?
"Am I wrong?
This is the property of my Lin family. I am the only one in the Lin family. I can sell it how I like. You two, get out of my way. If you want to pick up something cheap to buy home, go in and pick it out yourself! This is Tang Sancai
Did you see that it can be sold for at least ten thousand taels of silver if you put it outside? You can move it away if you give me one thousand taels of silver!"
Lin Fan said.
"Looking at the appearance of these two people, they should be wealthy people. Why not just give them all your belongings at a preferential price? It would be good if you can get me a hundred thousand taels of silver. When I get to Nanjing, I will buy an official position first.
Then we secretly recruit troops and buy horses, and we can take advantage of these troubled times to build some achievements!"
Lin Fan muttered in his heart and continued to direct his servants to move things.
Creak!
Chongzhen has confirmed that he can indeed hear his son's voice. However, this boy is really rebellious. He actually wants to trick him, and he also wants to recruit troops secretly to build up some achievements!
This is rebellion!
However, according to what he knew, his son seemed to know nothing except living and drinking every day. Why did he become so ambitious all of a sudden?
He probably didn't know about the war in the north, and besides himself and the ministers in the DPRK, not many dignitaries in Beijing knew about Li Zicheng's imminent invasion of Beijing.
Could it be that my son is not simple?
In ancient times, Zhuge Liang was still a young man, but he knew the affairs of the world, and even made a plan to divide the world into three parts in advance. Could it be that his son was also such a great talent?
Furthermore, why do we have to go to Nanjing? Can’t we do something in this city of Beijing?
Or he has already decided that Li Zicheng can break in!
Thinking of this, Chongzhen asked: "Haha, this is your Lin family's property. Naturally, you can do whatever you want with it. However, these things are precious objects. Many people can't buy them, so why do you sell them cheaply?"
