Chapter 159 The money you owe us! It must be paid back!
"What! These people actually dare to take advantage of me, Baihu Si Yinzi. They are really audacious!"
Lin Fan couldn't help but cursed after hearing this.
At the same time, I was secretly afraid in my heart that if Sun Buer hadn't been a strong old guy, the money would probably have been taken away by this group of people.
When you come back, even if you have made great achievements, don't even think about getting your money back.
"Damn it! You really deserve a spanking!"
Lin Fan couldn't help but cursed.
"Sir, Li Guozhen really deserves a beating. It is said that when officials from the Ministry of War beat him, he cursed and threatened that the people in the Ministry of War were all sons of bitches and they did not dare to beat him to death!"
The Jin Yiwei of Baihu Division said.
"Haha! If it were me, I would really beat him to death."
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
Then, he went to find Sun Buer and asked him about the specific situation at that time.
When he learned that Sun Buer had forced several people to sign an IOU, Lin Fan was excited. This was more than ten million taels of silver!
"We must get this money back!"
Lin Fan looked at the IOU and said in a deep voice.
"Hey, sir, this is my IOU."
Sun Buer said with a smile.
"What is yours and mine? This is ours. Give me this IOU first. I will go to see His Majesty now. When the time comes, I will show this IOU to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to ask for the money for us."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Sun Buer laughed even more cheekily: "Hey, sir, this money is coming back, but you have to give me more. You said that when you come back, you will bring me double the money."
What Sun Buer meant was to blame Lin Fan for not bringing back double the amount of money. Lin Fan gave Sun Buer a big eye roll.
This old guy's pocket is so magical that it can hold a million taels of silver. Yet, he still wants to pay him back double the amount of silver.
It's a beautiful thought. When the money comes over, it will also be your own, and you won't be able to give him a cent.
"Ahem! Sun Buer, how dare you negotiate terms with me now?
If I don't take action, can you get this money back?"
Lin Fan asked rhetorically.
Sun Buer's old face drooped and he said: "Sir...sir, if it weren't for you, this silver villain would definitely not come back."
"That's fine, since if you don't come back, if I can get it back, wouldn't it be my money?"
Lin Fan said.
Sun Buer scratched his head and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Lin Fan said, but he just felt that something was wrong.
"Hehe, my lord is absolutely right. All this money is yours. When you come back, all you have to do is leave it to the villain to look after!"
Sun Buer said with a smile.
Lin Fan nodded and then left the secret room. He had just returned to the capital and must go to see Emperor Chongzhen as soon as possible, otherwise the ministers would say that he had neglected the emperor again.
After leaving the Baihu Si Yamen, Lin Fan led an elite guard to the palace. Emperor Chongzhen also received news of Lin Fan's return to the capital. As soon as Lin Fan entered the palace, Emperor Chongzhen summoned hundreds of officials and waited in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Lin Fan.
Lin Fan walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, bowed slightly to Emperor Chongzhen, and said solemnly: "My lord, Lin Fan, pay homage to Your Majesty! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
Emperor Chongzhen felt happy when he heard Lin Fan's respectful attitude and said: "Lin Fan, you are finally back. You have contributed a lot to the recovery of Liaodong this time!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Damn it! You also know that I deserve a lot of credit, but what did you do?
He was playing tricks behind his back and asked people to go to Baihu Division to get the silver. Fortunately, I have a back-up plan."
"Oh! Sure enough, since ancient times, the emperor's family has been the most ruthless. Although he said that he wants me to be the prince and hand over the Ming Dynasty to me in the future, he still thinks about killing me all the time!"
Lin Fan thought in his heart.
this……
Emperor Chongzhen wanted to explain, but didn't know how. Although he was forced by officials, he did agree to the matter.
Moreover, Lin Fan didn't say it to his face. He couldn't just ask directly what he was thinking in his mind, otherwise the secret would be exposed.
"Haha! Your Majesty still praises you, Lin Fan, do you know that the guards of the three cities of Gaiping, Fuzhou and Ninghai have surrendered?
Why kill them?"
Li Guozhen asked with a sneer.
Lin Fan couldn't help but cast an extremely cold look at Li Guozhen. This old boy was double-dealing and was always targeting him.
Then Xiang Yu of Zhan Shifu was killed, so you are seeking death too!
Before Zhu Cijiong could wait for Lin Fan to answer, he said directly: "Hmph! Li Guozhen, don't stop spitting. The three cities of Gaiping, Fuzhou, and Ninghai did not make any effort when we regained Liaodong. Is this a surrender?"
?”
"Besides, His Majesty never issued an order to us, so naturally we didn't know those three cities had surrendered!"
Forehead!
Being scolded by Zhu Cijiong, Li Guozhen froze there and thought to himself, my third prince, who are you talking about for?
I'm on your side!
Lin Fan looked at Zhu Cijiong with a satisfied expression.
"That's right! Looking at the look in this boy's eyes, he is starting to admire me more and more. If I train him well, I will make him the number one general of my Ming Dynasty in the future!"
Lin Fan thought in his heart.
…
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned. The brain circuit of his illegitimate son was indeed extraordinary. The battle for the throne in the imperial family was very cruel!
Generally speaking, when a prince ascends the throne, the other princes will either die or become idle kings. Not only did Lin Fan not intend to sideline Zhu Cijiong, he also planned to make him a general!
However, this made him feel more at ease, as it meant that Lin Fan's ascension to the throne would mean that his two younger sons would not be in any danger.
"What the Third Prince said is absolutely true. This time in the fierce battle with Jiannu in Liaodong, our soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The three cities of Gaiping, Fuzhou, and Ninghai took a lot of benefits from me, but they did not send troops. They said they surrendered.
,Do you believe it?"
Lin Fan looked at Li Guozhen and said.
this……
Li Guozhen was immediately stunned by the question. The fact that the defenders of these three cities did not send troops to help Lin Fan showed that they did not sincerely submit.
If you continue to use this reason to find trouble, you will only be asking for trouble.
"This... you are making excuses. Those three cities have nearly 100,000 troops. After you attack those three cities, how are the troops distributed?"
"I think you want to monopolize the military power of the Ming Dynasty?"
Li Guozhen said coldly.
Then, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Fan and Sima Zhao's intentions are clearly revealed. I suggest that we reduce the military power in Lin Fan's hands and return all the troops to the Ministry of War!"
"snort!"
What Li Guozhen said was very beneficial to the Ministry of War, but the people in the Ministry of War still snorted and looked down upon Li Guozhen.
