"Your Majesty! This! There is a misunderstanding. This IOU is not what I want to sign!"
Li Guozhen said hurriedly.
"kindness?
Mr. Li, you are the Crown Prince and Grand Master, and you must be reasonable in your behavior. Your name is written in black and white on this piece of paper, and you actually said that it was not you who signed it?"
Lin Fan looked at Li Guozhen indifferently.
Gudu!
Li Guozhen swallowed hard. The officials from the Ministry of War wanted to follow Li Guozhen's words and get rid of the issue of the IOU.
At this time, everyone was wilted, and Lin Fan said again: "Your Majesty, since this Li Guozhen does not recognize this IOU, then I have no reason to plead for him, so just kill him!"
"This! Your Majesty doesn't want it, I'll give it back!"
Li Guozhen said hurriedly.
Anyway, I am not the only one who owes money. Officials from the Ministry of War are also involved. I can repay at most two million taels of silver, and they have to pay the rest.
"Okay! If Mr. Li says that, Lin will admire you a little. Colleagues from the Ministry of War, Mr. Li said that he has paid off your debts. Don't you thank Mr. Li?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
The officials from the Ministry of War reacted immediately and hurriedly thanked them: "Thank you, Mr. Li!"
"Master Li is really my role model. His responsibility and responsibility are something that few people can match. From today on, Master Li is my reborn parent!"
"Master Li, I will call you second brother from now on. As for why you can't call you eldest brother, it's because Master Lin is my eldest brother!"
The officials of the Ministry of War reacted very quickly and silenced Li Guozhen. Emperor Chongzhen also knew that Lin Fan did this on purpose, just to trick Li Guozhen.
However, with Li Guozhen's strength, can he afford to repay so much money?
More than seventeen million taels.
Just when Emperor Chongzhen was confused, Lin Fan's heartbeat rang out again.
"Hehe! Li Guozhen, Li Guozhen, with all the contacts you have accumulated, you will be responsible for sending money to me!"
"Don't you like greed?
From today onwards, I will protect your greed, but if you want to steal the money from the imperial court, you will no longer be able to do so, but you can be greedy as much as you want from the money of aristocratic families!"
Lin Fan thought in his heart.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard what Lin Fan was thinking, he was shocked and speechless.
"This! This son of mine is really powerful. He can even think of such harmful ideas! I don't know how long I have been jealous of the money of those wealthy families!"
"If I hadn't been the emperor, I would have wanted to go out and get greedy for money. Wonderful! It's really wonderful!"
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen coughed twice and said: "Li Guozhen, since you took the initiative to bear all the debts, it shows that you sincerely repent, I will exempt you from the death penalty!"
"However, you must repay the debt of seventeen million taels of silver in full, otherwise, it will be a massacre, and I will never tolerate it!"
snort!
After that, Emperor Chongzhen stood up, held up his sleeves, and left directly. He was worried that if he continued to stay here, Li Guozhen would kneel on the ground and cry, and if something else happened, it would be troublesome.
At this time, Li Guozhen was completely stunned. All the debts were now on his own head. How could he pay them back?
Donghuamen!
Li Guozhen walked out in despair, with a melancholy look on his face. Lin Fan followed him and quickly caught up.
"Master Li, you said you have incurred so much debt all at once, what are you going to do?"
Lin Fan said.
"You! Are you making fun of me?
Hum! Lin Fan, I don’t know what method you used to confuse His Majesty, but I, Li Guozhen, will never give in to you!"
"You have made me bear so much debt today, and I will not give you a penny. I, Li Guozhen, still have some backbone!"
Li Guozhen pointed at Lin Fan, his face flushed and his neck thick with anger.
Lin Fan looked at Li Guozhen's expression and found it a little funny, so he said: "Master Li, I don't have any intention of making fun of you, but I just want to give you some advice to repay your debt."
"Since you are so strong-willed, I have nothing to say. Just take your backbone and your family to the underworld and live a good life."
After saying that, Lin Fan turned around and left. Li Guozhen was stunned. Did he really come to help him with advice?
As for having backbone, he is talking nonsense. In the face of life and death, all backbone is nonsense!
"Lin Fan! Emperor Wuhou, stop here. You just said you wanted to give me some advice. Come and listen to it. If it is really useful to me, I will owe you a favor."
Li Guozhen said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Mr. Li can bend and stretch, he is truly a role model for us. My idea will definitely not disappoint Mr. Li!"
"However, this is not the place to talk. Mr. Li, why don't you come with me to the Baihu Si Yamen."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
When Li Guozhen heard that he was going to Baihu Si Yamen, his body tensed up. However, he felt relieved when he thought that if Lin Fan wanted to kill him, there was no need to trick him into going there.
"Okay! I'll go to Baihusi Yamen with you!"
Li Guozhen said.
The two left together, and the officials behind were watching.
"Hiss! Is Li Guozhen going to fight Lin Fan to the death?"
"Shhh! Don't talk nonsense about this matter. One of them is the Crown Prince and Grand Master, and the other is the Emperor Wuhou. They can fight however they like and it has nothing to do with us!"
The officials discussed in low voices.
Lin Fan took Li Guozhen to the Baihu Si Yamen and found a pavilion to sit down. Lin Fan said: "Master Li, you know your details, I know them, and the officials also know it, but everyone knows it tacitly!"
"The fact that you can give three million taels of silver to the Ministry of War means that you have made a lot of money over the years, hehe! Being able to make so much money means that you have a very wide network of contacts!"
"Since you have so many connections, are you still worried about not being able to repay the debt of seventeen million taels of silver?"
kindness?
Li Guozhen looked puzzled and said: "Mr. Lin, do you want me to make money?
This is corruption and perversion of the law. You have no evidence, but you can make me miserable. If you have evidence, you won't confiscate my home and exterminate my family!"
"Haha! Mr. Li, you are worrying too much. If you don't pay the money now, won't you also have your home confiscated and your family exterminated?"
"Besides, there are preconditions for what I'm telling you. You can make money and make money unscrupulously, but you can't make money from the court, and you can't touch the people at all!"
"As long as you can guarantee these two points, no matter how much money you make, I will protect you. You have to know that with me protecting you, your status in this court is unshakable. Aren't you quite a master?
I'll help you."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
kindness?
Li Guozhen looked at Lin Fan, trying to tell from Lin Fan's face that he was teasing him, but Lin Fan's eyes gave him a firm feeling, and it was obvious that he was not joking.
