Chongzhen could only describe his foolish behavior in this way. However, there was still a possibility of making amends at this time. As long as one million taels of silver were sent, the 100,000 troops could still come back.
When the time comes, it will all depend on Lin Fan's methods.
"Lin Fan, if you are really willing to give one million taels of silver to Wu Sangui, that would be the best. I will order Wu Sangui to be transferred back!"
Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Do you think I am willing to let him come back without giving him money, and I will give you money?"
Lin Fan thought in his heart.
Chongzhen felt that he had been insulted, but he could not get angry. He could only think over and over again, hold it back, this is his own son!
"Your Majesty, this one million taels of silver must not be paid in full at once. Otherwise, it would be bad if Wu Sangui gets the money and continues to hold it back!"
"I suggest that I give him one hundred thousand taels of silver first and tell him that as soon as one hundred thousand troops return to the capital to set up defenses, the remaining nine hundred thousand taels of silver will be given to him every cent."
Lin Fan said.
At this time, Chongzhen was indescribably excited. He was indeed his own son. He was so considerate. In this way, Wu Sangui could only come back!
"Oh! You idiot Chongzhen, you really need me to teach you everything. If I give you one million taels of silver, you really plan to spend it all, you're a prodigal!"
Lin Fan said with disdain in his heart.
Chongzhen changed from being excited just now to being angry. How dare you call me a prodigal?
Do you have the nerve to say that?
Think about it for yourself, how much money have you ruined from me?
I raised you so big, why do you spend so much money on me?
"Okay! Just do as you say."
Although Chongzhen was angry in his heart, he could not show it.
"Your Majesty, I will ask the people from Baihu Division to bring the silver!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Lin Fan went directly to the White Tiger Division and ordered people to send one million taels of silver from the warehouse to Chongzhen. Then he summoned a thousand White Tiger Division Jin Yi guards and transferred two more from the Fu Division in Beizhen.
Thousands of people took him to Wei Zude's home.
At this time, Wei Zhide was planning how to get rid of Lin Fan. After all, he had offended him in the court, and this kid would definitely cause trouble for himself.
"Father, I just received news that Lin Fan and his royal guards are coming to our house!"
Wei Zude's son Wei Wuxian walked in.
"What! Then Lin Fan is here with the people from the White Tiger Division! This is impossible. His Majesty said that he is not allowed to act recklessly. Does he still dare to cause trouble?"
Wei Zude was shocked.
Wei Wuxian said solemnly: "Father, this is absolutely true, but my son is not easy to bully. I have just gathered all the servants and retainers. There are still some gangs in the capital, and they are all sons.
Everyone is here too!"
"Now, we have 1,500 people in the Wei family, and all of them are good players. If the guards dare to mess around, they will have to pay the price!"
Hearing what Wei Wuxian said, Wei Zude couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. His son was still too naive, and Lin Fan really dared to mess around.
However, it is better to have someone at this time than no one, at least we can negotiate terms!
"Tell those people not to do anything without my order. I'll go talk to Lin Fan first. Doesn't he want money?
Let’s just give it to him!”
Wei Zhide said in a deep voice.
Wei Wuxian helped Wei Zude to the front yard. At this time, Lin Fan had already walked in with the royal guards. When he saw Wei Zude coming out, he said in a deep voice: "Wei Zude, you are corrupt and perverting the law. Follow me."
Let’s take a walk.”
"Hmph! What are you talking nonsense about?
My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He has always been conscientious and has never done anything to disgrace the court. When did he take bribes and bend the law?"
Wei Wuxian said coldly.
"Shut up!"
Wei Zhide scolded Wei Wuxian, then looked at Lin Fan and said: "Master Lin, there were many offenses in the court today. I was wrong. I will apologize to you!"
"Hmph! Wei Zude, you don't really think that I am a petty person, do you? I will take revenge on you just because you advised the emperor that you want to put me to death?"
"I have evidence. You are corrupt and perverting the law. You have as much as one million taels of silver hidden in your home. Even if you have been the Minister of the Ministry of Industry for a hundred years, you will not earn so much money!"
"Don't think that I don't know how you got the money. The money the imperial court used to repair rivers and benefit the people from attacking the city was actually stolen from you!"
"Do you know that if the money had repaired the rivers and brought benefits to the people, the Ming Dynasty would not have been in chaos, and Li Zicheng would not have become a leader!"
"You really deserve to be killed!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
hiss!
Wei Shaode couldn't help but take a breath of air. He didn't expect Lin Fan to know his details so clearly.
"Haha! Mr. Lin, you must not say such things. I always act according to the rules. The court is short of money now. I can donate some money to the court!"
"How about this? I am willing to give five hundred thousand taels of silver to the court, and at the same time, I will give another one hundred thousand taels to you, sir. How about that?"
Wei Zhide said in a deep voice.
Chongzhen once said that when checking for corrupt officials, as long as the money does not kill anyone, if he takes the initiative to hand over 500,000 taels and returns 100,000 taels to him, then he can't kill himself.
"Haha! Wei Zhide, do you think five hundred thousand taels is enough to buy your life?
If you can come up with ten million taels, I might consider letting you go!"
Lin Fan sneered.
"You! You're a big talker. Ten million taels. You've searched all the officials in the capital. How can you find so much money?"
Wei Wuxian said coldly.
When Lin Fan heard this, he said directly: "Ouch! You are quite smart. The officials in the capital will check it and give out twenty to thirty million taels for free."
"I don't want to talk nonsense to you. Everyone, kneel down and follow me back to the Jinyiwei Yamen. You can still survive. Otherwise, don't blame the embroidered spring knives in our hands for being ruthless!"
After Lin Fan said this, all the Jinyi guards drew their swords, especially the people from Beizhen Fusi. This was the first time for them to follow Lin Fan to search an official's home. They were very excited!
"You! How dare you! His Majesty said that only the money will be searched and no killing will be allowed. I am willing to give out the money. What else do you want?"
Wei Zhide said in a trembling voice.
"Wei Zude, you know how much money you have. If you had just opened your mouth and taken out all the money, I would have let you go. Since you still want to hide your secrets, don't blame me for being rude!
"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Hmph! Father, why are you talking to them so much? Brothers, kill them all. As long as you kill Lin Fan, my father can keep you safe!"
"With my father's qualifications, he can definitely become the new chief minister of the cabinet. By then, all the gambling houses in the capital will belong to you!"
