"No! Mr. Zhao, haven't you seen the fishiness in this?"
Suddenly, an official said in a deep voice.
Zhao Kun frowned, looked at the man and asked, "What's so tricky?"
The man said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhao, do you think what Liu Chengfeng said is true?
He was promoted by the Crown Prince, how can he be a mediocre person?"
"He started drinking when he came here. He didn't say what was going on. He just said that we were in for a big disaster, and he also wanted to move his head."
"Haha! From my point of view, most of what he said is false. His life is not in danger. It is obvious that we are going to die!"
"Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Would you let someone you respect come to Nanjing alone?
These two thousand people were given by His Majesty and are not His Royal Highness’s people!”
"I guess it is now possible to have a large number of troops..."
After the man said this, everyone present looked shocked. This thing seemed absurd, but based on their understanding of His Royal Highness, it was really possible.
"Hiss! If His Highness the Crown Prince does things like this, he would be too cruel. We didn't provoke him, so why does he have to put us to death?"
Liu Wenle said solemnly.
"Money! A lot of money, haha!"
At this time, Liu Chengfeng, who was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, said with a smile.
He was talking in his sleep, but from the perspective of Liu Wenle and others, this was not a sleep talk, but a reminder to them.
hiss!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants our money!"
"This is very possible. How did His Highness the Prince have money to fight in the first place?
Isn’t it just copied from the family and exterminated the clan?”
"Alas! Thinking of this, I feel chills running down my spine. Those few were all high-ranking officials in the capital, and they were killed by His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"There is already a precedent for this matter. If His Highness the Crown Prince wants our money, he may not give us a reason and just check it."
…
Several people discussed with each other and agreed that Liu Chengfeng came here just to ask for money.
"What do we do now?"
"What else can be done?
Don’t you still know the way His Royal Highness the Prince behaves?
As long as we hand over the money honestly, we can still live. If we don't hand over the money, we will die!"
"That's right, if we hand over all the money now, we can still live. However, we don't know how big the appetite of His Highness the Crown Prince is and how much money can satisfy him."
"It's better to wait for Liu Chengfeng to wake up later and let's ask him carefully. If two to three million taels of silver can solve the problem, we don't need to risk our lives."
"Alas! That's right, two to three million taels of silver is indeed not much."
…
After discussion, several people decided to wait for Liu Chengfeng to wake up and discuss with him how much money to hand back.
After a while, Liu Chengfeng woke up from the alcohol. As soon as he got up from the ground, he saw Liu Wenle, Zhao Kun and others tied up, and asked, "What's going on?
How could you tie up several adults?"
"Sir, you were drunk just now, and your subordinates thought you were poisoned. In desperation, they tied them up."
The commander of the Jin Yiwei replied.
Liu Chengfeng rolled his eyes at the Jin Yiwei and said coldly: "You guys are just kidding! I'm just drunk, how could I be poisoned?"
"Besides, the status of these adults is noble. After all, their official positions are higher than mine. So you just kidnapped them?"
"Why don't you untie it quickly and make amends to the adults!"
"Yes! Sir!"
The commander of the Jin Yiwei hurried over and untied several people.
At this time, several people looked at Liu Chengfeng with something wrong in their eyes, and thought to themselves that this person was too deep in the city. On the pretext of being drunk, he beat them and even had them tied up.
It's good now, but it's too despicable to pass the blame to the commander of Jinyiwei again!
"Guys, it was a misunderstanding just now. These Jin Yiwei are just too cautious in doing things. I also asked a few adults to come in large numbers and don't get to know them."
Liu Chengfeng said with a smile.
Liu Wenle said with a smile: "Haha! Mr. Liu was joking. It was just a misunderstanding. Besides, Mr. Liu came here this time with a mission from His Majesty. If we did not entertain you well, please forgive me."
"Master Liu, we plain people don't tell secrets, so just tell us how much money your Majesty wants. As long as we can come up with it, we will never embarrass Master Liu."
Zhao Kun said bluntly.
kindness!
When Liu Chengfeng heard what Zhao Kun said, he looked at him with wide eyes and thought to himself, he was drunk last night, did he say that he was here to get money?
probably……
Liu Chengfeng reacted very quickly and said with a smile: "Haha! Guys, this is a long story. At first, it was His Highness the Crown Prince's intention. Later, His Majesty made me an imperial envoy."
"Alas! As you all know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs a lot of money recently, and His Majesty also needs money, especially the Ministry of Revenue, which is all empty!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said bluntly that the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue should be replenished as soon as possible, so I came here. How about this, you just tell me how much money you have."
When Liu Chengfeng said this, he also thought that based on the figures mentioned by these people, he would add some as appropriate, let them take them out, and take them back for business.
However, what he said actually became a threat to these people's ears.
Prince!
His Majesty!
Tobe!
This Liu Chengfeng is really a deep city!
They have moved three mountains one after another. Considering His Highness the Crown Prince's appetite, at least five million taels of silver are required. However, His Highness the Crown Prince has already given so much. His Majesty's side will cost at least six million taels.
These two will consume 11 million taels of silver. What about the Ministry of Accounts?
Now that the household is empty, let it be enriched, and that will be the time to return to its peak.
At its peak, the Hubu's treasury must have had 20 million taels of silver. This added up to 31 million taels of silver. This damn guy is not here to get money, he is here to kill them!
"Master Liu, this is too much money..."
Liu Wenle said solemnly.
"Master Liu, you are putting us in a bit of a dilemma. Let's just say a number and we will see if we can figure it out."
"Of course, Mr. Liu must also weigh it and try to keep it as low as possible. After all, this money is too much and we really can't come up with it."
The other officials said.
Liu Chengfeng looked embarrassed. He also wanted to tell a number, but the prince didn't say it, and his majesty didn't say it either. How much is appropriate for him to say...
“Everyone, do you still have enough money?
It’s already very little. Okay, do you still need me to explain how much money you have made in Nanjing City for so many years?”
"There is no need for the Crown Prince to investigate this matter. The Ministry of Revenue is well aware of it. You'd better come up with everything. Otherwise, it will be difficult for anyone to deal with."
