The fat man smiled sinisterly and spoke politely.
But the meaning of coming to collect debts in these words is not polite at all.
Yun Luo raised his eyebrows, "So, you know who I am?"
"Who doesn't know the third lady of the dignified General's Mansion and the future Princess Jing?"
The fat man smiled broadly and changed the subject.
"I heard that His Highness King Jing is rich all over the world, so he must not be short of money. Our Qingyunfang is just a small business. When the time comes, I am afraid that I will have to trouble His Highness King Jing to pay off the debts of the future princess."
Yun Luo understood the threat in these words as soon as he heard it.
If Yun Luo fails to repay the so-called "gambling debt" today, I'm afraid Qingyunfang will spread the word throughout the city that Princess Jing loves to gamble and will not repay her debts, which will make her lose face.
Just after the imperial edict granting marriage was issued, such a scandal occurred, which also affected King Jing's reputation.
By then, it’s hard to say whether she will be able to hold her position as the future princess.
Call it a threat rather than outright blackmail!
"So, if I don't give you this money today, I won't be able to walk out of your gambling house?"
Yun Luo looked around, seeing a group of strong men watching him with eager eyes, and smiled slowly.
The fat man said meaningfully: "Since Third Miss understands, why bother us? We still have to pay back what is due."
"Who is your boss?"
Yun Luo asked curiously, "If you dare to go to Prince Jing's Mansion to collect debts, you must not be a nobody."
The fat man smiled proudly, but said modestly, "I don't dare. Our boss's surname is Ji, we are on the left, and we happen to have some friendship with His Highness Prince Jing."
The surname is Ji, and the position is on the left.
A character suddenly popped into Yun Luo's mind——
The current left minister, Ji Yongfeng.
An important minister of the first rank of Cangyun Kingdom and one of the leaders of the civil service.
It is said that he is the distant cousin of the empress of the dynasty. Even the prince will call him cousin when he sees him.
The backstage of Qingyunfang turned out to be Zuo Xiangfu. No wonder this fat man looked so confident.
He is actually another figure related to the Queen and her son...
She is like a cockroach that cannot be killed and keeps coming. Do you really think she is a soft persimmon to be pinched?
There was a hint of cold boredom in Yun Luo's eyes, but he had not yet spoken.
The fat man was already a little impatient and urged: "What do you think, Miss Third? Should you pay back the money, or should you invite the General and Prince Jing to come and talk?"
Immediately, everyone in the flower hall fixed their eyes on Yun Luo.
A few people who were watching the fun didn't mind it, and even started to make noises.
"Pay back the money, pay back the money, what are you talking about."
"If the General's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion are tied together, there won't be even ten thousand taels of gold, right?"
Many guests were a little flustered when they were first surrounded. Now that they knew it had nothing to do with them, they all looked at Yun Luo with gloating eyes.
What kind of person can be found hanging around a gambling house?
Everyone is a theatergoer.
Behind Yun Luo is leading the General's Mansion on one side, and Prince Jing's Mansion on the other. They all have high positions of authority.
Behind Qingyunfang is Zuoxiang's Mansion, which is connected to the Queen and the Prince of the Middle Palace, and has a higher status and power.
If these two parties come into conflict...hey!
That would be a really good show.
"Mother..."
Jun Buli has never encountered such an unreasonable thing before, and he brought it upon himself.
I felt angry and anxious for a while, with a sullen face and tears starting to flow.
"Chirp——!"
The little fox couldn't care less about his frustration and barked at Yun Luo angrily.
They are extortion, a group of robbers, and a black gambling shop!
