Xiao Ming was so angry that his lips trembled, and he glared at Fang Jun angrily: "You, you, you, you are so shameless! It's obvious that you got a boatload of iron ingots to deceive us in advance, but now you want us to take them Six hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Fang Jun snorted: "I'm warning you, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense!" As he said that, he pointed to the pile of iron ingots behind him: "The physical evidence is here, and there are witnesses who are descendants of the Lu family in Jiangdong. There are officials from the Japanese Kingdom who came to Datang to purchase, and there are all the witnesses and material evidence. You still want to deny it? Bring all the people who come to the warship!"
When soldiers rushed up, three or two of them were picked up like little chickens with their arms crossed, and brought back to the Five-Tooth Battleship.
The servants who escorted the Japanese ship back looked blankly at the iron ingots in the cabin, looking at each other in confusion.
Where's the promised silver?
The navy soldiers beat and kicked them all away and sealed the scene. This was the most important "evidence"...
Back on the battleship, the eldest grandson shouted at the top of his lungs: "Fang Er, you are bullying me too much! Do you really think that my eldest grandson's family is easy to bully? Just wait for me, I must make you look good!"
The soldier behind him went up and kicked Changsun Man until he was bitten in the mud, and cursed: "If you dare to speak rudely again, believe it or not, I will kill you?"
The eldest grandson was about to explode with anger. The dignified young master of the eldest grandson family was being humiliated by ant-like soldiers one after another. It was simply unbearable... but he had to endure it! These soldiers were probably the main force who followed Fang Jun in the bloody battle at Niuzhuji. Now they all regard Fang Jun as a god and follow his words. Even if Fang Jun asks them to kill him, they will never frown!
Moreover, such brave and brave soldiers must be regarded as forbidden by Fang Jun. This is the loyal fighting force that they can only seek. Even if he wants to take revenge in other ways, Fang Jun will never allow it.
If you really piss off these soldiers, you may not dare to kill yourself, but you will definitely have no scruples about being humiliated in various ways...
Changsun was a smart man. Although he was so angry that he wanted to bite the soldier to death, he could only close his mouth tightly and glared at Fang Jun fiercely. If eyes could kill, Fang Jun would have been killed long ago. Too late...
Fang Jun swaggered back to his seat, reached out and touched the teapot. It was already cold, so he ordered the soldiers to boil another pot of water: "Boil some hot water, and prepare some cakes, such as mince honey cake, jujube paste sesame cake and so on." Come here, everyone. After everyone has eaten and drank, we will also discuss and settle the money matter. Then everyone will go back to his home and find his own mother. Wouldn’t everyone be happy?"
Xiao Ming said helplessly: "I wonder how Lord Marquis wants to solve it?"
He finally figured it out. Fang Jun designed this trap in a series of steps. His purpose was not only to get all the stolen goods from them, but also to peel off a layer of their skin! The current situation is like this. Fang Jun really has all the witnesses and physical evidence. Even if this matter is brought to Dali Temple for a lawsuit, it will be a mess.
If you should bow your head, then bow your head...
Fang Jun seemed to find Xiao Ming's words strange, and said in surprise: "Do you still need to ask? This matter is not how I want to solve it, but there is only one way to solve it - give all the money you took from me to me Just return it. You all know that the money belongs to Your Majesty. If I lose it, wouldn't it be a waste of grace and a failure in doing things? The most important thing is that we can't afford to lose this person! Again, as long as I will give you a lot of money when you return the money, so let's forget the past. These two brothers will still be good friends in the future. But if you refuse to return it and let me sit on the wax, then you can't blame me for being unkind..."
Xiao Ming, Changsun Man, and Zhu Qu were each dumbfounded. How could they repay 600,000 taels of silver?
Changsun said angrily: "Absolutely impossible! It's obviously just a pile of iron ingots, why do you want us to pay back the money?"
Fang Jun spread his hands: "Who told you to drive away the silver boat? You drove away the silver boat, and now that the money is gone, who should I ask for if not you?"
Changsun Man felt a gloomy energy gathering in his chest. He almost rolled his eyes and fainted. He said angrily, "If I don't repay you, what will happen to you? If you have the guts, you can really chop me off. You raised your eyebrows!"
Fang Jun pretended to sigh: "If this money belongs to me, we will treat it as a delivery friend, and you can take it and spend it. But this money belongs to your majesty, and I can't make the decision. As for killing, Of course I can't bear to do this, but if you insist on not paying it back, I have no choice but to escort you to the capital and attach personal and material evidence for your Majesty to make a decision. After all, the money belongs to your Majesty, and how to deal with it is also your Majesty's business. However, His Majesty has always been magnanimous and regards money as dirt, so maybe I won’t forgive you..."
The three people were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Your Majesty is magnanimous?
That's just for you eagle and dog minions, and for us Jiangnan nobles, you can't wait to kill them all to relieve your anger!
Your Majesty regards money as dung?
It might have been true in the past, but after all, he was a great person and rich all over the world. But things are very different now. His Majesty the Emperor, who is thinking about preparing for the Eastern Expedition, probably has two eyes in the shape of copper coins now, and he wants to grab a handful of Tudu to drink water...
If this comes to the capital, how can it be better?
I have to shed my skin even if I don't die...
If the eldest grandson is a descendant of the eldest grandson's family, the crime will be increased!
You are a relative of the emperor, but now you are uniting with the Jiangnan nobles to secretly poach His Majesty the Emperor behind his back. What do you want to do? Was it your own idea, or did your eldest grandson family unanimously give you the order to do this?
What do your eldest grandsons want to do?
Changsun's face turned pale, and he was almost certain that as soon as he returned to Chang'an, his insidious uncle Changsun Wuji would sell him out as a surrender certificate, and even chop off his head with his own hands and give it to the emperor to show his loyalty...
This matter was discovered in Jiangnan, and there was still a way to survive.
If we get to Chang'an, it will be a dead end...
Young Master Changsun didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. He looked crestfallen and dejected, and said calmly: "I will definitely not be able to get out this much money..."
Fang Jun said in a polite manner: "If you don't have silver, copper coins will do, or gold will do, but I didn't say you must have silver."
Chang Sunman almost choked to death!
Asshole, that's not the point, okay?
It’s not a question of money or gold. The question is, with so much money, where can I raise it all at once? I also know that copper coins can be used as well as gold, but copper coins are more expensive than silver, so gold is more expensive, okay...
Nowadays, copper is expensive and silver is cheap. The value of 600,000 copper coins is comparable to 700,000 taels of silver. If it were exchanged for gold, it would be more than 10% more expensive. Will Fang Jun let them pay 600,000 taels of silver with more than 500,000 copper coins according to the market price?
Even thinking about it, it is impossible to agree.
Wang Yu'an, who had been frightened all the time, swallowed his saliva and summoned up the courage to ask: "Master Hou... Well, the Wang family is in ruins and really can't afford this much money..."
Ever since he boarded the Japanese ship and saw that the silver that should have been white flowers suddenly turned into iron ingots, Wang Yu'an's heart has been hanging in the air. Fang Jun played this skill very smoothly, and it was obvious that he wanted to peel off a layer of skin, but if the average of 600,000 taels and four families were averaged, each family would cost 150,000 taels!
The Zhu family, the Xiao family, and the eldest son's family are rich and powerful, and a comparison of such a huge amount of money will inevitably break their muscles and bones, let alone the already dilapidated Wang family?
As a Jiangnan nobleman, he didn't have a family worth more than a hundred thousand yuan, but Fang Jun wanted cash! The Wang family may only be able to get the money by selling pots and cleaning up the properties and houses left by their ancestors.
But in this case, what is the difference between the Wang family and the prodigal family?
Wang Yu'an also gave up her pride at this moment, thinking that no matter what, we have abandoned the dark side and turned to your side, so I should give you a discount at least, right? Even if someone else’s puppy comes up to you and wag its tail, you still have to reward it with a bone...
Seeing Wang Yu'an's pitiful look with pleading eyes, Fang Jun suppressed a smile and pretended to be surprised: "Brother Wang, are you confused? You have been with me since we boarded the ship. Naturally, you don't care about the silver ship." You may know. Since you are not involved, how can I ask you to pay back the money? Every wrong has its owner, and everyone is responsible for what they do. This matter has nothing to do with you. The three of them will come up with the money. I am a sensible person. People like me always convince others with their virtue, so Brother Wang can rest assured."
Is this the reward for "forsaking darkness and turning to light"?
Wang Yu'an burst into tears, "Master Hou, you are too particular..."
