"Okay! Let's do it! Haha!"
Kang Anping whispered the idea in Zhang Han's ear, and Zhang Han immediately approved it.
"Since you agree, Lao Zhang, we will accompany you to perform this drama later...!"
Kang Anping nodded, and then showed a malicious smile, "Lao Zhang, we won't slander you. After the matter is completed, how about giving each of us three thousand gold?"
"What? Three thousand gold?"
Hearing this, Zhang Han immediately became angry and jumped up.
"You...you are just taking advantage of the situation!"
Each person has three thousand gold. If these five old guys add up, that's fifteen thousand gold.
This is not a small number!
In the past, it would have been enough for his salary for ten years!
"Lao Zhang, you can't say that. We are here to help you. If you don't want to, forget it!"
Seeing that he was angry, Kang Anping didn't have a good tone.
"Yes, we are acting with you here. If you don't want to, just get out of the way. Don't block us from going home for dinner!"
"Yes, yes, I'm so hungry that my chest is touching my back!"
The old guys immediately pushed Zhang Han's hand away and prepared to go back home.
As for the blocked carriage, just leave it there, since it’s not far ahead anyway!
It’s just a matter of taking a few extra steps!
"Zhang Shangshu, don't forget to send money to the prince when you come back!"
"Yes, just send it to Bieyuan, Yu Wenxuan will take notes!"
The old guys asked for too much money. Zhang Han felt distressed and let them leave.
Unexpectedly, a few old guys started shouting loudly when they walked to the door of Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Han heard the sound, took three steps and two steps at a time, and ran over quickly, "Shut up, shut up!"
"You old immortals, it's okay if you don't help, but you actually add insult to injury?"
"Let me tell you, people are doing it, and God is watching! It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge! Can you really guarantee that nothing will fall into my hands?"
Zhang Han gritted his teeth in hatred and clenched his fists tightly.
"Squeak..."
At this moment, the door of Zhang Mansion was suddenly opened.
The person who opened the door was none other than Zhang Han's wife, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, Mrs. Wang.
After the door opened, the veterans were also shocked.
What has Lao Zhang given his wife to eat recently?
Why do you look a lot fatter than last time?
If it falls down, they won't know where to help!
"Lao Zhang, why didn't you come in when you came back?"
I don’t know what Wang is doing, but she is actually holding a cane in her hand. With her sturdy body, she is really eye-catching. No wonder Lao Zhang is afraid of her to death.
"Hey! Isn't this my sister-in-law? But I haven't seen you for a few days...?"
Kang Anping took the initiative to say hello very enthusiastically, "Sister-in-law is really diligent. Are you holding the cane to dry the quilt?"
When he mentioned the word "rattan", he deliberately emphasized his tone, for fear that Zhang Han wouldn't see it.
"No way! Some of the servants at home took advantage of their break to start gambling in the concierge! Such bad habits must not be tolerated. No, I am teaching them a lesson!"
As Wang said this, he held the cane and gestured twice towards the courtyard door.
It's okay not to say it, but as soon as he said it, Zhang Han's face turned pale instantly, and his whole body began to tremble slightly!
"By the way, what did you just say about prince? What about sending money?"
Mrs. Wang was cleaning up a few servants in the courtyard and didn't hear what they said clearly. She only heard the words "Prince" and "Send money", so she opened the door to find out.
"Oh! That's what happened...!"
Just as Kang Anping was about to speak, Zhang Han was startled, rushed over and covered his mouth.
"Lao Zhang, what do you mean?"
His action undoubtedly meant that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, and it was obvious that the matter was related to him.
Mrs. Wang also noticed it and raised her eyes to ask.
When she raised her eyes, she was really no different from the eye-catching white-fronted tiger in the mountains.
The other veterans couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
God treats them well. Not only does it allow them to hold high positions and have no worries about food and clothing, it also allows them to marry a good wife and have a happy family!
If they married such a person, they might even want to die!
At the same time, they really sympathized with Zhang Han.
How did Lao Zhang get here after all these years?
"No...no...nothing!"
Zhang Han lowered his head guiltily and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Don't look at him being lively and extremely shrewd outside.
But when he was in front of his wife, he immediately became scared!
I am so cowardly that I can no longer be cowardly!
"Then when I just asked you to send money to the prince, why were you panicking?"
Even though Wang is tall and thick, she is definitely not stupid, especially when observing Zhang Han, she can tell what every change in expression means.
"No...no...I'm not panicking!"
Zhang Han pretended to be calm and straightened his back.
But the more he behaved like this, the more Wang felt something was wrong. After rolling her eyes at him, she looked at Kang Anping and others, "Shang Shu, I wonder what you were talking about just now? Why did my Lao Zhang give money to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Looking at Zhang Han's various behaviors, she guessed that the matter must be related to his old Zhang.
Coupled with the few sentences I heard before, when combined together, it should be his Zhang Han who wants to send money to the prince for some reason!
"Zhang Shangshu, can we...speak?"
Kang An was always afraid that he was not dead, so he deliberately looked around and lowered his voice to ask.
It's like he did something shameful!
Almost at the same time, other veterans looked at him with doubts on their faces.
Zhang Han was suddenly sweating profusely, and his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.
People who have never experienced it personally cannot feel the fear he felt at this time!
"Yes... of course... we can! Aren't we just going to invest in His Royal Highness the Prince's telegraph machine business? We need to pay some money. Is there anything we can't tell you?"
There was really no other way, so Zhang Han had no choice but to adopt the bad idea Kang Anping had just given.
Ask him to lie and claim that he can make a lot of money in the future by investing in the telegraph machine, and directly ask for 50,000 gold.
Ten thousand gold was sent to Bieyuan to plug the hole where today's bet was made.
Give another fifteen thousand gold to these people.
The remaining 25,000 gold can be reserved as private money, and you will have more money in the future!
"Business? Telegraph?"
Wang frowned and looked at Kang Anping and others in confusion.
Seeing Zhang Han's submission, several old guys grinned and nodded, "Sister-in-law, what Lao Zhang said is right, it is indeed the case! His Royal Highness has just developed a new machine that can transmit sounds thousands of miles away...!"
Kang Anping and others walked towards Zhang's Mansion while explaining to Wang the function of the telegraph machine and the results of the experiment.
"Sister-in-law, guess what? The few big characters sent back from outside the city are exactly the same as those written by His Majesty. There is no difference in every word. Do you think it is powerful?"
He was about to earn three thousand gold. Kang Anpingle couldn't close his mouth and explained the affairs of the court to the Wang family in a rhetorical manner.
Of course, he directly skipped the part about betting when using people's money to eliminate disasters!
After all, this is not a glorious thing, and it will bring no glory to them if they tell it!
