"Li...Yong...Yonganhou~!"
Yanhuang Bank.
Just when Li Yuanchang wanted to take the opportunity to run away, a cold voice drove him completely into the abyss!
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuanchang saw a person who often gave him nightmares striding in.
Who else could it be if not Li Zexuan?
Even though Li Yuanchang caused the evil slaves to cause trouble at the foot of Yunshan Mountain, Li Zexuan took action to deal with it, and then ran back to Li Yuan to complain. Li Yuan came late to have a son, and he was somewhat doting on a young son like Li Yuanchang. After hearing the news, he wanted to take his son's place. Get back the ground.
Unexpectedly, after Li Zexuan saw Li Yuan, not only was he not frightened to the point of kneeling down and begging for mercy, but he resolved the crisis in a few words and scared Li Yuanchang to the point of peeing in his pants!
Since then, Li Yuanchang found that Li Yuan didn't seem to be so fond of him. In the past, he could easily get money and people from Li Yuan, but now it is basically difficult to get them. This made Li Yuanchang feel very confused and frightened. Of course, For the man who caused all this - Li Zexuan, Li Yuanchang felt both resentment and fear in his heart!
After a few months, when he saw Li Zexuan again, the shadow of fear in Li Yuanchang's heart not only did not fade away, but became even thicker, so much so that he even stuttered when he spoke!
"Chief of the mountain!"
Seeing Li Zexuan arriving, Li Ke quickly stepped forward to say hello and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Li Zexuan nodded, then glanced at Li Yuanchang indifferently, and said: "His Royal Highness King Lu, it's been a long time! I didn't expect that the majestic King Lu would be interested in a mere fifteen hundred guan!"
After he returned from Chang'an City, he passed by the Yanhuang Bank in Lantian County. His heart moved and he wanted to come in and see how Li Ke was doing at the bank. He wanted to finish all the errands he had undertaken before going to the Xuanjia Army. Straighten it out, such as the workshop, such as Yanhuang Bank!
Once he goes to the military camp, he will have very little time to do these chores, so Li Zexuan will be busy running around these days!
He didn't expect that someone would embezzle public funds at Yanhuang Bank, and the person who embezzled public funds was the little bastard Li Yuanchang!
Li Ke could handle Li Min, but due to his seniority, he couldn't handle Li Yuanchang, so Li Zexuan came forward at this time!
Yanhuang Bank is basically equivalent to a modern bank, or even the central bank. It absolutely does not allow anyone to embezzle public funds, because this is not only irresponsible to the "shareholders" of the bank, but also irresponsible to the people who deposit their money in the bank. In addition, it would also be a blow to Tang Yuan's credibility in the entire Tang Dynasty. Li Zexuan was determined not to allow such a thing to happen.
"Wha...what one thousand five hundred guan? What are you talking about, Marquis Yong'an? I don't understand!"
Li Yuanchang's face turned pale and he still argued forcefully.
This is really a tough talk even when death is imminent!
Li Zexuan's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, Prince Lu, please don't pretend to be confused because you understand. Today, I will put my words here. If you don't explain clearly the way out for these 1,500 Guan, no one can even think about it." Leave! When the time comes, I will go to His Majesty or the Supreme Emperor for comment, or you may want to think about whether the distinguished nobles who have invested in Yanhuang Bank will let you go!"
At the end of the sentence, Li Zexuan's voice gradually turned cold, and both Li Yuanchang and Li Min couldn't help but shudder.
After a sudden change in his expression, Li Yuanchang said: "Isn't it just one thousand and five hundred Tang Yuan? I will send someone to return it to you when I get back! I originally borrowed this money from Mr. Song. I will return it all to you today. You can't do anything else in the future." Come to pester us!"
He finally figured it out. Instead of completely falling out with Li Zexuan and getting into a quarrel with Li Zexuan, it would be better to just bite the bullet and pay back the money. He knew in his heart that even if this matter came to his father, Li Yuan, he would definitely It's hard to get any favors, after all, he is unreasonable, and the shareholders of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce are all upstarts in the court. He has touched the interests of so many people, and Li Er can't spare him!
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Repaying debts is a matter of course. The money owed by His Highness Prince Lu should naturally be repaid, but where did the 1,500 Tang Yuan you borrowed earlier be used?"
When Li Yuanchang heard this, he said evasively: "You have nothing to do with this Marquis of Yong'an! Don't worry, I will send someone to send you the money as soon as I return to the palace!"
Li Zexuan said lightly: "Why can't I take care of it? I have to make sure that the fifteen hundred Tang Yuan is still there? In other words, I really doubt His Highness Prince Lu's ability to repay the debt!"
In Li Zexuan's impression, Li Yuanchang was still very rich, but when he thought that this little bastard came to the bank with Li Min to "extort" money, Li Zexuan was sure that this little bastard was not as prosperous as before. Otherwise, why would you do such a thing!
Li Yuanchang suddenly looked angry. He said angrily: "What a joke! It's only 1,500 Tang Yuan. I haven't taken it seriously yet. Marquis Yong'an, don't bully others too much!"
Li Zexuan sneered when he heard this: "Oh? Since His Highness King Lu is so wealthy, why did he come to the bank to ask for money from Mr. Song last month?"
"you..."
Li Yuanchang was immediately stunned and speechless.
Li Ke looked at Li Min at this time and said seriously: "Xiao Min, tell me the truth to Brother Wei, what did you do with the money? Otherwise, if you commit another crime in the future, Brother Wei will never tell your father for you. The emperor and his mother-in-law beg for mercy!”
Li Min had been shaken when he saw that the imperial uncle he relied on was completely suppressed by Li Zexuan. Now when he heard what Li Ke said, he could not bear it anymore and quickly grabbed Li Ke's arm. , said with a cry:
"Third brother! Third brother! I was wrong! I was wrong! Don't ignore me!"
"Li Min~!"
Seeing that Li Min was about to give in, Li Yuanchang was so anxious that he quickly shouted to stop!
"Hmm~? Your Highness, Prince Lu, please don't go too far!"
Li Zexuan said "Yeah" coldly.
Li Yuanchang had seen Li Zexuan's martial arts. Feeling the unkind look in his eyes, he quickly shrank his neck and did not dare to say another word.
Li Ke struck while the iron was hot: "Xiao Xin, if you tell me now, I can still help you. If you don't tell me, the mountain chief and I can find out on our own, but by then, no one can help you! Father and Emperor Neither can my mother and concubine!”
"Third brother! I said! I said!"
Li Min suddenly panicked, and he hurriedly said: "Last month, my uncle and I went gambling. We won more than two thousand dollars at first, but then we lost them all, even our own more than one thousand dollars. ! Later... Uncle Huang and I came up with an idea, which was to go to the owners of each team and tell them in advance that they must lose before the game. We would take the opportunity to buy the loss, and we would definitely make a lot of money!
But buying and selling also requires capital. At that time, the emperor's uncle and I lost all our belongings. Later, the emperor's uncle said that third brother, you are on duty at Yanhuang Bank, making money every day, and you are very rich, so I... came The banker came to see you, Third Brother. You happened to be away on May 15th, so I... I asked Mr. Song to borrow 500 guan! "
"Betting on the ball!"
When Li Ke heard this, his eyes widened in shock. He scolded with a face full of hatred: "It's just gambling, but you actually threaten the team owner to play match-fixing? Xiao Zhen, you are so brave~!"
Li Zexuan, who was standing beside him, could not help but become serious at this moment. He never expected that an incident of embezzlement of public funds would actually involve a series of major football corruption cases! And he also has another identity, that is, the chairman of the Datang Football Association, so he has to take care of this matter even more!
Li Yuanchang's face was ashen now, and he was already planning to break the jar, but he still looked at Li Min with angry eyes from time to time.
"Third brother, I... I didn't mean to do it. I just wanted to make some money for myself so that my mother-in-law wouldn't treat me like a child anymore. I also wanted to... buy some new clothes for my mother-in-law. New jewelry!”
Li Min said with a cry.
After hearing the second half of Li Min's words, Li Ke's cold eyes couldn't help but soften. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. If you use this method, no matter how much money you make, your brother and mother and concubine will look down on you. Mother and concubine will not want the clothes and shoes you bought with this ill-gotten wealth." Jewelry! In the palace, there are crises everywhere. My mother and concubine are cautious every day, for fear of getting into trouble, but you are lucky enough to do such a thing outside to smear my mother and concubine’s face. Do you still have the heart of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness!"
"Third brother, I was wrong! I was wrong!"
Li Min was so embarrassed by Li Ke that he could only keep admitting his mistakes.
Li Zexuan picked up the account book on the table next to him. With his mathematical attainments and mental arithmetic ability, he could naturally find the problems in the account book quickly. After a while, he looked at Li Min and asked:
"Sixth Prince, you withdrew 500 Tang Yuan and 300 Tang Yuan respectively from the bank on May 15th and May 20th. According to what you just said, you should be able to make a lot of money by threatening the team owner to engage in match-fixing. It was a small amount of money, but why did you withdraw 700 Tang Yuan all at once on May 28th? Could it be that you were still short of money at that time?"
Li Min knew that Li Ke respected Li Zexuan very much, but he did not dare to show off in front of Li Zexuan. After hearing this, he thought for a while and replied:
"It is naturally very profitable to let people play fake games, but the teams we found before are not very strong, and there are not many people who are optimistic about their victory, so the odds of them losing are very low. In the end, my uncle and I didn’t make much money either!
At the end of the month, Uncle Huang and I decided to do something big. We found the super strong team that was very popular this year - the Fenglei Team. Their young club's name was Zheng Qianjun. Uncle Huang and I revealed our identities to blackmail him. Allowing his team to lose on purpose against the Fire Wolves the next day. You must know that although the Fire Wolves are a Class A team, they are at the bottom of the Class A teams and are no match for the Fengling Team!
So when the time comes, there will definitely be many people betting on Team Fenglei to win, and if we bet on Team Wind and Thunder losing, we will be able to make a fortune in one fell swoop! "
"You mean, Zheng Qianjun promised you to play match-fixing?"
Li Zexuan's face darkened, he interrupted Li Min and asked.
Zheng Qianjun is a person that Li Zexuan values relatively. For the current results of the Fenglei team, not only 80% of Zheng Qianjun's contribution, but 50% to 60% is definitely there, so Li Zexuan arranged for him to be the tactical coach of the national team.
But if he really agreed to match-fixing with Li Min and Li Yuanchang, Li Zexuan would have to "act in accordance with the law" even if he was optimistic about Zheng Qianjun!
Li Min nodded and said: "At that time, the young master of the Fenglei Team did promise that we would lose to the Fire Wolves on purpose. In order to win more money, Uncle Huang and I went to the bank to ask Mr. Song for more money as our principal. , Mr. Song had no choice but to give us 700 strings~ under the common threat of my uncle and I!"
Li Zexuan's heart suddenly sank, and he said with an ugly face: "Then how much did you win in this game?"
Unexpectedly, Li Min said with a mournful face: "I didn't win a penny, I lost everything! That kid named Zheng is really not a thing. He promised us to lose on purpose the day before, but that day During the game, the players of the Fenglei team showed no sign of humility and beat the Fire Wolves 3-0, and we lost all the more than 2,000 yuan we had invested~!"
Li Zexuan was suddenly stunned, but there was a feeling of darkness in his heart. He asked again: "Are you saying that Zheng Qianjun promised you to play match-fixing on the surface, but secretly he did not instruct the players to lose on purpose?"
Li Min said depressedly: "Isn't it right?"
Seeing the aggrieved look on this kid's face, Li Zexuan suppressed a smile and said, "Then you didn't take revenge on him privately later?"
Li Min said angrily: "Why is there no revenge? After the game, my uncle and I took two guards to the Zheng family's house to find that bastard Zheng Qianjun, but the door of the Zheng family's house was closed tightly. No one opened the door no matter how hard we knocked. Zheng The door of our home is so strong that it cannot be opened even if it is hit with wood. In broad daylight, we cannot make the matter too big, so we can only send people to guard outside the Zheng Mansion. However, after guarding for so many days, nothing can be done. Zheng Qianjun was not caught!"
Li Zexuan nodded with "satisfaction" and said, "Well! You should be glad that you didn't catch Zheng Qianjun. If you had caught him and executed him, neither you nor King Lu would be able to escape!"
After that, he looked at Li Ke and said: "Xiao Ke, the two of them not only misappropriated the bank's public funds, but also secretly bribed the team to play match-fixing. This seriously violated the Datang Football Association's principles of fair and just competition. According to the regulations, they It should be transferred to Dali Temple, what do you think?"
"Yong'an Marquis, you... how dare you! My father will not let you go~!"
Hearing this, Li Yuanchang immediately panicked.
Li Min said with a look of fear: "Third brother! Third brother! Please help me! I don't want to go to Dali Temple! Father will definitely beat me to death if he finds out!"
Li Ke hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Zexuan and said: "Chief, Xiao Ming and the emperor's uncle did something wrong, but if the trouble comes to Dali Temple, my father's side... Can you please hand them over to me? I will report to my father and punish them by being grounded in the palace to reflect~!"
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay! I will give you a face today! But the first thing they want is to make up for the money that was embezzled from the bank, and the second thing is to give me the list of teams that played fake games! Third, they are prohibited from watching any matches held by the Datang Football Association in the future!"
