It's just that Gongsunhe couldn't get angry at Ji Lie, so he could only look at the servants in the house fiercely,
"What exactly is going on?"
A servant came forward and told Gongsun He what happened in a low voice.
After hearing this, Gongsunhe looked uncertain.
He didn't expect that Ji Lie would sneak out of the mansion, and what he didn't expect even more was that Ji Lie would meet and have a conflict with his son Gongsun Qing!
This time it's a bit tricky.
Although Ji Lie has no real power, in the final analysis, he is of the blood of the Emperor and the vassal king of Youdi!
If this matter were brought to the court, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of trouble for the Gongsun family!
"Quinzi didn't know the identity of the prince, so this caused some unpleasantness. It's really a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Gongsunhe laughed and tried to expose the matter.
"If it's just a matter of jealousy, I won't care."
Ji Lie said calmly,
"But your master made arrogant remarks, saying that your Gongsun family is the king's law."
"After Guocheng arrived, he was going to skin me without any hesitation."
"Your Gongsun family is so prestigious. Could it be that this Great Xia Dynasty is named Gongsun?"
As soon as these words came out, Gongsunhe's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head and said,
"Your Majesty's words are serious, I don't dare to lower my rank!"
Ji Lie ignored him, but looked at Zhang Changde aside and asked coldly,
"What is the crime of intending to harm the feudal lord?"
Zhang Changde showed a knowing smile and said loudly,
"Reporting to the prince, the Yi tribe should be punished for treason!"
"Did Guocheng hear it?"
Ji Lie said with a faint smile.
"The official heard it."
Gongsun He looked panicked on the surface, but he was a little impatient in his heart.
With the ability of his Gongsun family, they will naturally not be defeated by the Yi clan.
But Ji Lie was so unwilling to give up, which made Gongsunhe quite angry.
What on earth does this idiot prince want to do?
"However, considering that your young master is young and ignorant, and it is his first offense, this matter is not worth mentioning to my father and the court..."
Ji Lie changed the topic, which made Gongsunhe a little confused again.
"It's better than this. Guocheng will pay Gu a sum of money for mental damages and let the matter be dropped."
Although he didn't understand what mental damage compensation was, Gongsun He finally understood that Ji Lie wanted to rip him off!
However, the Gongsun family has a big business, so it would be most appropriate to spend money to settle this matter!
"May I ask how much silver the prince wants?"
Gongsunhe said tentatively.
"Thirty thousand taels!"
Ji Lie stretched out a slap.
You are so dark!
Gongsun He complained in his heart, but on the outside he put on a smile.
"It can make the prince angry, let alone thirty thousand taels, even fifty thousand taels is no problem!"
"Since Guocheng is so polite, let's give it fifty thousand taels!"
Ji Lie squinted at Gongsun Hedao.
Gongsunhe was stunned immediately and wished he could slap himself.
If I had known that Ji Lie was so shameless, why would I have said so many words?
"...Okay, I will order someone to prepare now!"
Gongsunhe squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
Just like that, Ji Lie's words cost Gongsunhe another twenty thousand taels!
As expected of the wealthy Gongsun family, Gongsun He gave an order to go down, and in less than a moment of burning incense, a carriage arrived with money.
Ji Lie ordered Zhang Changde to make an inventory, and after confirming that the number was correct, he ordered Gongsun Qing to be released.
"It's getting late. Your Majesty, please go back and rest. Your Majesty has also gone back with his dog."
Gongsun He bowed to Ji Lie, then turned and left with Gongsun Qing.
"Master Gongsun, please don't be impulsive again. Today is the punishment for impulsiveness."
Ji Lie smiled.
Gongsun Qing's back staggered and he almost fell to the ground.
But he didn't dare to look back and followed Gongsunhe and disappeared at the end of the long street.
"Let's go, let's retreat too!"
Ji Lie greeted everyone with satisfaction.
…
"Dad, with the power of our Gongsun family, why do we need to be angry with that idiot prince?"
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Gongsun Qing said angrily.
"You have the nerve to speak up. If it weren't for you, how could this happen today?"
Gongsunhe glared at his son and scolded him coldly,
"From today on, you will be confined at home. You are not allowed to go out without my order!"
When Gongsun Qing heard this, his eyes widened.
"father……"
"Why don't you take him down quickly!"
Gongsunhe yelled at the servant outside the door.
Several servants did not dare to neglect and quickly entered the lobby and dragged Gongsun Qing out.
When there was no one in the lobby, Gongsun He let out a long sigh.
As the Prime Minister of the country, he controlled the power of the fiefdom.
Let alone suppressing Ji Lie, killing Ji Lie is not impossible.
But Gongsunhe didn't want to go to that step unless he had to.
After all, Ji Lie was the vassal king of the Great Xia Dynasty. If he died, it would be a big trouble if the court sent someone to investigate.
Whether his son Gongsun Qing was humiliated or lost fifty thousand taels of silver, it was nothing to Gongsun He.
What really shocked him was the words and methods Ji Lie showed today.
He doesn't look like a fool at all, more like a cunning fox!
If he had known this, he should not have taken the initiative to go to the palace to test Ji Lie after receiving the news.
Forget it, we can only wait for the arrival of the new palace master.
Gongsun He made up his mind to endure it for now and talk about it later.
…
Although he couldn't sleep with the brothel girl today, Ji Lie was still happy after extorting 50,000 taels of silver.
Back at the house, Ji Lie was also extremely generous. With a wave of his hand, he once again rewarded Zhang Changde and others with a sum of money.
Holding the silver in their hands, Zhang Changde and others smiled happily.
They only followed Ji Lie for two trips, and they got a lot of money. Are they still not allowed to take off in the future?
As for the palace guards who were unable to accompany Ji Lie, their faces were full of envy, jealousy and hatred!
After Ji Lie asked Xiu'er to put the money away, he hugged her contentedly and fell asleep.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Ji Lie had just gotten up and started exercising when he heard that Laifu came to report that it was Yang Dehou who wanted to see him.
"I've seen the prince!"
"Dr. Yang, why are you here so early in the morning?"
Ji Lie said with a smile.
"My lord, I'm afraid something is going to happen..."
Yang Dehou sighed and said nervously.
"Why did Mr. Yang say this?"
Ji Lie frowned and asked softly.
"Did the prince have a conflict with the Gongsun family last night?"
"Yes, this is indeed the case."
Ji Lie was not surprised that Yang Dehou knew about this.
After all, Youzhou City is such a big place, and Yang Dehou makes a living as a broker, so it is normal for him to be well-informed.
"My lord, you don't know that the Gongsun family is not someone to be trifled with!"
"So what? Could it be that they still dare to kill Gu Bucheng?"
Ji Lie smiled nonchalantly.
"My lord, you must not be careless, the Gongsun family is really capable of doing such a thing!"
Yang Dehou said with a serious expression.
