Fang Mansion was brightly lit and very lively.
Although the host, Fang Yu, was not here, Fang Yu also arranged for someone to accompany him, and these "gods of wealth" were quite happy.
When Chu Ze and his party arrived, they were playing games in the yard.
Looking at the group of people who suddenly arrived, the "gods of wealth" were stunned for a moment.
The next second, they calmed down.
Because Fang Yu and Lin Bingcheng appeared.
Fang Yu walked up to them with a bright smile and pointed at Chu Ze and others one by one.
The "gods of wealth" widened their eyes in surprise and hurriedly knelt down to receive the gift. They also reported their names and origins in order to show their faces in front of these big shots and gain a sense of presence.
Chu Ze stepped forward and helped them up.
"I heard from Mr. Fang that you all brought a total of 60,000 taels of silver when you came this time, but are you serious?" Chu Ze asked.
Several "gods of wealth" nodded repeatedly: "Of course it is true. Xiaomin Kong has some property and has always wanted to do something for the people of the country, but there is no way. I heard rumors this time that Mr. Chu and his two highnesses are here to raise funds. Silver to repair the West Lake. This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. We came here uninvited and brought a little bit of silver with us. I hope your lord and your two highnesses will not find it objectionable."
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. You came too timely. Don't worry, we will report all your righteous deeds to the emperor." Chu Ze patted their shoulders happily.
Upon hearing this, several people immediately had the same expression as Fang Yu.
Just like the one carved in the same cabinet, with a wide grin and a pair of eyes bent into a line with laughter.
Chu Ze turned his head and looked at Fang Yu: "Take them all out so that the Imperial Preceptor will have some eyesight."
Fang Yu nodded.
Within a moment, several silver boxes were carried out.
Chu Ze turned his head, looked at Kang Cheng and said, "The Imperial Master has taken a look." He raised his hand and opened the lid of a box, revealing the neatly arranged silver underneath.
The snow-white grained silver shines dazzlingly under the candlelight.
Kang Cheng's pupils shrank.
Chu Ze opened all the boxes with a roar.
There were twenty large boxes, all filled with silver.
The pure grained silver is stamped with the government's mark.
Chu Ze pointed to the silver and said to Kang Cheng, "Does the Imperial Master believe it now?"
"Do not believe!"
Kang Cheng almost squeezed these two words out from between his teeth.
He strode over to the box and began rummaging through it.
Chu Ze didn’t stop him either.
Didn't he just feel that he was cheating?
Then let him take a good look at whether he has cheated, and let him take a good look at whether the boxes contain one hundred thousand taels.
After he finished reading it, it was time for Chu Ze to show off.
Chu Ze waited quietly, and the only sound in the yard was the sound of turning silver.
After a while, Kang Cheng stood aside silently.
One hundred thousand taels, indeed one hundred thousand taels.
Not one point more, not one point less.
It's all here.
He...lost.
It's over.
I can't get the wrench back.
There are no more mines.
Now that he is going back, how will he face the king?
At that time, he swore a guarantee that there would be no problem.
But something went wrong at the end.
Kang Cheng's body went limp.
If the boy hadn't supported him, he would have fallen directly to the ground.
Chu Ze glanced at him mockingly and stepped forward to gloat: "Master Kang, don't be too sad. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. But I have to give you this bet. You don't know, we made this bet with you, but You have put your own head on the line. If you can’t get your bet back, our emperor will not only chop off my head when he gets angry, but maybe even you, the Imperial Master, will be implicated."
When the boy heard Chu Ze's words, he shouted angrily: "Chu Ze, don't bully others too much!"
"Hey, what you said is wrong. Our master took back what belongs to him, so why did he go too far to deceive others?" Zhao Si was not a good person either.
As soon as the boy opened his mouth, he automatically took up the conversation.
In his opinion, even if this boy is powerful, he is just a servant.
It's the same as him.
What qualifications do you have to talk to your master?
If you have anything to say, tell him first.
Chu Ze gave Zhao Si a "well done" look, and continued to say to Kang Cheng: "Of course, we also believe that you, the Imperial Master, must not be carrying these things with you, and we are not in a hurry. You can give them to you tomorrow morning. That’s all we can do. The Imperial Master is also a big shot after all, so don’t default on your debt.”
The word "oh" had a profound meaning, and Kang Cheng's expression changed moment by moment.
He gritted his teeth, took out two mine title deeds from his arms, stuffed them into Chu Ze's arms, and strode away.
Chu Ze unfolded the paper and after seeing the contents clearly, he immediately laughed and said loudly: "Kang Guoshi is true to his word, Chu Ze admires him! Then please trouble Kang Guoshi to make arrangements after returning to Ryukyu, and wait until we report to the emperor. Ryukyu takes over our mines!"
Kang Cheng left faster.
Chu Ze kept the contract and asked people to remove all the money and deliver it to Liu Jing.
"Mr. Fang, gentlemen, we can win this time thanks to your great help. I will never forget this. But now we have something to do, so Mr. Fang will entertain you on our behalf. The account will be kept in our heads. Enter. Thank you, farewell." Chu Ze led the people away and asked Bai Qingwen about his current situation on the way.
Zhu Xi doesn’t know either.
He only had Bai Qingwen sent to the hospital, but he didn't know whether he could be saved or not.
Chu Ze directly changed his route to the medical clinic.
The hatred in the hearts of the people did not disappear, and they all asked to go to the hospital together.
Chu Ze was afraid that they would make trouble, so he took the lead in giving them a vaccination: "Dear fellow villagers, we know that everyone hates Bai Qingwen, in fact we hate him too. But now Bai Qingwen cannot die, we have to publicly try him in the lobby , Give everyone justice. When everyone goes, please be sure to stay calm, Chu Ze is here to ask for your instructions."
The people said one after another: "Don't worry, sir, we will not make things difficult for you."
"Yes, a person like Bai Qingwen should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. Letting him die like this would be too easy for him!"
"Yes, on the day of execution, we must watch him die with our own eyes!"
Chu Ze felt relieved after hearing this.
He rushed to the hospital with his people.
The doctor at the medical center told Chu Ze that Bai Qingwen was destined to be lucky.
Kang Cheng's knife missed the target slightly, but it saved his life.
Now that he has taken the medicine, as long as he wakes up and takes care of himself for a while, he will be fine.
Chu Ze's heart, which had been holding on, suddenly relaxed.
He invited all the people back, and he had to lead people to search their homes.
The Bai Mansion was empty after Bai Qingwen left with the money, and all the servants fled.
Including Lao Feng.
When Chu Ze took the people there, they only raided an empty house.
Nothing at all.
Chu Ze thought for a while and said: "Yongle actually led people to blockade all the docks. Brother, you and your people immediately controlled Shen Nan, took over the local government office, and then immediately mobilized troops to investigate several major families who have close ties with Bai Qingwen, and others Come with us to raid the rabbit nest. Be quick, otherwise they will run away if you are too late!"
Everyone: "Yes!"
