Seeing that all the people were bribed, Xia Lingxuan also saw a trace of amusement flash in the eyes of the fourth prince.
Even though Xia Lingxuan spent a lot of money to buy this piece of land, wouldn't it eventually return to the hands of the fourth prince?
The person behind the scenes had already made a foolproof plan, hoping that Xia Lingxuan would be found, but the corners of Xia Lingxuan's lips raised slightly, making an arc.
Xia Lingxuan turned his head again, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then there was a melancholy under his eyebrows.
"Since the people's wishes are what they want, I, the Crown Prince, cannot stand in the way."
Seeing Xia Lingxuan relaxed, the smile on the fourth prince's face became even stronger.
"It's just that my Highness's money is really tight these days! It would take at least 500 taels of gold to bear the pain of parting with me."
Compared with the silver spent before, this gold is even more valuable now.
Xia Lingxuan, who was sitting on the ground and raising his price, opened his mouth and the melancholy on his face became more intense. On the contrary, the smile on the fourth prince's face stopped abruptly.
A second ago, she thought Xia Lingxuan was enlightened, but then she realized that Xia Lingxuan seemed to be intentionally digging a hole for herself.
The fourth prince pursed his lips and smiled, his face darkened, and a black air enveloped his entire face, darker than the ashes at the bottom of the pot.
Five hundred taels of gold was not a small sum, and now that Xia Lingxuan was asking for it, he had no choice but to agree.
A little impatience will mess up a big plan. To ensure the smooth execution of the plan, it is worthwhile to spend some gold.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been trying to increase revenue and reduce expenditure recently, but it is inevitable that he will not have much cash on hand after buying the land. Since His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to bear the pain and give up, why can't I give you five hundred taels of gold?"
The fourth prince raised his chin proudly, unable to hide the confidence in his eyes.
This immediately made Xia Lingxuan's lips curl up. He knew that people like him had to save face and stand tall in front of many people, and even more so, they had to be generous in front of Xia Lingxuan.
But Xia Lingxuan narrowed his eyes, his interest was overturned and he was surprised at that moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Not only have I spent a lot of money on buying land these days, many valuable things in the East Palace have been sold by my Highness a few days ago. Now the East Palace is even more empty. It's not a good life for the prince. I wonder if the fourth brother If you want to be considerate of your brothers and sisters, why don't you give me five thousand taels?"
Xia Lingxuan deliberately played the emotional card, which shocked many people. Unexpectedly, Xia Lingxuan not only raised the price, but also wanted the fourth prince to pay for it for him.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the fourth prince was a little surprised.
"Did His Highness the Crown Prince talk about gold or silver?"
Even though he had the money, he couldn't empty out his coffers just for a piece of land.
"Look at what my fourth brother said, you are a cultivator of immortality, and you are even more detached. Do you still put these gold and silver in your eyes in everything? They are already external possessions. Of course, your highness is talking about gold."
Normally, the fourth prince focuses on Qingliu characters, but now Xia Lingxuan is pursuing the victory and has increased the price to 5,000 taels of gold.
The people were whispering among themselves, and the fourth prince could only reluctantly agree.
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has said so, let's make the deal!"
Just when he thought everything would go smoothly, Xia Lingxuan sighed.
"But these days, I have built a paper-making factory. The investment is indeed quite large, so naturally I need more money for turnover. Since the fourth brother is generous, let's give it a fixed price of 50,000 taels!"
Hearing this, even if the fourth prince was calm, he was causing a stir at this moment.
Ye Ziliang, who was standing aside, also had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that Xia Lingxuan had no bottom line. He confiscated the money at the beginning, but now he can sell it for a hundred times the price.
The people around were also surprised and speechless. They could not believe that a piece of land with bad feng shui could be sold for 50,000 taels of gold.
"This is not worth 50,000 taels of gold no matter how you look at it. Isn't the prince deliberately entertaining people?"
"We are all a group of common people dressed in coarse linen. How do we know whether the royal heirs are really rich?"
"Seeing that the fourth prince is dressed very extravagantly, he doesn't look like a man without money!"
The few words spoken by the common people made the corners of the fourth prince's mouth twitch, and even his eyelids kept twitching.
He originally wanted to suppress Xia Lingxuan, but he didn't realize that now he could only grit his teeth and agree.
"His Royal Highness, you are too open-mouthed, aren't you? My entire fourth prince's palace can't afford fifty thousand taels of gold. Where do you want me to get it for you?"
Although he can't spend so much money, it doesn't mean that his wealth is not rich enough.
"If you don't have enough cash, you can exchange it for the same price. I heard that you have a batch of expensive porcelain, and some are immortal products transported from Penglai Immortal Island. I wonder if you are willing to give me some silver? "
Xia Lingxuan smiled slightly, but his eyes were full of excitement.
The fourth prince has worked hard over the years but has accumulated a lot of wealth. He has countless furniture in his hands. I am afraid that the national treasury is not as rich as him.
After testing for a long time, he finally found out the confidence of the fourth prince. At this time, the fourth prince gritted his teeth. It took a lot of effort to bring those things back.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little too greedy. The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant. Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understand this truth?"
But Xia Lingxuan sneered, and then a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, showing no intention of teasing him just now.
"Things are rare and valuable. Since this piece of land is not worth the price in the eyes of the Fourth Prince, I won't sell it!"
Xia Lingxuan had no intention of selling this land at all. He just wanted to take this opportunity to explore the fourth prince's bottom line. Knowing that the other prince had so much money would be convenient for him in the future.
But thinking about the many treasures that the other party had obtained before, Xia Lingxuan's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing. Sooner or later, these unknown things would be taken away.
At the same time, Xia Lingxuan only felt a beeping sound coming from the system.
Just when he was confused, the system prompts a flash of surprise in Xia Lingxuan's eyes.
[Dip, dig the land to get mysterious items. 】
[Task Difficulty: Easy]
[Reward: Mysterious item excavated (unknown)]
This was the first time for such a mysterious mission, which immediately aroused Xia Lingxuan's interest.
"What kind of mission is this? Could it be that the things dug out from underneath are treasures? But there are no details of rewards at any level. Aren't you trying to make things up?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Xia Lingxuan's eyes, and he patiently asked the system. This was the first time that the system showed off in front of Xia Lingxuan.
[This mission requires the host to explore by himself, and the mysterious reward needs to be unlocked by the affairs team. 】
Suddenly, Xia Lingxuan's eyes flashed with joy, and he seemed to be very interested.
He waved his hand and then stood in front of all the people, sitting upright without any amusement.
