Because this decision requires the consent of all the uncles in the Gu family.
Gu Chengye walked into the inner hall and kept pacing.
"The King of War Lion opened his mouth and took out five million taels of silver at once. Who can do it?" Chen Shan couldn't help complaining, "Even if all the silver in the bank account is cashed out, it's not enough."
Gu Chengye snorted coldly: "What do you know? The more the War King opens his mouth like a lion, the more at ease I feel."
The more greedy a person is, the easier it is to be bribed.
If he can bargain easily, it only proves that the King of War is not strong in desire and ambition. Instead, he has to wonder whether this is an expedient measure on his part.
It's just that five million taels of silver are really difficult to get.
The Gu family has a great business. In addition to the unknown "family inheritance" hidden in the secret vault, the other cash is used to manage the relationships between various parties and expand the industry. There are also some that exist in major bank accounts. In fact, the exchange of money It's not difficult, but the difficulty is that ten days is simply not enough.
Five million taels, how many people will be needed just to count?
"Mr. Chen, please take out some of the money stored in the ticket number." Gu Chengye turned around and said, "When the Gu family matter is over, I will return it to you plus 20%."
Chen Shan's face changed slightly and he hesitated: "I... I don't have much money in the bank account. I can barely make up fifty thousand taels. If there is more, I... I'm afraid there's nothing I can do..."
"Fifty thousand taels, that's it." Gu Chengye turned around and walked out, "The King of War only gave me ten days, how can I collect so much money in ten days?"
Chen Shan's expression changed and he quickly followed up: "But I don't have that much -
"Go find Gu Yilan and Yuan Xinheng." Gu Chengye said coldly, "If something happens to the Gu family, they should contribute."
Shuozhou, Jizhou and Liancheng are all related to Qi Lianzhi, and the benefits are never given to any one person. As his mother's nephew and cousin, Yuan Xinheng has enjoyed a lot of benefits over the years.
At a time of life and death for the Gu family, they were asked to spend money to buy their lives, and they had no room to refuse.
Chen Shan followed closely behind Gu Chengye: "Commander Yuan is in Liancheng. Even if I send someone there now, it will still take three or four days to go back and forth. If they refuse cruelly, wouldn't it delay things even more?"
Hearing this, Gu Chengye suddenly slowed down his steps.
He turned to look at Chen Shan thoughtfully: "You were right just now. It is impossible to collect five million taels of silver in a short time."
Chen Shan nodded involuntarily: "Yes."
Gu Chengye thought for a while: "I will stay here for one night and send the War King away tomorrow. You write a letter and send someone to Liancheng to Yuan Xinheng, saying that I want to talk to him."
"good."
"Besides, Xu Teng's side——"
"Xu Teng is really bad." Chen Shan quickly interrupted him, "The money that Xu Teng embezzled has been recorded in the account book, and the account book has been handed over to the capital. His money must be escorted back to the capital. It is impossible for the King of War to agree."
Gu Chengye frowned: "Xu Teng didn't leave any backup plan?"
"Xu Teng's home was ransacked, and I took the people there myself." Chen Shan felt guilty, his eyes evasive, "Before, you said you wanted Xu Teng to take the blame, but I drugged his wine so that no one was alerted. To control him, and the amount of his embezzlement... I didn't think much about it and wrote it up in a big way, thinking of putting all the blame on him, but the cash taken out of his house was actually not much, most of it was I gave the filial piety to the Duke Protector's Office, and I thought, what if he refuses to admit it after being taken to the capital? I...I added some..."
When Gu Chengye heard what he said, his face became more and more ugly. He didn't want to talk nonsense to him anymore: "Sell all the calligraphy, paintings and antiques in your house that should be sold! Even if there is not 500,000 taels, the total is 200,000 taels. Yes? You must get it together within ten days."
"Two hundred thousand?" Chen Shan grimaced, "I don't have two hundred thousand..."
"You think of a way, and I'll go back and think of a way. Within ten days, we must first send him the first batch of one million taels." Gu Chengye endured the pain, "Send the first batch, and we can talk about the rest." No, at most four million, we’ll have to wait for now.”
He didn't know what he thought of, and sneered secretly: "Maybe before we can collect these five million taels, the King of War will be gone."
After saying this, Chengye left without looking back, leaving Chen Shan standing in the distance in confusion.
People are gone?
What does this mean?
What are the Gu family planning to do? Is it possible that you really dare to attack the King of War?
Chen Shan stared at Gu Chengye's leaving figure, his fat face slowly darkening. He had been listening to the Gu family's arrangements all these years just for this benefit.
If even this benefit is gone, he...
…
Rong Li and Rong Yang soon arrived at the other courtyard.
The guards are packing their bags.
Rong Cang and Uncle Xie Xiaoguo were standing under the big tree in the main courtyard, giving some instructions to the guards.
Rong Yang walked over and called Jiu Di respectfully.
Although they are elder brothers in the ranking of princes, they really don't dare to act like elder brothers in front of Rong Cang. Firstly, no one has great status and power, and secondly, their abilities are not as good as others.
That sentence made Ninth Brother feel a little guilty.
When Rong Cang saw them finally showing up, he turned around and walked towards the house. Rong Yang followed behind him: "Are we really going to set off tomorrow?"
"It's true." Uncle Xie Xiaoguo smiled, "Are your two highnesses happy or reluctant to give up?"
After entering the house and closing the door, Rong Yang smiled and said: "If you are happy, you are really happy. If you are reluctant, you are just pretending to be reluctant."
Rong Li said calmly: "We just said that Uncle Xie Xiaoguo came here to supervise the ninth brother. Chen Shan and Gu Chengye seemed to believe it and were very happy."
"Your Highnesses are very suitable to be playboys." Uncle Xie Xiaoguo raised his eyebrows, "Next time there is another case, the King of War will bring you out."
Rong Li is calmer than Rong Yang, and his tone sounds more reliable: "Gu Chengye should also be eager for us to leave early."
"What do you mean by this?"
"The Gu family is in chaos, and Gu Chengye is very worried about his ninth brother cooperating with the rest of the Gu family." Rong Li looked calm, "It can be judged from Chen Shan's occasional words that the Gu family has a sixth son who serves others with sex, and he is the most unscrupulous in doing things. , which makes Gu Chengye very afraid."
"Yes." Rong Yang nodded and looked at Rong Cang, "Ninth brother, don't you plan to meet this person?"
"It's not time to meet," Rong Cang said, "Go and pack your things. It's best to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible."
Rong Li hesitated for a moment: "Is Ninth Brother planning to let the Gu family go?"
"Your Majesty the Seventh Prince is overly worried." Uncle Xie Xiaoguo shook his head, "The War King has his own plan, we can just follow his orders."
Rong Li nodded: "Yes."
The Gu family is a giant.
Rong Cang and Uncle Xie Xiaoguo didn't find out until they arrived in Shuozhou. The reason was that Rong Cang had been focusing on the border in northern Xinjiang in the past few years, while Uncle Xie Xiaoguo focused on the cases of the Ministry of Justice.
This was the first case they had officially left Beijing to handle. Only when they came to Shuozhou in person did they realize how powerful the Gu family was. With just a few of them and the experts they brought, they couldn't handle the Gu family for the time being.
Even if he returned to Beijing to present himself to the emperor, Gu Chengye would probably have absolute confidence that the emperor would not be able to touch them for the time being.
Because the capital has been quiet, the news of Concubine Gu's fall from favor has not yet reached the Gu family. They take it for granted that as long as Concubine Gu and Prince Chen are around, nothing will happen to the Gu family.
But these are just what Gu Chengye takes for granted.
