Chapter 261: Silver and Money Rise
"You are a good and virtuous prince, and yet you come to me to collect a debt?" The King of Qi thought he had misheard and looked at Li Yuncheng in astonishment.
The virtuous prince!
Didn’t this person die a long time ago?
She remembered that in her previous life, before they entered the capital, someone said that the virtuous king's only bloodline had been cut off, and the emperor was so sad that he suspended court for several days, but now this person is still alive.
It seems that I accidentally saved the wrong person. But since he is not Shen Yuan, is the real Shen Yuan dead? But if he is dead, how can the corruption case that my father wants to investigate go smoothly?
Li Yuncheng knew that Su Qingwan had doubts, but there was obviously no need to explain in front of King Qi, so he coughed lightly and said, "I'm just helping a friend. You should take out what you owe Miss Four."
Su Qingwan looked away.
That's right! Get the King of Qi's things first, and then deal with Li Yuncheng later.
King Qi couldn't help but tighten the fingers behind his back. If Li Yuncheng was not here, he could directly give the order to kill Su Qingwan.
But his father's dog was in the yard, so he couldn't act rashly.
"Cuiwei Villa, one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, and one hundred acres of fertile land in Jiangnan County." Su Qingwan said.
The King of Qi's eyes widened and he angrily asked, "Didn't you pay back 100,000 before? How come it has become 12 now?"
Su Qingwan really thought she could agree to such a blatant request?
"I was frightened today when I went to Cuiwei Villa, so naturally I have to add more."
Anyway, they're already extorting me, so what's the harm in asking for more?
Li Yuncheng couldn't help but be shocked. What did the King of Qi do to deserve such a huge debt to Su Qingwan? Moreover, Su Qingwan had the audacity to raise the price by asking the prince for 120,000 taels of silver, unafraid that the King of Qi would not be able to pay.
"Someone, go get the land deed." said the King of Qi.
Among the people in the palace who had rushed over after hearing the noise, someone immediately went to get the things.
After a while, the land deed was delivered, and King Qi waved his hand and gave it to Su Qingwan.
After Su Qingwan confirmed that everything was correct, she put away the deed and asked, "Where's the silver?"
The King of Qi was upset, but in front of Li Yuncheng, he would not take out the silver even if he had it, so he said, "I don't have that much silver, why don't you name another number."
"Your Highness the Prince of Qi's business is doing very well, how could he be out of money? It's only 120,000 taels. I think Your Highness can afford it." Li Yuncheng's voice floated over indifferently. It would be impossible to deny the debt in front of him.
Prince Qi's face darkened. Coming from Li Yuncheng's mouth, did this mean that his father also knew about the business he was doing?
So, was it Su Qingwan who wanted this 120,000 silver coins? Or was it... my father who wanted it?
The King of Qi couldn't help but think too much, his eyes moving between the two of them.
These two people should have no intersection, but they happened to come to him together, and now Su Zhiru has entered the Ministry of Revenue, so the matter here is...
The more the King of Qi thought about it, the more he felt that the money was what his father wanted. Was he doing this to remind himself?
"It will take time to prepare so much silver. Why don't we sit down and talk?" The King of Qi wanted to test his attitude.
But Su Qingwan didn't give him this opportunity, "My second sister said that His Highness had been ready for a long time, you can't be lying to her."
King Qi frowned, his eyes full of anger. Why was he mentioning Yun Rou at this time? How could a weak woman like her be involved in this? Was Su Qing Wan threatening him?
He gritted his teeth, took a long breath and said:
"The King said that we need to wait a while."
He raised his hand and asked someone to prepare it. After a cup of tea, the money was delivered, part of which was silver notes and the other was a box of gold.
Su Qingwan smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
The King of Qi was filled with hatred, but thinking that his father might have been behind this, he did not dare to say anything more.
Li Yuncheng helped Su Qingwan move the gold out of Prince Qi's Mansion.
"Miss Fourth, let me take you back to the Marquis' Mansion." Li Yuncheng said.
He really wanted to know why King Qi owed Su Qingwan so much.
Su Qingwan smiled slightly, and that smile was quite meaningful.
"Okay!"
He used a fake identity to deceive me before, and now that his identity has been exposed, he doesn't feel embarrassed and still wants to get information from me. It would be better to let him die early like in his previous life.
Anyway, he saved his life by himself, and if I take it back now, it would be like I had never saved him before.
Li Yuncheng vaguely felt the vague murderous intent. He made a quick assessment and was confident that he did not have the strength to escape from Su Qingwan, and he could not leave at this time.
Now that Su Qingwan knows his identity, it is not a bad thing for him.
After the two left, the King of Qi looked gloomy and had a feeling of uneasiness.
"Your Highness, why don't we rob the silver back?"
The King of Qi glanced at the man coldly, then slapped him hard in the face with his backhand.
"madness!"
As soon as they took the silver, they were robbed as soon as they left. Did they really think that his father was old and confused? He could only pretend that this incident had never happened, and...
"Please ask Mr. Bai Feng to come and see me."
He must discuss with Bai Feng and gather the outside affairs as soon as possible so as not to let his father get hold of any evidence.
I guess these 120,000 taels were just a warning from my father.
……
Su Qingwan went to her own courtyard in the capital. Li Yuncheng had lived here for some time before, so he was naturally familiar with the place.
"Just put the box down." Su Qingwan said.
Li Yuncheng put down the box as he was told.
As soon as the thing landed on the ground, a strong wind swept towards him.
Li Yuncheng did not dare to be careless and suddenly swung out with his palm.
"Oh!"
He took several steps back, and finally turned in the air, barely putting some distance between himself and Su Qingwan.
"Prince Xianwang, you are quite skilled!" Su Qingwan said.
"Miss Fourth had mercy on me, so I was able to barely dodge it. I can't say I have great skills." Li Yuncheng's whole arm was numb from the shock.
He knew before that Su Qingwan was very powerful, but after fighting with her, he realized that he had underestimated her.
"I know you are angry, but I didn't mean to hide it at that time. Please forgive me, Miss Four."
"What if I don't forgive you?"
He got 120,000 taels of silver from the King of Qi, which was no small sum. Shen Yuan, who originally thought that he was a vassal of the King of Qi, didn't care after knowing this.
But no one expected that he would be the son of the virtuous king and be quite favored by the emperor, so he could be in charge of the Imperial City Administration.
If he knew about this, it would mean that the emperor would also know about it, and he would probably not be able to keep the money, and it might even implicate Prince Yi's Mansion and the Jiang family.
Su Qingwan cannot take this risk, so now it seems that how to make Li Yuncheng keep his mouth shut is the top priority.
"Fourth Miss, you are a smart person. You don't really think that the things you took from the King of Qi will not be heard by the Emperor, right?"
"Sir, do you think you have a chance to see the emperor again?" Su Qingwan threatened teasingly.
Li Yuncheng's eyes moved, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Fourth Miss, how about we work together?"
"Cooperation? Do you think I need to cooperate with you?"
"Of course there is. As long as Miss Four agrees to cooperate with me, you can accept the money without any worries. Not only will the King of Qi not cause you trouble, but I can also make sure that the money passes the emperor's way and becomes your private property."
