Chapter 15 Two million guan, not a single penny less
Dai Zhou was relieved when he heard that Manager Wang and Changsun Wuji were coming.
How this matter will be decided depends on what His Majesty has to say.
"General Manager Wang, Duke Qi, you are finally here." Dai Zhou greeted him with a smile, but Changsun Wuji had a livid face.
Before Wang De could speak, Changsun Wuji said: "Master Dai, I want to see my son!"
Dai Zhou frowned, glanced at Wang De, and then said with a smile: "Qi Gong, isn't this appropriate?"
Changsun Wuji knew that it was impossible for him to see his son now, so he retreated to the next best thing and changed his words: "Then I can meet the King of Shu!"
Dai Zhou looked at Wang De, and Wang De smiled and said, "Master Dai, please lend me a moment to speak."
Dai Zhou followed Wang De to the side, and Wang De said: "Your Majesty said that he wants to know the truth of the matter as soon as possible."
Dai Zhou murmured in his heart, the truth?
Is it the real truth or the false truth?
"Master Dai, why are you hesitating? When His Majesty asked you to take the position of Minister of Dali Temple, it was because he believed in your character and uprightness..."
Dai Zhou was enlightened and immediately said: "According to my investigation, the thing is like this..."
After a while, Wang De got the truth of the matter and left.
Changsun Wuji, on the other hand, was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing in the yard.
When he saw Dai Zhou coming out, he immediately went to greet him and said, "Master Dai, can I go to see the King of Shu?"
"Qi Gong, it's not that I won't let you go see me. It's just that the King of Shu doesn't have access to money and salt, and he hates evil as much as he hates you."
"Your young master deliberately killed someone. According to Tang law, he should be beheaded in public!"
Changsun Wuji clenched his fists and remained calm: "I would like to ask you, will you allow me to see the King of Shu?"
"This... Ouch, why can't I see my eyes?"
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Changsun Wuji turned around and walked into the house. Changsun Chong saw his biological father coming and immediately shouted: "Dad, you are here. If you don't come, my son may be sentenced."
"Dad, it was the King of Shu who tricked me. He asked me to kill someone to make amends for him."
"You bastard, you beast, I'll beat you to death..."
When Changsun Wuji heard his son's words, the anger in his chest broke through the Tianling Cap and went straight into the sky. He grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at his son.
boom!
Changsun Chong was hit hard, and Changsun Chong cursed in pain.
"Dad, I am your biological son, why are you so cruel?"
Changsun Wuji was angry again. After searching for a long time, he finally found a guy who could take advantage of him. He chased Changsun and beat him up.
Li Ke hid far away and cheered on the side.
"Qi Gong, come on, this traitor should be beaten to death, otherwise you will be angry to death sooner or later."
After half a stick of incense, Changsun Wuji was panting. Changsun Chong's face was covered with bruises and he was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
At this time, Changsun Wuji looked at Shu Wang Li Ke
"I have met the King of Shu!"
"Master Changsun is out. You are considered my grandfather. If we don't talk to each other, you don't have to be polite."
"In this case, I want to be alone with the King of Shu!"
"You traitor, stop pretending and get out of here!"
Changsun Chong got up from the ground and cried: "Dad, please don't cheat your son. The King of Shu said that if I walk out of this room, I will be considered as having escaped from prison, and my crime will be increased."
Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes in anger, cupped his hands and said, "King of Shu, can you please move somewhere else?"
"Anyway, I didn't kill anyone. I was just a witness. Let's go!"
"Dad, the King of Shu is a scammer, you have to be careful!" Just when the two of them walked out of the door, Changsun Chong did not forget to tell his father to be careful about Li Ke.
Changsun Wuji sighed, wondering what evil he had done in his previous life to give birth to such a son.
You knew this thing was obviously a trap, yet you jumped into it?
Was your brain kicked by a donkey at that time?
He has been working hard for his career all his life, but he lacked discipline for his children, which led to the current situation.
His eldest son, Sun Wuji, has never begged anyone before, and I'm afraid he will make an exception today.
In another room.
Changsun Wuji looked at the King of Shu, and he had a higher evaluation of the insidiousness of the King of Shu. This guy was not like this before.
He used to be smart, but he is still a child after all, and his personality is quite impulsive. But now this guy is suddenly as steady as an old dog, which makes him very uncomfortable.
If this person had been pretending before, it would be incredible.
"Qi Gong?"
Li Ke saw Changsun Wuji staring at him, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he warned him.
"King Shu, we are all smart people. You put so much effort into setting up a situation for my son. You must have something to ask me for. Tell me!"
"Hahaha, Duke Qi, are you kidding me?"
"First of all, I am not a smart man. Secondly, I don't ask you for anything. Finally, I really don't have that kind of ability. You are too flattering to me."
"Do you think that this king is a god who can cast spells and still set things up for your son?"
"How dare you think, how dare you say, if I were really that kind of person, my eldest brother would be extremely worried!"
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Changsun Wuji was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, and bowed: "Your Highness, King of Shu, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I, Changsun Wuji, beg you to give Chong'er a way to survive!"
"If you have any conditions, just ask, even in that position..."
A smile appeared on Li Ke's face. This eldest son Wuji is indeed an old cunt. At this time, he still wants to trick me and make a comeback.
If it were Li Ke in the past, faced with such temptation, he might switch.
But he is no longer that Li Ke, and he is not interested in the position of prince. He just wants to be a free and virtuous king in this life.
They were all fighting and fighting, but in the end, Li Zhi got a big advantage.
"I'm not interested in that position. It belongs to my eldest brother." Li Ke said coldly without hesitation.
"Why……"
Li Ke sighed deliberately again and said: "Seeing that you have been working hard for our Tang Dynasty all your life, and your mother is a member of your eldest grandson's family and has made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty. Even if this matter is placed in front of my father, he will
It’s also difficult to do!”
"I am a filial child, and I don't want to make things difficult for my father."
"But your son was at fault in this matter first. Look, I was beaten to the point where my nose is still bleeding!"
"You're a wise judge, no matter how unbearable I am, I am still His Majesty's son. They say it depends on the owner if you beat a dog!"
"But your son beat me. How can someone else beat me casually? This is about the royal family's face..."
Changsun Wuji kept nodding, the King of Shu was still sensible.
"Please give me some medical expenses, so that I can feel balanced."
"The King of Shu is kind and righteous, I will immediately have the medical expenses sent to the King of Shu's house."
Changsun Wuji was overjoyed. He knew that the King of Shu wanted something, but he didn't know that this guy wanted money.
If you want money, you should have told me earlier!
"Does King Shu think one hundred thousand guan is too little?" Changsun Wuji asked with a smile. In his opinion, one hundred thousand guan for medical expenses is enough.
Li Ke's smile immediately froze on his face: "Qi Gong, this king bleeds the blood of dragons. I lack you one hundred thousand gold. Where are you sending to beggar?"
So Li Ke said directly: "Two million guan, this is the king's bottom line, not one guan less."
"I want cash. I will deliver it to my house before sunrise tomorrow. I will say that I am blind and saw wrongly. It was the servant who knew that he beat me and was so frightened that he committed suicide."
"As for the other witnesses, I think with the strength of the Changsun Mansion, they can be easily dealt with."
Changsun Wuji's eyes widened and he was completely confused!
He never expected that the King of Shu had such a huge appetite, two million guan, while Datang's annual tax revenue was only over 30 million guan.
Chapter completed!
