Chapter 80: Trying People With Money
As Zhou Xiang walked, he was thinking about last night's interrogation. An important piece of information was that Mr. Sheng said that since half a year ago, his father, the patriarch of the Sheng family, and Prince Gui's palace had become closer and closer, and even established an offensive and defensive alliance for a time.
But since a month ago, Young Master Sheng's father came back angrily, saying that Prince Gui's palace is also qualified to recruit the Sheng family? The Sheng family is a relative of the state! After that, the two families did not have much contact, and even became somewhat hostile. Only the second Young Master Sheng and Gui
The prince and prince are hooking up!
Zhou Xiang found the keyword "recruitment" from here. The Sheng family was competing with the Zhou family at that time. They were just at a disadvantage and were deprived of the family's tax revenue by the emperor's decree! But they still controlled the warrior resources!
Prince Gui is recruiting them? What is he recruiting them for? The purpose of Prince Gui is not pure, it is not simply to do business and make money!
If you think about it this way, you will have found the employer of the Flying Eagle Thief Group, and you will also find the cause of the recent murder of the family head that has been popular in the city.
Zhou Xiang didn't dare to think about it any more. It just so happened that he had to pay for it today, so he could give it a try!
A group of people arrived at Prince Gui's Mansion, waiting for the guards to announce the news!
Not long after, Prince Gui came out to greet him, but his smile was a little bitter!
Wan Yangxi has Zhou Xiang's plundering formation. He is confident in his heart and is not polite. He should go inside first!
There are still flowers, plants, pavilions, birds and animals along the way, plus that eighth-level monster fish that Zhou Xiang loves very much!
Zhou Xiang looked around, his brows getting tighter and tighter as he watched all this, and the big fish still changed at this moment, with two horns growing out of its head. Although it was just two protrusions, Zhou Xiang could see it clearly.
.
Let’s take a look at the mountains and rivers again! He somewhat understood, how could a person’s hobbies be so wide-ranging?
All kinds of flowers and plants, all kinds of trees and vegetation, plus all kinds of strange animals, and the last monster, and this big fish with horns that Prince Gui loved very much.
There are also mountains, rivers, lakes and other landscapes.
What kind of palace is this? It is clearly a small kingdom!
He also thought about the way Prince Gui dealt with the second son of the Sheng family who was bitten and maimed that day. He was clearly angry with the Sheng family.
Even if he found out that he had done something, he would probably blame it on the Sheng family.
But he was deceived by the relationship between the second son of the Sheng family and the eldest son.
Zhou Xiang felt that a leaf obscured his eyesight and he could not see Mount Tai!
When Zhou Xiang and Wan Yangxi were about to enter the banquet hall, Prince Gui said with a bitter face: "Third brother, don't tell my father about the debt! Okay?"
Wan Yangxi felt a little soft-hearted when he saw his cousin's cowardice, but when Zhou Xiang pinched him, he instantly got into the mood, and said sarcastically: "Fifty million, can you still afford it?"
The prince suddenly became weak and entered the hall dejectedly.
Zhou Xiang saw that Prince Gui was still the same as before, dressed in an elegant gown, chatting with an old man with a gray beard. Zhou Xiang had met the old man once before, and followed Prince Gui when the palace hosted a banquet that day.
Wan Yangxi went to pay tribute to his uncle, but Zhou Xiang just cupped his hand, looking like a second-generation ancestor!
The uncle and nephew exchanged a few pleasantries, but no one cared about Zhou Xiang, after all, he was already well-known.
"Uncle Huang, I came here this time because of what happened yesterday.
..." Wan Yangxi was interrupted before he finished speaking.
Prince Gui was seen kneeling on his knees, pleading: "Father, I know I was wrong. I owed a debt yesterday!"
Prince Gui was stunned for a moment, but then he narrowed his eyes and asked: "It is only natural to pay back debts. How much do you owe?"
The prince's face turned even paler: "Fifty, fifty million!"
"What! You treacherous son, I will kill you to pay off the debt!" Prince Gui said angrily! After saying that, he started looking around. It seemed that he was looking for someone who could take advantage of him!
Wan Yangxi couldn't help but want to step forward. Although the old man with a gray beard stared at Zhou Xiang and the two of them, Zhou Xiang still held on to Wan Yangxi's clothes and refused to let him step forward!
Prince Gui turned a blind eye to the sword beside the table, and did not take the inkstone in his hand. He just walked towards the crown prince holding a pen holder!
He was about to walk up to the Crown Prince and stretched out his hand to hit him, but the Crown Prince stumbled, got up and ran away!
A chase begins!
Zhou Xiang looked at this farce, "You, Prince Gui, are leading the troops. Everyone in Datong knows that a dignified seventh-grade warrior cannot catch up with the son of a third-grade warrior?"
The old man with the gray beard no longer stared at Zhou Xiang and the two, but started to break up the fight!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. You can't beat me. After all, it's your flesh and blood. If you beat him, you won't be able to do it!"
Zhou Xiang also said: "Yes, even if you are beaten to death, the father's debt will be repaid by the son, and the son's debt will be repaid by the father!"
As soon as he said these words, everyone was stunned!
Prince Gui and his son looked embarrassed. Apparently they had been discovered by a dandy, and they said it in public. They were very shameless!
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang felt a sense of sensation sweeping up and down his body, going up and down more than a dozen times! His "Covering the Sky" was already at the fourth level, and he didn't even have it at the third level.
Having been discovered, he is now even more confident.
Wan Yangxi looked at him with admiration. This cousin was getting more and more aggressive, and his uncle was just left there in the cold!
Zhou Xiang thought to himself, I am a dandy, but I am not stupid. A dandy doesn’t know how to twist his words and is born with a venomous mouth!
Prince Gui had an angry look in his eyes, but he asked sarcastically: "Third Prince, does my worthless son owe you money?"
Wan Yangxi replied: "Yes, Uncle Emperor, the total is 51 million, just count it as 50 million!"
But Zhou Xiang rushed to say: "You have half of mine, you can give it to me free of charge?"
Then he took out a notebook from his pocket and read: "A total of 51 million, with a daily interest rate of 1%. It has been two days since today. After including interest, the total is 52.02 million!"
After Zhou Xiang finished reading the book, he continued: "Only crystals or colored crystals will be accepted, and other items will be discounted without asking!"
Seeing everyone stunned, Zhou Xiang stood on tiptoe again, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me the money!"
With such a smug look, it’s hard to tell whether it’s an act or it’s just the way it is!
Prince Gui's face darkened, but he said to Wan Yangxi: "We are all royals, and our surname is Wan. You set up your brother, and now you really still owe money?"
Zhou Xiang could feel the aura as sharp as a knife from the side, but Wan Yangxi said loudly this time: "I listen to cousin Zhou Xiang!"
Zhou Xiang is very pleased
, it’s not in vain for you to invest in the stock, it’s worth cultivating!
Prince Gui's face turned even more ugly, and he winked at the old man!
Zhou Xiang suddenly felt a mountain-like momentum pressing towards him, causing his chest to rise and fall violently, making it difficult to breathe! The old man's words also came vaguely!
"Young man, Zhou Xiang, right? You have to be merciful and merciful, don't take the road to death!" When he mentioned the word "death", his tone became even more intense!
Zhou Xiang resisted the pressure, and when he heard these words, he knew that at the last moment, he would see the end. He followed the momentum and sat down on the ground! He said in his mouth: "I don't want the crystal anymore!"
Prince Gui and the old man were overjoyed when they saw Zhou Xiang pulling the stunned Wan Yangxi away and walking out. While pulling him back, he turned back and said!
"Datong built a country based on business. Cousin, let's go and file a complaint. First tell my aunt, Concubine Zhou, and then tell His Majesty the Emperor that we have been swindled. Your uncle also found a master to threaten us!"
Zhou Xiang looked at the confused Wan Yangxi and knew that he was afraid that his father, the emperor, would know that although Datong was founded on business, the money did not come from serious business. Peeling off the outer layer of gauze, in fact,
It’s just gambling and cheating!
He quickly blinked at Wan Yangxi,
When Wan Yangxi saw Zhou Xiang's eyes, although he was a little afraid of his emperor, out of trust in Zhou Xiang, he still said cooperatively: "Yes, go now!"
The two of them walked away with drums in their hearts. Wan Yangxi was afraid that Zhou Xiang would really force him to complain, or that his Uncle Huang would complain first!
Zhou Xiang was worried about his own guess, and even more worried that Prince Gong was already ready, and if he was forced by him to directly rebel, he and Wan Yangxi happened to be the best candidates to sacrifice the flag.
As soon as I walked to the door of the hall, I was stopped!
Prince Gui changed his ugly expression and said with a smile: "Third Prince and Master Zhou Xiang, don't be angry, I will ask the butler to prepare the spar now!"
Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and didn't have to go to the flagpole. Looking at Prince Gui's smile, if you look carefully, you can see the beating eyebrows, showing the owner's unwillingness!
Zhou Xiang started to use his venom again and said: "Ah, cousin! His Majesty the Emperor is still more powerful. When the Emperor's tricks are revealed, all threats will be put aside!"
After Zhou Xiang finished speaking, he didn’t forget to wink at the old man with the gray beard! The meaning was obvious, aren’t you awesome? Are you threatening me? You’re actually talking!
The old man's gray beard stood up in an instant, and his kind face was full of ferocity. He glared at Zhou Xiang fiercely, turned around and walked towards the passage deep in the hall with Prince Gui!
Zhou Xiang and others were walking on the way back to Zhou Mansion. Wan Yangxi looked at Zhou Xiang's frown and couldn't help but ask: "Cousin, the money is almost back, why are you even more unhappy?"
Zhou Xiang replied: "I still have to face your aunt's constant nagging!"
Wan Yangxi shuddered and was glad that his mother was not that fierce!
Zhou Xiang felt that he would rather not get back this gambling debt!
Prince Gui obviously has the truth, but would rather give out the 50 million?
It’s so obvious that you want to keep things quiet and keep a low profile and don’t want to attract attention!
