Chen Ping never thought that he could be so valuable.
Ten thousand taels, in the Dayu Dynasty, could be used to buy several houses in the capital. If used to support the army, it would be enough to support a month's military pay for an army of 5,000.
"It's his grandma's, this is such an ignorant thing! At that time, Huiyuan was only worth 10,000 taels? Even if you buy it for 10,000 taels, you can't even buy it!"
Chen Ping didn't feel anything yet, but Zhao Jin was furious and cursed directly.
Chen Ping:...
Well, what Zhao Jin said does make sense. After all, he is now the youngest Huiyuan since the founding of the Dayu Dynasty, so he is not worth even ten thousand taels.
Pi Xiu is only willing to pay 10,000 taels to catch him. He is really looking down on others.
"Brother Zhao, how much money did we bring here?"
"Five thousand taels."
Chen Ping pondered for a moment and punched his fist: "Okay! That's enough!"
When Zhao Jin heard this, he turned around suddenly and saw that Luo Li also had a face full of confusion.
"What's enough? Chen Ping, you're not going to use money to deal with them, are you? Pixiu paid 10,000 taels, and we only have 5,000 taels. They won't believe it if we say we go back to get the money."
"That's right."
Both of them expressed confusion about this, while Chen Ping slowly shook his head: "Five thousand versus ten thousand, the advantage is mine."
Then he shouted to the opposite side: "I have five thousand taels here, take it and get out of the way!"
When he heard Chen Ping's words, Master Tu was stunned, and then burst into laughter. Is this the current Huiyuan? Who actually said such stupid things?
"Hahaha! If they catch you, they will get 10,000 taels, and they can also snatch your 5,000 taels away. Are you crazy? Did you gain this wealth through opportunism?"
Master Tu is full of confidence at the moment. It seems that it’s not that difficult to try. He feels like he can do it even if he fucks me.
Hearing Master Tu's sarcasm, Zhao Jin blushed and said, "Master Tu, this bird-man master, even eats shit when he is the master of Mulu Xuanwei!"
"Chen Ping, don't be humiliated again. Let's turn around and go back to Mulu City. We will protect you and keep you safe!"
Chen Ping held down Zhao Jin's raised arm and pointed to the opposite side: "Here, Brother Zhao, look."
"Huh?" Zhao Jin looked in the direction pointed by Chen Ping, his eyes flashed, and then he asked in surprise: "What is going on?"
I saw that the natives who originally numbered in the thousands hesitated for a moment after hearing the five thousand taels mentioned by Chen Ping, and Master Tu suddenly felt bad when he saw this scene.
Just as he was about to say something, Chen Ping's voice sounded again.
"Think about it carefully. The five thousand taels I gave you was just to make way for you, but the ten thousand taels they gave me was to make you offend the court and Chieftain Mulu!"
"If you take their 10,000 taels, you will have to pay 50,200 taels in the future!"
Hearing what Chen Ping said, Zhao Jinluoli and others were the first to become happy. What Chen Ping said was so right!
So Zhao Jin hurriedly asked someone to show the money that was originally given to Mulu Tusi. Mulu Tusi didn't want this money, but he didn't expect that it would be put to use now.
When the leader of the Mulu Warriors finished the translation, thousands of native people across from him saw the white money and suddenly understood, and they all started shouting.
Master Tu was frightened by this scene. Are you kidding me? This kid is less than twenty years old. He has such a clear insight into people's hearts even before he is crowned?
At this moment, Master Tu felt that most of his life had been in vain, and he was being fooled around by a teenage boy.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Luo, let's go."
Although it is only a very simple truth, if you are involved in it, it is difficult to imagine that the authorities are confused and it is clear to onlookers.
Chen Ping called on everyone to move forward, and after asking a few native warriors to carry the silver, the other side suddenly moved out of the way.
Sure enough, there is nothing in this world that money cannot solve. If there is, it is because there is not enough money.
But what Chen Ping didn't expect was that these natives, perhaps out of guilt or feeling a bit sorry for taking five thousand taels just to make way, actually sent Master Tu over.
"Woooooo!"
Looking at Master Tu who was struggling with a rag stuffed in his mouth, Zhao Jin suddenly became angry and kicked him.
"Chen Ping, how to deal with him?"
"He belongs to Chieftain Mulu. Let these people take him back to Mulu City and hand him over to Chieftain Mulu. It's important that we return to Congxing Mansion first."
Ignoring this little guy, Chen Ping raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Congxing Mansion.
Pixiu's plan to instigate the Lingzhou chieftains was ruined by him. He had only two choices. One was to immediately clean up the traces of their organization in Lingzhou and run away. The other was to become angry and fight for his life.
No matter which one it is, he must seize the time, because not only is the situation in Lingzhou critical, but the situation in the capital is even more critical!
"Your Majesty, I don't know what the situation is now..."
...
Capital, Imperial Palace.
On both sides of the endless palace wall, there are guards standing at regular intervals. From time to time, palace people pass by in a hurry, and everyone has a solemn expression on their face.
It has been a full month since the emperor was ill and absent from the court. The imperial examinations that should have started or even ended long ago are now being postponed again and again.
The entire capital also went from being concerned about when the imperial examinations would be re-opened at first, to how the Emperor's dragon body was doing, to finally being silent and not daring to talk about related topics anymore.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current emperor, who has been on the throne for nearly twenty years, seems to be on the verge of Bintian.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!"
In the dead silence of the palace, a violent cough suddenly sounded. The palace people waiting inside and outside the palace suddenly felt nervous, and several eunuchs and maids who were waiting nearby immediately came forward.
"Quick! Catch it with a handkerchief!"
"Your Majesty, how do you feel? Do you want to call the imperial doctor?"
The glorious palace in the past now looks much bleak, as if this palace, like its owner, will be dying.
Lying on the dragon bed was a middle-aged man with a haggard face. He was dressed in plain clothes, with an unshaven beard and two deeply sunken eyes.
Even though there were heaters placed around the dragon bed, they could not stop the cold from invading his body. The few coughs he had just made made his face break out in sweat.

"No, no need..."
The man was naturally the Emperor Tianqi at this time. He waved his hands feebly, then closed his eyes and rested for a while before opening them again.
"How long has the imperial examination been postponed?"
"It has been more than a month since I returned to Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianqi showed a sad smile and muttered to himself: "None of the previous emperors have allowed such important national events to be delayed. How can I delay the palace examination for one month and make the country's talents wait for me for one month?"
”
"Hoo, ho! Send an order to the Ministry of Household Affairs to prepare for the palace examination immediately. My body is small, but the talents of the Great Yu Dynasty are big!"
After holding on to say these words, Emperor Tianqi was exhausted, leaning on the bedside and breathing heavily.
The eunuchs and maids who were waiting and obeying orders all knelt down. They couldn't make the decision in this kind of thing anyway, they could only beg the emperor to take back his orders.
"Your Majesty! The country, the country, the country, and the country are all in your Majesty's body. No matter how important the palace examination is, it is not as important as your Majesty's dragon body!"
The leading eunuch said with a tearful voice, and then knelt on the ground motionless.
It wasn't until Emperor Tianqi roared with all his strength that they stood up and walked out shivering.
In the side hall not far from the palace, several ministers who had received the news ran all the way over without saying a word. Naturally, they were still the same when they saw the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please put the dragon's body as the most important thing and the country, the country, and the country as the most important thing!"
"Your Majesty..."
When several ministers took turns to finish speaking, Emperor Tianqi, who was lying on the bed, became so angry that he straightened up and cursed.
"What I say doesn't work, does it? I want you to have a palace examination!"
"If so, if so, cough cough cough!"
Seemingly too excited, the emperor started coughing again before he finished speaking, and even fainted on the spot.
When several ministers who were ordered to guard saw this, their eyes widened immediately. After two of them looked at each other, a flash of joy flashed in their eyes.
That night, the palace was brightly lit and no one dared to sleep.
