Luo Ningxin asked Qingluan, "In what capacity did the Ninth Prince come to our Dayan? Is he as a private person or as an envoy? What is he doing at Dayan Bank?"
Qingluan then reported, "The Ninth Prince came to Dayan Bank and asked for one billion taels of silver. He said that the Daqian Dynasty had previously invested in the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce and the silver must be taken away."
Hearing this, Luo Ningxin looked strange, Fang Chen smiled and said, "It must be that the former Xuanyu County Lord didn't have enough money, so he moved the Ninth Prince here.
"Since the Ninth Prince has appeared, he must have been prepared."
Luo Ningxin snorted coldly, "You really have ulterior motives. It seems that the senior officials of the Daqian Dynasty have been hiding in our country and controlling everything behind the scenes. Now something has happened, and they have escaped one after another."
"Fang Chen, go meet him for a while!"
Fang Chen took the order and went.
…
Headquarters of Dayan Bank.
In the hall, Liu Long, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Shen Wancai, the owner of Wancai Bank, greeted the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince was drinking fine tea, while two guards stood behind the Ninth Prince.
At this moment, the Ninth Prince had already explained his intention.
Asking for one billion taels of silver.
Moreover, the Ninth Prince took a document and a contract and handed them to Liu Long.
This is a contract signed between the Ninth Prince and Bai Yongliang. During the past ten years, the Ninth Prince has privately invested one billion taels of silver three times. The Tongtian Chamber of Commerce took this silver and invested in antique jewelry, iron ore and copper mines. etc. business.
Now that the imperial court has taken over the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, these businesses are still operating and making a profit every year.
So this time, the Ninth Prince came with the documents and demanded one billion taels of silver, otherwise all the copper ore, iron ore and jewelry business would be transferred to the Ninth Prince's name.
Liu Long and Shen Wancai saw that there was nothing wrong with these contracts and documents. They contained the seal of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, Bai Yongliang's personal seal, and the Ninth Prince's personal seal.
Moreover, the iron ore, copper ore and jewelry business conducted by the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce in Dayan in recent years are all legal.
The Ninth Prince took these documents and contracts and asked for the money openly and honestly.
Liu Long, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, said: "Ninth Prince, this matter is of great importance, and these documents and contracts were all taken unilaterally by the Ninth Prince. We have already checked the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce headquarters before, and there are no such contracts and no documents. "
"Of course, we will conduct a comprehensive inventory to look for these documents and contracts. If we find them, we will definitely give you the money."
Liu Long's meaning is very clear. We will not recognize the unilateral use of these things. Bai Yongliang is also dead, and there is no evidence of his death.
Of course, these things of the Ninth Prince must be forgeries. He put down the tea cup and his face turned cold: "These contracts and documents that this prince got are all correct. These are all serious business done by Tongtian Chamber of Commerce before."
"When you take over the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, you must give me money. If you don't give me money, it's okay. According to the content of the contract, you must give me 40% of my income every year!"
Shen Wanchai cursed in his heart, why didn't you grab it? You still want 40%? I won't give you a single copper!
"Ninth Prince, I have said before that these things you took are unilateral and we have not found them here. Please give us some time and I will give you an answer in half a month."
Faced with this kind of thing, Liu Long can only put it off as long as he can for the time being, and find other reasons after half a month. Anyway, he just doesn't have money to give you.
This is Dayan's territory, and I'm not afraid of you making trouble.
The Ninth Prince seemed to know that the other party would stall for time and cheat.
He said unhurriedly: "Master Shangshu, if you don't give me a reasonable answer for today's matter, I will lead people to take money from your Dayan Bank forcibly. I am not afraid of conflict with you! I will take care of things Make a big fuss! And the fuss will reach above the level of the royal family!"
The Ninth Prince is the prince of the Daqian Dynasty and has a noble status. If the Ninth Prince takes action here, the matter will definitely become known to everyone.
At this moment, Liu Long and Shen Wancai didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
At this time, Shen Wancai took the contract in front of him and seemed to have discovered some problems and said: "The paper and handwriting on this contract look very new. The dates on these three contracts are one from ten years ago and one from ten years ago." One was six years ago, one was three years ago, Ninth Prince, there is probably something wrong with these contracts."
These contracts are definitely forged. The paper has been aged, but the handwriting on it is difficult to be aged.
The Ninth Prince's face was very cold, "What? Do you suspect that my contract is fake? These contracts use ink from the south, because the humidity in the south is heavier and the ink is special, so this situation occurs. "
"Don't delay any longer. Give me an answer quickly. If you don't answer, the five hundred guards who are following me outside will tell you with their actions what will happen if you don't pay back the money you owe!"
The Ninth Prince began to threaten, and the five hundred guards outside had already begun to rush towards the bank!
Liu Long was shocked and didn't know how to solve it!
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside: "Your Highness, Ninth Prince, don't forget, this is our territory of Dayan. If you cause trouble here, believe it or not, I will prevent you from returning to Daqian!"
The person who came was none other than Fang Chen. Next to him was Bai Ling'er, and behind him were more than a hundred Jinyi guards.
Everyone's eyes fell on Fang Chen and others. Fang Chen looked carefully. The Ninth Prince in front of him looked to be in his thirties.
There is some evil spirit and death energy on his body, which gives people a gloomy feeling. It is obviously caused by long-term practice of some evil arts and secret techniques.
Of course, this feeling can only be felt by Fang Chen. After Fang Chen practiced the Ten Thousand Poisons Manual, no one who has practiced evil arts can escape his eyes.
The Ninth Prince's eyes also fell on Fang Chen. He often heard the name Fang Chen in his ears, and today was the first time he saw him.
I never expected that Fang Chen would be so young, and I even saw the immaturity on Fang Chen's face. How could such a little kid have such a strong talent? How could he have made achievements in various fields?
"Master Fang, I have heard of his famous name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
"I am the ninth prince of the Daqian Dynasty, Ye Ziyang!"
Ye Ziyang introduced himself, and Fang Chen said lightly: "Commander of the Jinyi Guards, Fang Chen."
The two people got to know each other, and then Fang Chen quickly learned the ins and outs of the matter. He took the contract and documents on the table in his hand and looked at them for a long time.
"Ninth Prince, yes, Tongtian Chamber of Commerce will use your one billion taels of silver to invest in some businesses, but a while ago, Bai Yongliang took out the one billion taels of silver and gave it to me."
As soon as Fang Chen said these words, Ye Ziyang didn't understand, and Liu Long and Shen Wancai beside him didn't understand either.
Ye Ziyang frowned and said, "What do these words mean? Why does Bai Yongliang give you one billion taels of silver?"
