Li Daoli was nearly fifty years old. Although he was not highly respected within the clan, he still had some status. Who would have expected that he would be scolded by Li Yuanjia in front of him like this today? His face was filled with blood, his heart was shocked and angry, and he stood on the spot speechless.
Li Yuanjia had no intention of leaving him any face.
"If you have money, pay it to Fang Jun to resolve this grudge. If you don't have money, go and resist Fang Jun's anger. If you can resist Fang Jun's anger, you have the ability. If you can't resist, it's your own fault. Call me over.
Just say that you have no money? What do you think of me as a fool? I am a fool who you can play with!"
After talking about it, his voice and look were both serious.
Why did he resigned from the post of Zong Zhengqing in front of His Majesty?
Why was he scolded by Fang Jun in person but couldn't say a word of defense?
Why is he still fearing that the princess will be dissatisfied?
Wasn't it all caused by your assassination of Fang Yizhi!
You only remember that I am Zong Zhengqing, have you also forgotten that I am Fang Yizhi's in-law?
Li Shenfu sighed secretly in his heart. He had lived in seclusion in the mansion for many years and did not care about the government affairs of the court, but he didn't expect that the young people nowadays are as smart as a monkey with hair. Li Daoli's words were not so appropriate.
The loophole in his words was caught, and a storm of scoldings and scoldings made Li Daoli feel helpless, and all his words were blocked.
Seeing that Li Daoli's face was blood-red, and he was ashamed of himself with shame and anger, Li Shenfu could only turn to the side and sighed: "The truth is wrong, and His Highness deserves to be reprimanded. It's just that he was in a state of confusion for a moment, and spoke in a panic.
It’s not unreasonable to say that unless I cry for poverty for him, Your Highness, think about it, even if the entire Dongping County Prince’s Palace is sold for one million guan, it may not be enough. You see..."
Li Yuanjia raised a hand, nodded and said: "I understand what your uncle means. I will definitely do what you say. Eight hundred thousand guan! You only need to ask him to collect 800,000 guan, and I will personally accompany him to transfer the money."
Send it to the Fang family to apologize to the Fang family and resolve this grudge. Fang Jun is my brother-in-law. My face to him is worth at most 200,000 yuan. If it’s more, I can’t do anything. Because don’t forget, not only
Fang Jun is my brother-in-law, and Fang Yizhi is also my brother-in-law!"
If I hadn't held the position of Zong Zhengqing and had to take care of the overall situation, I would have followed Fang Jun to deal with you. You really thought I was a clay Buddha!
Li Shenfu really had a headache. Li Yuanjia blocked everything he said. Originally, he hoped that he could go to the Fang family to be a lobbyist and talk to Fang Xuanling to let him take into account the overall situation and that it was enough. But now he always
You can't let Li Yuanjia persuade his father-in-law to let go of the real culprit who assassinated his uncle, right?
No matter how thick-skinned he is, Li Shenfu, he can't say such a thing.
At the same time, I secretly regretted that if I had known that Li Yuanjia was so difficult to deal with, I would not have asked him to come forward. I also had a good friendship with Li Ji back then, so I would have given up my old face to ask Li Ji to come forward to make things right, and I may not have ended up in such a difficult situation now.
But now if he abandons Li Yuanjia and goes to Li Ji instead, not to mention that he will completely offend Li Yuanjia to death, Li Ji may not be willing to get involved...
After thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons, Li Shenfu had no choice but to accept it.
"Your Highness, to be honest, I can't even raise 800,000 yuan... Don't be upset first. Listen to me. Since I asked you to come forward, I will definitely not make it difficult for you. Fang Jun is a stick, we can't mess with him.
, can you go to Fang’s house and talk to Fang Xuanling, I definitely don’t have that much cash in cash, but can you make up the 800,000 yuan with real estate, land deeds and other things?”
Now that he has decided to calm down the situation, he is not a person who wants nothing more, but there is not much difference between 800,000 guan and 1 million guan, both of which cannot be collected.
The clan's wealth lies mostly in industry. Even if each family participates in maritime trade, they usually invest in silk, cloth, porcelain and other items, so they definitely don't have any cash.
Li Yuanjia simply nodded and said: "Since I promised my uncle, I am willing to sacrifice my face. I just hope that you will not delay me and give me an accurate date. How many days can I get it together?"
Real estate, land deeds and other fixed assets are definitely not sold at will, and the news of the realization cannot be concealed. There are many people who take advantage of the situation. If you want to sell in a hurry, the price will definitely be lowered. People in the clan may not be willing, so naturally they will
To delay the time.
Li Shenfu thought for a while and said, "How about a month?"
Real estate worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the title deeds cannot be sold by just three or two families.
For more than a thousand years, "gathering money in troubled times" and "gathering land in prosperous times" have been the way of running the world for aristocratic families. Whose cellar does not have piles of gold ingots and copper coins? However, in the past two years, due to the rise of sea trade,
, those wealthy families have invested their property in it, resulting in a significant reduction in savings. For such a huge sum of money, it will definitely take more than ten or even dozens of families to receive it.
But how could we find so many people willing to take him in in such a hurry?
Even if they can find it, if they are so eager to take action, they will definitely keep the price down, but the real estate and land title will depreciate greatly.
This is common sense.
However, Li Yuanjia shook his head and simply stood up: "Uncle, please forgive me. Although I am the son-in-law of the Fang family, I don't have that much respect in the Fang family. I can only buy three days. After three days, either I will accompany my uncle."
Wang takes the money and goes to Fang's house to understand the matter, or you can hire Gao Ming. I still have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave first."
Turn around and leave.
"Good nephew!" Li Shenfu quickly grabbed Li Yuanjia's sleeve and said helplessly: "Three days is too short, ten days, how about ten days?"
Li Daoli also bowed to the side: "Brother, please help me! Three days is too short. How can we find so many people to take over at once?"
Li Yuanjia sighed and said with a grimace: "Uncle, my brother asked me to come forward because I can still speak a few words in the Fang family, but because of this, I am not a human being inside and outside. Now, I
I have to go back to the palace and explain to the princess that the ones who stabbed her in the back were the siblings of the princess, so I ask you to be considerate of my difficulties."
Li Shenfu didn't know what to say.
Everyone knows that Fang Xuanling was known as "henpecked". He was the prime minister of the country, but he did not even have a concubine in the empire. He was governed by his wife, and even Emperor Taizong was helpless. However, the "tradition" of the Fang family's mistress was passed down.
, although Princess Han is not as domineering as her mother, she is "very strict in running the family" and she is very strict among the princesses.
Now that Fang Yizhi has been assassinated, Li Yuanjia, instead of being able to take revenge, has to find a way out for the "murderer". You can imagine what kind of storm he will face when he returns home.
The prince of the royal family, the noble man of Tianhuang, how pitiful...
The dignified prince fears his wife like a tiger, what can he do?
Li Shenfu could only say: "I will try my best."
Li Yuanjia said: "I will go to the house to discuss with the prime minister to see if we can agree on the three-day period. If the uncle fails to fulfill his promise after three days, I will not say anything to complain about it.
Put your hands down and don't ask any more questions."
"How can I not appreciate my good nephew's ability to work in the middle for this matter? You go and do the work on your own, and nothing will happen."
"Then it's settled."
When Li Yuanjia left, Li Daoli couldn't help complaining: "This King of Han is obviously venting his anger on Fang Jun. It seems that he has lost 200,000 guan generously, but what's the difference between 800,000 guan and 1 million guan?"
?We can’t take it out anyway.”
Li Shenfu reminded: "Fang Jun is looking for you in this matter. If he can't raise enough money, he will definitely get angry at you. If I can't suppress him then, you can just ask for your blessings."
If it wasn't for the little bitch in your family who can't handle even the smallest things, why would he be so passive?
I am standing up for you, but you keep complaining. Can you clarify the situation?
Why, you still want to hide the real estate and land deeds, forcing others to work harder, while you hide and take advantage?
Li Daoli's little thought was seen through, he smiled awkwardly, and then sighed sadly.
It's really depressing. It was clearly you who ordered me to do the assassination. Now that it's been revealed, Fang Jun can just stare at me and bite me. How come I'm turning to you for help?
He didn't dare to say any of these words now. If Li Shenfu was offended and he really stayed out of the matter, he would be in trouble.
Fang Er's stick knows that a clan leader like Li Shenfu can't touch him, so he will definitely bite him...
*****
Li Shenfu sent people in carriages to the residences of clan princes and princes in various places in the city, and summoned everyone to go to the Prince's Mansion of Xiangyi County to raise money and silk to compensate the Fang family. At the same time, many family soldiers rode out of Liang Guogong's Mansion.
Go anywhere in the city.
When Li Yuanjia arrived at Chongrenfang, he saw these soldiers rushing out of the gate and scattering in all directions. The hurry was confusing.
What is this second room going to do?
With his head wet, Li Yuanjia arrived in front of the mansion in a car. After announcing, he did not wait for anyone to come out to greet him, but got off the car and entered the mansion through the side door.
Then I realized that my princess had already come first.
Li Yuanjia secretly sweated. He had ignored the princess. If he did not come to the Fang family to inquire about it immediately when he knew that Fang Yizhi was assassinated, but showed concern and returned to Prince Han's Mansion first, it would mean that he did not treat Fang Yizhi.
The brother-in-law took this brother-in-law to heart and was inevitably scolded by the princess. Fortunately, he had to communicate with Fang Jun, so he did not make any mistakes due to some strange combination of circumstances...
Fang Xuanling and Fang Jun greeted him in front of the main hall. Li Yuanjia hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed to the ground from a distance, and said in fear: "My father-in-law is so polite, how dare my son-in-law let you go out to greet him? Never do this in the future.
It’s really a shame for my son-in-law.”
When His Highness the King of Han met, he kept his posture extremely low, looking humble and polite, and Fang Jun couldn't help but laugh.
My eldest sister is really very skillful, she actually managed a prince to be so obedient and obedient...
Fang Xuanling smiled and waved her hands and said: "Although we are close relatives, the national ceremony cannot be abolished. Your Highness, please come inside to talk."
The three of them entered the main hall together.
Li Yuanjia glanced around and saw that there were only a few maids serving in the hall, but he did not see the princess, and his heart skipped a beat...
