Chapter 12 You are more ruthless than stealing money
Li Mu was generous and sat down in the front seat, and asked Li Linfu to sit on the left side as well. Wang Fei had no choice but to stand aside.
There is a difference between the king and his ministers, so Li Mu has a bottom line and plays it big, which is enough.
Li Mu said: "Actually, it shouldn't be a big deal. I think it's just Mr. Li's two young masters playing around with a few maids. Young people are full of blood and it's reasonable to go too far. Mr. Li doesn't need to be nervous."
Li Linfu was also a famous human-creating machine in the Tang Dynasty. Over the past few decades, he gave birth to twenty-five sons and twenty-five daughters, which was slightly inferior to the eldest brother Li Longji.
If you have too many children, it is inevitable that you will have a father but no father to take care of you.
Li Linfu was inexplicably angry. His two sons were playing with the maid? Why did they make trouble in Jing'an Lane? Why did Li Mu bring this up?
Li Linfu suppressed his anger and asked: "Your Highness, you condescended to come to the door today, isn't it to tell me about the two traitors?"
Li Mu chuckled and said, "No, no, I happened to bump into the two young masters having a fight. I kept saying this, but in fact, I asked to see Prime Minister Li today because of another matter."
Li Linfu nodded and asked: "His Royal Highness, you might as well say it straight, if Li can do it, he will never shirk the blame."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Xiang Li can definitely handle a small matter. To be honest, I'm tight on money recently. I happen to have two things assigned by my father that cost money. I have no choice but to ask Xiang Li for help and borrow some money for emergencies.
"
"Borrow money?" Li Linfu was shocked, then laughed. After laughing, his face became gloomy.
"Your Highness, you are kidding me. You are a noble prince, but you are still short of money? No one believes it?" Li Linfu said, glancing at Wang Fei, who was standing aside.
Wang Fei hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Mr. Li is dedicated to state affairs and diligent in serving the people. He is a good prime minister of our Tang Dynasty. His family has long been unable to make ends meet."
Li Mu glanced at Wang Fei. This guy was a dog raised by Li Linfu. He was a master who made money for Li Linfu. He bullied the superiors and subordinates, and did all kinds of bad things. At this moment, Li Linfu was crying for poverty.
Li Mu smiled and said: "Li Xiang, I know you are always diligent and thrifty, but I have no choice. My father has worked hard day and night to arrange things. If I can't complete the things arranged as scheduled, it will be a big sin."
Li Linfu was so cunning, and said coldly: "Other things are easy to talk about, but borrowing money is really difficult. Your Highness, why don't you tell me where you will use the money."
Li Mu said: "I don't want to hide it from Mr. Li. Yesterday, my father rewarded me with several dancers. They said it was a reward, but in fact, he wanted me to rehearse some new songs and dances to relieve my father's fatigue and provide him with outfits, props, and stage effects.
, it took a huge amount of money to seek help from Prime Minister Li."
"New style of singing and dancing?" Li Linfu frowned and glanced at Wang He, who nodded. Obviously, Wang He knew about Li Longji's reward for Li Mu, the dancer.
Li Mu then said: "Li Xiang, don't worry, I will never use your money to eat, drink, whore or gamble. The money will be used wisely. When the time comes, my father will be happy. It's all the credit of Li Xiang? I
Never be greedy for merit."
Li Linfu managed a rare smile. He knew many people, and when he saw that Li Mu had a frank look on his face, he also spoke according to his feelings.
Li Linfu asked: "So, you have to borrow it? How much do you want to borrow?"
Li Mu thought for a moment, and since he spoke, he should be harsher. Li Mu stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand taels? It's not too much, right?"
Li Linfu staggered and shouted: "Nonsense, you are not borrowing money, you are more ruthless than robbing money, no."
Li Mu's loud tone surprised Li Linfu.
Li Mu said: "Li Xiang, don't be anxious. I told you, this is an errand for my father. It must be done beautifully? Ten thousand won't do it. You always make the decision. How about a discount? I'll give it to you."
An IOU guarantees that the loan will be repaid."
He also borrowed money in such a domineering manner, just like negotiating a business, demanding high prices and paying back the money on the spot. This was the first time that Li Linfu met such a bold and shameless prince.
Li Linfu was in confusion. Li Mu suddenly appeared in the past two days and was involved in several things that were unexpected and strange. Could it be that the emperor was behind it?
This kid is not going to have any bad luck, so he wants to fight with the prince? That would be great. Concubine Wu Hui helped him a lot back then, and he also tried every means to help Concubine Wu Hui's sons rise to power.
Originally, he was urging the longevity king Li Hao to aspire to the East Palace, but he missed a move and was taken advantage of by Li Heng. Concubine Wu Hui died in depression. In the past two years, Li Linfu hated Li Heng deeply and kept thinking of ways to bring him down.
Li Heng.
Has the opportunity really come? This seemingly innocent and harmless Li Mu is the player who defeated Li Heng?
Li Linfu chuckled.
The decision was made in a split second.
"Your Highness, since everything is for Your Majesty, I am deeply moved by such filial piety. Even if I bankrupt my family and I can't even get ten thousand taels, I'll sell iron to get you one thousand taels."
Li Mu stood up excitedly, but immediately felt out of sorts, and sat down again, pretending to be depressed.
"One thousand taels is too little, Mr. Li, please add more? When my mother was still alive, she often said that Mr. Li is the pillar of my Tang Dynasty and the elder of my Li family. If I have any difficulties in the future, please ask for help.
Li Xiang pulled." Li Mu lowered his head and began to wipe his tears.
When Li Linfu heard Li Mu mentioning Concubine Wu Hui, he suddenly became irritated, "That's all, don't use Concubine Hui to pressure me,"
Li Linfu said, turned around and went to the study, and soon came back with two more banknotes in his hand, both worth five hundred, and handed them to Li Mu.
Li Mu pretended to be pitiful, and he was already happy. He took the banknote, put it in his arms, and thanked Li Linfu, but his mood seemed very low.
Li Linfu sneered and said: "The white wolf has empty gloves, but I have used them. Now he is holding money and has a sad face. Why don't you show it to me?"
Li Mu said depressedly: "Li Xiang, one thousand taels is really not enough,"
Just as he was talking, Li Wen came in with a worried look on his face. He pulled Li Linfu aside and whispered: "The two young masters have been brought back and have been operated on. Fortunately, they are all minor injuries."
Li Linfu's face immediately turned ugly and he asked, "Who else is there?"
Li Wen looked at Li Linfu in embarrassment.
"explain,"
Li Wen could only say: "The two young masters are fighting for the sake of the master's concubine, Mrs. Ruihong."
Li Linfu pressed his hand on his chest, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out. His two sons secretly had an affair with his concubine.
"Li Xiang, Li Xiang, are you okay?" Li Mu hurriedly brought the tea over and asked Li Linfu to take a sip.
Li Linfu looked gloomy and wanted to eat people. He looked at Li Mu, then sighed, turned his head and said to Li Wen: "Go and get a thousand taels of silver notes."
Li Wen was at a loss, what kind of banknote would he get at this time?
"Hurry up and go." Li Linfu scolded, and Li Wen woke up from a dream and ran away in a hurry.
Soon, Li Wen came back and handed a banknote to Li Linfu. Li Linfu then slapped Li Mu's hand hard.
Li Linfu almost gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, these thousand taels are for you. There is no need to pay them back. Remember, Your Highness, please forget everything you saw in the Prime Minister's Mansion today."
Hey, another unexpected surprise.
Li Mu took the banknote and said: "Li Xiang, these one thousand taels are considered hush money. Don't worry, I have a very strict tone and a bad memory. I didn't see anything today."
As he spoke, Li Mu walked to the desk, picked up a pen, wrote an IOU for one thousand taels of silver, and handed it to Li Linfu.
Li Linfu felt his liver hurt again when he heard it, and said coldly: "Your Highness, I got the money, I still have some family matters to deal with, so I won't leave Your Highness alone. Mr. Wang, please escort His Highness out for me."
Li Mu cupped his hands and said, "Since Mr. Li has family matters, I won't bother him. Thank you Mr. Li and let me go."
Li Mu went out and saw Li Tong and Li Mo outside the door, with their hands tied behind their backs, kneeling at the door. The little woman and the two maids were nowhere to be seen.
When the two of them saw Li Mu, it was like seeing a savior. Li Tong said excitedly: "Your Highness, it's you, help me. For the sake of our past friendship, please help us say a good word to our father."
Li Mo also said with a pleading look on his face: "Your Highness, please help me. For the sake of us listening to music and drinking together before, hurry in and plead for us. It will definitely work."
Li Mu approached the two of them and whispered: "You two, you dare to play with your own father's woman, you are worse than a pig or a dog."
After saying that, he took a sip of water on the ground and walked away.
