Chapter 199 General Wang, when will you repay the money you owe me?
Wen Tai had naturally seen people with big money, but when Zhao Cheng suddenly threw money at him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
One shot is a million!
What are you kid doing?
"Brother, what does this mean?"
Zhao Cheng said with a smile: "With a little thought, there is no reason to visit empty-handed!"
"But this is too much!"
"This is my first time coming to Zuo Xiangfu, so it should be like this!"
Zhao Cheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Brother, you must accept it, otherwise you will look down on my younger brother!"
Wen Tai thought for a moment, nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Okay! Since my dear brother treats me like an elder brother, I'll accept it!"
At this time, the chair was brought in. It was originally placed next to Wang Yuluan by the servants. Wen Tai immediately scolded the servants to move the chair next to Yu Changsi and sit close to him.
Du Xuhe, who had not spoken a word, was anxiously circling around, shouting in his heart, Prime Minister, don't be blinded by money, this guy is not a good bird!
There was no direct grudge between him and Zhao Cheng, just because Zhao Cheng was Zhao Huan's son. Another thing was that Zhao Cheng greeted everyone after he came in, but he ignored him, as if he didn't exist.
This made him feel very uncomfortable!
After all, I am an official in the court, a fourth-rank official, and a disciple of the left prime minister, and you actually ignore me?
He sneered and said: "The young prime minister is really generous in his actions. It seems that the wealth of the right prime minister's house is far beyond imagination!"
Zhao Cheng also sneered.
It is far beyond imagination, but it does not say that it is far beyond whose imagination. Doesn't it make it clear that it is far beyond the emperor's imagination?
This sentence is a naked threat!
Zhao Cheng did this deliberately by ignoring Du Xuhe. When he was dealing with Su Wansan, it was Du Xuhe who jumped up and down and almost ruined his good deeds. Although Zhao Cheng knew that Du Xuhe was expressing Wen Tai's intention.
, but he can’t take his anger out on Wen Tai, right?
You are a fourth-rank official, um... just a minor official, but what can you do if you ignore me?
"The wealth of the Youxiang Mansion is incomparable to that of Mr. Duxu!" Zhao Cheng retorted: "My father is only a woman now, and my mother is not like Mr. Duxu who has seven concubines, and these seven rooms
Five of the houses are filled with women from the Western Regions! Lord Duxu is really rich, and he has a special liking for women from the Western Regions..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Cheng slapped his head and continued: "I almost forgot, Master Duxu is from the Western Regions!"
Hearing this, Wen Tai's uncle and nephew both looked at Du Xuhe.
Du Xuhe's face changed. It was no secret that he was from the Western Regions, but how did Zhao Cheng know about taking five Western Region women as concubines?
Judging from the expressions of Wen Tai and Wen Hu, it was obvious that they had just found out.
Du Xuhe wanted to explain, Prime Minister Zuo, Uncle Shaxian, it’s not that I didn’t tell you, but it’s because there is no need to report this kind of thing, right?
Du Xuhe said excitedly: "Zhao Cheng, investigate me!"
"I'm so idle!" Zhao Cheng glanced at Du Xuhe and said, "I just sat in the brothel and heard about Master Du Xu's love story. I guess Master Du Xu showed it off by himself after drinking!"
Du Xuhe quickly glanced at Wen Tai and was shocked when he saw that Wen Tai's face turned ugly.
Showing off after drinking means that you speak freely.
Wen Tai is most taboo about this kind of thing!
Du Xuhe gritted his teeth and glared at Zhao Cheng, immediately hating him with itch.
This guy talks so bad!
"My father is an upright official, and he doesn't have much property in Yanchuan. Well... I spend more than I earn! Do you know what the people in Yanchuan City say about me? Even the Prime Minister's Office is about to be ruined by me.
Got it!"
Zhao Cheng sighed and said with a look of shame: "But I can't help it. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality! But even so, you can still get two hundred thousand taels! As for these authentic works, then
I just relied on my relationship with Jin Daxia and the others to try to save my face."
"Youxiangfu... is poor!"
Zhao Cheng sighed, then looked at Wang Yuluan and changed the topic: "So, General Wang, when will you pay back the money you owe me?"
Everyone was stunned.
What does it mean?
Why did it suddenly involve Wang Yuluan?
Wang Yuluan's face was ashen and he lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Xiangye, how can there be any reason to collect debts from other people's houses?"
Zhao Cheng grabbed Wen Tai's hand and said solemnly: "This is my brother's family, not someone else's!"
Zhao Cheng glanced at Du Xuhe again and said, "I didn't plan to mention this at first, but Lord Du Xu mentioned money, so I mentioned it by the way!"
Du Xuhe went crazy and said angrily: "What does it have to do with me??!"
Zhao Cheng ignored the roaring Du Xuhe and said sincerely: "Young general, I really didn't force you. You also know my current situation. I... will marry the eldest princess soon. Right Prime Minister's Mansion
I’m poor and I’m really short of money!”
When this matter was mentioned, not only Du Xuhe but also Wen Hu became even more angry.
Zhao Cheng continued: "Originally, I was going to be recruited by the eldest princess as the consort. I thought that I would become a prosperous person and never have to worry about money. But who knows... you should all know that, instead, the eldest princess married us.
It’s the Right Prime Minister’s Mansion!”
"I can't let the eldest princess marry in a disgraceful way, right?!"
With a sad face, Zhao Cheng clasped his fists at Wang Yuluan and said, "Young general, you have done well, but you have to give me a hand!"
Wang Yuluan was also anxious and said: "I don't want to owe you anything, but now I..."
"Luan'er, repaying debts is a matter of course."
Wang Ren stood up and walked to Wang Yuluan and said, "Xiao Xiangye, my son owes you three million taels, right?"
Zhao Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, yes, we are all acquaintances. I don't charge interest."
Wang Ren said seriously: "My Wang family has never been rich. If you say that your Prime Minister's Mansion is poor, then our General's Mansion will only be poorer than your Prime Minister's Mansion. I can only raise three hundred thousand taels at most, so I will pay you back first."
Please give me some more time, my Wang family will never default on your debt."
"Three hundred thousand taels..." Zhao Cheng sighed: "This is only 10% of the principal, which is a drop in the bucket for me..."
Wang Ren said again: "I will definitely collect one million taels before your wedding!"
Zhao Cheng looked embarrassed and stopped talking.
Wang Ren and his son looked at each other. The less Zhao Cheng said anything, the more embarrassed they became.
"Look how embarrassing this is!" Wen Tai couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "One is a dignified general, and the other is the eldest princess's consort, and they are stuck here just for three million?"
"Brother Xian, don't rush the general." Wen Tai grabbed Zhao Cheng's hand and said, "I'll give the money to the general first!"
"Ah?" Zhao Cheng was stunned.
Wang Ren was also shocked and said: "Prime Minister Zuo, how can this be done?!"
"What's wrong?!"
Wen Tai glared at Wang Ren and said: "Zhao Cheng is my good brother. He mentioned this matter in my house. I, the master and the elder brother, should just sit back and ignore it?"
