Chapter 163 Want to blackmail her? No way!
"You...you...just wait for me!"
Helian Chen said this harsh words with a sullen face, waved his sleeves, and left in a rage.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper Qi in the room took a few deep breaths, as if his ancestors had finally left.
He was full of admiration for the Shadow Guard, saying that he was indeed someone close to Prince Yu. He was ruthless and decisive in his actions, and his methods were swift and resolute. He was awesome!
Or the master has foresight, knowing that there will be no peace after the explosion of the incense, so he asked the shadow guard to guard in the dark, otherwise he would still be difficult to deal with today
Through the gap in the partition, I looked at the customers who were still queuing and chatting behind the partition. They all looked relaxed and had no idea what was going on here.
Shopkeeper Qi was thankful that there was a partition, otherwise the customer would have been scared away.
…
The news that the prince had taken a group of people to Mankouxiang soon reached Yunli's ears.
Dare to go to her territory to cause trouble, really tired of living, was thinking in my mind how to cause some trouble to Helian Chen, if I don't go back, do you really think she is an easy bully?
At this time, the guard came to report:
"Princess, the Crown Prince and his entourage are threatening to come in and see the Prince.
The guard at the door told the prince that the prince was not in the palace, but the prince refused to leave and kept shouting that he wanted to see you!
Yun Li frowned, "Tsk tsk, she hasn't found any trouble for him yet, but he brought it to her on his own."
As soon as she reached the gate of the palace, she heard Helian Chen's furious voice.
"Let Yunli come out! Let him get out here! This matter will never be resolved unless he gives me an explanation!"
Yun Li raised her eyebrows. How could a prince of a country shout and yell at someone else's door?
"Isn't that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? What's that yelling at the door? I thought it was some mad dog barking."
Helian Chen's face was filled with anger: "Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you are a princess. Don't forget that you are now in the territory of my Yueqi Kingdom. This is not your Lanxi Kingdom. You will not be allowed to act so recklessly here!"
"Of course I know that His Royal Highness is very cunning! Otherwise, how could Prince Duan have been deceived and even lost his life?"
Helian Chen's eyes wandered as he looked at him in shock, then turned to look at the others at the door. "You...you shut up! I'm here today to settle accounts with you. If you don't give me an explanation today, this matter will never end!"
Yun Li stared at him without blinking, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness. She sneered, "That's perfect! This princess is also planning to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for an explanation. Since we all have to settle accounts, let's do it together!"
Helian Chen asked in disbelief: "You want me to explain?"
Yun Li nodded: "Yes, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought a group of people to my hot pot restaurant today to show off his power. He also threatened to kill my shop owner, and scared all the guests eating in the first floor hall away. How does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to settle this account with me?
Those customers who didn't pay and were scared away by His Royal Highness, as well as those waiting in line, have all run away. Shouldn't His Royal Highness compensate this princess for the lost money?"
Helian Chen was furious when he heard this and yelled, "Yun Li, don't be so shameless. You are blackmailing me now? The secret guards of Prince Yu's Palace injured someone close to me and broke my guard's arm. I'm afraid that even if you close the whole hot pot restaurant, it won't be enough for you to pay for this."
How dare you blackmail me here?"
Yun Li asked with a forced smile, "Oh, then Your Highness, could you please tell me why your guard had his arm chopped off?"
"The people in your shop were very disrespectful to me, and my guards stepped forward to warn them. Is that wrong?"
"Oh, how did the people in my shop behave so disrespectfully towards His Royal Highness?"
"I wanted to eat at your hot pot restaurant and asked your shopkeeper to arrange a private room for me. But your shopkeeper actually made me wait in line for three hours like the common people. This is clearly disrespectful to me and provoked me to my face. How can I tolerate this?
So, my guard was about to teach him a lesson, but before he could do anything, he was injured by your secret guard. So, do you want to give me an explanation?"
"Oh, so that's the case. This princess can't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come to my hot pot restaurant for dinner. And my shopkeeper is right. I can't give you a backdoor just because you're His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
We are all human beings. Why should ordinary people wait for a long time while you want to cut in line?
"Just because of this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered his guards to teach my shop owner a lesson? Isn't this just openly looking for trouble on my territory? Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks this princess is easy to bully, right?"
"Stop spitting bloody words at me. I told you I was going to eat! No matter what, your people were fine in the end, but my people had their arms chopped off by yours! You have to give me an explanation."
Yun Li laughed as if she had heard a joke: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, what explanation do you want from me?"
"Compensation! Bai Shan has been with me for many years. He lost an arm, which is equivalent to being disabled. For a martial artist, this is more painful than taking his life!
So, for Baishan's arm, I want 100,000 taels of gold. Isn't that expensive?"
Tsk tsk~ What a big tone! This is clearly blackmailing her.
Yun Li sneered: "Tsk tsk, one hundred thousand taels of gold for an arm is indeed not expensive..."
Helian Chen said proudly after hearing this: "If it's not expensive, just pay for it!"
Yun Li gave him a sneer and said slowly, "I heard that the bounty on the black market for His Royal Highness's head is only 100,000 taels of gold, and Bai Shan's arm alone is worth 100,000 taels of gold. It seems that Bai Shan's arm is more valuable than His Royal Highness's life!"
Hearing this, Helian Chen's face flushed and he was speechless for a moment.
Yun Li raised an eyebrow and continued, "Your Highness, I won't ask for too much. The hot pot restaurant's daily turnover is 30 million taels of silver. Since Your Highness's outburst, about half of the customers have left, so that's equivalent to half a day's turnover. Your Highness, just compensate me with 15 million taels of silver!"
"Are you trying to blackmail me? Your crappy hot pot restaurant can actually make 30 million taels a day? Stop talking nonsense! And what kind of compensation am I giving you? Are you crazy about money?"
Yun Li looked at his exasperated expression and sneered, "So His Royal Highness can't even come up with 15 million? You think it's too much? Then you're trying to extort 100,000 taels of gold from me. I'd also like to ask His Royal Highness, is he crazy about money?"
"Then... shut up! I'll give you fifty thousand taels of gold, or I'll have nothing to say!"
Helian Chen thought that he had to take this opportunity to at least recover the losses of Xiangyunlou in recent days, including the principal and interest, and make Yunli return all the profits. He was clearly blackmailing her!
"Then Your Highness, please first pay the loss of 15 million taels to this princess!"
"Why? Why should I give you money? What are you dreaming of?"
Yun Li couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha~ His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows this? Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be dreaming."
"You should compensate me! Your guards were the first to injure me, so it's only right that I compensate you!"
Yun Li nodded calmly and said, "Oh, then Your Highness, please give me the 15 million taels of silver first!"
Helian Chen hesitated for a moment, then asked, "You mean if I give you these 15 million taels, you will also give me the 50,000 taels of gold?"
Yun Li raised her eyebrows, nodded and said, "Your Highness, please give it to me first!"
"Okay, I'll give you the money, and you'll give me the money too?"
Yun Li shook her head and said with regret: "Your Highness, do you think this is a bank? Who would carry 50,000 taels of gold with them? Even a bank would need time to prepare!"
Helian Chen thought about it and felt that what she said made sense. He nodded and said, "Okay. I have always been quite generous. I will give you two days. After two days, send someone to deliver 50,000 taels of gold to me at the Crown Prince's Mansion. I will forgive all the past!"
"make a deal!"
"Alright! Princess Mingxi is straightforward! I'll have someone deliver your 15 million taels of silver to you as soon as I return to the Crown Prince's Mansion!"
"Your Highness is so straightforward! If you have nothing else to do, go back and prepare!"
Yun Li said something in a bad mood, turned around and went back to the yard, leaving Helian Chen standing stupidly at the door.
He even wanted to extort fifty thousand taels of gold from her. He has a really big appetite. He really dares to ask for such a huge amount from her. No one has ever extorted money from her so blatantly in his life.
Tsk tsk, even if the gold was given to him, he wouldn't have the ability to protect it. This was a good opportunity to explore the storehouse of the Prince's Mansion!
How dare you covet her money? She has been coveting his treasury for a long time! The treasury of a prince of a country must have more treasures than the treasury of Prince Duan's mansion, right? Well, when the time comes, I will take them all away from him, and he won't be able to cry.
…
Helian Chen returned to the Prince's Mansion in a good mood. The 50,000 taels of gold were easily obtained! If he had known that Yun Li was so easy to talk to, if she didn't give him 100,000 taels of gold, he could have negotiated for 80,000 taels.
Seeing how readily she agreed to fifty thousand taels, she must have quite a bit of money! It was really my fault for speaking too hastily!
Then he thought, there's still time. Next time, he could go to the hot pot restaurant and cause trouble, and make her pay more! Doesn't she have a lot of money? Isn't she blatantly trying to steal my business? Then I'll find another way to get the money back! See if he can't extort her to death!
"Butler Wang"
"This old servant is here! What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"Go to the treasury and get 15 million taels of silver and send it to Prince Yu's Mansion! Tell Princess Mingxi that I have 50,000 taels of gold waiting for her at the Crown Prince's Mansion right now. Tell her to be more self-disciplined and not play any tricks on me!"
"Yes! Your Highness, I will go right away!"
Just as Butler Wang turned around and was about to leave, Helian Chen stopped him.
"Wait, when you go to Prince Yu's mansion to deliver the silver, walk on the street and try to let as many people see you as possible. I'm afraid she'll be cunning and refuse to pay after accepting my silver!"
"Yes! I obey your command!"
An hour later, Steward Wang delivered 1,500 taels of silver to Prince Yu's Mansion and relayed Helian Chen's words to Yun Li.
Yunli happily accepted the money. Who wouldn’t like money that comes for free?
…
Two days later, before nightfall, Yun Li prepared 20,000 taels of gold, filled ten large red boxes with large red flowers tied on them, and ordered the guards to
"Open all this gold. Don't cover it. Carry it openly through the streets, and then carry it to the Prince's Mansion in full view of the people!"
"Yes! Princess!"
"Oh, don't forget to beat the drums and gongs! Make it lively!"
"Yes! I obey your command!"
Watching the guards carrying the box out of the yard, she went into the bedroom and watched Helian Chi, who was already dressed in black and fully armed, come out of the study.
Yun Li raised an eyebrow. "You changed them all so quickly?"
"The King can't wait!"
Helian Chi was speaking from the heart. He really couldn't wait to see his little princess's extraordinary ability. After all, she emptied Prince Duan's Mansion and Prime Minister's Mansion by herself. No one in the world could do this, even though he had seen her collect objects from the air many times.
But with so many treasures in the treasury, he was really curious about how she collected them. Thinking of this, he was inexplicably excited and thought about taking her to the palace for a walk someday. After all, there were countless treasures in the treasury.
Yun Li also changed into the same black clothes as Helian Chi without saying anything, and put on black masks. The two of them covered themselves tightly, and it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female. They looked like two gangsters in the underworld.
The night was hazy. Helian Chi used his Qinggong skills and put his arm around Yun Li's waist. Soon they were above the Prince's Mansion.
At this time, the guards who were delivering gold to Prince Yu's Mansion had just arrived.
Steward Wang: "Your Highness, the people from Prince Yu's Palace have delivered 50,000 taels of gold. Please review it in the courtyard for Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Hearing this, Helian Chen, who was sitting at the top with his eyes closed and dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes, full of excitement and affection, and stood up and walked out of the house!
Although it is night, the gold is still shining brightly under the light of the lantern.
Helian Chen walked forward excitedly, picked up a piece of gold from the box, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
After checking the food again, he said happily: "Yes, Yunli is a man of his word!"
When the guards in charge of the Royal Palace saw that His Royal Highness had finished the inspection, they stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness, Princess Mingxi said that if Your Royal Highness has inspected the gold and counted it and found no problems, then you should write a letter of confirmation in your own handwriting.
The content of the confirmation letter is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally received 50,000 taels of gold from the Royal Palace at this time today, and it was stamped with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's official seal.
Princess Mingxi said that this would complete the handover and write off the matter!"
Helian Chen smiled and said, "Your princess is quite cautious in her actions. Is she afraid that I will blackmail her again? Don't worry, I am a man of my word!"
Come, please bring your writing brush and ink!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
After a while, the prince wrote the confirmation letter as instructed by the guard. After the guard checked and found no problem, he took the paper, bowed and left the prince's mansion.
Helian Chen waved his hand and said, "Come here, send these to the warehouse!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Helian Chi and Yun Li on the roof took in everything in the yard. When they looked at each other, there was a tacit understanding in their eyes.
Dressed in black, he blended into the night, following the people carrying boxes from the rooftop to the rooftop of the Prince's Mansion's warehouse.
When the guards came in and out and carried all the gold into the warehouse, Helian Chi came down from the roof holding Yunli and hid beside a tree next to the warehouse.
