Yan Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, and his voice unconsciously turned even colder. "...When did I ever stop keeping my word?"
"That's great!" Qi Ren's face immediately lit up with joy, just like when he first came in. "I've been told that the prince is not such a stingy person. The prince once said that if the subordinates call Sister Ying "Princess" and she doesn't object, they will receive a reward of 100 taels of silver."
After a pause, Qi Ren observed and found that Yan Zhuo's face was still normal and not broken. Then he pulled out an account book from somewhere behind him.
Pursing her lips, she handed it to Yan Zhuo, "Your Highness, this is the fee for changing your statement. Please check it and cash it out as soon as possible."
Yan Zhuo snorted coldly and almost stood up to draw his knife.
But then he thought about it again, it was indeed his promise, and he couldn't let his subordinates down...
So, he reluctantly opened the first page of the account book. When he saw the record of over 80 times that Kunan was the best, he couldn't help but say, "Who wrote this down? Get him here!"
It's outrageous!
Even when Yan Zhuo took a quick look, he saw that on the first page of the account book, the least number of people had more than 30 records.
You two brats, you're not asking for money, you're trying to bankrupt him!
However, Qi Ren and Kunan looked at each other and felt justified, so they quickly called over the brother in the Mo Ji Guard who was in charge of recording.
Although this guy is young, only sixteen years old, he has a good memory.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has a photographic memory.
If you don’t have some skills, you can’t become a Demon Guard!
So when Yan Zhuo confronted him, he couldn't find any fault with it. In the end, he could only stare at the numbers in the account book and grit his teeth. "To be honest, I gave all my money to the princess for safekeeping. This expenditure... is really not small. I don't have any money right now."
Ha, are you trying to default on your debt?
Qi Ren and Kunan were dumbfounded. It was the first time they realized that their prince was a good dog.
"We... can ask the princess for instructions." Kunan tried to say. He couldn't let all the saliva he had shed over the past few days go to waste.
Qi Ren nodded. He also needed the money. "Yes, I believe Sister Ying will not embezzle such hard-earned money."
Yan Zhuo glanced at him, "Sister Ying? If you call me wrong once, I'll deduct 100 taels!"
Qi Ren, "..."
Force him? Then he can only use his trump card!
Qi Ren fumbled around behind his back for a while, and soon pulled out a letter with the four big characters "From My Beloved Daughter" written on it. He could recognize the handwriting as that of Jiang Shang, Duke of Jiang.
Yan Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly~
Qi Ren took a half step back, retracted the letter, and only revealed half a corner. He smiled at Yan Zhuo and said, "Your Highness, would you mind exchanging this for something?"
"A letter from Duke Jiang?" He guessed it, and Yan Zhuo confirmed it again.
As soon as the voice fell, he lowered his eyes and smiled, "I'm wrong. I shouldn't call you Duke Jiang, but father-in-law. Otherwise, what if Ying'er hears it and has some ideas?"
Qi Ren, "..."
Kunan, "..."
Just spoil her then, and you still think the princess isn't lawless enough, right?
"That's right." Qi Ren nodded heavily, his eyes filled with hope. "The sealing wax hasn't been removed yet, so I don't know what's written on it."
Kunan's advice to him was to keep the mystery. Given how much the prince loved the princess, he would definitely be willing to pay the money.
It’s not much, just a few tens of thousands of taels, which is nothing to the prince.
As for the prince handing over all his wealth to the princess? Who would believe that? What man doesn't keep some private money?
Besides, the cash flow from the prince's secret businesses is astonishing, and a slight leak of tens of thousands of taels will not be a problem.
Qi Ren felt very miserable. He had resorted to this desperate measure just to save money for his wife, right?
Unlike Kunan, who is a stingy person. He has saved so much money in the past few years!
But no matter how much he saves, it's useless because he doesn't even have a partner, unlike me, hehe...
Qi Ren turned around and secretly glanced at his fellow wooden brother Kunan, secretly delighted, and even figured out how to extort money from him.
Yan Zhuo put down his teacup and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Okay, tell this king the letter and go back to Uncle Shui to get the money. You two and the brothers of the Demon Guard have been with this king for quite some time, so this will be considered as your resettlement allowance."
He had no interest in settling down before, so naturally he didn't think about these things.
Now...it's good to have a stable home, it's wonderful to have a stable home~
Our ancestors said that among those who cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern the country and bring peace to the world, managing their families is the most important thing, which is more important than their future. There is some truth to this.
Just like him now, he is full of energy and wants to reach a higher level in terms of wealth and status.
Everything he has will become a shadow for his wife and children in the future.
Therefore, anyone who wants to touch his cheese, he will have his hands chopped off and fed to the dogs!
"Ah?" Qi Ren couldn't believe it when his wish suddenly came true.
His hands trembled unconsciously as he held the envelope. "Your Majesty, you have agreed, right?"
Yan Zhuo sat up straight, "Do you want it or not? If you don't, I can pretend I never said it!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qi Ren said repeatedly, extremely happy. He opened the envelope with trembling hands, "I'll read it right away, I'll read it right away..."
Kunan added, "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, rarely seen in this world."
Yan Zhuo doesn't know him yet? He has so many tricks up his sleeve that even ten Qi Rens can't match him. But it is precisely because of this that he can command his subordinates well and be able to shoulder great responsibilities.
Trust people you employ, don't employ people you don't trust, and be cautious in what you say.
Glancing at him, he said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Money is not a problem for me. But how much should be given to each person and how to prevent the brothers below from having conflicts and excessive ideas are what you two should consider."
Kunan's expression became serious when he heard this. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand."
