Chapter 238 Yuan Dehai actually has an illegitimate child?
Su Wanyan was very satisfied, "Okay."
After signaling Xiao Yi to take the guards down to eat, Su Wanyan picked up the banknotes on the table and counted them happily, "Wow! I didn't expect Yuan Chengzhou to be so rich. Look! Look! He spent a hundred thousand taels just once. This shows how much money he usually sends to the imperial city as tribute!"
Ji Xiaohan sat aside, not even glancing at the banknotes. "When Yuan Chengzhou realizes what's going on, how much more will the princess extort from them?"
That's right, the previous incident was a blackmail drama performed by Xiao Yi and his guards. Yuan Chengzhou has been doing business in Quanzhou for so many people, he is not a fool. Once he realizes what's going on, he will definitely bring people to Mingyue Restaurant to ask for an explanation.
The young princess's plan was to make Yuan Chengzhou come to her on his own initiative.
Su Wanyan spread her hands and said, "That depends on Yuan Chengzhou's sincerity! If he's sincere enough, I'll charge less silver. If he's not sincere enough, then the 100,000 taels will be his charity to help the disaster victims."
Ji Xiaohan smiled and picked up the teacup, frowning and saying nothing.
But his silence didn't mean Su Wanyan wouldn't say anything either. She leaned over and whispered, "Hey, Ji Xiaohan, how are you going to thank me for helping you deal with Yuan Chengzhou this time?"
Ji Xiaohan pretended to be dumb: "What do you mean by this, Princess? Why don't I understand?"
Su Wanyan snorted in annoyance, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You deliberately let me know about the four grain stores in Quanzhou and the owners behind them, wasn't it because you wanted me to help you partner up and take them down?"
Ji Xiaohan put down the teacup, grabbed the little princess's hand and squeezed it gently, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."
"Even if Yuan Chengzhou and Zhao Tianhe really have connections with people in the Imperial City, they shouldn't concern you so much that you want to get rid of them right away. Is there something else I don't know?"
Ji Xiaohan sighed, "Since the princess asked, then I won't hide it from you. Do you still remember the Zhao Village that was massacred by bandits?"
Su Wanyan had a bad feeling in her heart. "Of course, they are blamed on us. I also asked you to find out where these 'bandits' came from and massacred Zhaojia Village."
Ji Xiaohan nodded and held the little princess's hand tighter, "Zhao Tianhe has a half-brother named Zhao Tianfu, who lives in Zhaojia Village in Fuchuan Town..."
"Could it be that the little girl's grandfather is..." Su Wanyan frowned, and her face turned cold in an instant.
Ji Xiaohan shook his head. "It's not such a coincidence, but Zhao Tianfu lives next door to Old Zhao's family. Zhao Tianfu used to help Zhao Tianhe with his business outside, but for some reason, a few months ago, he suddenly brought his whole family, his wife and children, to Zhaojia Village to seek refuge with Old Zhao's family. I sent Xiao Er to investigate and found out that Zhao Tianhe had secretly gone to the Imperial City a few months ago and quietly brought someone back."
"Who did you bring back?" Su Wanyan was curious.
Ji Xiaohan said calmly, "Yuan Dehai's illegitimate son."
"What?!" Su Wanyan was so shocked that she dropped the banknote in her hand. "Whose illegitimate child? Yuan Dehai's?"
This is really shocking news.
Yuan Dehai actually has an illegitimate child?
While picking up the banknotes, Su Wanyan asked, "No, wait, why was Yuan Dehai's illegitimate child given to Zhao Tianhe to bring back? Shouldn't he have been given to Yuan Chengzhou?"
