Xiong Guang gritted his teeth: "What do you want?"
Zhao Lin said, "First, stay in my prison for half a year and then we'll talk."
Not to mention half a year, even if it was half a month or half a day, Xiong Guang would not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
Xiong Guang took a deep breath and said, "I know Lord Zhao loves money. Name a price, including those letters."
Zhao Lin laughed heartily and said, "As expected of the Shuozhou Xiong family, they are so wealthy. I won't ask for much. You, 100,000 taels, and the letters, 100,000 taels, for a total of 200,000 taels of silver."
Xiong Guang angrily asked, "Are you robbing?"
Zhao Lin said calmly, "Three hundred thousand."
"You..." Xiong Guang was still angry.
"Four hundred thousand." Zhao Lin raised four fingers.
"Okay, four hundred thousand is four hundred thousand." Xiong Guang said angrily.
Zhao Lin said disdainfully, "You cheap bastard! You won't give me 200,000 yuan, but you insist on doubling it."
Xiong Guang ordered someone to bring 400,000 taels of silver notes and give them to Zhao Lin.
"Where's the letter?"
Zhao Lin picked up the banknote and praised, "As expected of the Xiong family of Shuozhou, a foremost family. They gave me 400,000 taels without hesitation. I'll return it to you."
Zhao Lin threw several letters written by Xiong Hui to Xiong Guang.
Xiong Guang took it and examined it carefully. He found that it was Xiong Hui's handwriting and the quantity was correct, so he felt relieved.
"And Chi Qiaoyu's." Xiong Guang said.
Zhao Lin said: "One hundred thousand taels."
"you?"
Xiong Guang took a deep breath and said, "Here you go."
Fortunately, I got a few extra banknotes.
Zhao Lin also threw Chi Qiaoyu's to Xiong Guang.
Xiong Guang picked it up and left without saying a word.
"Goodbye, Sir Xiong. I won't see you off."
Zhao Lin said to Sudi with a smile: "The Xiong family is really kind. They gave me 500,000 taels of silver notes on our first meeting."
Su Di smiled and said, "The Xiong family of Shuozhou is even more arrogant than our Su family. What's a mere 500,000 taels?"
The two of them laughed out loud.
Xiong Guang staggered and walked faster.
"Zhao Lin, I must kill you! I must!" Xiong Guang was furious.
Chi Qiaoyu was relieved when he learned that Xiong Guang had retrieved the letter, including his own.
He was really afraid that if Xiong Guang and Zhao Lin started fighting, more complications would arise.
However, Chi Qiaoyu still felt a little upset that Zhao Lin sold his letter so easily.
So, in Zhao Lin's eyes, I, the governor, am only worth 100,000 taels?
Not even worthy of having something to threaten you with?
But now the handle is in Xiong Guang's hands, and I don't know how to get it back.
"Sir, someone wants to see you." The doorman came to report.
Chi Qiaoyu said impatiently: "No."
The doorman said, "The other party said he came from Jiujiang."
"No...let him in." Chi Qiaoyu said hurriedly.
A person came in from outside. Chi Qiaoyu thought he looked familiar. This person was the one who led the way when he went to Jiujiang to find Zhao Lin.
"I am here on the orders of my master to return his letter."
Shen Yuan handed several letters to Chi Qiaoyu.
Chi Qiaoyu was suddenly surprised.
This is the letter he wrote in the Governor's Office to "collude" with Beidi.
Why are you still with Zhao Lin?
Shen Yuan said: "My master said that Master Chi is a good person and cannot be sold to the Xiong family. Therefore, I am returning this letter. Please rest assured, Master Chi."
Chi Qiaoyu couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you sold it to Xiong Guang?"
Shen Yuan smiled and said, "My master copied it. Xiong Guang can't recognize your handwriting anyway."
Chi Qiaoyu was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Your parents are really good at business."
Not only did he cheat Xiong Guang out of his money, but he also suffered losses.
One letter has two benefits.
Chi Qiaoyu said, "Give your master a message for me. Xiong Guang is just like Xiong Hui. He is narrow-minded and will never let go of any grudge. Tell him to be careful, especially his family. He must protect them."
Shen Yuan said, "Thank you, Master Chi, for reminding me. I will definitely bring this to my master. I'll take my leave."
After Shen Yuan left, Chi Qiaoyu first confirmed that he had indeed written the letters and that they were indeed those letters, with no one missing, and then he burned them.
All the letters turned to ashes.
The stone in Chi Qiaoyu's heart finally fell.
"Although Zhao Lin is young, he acts with great experience, not behaving like a teenager. Whether it's from someone else's teaching or his own ability, it shouldn't be underestimated."
Chi Qiaoyu muttered to himself, "Xiong Hui has messed with the wrong person. Not only will he be in trouble, but he will also bring trouble to the Xiong family. I just don't know how Zhao Lin will deal with the Xiong family's revenge."
