Zhao Mingya glared at Anquan: "Even if it's Eunuch An, he has no right to meddle in the affairs of my mansion, right?"
Anquan said slowly, "It seems that you don't want to repay the debt?"
Zhao Mingya was about to speak, but Zhao Chenhan pulled her aside and said, "Please forgive us, sir. It's not that we don't want to pay it back, it's just that we couldn't come up with this much money in a short period of time."
Anquan laughed sharply, "If you can't come up with the money, you can use something to pay it back. Are you really saying that if you can't come up with the money in your lifetime, you won't have to pay it back for the rest of your life?"
Zhao Chenhan suppressed his anger and looked at Feng Siyuan: "What exactly does Lord Feng mean?"
Feng Siyuan said, "I have transferred your debt to Eunuch An. Now it is a matter between you two."
"you?"
Zhao Chenhan almost vomited blood.
Feng Siyuan is very dark.
Zhao Lin wanted 200,000 taels of silver from each person before sending troops, but he wanted 500,000 taels.
Forced by the situation at the time, Han Yuehua agreed, but only gave part of it, which was what Zhao Lin asked for, and wrote an IOU to Feng Siyuan for the rest.
Although it was an IOU, Han Yuehua was sure that Feng Siyuan would not dare to come to ask for it.
If he dared to come to her house, Han Yuehua would send someone to kill him.
Feng Siyuan also knew this, so he just took some benefits and let it go.
But he didn't expect that Anquan would take a fancy to him and force Zhao Chenhan to pay the money.
Feng Siyuan naturally didn't want to get involved.
Holding the IOU, Anquan said, "It is only natural to pay back a debt. If you don't, I will sue you before His Majesty."
Zhao Chenhan took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress his anger, and said, "Eunuch, calm down. It's not that I don't want to pay it back, I just don't have the money."
"We don't care. You have to pay it back whether you have it or not." Anquan said in a shrill voice.
Zhao Chenhan looked at Anquan solemnly: "So, the father-in-law really wants it?"
Anquan said angrily: "Why, do you still want to threaten our family?"
"The eunuch is a close associate of His Majesty, so naturally I wouldn't dare." Zhao Chenhan said coldly, "But since the eunuch is forcing me like this, I'm not afraid to sue His Majesty."
Anquan was furious: "Well, you are right not to pay the debt. Let's go and sue His Majesty. I want to see how you dare."
Zhao Jingzhou had troops under his command, but he was not a powerful official, only a favorite.
Zhu Zhongyan is a powerful eunuch.
Others can give Zhao Jingzhou face, but they don’t have to give him safety.
Besides, Zhao Jingzhou had impeached Zhu Zhongyan many times, and the relationship between the two sides was not good. Why not deal with them if there was a chance?
As for the fact that Emperor Chengping is about to die, Prince Yu may come to the throne next, and the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion may rise with the tide, so safety is not a concern.
If the sky falls, Zhu Zhongyan will hold it up.
Besides, the Marquis of Zhenbei has always been at odds with Zhu Zhongyan. If they don’t take this opportunity to strike a heavy blow to him, when will they?
Zhao Mingya quickly stopped Zhao Chenhan and said to Anquan, "Eunuch An, please don't bring this little matter to His Majesty, okay?"
Anquan snorted coldly, "It is Prince Zhao who is going to complain to His Majesty."
Zhao Mingya smiled apologetically, "He was just joking with you, father-in-law. Don't take it to heart. How about this? We'll pay part of it first, and then pay the rest when we have money. How about that?"
Anquan sneered, "We know how much silver Lord Zhao makes every year at Zhenbei Pass. Even if the national treasury is out of money, your Zhenbei Marquisate is certainly not out of money. Stop talking nonsense and pay me back!"
Zhao Mingya gritted her teeth in anger and said, "So, the father-in-law must want it now?"
Anquan said: "Yes, what's the matter?"
Zhao Mingya took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "In that case, please go to His Majesty and sue us."
Naturally, I don’t dare to go there for safety reasons.
There is no need to explain the reason, he cannot win the lawsuit.
But whoever sues will be in trouble.
Anquan's face looked ugly.
This is clearly cheating.
Just then.
Zhao Lin came over.
"Eunuch An, although the Zhenbei Marquisate is rich, they want to keep it for big things and will not compensate you."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "How about we just compensate for part of it first, so that everyone can have an explanation?"
Anquan said, "Give Lord Zhao your respect and give him 100,000 taels first."
Zhao Mingya glared at Zhao Lin: "Don't bother me."
Zhao Lin shrugged. "If Eunuch An comes to me to complain, I'll have no choice but to order his arrest."
"You?" Zhao Mingya glared.
Anquan's eyes lit up and he said, "Master Zhao, we want to file a lawsuit against the Zhenbei Marquisate for refusing to repay the debt. You have to help us."
Zhao Lin looked at Zhao Mingya and Zhao Chenhan leisurely, "You two, what do you want me to do?"
Zhao Mingya cursed: "Zhao Lin, you bastard..."
Zhao Chenhan quickly stopped Zhao Mingya and said, "Just as Eunuch An said, pay 100,000 taels first."
Zhao Lin said expressionlessly, "It's too late. You haven't repaid your debts, insulted me, and disregarded the law. Come, arrest me. I will bring you before His Majesty to face charges."
A group of yamen runners came up immediately and wanted to lock the man up.
"Zhao Lin!"
Zhao Mingya said angrily, "Do you really want to do this?"
Sudi snorted coldly, "You're talking too much nonsense. Arrest him and put him in jail first. When you have time to go to Beijing, bring him back."
"Wait, we'll double the money." Zhao Chenhan said quickly.
Zhao Lin looked towards safety.
Anquan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Forget it. The Marquis of Zhenbei is defending the border against foreign enemies. How can we arrest his children for such a trivial matter? I'll just give him 500,000 taels first."
Zhao Chenhan gritted his teeth and said, "We don't have that much on us."
Anquan's face darkened: "Are you kidding me?"
Zhao Chenhan quickly said, "I'll lend it to you first. Lord Feng knows how to do it."
Feng Siyuan said calmly, "Yes, I lent Mr. Zhao 500,000 taels last time."
