Hu Sandiao took a puff of cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke.
"You guys want to exchange ten thousand taels of gold now?"
Bian Muyu nodded, "Exactly."
"This requires verifying 100,000 taels of silver, which will take a long time. Why don't you all come back tomorrow?"
"Boss, we have something urgent to do."
The Baolong Money House was the most reputable bank in the Yu Dynasty. Since the other party had the silver notes from the Baolong Money House, Hu Sandiao had no reason to refuse.
So he could only say: "In that case, let's arrange for the vote check."
Bian Muyu handed over a silver note with the largest denomination of one thousand taels. Hu Santiao didn't dare to believe it. If he got a fake one, he would have to pay a huge price.
It took a full half hour, and while Bian Muyu and others were anxiously tormented, Hu San Tiao personally checked the one hundred silver bills.
Bian Muyu and his three companions finally got four neatly stacked boxes of gold.
They lifted the four boxes onto the carriage, and it was indeed a carriage full of gold.
Lan Kai drove the car himself, while Bian Muyu, Yan Liangze and Bian Ronger sat in a carriage at the back and headed towards the Fu Mansion.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver to buy a meeting with Fu Xiaoguan... This guy really has a big appetite!"
"Your Highness, this is the way to look at it. Even Fu Xiaoguan likes gold, which shows the corruption among the officials of the Yu Dynasty. This is a good thing for our dynasty. Now that our country has been defeated and General Feng Xianchu has been imprisoned, there are more and more voices in the court that are unfavorable to Your Highness."
"We can't afford to waste time now. It's been over two months since we arrived from the Yi Kingdom. Your Highness, please be aware that heresy has arisen within the court, and those voices are all vaguely pointing to your Highness. There's no smoke without fire, so this matter must be taken seriously. We must return home as soon as possible."
"General Feng needs to be rescued, the court situation needs to be calmed, His Majesty needs to regain his respect, and the foundation of the Eastern Palace needs to be consolidated... All of these things affect Your Highness's future. Your Highness is not like Fu Xiaoguan. You have several brothers, and they are not easy to deal with. It is hard to say whether they will cause any trouble during Your Highness's absence from the court."
Yan Liangze looked up and sighed. He knew all of this. He originally wanted to return to the city after the Yu Dynasty affairs were concluded in three to five days, but he never expected that the Yu Dynasty negotiations would make Fu Xiaoguan play against the rules.
Now that I think about it, this guy clearly wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make money!
Just think of it as a way to ward off disaster.
"I hope this fellow can start negotiations tomorrow after receiving this gold... I heard that my sixth brother, Yan Hanyu, was good friends with Fu Xiaoguan during the Wu Dynasty. This brother... I underestimated him."
Bian Muyu was silent for a moment. "This matter is rather strange. The Sixth Prince is already dull, yet now he dares to covet the throne of the Crown Prince. There must be someone behind this. I heard that his mother, Concubine Lian, hired a tutor at Wutong Academy named Ji Yungui. It is said that since Mr. Ji came to Wutong Academy, Concubine Lian has often visited him. It is also said that he is extremely talented and wise... Your Highness must investigate him thoroughly."
There was a hint of viciousness in Yan Liangze's eyes. He had been paying attention to Ji Yungui for a long time, but he still had no evidence to prove his mistake.
"This person's background is indeed somewhat strange, so we must investigate..." Yan Liangze said in a low voice, and after a moment's hesitation, he continued, "Master Bian, in your opinion, the Yu Dynasty is still sending red cannons to the east. Could it be that the Yu Dynasty really wants to fight a war?"
Bian Muyu thought for a moment, "Yesterday, this old minister secretly contacted Xue Kailian, just to find out what Yu Chao's mentality is."
"What did Xue Kailian say?"
"He said... it was just a facade, most likely a trick by Fu Xiaoguan. According to Xue Kailian, the Yu Dynasty may appear prosperous, but its treasury is actually already empty. What a pity! If our army can hold off the eastern border troops for another three months, the Yu Dynasty will surely be brought down. By then... it will be the Yu Dynasty that will demand peace."
Yan Liangze also sighed in his heart. The defeat in this battle was due to the red cannon made by that bastard Fu Xiaoguan!
If it weren't for that magical weapon, even if the Yu Dynasty transferred Yu Chunqiu's southern border troops, even if General Feng was defeated, the most he could do was to defend the city of Holland.
As long as they can hold Holland City for two or three months, the Yu Dynasty’s logistics will be unsustainable and they will be defeated!
But it happened that the Yu army used the red cannon to defend Lanling City, and used the red cannon to blast the Yi army back to Ximayuan, and then used this thing to blast open the gate of Huolan City, and even broke through the important town of Daqiu!
Fu Xiaoguan, this bastard, although he did not participate in the Eastern War, he completely influenced the course of the Eastern War and led to the current situation. But I still have to keep my face in my pocket and bring this carriage full of gold to beg him.
What the hell!
Yan Liangze's heart was difficult to calm down. He felt that the shame was like a thorn in his throat, which he could neither swallow nor spit out. He felt extremely uncomfortable and aggrieved.
"Your Highness is a precious person. You should focus on the overall interests of the Yi Kingdom. Don't let a mere official like Fu make you lose your mind."
Bian Muyu looked at Yan Liangze's gloomy face and gave him some advice.
Yan Liangze let out a long sigh and nodded.
The most important thing now is to finish the journey to the Yu Dynasty, return to the country as soon as possible, stabilize the East Palace, rescue the general Feng Xianchu, win over the ministers, and wait for the ascension to the throne.
When that time comes... I will lead the army myself!
…
…
The banquet at the Fu Mansion has ended.
Fu Xiaoguan and Su Jue were sitting in Taoranting enjoying the breeze, Su Su was swinging on the swing facing the dark Xuanwu Lake, Su Rou was still embroidering, and Dong Shulan and the other two had returned to their rooms to rest.
"Big Brother, that Frost Moon you made is capable of knocking down Saint-level warriors. Why didn't you use that poison pill when you fought Miao Xiaoxiao in Pingling?"
Su Jue straightened his hat, looking troubled: "Because I don't have any more."
Fu Xiaoguan felt a little regretful. "You have to take the time to make more of this good stuff. I don't have any left."
Su Jue looked at Fu Xiaoguan with resentment, "This thing... is not that easy to make. There are only three of them. One was used on Master during the experiment, and the other two are for you."
Uh... Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose embarrassedly. If he had known that this thing was so precious, he should not have used it on those ants at Lantingji during the Lantern Festival last year.
Li Zheng came running over again, his face full of joy. "Master, those three people are here again, and this time there's one more person. They brought a carriage and said... they brought gold."
Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand and said, "Bring them in!"
Yan Liangze and his three companions finally entered the Fu Mansion. Led by Li Zheng, they came to Taoranting.
Fu Xiaoguan stood up and laughed heartily: "Brother Yan, thank you for your expense! Come on, come on, please take a seat... Little Li, go and check if the gold is real!"
The smile that had just appeared on Yan Liangze's face froze, and he almost vomited blood.
