Wei Fu nodded. That's right: "As long as you give me enough money, I can give it a try."
"You just said there's a problem in one county, right? A county has a lot of people, so you should give more. Less won't work. Fu'er previously visited the Rong family's places, and the fee started at five thousand taels. But the number of people in the Rong family is definitely a big gap compared to the entire county."
Wei Fu had been shaking with heartache because she couldn't get the things from King Ping's tomb, but those were her uncle's, and her uncle had so many people to support, so she could only bear the heartache silently.
But these officials are not good people, so it doesn't matter if she cheats them a little, right?
The prince did not stop Wei Fu from raising the price. They mentioned this matter now, which must mean that there is something waiting for them ahead. Since these people have such thoughts in mind, it doesn't matter if Fu'er makes some money along the way.
And if he keeps stopping Wei Fu from agreeing, they will find more excuses, which will be annoying.
The longer he stayed here, the more uncomfortable he felt. He couldn't tell exactly where he felt uncomfortable, but he just felt uneasy and uncomfortable all over, and instinctively wanted to leave.
Zheng Fucheng said with a forced smile: "Don't worry, Princess. For the sake of the people, we are willing to help with all our means."
He was the first to take the lead and took out five thousand taels of silver. Some people who had money took out all the money they had on them, but most of them didn't bring any money. Who knew that there would be such a thing at a banquet!
Wei Fu smiled and said, "You can also use the gold, silver, jade and other jewelry you have on you as a reward."
Men usually don't wear too many accessories when they go out, but women will wear a lot of things when they go out, especially to a banquet like this. When Wei Fu said this, the women were so heartbroken that they almost cried.
But under the gaze of her men, she could only take off everything on her head and hands with tears in her eyes.
Soon, Wei Fu received more than 100,000 taels of silver notes and a basket of jewelry.
She said happily, "I'll take the things out and put them on our carriage first."
Zheng Fucheng quickly said, "Princess, I can just tell someone to release it. How can I let you do such rough work by yourself?"
Wei Fu said honestly, "But I'm worried about you! This is the first time I've met you, and I definitely won't give you my money for safekeeping."
"Then let's do this! I'll let my junior brother do it."
"Brother Zhuzhu, take out the banknotes and this basket of things and put them on our carriage."
When everyone saw Zhu Zhimao moving the things away, they felt a little anxious, especially the women, who felt heartbroken.
I shouldn't have come to this banquet today! What a loss! This princess must be a money-eating beast!
Zheng Fucheng suppressed his desire to slap Wei Fu to death and said with a smile: "Since the princess has accepted the money, please follow us to the altar!"
"We have already built the altar."
The prince frowned: "Didn't Lord Zheng say that something happened in a county under Yuncheng? If something happened in a county under Yuncheng, logically speaking, we should go to that county!"
Wei Fu smiled and said, "It's okay, Fu'er is very capable, we can do it here."
When Zheng Fucheng heard the prince's words, he was about to bring out the speech he had prepared earlier, but he didn't expect that Wei Fu spoke before he could say anything.
He sneered in his heart, what an ignorant kid, who looked down on everything just because he had some ability.
But his face was full of flattery: "This humble official knew that the little princess was very powerful, and thought it would be inappropriate for her to run back and forth, so he set up the altar in the mansion."
The prince looked at Wei Fu with some concern. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the altar.
Prince Wei Fucong blinked his eyes and assured him that there must be something wrong with the altar, but it was precisely because there was a problem that they had to go and take a look!
Long Yin also said: "Your Highness must believe in the Princess's ability."
The prince had no choice but to believe it.
Zheng Fucheng took everyone to the center of Zheng Mansion, where there was a large altar, and it could be seen that the altar was newly built.
In fact, anyone who has been to Zheng Mansion will find that not only has this altar been newly built, but many places in the mansion have been modified.
But even if they found out, they wouldn't think it was a problem.
Although not everyone knows about today's Hongmen Banquet, there are actually quite a few people who know about it.
Most of the officials in Yuncheng are loyal to Prince Ping's Mansion.
Therefore, he hated the court, the prince and Wei Fu.
They all wish they were dead.
When everyone saw Wei Fu climbing up the altar, excitement was hidden in their eyes. The prince was very worried, but he could only suppress it.
Prince Ping and Master Wuji were both below the altar, with a dark figure beside them. Master Wuji said, "Sir, the young princess has come up to the altar."
The shadow said, "Open the mechanism."
Master Wuji immediately pressed the mechanism, and the originally flat altar suddenly cracked in the middle.
Wei Fu walked to the center of the altar and was about to see what was happening when it suddenly cracked. She fell directly from the altar. After the altar cracked, there were densely packed iron needles pointing upwards underneath, like a trap set by a hunter to catch prey.
Just as she was about to jump up, someone grabbed her collar and dragged her down to an open space far away from the altar.
The moment Long Yin saw Wei Fu falling, he jumped up immediately. His speed was so fast that it left an afterimage, so much so that Zheng Fucheng and the others had not yet reacted.
After Long Yin helped Wei Fu to stand firmly, he looked at Zheng Fucheng coldly and asked, "Master Zheng, what does this mean?"
"To kill a princess in broad daylight!"
Zheng Fucheng didn't expect that Wei Fu could escape even in such a situation, nor did he expect that Long Yin's skills were so powerful.
He could only smile and say, "Mr. Long, what are you talking about? How come I don't understand?"
"I didn't know there was anything wrong with this altar. Don't worry, Young Master Long. I will definitely have someone conduct a thorough investigation."
Long Yin knew that these people were in cahoots, and he didn't bother to argue with them. He just said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, there's a trap down there. If the princess falls into it, she'll be pricked like a hedgehog and die instantly."
The prince's expression suddenly changed. He formed claws into his hands and suddenly grabbed Zheng Fucheng's neck. He then dragged him to the side of the altar. He held Zheng Fucheng's body upside down on the side of the altar, so that Zheng Fucheng's face was facing those shining cold iron needles. "Master Zheng, you better tell me the truth. What exactly do you want to do today?"
"Otherwise, I will send you to experience the feeling of being pricked like a hedgehog."
