"This old man has lived for so long and has never been beaten.”
"And I've never seen anyone more arrogant than you!"
"Are you asking for a debt?"
"You're here to kill me!"
In the Lu Public House, Cheng Yaojin rubbed his aching forehead as he watched the steward personally count the debt. He sent cart after cart of ox-carts and horse-carriages, preparing to send them to the Ministry of Revenue's government office. At the same time, he turned his head angrily to look at Li Dun.
"..."
Seeing that Li Dun was looking at him speechlessly, as if he was in the right to owe money, Cheng Yaojin did not want to talk about this topic with him. He changed the topic and asked,
"Which shop are you going to next?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"Do you have any suggestions?"”
"You can go to Li Jing's house!"
" As long as you can get the money from Li Jing's mansion, I guarantee that all the officials in the court will send the money to the Ministry of Revenue without you coming to their door," Cheng Yaojin said firmly.”
Li Dun raised his eyebrows.”
"Do you know what a miser is?" Cheng Yaojin asked meaningfully.”
"Not a single cent?" Li Dun asked suspiciously.”
"Does he have fur?"
Cheng Yaojin sneered. Obviously, he knew what kind of person Li Jing was. He couldn't help but hesitate that it was inappropriate for him to say this. With a serious expression, he warned,
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Don't tell him what I said. If Li Jing hears this, I'll have to suffer.”
"So sinister?" Li Dun was stunned.
Cheng Yaojin nodded solemnly."You brat, you're much worse than him."
"I'm fine."
"I have a scheming ancestor.”
In the emperor chat group.
Liu Bang was speechless. Is this kid praising me or insulting me?"
Ying Zheng: "(*^▽^*) Eh, I can tell. He seems to be praising you, you coward!"”
Liu Bang was speechless.
It didn't sound like it at all, especially when the First Emperor spoke in such a tone. It felt like he was cursing!
————
When the servants sent by the court officials to act as spies saw the wooden boxes filled with coins being transported out of the mansion by ox-carts and carriages, they all became stunned.
Cheng Yaojin was also scared?
The more the servants thought about it, the more incredulous they felt. It didn't make sense. How could the Great Demon King of Chaos be afraid? What exactly happened inside?
Soon, many people rushed into the Duke Lu Residence.
"Get out!"
" Who let you in?!"
With Cheng Yaojin's roar, everyone fled.
How would they know that it wasn't that Cheng Yaojin didn't want to say it, but that he was too ashamed to say it out loud? Telling others that he, a Duke, had been beaten up by a fourteen-year-old youth? And then hand over the money obediently?
Wouldn't he be laughed to death?
The hearts of all the officials sank to the bottom when they did not receive any news from State Duke Lu.
Cheng Yaojin, who was known as the Great Demon King of Chaos, had now given in.
What should they do next?
"Wait a little longer-"
"Right, there's still a miser whose feathers haven't been plucked!”
"Shh…Don't let Li Jing hear you, or you'll be dead!”
"That's right. Duke Wei is a schemer. That's the gentle breeze and drizzle style. After scheming against you, you still have to thank him!”
The servants, who were acting as spies, discussed animatedly again. Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Dun, curious about which house he would go to next.
What shocked everyone was that…
The Ninth Prince, Li Dun, actually went to Duke Wei's residence!
"Quick, go back. Something big has happened!”
"This news is incredible!"
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince actually went to ask that miser for a debt!”
The news spread like wildfire, and all the officials in the court were shocked.
State Duke of Liang's residence.
Fang Xuanling had been feeling a little depressed after being tricked by Li Dun. When he heard the news from the servant, a smile suddenly appeared on his round face. He muttered to himself,
"When the two of them meet, it'll depend on who can win.”
Lu Guogong Mansion.
"Hahahahaha, this kid has been fooled!”
When Cheng Yaojin heard that Li Dun had really gone to look for Li Jing, he covered the bump on his forehead that had been punched out. He laughed until tears flowed out. As he wiped his tears, he said in a hoarse voice, unable to hide his laughter,
"He really dared to run to Li Jing. Isn't that like an egg hitting a rock?”
"Duke, if His Highness the Ninth Prince were to do the same thing as we did in our mansion and play some kind of all-conquering move, would Duke Wei be able to withstand it?" The middle-aged steward asked curiously.”
"You underestimate Li Jing!"
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and grinned."He doesn't buy it!"
Duke Wei's mansion.
When Li Dun arrived, he was dumbfounded.
The residences of the other High Dukes were all rich and imposing. They were grand and beautiful, and people could tell that they were of great status.
However, Li Jing's mansion…
Dust and dead leaves were everywhere outside the door.
The only words left on the plaque were the words "Wei Residence". Those who did not know better would think that the owner of this house was not surnamed Li but Wei!
The most unbelievable thing was that the red gate of Duke Wei's mansion was gone. Only two old and broken fences were left to act as the gate!
In the emperor chat group.
"Is this the Public House?"
"How unpopular is this Li Jing?"”
"Why do I feel that something is wrong?"”
"I think so too."
Ying Zheng said," This Li Jing looks like a troublemaker at first glance. Liu Bang, look at you this time. Don't embarrass us. In terms of playing dirty, you're his ancestor!"”
Liu Bang,"(▽) Sigh, I've met my match this time."”
Li Dun also felt that the opponent he would encounter would be very difficult to deal with. Just by looking at the pair of dilapidated wooden fences, he knew that this guy had taken an unorthodox path.
If you were fighting with two martial arts experts, you would have to stop at a certain point. The other party would come up with a gun and point it at your head. What the hell was this? It was impossible to guard against it!
At this moment, just as Li Dun was planning to discuss countermeasures with the emperors in the group, a thin figure in a purple robe walked out with a sad expression.
