Chapter 41-Not Even If His Majesty Came
In fact, Cheng Chuwen was not worried that Zhangsun Chong would run away.
In fact, Zhangsun Chong couldn't even run out of the entrance of the Lunar Banquet Hall before he was read back by a group of people.
These people had all bet on Cheng Chuwen's victory, and many of them had been detained.
If Zhangsun Chong ran away, Cheng Chuwen could go to Zhangsun Manor and ask for money from Zhangsun Wuji. Moreover, Zhangsun Wuji had to give it to him.
However, they couldn't do it. Therefore, they were the ones who didn't want to see Zhangsun Chong run away.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Zhangsun Chong immediately acted shamelessly and said,"Cheng Chuwen, so what if you win? Do you really think you can get that 250,000 yuan?
Dream on, I will never give you this money.”
After saying that, Zhangsun Chong turned to look at the group of people who had won money. It was this group of people just now. Otherwise, he would have run out by now.
"You guys don't want it either, don't even want a single one.”
For Zhangsun Chong, he was already too lazy to care about the money of Cheng Chuwen, the biggest guarantor, let alone these small investors.
They were helpless against Zhangsun Chong's shamelessness.
In terms of strength, Zhangsun Chong was Zhangsun Wuji's son and was a relative of the royal family. Among them, the most powerful ones would not be the sons of Rank-4 and Rank-5 officials. How could they compare to Zhangsun Chong?
In terms of face, Zhangsun Chong could act shamelessly in front of so many people. It was obvious that he was already shameless, and they could not compare to him.
However, Cheng Chuwen was different from these people. It was very difficult for Zhangsun Chong to deny Cheng Chuwen's money. It was so difficult that it was almost impossible to succeed.
"Today, if you don't deliver this 250,000 yuan, don't even think about leaving the Lunar Banquet Hall. I'll also let the entire Great Tang know that you, Zhangsun Chong, are a scoundrel who won't admit defeat.”
Pausing for a moment, Cheng Chuwen's face suddenly turned cold."Don't think that just because you're a relative of the royal family, you can go back on your word. Let me tell you, even if His Majesty came today, you wouldn't be able to go back on your word.”
After saying that, Cheng Chuwen turned to the butler who had been following beside him and said,"Go to Zhangsun Manor and tell Zhangsun Wuji to prepare 250,000 strings of money. If he doesn't want his son, then he can forget about it.”
"Fifth Young Master!"
"Go, go now."
"Yes, sir!"
........
The butler rushed to Zhangsun Manor as fast as he could and briefly told Zhangsun Wuji what had happened in the Lunar Banquet Hall. He then added Cheng Chuwen's words.
After hearing these words, Zhangsun Wuji did not take the money to the Lunar Banquet Restaurant. Instead, he chased away the Cheng Clan of the Cheng Residence and rushed to the Imperial Palace.
250,000 was a huge sum even for Zhangsun Wuji.
If he really took out 250,000 strings, then the Zhangsun Manor would not have much left. Therefore, to Zhangsun Wuji, it was best if he could renege on this sum of money.
Zhangsun Wuji was also very clear that if he relied on himself, it would be impossible for him to renege on this huge sum of money. Cheng Chuwen would definitely think of ways to make him take out this huge sum of money.
Therefore, Zhangsun Wuji chose to enter the palace and let Li Shimin come forward to help him get rid of this huge sum of money.
When they arrived at the Dew Palace, Zhangsun Wuji was already in tears. When he saw Li Shiming, he immediately started to feel pain,"Your Majesty, you must uphold justice for me.
Cheng Chuwen took advantage of Chong-er's ignorance and dared to challenge Luo Binwang in the name of poetry. He bet fifty thousand strings and received a compensation of twenty-five hundred thousand strings. But my entire Zhangsun Manor doesn't even have two hundred and fifty thousand strings, how can I afford to pay?”
Seeing Zhangsun Wuji crying, Li Shimin frowned,""What exactly happened? Tell me again, how did Zhangsun Chong get together with Cheng Chuwen?”
Zhangsun Wuji didn't dare to hide anything and honestly told him everything that had happened in the Lunar Banquet Hall. After all, there were so many people in the restaurant that Li Shiming only needed to ask.
Thinking of Cheng Chuwen's personality, Li Shimin couldn't help but say angrily,"Of all the people Zhangsun Chong could have provoked, why did he have to provoke this brat?
Have you ever seen this brat do anything that would make him suffer? Now that you've lost 250,000 strings, you only know how to come to me.”
Li Shi Min sighed and said helplessly,"Zhen will talk to Cheng Chuwen about it, but don't think about denying all 250,000.”
Zhangsun Wuji quickly replied,"Yes, I will compensate you with 50,000 yuan."”
Li Shi Min couldn't be bothered with him and directly ordered his personal eunuch to bring Cheng Chuwen and Zhangsun Chong into the palace.
The personal eunuch responded and left the Dew Palace in a hurry.
Soon, the personal eunuch returned. However, he went alone and returned alone.
Li Shiming frowned." What's going on? Didn't I say to bring Cheng Chuwen and Zhangsun Chong into the palace? Why are you alone?"”
The personal eunuch quickly cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty, General Ding Yuan said that if Zhangsun Chong doesn't compensate him with 250,000 strings of strings, he won't enter the palace again. Also, don't look for him if you have any problems in the future."”
"How dare you."
Li Shi Min was furious, and Zhangsun Wu Ji stood there with his mouth agape. He didn't expect Cheng Chuwen to say such bold words.
