As he slowly walked into the palace, Tian Chen could sense that everyone's gaze was focused on him. The palace was dark green in color and had a crystal ceiling that was more than ten meters high. There were more than a hundred nobles and ministers standing in two rows inside. There were two chairs opposite the main door. Ferdinand sat on the left side, and on the right side sat an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, but he was wearing a green royal robe and a golden crown. This was King Balgner of Lanning. There were two people standing next to Balgner. One of them was a young man who was obviously drunk and lustful, while the other gave Tian Chen a headache. It was Princess Yuna. Recently, Yuna had frequently invited Tian Chen to attend banquets, but how could Tian Chen dare to go? Therefore, he rejected all of them. Unexpectedly, Princess Yuna was even more interested, and she even came to invite him several times. It made Tian Chen wish he could hide from her. Under Yuna's gaze of 'I've finally caught you', Tian Chen strode forward and bowed in a neither haughty nor humble manner."Heglu's descendant, Francis greets His Majesty Bargner, Godfather Ferdinand!”"Very good. I've heard many people say that you're the virtue of Saint John City. Yuna often mentions you too!”Balgner praised Tian Chen and looked at Ferdinand."Godfather, Francis has your blessing. It's better for you to say it!”Ferdinand nodded and said in a deep voice,""Francis, as you know, the entire family of the Empire's Finance Minister was assassinated by the McAllen Empire. However, even though they are dead, their sins cannot be erased. Therefore, Ferris will give you a portion of the atonement money he owes you from his inheritance! Right now, the ministers of the empire are discussing how much you should receive as compensation!”Although his words were dignified, everyone present understood that the inheritance of the Chancellor of Finance was a huge cake. Everyone wanted it. However, this cake had to be bitten by Tian Chen first, and then the rest would be distributed. Thus, the size of Tianchen's bite became the focus of all the officials. Tian Chen also knew that without Ferdinand's support, the ministers probably would not have left him a single copper coin. But who asked him to have Ferdinand's support? "Godfather, I want to ask you two things. First, how much is the inheritance? Second, how does the sacred cult's code of law determine the amount of atonement money?”"That's right!" Ferdinand laughed."All the inheritance added together is equivalent to about 10,000 gold coins!"”Tian Chen's heart trembled. He had calculated before that a silver coin was roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of 100 dollars in his previous life, and 100 silver coins were equivalent to a gold coin. Therefore, 10,000 gold coins... this was an inheritance that was calculated in terms of hundreds of millions! Perhaps he would be able to advance into the ranks of the millionaires today. Tian Chen was excited, but his face was very calm. This made the officials look at him with a higher gaze. Ferdinand was very satisfied with Tian Chen's calm performance and continued,""Regarding the atonement money, the sacred code of law has the following rules. First, it depends on the identity of both parties. Second…" He rattled on a bunch of legal provisions, and Tian Chen was only interested in the last sentence."Therefore, you should get 30%, which is 3,000 gold coins!”It was about 30 million RMB. Tian Chen's heart beat faster. But at this moment, a general standing in the front row shouted,"This is impossible! 3,000 gold coins is enough to equip an elite regiment. I need this money to improve the security of the Imperial Capital!”Old fart, I'm afraid it's enough for you to buy dozens of beautiful female slaves, right? Tian Chen sized up this general. He was in his fifties, and his face was fair and smooth. His slender eyes were shining brightly. At this moment, Steve introduced him in a low voice. This was the commander of the St. Bowen Army, General Kirisek. "No, I need it to relieve the disaster!" Another person loudly refuted. For a time, before Tian Chen could speak, the officials started arguing again, as if the money was already theirs. "Quiet! Do you want to go against the code of the sacred cult?”Ferdinand said in a deep voice. "Godfather, we don't dare to violate the code of law, but the empire's finances are tight, and we also need gold coins!”Ferdinand looked at Tian Chen."Francis, what do you think?”He glanced coldly at the ministers, knowing that none of these bureaucrats were easy to deal with. Francis might not be able to deal with them, so he had to help Francis and make friends with the mysterious Battle God behind him. Thinking of this, Ferdinand stood up and walked in front of Tian Chen. He pressed his hand on Tian Chen's forehead and said slowly,""Don't care about others. Speak your true thoughts! My name is Ferdinand, and I bless you for the third time!!”After he finished speaking, he stared coldly at the ministers. His aura was like Tian Chen's words,'I'll protect this brat, who dares to threaten him!'？As expected, none of the ministers dared to look him in the eye. "I believe that the sacred cult's code of law cannot be violated!" Tian Chen said with a smile.”In other words, none of you can touch this money. I'm taking it! Some people sneered, but Ferdinand was present to support the Heavenly Earth. The nobles and ministers did not dare to openly violate the code of the Holy Church. However, these people were all old foxes in the officialdom, so they naturally would not be stumped by this. The minister who had been clamoring about the flood in the south walked up to Tian Chen. He was an old man with a cunning expression."My dear Francis, you should abide by the code of the Holy Church. I support you!" Those 3,000 gold coins should be yours too!”Tian Chen smiled at the old man. He knew that the old man had something else to say, so he was not in a hurry to reply. "I heard that you're known as the 'Virtue of St. John's City' and that you're a good person praised by everyone," the old man said."So, I'm asking you on behalf of the victims of the disaster in the south. Please help them and donate some gold coins!"”As he spoke, he actually bowed to Tian Chen, this junior. As soon as he started, Kirithak immediately continued,"Nephew Francis, you come from a military family. Naturally, you should consider the warriors in the army. The soldiers of the Imperial Capital…" Other than Angus, many ministers had made a request to Heavenly Dust with a dignified reason. There was only one meaning, and that was to ask Heavenly Dust to eat the gold coins before spitting them out! Looking at Angus, he wanted to speak, but he pretended not to see Tian Chen. This time, Ferdinand could not interrupt. He turned around and sat on the chair, watching how Tian Chen would deal with it. Perhaps this could also be seen as a test. Tian Chen chuckled as he listened, not offending anyone. However, he was also in a dilemma. Looking at the attitude of the ministers, it was impossible for them to leave him a single copper coin. Moreover, the elegant nobles kept saying high-sounding reasons, which made it impossible for others to refute. He had to hold the gold coins tightly in his hands and not offend anyone! What should he do? Then he would take the money himself and find a fool to take the blame! Tian Chen turned his gaze to King Lan Ning, His Majesty Balgner! "Your Majesty, you call me the 'Virtue of St. John' and I really don't deserve it. However, my original intention was to use this gold coin to help the poor.”He bent down and bowed deeply."Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to help the people in need with me!”…………………………ps New book needs support, please vote
