Zhang He came out of the manor and looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was standing in front of the crowd. He asked expressionlessly,""Eunuch, may I know why you came to the British Public House so late at night?”
He wanted to know what Wei Zhongxian wanted to do by coming to the British Public House in the middle of the night. Was Zhu Qiyu going to make a move on the Zhang family?
This was crucial.
Wei Zhongxian's face was blank as he looked at Zhang He and said,""Where's Zhang Rong? Let him out. You can't make the decision for what I want to talk about.”
Although Zhang He was Zhang He's second brother, his brain was not as good as Zhang He's. Therefore, after Zhang Fu's death, Zhang He had been in charge of the British Public House.
"You…"
Hearing this, Zhang He was furious. As the elder brother, he had to listen to his younger brother's arrangements. This was naturally a very disgraceful thing.
In the past, due to the power of the British Public House, no one dared to mention this matter in front of him.
Now that Wei Zhongxian had mercilessly exposed it, he was furious.
"Second brother!"
Zhang Rong's voice came from behind the door.
The next moment, Zhang He walked out of the door and cupped his hands at Wei Zhongxian."Eunuch, please come to the residence.”
After Zhang Rong left, he hesitated and couldn't rest assured, so he got up and followed him.
He didn't dare to be careless when the East Chamber came to visit him late at night.
"Hehe, no wonder Third Master is able to control the British Public House.”
Wei Zhongxian smiled and glanced at Zhang Wei, unable to enter the British Public House.
Zhang He's face turned green and red. He felt a deep sense of humiliation and wanted to flare up. However, he clearly understood that a little impatience would ruin the plan. If he touched Wei Zhongxian now, Zhu Qiyu would probably send an army to destroy the British Public House tomorrow.
"Second brother, calm down. The empress dowager has to avoid King Hun's attack.”
Zhang He patted his shoulder and said in a low voice.
Then, he turned around and returned to the residence.
Zhang Rong clenched his fists tightly, his eyes cold. However, he did not say anything in the end and turned around to return to the British Public House.
...
In the living room!
"Eunuch, may I know your name?" Zhang Rong asked with a smile.”
He was unfamiliar with Wei Zhongxian, but he didn't look down on him.
To be able to lead the people of the East Chamber and talk about the supervisor, Wei Zhongxian's identity was self-evident. He must be the new supervisor of the East Chamber promoted by Zhu Qiyu.
"I am Wei Zhongxian, highly regarded by His Highness. I am currently the supervisor of the East Chamber.”
Wei Zhongxian introduced himself.
He was very easy-going and had a faint smile on his face, like a smiling tiger.
Zhang Shou looked at Wei Zhongxian and pondered for a moment before saying,"Governor Wei, you must have something for you to come here late at night. Why don't you tell us? If there's anything that the British Public House can help with, please tell us.”
He looked at Wei Zhongxian in front of him with deep fear in his eyes.
Although Wei Zhongxian looked very honest and had a faint smile on his face, for some reason, he felt a deep sense of unease from Wei Zhongxian.
In addition, he knew very well what kind of place the East Chamber was. Wei Zhongxian was able to quickly become the supervisor of the East Chamber, which showed that this fatty was not simple.
"Hehe, Third Master is straightforward. Since this is the case, I will not be polite. Third Master is also clear about the current situation of the Great Ming Dynasty. The country is in danger. I hope that the British Public House can be an example and help to resist the invasion of the Wala.”
Wei Zhongxian smiled and gave a thumbs up to Zhang He.
He knew very well that the British Public House was a tough nut to crack. It was not easy to get the British Public House to fork out money, but as long as the British Public House did, it would be much easier to deal with the other dignitaries.
Zhang Rong's heart sank, but he smiled on the surface.""I understand what you mean, but I neglected this matter. I should have brought it up in front of King Hun. In that case, you wouldn't have to come here.”
After saying that, he waved his hand at the maid beside him and instructed,"Go to the storeroom and get ten thousand silver notes.”
"Ten thousand silver notes?"
The smile on Wei Zhongxian's face slowly faded as he said indifferently,""Third Master, the nobility and the court are bound together. Now that the Ming Dynasty is facing its greatest crisis since the founding of the country, isn't it a little too little for the British Public House, as the head of the nobility, to only take out ten thousand taels?”
10,000 taels?
With a helpless expression, Zhang Rong cried out," You don't know this, Governor. The British Public House may look glorious on the surface, but in reality, every family has their own difficulties. This house is really not rich. We really can't take out too much money."”
To him, it was already good enough for the British Public House to fork out ten thousand taels of silver.
"Zhang Rong, I think you're refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless.”
Wei Zhongxian's face darkened as he said coldly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Seeing Wei Zhongxian turn hostile, the group of East Chamber foreigners immediately drew their sabers from their waists.
Zhang Rong's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said,""Supervisor, what are you doing? I really don't have any money left in the mansion. How about this, I'll add another ten thousand taels, okay?”
He didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to fall out with him so easily. As expected of someone Zhu Qiyu had promoted.
Looking at the murderous East Chamber natives, he knew that 10,000 taels might not be enough to send them away, so he added another 10,000 taels.
Wei Zhongxian stood up and looked straight at Zhang He. A fierce look flashed in his eyes."Fifty thousand taels of gold. Otherwise, I will have my men slaughter the entire British Public House and then commit suicide to apologize to His Highness.”
If one was not ruthless, one would not be able to stand steadily.
Before coming to the British Public House, he had already mentally prepared himself.
"Fifty thousand taels!"
"Gold!"
Zhang Rong was stunned. He knew that Wei Zhongxian wouldn't be sent away so easily, but he was still stunned by Wei Zhongxian's exorbitant demand.
In the next moment, his face revealed a look of resentment."Wei Zhongxian, just kill me. The British Public House can't give you the money you want.”
"Go, arrest everyone in the British Public House.”
Wei Zhongxian waved at his subordinates.
He knew that Zhang Meng wouldn't give in easily, but he wasn't in a hurry. Night had just fallen, so he had plenty of time to play with Zhang Meng.
"Wei Zhongxian, what do you want? I want to see King Hun!”
A hint of panic flashed in Zhang Rong's eyes. If Wei Zhongxian really massacred the entire British Public House because of this, then things would be terrible.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two East Chamber foreigners stepped forward and held down Zhang He from both sides.
Wei Zhongxian's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were cold."The Prince is not someone you can meet just because you want to. There are only two paths in front of you now. Either you obediently hand over the money, or you let the British Public House die with me…"
