I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

"Wait a moment, my Sanlang is not here, I will go and ask the master to make the decision."

After saying that, the doorman quickly ran towards the mansion.

Fang Xuanling was having a rare day off, so he was sitting in his study, flipping through books, listening to the sound of rain, smelling incense, and enjoying his leisure time.

A burst of urgent shouting came, making him frown.

"Master, it's a big deal, please go to the gate and take a look!"

Chapter 430: The previous show of goodwill was treating me like a fool!

Fang Xuanling frowned, put down the book helplessly, and sighed:

"Ah, there is no free time."

Then he stood up and walked to the door. Looking at the doorman and housekeeper Lao Liu running towards him in the corridor, he said in a deep voice:

"Acting in a panic and shouting loudly is disgraceful!"

Old Liu didn't care about anything else, his eyes lit up and his voice trembled as he said:

"Master, the Cui family of Qinghe has sent money!"

"Four million and a dozen carriages are parked outside the gate of the mansion!"

"You, you go and have a look!"

Fang Xuanling had a stern and dignified face, and his mind was filled with the six big words "Four million one hundred thousand strings of cash".

The next moment, he trembled all over, picked up his skirt, and ran away.

Four million and one hundred thousand strings of cash!

Even the emperor’s private treasury didn’t have that much money.

How could this incorruptible Shangshu Zuo Pushe not lose his composure!

He ran all the way to the gate of the mansion, then stopped and walked slowly.

But the Duke of Wei’s Mansion was so huge that he ran all the way.

Fang Xuanling walked to the door, his face still flushed and his forehead sweating.

However, when I saw the long line of carriages on the street outside the mansion,

Our current left prime minister's breathing suddenly became rapid.

It's all money!

It’s all his Fang family’s money!

Don't say it's his son's!

What belongs to his son is also his!

Four million and one hundred thousand strings of cash!

It's right in front of us!

Even with His Majesty in front of me, I can't keep my sanity!

"Meet the Duke of Wei!"

The driver smiled and bowed respectfully to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling suppressed his excitement and said calmly:

"Are you from the Cui family of Qinghe?"

"Yes, I am following the order of the master of the family to send 4.1 million strings of cash to the Duke of Wei's mansion. Please check it!"

"Old Liu, send someone to check the inventory!"

Fang Xuanling waved his hand, turned around and left with steady steps.

That is the elegant temperament of treating money as dirt, which is admirable.

The driver was full of admiration and said:

"Duke Wei regards money as dirt. Even with 4.1 million strings of cash in front of him, he is so calm and composed. It's really admirable!"

But while he was speaking, Fang Xuanling entered the mansion, jumped over the screen wall of the gate, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

He clenched his fists and ran quickly to the treasury!

He wants to see with his own eyes that 4.1 million strings of cash are deposited into the treasury!

......

Imperial City, Taiji Palace, inside the imperial study of Taiji Hall.

Li Shimin frowned as he listened to the guard's report.

"You mean, Qinghe Cui clan escorted 4.1 million strings of cash through the streets and delivered them to the Duke of Wei's mansion?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't shout along the way, let the people of Chang'an know that the Qinghe Cui family is willing to accept the loss and pay off the gambling debt, including the 100,000 strings of cash that were deferred!"

The guard reported truthfully.

Li Shimin stood up, his brows furrowed even more tightly. He walked back and forth, thinking about the source.

After more than ten breaths.

Li Shimin suddenly stopped, with deep fear in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'd rather sell everything I have to pay for this!"

"Let Chang'an and the world know that your Qinghe Cui family is as wealthy as a country and is based on integrity!"

"You are not willing to give me some benefits and pay less money."

"You were treating me like a fool when you showed me kindness before!"

“You guys are awesome!”

At the end of his speech, Li Shimin gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger.

All the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall lowered their heads and stared at their toes, their eyes filled with panic.

Li Shimin took deep breaths continuously and quickly calmed himself down.

He sat back on the dragon throne and regained his previous calm composure.

The dragon's eyes kept flickering, and it was obvious that he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, he placed his hands on the table and squinted his eyes.

"No, this is a sudden change of heart, and it violates the agreement with me!"

"Who came up with the idea?"

Chapter 431: Husband, do you want to find Fang Xiang and ask him for a solution?

Li Shimin took a deep breath, his eyes full of fierceness:

"My people didn't even find out. It seems that they are really incompetent!"

"Let Xingzhi help me train the discs early!"

After a pause, Li Shimin thought of Zhou Peizhao's hundred men, his eyes full of anticipation.

"The one-month deadline is coming to an end, and those hundred men are training well."

"But whether they can defeat the Black Armored Cavalry is still unknown."

"If I can really defeat him..."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth rose.

......

In the Fang family’s No. 1 farm.

Sitting in the main hall, looking at the sky with heavy rain in a daze, Fang Yiyi received a message from the Duke of Wei's mansion.

I learned that the Cui family of Qinghe was parading around the city and paid a bet of 4.1 million strings of cash.

He sat up straight abruptly, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

"What? You paid all the money? Even the overdue interest?"

"How much benefit did the Qinghe Cui family promise to the Xingyang Zheng family, Boling Cui family, and Taiyuan Wang family?"

After a pause, Fang Yiyi stood up, looked in the direction of Chang'an, clicked his tongue and said:

"Qinghe Cui clan severely slapped your majesty in the face."

"Your Majesty cannot deal with four families at once, but dealing with the Qinghe Cui family is still easy."

"The Qinghe Cui family is having a hard time!"

In the mansion of Duke Su.

Mrs. Cui looked solemn and worried.

Her well-maintained hands were clasped together.

"Master, what should I do?"

Cheng Yaojin's face darkened, his fists clenched tightly, making a creaking sound, and he said unhappily:

"What can we do?"

"The Yue family has severely slapped your majesty in the face. Your majesty cares most about his reputation. It will be difficult to say in the future."

Cui's face became more and more worried, and she sighed:

"Ah, we've been running around and worrying so much."

"Now you change your mind without informing us!"

"The master finally managed to smooth things over in front of His Majesty."

"Once this incident happened, His Majesty will ignore me again."

Tears flowed from Cui's eyes.

The anger in Cheng Yaojin's heart disappeared instantly the moment Cui's tears flowed.

He walked to Cui with heartache and hugged her in his arms.

The palm-leaf fan gently stroked his wife's hair and comforted her:

"Ma'am, don't be sad."

"Your Majesty knows what kind of person I am, Old Cheng."

"You know what kind of person His Majesty is!"

"I'll explain the situation to His Majesty. He won't blame me!"

"This is it. The Yue family has disappointed you this time. Promise me that you will not interfere in their affairs anymore."

Cui felt her husband's firm embrace, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and nodded:

"Well, from now on, never mind!"

The couple hugged each other tenderly for a while.

Cui left her husband's arms, looked up at her husband who was a tough but tender person, and suggested:

"My husband, you have a straightforward temper and speak too directly."

"My husband, do you want to find Fang Xiang and ask him for a solution?"

"Let's see how to better explain this matter to His Majesty!"

His thick eyebrows twitched, and Cheng Yaojin hesitated.

I had agreed to visit you in person, but there has never been a good opportunity.

In private, he blocked Fang Xuanling and had a drink with him.

It was agreed that after settling the bet with the Cui family of Qinghe, the whole family would go to visit.
