was come to collect debts, and it was impossible for Zhu Changluo, who was His Royal Highness the Prince, not to be angry.

Yes, his master owes a lot of money outside, but which of those creditors dares to come to the door to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for it!

Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, this kind of behavior is simply not taking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his eyes, and it is the biggest distrust of His Royal Highness the Prince!

But Zhu Changluo knew that since the other party came to the door, he had no fear. And what the other party said was right, just because he was the prince, he had to pay back.

If he doesn't pay it back, the consequences will be quite serious.

You know, his father who was the emperor didn't know that his son owed such a bad debt, and now it was rumored that he was making a bitter plan in order to frame Zheng Guifei, and he wanted his father to know that he owed debts, Zhu Changluo didn't dare to imagine what his father would think.

Therefore, the matter still has to be resolved.

Zhu Changluo didn't dare to let this slave surnamed Chen take his loan contract and ask his father to administer justice.

However, it's okay to pay it back, but the problem is that there's no money.

Wang An also frowned on the side, he was the chief steward of the East Palace, but he didn't know how much money the master had borrowed outside.

At the beginning, he also advised the master not to borrow excessively, this kind of day of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall could not last long, the reason why the creditors could tolerate it and let the East Palace still be able to turn around was because of the prince's status as the prince.

But once people don't recognize the identity of this prince, the little master's use of usury will immediately spread throughout the court, and then it will be out of control.

Once Concubine Zheng Guifei and the officials who are interested in King Fu take advantage of this matter, it will be another major crisis for the position of the prince of the young master.

The little master didn't listen, not only borrowed money from outsiders, but also borrowed money from Wei Liangchen and his sister Shouning from the concubine's faction, now it's okay, the surname Wei sent someone to collect debts, and this East Palace is turned over and there is no money to pay back people!

"Is it true that Father-in-law Xiao Wei called you over?"

Zhu Changluo held a glimmer of hope, when Wei Liangchen lent him silver, he said that His Royal Highness would take the money first, and he would not be in a hurry to pay it back, and he would pay it back when he could.

It doesn't make sense to say that if you turn your face, you will turn your face.

Doesn't the little Wei father-in-law look very good, how can he be this kind of person?

Zhu Changluo really didn't believe it.

"Your Highness, this is Grandpa Wei's carte benticienary."

Chen Mo took out a letter of entrustment signed by Father-in-law Wei as if he were playful. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking at the power of attorney in a daze, he took out a power of attorney signed by Princess Shouning herself.

Zhu Changluo didn't say anything, because he didn't know what to do.

Wang An coughed lightly on the side and asked Chen Mo, "How much does Your Highness owe?" ”

"How much money Your Highness borrows, doesn't Your Highness know?" Chen Mo said in surprise.

"Presumptuous!"

Wang An's face sank.

"Slaves don't dare!"

Chen Mo hurriedly bowed, and then put the loan contract on the table, "These are the loan contracts signed by His Royal Highness, and according to the contract, His Royal Highness needs to repay a total of 260,000 taels of principal and interest. ”

"So much?"

Wang Anxin was shocked, and before he could speak, the master stood up "open-mindedly" and said angrily: "Nonsense, I only borrowed 150,000 taels, why do I have to pay back 260,000 taels!" ”

"Your Highness, Gonggong Wei's 100,000 taels expired in July last year, but His Royal Highness has not taken the initiative to repay it, and according to the contract, he has to pay a late fee... The specific terms are here, Your Highness, please see..."

Chen Mo pointed to the two lines of small print at the bottom of the loan contract to His Royal Highness the Prince, "For this loan alone, His Royal Highness needs to pay off the interest and fines of 50,000 taels, a total of 150,000 taels." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the other two loan contracts, "Her Royal Highness the princess These two are due normally, and Her Royal Highness only needs to repay 110,000 taels with interest, a total of 260,000 taels... Your Highness can rest assured, the numbers are all handled according to the contract, and if Your Highness feels that something is wrong, you can hand over the letter to Shuntianfu... How Shuntianfu judges, let's come. ”

"You..."

Zhu Changluo was speechless angrily, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliver a complaint to Shuntianfu to release Gao Li!

Wang An looked at the three loan contracts very carefully, and finally came to the conclusion that according to the so-called contract, that is, the content of the contract, the master should indeed repay so much money.

"Companion, is there something wrong with this?" Zhu Changluo said in a low voice, if there is a problem with the contract, he can use it to delay.

Wang An shook his head.

Zhu Changluo was disappointed, and his heart sank, he really wanted to tear up these three loan contracts. But reason told him that he couldn't tear it.

"Your Highness, do you think this money slave will take it today or come back tomorrow?" Chen Mo said respectfully.

"This..."

Zhu Changluo looked at Wang An.

What can Wang An do, if you want to say tens of thousands of taels, he, Wang Daban, smashed the pot and sold the iron to sell a few properties under his name, and he can still make it up for the master, even if he sells the 200,000 taels, there is no ah.

Today, tomorrow, there is no money to pay back.

"Can you live a while?" Wang An thought for a while and asked.

Chen Mo shook his head and said: "Princess, if Her Royal Highness the princess said in the past, I am afraid that it will be accommodating, but Grandpa Wei's money is really unbearable, and the imperial officers and soldiers are waiting for this money to be paid." ”

"Pay?"

Zhu Changluo and Wang An's faces changed in unison.

"Yes, this military salary can't be delayed, Your Highness doesn't know it, Qiu Ba below is willing to work for the court when he eats food, if there is no military salary, they will make trouble, and it will be a big trouble, not only Gonggong Wei is unlucky, I'm afraid His Royal Highness will also be implicated here." Chen Mo looked embarrassed.

Zhu Changluo slowly sat on the chair, full of remorse in his heart, if he knew that Wei Liangchen had borrowed his military salary, he would not have been able to ask for it even if he was killed.

Wang An was also bitter, he began to wonder if this matter was a conspiracy from the beginning, and after the master was fooled, Wei Liangchen implicated the master through the mutiny, so as to achieve their ulterior goal - to overthrow the prince.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Wang An didn't speak, Chen Mo couldn't help but be anxious, so he asked, "Your Highness, do you see this silver?" ”

But he didn't wait for His Highness's reply, His Highness's face was like a pig's liver.

Seeing this, Chen Mo didn't know where he got the courage, and actually said: "Your Highness, are you still not coming out or are you not going to pay it back?" ”

What did the master say?

Wang An motioned for Chen Mo to discuss with him outside the door.

"Right now, the East Palace really doesn't have the money to pay off its debts, do you see if it..."Wang An is a man in a red robe, and he has to put down his shelf and say good words.

After hearing this, Chen Mo was embarrassed at first, and then finally relieved and said: "If Your Highness is really unable to pay, I'm afraid you will have to sign a new contract, and the slave and maid will have a good talk to Gonggong Wei here, and His Royal Highness must get compensation from the concubine Niangniang, so that the slave and maid can also be explained." ”
