Chapter 655: King Ning's Arrears
You can think of such a trick.
Seeing Liniang smiling, Wei Xiuyuan naturally immediately asked.
Liniang senior, I don't know what you think?
"This view is naturally there, you think this is only five thousand taels, summer and winter usually spend all day and wine, how can you not take it out for a while, it's just that he just doesn't want to pay it back, he pretended to sell his property at this time, just to tell the emperor that it was because of your hard work, so he lost the face of the royal family, and only lost the face of the officials in the capital, and the emperor is likely to blame you for this ineffective crime, Lord Wei, you have to be careful, your opponent is not an ordinary person."
Wei Xiuyuan slammed it on the table, he didn't expect that this summer and winter had such a good idea from Lord Liu, and he actually came to deal with his brother-in-law, Lu Li saw that Wei Xiuyuan was so distressed, after all, he was also his own brother, so he naturally wanted to help, so he said.
"Xiuyuan, why don't I ask Xia Dong, maybe we don't have that level of kinship, and we can speak more clearly."
Li Niang shook her head and looked at Lu Li.
General Lu, Xia Dong is not a big man this time, not to mention that he only owes 5,000 taels of silver, I think there is a bigger amount of silver that you need to collect.
Lu Li was strange at this moment, if you want to say that these five thousand taels of silver are not much, then who else has borrowed more?
"Yesterday, after Lord Wei brought back the account book of the household department, I took a closer look, and I found that there was an old acquaintance of yours, who actually borrowed 400,000 taels of silver from the household department, I think you are familiar with his personality, if you go to help Lord Wei get this silver back, it will be more handy."
Lu Li pondered for a while, he had a lot of old acquaintances in Shangjing, and he didn't know who this old acquaintance Li Niang was talking about, so he asked strangely.
"Senior Li Niangtiao, no, do you know who this fellow you are talking about?"
Li Niang raised her eyebrows, "Who else can borrow more than 400,000 taels of silver, isn't it His Royal Highness King Ning." ”
To say that after the news of Sharia's death came out, Lu Li and Xiao Man never saw King Ning again, and they didn't know what he was planning recently, now that Li Niang said so, Lu Li and Xiao Man naturally wanted to meet him.
So Lu Li agreed.
"Xiuyuan, I'll hand over the money over there, and you can get your troublesome brother-in-law first."
Xiu Yuan nodded, thinking that King Ning was also a cunning character, since he had taken more than 400,000 vehicles, it would definitely be impossible to return them easily, and now only Lu Li and Xiao Man would go to find out his tone first.
So the next day Xiao Man and Lu Li came to King Ning's mansion, Lu Li still pretended to be a servant, as soon as Xiao Man entered the palace, she felt that the wine was soaring, she never knew that King Ning was also such an alcoholic person, and now she walked into the courtyard of King Ning's mansion, but no one greeted him, and the entire Ning Wang's Mansion was chaotic, as if no one was managing it at all.
This made Xiao Man feel a little puzzled, to say that this Ning Wangfu is also the mansion of the prince, why is it like this.
Xiao Man walked into the room and found that King Ning was sitting on a stool at this time, and there were empty wine bottles on the table, King Ning's eyes were also very confused at this time, his face was very ruddy, and he seemed to have drunk a lot.
Xiao Man did the opposite side of King Ning, and talked to King Ning like an old acquaintance.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, I walked around outside and came back, but I didn't expect you to be like this."
King Ning sneered, although Sharia's disappearance was related to him, but he definitely didn't expect Sharia to fall to this point today, and he didn't know who killed Sharia, but he also knew in his heart that the person would not be Lu Li, but he didn't figure out this matter at all now, just blindly immersed in sadness, he always felt that as long as he was drunk, he could forget everything with Sharia,
Xiao Man felt a little distressed when he saw King Ning like this for some reason, so he comforted King Ning in particular.
"What's the use of His Highness drinking so much wine, and those who left won't come back."
When King Ning heard this, he smashed the wine bottle in a fit of anger, and when he saw the fragments on the ground, Xiao Man felt a little scared, and Lu Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to protect Xiao Man, for fear that King Ning would do something excessive.
"Su Xiaoman, you came today to help Wei Xiuyuan ask for silver, I know your purpose, don't be so pretended."
Xiao Man didn't expect that his words hadn't been spoken yet, but he was interrupted by King Ning like this, and he was naturally a little unhappy in his heart, knowing that she cared so much about him for Sharia.
"Since you are like a god, and you know that I came for the silver of those households, then why didn't you hurry up and return his 400,000 taels of silver directly."
King Ning sneered.
"Su Xiaoman, I'll tell you the truth, all the silver was borrowed by me to buy land and real estate, so that one day if the imperial brother mistreats me, I can have a way back, but I didn't expect that the imperial brother actually wants to take back the silver of the household now, and I can't realize the real estate and land for a while, and I don't have the money to pay it back at all."
Hearing King Ning say this, Su Xiaoman saw that King Ning was desperate to repay the debt, and he was naturally very dissatisfied in his heart.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, you said that you bought real estate and land, why don't you think about those poor people, they don't even have a house to cook or eat, don't you feel guilty in your heart?"
King Ning smiled, this smile made Su Xiaoman a little inexplicable, and he always felt that King Ning was not in a state of mind now, just like an idiot, without any normal logical thoughts.
"Whatever you say, anyway, after Sharia leaves, my whole person is like a walking corpse, and I don't want to deal with this matter, if you really want to tell the royal brother, go to the imperial brother and sue me quickly, it's best for him to arrest me and kill me, and let me go to the underworld to accompany Sharia."
Seeing that King Ning was actually giving up on himself like this, Xiao Man sighed and said to King Ning.
"Actually, Sharia didn't die."
When King Ning heard this, his pupils suddenly widened, although he had drunk a lot of wine before, but at this moment, it was like a needle piercing his temple, making him sober up all of a sudden, and he hurriedly ran to the table and stared at Su Xiaoman in a daze.
What did you say? Sharia is not dead, what is going on?
Su Xiaoman naturally wouldn't tell King Ning about Sharia so easily, firstly, because she was not sure about this matter, and secondly, if she could use this matter to let King Ning return the silver here, it would be considered that the purpose of her trip would be achieved.
So at this time, Xiao Man said to King Ning.
"I once heard Lu Li tell me before that you didn't calculate her less about Sharia's disappearance, and I don't think Sharia will trust you anymore even if she is here today."
King Ning showed an expression of self-reproach, he knew that he should not have promised Meng Buqi that he wanted to take Sharia as a hostage, so as to become an excuse for Meng Buqi to send troops, so he immediately pleaded with Su Xiaoman.
"It's all my fault before, I can tell you everything about it, I just promised Meng Buqi to hide Sharia for a while, so that Meng Buqi can lend me soldiers from the Western Regions, but I really didn't expect Sharia to disappear in the future, and finally turned into a corpse."
Xiao Man sneered.
Don't you think that if you use a small part, you don't use it? Sharia is sincere to you, and you use her like this?
King Ning sighed, his face was now as ugly as ashes, like a dying old man.
"Xiaoman, I really know it's wrong, can you tell me where she went in the past two months, as long as I can get her back, I am willing to use my life to atone for her."
Xiaoman shook his head.
"I don't know where Sharia is, I don't know much, I can tell you, but I have one condition."
Hearing the news that Su Xiaoman was willing to tell him Sharia, King Ning's eyes began to shine.
"Any conditions, as long as you say I'll agree."
This condition is very simple, you have to find a way to return the money of the household, and don't trouble Wei Xiuyuan again this time.
Unexpectedly, this Su Xiao kept saying that it was still for the task given to Wei Xiuyuan by the emperor.
This made King Ning very helpless, to say that in order to leave a way back for himself before, this money was indeed as he said before, all of which were used to purchase real estate and land, and produced in case of emergency, where did he get so much money at this time, he could return the silver of this household.
"Xiaoman, I really don't have any money to pay back, if I have money, I won't be here to fight you today."
Su Xiaoman naturally knew that King Ning had some means, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get it for just 400,000 taels of silver?
"I don't care, anyway, we haven't recovered a penny now, I want you to take this head to show those officials, if King Ning can pay it back, they will naturally pay it back."
When King Ning saw that Su Xiaoman was still talking so resolutely, he naturally felt that there was nothing he could do, so he could only agree to Xiaoman, and saw that his goal had been achieved, so he wanted to take Lu Li back and tell Xiuyuan the good news, but before they went out, King Ning stopped Su Xiaoman.
"Wait."
Xiao Man was a little surprised, and he didn't know what King Ning was doing when he stopped her, so he turned his head.
Why is His Royal Highness King Ning still in trouble?
"The servant next to you doesn't seem to be an ordinary person."
Hearing you King Ning say this, Su Xiaoman immediately became nervous, you must know that King Ning is cunning quickly, I am afraid that Ah Yue's character mask will not be able to hide from him, only to see that King Ning's gaze is completely attached to Lu Li's body, and he looked at his figure carefully, which is completely similar to a battle-hardened person, and it completely coincides with Lu Li in his memory.
