Chapter 21: The Big Cake

Walking slowly into the palace, Du Chen sensed that all eyes were focused on him all of a sudden.

This palace is mainly dark cyan, more than ten meters high crystal ceiling, there are more than 100 noble ministers standing in two rows, opposite the main entrance, there are two chairs, Ferdinand's godfather sits on the left hand side, and on the right hand side sits a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance, but he wears a cyan royal robe and a golden crown on his head, this is His Majesty Balgena, King of Lanning.

There were still two people standing beside Balgner, one of them was a young man who looked overly drunk, and the other was called Du Chen, who had a headache, it was Princess Yuna.

Recently, Yuna frequently invited Du Chen to participate in banquets, but where did Du Chen dare to go? Unexpectedly, Princess Yuna was more interested, and even came to the door several times to invite directly. Du Chen couldn't wait to hide from her incognito.

In the face of Yuna's 'finally caught you' gaze, Du Chen strode forward and bowed without arrogance or humility, "Descendants of Sigru, Francis meets His Majesty Balgner, Godfather Ferdinand!"

"Very well, I have heard many people say that you are called the virtue of St. John's City, and Yuna often mentions you!" Bargena praised Du Chen a few words and turned his gaze to Ferdinand, "Godfather, Francis has your blessing, or you will say it!"

Ferdinand nodded and said in a deep voice: "Francis, as you know, the entire family of the Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer was assassinated by the Macallan Empire, but although the person is dead, the sin cannot be eliminated, so the ransom that Fries owes you will be given a part of his inheritance!

Although the words are high-sounding, everyone present understands that the Chancellor's legacy is a big cake that everyone wants, but this cake must be bitten by Du Chen first, and then others will distribute the rest.

Therefore, how big Du Chen's bite is, it has become the focus of attention of all ministers.

Du Chen also knew that if Ferdinand had not supported him, it was estimated that the ministers would not have left him a copper coin, but who told him to have Ferdinand's backing? Du Chen smiled and said: "Godfather, I want to ask two things, first, how much is the inheritance, and second, how does the Holy Religion's code stipulate the amount of atonement!"

Ferdinand smiled: "All the inheritances combined, about 10,000 alloy coins!"

Du Chen's heart trembled, he had calculated that a silver coin was about the purchasing power of a hundred yuan of currency in the previous life, and a hundred silver coins were equivalent to one gold coin, so ten thousand gold coins ...... This is a legacy calculated in '100 million'!

Wonder if he will be able to advance to the ranks of multimillionaires today, Du Chen was excited, but his face was very flat, which made the ministers look up at him.

Ferdinand was very satisfied with Du Chen's pampered performance, and continued: "Regarding the ransom money, the Holy Canon Code has the following provisions, first, it depends on the identities of both parties, and the second ......" He said a lot of legal provisions in a long way, Du Chen was only interested in the last sentence, "So, you should get thirty percent, that is, three thousand gold coins!"

It was about 30 million yuan, and Du Chen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

But at this moment, a military general standing in the front row said loudly: "This is impossible! Three thousand gold coins is enough to equip an elite wing, and I need this money to improve the security of Yanjing!"

I'm afraid it's enough for you to buy dozens of beautiful slave girls, right?

Du Chen looked at this general, who was in his fifties, his face was pale, and his slender eyes were shining, and at this time Steve whispered beside him, this is the commander of the Yanjing Shengbowen Legion, General Kirisek.

"No, I need it for disaster relief!" another person retorted loudly, and for a while, before Du Chen could speak, the ministers quarreled again, as if the money was already theirs.

"Quiet!, do you want to break the Holy Code?" said Ferdinand, in a deep voice.

"Godfather, we don't dare to violate the code, but the empire's finances are tight, and we also need gold coins!"

Ferdinand looked at Du Chen, "Francis, what is your opinion?" He glanced at the ministers with cold eyes, knowing that none of these bureaucrats had anything to deal with, I am afraid that Francis would not be able to deal with them, and he had to help Francis by himself, so as to make friends with the mysterious fighting god behind him.

Thinking of this, Ferdinand stood up, walked in front of Du Chen, pressed his hand on his forehead, and said slowly: "Don't care about others, say what you really think!

After speaking, he looked at the ministers coldly, and his momentum, in Du Chen's words, is, I cover this kid, who dares to threaten him!?

Sure enough, none of the Lanning ministers dared to look at him.

Du Chen was sure in his heart and said with a smile: "I think that the code of the Holy Sect cannot be violated!"

The implication is that none of you want to move this money, I'm going to decide!

Some people sneered, but Ferdinand was present to support Du Chen, and the noble ministers did not dare to openly violate the Holy Code of Religion, but these people were all old fritters in the officialdom, so they naturally would not be stumped by this. The minister who was clamoring for the flood in the south walked up to Du Chen, an old man, with a cunning face, "Dear Francis, you abide by the Holy Religious Code, this is right, I support you! The three thousand gold coins should also be yours!"

Du Chen smiled at the old man, knowing that he must have something to do, so he was not in a hurry to answer.

The old man said: "I heard that you are called the 'Virtue of St. John's City', and you are a good person praised by people, so I ask you on behalf of the victims of the disaster in the south, please help them and donate some gold coins!" As he spoke, he bowed to Du Chen, a junior.

He made a start, and Kirisek immediately answered, "Nephew Francis, you come from a military family, so naturally you should think about the warriors in the army, and the soldiers of Yanjing ......"

In addition to Angels, many ministers made requests to Du Chen with high-sounding reasons, with only one meaning, that is, to ask Du Chen to eat the gold coins and then spit them out!

And looking at Angels' appearance, he also wanted to speak, but he pretended not to see Du Chen for the sake of face.

This time Ferdinand didn't want to interject, he turned around and sat down in his chair to watch what Du Chen did.

Perhaps this can also be seen as a test.

Du Chen listened with a smile, no one should be offended. However, he was also troubled in his heart, looking at the posture of the ministers, it was impossible to leave him a copper coin, and the noble nobles kept saying high-sounding reasons, so that people could not refute them.

Not only to hold the gold coins in your hands, but also not to offend people!

What to do?

Then take the money yourself, and then find a wronged boss to carry the black pot!

Du Chen set his sights on King Lanning, Your Majesty Balgena!

"Your Majesty, I dare not take it as you call me 'the virtue of St. John's,' but I also meant to get this gold and use it to help the poor. He bent down and bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to join me in helping those in need!"
