Chapter 265: Pit a million taels
In order to avoid accidents, Xiao Zijie led people to return to Changdan with Guan Juer and his daughter.
Kong Ze stayed to ask the one million taels of silver notes from Goryeo Grande Park Changsu.
Another day, the sun is shining brightly.
Kong Ze and two subordinates appeared in front of the Grand Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Go and report to your prime minister, killing your five hundred guards and kidnapped the pharmacist, the head of the pharmacist, is here, let him come and greet him!" Kong Ze said with his chest straight.
Hearing this, the two gate guards at the gate of the Grand Prime Minister's Mansion were stunned. They had never seen such an arrogant robber.
"What are you doing when you are standing there? Go and report!" Kong Ze stared at the guard who looked like two pieces of wood in front of him.
The two of them then realized, ran into the inside.
In a short while, more than a dozen Prime Minister's Mansion guards rushed to the gate with weapons in their hands and surrounded Kong Ze and the other two.
Kong Ze curled his lips and said, "After all, he is the prime minister of a small country. I have never seen any world. If I don't have enough support, would I be so dangerous?"
At this moment, Goryeo Grande Son Park Changsu lifted his robe and walked out panting.
"Quick, hurry, catch him!"
"Park Dasang, I came here this time to save your life. If you don't care, you can arrest me!" Kong Ze said with a calm expression.
Park Changsu squinted his eyes and looked at Kong Ze, reached out his hand, and said, "Let him come in!"
A moment later, in the living room.
Only Kong Ze, Park Changsu and his five personal guards were left.
Park Changsu looked at Kong Ze vigilantly and said, "I will first warn you that this is the Grand Head of Goryeo, not the Grand Zhou. If you dare to use any conspiracy, I will definitely let you go without a reply!"
Cowards often like to speak loudly, and Park Changsu said this at the forefront, which is obviously a sign of lack of confidence.
Kong Ze smiled faintly, took out a letter and said, "Look at the letter written by the pharmacist for you first."
Park Changsu looked at Kong Ze suspiciously, and then asked someone to take the letter.
The letter written by the pharmacist mainly talks about two things.
First, spend money to avoid disasters.
If Park Changsu wants to continue to be the prime minister and continue to live safely, if Goryeo wants to avoid war, he must spend one million taels to make up for the losses of the floods in Caizhou, Dazhou. Otherwise, Dazhou would believe that this was done by Goryeo and would send troops to attack soon. The pharmacist and him would suffer together, and naturally their lives would be lost.
Second, disasters lead to the east.
There must be a real murderer in the Caizhou flood. After Park Changsu took out a million taels of silver notes, Dazhou would count the accounts on Liuhaiguo and save Goryeo from the war.
The most important content in the pharmacist's letter was that if Park Changsu did not take out one million taels, the pharmacist would inform the Lord of Goryeo that he was the illegitimate son of Queen Goryeo and Lord Liuhai. By then, Park Changsu, as the brother of Queen Goryeo, would naturally not survive.
After reading the letter, Park Changsu's face became gloomy.
He had no choice at all.
"I...I...I'm naturally willing to put this matter on Liu Haiguo's head, but...but I don't have one million taels at all, three...300,000 taels are enough?" Park Changsu trembled and stretched out three fingers, wanting to pay the counteroffs.
This year, the pharmacist will leave at least nearly 500,000 taels of him, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion has been almost hollowed out.
Now he can't take out a huge amount of one million yuan.
Kong Ze shook his head slightly, then smiled and said, "Park Dasang, are you kidding me? Three days ago, you just received a million taels of treasury from the treasury!"
After Kong Ze became the prime minister of wealth, he had already conducted a detailed investigation on Park Changsu's property.
"Then...then...that's the money spent by the imperial royal family at the end of the year. If I misappropriate it, let alone the king will punish the serious crime. The nobles in Dashoucheng are enough to kill me. No, no!" Park Changsu shook his head.
Immediately, Kong Ze stood up.
"Park Dasang, since you don't want to pay one million taels, I won't force you. I'll ask for it to Liuhaiguo and see if they can take out the money!" After that, Kong Ze walked outside.
Kong Ze's words actually mean that you just wait for my Great Zhou troops to come to the city!
If we don't give you money, we will hit you.
"Slow down, slow down!" Park Changsu quickly caught up with Kong Ze, and a stiff smile appeared on his face.
"Young Master Kong, don't be anxious, everything is easy to discuss!" Park Changsu grabbed Kong Ze's arm and pulled him back to his seat.
Park Changsu's eyes rolled and continued, "I can take out one million taels, but this million taels can be used in addition to being able to rescue the pharmacist and completely transfer the blame for the Caizhou flood to Liuhai Kingdom, I also have a small request."
"You said." Kong Ze said in a plain tone.
"I hope that the emperor of your country can sign an agreement and ensure that he will not attack Goryeo within a hundred years!"
Hearing this, Kong Ze stood up again.
"Park Daxiang, let me tell you the truth. My Great Zhou is now strong and has the blessing of firearms. It is a good time to expand the territory. The court is looking for excuses to start a war with the surrounding countries. If I report to the court this time, the floods in Caizhou were caused by the joint efforts of Goryeo and Liuhai Kingdom. According to the temper of Your Majesty, I will definitely send troops immediately. Within three months, I may not be able to destroy Liuhai, but destroying you Goryeo is easy."
"Now, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me, the Emperor of Great Zhou, and I can only guarantee two points for this million tael. First, let go of the pharmacist; second, completely relegate the responsibility for the flood in Caizhou to Liu Haiguo. I will not guarantee anything else, nor have any power to guarantee it. If you don't want to, I will say goodbye!"
After saying that, Kong Ze walked out of the hall again.
"Oh!" Park Changsu sighed.
"I...I...I'm willing to take out a million taels." Park Changsu's face turned dark and he was depressed and just wanted to commit suicide.
This matter should have been paid by the Goryeo court, but he was worried that it would be revealed that the Goryeo Queen had an affair with Liu Haiguo, so he had to bear the money himself.
He now regrets getting on the pirate ship of the Medicine Master. If Liuhai Kingdom becomes the murderer of the Caizhou flood, then the king of Liuhai Kingdom will definitely transfer hatred to the Medicine Master, and the Medicine Master will definitely not be able to return to Liuhai.
And in Goryeo, it is extremely difficult for them to rebel.
...
A quarter of an hour later, Kong Ze happily walked out of the Grand Prime Minister's Mansion with the silver notes.
This year, we can have a big fat New Year.
He and Xiao Zijie had already planned that as long as the Great Zhou Dynasty could destroy Liuhai Kingdom, Goryeo would not rely on anything, and it would be completely easy to destroy it.
