Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Third
"Your Highness, please accept it with a smile." The fat businessman jumped up from the stool and dragged his life's fat towards Su Chen. I don't know if it was because it was too fat or because the weather was too hot, there was a foul smell on the businessman.
Su Chen frowned when he smelled this smell. Just as he was about to speak, Yuwen Chengdu walked up to him and said coldly: "Just give me the stuff."
The fat businessman suddenly changed his colors. He nodded and handed the brocade box to Yuwen Chengdu with both hands. Seeing that Yuwen Chengdu took over, he hurried back to his position just now.
While looking at the fat businessman with contempt, the rest of the businessmen were looking for what to do. They only heard the sissy businessman say, "Your Highness, we have forgotten the gift."
Su Chen took the brocade box from Yuwen Chengdu's hand and opened it. He saw a ginseng about two feet inside. The ginseng was even too long and had to be rolled up and placed in the brocade box.
"Your Highness, this is my family's treasure. I had thought of sending it to Youth Highness for a long time, but it has been so far because I was afraid of disturbing Your Highness's cultivation." The fat businessman looked at the other merchants disdainfully and said to Su Chen in a charming manner.
Su Chen smiled and covered the brocade box. Although he didn't know how to read ginseng, he now thought that this ginseng could be used to make up for Zhu Guier.
"Well, this thing is good, but this is a gift for me to visit. What I said is a gift." Su Chen smiled and said to the fat businessman.
The fat businessman thought he would receive Su Chen's praise, but he didn't expect that this sentence would happen. He didn't react for a while. Su Chen said again: "Everyone won't really forget it."
When the sissy businessman heard this, he immediately understood that Su Chen ignored what he said just now, and it seemed that he was about to lose his skin again this time, so he immediately thought about how to remedy it.
"Your Highness, what you are talking about was the last gift?"|The fat businessman remembered and said.
Su Chen nodded and looked at the fat man with a smile. He found that the fat man was really cute, if he wasn't that smelly.
"The villain is ready, but he hasn't sent it here." The fat businessman said with a smile, but his tone is not as confident as he said the previous words.
Su Chen snorted, looked at the other merchants, and asked, "Did you really forget it or don't want to give it to me?"
When the merchants heard Su Chen's tone, they knelt down one by one and said, "I forgot, I really forgot."
"If you are as good as this boss, people should be self-conscious, right? Since you are ready, you must know what to give and tell them how self-conscious you are." Su Chen said with a smile.
This is no longer blackmail, it is just robbing it with your identity.
After Su Chen finished saying that, everyone present understood, but what could they say? He was the emperor's son, and he still held hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hand and had a prominent status. Even if he was chopped off by him, no one would say anything.
The fat businessman had a lot more sweat on his face than he had just now. He licked his thick lips and said, "Your Highness, after so long, the villain has forgotten all of them." No matter how stupid he was, he already understood that Su Chen was going to exploit them again, but there was no way.
When Su Chen heard this, he smiled and said, "That's okay. Since you are ready, you must be able to send it here now. Just send someone to ask your servants to send it here."
After hearing this, the fat businessman licked his lips again, and after a while, he said, "The things are all in the warehouse, and the keys are on me."
After hearing this, Su Chen waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, let General Yuwen accompany you." After that, he looked at Yuwen Chengdu.
Yuwen Chengdu nodded and walked towards the fat businessman.
At this moment, the fat businessman suddenly fell from the stool to the ground, begged for mercy to Su Chen, "Please forgive me, the villain has not prepared a gift yet."
Su Chen had known this guy was a fat man who was swollen and fat. Now that he saw that he admitted it himself, he was too lazy to pay attention to him and said to the group of merchants: "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Your Highness, you are robbing me directly." At this moment, an old businessman who looked like he was in his forties or fifties stood up and said to Su Chen.
Su Chen smiled and said, "I'll ask you, do you agree to give me a gift?"
"Yes. But that was also what you forced us at that time." The old businessman was no longer concerned about it. Since he had already stood up, he would just tear his face apart.
"Evidence, you said I force you, I want evidence." Su Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man.
Su Chen likes hard bones, and his favorite thing is to bully these hard bones.
The old businessman turned around and looked at his companions, then at Han Qinhu and others, and said, "There is no evidence. Even if there is, it is just a group of cartilage that dare not stand up."
"Bold." Yuwen Chengdu shouted coldly at the old businessman.
The old businessman was originally a person who was greedy for life and feared death, but he was also a person who regarded wealth as his life. It would be fine if Su Chen blackmailed him once, but he understood that Su Chen would treat them directly as his own family if he wanted something. He would take it from them, and he still had his favorite money. How could he agree to this? So he stood up.
However, when Yuwen Chengdu drank, his body, which was already holding back, became a little soft for a moment. The sissy businessman stepped forward to support him, looked at Su Chen and said, "Your Highness, we also need to support our family."
Su Chen nodded and said, "I know."
"Your Highness, please give your best." said the sissy businessman.
"The most basic thing in doing business is the word "reputation". I'm right. You promised to give me a gift last time, but you haven't given me so far. This is your reputation, and I didn't do anything to you. Judging from the old man's appearance, what do you want to do to me? How come I can give me a tribute?" Su Chen looked at them coldly and said.
Originally, everyone sat together and asked Su Chen to say something shamelessly. The merchants agreed and then they broke up. But now it's like this, Su Chen never expected it.
Han Qinhu and others also realized something was wrong on the field. Although they also hated these merchants, they didn't want things to develop like this. And if they were known and reached the ears of the censors in Chang'an City, Su Chen would be condemned again.
"Your Highness." Wang Shao stood up and said.
"Hmm?" Su Chen looked at Wang Shao. He also knew that Wang Shao was reminding himself not to do too much, but how could Su Chen care about these things now?
"Your Highness, we will prepare a gift for you." The sissy businessman also knew that Su Chen was unable to afford it, so he said.
This is what Su Chen wants. Everyone has a step forward, but this time, Su Chen is not just asking them for gifts, but wants to ask for brand new military supplies for the 30,000 soldiers brought back by Hou Junji.
"Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with it and you're ready to go down now." The sissy businessman said respectfully.
Su Chen nodded and said, "Okay, but I'm very puzzled, why are you less than 30,000 military supplies you donated?"
When the merchants heard this, they immediately became confused on their faces. The sissy businessman said, "Your Highness, we sent it one by one according to the number of soldiers. Many people have also confirmed it with General Han."
Han Qinhu is also a smart person, but he is a kind and honest person. He is not as shameless as Su Chen, but he is also a rough person.
"I didn't count the number of people at that time, and now I forgot how many people are." Han Qinhu said, with an expression on his face that I didn't know anything.
When the sissy businessman heard Han Qinhu's words, he immediately realized that this was a huge extortion that had been agreed upon.
And the merchants also understood that Su Chen was not just asking for a gift this time, but also needed 30,000 military supplies. They raised their heads one by one to look at Su Chen and the people around Su Chen. In their eyes, these people were no longer ministers in the court, but a group of people who were even more than them.
"General Han is old, and it is understandable that he forgets some things, but the officers below also forget that it is really unforgivable. Chengdu, check who is responsible and punish it seriously." Su Chen frowned and said.
Yuwen Chengdu looked at the businessmen and knew that Su Chen was talking about evil things, but he had to cooperate with the acting. He blushed and said, "Yes" |
Seeing Yuwen Chengdu's expression of shame on his face, Su Chen immediately decided to exercise his face well, otherwise he would not have to hang out with him.
"Your Highness, please give me your best." The sissy businessman said gritting his teeth.
"You are here again." Su Chen said helplessly.
The sissy businessman took a few deep breaths and said, "Your Highness, what will happen if you don't give it?"
When Su Chen heard this, he knew that he had forced these merchants to a dead end, but he had no intention of stopping. First, Su Chen didn't think that these merchants would do anything to him. Second, these people made Su Chen deeply disgusted. Even the beggars in the city came to help with a wooden stick when Xiao Maha's army attacked the city, but these people closed the door and ignored them. Just this point made Su Chen deeply dislike them.
"Wang Shao" Su Chen looked at the sissy businessman and called out Wang Shao.
Wang Shao sighed. He knew what Su Chen asked him to do, but when things got to this point, he had to go.
"You deceive Your Highness, this is a crime. You are against Your Highness with a poor man. This is two crimes." In this way, Wang Shao said four or five of the crimes of these merchants in succession, and finally he even made a sentence to beheading all over the house, which scared the merchants to kowtow and beg for mercy.
Su Chen was also stunned. He just asked Wang Shao to help persuade the merchants. Unexpectedly, Wang Shao understood it as scaring them, but he also deeply admired Wang Shao, so he could list so many crimes.
After hearing Wang Shao’s words, the merchants had nothing to say. The difference in identity was there, and they could only admit defeat, but the sissy businessman looked angry. (To be continued.
