"Even though it's against the rules, Su Bai's words aren't without reason. 1700 gold taels isn't a small matter. Given your capabilities, there's a high chance that you won't be able to repay it. As long as the Court of Judicial Review feels that there's a high chance that you're going against the contract, they can interfere. This isn't unprecedented. "
The lips of the two corpse-like officials of the Court of Judicial Review trembled.
"However, don't worry. As long as you fulfill the contract with Su gongzi, the Court of Judicial Review won't be a threat to you."
The reason why the Tang dynasty was able to prosper and prosper was due to its honesty and trustworthiness. It was precisely because of this that society was able to flourish. It was precisely because of this that the Tang dynasty was able to attract guests from all over the world. Merchants from Charax Spasinu, Abbasid Caliphate, Silla, and Turkic Khaganate came to visit.
Due to this, the Court of Judicial Review was extremely strict with those who went against the contract. Even though the two of them were invited by Su Bai, as long as Wang Chong fulfilled the contract, they would leave immediately.
"Wang Chong, why are you so afraid? Are you intending to go against the contract? The Eight Gods Pavilion is written in black and white. I'm afraid that you won't be able to escape from it, right? "
Su Bai stepped forward and sneered coldly. Wang Chong thought that he was here to beg for money, but how could that be? Today, he was determined to embarrass the Wang Clan.
"Su Bai, I'll give you another chance. You better think it through. Business is business. Are you sure that you want to help the Yao Clan to deal with our Wang Clan? "
Wang Chong said coldly.
Wang Chong knew that Su Bai and Yao Feng were close, but it was one thing for them to go up to the stage personally. That was a different matter altogether.
Su Bai was clearly intending to blow the matter up. This was no longer the matter of the two of them having a grudge in the Eight Gods Pavilion.
"Hehe!"
Su Bai sneered coldly. He couldn't be bothered to say anything else. With a single glance, the crowd by his side immediately shouted:
"Wang Chong! Return the money! "
"Return the money! Return the money! "
…
The voices grew louder and louder.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the situation, Wang Chong sneered coldly. If he really took the money to indulge in debauchery, today's matter would be really difficult.
However, Su Bai probably wouldn't have guessed that he had used their money to buy the Hyderabad ores. The current Wang Chong was truly rich and overbearing. One thousand seven hundred taels of gold, plus the interest of one thousand taels of gold, was nothing to him right now.
"Shen Hai, come here!"
Wang Chong beckoned Shen Hai over.
"There's a box under my bed. Bring that box over here! "
There were five thousand taels of gold in the chest. Uncle had specially sent it over after he found out that Wang Chong had given all the money to Wei Hao. If it was packed in a wooden box, no one would know.
If Su Bai thought that 2700 gold taels would be able to stop him, he was truly underestimating him!
"Yes. Shall I go now?"
Shen Hai nodded and left. Before he left, he glanced at Su Bai and sneered disdainfully. Even though there was a huge commotion outside, in Shen Hai's eyes, it was just a clown.
After spending time with Young Master Chong, Shen Hai and Meng Long had learned many of his secrets. On Wang Chong's carriage, he had seen gold taels worth more than ten thousand taels a few times.
For Su Bai to cause trouble at the Wang Family for a few thousand gold taels was nothing more than a small squabble.
"Young Master Chong, there's no need to stand on ceremony with these people!"
Shen Hai said.
Wang Chong chuckled and waved his hands. Shen Hai immediately understood and left.
"What's going on? Who is that! "
A few breaths after Shen Hai left, a doubtful voice sounded from behind. Before the voice could finish, a beautiful lady dressed in green walked out from the door with a doubtful expression. Behind her was a group of old nannies and maids.
"Mother!"
Upon seeing the figure, Wang Chong's face changed. He had tried his best to minimize the impact of this matter, but his mother was still alarmed!
Madam Wang was resting in the residence when she heard a huge commotion. Not knowing what was going on, she came out to take a look.
"Su gongzi?"
Upon seeing Su Bai in the crowd, Madam Wang was taken aback. She recognized Su Bai. Back then, she had seen Madam Su bringing Su Bai along in the palace.
"Why are you here?"
Madam Wang was astonished.
"Hehe, Madam Wang, you came at the right time. Your son owes us 1700 gold taels, this is written in black and white. We aren't trying to frame you. "
Su Bai shook the note in his hand and smiled sinisterly:
"Right, by the way, this is a 2% interest!"
"What!"
Upon hearing Su Bai's words, Madam Wang's vision darkened. As though she was struck by lightning, her body swayed and she nearly fell to the ground.
Madam Wang didn't expect that Wang Chong would owe someone a thousand gold taels behind her back. Furthermore, it was a 2% interest!
To Madam Wang, this was something she didn't even dare to imagine. The Wang Family couldn't bear such a huge debt.
"Hehe!"
Upon seeing this sight, Su Bai chuckled gleefully. What he had been anticipating had finally happened.
He was certain that the Wang Clan didn't know that Wang Chong had borrowed money from the Eight Gods Pavilion. He had gathered so many people, waving flags and shouting battle cries precisely because he wanted to blow this matter up, to let the Wang Family, to let everyone know of this matter.
The Wang Clan was a huge clan and their monthly expenses weren't small at all.
Wang Yan's stipend was only sufficient to provide for this large group of guards, nannies, and maids. He wanted to see if he had a hundred gold taels left in his savings every month.
A thousand gold taels, including the interest, would be close to three thousand gold taels. Let's see how the Wang Clan is going to repay such a huge sum!
"This is bad!"
Seeing his mother looking at him, Wang Chong's heart sank. He had been trying to resolve this matter without alarming his mother, but to think that it would still happen.
"Chong-er, is what Su gongzi said true?"
Madam Wang clenched her teeth and her face steeled. From the looks of it, Wang Chong didn't just owe Su Bai money. With a single glance, it was hard to tell how many scions of prestigious clans had gathered here and how much money he owed.
This was simply audacious!
It was just a moment ago that she had a good impression of Wang Chong, but to think that he would revert back to his old ways.
"Mother, listen to me. This matter isn't as you think it to be! "
Wang Chong braced himself and said.
"You just have to tell me whether what Su gongzi said is true or not!"
Madam Wang stared at Wang Chong and said sternly.
"Yes!"
Wang Chong lowered his head and said.
"You! You! You! "
Madam Wang's body trembled in anger. She pointed a finger at Wang Chong, but she couldn't say a single word.
"Madam, calm down!"
"Madam, calm down!"
Seeing that madam was infuriated, the group of nannies and maids hurried forward to support her, massaging her and soothing her chest. Then, they hurriedly persuaded Wang Chong:
"Young master, you shouldn't speak anymore."
Wang Chong also cursed inwardly. He hadn't told his mother about the matter regarding the Eight Gods Pavilion and Hyderabad. The reason was simple. Wang Chong didn't want his mother to worry too much. If he were to know too many things, his mother would surely overthink things.
Furthermore, he had already grown up, and there were some matters that he could resolve on his own. At the same time, this would lessen the pressure on his mother.
Furthermore, Wang Chong didn't intend to hide the matter regarding the Eight Gods Pavilion and Hyderabad from his mother forever. Just that, it seemed like he had chosen the worst timing to do so.
Not too far away, Su Bai sneered coldly. Wasn't this scene exactly what he had hoped for?
Wang Chong glared at him before turning around to look at his mother. Even though the matter regarding the Eight Gods Pavilion had been exposed, Wang Chong didn't panic in the slightest.
"Mother, this matter isn't as you think it to be. Even though 1700 gold taels isn't a small sum, it isn't a problem at all. I can resolve it! "
"Stop bragging! How are you going to resolve it! — — "
The crowd burst into laughter.
Their family was considered wealthy, but their monthly allowance was at most a few taels of gold. At most, it was a dozen or twenty taels of gold.
Even so, they didn't dare to borrow so much money casually like Wang Chong. The Wang Clan didn't do business, so they were even worse off than them.
It would be a miracle if Wang Chong could afford it.
Wang Chong couldn't be bothered with them at all. 1700 gold taels wasn't a problem to him at all.
"Mother, listen to me. I didn't squander this sum of money. I used it to start a business. "
Wang Chong said.
"Start a business? What business? "
Madam Wang finally caught her breath. Upon hearing those words, she immediately asked.
"Hahaha, even at this moment, Wang Chong, are you still going to lie to your mother?"
Su Bai burst into laughter. He had heard Wang Chong's words clearly. What business? In his view, it was complete nonsense.
"What lie? When has our young master ever lied? Isn't it just a thousand gold taels? Take it! "
At this moment, a loud voice sounded from within the gates. Deep disdain could be heard in the voice. Peng! Before the figure could be seen, a black shadow flew out.
Su Bai dodged to the side, dodging the attack in an instant. Turning his body, he saw the object falling to the ground. Ding ding, it was a pure gold ingot.
In an instant, Su Bai's face warped.
"Hahaha, Shen Hai, you came at the right time!"
Seeing Shen Hai walking over, Wang Chong's eyebrows relaxed and he laughed heartily. Facts speak louder than words. This kind of thing could not be explained clearly. Only real money was the most convincing.
"Young master, to deal with these fellows, you should smash their faces with gold. Why are you wasting your breath on them? You only earn a few taels of gold a month. How can you be compared to our Young Master? "
Shen Hai looked at the crowd outside disdainfully. Carrying a wooden chest in his hands, the several hundred jin item seemed as light as a feather in his hands.
"You are just a lackey, stop boasting. How many taels of gold do you want? Take it out! — — "
The arrogant scions in the surroundings immediately felt indignant.
Su Bai scolded them, but they didn't dare to retaliate. Wang Chong wasn't someone they could afford to offend, but what was a mere lackey to dare to look at them with such disdain?
The pampered scions here were the first to lose their temper.
"Hmph!"
Shen Hai harrumphed in disdain. Then, he did a single thing. Peng! His hands loosened, and the wooden chest in his hands was smashed to the ground.
The wooden frame of the chest was smashed into smithereens, and from the tightly sealed chest, a huge pile of golden objects gushed out. It was all gold!
Shua!
In an instant, everyone's breathing stopped. Even Madam Wang, Zhao Shu Hua, was stunned. Standing up from the maids' embrace, she stared at the pile of gold on the ground, speechless.
In front of the Wang Family Residence, time seemed to have stopped.
"Impossible! — — "
