Ch 81: I Can Trick Him Again
“Great Priest.”
At this time, someone ran in from outside, panting and saying, “Young Master is missing!”
“What?”
The Great Priest was startled.
“The Young Master hasn’t gone out for several days. I was a little worried, so I went in to take a look, and found that the Young Master was gone, but left behind a letter.” Saying this, the approaching person handed the letter to the Great Priest.
The Great Priest quickly opened it.
“Nonsense!”
After reading it, the Great Priest angrily said, “The Young Master actually secretly went out to find the person who knows the Great Celestial Phenomenon Art. What if something happens?”
“Great Priest, let’s go out and find the Young Master.” Black and White Impermanence quickly said.
“How can you go out?” The Great Priest glared at the two of them: “Su Nianyi is guarding there, and won’t let you out at all.”
“This…”
For a moment, the two looked at each other.
“I only hope that the Young Master is alright.” At this time, the Great Priest could only pray.
Great Zhou.
That night, Yun Po had people look for Zhou Qianlin, agreeing to buy Zhou Qianlin’s 300,000 Crimson Flame Fruits.
Zhou Qianlin promised to bring them the next morning.
This made Yun Po so excited that he almost didn’t sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Zhou Qianlin did come, bringing 300,000 Crimson Flame Fruits in a Storage Bag. The Crimson Flame Fruits almost buried the entire room.
“Second Highness, all the Crimson Flame Fruits are here, you can have someone count them.” Zhou Qianlin said, “It’s a total of thirty million taels of silver. The Master’s entire inventory is here, and the Master said that he thanks Second Highness for helping him clear out all his goods, and if there’s an opportunity in the future, he will visit your Mansion.”
Hearing this, Yun Po quickly and excitedly said, “Welcome Sword Immortal’s visit, I will definitely prepare a grand reception!”
“No need to count, I believe the Sword Immortal.” After saying this, Yun Po handed thirty million taels worth of banknotes to Zhou Qianlin.
“Good.”
Yun Po looked at the banknotes, then said, “The Master is in the city today on business. I’ll go back and ask if he’s free. If we don’t come before noon, then the Master won’t have time, and we’ll have to leave the Divine Capital.”
“Good, I’ll wait.”
Yun Po quickly agreed.
Until Zhou Qianlin left the Prince’s Mansion, Yun Po quickly had people put away the Crimson Flame Fruits, then had people prepare a banquet.
“Your Highness, I’ll quickly have Zhang Xiaohu come.” A Personal Guard said.
“Wait.”
Yun Po pondered for a moment, then said, “Not yet. The Sword Immortal may very well come to visit. If the Sword Immortal knows that I’m using him to earn money, he may be displeased. Wait, wait until the Sword Immortal leaves the Divine Capital, then we’ll go find Zhang Xiaohu.”
“Yes.”
However, Yun Po waited and waited, and waited all morning, but the Sword Immortal didn’t come.
“Second Master, it’s past noon, and no one has come. It seems the Sword Immortal won’t be coming.” The Personal Guard said.
“Hmm.” Yun Po was a little disappointed, it seemed there was no opportunity to meet which Sword Immortal it was.
“Go find Zhang Xiaohu.” Yun Po had someone go find Zhang Xiaohu.
However, half an hour later, several Personal Guards rushed back and said, “Second Master, Zhang Xiaohu is missing.”
“Missing?”
Yun Po suddenly stood up from his chair and exclaimed, “How could he be missing? Did you look properly?”
“We looked! We asked the people around the courtyard where Zhang Xiaohu lived, and they said that Zhang Xiaohu went out this morning and hasn’t come back yet.”
“What!”
“Go find him again!”
“Yes!”
That day, the guards at Yun Po’s Mansion searched all over the Divine Capital.
Until nightfall, everyone returned, but they hadn’t found any trace of Zhang Xiaohu.
This person was like he had evaporated, no one saw where Zhang Xiaohu went.
“What to do?”
Yun Po looked panicked, slumped in his chair. If he couldn’t find Zhang Xiaohu, who would he sell the 300,000 Crimson Flame Fruits to?
The money was still borrowed from several Clans.
If the fruit couldn’t be sold, what would he use to repay the debt?
“Second Master, perhaps Zhang Xiaohu cheated us.” The Personal Guard beside him said cautiously.
“Hmph!”
Yun Po’s killing intent rose, and he said, “The things can’t rot in my hands. Immediately use your connections to contact Bei Jue merchants, find this Zhang Xiaohu, and also ask around in Bei Jue, if anyone is buying Crimson Flame Fruits. I can give one hundred taels of silver per fruit!”
Now Yun Po no longer wanted to earn money, he just wanted to get his Capital back.
“Yes!”
Fourth Prince’s Mansion.
“Hahaha.”
In the Dungeon, Yun Qing looked at the large pile of banknotes in his hand, laughing until his mouth almost reached his ears.
Thirty million taels of banknotes!
Such a huge sum, Yun Qing had never seen before.
“The Great Priest really has amazing methods, using 300,000 walnuts to swindle so much money from Second Brother!” Yun Qing laughed uncontrollably.
The Capital for 300,000 walnuts was only a few hundred taels of silver.
But he earned back thirty million taels.
“Your Highness, the thing you promised me…” At this time, in the Dungeon, Zhang Xiaohu cautiously spoke to Yun Qing.
“Don’t worry, I promised I wouldn’t kill you, and I will naturally keep my promise. When the time is right, I will let you leave.” Yun Qing said calmly.
After speaking, Yun Qing looked at a stack of banknotes beside him.
Yun Qing picked it up and looked at it, saying, “These counterfeit banknotes were made by you? They’re quite realistic. If you don’t look closely, you really can’t tell.”
“Second Highness didn’t have a chance to examine them closely that day, so it was easy to deceive Second Highness.” Zhang Xiaohu truthfully said.
“Hmm, stay here honestly for now. I’ll release you when things are settled.”
“Yes, yes.”
Yun Qing left the Dungeon with thirty million taels of banknotes.
Li Hanzhou had long ago agreed to split the money with Yun Qing, a 30/70 split.
Yun Qing takes ten million taels.
The remaining twenty million taels are Li Hanzhou’s.
Yun Qing wasn’t without the thought of pocketing the thirty million taels, but this thought was fleeting. Yun Qing felt that Li Hanzhou was too terrifying. If he offended him, he might not get a single copper coin, and his life might be in danger.
Just a few walnuts, could swindle Second Brother out of thirty million taels of silver, even the major Clans who supported Second Brother were calculated by him.
This kind of person, he absolutely must not offend.
And at this moment, Li Hanzhou in the palace also received news from Yun Qing, learning that the plan was successful.
Li Hanzhou smiled, and replied to Yun Qing not to worry, anyway, Second Prince had already been scammed once, he could be scammed a second time.
Upon receiving Li Hanzhou’s letter, Yun Qing almost had a heart attack. Second Brother had just been scammed out of thirty million taels of silver, and he wants to scam him again?
Can you shear the same sheep twice?
What kind of deep-seated hatred is this?
But Yun Qing thought, Yun Po almost slept with the Great Priest’s woman, no wonder Li Hanzhou hated him so much.
