Chapter 50: The young master of the Gu family, kowtow three times is worth 52 silver coins!
Zhang Li’s mouth is wide open enough to fit an egg.
She didn't understand what Lin Zhen meant.
At the same time, Gu Beichen didn't understand until Lin Zhen threw the silver cake directly to Gu Beichen's feet.
"It's a bargain for you, that's all."
"What do you mean?" Gu Beichen seemed to realize something and suddenly became angry: "Are you going to go back on your word?"
"No, didn't I give you money?"
"What I want is the entire underground bank!"
"I don't know what an underground bank is. I just said if you kowtow to me, I'll give you money. Now I've done it, but I'm really losing out by giving you so much money."
"I..."
"Hahaha." Zhang Li finally realized that Lin Zhen had no intention of returning the money to him, but was using this to humiliate him!
Young Master Gu, three kowtows are worth five taels of silver!
"The dignified young master of the Gu family, the son of the Prime Minister, the top playboy in the city, actually kneels down for five taels of silver! Hehehe~ Prince, this is really making me laugh to death~"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Now everyone understood.
Cao Xiong laughed the most heroically.
"Hahahaha, Prince is right. It would be a huge loss to give you so much money. I have a copper coin here, let me give it to you."
After saying that, Cao Xiong threw the copper coin in his hand to Gu Beichen, picked up the quicksilver cake and put it in his pocket.
"Pick it up! Don't you want money? Hahahaha!"
"Pick it up quickly, or you'll have kowtowed in vain!"
The people from the Huben Camp started to commotion, while the White Robe Volunteers glared at them angrily.
They must be unhappy when their master is humiliated.
Gu Nanshan sighed softly.
I thought Lin Zhen was a villain who had succeeded and got carried away, not knowing the root of the matter. I just wanted to humiliate him and get the money back.
Who knew that he would actually play word games and severely humiliate Gu Beichen.
Alas, he has such a character at such a young age. He has a bright future ahead of him.
He lowered his head, looked at the copper coin, and bent down to pick it up.
But he didn't expect that Gu Beichen would knock it down in an instant and it fell to the ground.
"Danglanglang~"
The copper coin fell to the ground, and the sound of it hitting the ground echoed in the quiet cellar.
Gu Beichen roared, "Why did you pick it up? Aren't you ashamed enough?"
"Young Master, a real man should be able to bend and stretch, and be bold and daring. My Gu family must not lose both the face and the battle! If a person cannot face failure, then he will never be able to grow! Now, lower your head and pick up the money!"
Gu Nanshan taught like a teacher, and Gu Beichen looked at the copper coins on the ground with difficulty.
"Nanshan, that's all the hard work of my Gu family!"
"Pick it up! As long as you pick it up, you will still be that favored child of heaven! No one will ever defeat you again!"
Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes.
Gu Nanshan deserves the reputation of a genius in troubled times. His calmness and broad-mindedness alone are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
We must find an opportunity to kill him, otherwise there will be endless trouble.
Sure enough, with his encouragement, Gu Beichen lowered his head and picked up the copper coin.
Gu Nanshan walked over and bowed to Lin Zhen, "Sir, I lost this round."
Lin Zhen said nothing, just looked at him quietly.
He then added, "But don't think you've won. My Gu family would rather die in glory than live in disgrace. We can't get this money, and neither can you."
"What do you mean?"
"If I report this to Your Majesty... do you think you can keep this money? How about we each split it half and then check and balance each other?"
"Hahahahaha." Lin Zhen laughed heartily. "Gu Nanshan, you used this little trick to try to swindle away half of the wealth. Aren't you underestimating me, Lin Zhen? If His Majesty knew that you had embezzled so much money, do you think the Gu family would still have a chance of surviving?"
"Of course!" Gu Nanshan suddenly widened his triangular eyes and said firmly, "As long as the Regent is still alive, the Gu family will never fall."
"Then go ahead and try it, and see if I will hand over the money."
Lin Zhen finally stopped leaning against the wall. He came to Gu Nanshan, lowered his head and spoke next to his disgusting face.
"Do you know how many armies this amount of money can support? Gu Nanshan, your Gu family will definitely suffer this loss, and the emperor can't help you either. I'm telling you."
After saying this, Lin Zhen walked out of the warehouse with a confident evil smile.
This farce should end soon. Instead of wasting time, I would rather go home and accuse Gu Beichen of cheating.
Zhang Li also followed him out, and the Huben Camp left behind, and finally everyone gathered inside the casino.
"Nanshan, let's go find His Majesty right now! If we can't get it, he doesn't want it anymore!"
Gu Nanshan looked at Gu Beichen's angry face and sighed softly.
Compared with Lin Zhen's calmness and scheming, Gu Beichen is far behind and is not even on the same level.
But there was one thing he didn't understand.
How could Lin Zhen, who was originally uneducated, become a sophisticated and strategic politician overnight?
"Master, this matter must not be told to His Majesty."
"Why? Weren't you threatening Lin Zhen just now?"
"I wanted to trick him into handing over half of his treasure, but I didn't expect Lin Zhen to rebel rather than hand it over."
"Rebellion? He actually has the guts to rebel!?"
Gu Beichen had never thought of this word.
In his impression, Lin Zhenxian was an upright person. Although he had great power and achievements that threatened the emperor, he would never rebel.
This is something that everyone understands.
The empress was only wary of Lin Zhenxian, worried that he would rebel, but she did not want to completely eliminate him.
The purpose of the Gu family's existence is to restrain Lin Zhenxian, but in reality the effect is minimal.
Gu Nanshan said, "Lin Zhen is definitely not as naughty as he appears. He is cunning and ruthless. He is a foe a hundred times more difficult to deal with than Lin Zhenxian. I saw murderous intent in his eyes just now. I believe he has already known that I am a military advisor."
"Don't worry, no one can kill you with me here."
Gu Nanshan treated Gu Beichen's words as nonsense.
"Young Master, from now on you need to study harder, otherwise sooner or later the Gu family will become his victims."
"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, sir."
In fact, Gu Nanshan is Gu Beichen's enlightenment teacher. He has taught him carefully and imparted everything he knows to him over the years. Otherwise, Gu Beichen would not have become a leader among young people in China at such a young age.
The white-robed righteous men walked out of the casino one after another, their empty-handed appearance stunned the coachmen outside who were preparing to transport goods.
Gu Beichen returned to his carriage with a dark face and stepped forward.
Lin Zhen stood at the door and saw a person sitting behind the curtain of the carriage.
Although I can't see her face clearly, I can be sure that she is a woman.
who can that be?
Liu Shuyao has been locked up by herself, and Huanbi will not let her out without her order.
Could it be Haitang Duoduo? After leaving him, she threw herself into Gu Beichen's arms again?
Or is it that because of my appearance, someone related to Gu Beichen appeared in this world?
