The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 53: The father and son duo
The people around were completely stunned. It was the first time they saw someone paying off gambling debts in such a solemn occasion. They could not have imagined that Emperor Yan would actually follow Jiang Fan in making trouble.
Everyone in the Chu family was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, not to mention the others.
However, after coming to their senses, everyone couldn't help but look with pity at Ye Ren and the other courtiers who wanted to suppress Jiang Fan, wondering why you have to go against the eighth prince.
This guy is so young and full of vigor, so arrogant and conceited, he doesn't act according to the rules. If you provoke him, look, before you even turn your back, he'll start to retaliate against you. How cool is that!
"What? Prime Minister Ye, you are the right prime minister of the dynasty, you are not going to default on your debt, are you? Don't say that this is your grandson's gambling debt and you don't care. As the saying goes, a son's debt is paid by his father. Even if it's two rounds, you still have to pay this debt."
Jiang Fan looked at Ye Ren, whose face was blue and red, jokingly, and his words were so heartbreaking that Ye Ren wanted to vomit blood.
The son's debt is paid by the father. It is obvious that the son should pay the father's debt, but can he refute it? If he refutes it, he will lose his life.
"No, I'm not a bad person. I acknowledge the debt. But I don't have that much money on me. I'll get it for you when I return home!" Ye Ren said gritting his teeth.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Fan shook his head and said, "It's okay, Prime Minister Ye. I have a lot of debts to collect, so it will take a long time. You can call someone to go back and get it now. There's still time!"
His innocent and considerate look made Ye Ren's eyebrows jump. Jiang Fan's words blocked all his ways of cheating.
"Since Fan'er said so, then Lord Ye, just do as he says!" Emperor Yan said at the right time.
His words completely made Ye Ren give up struggling. Although he was unwilling, he did not dare to challenge Emperor Yan. He quickly called the servants and asked them to go back to get the banknotes.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan smiled and said to the others, "By the way, you should all know that your family members have gambled with me. If you don't know, I'll read out the names. If you have anyone in your family, go back and get the banknotes now. It's still not too late! Don't try to cheat, or I'll go to your house to get them!"
Jiang Fan smiled lightly, his voice was gentle, and his smile was even gentler, but to the ears of the court officials, it was like a devil's voice, making their hearts beat wildly.
Emperor Yan sat on the dragon throne, watching his son fight back against the court officials, and he felt amused, but also somewhat appreciative.
Being his prince, you should be like this, repaying kindness and taking revenge.
If his son was oppressed by others and he was so helpless as to endure it, he would be disappointed by his son.
He also didn't expect that his son would use his banner to deceive Chu Xinghe. However, when he thought about how his son used his banner to deceive Chu Xinghe in the Golden Palace, he felt that it was not strange at all for his son to do so.
Moreover, he was also willing to help his son to maintain order.
Looking at these court officials who bullied his son and were tricked to the point of tears, Emperor Yan even felt a bit of evil pleasure in his heart. It was actually quite pleasing to watch them make a fool of themselves.
When the princes saw their father watching Jiang Fan collecting debts with great interest, their eyes were cold and their fists were clenched until their knuckles turned white. There was a strong jealousy and hatred in their eyes, and the eldest prince was the worst.
Concubine Ye was sitting at the palace concubines' banquet, her eyes were bloodshot and her teeth were chattering with anger.
Concubine Ning looked at Jiang Fan, who was collecting debts with a smile on his face, in astonishment. She laughed in her heart and her face became more gentle.
This boy was clever and quirky, and she really liked him. The more she looked at Jiang Fan, the more she felt like she was seeing her own son.
As for Su Meiren and Jiang Xing beside her, they were dumbfounded. Their son (brother) had become so powerful? All the court officials were fooled by him.
Chu Yan'er and other members of the Chu family wanted to laugh when they saw this scene.
They seemed to remember how Jiang Fan tricked the two tigers in the Chu family and made them feel grateful.
The two Chu family tigers looked at each other with a helpless and funny smile on their faces. They also admired Jiang Fan in their hearts. Only the eighth brother could be so awesome.
As Jiang Fan took out a stack of betting tickets and read out the names, a group of court officials with grim expressions quickly asked their men to go back and get the banknotes.
There was no way, the Emperor of Yan was watching, and there was the gambling ticket as evidence, how could they dare to deny it? However, what these court officials were thinking in their hearts was that they would go home and break the legs of the prodigal son at home.
These idiots were cheated by Jiang Fan without even realizing it. They were too ashamed to even think about how their juniors were bragging at home and were about to make Jiang Fan bankrupt.
Damn it, it wasn’t Jiang Fan who was cheated out of everything, it was their dad who was cheated out of everything!
Especially Huang Zhenren, he almost vomited blood and fainted. His son Huang Yiguan bet 10,000 silver. 10,000 taels! If he loses, he will have to pay 100,000 silver.
Although one hundred thousand taels was nothing to him, it was still not a small sum.
However, just when Jiang Fan finished reading everyone's names, he looked at Huang Zhenren with a half-smile and said, "Minister Huang, the 100,000 taels you took are not enough!"
As soon as he said this, Huang Zhenren was stunned. In the official's family seat, Huang Yiguan's head was filled with blood and he fell to the ground. He knew he was finished!
He knew that Jiang Fan was talking about the 150,000 taels bet by the gambling house, and he had to pay 1.5 million taels.
Originally he was still thinking about how to shirk his debt, so he decided to just drag it out until Jiang Fan was killed, and he wouldn't pay a cent.
This way his father wouldn't beat him to death. But now, he was afraid that he couldn't deny the money.
One million and five hundred thousand taels! Half of the Huang family's wealth would probably be emptied out, and his father would beat him to death.
Huang Zhenren opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but Jiang Fan didn't give him a chance to refute.
"Minister Huang, the betting ticket is here. If you don't take it, I will ask my father to close down the Fugui Casino and compensate me directly!" Jiang Fan looked at Huang Zhenren with a smile.
When Huang Zhenren heard this, veins popped out on his forehead and his breathing quickened. A total of 1.6 million taels. They were trying to suck his blood.
"My dear Minister Huang, are you in trouble? If so, would you like me to help you?" At this time, the voice of Emperor Yan sounded at the right time.
Huang Zhenren heard this and cursed in his heart, "Help! I'm helping your sister. Are you helping me? You are just a naked threat."
Huang Zhenren just couldn't understand why the Emperor of Yan wanted to accompany his son like this. He even doted on him to such an extent. What the hell!
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have no difficulties!"
Although he felt bitter, Huang Zhenren had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask someone to go back and get the money. Not only that, he also had to say thank you to the father and son who had cheated him.
He won't take it and try it? Emperor Yan will definitely keep his word.
Even the ministers around might take the opportunity to add insult to injury. After all, many people are eyeing the fat piece of meat that is the gambling house. Now that Emperor Yan has closed it, there will be many people who want to grab the extra share.
