The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 54: Father and Son Divide the Loot

Time passed little by little, and Jiang Fan was still collecting debts one by one. Ye Ren had someone bring a silver note of 50,000 taels. His eyes were full of pain and unwillingness, and his eyes were extremely cold.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, he still handed the banknote to Jiang Fan in the end.

Following Ye Ren's start, court officials successively brought silver bills from their homes and stuffed them into Jiang Fan's hands in dozens. They did so with gnashing teeth, unwillingly and reluctantly.

The last person to bring the silver notes was Huang Zhenren. He spent a lot of money, a total of 1.6 million taels, and he almost emptied all the savings in his family.

When handing the banknote to Jiang Fan, he glanced coldly at the officials' families' seats.

The creepy look frightened Huang Yi Guan, who had just woken up, so much that he vomited blood and fainted again.

Now, Huang Yi Guan was afraid that his legs would not be broken, and his butt would be bruised. Huang Siwen was also trembling with fear, and his leg, which had just recovered, felt pain again!

The eyes of the eldest prince Jiang Yi and several other princes were filled with jealousy and resentment. Looking at Emperor Yan who was watching everything with great interest, their eyes were about to spit fire.

They could never have imagined that their father would be so doting and indulgent to Jiang Fan. They had never enjoyed such treatment from their father. How could Jiang Fan be so worthy!

Jiang Fan received three million taels of silver notes. He looked at the unhappy-looking courtier with a hint of amusement and playfulness on the corner of his mouth. These people wanted to make trouble for him, but had they ever thought about his revenge?

If he wants to play, then he can have enough fun. Next time these people harm him, he will find a way to retaliate and see if they dare to harm him again.

Jiang Fan took a stack of silver bills, took out two million taels from it, walked towards Emperor Yan, and handed over the stack of silver bills.

"Father, your birthday will be coming soon. I would like to offer you two million taels of silver as a token of my filial piety... I will keep the remaining one million taels..."

Jiang Fan looked at Emperor Yan with a playful smile and spoke in a relaxed and carefree manner, just like an ordinary conversation between father and son.

His demeanor made Emperor Yan stunned, and a subtle feeling arose in his heart. Being in the royal family, family affection was inherently weak, and the relationship between father and son was also the etiquette of monarch and subject.

When his son and daughter saw him, they were all very cautious and didn't dare to breathe.

But the son in front of him was very kind to him, as if he really treated him as an ordinary father.

This feeling was great, and Emperor Yan enjoyed it very much and was reluctant to leave. Having lived in intrigue all his life, he finally felt sincerity from Jiang Fan.

"Haha... my son, you are thoughtful. However, you should keep this money for yourself. You will soon be setting up a government office and building a mansion, which will require a lot of money. Just think of it as a gift from your father!"

Two million taels is definitely not a small amount, but Emperor Yan would never take his son's money. Even if the money was cheated from others, he didn't want to take it from his son.

Not to mention, his son needed money now. He remembered that when Jiang Fan left the palace, he was penniless and even borrowed money from Chu Xinghe.

Thinking of this, he felt guilty. After his son left the palace, he seemed to have not cared enough about him and forgot to send him money.

At this moment, he even wanted to give Jiang Fan some more money.

"Father, I have a way to make money. Don't worry, I won't starve to death! You can use this money. I will give it to you when I make enough money! As a son, how can I not respect my parents?"

Jiang Fan smiled and shook his head, then stuffed the money into Emperor Yan's hand.

His actions almost scared Liu Fu to death. He had never seen anyone dare to be so rude in front of Emperor Yan.

But they are father and son, and Emperor Yan didn't say anything, so who would dare to come out and rebuke Jiang Fan?

However, Ye Ren and other ministers who were deceived by Jiang Fan, as well as other court officials, rolled their eyes when they saw the father and son dividing the spoils.

Oh my god... Can you two stop being so sour and act like a loving father and a filial son in front of everyone? Isn't it eye-catching!?

Especially Ye Ren and Huang Zhenren, as well as those court officials who were deceived by Jiang Fan, their hearts were bleeding and they were shaking with anger, but they were trying hard to hold it in.

Damn it, you are sharing our money, can you please stop hurting us, okay?

Don't rub salt into the wound, and don't stab us in the heart! It's unbearable!

Emperor Yan looked at his hands that were stuffed full. The silver bills on them made him a little distracted, and his heart ached inexplicably. Jiang Fan's words echoed in his ears.

The words "How can a son not respect his parents" almost broke the Emperor Yan's defense and made him burst into tears on the spot.

I'm afraid that among all my sons, this son of mine is the only one who truly cares about him and truly regards him as his father!

"You little brat...Okay, then Father will accept you..."

Emperor Yan came back to his senses and put the banknote away. At the same time, he looked at his ministers proudly and waved the banknote casually.

His action made all the court officials unable to bear watching, and Chu Xinghe even curled his lips, feeling sour in his heart.

You old man, what are you showing off for? Your son gave you two million without blinking an eye, and he himself is still a pauper. Are you trying to show off that you have a good son?

Don't forget, this kid will soon be the son-in-law of my Chu family. But why doesn't he know to give them some silver?

Emperor Yan took Jiang Fan's banknotes and patted him on the shoulder. His eyes were full of satisfaction and doting!

"Okay... My son, be careful on your trip to Huainan. Make preparations in Beijing before setting off again! Your father has high hopes for you!"

"Well, rest assured, father. I will live up to your expectations!" Jiang Fan nodded. At this point, his voice changed and he continued:

"Father, I will open a government office and a mansion right away. I will be able to lead 500 private soldiers. I would like to take my private soldiers with me when I go to Huainan. I wonder if you can agree. By the way, the white robe soldiers I trained will be my private soldiers. Father, do you think this is okay?"

He gave the banknotes to Emperor Yan in order to please him, and then asked for the five hundred private soldiers.

Anyway, this would not touch the bottom line of Emperor Yan. When his government office was completed, Emperor Yan would also send him private soldiers, or he could recruit private soldiers himself.

"Oh, I agree... My dear Minister Chu, you can give the private soldiers that the prince wants to him." Emperor Yan laughed heartily and seemed very happy.

Jiang Fan quickly replied respectfully: "Thank you, Father, for your grace..."

At this point, he looked at Emperor Yan a little embarrassedly, touched his head and said, "By the way, Father, I have trained 601 people. Can I let them all be my private soldiers?"

His seemingly innocent and honest appearance actually made Emperor Yan stunned. Emperor Yan looked at Jiang Fan with a smile and patted his shoulder. He smiled and said, "Okay... I will allow you to lead a thousand private soldiers. If it's not enough, you can ask Minister Chu for more!"
