Chapter 155 Money, Money, Money

The moment Liu Dexia was lifted up, his spirit finally collapsed: "Give me money, give me money..."

"What did he say?" Zhou Chang seemed not to hear clearly.

Gao Yuan stopped and threw Liu Dexia back to the ground.

"I'll give it to you. One thousand taels. I'll give it to you." Liu Dexia couldn't even cry anymore.

"Liu Xia, this is all for your own good. Haven't you heard about it?" Zhou Changyi regained his bright smile and tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "If you don't pay the gambling money, you will be unlucky for the rest of your life."

Liu Dexia was already in a state of dread, shaking like a sieve, unable to hear a word: "Whatever the prince says is what it is, I will just give you the money."

"Tell the servants beside you to get the silver and then untie them." Zhou Chang raised his hand and pointed at the four young eunuchs who had just been taken to the stands for guarding.

Liu Dexia twisted his body and knelt up again, like an eggplant hit by frost, with his head drooping, and shouted to the audience: "Jiqing, Jixiang, you two come up."

The eunuchs below the stage could not see what was happening above, but they had been listening to the noise on the stage. When they heard Liu Dexia calling for people, they looked at the imperial guards guarding nearby and no one dared to move.

After a while, Zhou Chang finally remembered to speak: "Let those two come up."

Only then did the two young eunuchs quickly walk up to the stands.

Liu Dexia signaled the two men to lower their bodies with his eyes, and he whispered a few words in their ears.

After that, the two of them retreated quickly without saying a word.

After the two men left, Liu Dexia collapsed to the ground again.

Liu Dexia's embarrassed look made Prince Yi and Zhou Chang feel much more comfortable: "Forget it, Monkey, untie the rope for him."

The skinny monkey stepped forward and untied the rope on Liu Dexia, but he and Gao Yuan stood on his left and right and did not leave.

After waiting for about an incense stick of time, two young eunuchs came running back, one of them holding a small yellow wooden box in his hand.

Liu Dexia took out a bunch of keys from his arms and used the smallest key to open the small box.

The small box was filled with a pile of silver bills of varying denominations, with gold ingots, silver ingots, accessories, etc. pressed on top, all of which were valuable items.

Liu Dexia took out the two largest denominations of five hundred taels from the banknotes, then quickly closed the lid of the small box and locked it.

The skinny monkey stepped forward, took the two silver bills, and handed them to Zhou Chang with both hands.

"You keep it first." Zhou Chang watched the whole process, and Prince Yi couldn't help but despise her. She didn't plan to take it, but said to Liu Dexia, "Eunuch Liu is a man who can be very rich and powerful. This little money is nothing, but I still want to thank you. This money will be donated to the people in the northern border town, even if it is a little charity for you."

Liu Dexia couldn't say a word and just kowtowed to the ground.

Zhou Chang didn't want to listen to what Liu Dexia had to say, so he waved his hand and sent them away.

Liu Dexia kept his head down, without even looking at Zhou Chang, he picked up his small yellow wooden box and slowly left the stands.

The thin monkey stared at Liu Dexia's departing back with resentment: "Your Majesty, I saw something wrong with the look in Liu Xia's eyes when he left. You might as well have killed him just now, otherwise he might cause more trouble later."

Zhou Chang also noticed Liu Dexia's slight change, and suddenly the consciousness of Yi Wang Fengming emerged clearly in his mind. He understood his plan, but he could not show it on his face. He only whispered: "Killing him is a matter of time, but the time is not right yet, so there is no rush."

"That's true. But if I tell Uncle Qiu about this, he will definitely be happy." Skinny Monkey is a person who is easily satisfied.

Prince Yi's consciousness controlled his body and he nodded.

Zhou Chang no longer had the interest he had just had.

The sun began to set, and although the work on the training ground seemed to be in full swing, one look at the unopened boxes on the east side revealed that the progress had been greatly slowed down.

"Has Mr. Zhong left?" This matter was temporarily settled, and Zhou Chang was about to get back on track.

The skinny monkey looked around and found Zhong Yu's figure on one side of the stands: "Not yet, the prince has to call him."

Zhou Chang nodded.

After a while, Zhong Yuguo came up to the stand and asked, "Does the prince have any instructions?"

"Is everything almost handed over?" Zhou Chang first asked about the progress of the previous work.

Zhong Yudao: "Yes, the handover is basically completed."

"Mr. Zhong, looking at the current progress, I'm afraid it will be too late. The main reason is that more than half of the staff are short of staff today. There may be a way to solve it next time, but the eunuchs and maids in the palace are not going to be used anymore." Zhou Chang didn't know what else to do and could only ask Zhong Yu for help.

Zhong Yuzao knew the situation, but frowned out of habit: "I have heard about this matter. The only way now is to rush the work day and night. I will also ask Manager Fu and his men to look for it outside. As long as we pay more money, we should be able to get it."

"That would be the best. There are only 6,000 snakes, and the current situation shows that we can't make 10,000 bottles of frostbite cream. Ask Manager Fu to take out some of the stock and fill it in tomorrow. No matter what, we have to get 10,000 bottles." Zhou Chang felt that all the worries he hadn't had in the past ten years were spent on these two days.

"Of course." Zhong Yu agreed, and looked up at the sky again, "It's just that it's getting late today. Even if we look for people overnight, we won't be able to find them until tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is the last day." Zhou Chang said softly, not knowing who he could tell.

Zhong Yu was no longer worried at this time: "Your Majesty, it's useless to think too much. As long as we go all out, we will be able to complete it tomorrow."

"Mr. Zhong is right." Zhou Chang was encouraged by Zhong Yu's confidence.

Zhong Yu retreated.

Zhou Changcai gradually began to feel physically and mentally exhausted, perhaps because he did not sleep well last night.

Skinny Monkey came up with two young eunuchs and bowed to Zhou Chang and said, "Your Highness, you must be hungry. The dinner has been sent over by the imperial kitchen. Would you like to eat here?"

Strangely enough, Zhou Chang didn't feel very hungry until now. He almost forgot about dinner. However, he really had no appetite now. He glanced at the bed sheet draped over the back of the chair and said, "I don't have much appetite now. I want to take a nap first."

"Your Highness, do you want to go back to your residence to rest for a while?" Skinny Monkey had been guarding Zhou Chang last night. He was fine, but he knew that Zhou Chang might find it difficult to adapt.

Now is a critical moment, Zhou Chang is worried if he leaves: "No need, go get the bed and quilt, and better move two chairs, I will rest here, I am afraid I have to work overnight."

The skinny monkey shook his head but didn't say anything. The situation was there, so he just grinned and said, "That's good. It's another chance to go to the imperial kitchen and make some money." "Take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, I'll die halfway.

If you write one chapter, it counts as one chapter. If you really can’t do that, write half a chapter.”
