Chapter 194 With this little money, it’s hard for me to do things for you!

That night, an invitation letter with special symbols was passed into Lin’s residence.

Lin Beifan opened it and smiled, “Now that I think of me, why did you go?”

This invitation letter is from Dayan. Although there is no special signature, 80% of it is from the third prince of Dayan.

It must be because I was in a hurry to lose today, that’s why I had to contact him.

“It’s not easy to be greedy for some money. You don’t even know how to give me money if you don’t beat the shit out of you!”

Lin Beifan accepted the invitation and went out happily.

When I came to a restaurant, I entered a relatively secret room. I saw the initiator of this invitation letter, and it turned out to be Yan Xinghe, the third prince from Dayan.

“So it’s His Royal Highness the Third Prince!” Lin Beifan clasped his hands and said with a smile.

“Lin Jijiu, I have admired you for a long time! I have long heard that you are knowledgeable and capable, and today’s performance has made my eyes shine and I am amazed! Therefore, I specially invite you to come over today!” The third prince laughed.

“Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness. I’m ashamed! I don’t know what your Highness is looking for me for?” Lin Beifan asked.

“This… let’s drink and eat first, and we’ll talk after drinking!”

“Alright!” Lin Beifan nodded.

After eating some side dishes and drinking some wine, Lin Beifan asked again: “Your Highness, the third prince, what do you mean you came to me? Please tell me straight up, the battle between Yan and Wu will continue tomorrow, I can’t stay long, I have to go back to rest and prepare for the battle !”

“This… this… cough cough…” The third prince looked shy and hesitated.

After all, he still wants face, and it is still very difficult for him to say these things.

The old minister next to him saw it, took the words of the third prince, raised his glass and smiled and said: “Lin Jijiu, it looks like this! Our Highness led the team to Great Wu to participate in the battle between Yan and Wu this time, and was entrusted by His Majesty and the people of Dayan.” High hopes!”

“If you lose the battle between Yanwu and Yanwu, it will be very hard to explain when you go back. So I hope you can properly release the water during the competition, so that our Yanwu can win by chance. This is our little care, please accept it!”

With that said, he handed over an exquisite small box.

Lin Beifan opened it and saw a total of 300,000 taels of silver notes.

“I would also like to ask Lin Jijiu to complete the ceremony, I am very grateful!” The third prince cupped his hands.

Lin Beifan took out a banknote from the small box, and slapped it twice on his hand, the sound was very clear and pleasant.

This is not a small amount of money. With Lin Beifan’s current official position, he has worked hard in the court all his life, and the salary he earned may not be able to reach this amount.

However, Lin Beifan said with a look of embarrassment: “Your Royal Highness, I have seen your intentions! But to be honest, it is very difficult for me to do things for you with this little money!”

The third prince and the veteran looked at each other, thinking to himself that this person is really greedy, even 300,000 taels can’t satisfy his appetite.

The third prince’s face was gloomy, and the veteran asked, “Lin Jijiu, how much do you want?”

Lin Beifan raised a finger: “It’s worth 1 million taels!”

The third prince and veteran: “Damn!”

One million taels, you really can speak!

The veteran said in a deep voice: “Lin Jijiu, your request is a bit too much! We just let you release the water, let us win by chance, and don’t have to pay anything. Isn’t 300,000 enough?”

< p>
“Lord Wang, you’re speaking so lightly!” Lin Beifan sneered, “Do you know how much I will lose if I lose the Yanwu Contest?”

“I would like to hear the details!” said the old minister.

“After today’s events, my reputation is already at the top of the sky, and my reputation is spreading far and wide! Now is the time to make great strides and make further progress, but if I unfortunately lose the game, then my reputation will plummet and I will be reduced to Laughing stock!”

“It’s equivalent to sacrificing the reputation I’ve built so hard to fulfill your great reputation!”

“As the saying goes, money is like dung, and reputation is worth a thousand gold!” Lin Beifan shouted: “I sacrificed my own reputation to fulfill your good name, can it be that a mere 300,000 taels can make up for it?”

“This…” The third prince and the veteran looked at each other in blank dismay.

“Moreover, besides reputation, the future of this official is also affected!”

Lin Beifan threw down the bank note in his hand, poured wine and said: “These days, I have made many great contributions to the imperial court! Now the time is ripe, as long as you can win the Yanwu Controversy, Your Majesty’s heart will be happy, All the officials are happy, the people are excited, and they will definitely be promoted to a higher level!”

“I am now a fourth-rank official of the imperial court. If I go up one level, I will be a third-rank official of the imperial court. I can be called an important official of the imperial court! Your Highness the third prince, Lord Wang, if it were you, I would be willing to pay for this mere 300,000 taels. Give up this great future?”

The two were shocked again: “Ah, this…”

If it were them, they would definitely not want to!

If you can become a third-rank official of the imperial court, what is the 300,000 taels worth?

Becoming a third-rank official means a higher position and greater power. Isn’t it easy to make money?

As the saying goes, three years to clean up the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes in silver!

Even the magistrate of the fourth rank can earn 100,000 taels of silver in just three years!

Isn’t it easier for a third-rank court official?

“Lin Jijiu, are you really going to be promoted again?” the old minister, Mr. Wang, couldn’t help asking.

“Of course, what did I lie to you for?” Lin Beifan’s face was displeased.

“Congratulations to Lin Jijiu!” The old official cupped his hands and said enviously.

It seems that he has struggled for most of his life, and his hair turned gray before he climbed down from the court and became an important minister of the court.

The other party is ready to become a third-rank official at a young age, how can he not be envied?

Lin Beifan sighed: “Stop congratulating, this is not something to be happy about!”

“You’re all promoted, aren’t you happy?” The third prince and the veteran were all dumbfounded.

Lin Beifan sighed again, and said with a melancholy face: “Of course, the promotion speed is too slow! Like I used to, basically I was promoted every month, and the speed has been very stable! But now, after more than two Month, it took nearly three months to upgrade to a level, and it is not as good as before, so I am a little embarrassed to speak!”

The third prince and the two were shown their faces, and they were all in a bad mood!

You know, that’s a third-rank official, a real important minister of the court, who is trusted by the emperor, holds great power, and can influence national policy with every word and deed. How can it be so easy to get promoted?

You can accomplish such an achievement in three months, how slow is it?

Still embarrassed to speak?

Really really…

I’m so pissed off!

Both of the third princes were a little unhappy!

At this time, Lin Beifan waved his hand: “Forget it, let’s not mention these sad things!”

The third prince and veteran: “…”

“Let’s get down to business and continue talking about the Yanwu Controversy!”

Lin Beifan said eloquently: “The battle between Yan and Wu is related to my reputation and future! You only paid 300,000 taels, and let me sacrifice my reputation and have a future. Is it possible? Besides, I lack the 300,000 taels Is it?”

The third prince looked at each other again.

300,000 taels, you really don’t need it, but we don’t have any more money for you.

“Lin Jijiu, I think you should obediently accept the money and do things for us honestly!”

The third prince said with a trace of temper: “You know, you are ours! If your identity is leaked out, your bright future, glory and wealth will all be wiped out! Can Great Wu accommodate you?”

Lin Beifan sneered, and said with a sneer, “How dare you threaten me? Your Highness, Third Prince, you are so naive. You go out now and expose my identity. Do you think people believe you or me?”

“Go and tell Her Majesty the Empress, do you think she will believe me, a loyal minister who has made many contributions to Great Wu, or you, an enemy prince with sinister intentions?”

The third prince was speechless.

Looking at Lin Beifan’s proud face, he said in a deep voice, “But we have evidence!”

“What evidence?”

“At the beginning, we spent huge sums of money to obtain the manufacturing method of the big balloon and the hovercraft from you. This manufacturing method is the evidence! As long as you compare it with your handwriting, you will be completely indisputable!” The third prince smiled triumphantly.

With a puff, Lin Beifan spat out the wine and laughed loudly: “Haha…”

“What are you laughing at?” The third prince asked angrily.

“It’s so funny to threaten me with the blueprint of the method of manufacturing. It makes me laugh!” Lin Beifan laughed loudly.

“Is there something wrong?”

“Your Highness, the Third Prince, do you think I didn’t think about the consequences when I did these beheadings? The blueprint I gave you is completely different! You want to threaten me with this, it’s too natural, it’s ridiculously naive ! Haha…”

The third prince was very upset, black lines appeared on his face, and his heart was full of anger.

If he wasn’t in the territory of Great Wu, he would have wanted someone to drag this disrespectful person out and chop him up!

“Okay, okay, everyone is your own, don’t hurt your peace!”

The veteran finally stood up and acted as a peacemaker: “Lin Jijiu, just now His Highness was young and impulsive and said some nonsense, don’t take it to your heart! This old man punishes himself with three cups, and you adults don’t count villains!”

< p>
As he said that, he drank three cups in a row, and his face changed.

“Master Wang still knows the general idea, please!” Lin Beifan returned a glass of wine.

“Lin Jijiu, after careful consideration by the old man, you said 1 million taels, so it’s 1 million taels! I will trouble Mr. Jijiu tomorrow!”

The third prince was in a hurry, pulled the other party to a corner, and said in a low voice, “Master Wang, how can we have so much silver taels?”

The veteran smiled bitterly and said, “Your Highness, you can’t afford it now! Just now you were too impulsive and offended Lin Beifan. What if he holds grudges in his heart and kills the Quartet tomorrow? We really can’t afford to lose!”

The third prince was full of confusion: “But we don’t have that much money…”

“It’s still possible to make it together! As long as you can win the battle between Yan and Wu, what’s the point of losing money?”

The third prince thought for a while, finally made up his mind, and nodded: “What Mr. Wang said is very true!”

So, they came back and promised 1 million taels.

But Lin Beifan was still very unhappy: “Just sent me away for 1 million? You thought beautifully! You threatened me just now, I am very unhappy, I have to pay more!”

The three princes said, “Damn!”.
