Chapter 104 Tea worth 500,000 taels

Mo Zizai is actually far from as angry as he shows on his face, because he doesn't like drinking tea very much. Whether it's the best Wuyi tea or high-fried ones, it's actually similar to him. He just makes the boiled water taste more and can't taste good or bad.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the pot in the guest room, he had asked the butler to refill twice, which is enough to prove that he doesn't care much about the quality of the tea.

The main reason why he was so angry was to make it easier to find fault.

Although his main purpose today was not to find fault, he finally caught it, so how could he let it go easily?

Seeing that Mo Zizai was indeed attacking the tea issue, Qian Min secretly complained. Although he knew that Mo Zizai was taking advantage of the problem, he did not dare to neglect it. He quickly defended himself: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for your crime. I'm going to the palace to attend the morning court. I don't know about this."

"This matter should be my housekeeper's own decision. The subordinate asked him to bring the best tea leaves in the mansion to the prince."

As he said that, Qian Min shouted to the outside, "Qian Gui, why don't you get over quickly and replace the prince with good tea."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Hearing Qian Min's shout, Qian Gui, the housekeeper who was carefully holding the tea outside, walked in carefully and said to Mo Zizai with a little fear: "Prince, I was so young that I was so worried that I would give this kind of tea to the prince. I hope the prince can understand."

As he said that, Qiangui put several cans of wrapped tea in his hand and placed it on the table beside Mo Zizai, "Prince, this is the best Wuyi tea, it's a little bit of my heart."

"Larf is my heart?"

Mo Zizai looked at the obvious slap marks on Qian Gui's face, and the expression on his face was a little playful. After a moment, he directly said to Qian Min: "Old Master Qian, you, the butler, are so good at making decisions, you are too disrespectful to take you seriously."

"Why, I will take him to the imperial prison to help you discipline me? It will also save you from causing any trouble in the future."

Hearing the word "Zhuo Zhuo", Qian Gui's face turned pale immediately. He turned his head in horror and looked at Qian Min with help. If he was taken to Zhuo Zhuo, he would still have a life.

"Prince, let's forget about the imperial prison."

When Qian Min heard the word "Zhao Zhuo", he also trembled. Looking at Qian Gui's gaze asking for help, he sighed helplessly. Qian Gui must not be taken to Zhao Zhuo Zhuo. This is not only because of his personal feelings, but also because Qian Gui, as his housekeeper, knew that he had too many unknown things.

If he really watched Qian Gui be imprisoned, Qian Gui would not have to provide all his affairs.

"After all, Qian Gui has been a housekeeper in my mansion for decades. If the prince takes him to the imperial prison, he will be unbearable."

"And the reason why he gave the prince such a bad tea was because the servant just paid 10 million taels of silver, which was really a bit insulting, so he ordered the mansion to be more frugal, which reduced the treatment of the guests."

"The officials can testify that everyone is treated like this. He is definitely not like this to target the prince."

Listening to Qian Min's consciousness, Mo Zizai's tone was slightly deeper, "With the meaning of Mr. Qian, I have been drinking this half-hour of Gaozai for vain?"

Looking at Mo Zizai who was holding on to this question, Qian Min had the heart to curse. It was mine that you drank in vain. Even if I didn’t ask you for money, you would still hold on to it.

Of course, I just thought about this in my mind. If I really want to say it, then the one who issued the imperial edict was not Qian Gui, but him.

So he was silent for a while, then waved his hand and asked Qian Gui to retreat, "Prince, tell me, what compensation do you want."

Mo Zizai brought Zhou Qi alone when he came today, so he definitely didn't cause trouble. Now he was holding on to the tea problem, and he was probably trying to blackmail him for a moment, so he said it thoroughly and asked Mo Zizai what he really wanted.

Mo Zizai poured a cup of high-crumb tea from the teapot, sipped it gently, and said with a smile: "I am worthy of being Mr. Qian, and I am just straightforward in doing things."

Qian Min laughed in her heart, you have blackmailed me to the face. If I can't see it, wouldn't my official position for decades be useless? "Please let the prince make it clear."

Seeing Qian Min so well-informed, Mo Zizai would not go around in circles. It was just like what I thought before. He was just looking for an excuse to blackmail him. Why do you have to be a archway after he was a good person? "Let's do this, I'll tell you how you think Mr. Qian?"

When Qian Min's heart suddenly trembled when he heard Mo Zizai say he was talking about a number. Last time Mo Zizai said he was talking about a number, and directly took away most of his worth. Now he talked about a number again?

"Prince...Please tell me."

"Five million taels."

Mo Zizai opened his right hand and said to Qian Min: "What does Master Ge think?"

When Qian Min heard Mo Zizai say five million taels, his face turned dark instantly, "Prince, don't bother you. I'll send Qian Gui's dog thing to the Zhao Prison. If you feel unhappy, please stay in the Zhao Prison."

It's five million taels to speak, this is not a blackmail, it's obviously a life-threatening person.

"Do you want too much? Not that." Mo Zizai thought for a moment in his heart, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "As the number one corrupt official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can't you even get this little money?"

"Prince, I'm just a corrupt official, not a money tree."

Speaking of this, Qian Min had no scruples, so he found a chair and sat down and said openly: "The official admitted that he has indeed greedy for a lot of money over the years, but that was also what I had saved up with great effort."

"You had already asked for 10 million taels before, but now you have to take five million taels because the tea is hard to drink. You really can't take it out."

"Anyway, no matter what you say today, you will definitely not be able to get the five million ounces. If you don't have it, just catch Qian Gui in the prison."

"I can't take it out..."

Mo Zizhai pinched his chin and pondered for a while. Yuzhishi didn't know how much property Qian Min had. He could only roughly calculate that his property was definitely more than 10 million taels.

Moreover, based on Qian Min's previous action of easily taking out 10 million taels, it would be absolutely fine to force him to take out 5 million taels. However, just because the tea is hard to drink, it is indeed a bit unreasonable.

"Then this way, Master Qian Ge. Since you said you couldn't take it out, then this time you asked you to tell me how much you could take out, right?"

Qian Min took a deep breath, weighed the pros and cons in her heart for a long time before he hesitating: "The prince thinks, what about five...500,000 taels?"

He originally wanted to say 50,000 taels, but when he thought of the 5 million taels that Mo Zizai wanted, he felt that the price of 50,000 taels seemed to be too powerful, so he temporarily added ten points.
