They are reluctant to leave!

But they still ran to the palace gate, and some shameless ones even tried to bargain with the soldiers at the palace gate.

"Big brother, I really don't have ten thousand taels of silver. Can you let me quit smoking first? After that, I will make money. Please believe me. Even if you give me ten guts, I dare not owe the Queen money!"

The man who was speaking had a greasy face and a fat body, and was as fat as three normal people.

When she said these words, her eyes were rolling around, and it was obvious that she had a quick mind.

The eunuch in charge of registration at the palace gate looked at her indifferently and asked, "You said you have no money?"

The fat man nodded quickly.

"What's your name, where do you live, and what did you do before?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Queen had so many rules.

However, in order to get rid of his addiction to Xiaoyao Tea, he still patiently said, "My name is Hou Tiancheng, and I used to run a cloth shop. My home is in..."

The father-in-law patiently remembered all of this, and a young eunuch beside him quickly left.

Hou Tiancheng hurriedly asked, "What are you doing..."

"We always have to verify this. If you really don't have money at home, I can lend you money, but I charge interest, you know?"

Hou Tiancheng...

This is fucking so stingy, is the Queen so stingy? How about helping them quit for free?

When the people following Hou Tiancheng saw this, those who were originally tempted to get something for free couldn't help but stop.

They didn't dare to step forward, in fact, they just wanted to see how Hou Tiancheng would handle the matter.

At the scene, many people also knew Hou Tiancheng's worth.

Although it cost a lot of money to buy Xiaoyao tea, there was still 10,000 taels of silver left at home.

Soon, the eunuch who had gone out came back.

I whispered a few words into my father-in-law's ear.

"Ha ha……"

The father-in-law was so angry that he laughed, "Hou Tiancheng, are you sure there is no money left in the family, right?"

Hou Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

But at this time, if he suddenly said that he had money, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?

"My humble servant, I am sure that I have no more money at home..."

Hou Tiancheng said this with gritted teeth. At this time, he absolutely could not change his statement.

The eunuch banged the gavel in his hand, and everyone present was shocked.

"You... are really brave. I just sent someone to inquire and found out that you still have 30,000 taels of silver in the silver shop!"

"Since you've said that you don't have any money, then these thirty thousand taels..."

"Just confiscate them all!"

Hou Tiancheng's chubby body was shaking and his fat face was as white as paper.

"I... Sir, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again. I am willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver..."

Hou Tiancheng had a sad face. He never thought that this young eunuch would actually inquire about his property.

And we got the exact news so quickly.

This is simply bullying!

The silver stored in the silver shop could actually be found out.

It turns out that the people in the palace are not human.

Knowing that this was a place run by the imperial court, he actually didn't think of defaulting on the debt. He just thought that he would pay the money after he completely quit smoking. As a result...

"Hou Tiancheng, are you sure you have the money? Cash!"

Hou Tiancheng nodded quickly. How dare he say he had no money? If they continued to investigate, they would probably find out everything about him.

"Okay, twelve thousand taels, give it over!!"

Hou Tiancheng...what did he hear just now? Twelve thousand taels! Was this young eunuch right? He clearly said ten thousand taels of silver at the beginning, how come it increased to two thousand taels in the blink of an eye!

That’s two thousand taels of silver!

Just like the stores he opened in Beijing, there are four or five of them in total, but even if all the money is added together, he can't make that much money in a day.

To be precise, most of the time you can't earn that much in a month.

Unless sometimes, business is particularly good, or you are lucky enough to meet a super big customer.

"Our people are going to investigate just now. Doesn't this cost money?"
