Who Is The Protagonist’s Best Friend? I Want To Be A Villain

Not long after Lu Qingli was sent away, Zhenbei Wang Linye arrived.

He also carried a dozen large boxes.

It's not surprising that he came. Cao Xu gave him three days, and now the time has come.

"It's worth a total of six hundred thousand taels of silver."

All the boxes were opened, and the golden gold ingots were dazzling.

Cao Xu glanced at these gold ingots, and then looked at Lin Ye: "What about the remaining 400,000 taels?"

"Give me two more days."

These gold and silver were collected by Lin Ye himself and were not borrowed from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wang Bo said that one million taels of silver could be used as a dowry, but the matter has been delayed. Lin Hao has not married Wang Mingxue, so the Prime Minister's Office will naturally not borrow money.

"Two days? Then add another fifty thousand taels as interest. Isn't that excessive?"

Lin Ye's face darkened.

Not too much? The purchasing power of one tael of silver in the Great Qian Dynasty is not low, and ordinary people cannot spend more than ten taels of silver in a year.

For a family of five, the average cost per person is less than two taels of silver.

Fifty thousand taels of silver is enough to feed 20,000 to 30,000 people for a year.

In two days, Cao Xu dared to ask him for 50,000 taels as interest.

"Does the King of Zhenbei disagree?"

Cao Xu looked at Lin Ye's face as black as coal and asked.

"Okay, I agree."

One million taels were given, and the fifty thousand taels were not missing.

Besides, fifty thousand taels is an unimaginable astronomical figure for ordinary people. For the extravagant princes and nobles, it may not be enough for a year's expenses.

People with weak points cannot stand up in front of Cao Xu.

"I want to see Lin Yu."

In the eyes of King Zhenbei, he indeed valued his eldest son Lin Hao more, but Lin Yu was also his son, so it was impossible for him not to care at all.

Now that Lin Yu is in the hands of Cao Xu, who knows what kind of torture he has suffered.

"There's no rush. We'll talk about it after we collect the one million taels."

"What if I have to see Lin Yu?" King Zhenbei stared at Cao Xu with his eyes like a knife.

"Then you can try."

After Cao Xu finished speaking, Dian Wei and Guan Yu stepped forward.

Looking at the two bodyguards beside Cao Xu, Lin Ye suppressed the anger in his heart.

"In two days, I will take Lin Yu away intact."

After putting down these words, Lin Ye left. At this time, only he knew the frustration in his heart best.

He had never been wronged like this before, but now he was threatened by a young boy named Cao Xu.

"Check it and send it to the treasury."

Cao Xu ordered to Butler Zhao.

Butler Zhao took someone to count it, and it was indeed worth 600,000 taels, and there was no fraud.

Normally, Lin Ye doesn’t dare to play tricks with Cao Xu now.

Especially after Chen Yongan's death, this is also a deterrent to the forestry industry.

Even Qianhuang's confidants dared to kill him, Lin Ye would not gamble, Cao Xu did not dare to attack him.

In fact, Lin Ye was not afraid if Cao Xu simply attacked him.

The key is that Cao Xu threatens him with a bloodbath in Zhenbei Palace.

This is his weakness.

"Go and call Lin Yu over."

After Cao Xu gave the order, Lin Yu was brought over soon.

When he was brought here, Butler Zhao specially took Lin Yu to clean him.

After cleaning the toilet for three days in a row, he smelled strongly of urine and urine.

Bring him here directly. Butler Zhao is still worried about infecting Cao Xu.

But even after cleaning it, Lin Yu still had a smell, but luckily he was standing far away.

"Your father came here just now, and then he left again."

Cao Xu's words made Lin Yu's legs weak and he almost couldn't stand.

What does it mean to come and go again? Could it be that his father didn't want to take out one million taels and he was given up?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu felt despair, resentment, and fear.

In fact, if Cao Xu only used Lin Yu to threaten Lin Ye, Lin Ye might be more ruthless and might really sacrifice Lin Yu.

However, Cao Xu threatened Lin Ye with a bloodbath in Zhenbei Palace, so he had no choice but to take the money.

"I asked for one million taels, but he only gave me 600,000 taels. What should I do if I'm still short of 400,000 taels?"

Cao Xu looked at Lin Yu playfully: "How about paying for it with your life?"

Lin Yu, who was frightened in his heart, finally couldn't support his legs anymore and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Don't... don't kill me, I will find a way to convince my father."

Lin Yu shouted quickly.

He is still young, and he still longs to inherit the Zhenbei Prince's Palace, longs to gain power, and he doesn't want to die yet.

At this time, his mentality was different from when he was first brought to Prince Wei's Mansion. At that time, Lin Yu was not that scared and still had some confidence.

But after three days of being treated like a human being, Lin Yu didn't dare to say that Cao Xu didn't dare to kill him.

Therefore, he gave in. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

"Lord King Wei, if you let me go, I will inherit the Zhenbei Palace in the future. I will give you as much wealth as you want."

Looking at Lin Yu who was pleading, Cao Xu said calmly:

"Inherit the Zhenbei Palace? Why do you think you can inherit the Zhenbei Palace?"

Faced with Cao Xu's question, Lin Yu gritted his teeth, thinking of the news he overheard, and simply betrayed his father.

"My father, Lin Ye, is seriously poisoned and there is no cure. He won't live long."

"When he dies, as long as Lin Hao dies too, I will be the sole heir to the Zhenbei Palace."

"If Lord Wei is willing to help me get rid of Lin Hao, I can give Lord Wei more benefits. I promise Lord Wei that I will give King Wei three million taels as a reward afterwards."

Lin Yu not only wanted to survive, but also wanted to use Cao Xu to get rid of Lin Hao.

Doesn't Cao Xu love money? Then promise him that as long as he can become the true master of Zhenbei Palace, there will be no loss.

"No wonder when I saw something was wrong with Lin Ye, I thought he had been seriously injured and had not recovered. I didn't expect that he was poisoned."

Dian Wei suddenly understood after hearing Lin Yu's words.

Cao Xu was thoughtful.

This Lin Yu is a talented person. He directly betrayed his father. You are really a filial son.

"Originally I wanted to kill you, but now I'm going to give you a chance." Cao Xu's words made Lin Yu's eyes shine.

Could it be that his words moved Cao Xu's heart.

"Write a letter and ask your mother to come to Prince Wei's Mansion. If your mother comes, you can live."

Cao Xu didn't tell Lin Yu what would happen if his mother didn't come. Everything was up to Lin Yu's own imagination.

Lin Yu's expression changed, and after Butler Zhao handed over a pen and paper, Lin Yu finally wrote a letter.

He prayed in his heart, mother, you must come.

If you hadn't come, my life might not have been saved.

As for why Cao Xu asked his mother to come? Thinking of his mother's charm and enchantment, Lin Yu had some suspicions in his mind.

He also struggled in his heart, but for him, a filial son, his own life was the most important thing.
