The old man was very angry.

Three dilapidated houses, is this the Grand Commander’s Mansion?

Grandma!

Ning Fan, you are going too far!

Liu Shan’s cloudy eyes were about to spit fire, Ning Fan was obviously playing him like a monkey.

“Grand Commander Ning, is this a bit too much?”

Liu Shan gritted his teeth and looked at Ning Fan.

Ning Fan sneered and frowned: “I don’t like what the prince said. What do you mean I went too far? This is the business of the new governor of Jiangnan. What does it have to do with me?”

“The governor’s mansion you are looking for is right in front of you. It’s up to you whether to live there or not. It has nothing to do with me.”

“In addition, I’m afraid you can’t do the things you asked me to hand over the soldiers and silver in my mansion before.”

Boom! ! !

As soon as these words came out, Liu Shan went completely crazy: “Ning Fan, what do you want to do? Are you still a minister of my Great Zhou? Are you a loyal minister to His Majesty!”

“I am the father-in-law of the country, a king of a different surname, and the current governor of Jiangnan!”

“You tricked me into this broken place, took three broken tile houses to humiliate me, and even refused to hand over the soldiers and silver. Do you want to rebel?”

Liu Shan gritted his teeth and was furious.

His status and position, whether in the capital or in the Great Zhou, are the highest among the best. Even the princes are not as noble as him.

Now, being played by Ning Fan, how can he not be angry.

The gloomy look on Ning Fan’s face became even stronger: “I give you face and call you the prince. If I don’t give you face, I will call you an old thing. Do you really think you are a big shot?”

“How dare you, an old thing who climbed up to the position of a king of a different surname by relying on your own daughter, threaten me?”

Ning Fan didn’t tolerate it at all. He raised his hand and pointed at Liu Shan and started to curse.

He scolded Liu Shan, his face was as red as pig liver, and he was furious, but he had no strength to fight back at all. He was so angry that he trembled all over.

“I’m telling you clearly that although I don’t like you, you are not qualified to let me attack you just because you are an old thing.”

“You can ask around Jiangnan about the manor where I live. If it’s not the Hong family’s manor, I’ll tear my head off.”

“As for whether this place is the Grand Commander’s Mansion or not, I’m new here, how can I know?”

“If they say it is, I will think it is.”

Ning Fan spoke coldly.

Listen, listen, is this acceptable?

If they say it is, you think it is?

“As for the issue of soldiers and horses, there is not a single soldier in Jiangnan. The people under my command are all brought from Youzhou from thousands of miles away.”

“Could it be that you still want me to hand over my people to you?”

Liu Shan’s heart trembled, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn’t say a word.

Yes.

Jiangnan has been in chaos since the year before. There are no soldiers and horses. If it weren’t for Jiang Lan’s timely support, it would have fallen years ago.

So even Liu Shan had to admit that what Ning Fan said was right.

“As for the money, I don’t believe it either.”

“In the land of Jiangnan, the money bag and silver vault of my Great Zhou have long been stretched to the limit.”

“But since you are here, I will naturally hand over the silver vault to you, along with the accounts, tonight at the latest!”

“But since you have taken over as the Grand Commander of Jiangnan, there is something you have to solve for me.”

Ning Fan paused here, looked at Liu Shan’s gloomy face, and continued to speak.

“I brought my men here from Youzhou. I calculated the food, drink, and casualties of the soldiers along the way. The court should give me more than 30 million taels of military pay.”

“Now that you are here, the bill will naturally be on your head.”

“However, for your sake as the dignified Prince Fu, I will naturally give you some face. I don’t want the small change of more than 30 million taels of military pay. Just give me 30 million taels.”

……

……

Liu Shan felt his head buzzing, veins on his forehead were popping out, his eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth, and felt his heart beating several times faster than usual.

He was not a human being. Ning Fan didn’t treat him as a human being at all!

He came to meet the Grand Commander of Jiangnan, which was a must-fight place for many forces in the cabinet.

After all, if he controlled Jiangnan, he would control half of the tax silver of the entire Great Zhou.

Even if he moved his fingers slightly, the silver that leaked out from the nails would be more than he could spend.

As a result… who the hell could have thought that he owed Ning Fan thirty million taels of silver before earning a dime?

Is this the governor of Jiangnan?

This is the number one wrongdoer in Jiangnan!

“Ning Fan!!!”

“Do you think I’m easy to bully!”

“30 million taels of silver, why don’t you go and rob it!”

Liu Shan roared like a mad old lion, with hair all over his body.

Ning Fan’s face instantly turned as cold as ice, and there was a terrible fierce light in his eyes: “Old man, do you think that the lives of my soldiers are not worth 30 million taels?”

“If they hadn’t shed their blood on the front line, how could you dogs have the qualifications to enjoy the good life in the capital?”

“I tell you, you have to take this 30 million taels of silver, whether you want to or not!”

“Take the 30 million, I laughed, we don’t interfere with each other, I take the money and leave, you can do whatever you want in this Jiangnan area!”

“If you can’t come up with this 30 million, haha, I’m afraid you can’t sit as the governor of Jiangnan!”

“Even if you go to the court and come before His Majesty, you can’t run away with this money!”

After saying that, Ning Fan left with a wave of his sleeves.

Only Liu Shan was left, still roaring feebly in the wind.

Thirty million!

Even Liu Shan couldn’t afford it. It would be better to kill him than to ask him to take thirty million.

“Ning Fan, wait for me, wait!”

“I must report you!!!”

Two days later, Liu Shan’s report on Ning Fan arrived in the capital. When the cabinet ministers saw the contents of the report, they were stunned.

Damn, thirty million?

Even a lion’s mouth is not so big!

“This Ning Fan is simply a traitor and a villain!!!”

“In the Jiangnan area, the silver treasury has a tax of several million silver per year. This is the minimum number. How dare he say that the silver is gone now?”

“Gentlemen, look, look, this is the second Yang Xiao!”

Some people cursed with red eyes.

“Are the soldiers under his command made of gold? He is crazy to receive a salary of 30 million!”

“No, give nothing!”

“Let him get out immediately, otherwise, remove his position as the Grand Commander of Beiyou and Youzhou, and demote him to a traitor!”

For a moment, the crowd was excited.

But Tian Ming in the corner spoke at this time: “Everyone, do you want to force Ning Fan to rebel?”

“Ning Fan now controls the five states of Youzhou, Liangzhou, Yuanzhou, Shanliang, and Jiangnan.”

“Tsk tsk, if a Grand Commander who has almost conquered half of the country is forced to rebel, I’m afraid all of you will have to move your heads!”

Tian Ming’s words plunged the entire cabinet into a dead silence.
