The Human Emperor (1-200)

C73: Loaded!

“Even though it doesn’t align with the rules, what Su Bai said made sense. 1700 gold taels isn’t a small sum and given your capability, there is a high possibility that you aren’t able to repay them. If the Court of Judicial Review finds it highly possible for one to break the contract, we can interfere in the matter. There are similar exceptions in history as well.”

The lips of the two corpse-like aides of the Court of Judicial Review moved.

“But don’t worry, as long as you are able to fulfill the contract between Su gongzi and the others, the Court of Judicial Review won’t do anything.”

For the Great Tang Dynasty to prosper, honesty and credibility stood at the very core of its principles. Only with these could a society grow affluent. This is the very aspect of it that attracted traders from all over the world to Great Tang, be it the Charax Spasinu, the Abbasid Calipahte, Silla, or the Turkic Khaganate.

Thus, the Court of Judicial Review punishes those who break contracts severely. Even though Su Bai was the one who invited the duo here, they would leave immediately if Wang Chong fulfills the contract.

“Wang Chong, what are you afraid of? Do you wish to break the contract? The debt note written in the Eight Gods Pavilion is clear, do you intend to shirk from it?”

Su Bai stood forward and sneered eerily. Wang Chong thought that he would be here just to demand money, but how could that be possible? Today, he came with the purpose of humiliating the Wang Clan.

“Su Bai, I’ll give you one last chance, so consider it carefully. Business is one thing, but are you sure you want to side with the Yao Clan to deal with our Wang Clan?”

Wang Chong sneered coldly.

Wang Chong knew that Su Bai has an intimate relationship with Yao Feng, but private relationship and official relationship were two different matters.

At this point, it was clear that Su Bai was trying to blow the matter up. This was no longer a private grudge between the two of them.

“Hehe!”

Su Bai sneered coldly. Unwilling to waste a single word on Wang Chong, he glanced at the others, and understanding the intention behind his gaze, the crowd by the side immediately roared:

“Wang Chong! Return our money!”

“Return our money! Return our money!”

…

The voice echoed like waves, and each wave was louder than the previous.

“Hmph!”

Looking at the formation before him, Wang Chong sneered coldly. If he had truly squandered that money on frolicking, he would be in a dire situation today.

However, Su Bai would have never expected that Wang Chong would use their money to build a wealth for himself. He obtained the rights to distribute the Hyderabad ore, and the current Wang Chong was nothing short of the word ‘loaded’. 1700 gold tales, along with an interest of 1000 taels, to him, was just spare change.

“Shen Hai, come here!”

Wang Chong beckoned Shen Hai:

“Bring the box beneath my bed here!”

There was a total 5000 gold taels in the box. His uncle, knowing that Wang Chong had passed all of his money to Wei Hao, specially sent this sum here. Stored in a wooden box, no one could tell that such a huge sum laid within.

If Su Bai thought that he could stump Wang Chong with mere 2700 gold taels, he underestimating him!

“Yes, I will bring it over now!”
