Chapter 573

Gao Tianlong, however, sensed something was wrong. He keenly discovered that Gao Yang said he told Wu Zhao he collected ten thousand taels, not that the First Imperial Prince of the Zhao Kingdom gave ten thousand taels!

A difference of one word, but the meaning was worlds apart!

"How much silver did the First Imperial Prince of the Zhao Kingdom give for buying the poem?"

Gao Tianlong asked in a deep voice, and added, not feeling reassured, "Don't you dare deceive this old man, otherwise I'll break your three legs. You know how fast I am!"

Hearing this, Gao Yang's momentum weakened.

"It wasn't much. The First Imperial Prince of the Zhao Kingdom bought a poem from your grandson, and he gave... thirty-five thousand taels..." Gao Yang said, averting his gaze from Gao Tianlong.

Gao Feng's eyes widened.

Gao Tianlong's eyes widened.

"He gave thirty-five thousand taels for buying a poem, then how much silver did you collect earlier?"

Gao Tianlong continued to ask.

Gao Yang's momentum weakened even further, "It wasn't much, four... four chests of gold, silver, and jewelry."

"The Empress doesn't know about this?" Gao Feng asked in astonishment.

"The Empress agreed to it. I collected it all by my own ability; there's no need to tell the Empress about this, is there?"

Gao Yang asked in return.

Gao Feng: "..."

Gao Tianlong: "..."

Gao Tianlong took a deep breath and said irritably, "Since that's the case, why were you crying so miserably and feeling so aggrieved? This old man almost grabbed his spear and mounted his horse!"

Gao Yang smiled sheepishly.

Gao Feng's mouth also twitched violently.

He had almost misunderstood Wu Zhao; this was truly a full understanding of Gao Yang!

Gao Tianlong looked deeply at Gao Yang.

But at this moment, he calmed down.

After all, the Gao Yang in front of him was the ruthless man who had joined forces with Li Long to split the Prince of Rong's mansion in half, embezzling a full five hundred thousand taels.

Compared to that, Wu Zhao now still allowed Gao Yang to collect money.

It was just a light drizzle, a mere drizzle.

Not to mention that Gao Yang still had some rather crazy ideas!

"Forget it!"

"As long as you know what you're doing, collect what you want, but you must do the things the Empress entrusted to you well!"

Gao Tianlong said.

"Sun Er understands. Thank you, Grandfather, for your instruction."

Gao Yang bowed.

At this moment, Lady Li walked over from afar, with a smile on her face, full of grace and luxury.

Gao Feng said seriously, "Although the Empress agreed and you extorted it by your own ability, listen to your father: you can't handle this money. Let me keep it for you!"

"How about we split it in half?"

Gao Yang looked at Lady Li not far behind Gao Feng and said straightforwardly, "Father, you can take two chests of jewelry, but the beauty sent by the First Imperial Prince of the Zhao Kingdom is difficult to handle. Does Father like the upper or the lower one?" ===== CHAPTER 575 =====
