The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 119 Let’s go and perform a miracle

Jiang Fan actually wanted these two old guys to kneel down and lick his shoes, but he thought that these two guys might be lazy. If he pressed them aggressively, it would be his fault. So he decided to make them bleed heavily instead.

One million taels per person is not a small amount. Their family assets are estimated to be only two or three million taels. One million taels will definitely cost them a lot of money, but it is within an acceptable range.

He needs money for his development now, so it would be nice if he could get some from these two people.

"What? One million taels, you..." Ye Ren reacted and exclaimed in surprise.

However, after the exclamation, she looked at Jiang Fan with a playful and teasing look.

Ye Ren had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, and repressed the urge to curse, with a faint smile on his face.

"Okay, I promise you, Prime Minister Fan, what do you think?" Having said that, he looked at Fan Xiandao.

The corners of Fan Xian's eyes twitched and his mouth was about to be twisted with anger. Fan Zuoxiang, who seemed calm and composed and always showed himself to be mysterious, was almost broken by Jiang Fan's big mouth.

Damn it, why don’t you want to make me bankrupt? One million taels, it’s a pity you can even come up with it.

But he opened his mouth to say no, but couldn't. If he really refused, Jiang Fan would have something to say.

It's you who wanted to use this as a title. You won't even give me any benefits. So I won't use this title. What can you do?

Do you want to fight?

Okay, then let's argue about it! If we argue about this, Jiang Fan might even change the topic.

Gritting his teeth, Fan Xian snorted coldly and said, "Okay... I agree too!"

Although he was somewhat reluctant, he thought that Jiang Fan had no ability to solve the drought, so he didn't even think about it. Anyway, he wouldn't lose a piece of meat if he agreed. As long as Jiang Fan was willing to use the drought as the topic, that would be enough!

Jiang Fan was destined to lose, and he would not pay a penny.

However, as soon as he said this, Jiang Fan continued: "Then please prepare the silver first. Once it is ready, we will set out now to solve the drought..."

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Ye Ren and Fan Xian staggered and almost died on the spot due to anger from Jiang Fan's words.

You are too good at taking advantage of the situation. Now we have to bet, are you disgusting or are you doing it on purpose?

The scene suddenly fell into silence because of Jiang Fan's words.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Jiang Fan in astonishment. The Emperor Yan was stunned, all the court officials were stunned, and several princes were also stunned.

Chu Yan'er and Chu Xinghe, father and daughter, were also confused. They thought they had heard wrongly. After Jiang Fan agreed to the question, he actually said that he was going to solve the drought. What did he think this drought was?

Whether it's a fucking chicken or a duck, or a cat or a dog, I'll solve it if I say so! There should be a limit to bragging!

"Are you kidding? The drought can be solved just like that? Your Highness the Eighth Prince, can you please stop going crazy here? No one will believe you!" Huang Zhenren said with contempt.

However, as soon as he said this, Jiang Fan looked at him and said, "Why? Minister Huang wants to join too? Otherwise, you also take one million taels and bet whether I can solve the drought now?"

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Huang Zhenren opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. However, Huang Zhenren came to his senses and was so angry at Jiang Fan's words that he quickly said:

"Okay... I'll bet with you... Isn't it just one million? If Your Highness can't solve it, you have to lose one million taels to me, how about that?"

Huang Zhenren was so angry that he wanted to get back at Jiang Fan for cheating him out of 1.5 million taels of silver. Since Jiang Fan had come to him, he had to make the money.

Anyway, he didn’t think Jiang Fan could solve the drought now. After all, it was too ridiculous!

"Then... everyone go get the silver, and we'll decide the winner at the Tower of Babel in Dongxiangguo Temple in the capital!" Jiang Fan said to Huang Zhenren with a smile.

Having said that, he looked at Ye Ren and Fan Xian, his eyes full of amusement.

Ye Ren and Fan Xian were suddenly in a dilemma after seeing him look like this. The reason they agreed just now was because they thought they could delay it.

But who would have thought that Jiang Fan would ask them to take the money right now. And they wanted to fight it out right now. What the hell was going on?

"My dear ministers, you were the ones who proposed the bet, and you also agreed to the words. What? Are you going to go back on your words? If that's the case, then let's talk about the bet separately!"

At this moment, Emperor Yan spoke.

Although he couldn't figure out what his son was up to, Jiang Fan was so sure that he inexplicably developed a sense of confidence.

Since his son wanted to cause trouble, of course he had to add fuel to the fire. Otherwise, these people would think that he would let his son be bullied.

Ye Ren and Fan Xian looked at each other helplessly and nodded, then sent the guards to the house to get the banknotes. Huang Zhenren was not willing to lag behind and sent someone to go.

After all, he felt that he was sure to win this time and that Jiang Fan was just bluffing.

Anyway, Jiang Fan was so eager to give him money, why not just give it up? He could even get his money back.

When several guards took the letters from Ye Ren and the other two back home to get the silver, Jiang Fan told them to send the silver to the Tower of Babel in the east of the city by express horse.

At this time, he turned to look at Emperor Yan and said, "Father, please move to the Tower of Babel. I will perform a miracle for you!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan looked at Jiang Fan in a daze and nodded.

"Okay...everyone, move to the Tower of Babel!"

Although, he didn't know what Jiang Fan wanted to do, since his son said so, he couldn't ruin his plan.

Chu Yan'er and Chu Xinghe looked at Jiang Fan in astonishment. They wanted to ask Jiang Fan several times what he wanted to do, but they finally held back.

Now that there were so many people around, they were afraid that they would ask questions that they shouldn’t ask and disrupt Jiang Fan’s plans. They could only quietly follow Jiang Fan out of the palace and head towards the Tower of Babel with the team.

Jiang Fan asked a carriage to accompany him, and the Chu brothers protected the things on the carriage and rushed to the Tongtian Pagoda of Xiangguo Temple in the east of the city.

As Emperor Yan drove to the Tower of Babel in the east of the city, all the people in the city were alarmed, and many of them did not know what was going on.

However, Jiang Fan did not need to send anyone to create momentum, as several princes and dependent ministers, and even some other court officials, quickly spread the news that Jiang Fan was going to the Tower of Babel to solve the drought.

When the people heard this, they were all stunned. They all thought they had heard it wrong?! Going to the Tongtian Pagoda in Xiangguo Temple to solve the drought? It's so funny!

The Tower of Babel is a Buddhist place, a tall tower in the Xiangguo Temple, and the highest place in the entire capital city. Even the observatory of the Imperial Observatory is half as short as the Tower of Babel.

If the hill on which the Tower of Babel is built is added, the Tower of Babel is nearly three times the height of the Observatory.
