The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 63 Taking the opportunity to blackmail
Yinzhen took a deep breath and said, "How dare you speak?" He cursed in his heart, "The Tenth Master is taking advantage of the situation!"
Wanyong Pawnshop was in the best location and on the best floor. It was located at the most prosperous intersection in Beijing, with people coming and going. It had eight shops facing the street and three floors. If the whole thing was sold, it would bring in 500,000 taels of silver, which would bring in a revenue of 100,000 taels of silver a year. Lao Shi really dared to ask for it.

After a moment's hesitation, he thought of the matter of the starling. At this critical moment, he didn't care about the money anymore. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hey, I don't think it's a big deal!"

"Isn't it just a pawnshop? Brother Nine gave it to you. Just consider it as a congratulations on your promotion to prince. How do you think?"

"Really, thank you very much, Ninth Brother. I knew that you would be very kind to me." Li Yan was overjoyed. He stood up, held Yinzhen's hand, and kept thanking him.

Just when Yinzhen was thinking about the Taoist priest, Li Yan said dejectedly, "But even if you give it to me, it's useless! It takes time to open a pawn shop, and I don't need to buy goods. If you take the things inside and open another one nearby, I will still have no livelihood."

Yin'er was furious at this moment. This Old Tenth Master really didn't care about friendship at all.
Thinking of the current major event, Yinzhen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Don't worry, Tenth Brother. I won't touch anything in here. I'll leave it all to you. Even the shopkeeper and the waiter will be given to you first. You can open the shop normally soon. When you find people you can use, you can send them to me. How about that?"

Got it
It was another few hundred thousand taels of silver, and Yinzhen felt pain in his heart, and his heart was bleeding.

But thinking about the big thing that was about to happen, I had to pretend to be generous and magnanimous on the surface and give him a good send-off without arguing with him over these details.

Li Yan looked excited. He took the banknotes on the table calmly, put them in his arms, and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Brother Jiu. It's just a Taoist priest! It's nothing. Just send it over. I'll take it to Brother Ba tomorrow morning. I'll make sure this matter is handled beautifully."

When Yinzhen saw the silver bills on the table go into the arms of the tenth brother, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly and he felt uncomfortable.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. Hundreds of thousands of taels were gone just like that. After his trip to the south of the Yangtze River, the Tenth Old Man became a completely different person. He was not only more cunning than before, but also more worldly-wise. He was no longer like before, who would get away with a few small gifts. He became extremely greedy.

However, the Tenth Prince is no longer the same as before. He is now a prince like the mynah bird, and the old man looks at him with a higher regard.

Because of his different status, Lao Shi probably doesn't want to be an errand boy like before. But fortunately, these industries are controlled by Dai Bage. It's worth it to trap a prince.

This money is used to help my brother get the position of crown prince. When the time comes, the whole country will be in his hands, and this little money will be enough. As for the tenth brother, when my brother ascends the throne, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Tenth Master, then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll go back now and bring the man to you tomorrow morning." Yinzhen forced a smile.

Li Yan smiled and stepped forward, grabbing Yinzhen's arm and saying, "Ninth brother, look, how can we delay such an important matter? Besides, I still need to practice with him to see how to cooperate with him, so that no one can see the flaws."

"I will go with you right now, and take back the pawn shop's title deed. How can I let you personally deliver it? This would be too unbrotherly of me, the Tenth Brother."

Yinzhen looked at Li Yan's smiling face and really wanted to grab his collar and ask, "Do you really treat me as a brother?"

Li Yan ignored the ugly face of Old Nine who was trying hard to suppress his anger, and pulled Yinzhen out with excitement.

"Nineth brother, don't tell me. After I went to Jiangnan, I realized that you are really rich. That Ren Boan can easily take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Ninth brother, can't you make millions of taels this year?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Shi. There are not so many. Besides, these belong to Bage. I am just the shopkeeper."

The two brothers walked out of the house side by side. Of course, one was in a good mood, and the other was suppressing his anger.

Near noon, Li Yan returned to the Tenth Master's Mansion happily with an old man in his fifties wearing a Taoist robe, carrying the title deed of Wanyong Pawn Shop in his arms.

As soon as he entered the house, he ordered the housekeeper to arrange for the Taoist priest to stay in the guest room and entertain him well. At the same time, Wuwu went to the study, picked up a piece of paper, and wrote down Lao Ba's plan in detail. After thinking for a while, he also wrote down the matter of the pawnshop and the 100,000 taels of silver.

After writing, he checked it and found it was correct. He took out an envelope, put the letter inside and sealed it. There was no signature on the letter. If it was lost, no one would know who wrote it. Lao Shi rarely wrote. Except for the memorials to the emperor, ordinary brothers had never seen Lao Shi's handwriting.

After doing all this, Li Yan came to Alan's residence. Alan lived in a separate courtyard. She used to be a maid for Qiuyue, but since Zhang Wu Zhang became a royal guard, she no longer followed anyone else. Instead, she lived alone and enjoyed the treatment of a master.

Because of Li Yan's courteous attitude, no one in the mansion treated Alan as a servant.

Alan was born in a poor family. Even though he lived in the prince's mansion, he did not employ any servants. He did everything by himself, which made Li Yan admire him even more.

When Li Yan came, Alan was washing clothes in a basin.

"Master Shi, you are here."

When Alan saw Li Yan coming, she put down the clothes she was washing in surprise, welcomed Li Yan into the room with a joyful face, made tea for Li Yan, and then sat beside him with a joyful face.

"Alan, did you miss me?" Li Yan asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

Alan nodded shyly: "I think about him every day, even in my dreams."

Seeing Alan behaving like a young wife, Li Yan's heart was filled with emotions, but thinking of the important business, he endured it, because the important business was more important.

Alan can't run away. He will be his sooner or later. Why rush?

"Alan, have you visited Fifth Brother recently?"

Alan thought for a moment and said, "I met him once before I went to Rehe. When I was in Rehe, the emperor was busy with government affairs, and my brother accompanied him every day, so I didn't get a chance to see him. I just came back, and I was planning to go see him in a couple of days."

"Well, Alan, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, just go there and bring something to him for me. Ask him to find a chance to give it to the emperor before he goes to court tomorrow." After saying that, he took out the letter from his arms and placed it in front of Alan.

When Alan heard about such a big thing, he immediately became nervous: "Master Shi, I'm afraid I'll delay your work."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. It's just that I, the Tenth Master, am too obvious a target and many people are watching me, so it's not convenient for me to show up. That's why I asked Fifth Brother to pass it on for me. You don't have to worry!" Li Yan comforted him gently.

Lao Jiu had just been here. In order to avoid Lao Ba arranging someone to keep an eye on him, Li Yan thought about it and decided to be cautious. It would be most appropriate to let Alan do this.

do not know why.
Seeing Li Yan looking at him with trust, Alan felt a surge of courage in his heart, and said seriously, "Okay, I'll go now and do the job for Master Shi."

"Well, thank you, Alan!" Li Yan reached out and rubbed Alan's cheek, saying with a smile.

Watching Alan go out, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sky, and decided to go find Lao Wu to chat.
