Chapter 2278 Rumors 4
Although Li Yifu also suspected that the news was leaked from Prince Ji's Mansion, he had no evidence and it was not reasonable.
The servants in Prince Ji's mansion did not have the courage to fabricate rumors and slander a prince.
However, Li Zhi firmly believed that it was Li Shen who did it. Who else but Li Shen could frame him like this?
He has no grudge against anyone else.
"It must be him. Send someone to investigate immediately. No matter what method you use, you must find evidence that it is him.
I will go to His Majesty and report him."
Li Zhi seemed to be possessed.
"I have already sent people to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon, but I guess it will be difficult to find out.
Prince Ji has always been very careful in his work, so it's very difficult to find out that it was Prince Ji who did it."
Li Yifu looked at the emotionally unstable Li Zhi and spoke quickly.
"Damn it! This despicable man is playing these conspiracies and tricks from thousands of miles away."
He was so angry that he wanted to kill Li Shen with his own hands, but he really had no choice and gradually calmed down.
"How's our betting going?" After calming down, Li Zhi started talking about serious matters.
"Your Highness, we have made a lot of money in the past few months, with a monthly income of over 200,000 guan. I never thought that playing football could make so much money.
Prince Ji has indeed made great achievements in business, unmatched by anyone."
Speaking of guessing games, Li Yifu couldn't help but admire that Prince Ji was really good at making money.
Others use football as a tool for entertainment, but King Ji actually makes a lot of wealth through football.
No wonder Prince Ji’s Mansion is so wealthy that it rivals a country.
"Humph, football wasn't invented by him. He just improved it. Cuju has existed as early as the Han Dynasty.
He only knows some strange tricks, but they are all minor techniques."
Li Zhi snorted coldly. He would not admit that Li Shen was powerful.
Seeing this, Li Yifu didn't dare to say anything more.
"Two hundred thousand strings of cash a year is still not enough. We already have the upper hand, and now all the forces are following suit.
We want to continue expanding and do the same as the Prince Ji's Mansion, doing whatever they do.
Tell our informants to report their movements promptly."
Li Zhi was very dissatisfied with the annual income of more than 200,000 strings of cash. He calculated through his spies that the annual income from the Ji Wang Mansion's gambling might reach as much as 7 or 8 million strings of cash.
He only earned two million guan a year, which was far from enough. His ambitions were far greater than that.
"Your Highness, I think it's about time now." Li Yifu tried to persuade him.
"Huh? Why? This is a great opportunity to make money."
Li Zhi frowned when he heard this.
“Your Majesty, Prince Ji is not one to suffer any loss. Who has ever taken advantage of him over the years?
Now that so many forces are trying to grab his interests, I am afraid that Prince Ji will plot revenge against us when he returns.
If we expand too much, it will be difficult to end it in the future." Li Yifu was a meticulous person and he studied Prince Ji carefully.
Including everything related to Prince Ji in the past ten years.
He found that no one could take advantage of anything related to the general. He even dared to cheat His Majesty of his money.
Over the years, many aristocratic families and nobles in Chang'an City have been cheated by Prince Ji. This young prince only allows himself to cheat others, but not others to cheat him.
Especially his vengeful character.
This time, all forces began to imitate the guessing game of Prince Ji's Mansion and divide this huge piece of profit. How could Prince Ji let it go?
If the business is too big, it will be easy for Prince Ji to take advantage of it.
"You think too highly of Li Shen. With so many forces present, I don't believe he can handle them all at once.
Besides, as long as we are more careful and cautious and don't give him any chance to take advantage of us, he won't be able to attack us even if he wants to.
I believe other forces think the same way.
Now that Li Shen is gone, this is our chance, and we can't let others get there first."
Li Zhi said disdainfully that as long as he took more precautions, he didn't believe Li Shen would find any way to trick him.
And there are so many forces here, it won’t be difficult to deal with Li Shen together.
The guessing game was already controversial, and the ministers in the court had many complaints, but because Li Shen was smart,
By giving the shares to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was tied to the imperial court, making it impossible for the people in the Censorate to impeach him.
Otherwise, Li Shen himself would have been impeached by the officials and not allowed to leave.
Although Li Yifu disagreed with what Prince Jin said, he had no choice seeing that Prince Jin insisted on doing so.
"Alright, just do as I say. Expand as quickly as possible, open more shops, and also go to the towns surrounding Chang'an City to open shops.
Didn’t they already go to Prince Ji’s Mansion? We can’t fall behind.”
Li Zhi finally made a decision.
"Yes, Your Highness." Li Yifu could only accept the order helplessly.
At the same time, in Li Tai's study at the Prince of Wei's Mansion, he laughed when he heard the news reported by Du Chuke:
"Hahahaha, this Old Ten never misses any opportunity for revenge."
"Your Highness, do you think this matter is related to Prince Ji's Mansion?" Du Chuke asked.
"Of course, this kind of thing is not painful or itchy, but it is very disgusting. It is naturally his work.
Who else but him would do such a meaningless thing?"
Li Tai replied with a smile.
"But Prince Ji is thousands of miles away, and the court has only known about this for three days. Could Prince Ji have foreseen it?"
Du Chuke was a little confused.
"Of course he had received the news a long time ago. I heard that this incident happened more than 20 days ago. It seems that it was because of the bridge collapse and heavy rain, so they took a detour.
Otherwise, you can reach Chang'an in three days.
And Lao Shi probably got the news in advance."
Li Tai guessed.
"I see. Your Highness Prince Ji is indeed a young man at heart, doing such meaningless things."
Du Chuke suddenly realized that only Prince Ji could do such a childish thing. Apart from disgusting people, it had no real meaning.
"Zhi Nu has repeatedly targeted Lao Shi, so Lao Shi will naturally not let go of the opportunity. Although it is meaningless, it is also good to give Zhi Nu trouble.
Our tenth brother is not so broad-minded. He will take revenge for any slight, no matter the cost.
Otherwise, he would not have rushed into Prince Jin's mansion and beaten Zhinu.
We don't need to get involved in this matter; it's just a quarrel between children.
Is there any other news from the outside world?"
Li Tai knew Li Shen too well. With his childish personality, only he could do such a thing.
"My Lord, nothing major has happened in Chang'an City. The only thing worth noting is that various forces are imitating the charity competition held by Prince Ji's Mansion.
Having made a lot of money from football matches, many forces are still expanding their stores in an attempt to grab more meat.
This includes the Prince of Jin's Mansion.
Your Majesty, should we also speed up the process of opening more shops?" Du Chuke reported the current situation outside.
"Of course not, we won't die with them." Li Tai smiled slightly.
(I suddenly realized that I am old and half of my life has passed. To put it more literary, I would like to write about the first half of my life.
Living a hundred years without ambition is meaningless; having ambition is not limited by age.
Come on everyone.)
