Almost everyone in the alley had left.
A shabby carriage came out.
Prince Ding stroked the head of an eagle and said, "Tian Kuo has changed a lot."
The emperor snorted coldly: "Humph, you are becoming more and more deceiving!"
The emperor felt sad when he thought about the medicinal materials that had been emptied out of the Imperial Medical Bureau's pharmacy, and the only two mansions he had that had been taken away by him.
As soon as that brat comes back, he will either scrape all his grease off or disrupt his plans. It will be troublesome if Zhao sends troops now!
Thinking of something, the emperor asked again: "How much did you bet at Qian's gambling house this time?"
Prince Ding smiled when he heard this: "A total of one hundred thousand taels!"
Prince Ding thought of something and said, "As far as I know, Tian Kuo also found ten people to go, and they bet a total of 100,000 taels!"
"One thousand for one?"
One hundred thousand taels, one thousand for every one!
Not bad!
The Zhao State’s treasury is not enough to compensate for the deficit this time!
Think about it, their Chu State treasury now has more than 30 million taels of silver in reserve.
The Zhao State is richer than the Chu State because of its open sea areas, but it is estimated to be only 70 or 80 million taels, which is the maximum!
However, it is impossible to expect Zhao to compensate all the silver in one go.
Prince Ding nodded, "That's right! Unfortunately, the Qian family bank has a rule that the highest bet is a 1,000-to-1 bet, and each person can only buy 10,000 taels! After reaching 200,000 taels, they will stop buying. Otherwise, we can buy more and we won't have to work for the rest of our lives!"
The gambling house has this rule because they are worried that the buyers may not be able to afford the compensation, or that in some unexpected situation the gambling house may not be able to compensate either, so gambling houses in all countries have this rule.
However, over the years, no one from the four countries dared to bet 10,000 taels on a game where the odds were 1 to 1,000 taels!
Qian’s Casino broke the record today!
The emperor was already satisfied: "Go get the silver as soon as possible, and then we will transfer more silver over there so that they can prepare more supplies."
"Yes. I will write a letter and let the little eagle pass it on." Prince Ding touched the eagle's head.
It just so happened that he was going to the palace to ask his brother to find Xiaoying.
The carriage went to Prince Ding's Mansion. The emperor was leaving the palace secretly, so he had to go to Prince Ding's Mansion to change a carriage and return to the palace with Prince Ding.
The emperor is annoyed when he thinks about having to go back to the palace soon!
I guess there are already a lot of people waiting to see him!
The Princess of Zhao was captured by the Crown Prince. This is a big deal!
A big event that will blow your mind!
The incident in which the Prime Minister's son was almost beaten to death this morning has not been resolved yet.

Xingnong went to the fighting arena to collect the reward for breaking through the three major formations, a total of 1,657,000 taels.
She did not take the remaining few hundred taels, and used it to invite those who would participate in today's battle to break through the formation.
Xing Nong took out silver notes. The silver accumulated by the three formations over the years was exchanged for silver notes for the convenience of keeping the people in the fighting field.
Each silver note had a face value of 10,000 taels, and she took all the silver notes from Qian's Bank.
More than one million taels of silver is equivalent to the annual fiscal revenue of Futai County, and even more than the annual fiscal revenue of some small counties. It is definitely a huge sum of money!
Xingnong held a wooden box and got into a plain carriage waiting outside.
The one driving is Shen Nan.
In the carriage, Chu Tiankuo had changed back into purple clothes and was sitting upright inside.
Xing Nong placed the box on the table, and said in a slightly excited tone: "Are we going to Qian's Bank now?"
Chu Tiankuo nodded: "Well, it just so happens that everyone knows about this amount of money, so take it out first."
He has already made arrangements that starting from today, people will come to Qian's money houses in various places to withdraw cash every day, more or less.
Emptying the Qian family bank starts today!
The carriage stopped outside Qian's Bank.
Xingnong put on a veil and Chu Tiankuo put on a mask, and the two walked in.
When Qian's Bank saw a pair of people in purple walking in, they knew what was going on!
As soon as the bell rang today, everyone knew that someone had broken the three major formations in half an incense stick of time!
Xing Nong opened a box of silver bills and placed it in front of the bank's owner: "I want to withdraw cash, a total of 1,657,000 taels, please prepare it. We will load it on the truck right away."
The bank owner looked at the ten thousand tael notes and his eyelids twitched: "All?"
Xing Nong nodded, "All of them."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Miss, one million six hundred and fifty-seven thousand taels is not a small sum. It would be troublesome to take out so much silver and transport it home, and it would also be targeted by thieves. Why don't you take as much as you need? Our Qian's bank is open in all the cities of the four countries. When you need silver, you can withdraw it anytime and anywhere!"
"No need, I like to sleep on silver. Please prepare it for me, boss!"
The shopkeeper wanted to say something else, "Girl, look, there is so much silver, we..."
Xing Nong stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Could it be that your bank doesn't even have this much money? This money was originally deposited with real gold and silver! Where did you take the money that everyone deposited?"
At this time, another customer came in. When he heard Xing Nong's words, his face changed: "The bank has no money?"
"That's not true!" The shopkeeper's face changed when he heard this. If this word got out, it would be disastrous!
By then, many customers will come to the money shop with silver notes to exchange them for silver, which will be troublesome!
After all, the money in the money shop is lent out to earn interest!
It can’t be recovered in a day or half a day.
He thought about the fact that the silver and gold in the bank now totaled nearly two million taels, so he smiled and said, "Young lady, you are joking! Qian's bank has branches all over the four countries and protects the wealth of the people of the world. How could it be impossible for them to not be able to take out such a small amount of silver?! I'll go and have someone prepare it now!"
After the shopkeeper turned around and walked away, his face sank!
He came to the backyard and found a man with an ordinary face who would be forgotten at a glance in the crowd. He said a few words to him and then asked him to pack the silver!
Not long after, a plain carriage drove out from the back alley of the bank and left, followed by another one every quarter of an hour or so.
Horse-drawn carriages came and went in the back alleys.
There were so many horse-drawn carriages in the capital that no one noticed.
These ordinary, common carriages would not attract people's attention.
It wasn't until it was dark that the alley became quiet!
In the storeroom of a magnificent mansion.
Xing Nong looked at the money boxes in the room with curved eyes: "This is what it feels like to become rich overnight!"
Chu Tiankuo laughed softly: "Don't worry, you will become richer day by day."
"Thank you for your kind words!" Xing Nong thought about it and put all the money boxes into the spirit bead.

In the dark, a man in black watched all the carriages enter the mansion before he left and returned to Qian's Bank.
"How is it? Where was the silver sent?" asked Manager Qian.
"No. 1, Ronghua Street, Hanyuan."
Shopkeeper Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Are you sure?"
"I watched with my own eyes. Every carriage went into the mansion. Every box of silver was carried into the mansion's storehouse."
Shopkeeper Qian frowned. That’s not going to be easy!
As far as he knew, the mansion belonged to a merchant from the State of Jin.
I heard it’s a big deal!
It is definitely related to the royal family.
However, this also shows that the one who broke the formation today was not the formation master from Chu.
Did the Crown Prince of Chu know that the other party was from Jin, so he dared to lock up their princess
Is he trying to take this opportunity to establish good relations with the State of Jin
After all, a formation master who is so powerful at such a young age will be highly valued no matter which country he is in!
No, this matter must be notified to the master as soon as possible.
If Chu and Jin take the opportunity to unite, we will be in trouble!
