Three hundred thousand taels of silver!
Three hundred thousand taels?!
Even Xiao Dongchen, who had tempered himself for over a decade in the Governor's Office and believed he had mastered the art of composure, felt his mind reel at the figure.
But with such a massive sum of silver, it wasn't just him; even the two Governors would likely find it hard to control themselves.
However, that wasn't all.
While Xiao Dongchen was still stunned, Chen Yi unhurriedly took out a flint and struck a light.
Then, he pulled a thick stack of silver notes from his robes and held it outside the carriage.
In the faint light of the flint, he dangled it brazenly for Xiao Dongchen to see.
"As long as Lord Xiao agrees to join forces with my young master, these silver notes are all yours."
As Chen Yi spoke in a slow, deliberate manner, he gently fanned the stack of silver notes.
