Ye Zhiying looked disappointed at this moment, "No way? Just a copper plate? I thought they would really give me more than 10 million taels of gold. Your royal family's reward is too high..."
Liu Shengsheng smiled and said: "If you think about it with your head, you should know where there will be more than 10 million taels of pure gold for you? Then the treasury must be moved to your Wu clan, right?"
Ye Zhiying pouted, "But all of you have been telling me from the beginning that as long as I help you get rid of the poison, there will be ten million taels of gold. How do I know that these more than ten million taels? There is so much moisture..."
"That is indeed what they said. The reward they posted does say that the reward is ten million taels, and there is indeed gold in it, but that does not mean that they will actually give you ten million taels of pure gold. First of all, Most of the gold in Fengqing Country refers to copper, especially those given as rewards, which contain a lot of moisture.
When the emperor caught the assassin, he offered a reward of tens of millions of taels of gold. In the end, the man only got a copper plate with "bounty of tens of millions" engraved on it. Then, the person who received the reward would take the copper plate to the treasury to cash it in, and finally got it. is the real reward. "
After a pause, Liu Shengsheng continued: "Initially, when I discussed with an old doctor about offering a reward, we only offered one hundred thousand taels of gold."
"This kind of bounty posted by our pharmacy is likely to be real gold. As you know, the reward that later increased to ten million taels was posted by the royal family. Although the reward will be more than one hundred thousand taels of gold, But there are far less than you think, so it is unlikely that they will fill the entire mansion..."
After listening to Liu Shengsheng's explanation, Ye Zhiying felt like a deflated balloon: "You officials are really weird. You can talk so fluently, but you don't have so much, but you can say so much."
Liu Shengsheng smiled and said, "The royal family said that the bounty would be ten million taels. Not only does it show their generosity, it also sounds nice. It is indeed a large amount of money, but it is far less than you think. This This is something that is tacitly understood by the Chinese people, but I didn’t expect that you wouldn’t know about it.”
Ye Zhiying pouted, "In other words, most of the rewards from the royal family are just medals?"
"You can say that."
"Okay, it's all fun for nothing..."
Liu Shengsheng smiled and said, "But the royal medal is already very valuable. And then again, in our Fengqing country, copper seems to be more valuable than gold. In fact, you still made money."
"..."
Ye Zhiying lay weakly on the table and said with some melancholy: "I thought I would see mountains of gold, but it turned out to be like this. I am so happy for nothing."
After a pause, she added: "Well, maybe the world outside the tribe is like this. When I was a child, my grandmother told me that people from outside the tribe are very good at lying and have a lot of vanity. They say a lot of things just to save face. It sounded so good, I didn’t believe it at the time, but now it seems that it’s all true.”
"During the time I left the Wu Clan, I deeply realized how important money is. With only five taels of silver, I couldn't hold on for even ten days, so I had to eat steamed buns every day. Later, I relied on Gu magic to make mysteries and deceive people. Xiao Erliang can barely survive a month."
"I felt that the consumption in the outside world was so high. Maybe if I were given a hundred thousand taels, I would only be able to live happily for a few years. But how big a concept is ten million taels? I didn't even dare to think about it at first. Yes, but you allowed me to dare to dream, and I had sweet dreams for several days in a row, alas..."
"But you are right. Even if there is not so much gold, the royal reward will not be much less. Forget it, the most important thing in my heart is revenge."
"And if you can really recover your memory, it doesn't matter if I don't ask for money, because now I regard you as a friend."
"..."
After talking for a long time without getting a response, Ye Zhiying sat up again, but Liu Shengsheng had already fallen asleep leaning on the chair.
Her eyelids twitched, "I can fall asleep here..."
It's really a bit remarkable.
After helping Liu Shengsheng lie back on the bed, Ye Zhiying quietly returned to the next room.
next day
.
Ye Zhiying was woken up as soon as the genius showed up.
The group of people from the patriarch's mansion came to the door again.
This time the great elder woke up and walked out in person.
And Ye Zhiying followed the great elder without any fear on her face.
"Ye Zhiying! What on earth did you do to me?"
As soon as she reached the gate, she heard Ye Qian's hysterical cursing.
"You are such a vicious woman. You came here in the middle of the night to poison me and beat my face like this. You are simply going too far!"
Before Ye Zhiying could speak, Ming Zhuer also said fiercely: "Hurry up and hand over the antidote! You were the one who gave yesterday's poison, right? I now seriously suspect that you have learned some evil tricks outside. The next time you come back, you will take revenge on us!"
Followed by Ye Ganshi's helpless voice, "Xiao Ying, I know you have hatred in your heart, but that's enough. How has the Patriarch's Mansion been scolded now? Doesn't this relieve your anger? What if there was a sneak attack last night? It's really you who's in trouble, so you'd better hand over the antidote as soon as possible. Look at Xiaoqian's face. Now she has to cover her face when she goes out..."
"Stop, stop, stop, each of you is going on and on, right? You are saying that I was the poisoner without any basis. Do you have any evidence?"
Ye Zhiying was really impatient.
She looked at the Great Elder on the side and said: "First Elder, it is completely unreasonable for them to come to the door this time. Firstly, there is no evidence. Secondly, with so many people coming to the door so early in the morning, it is really not big or small. It is really They don’t respect you at all. In my opinion, it’s better to find someone to kick them out!”
"Sakura, what are you talking about?"
Ye Ganshi spoke coldly.
After saying that, he looked at the Great Elder and said, "I'm very sorry for disturbing the Great Elder again, but this is our family matter. Please give the Great Elder..."
"This is not a family matter. I am no longer your family!"
Ye Zhiying interrupted him directly.
Ye Ganshi took a deep breath, "Xiaoying, are you talking so aggressively now?"
Ye Zhiying was about to speak, but the elder interrupted at this moment, "Have you had enough arguing?"
As soon as he spoke, the people around him fell silent instantly.
Just listen to the great elder saying slowly: "I didn't go out to help you deal with the messy housework. I promised you before that I would help someone check whether he has been poisoned. Since everyone is here today, let me bring that person up." Bar."
Ye Ganshi said earnestly: "Elder, that matter is not particularly important. Now Xiaoqian is completely disfigured. The important thing is to find out yesterday's assassin first..."
The Great Elder frowned, "According to your opinion, do you think the assassin is by my side?"
Ye Ganshi slowly looked at Ye Zhiying without speaking.
The great elder sneered, "It seems that the patriarch is too busy on weekdays, and his memory has faded away. Your daughter has not known martial arts since she was a child. Firstly, she has no internal strength, and secondly, she does not have much ability. In this way, it is impossible for her to be magical. She went back to look for you without knowing it, or even poisoned her. She is your daughter, so you don’t know whether she can use poison, right?"
After a pause, he added: "In addition, since you are like enemies now, if she really has a chance to sneak up on you, I think she will not leave your lives. In the end, you have no evidence, right? All assumptions None of it can be established, and there is no evidence at all, so if you come here to arrest someone, I’m afraid it’s you who deserve to be arrested, and it’s you who made the big noise, right?”
