Fang Daxing and others left very quickly, because they were afraid that if they stayed, they would have to pay some weird fees.
In fact, their guts were filled with regret.
I regret why I came to bargain today. We have already decided to pay for it anyway. Why don’t we just pay and it’s over?
Now it's good, there is an extra two hundred and fifty thousand taels for no reason, that's two hundred and fifty thousand taels, not two hundred and fifty taels, not two thousand and five, twenty-five thousand, but two hundred and fifty thousand taels.
They are not talented people, and their family wealth is not that deep. With so much money, they were immediately emptied of it.
But the question is, is it okay if I don’t give it?
Thinking about the possible consequences, it's really impossible. At this moment, they just want to settle the matter as soon as possible. Only in this way, His Highness the Crown Prince will not notice this.
After all, the prince was busy during this period and had no time to pay attention.
But if things get serious and His Royal Highness becomes angry, it will be really hard to say.
The most important point is that the relationship between the great talent and the prince seems to be a bit unusual. They have heard about what happened yesterday, and Princess Rongrong was brought out by the other party, so...
Compared with their desire to die, Li Qinghe and other soldiers were undoubtedly excited.
Five hundred taels!
What is the concept of five hundred taels per person?
In this era, an ordinary family's annual expenses are only twenty or thirty taels. It is conceivable that five hundred taels is equal to the family income for twenty years.
This is definitely a huge sum of money for them.
And these people are just ordinary soldiers. They have made twenty years' worth of money in one fell swoop. What a concept, this isn't crazy.
Everyone was cheering, with smiles on their faces and excitement.
Duan Rongrong was also very happy, not because of the money. After all, she was the princess of Zhenbei Palace, so how could she care about this little money? In her eyes, this little money might not be more interesting than a pack of instant noodles.
She was happy that someone supported her and helped her stand up.
Her round face was slightly red, looking a little shy and sweet.
The great talent never noticed so much. To him, this was just a trivial matter and he didn't take it seriously at all.
But Li Qinghe and others didn't think so. They looked a little uneasy and asked: "Master, each person has five hundred taels. Five hundred people, that's two hundred and fifty thousand taels. Can they give me so much silver?"
Everyone looked at Lin Bai, obviously in disbelief.
No wonder, they are ordinary soldiers, how have they seen so much money! They don't even know the concept of so much money.
Lin Bai rolled his eyes at them and said, "Look at your potential, don't worry! If you don't give it, I will double it for them."
"Young Master is mighty!"
The soldiers cheered.
Li Qinghe was also very excited and a little regretful, "It seems that I was too conservative. I only paid three hundred taels for the heirloom jade pendant."
"How many?"
Lin Bai kicked him away, "Are you a fool? You only pay three hundred taels for the heirloom jade pendant? Damn it!"
Li Qinghe said naively: "The general is afraid that there will be too much and they won't give it."
Lin Bai rolled his eyes and looked at the others, "What about you?"
"I said I lost a jade belt, so I paid fifty taels for it."
"I'm even worse, I only paid twenty taels."
"..."
All the soldiers said in succession.
It is a pity that Li Qinghe has the most, and few others have more than one hundred taels.
And they all do it for fun, they don’t think they can get any money, so they just make a random report.
In fact, I really don’t blame them. After all, they are ordinary people. How can they dare to make excessive reports? For them, one hundred taels is an astronomical figure. Who would have thought...
Lin Bai was speechless and rolled his eyes. They were all a group of country bumpkins. If he hadn't added an extra sum, he wouldn't have been able to lose much money at all.
Just like that, Fang Daxing still comes to counteroffer, he deserves it!
"A bunch of country bumpkins who don't even know how to blackmail are so angry with you. If you didn't tell me earlier, I would have asked for a thousand taels from you..."
"..."
"Hey! Young Master, five hundred taels is enough. It's enough to marry several wives."
"Yes! Lao Niu, I have never seen so much money in my life, so prosperous!"
"Young Master is mighty!"
"..."
The soldiers cheered and mingled with the great talents, and the atmosphere was one of jubilation.
Ling Xiyu was also watching. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the boy in front of her was pleasing to her eyes, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
Although the talented man had saved her life in the past and was a good person in all aspects, she always felt that he was out of tune and made people feel unreliable.
But now, for some reason, I felt that it was pleasing to the eye. How long had the other party been in contact with these soldiers? One by one, they all gave up.
Moreover, this guy is obviously the king of Southwest, but he has no airs at all.
Get along with the soldiers and blackmail them.
But this guy...
Is this why her husband likes him?
Ling Xiyu suddenly felt very satisfied. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, especially when she saw her daughter beside her with a red face.
People are so wonderful. Once you change your views, all the things that were not pleasing to the eye before have now become advantages.
For example, the talented man who seemed unreliable now became approachable in her eyes.
Those previously unattractive methods have become resourceful.
Even blackmail is so upright and frank.
How could the talented man know the inner thoughts of Princess Zhenbei? It was like the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became, but he had already made an excuse to run away.
For him, blackmailing the officials in Dali was just incidental. These people were not comfortable themselves, so why not slaughter the fat sheep that were sent to them.
Although I don’t need it myself, it’s still pretty good to generate income for the soldiers!
so……
As for whether these people hold grudges and want to take revenge, I'm sorry! That will all happen in the future, and he will have already left by then.
What's more, wanting revenge is also revenge against the real Li Yunxiao, which is none of his business.
The great talent has no pressure at all.
Seeing him leave, Duan Rongrong thought for a while and then went out.
"How about it?"
In a certain ordinary and simple courtyard, when Lin Bai and Zhuiyue arrived, the Rice King was already waiting.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry. It's been done. It's just a bit smelly. Brother-in-law, are you sure?"
The Ganfanwang showed a disgusted expression.
Lin Bai glanced at the vehicle next to him. There was a large barrel on top. There were some filthy things on the edge of the barrel. He couldn't help but frown, but he still asked: "Are you sure there is no problem?"
The Ganfan King nodded and said, "I asked Uncle Shan, and it should be no problem. His nephew also occasionally replaced him before, and there was no problem."
"The key is that inside the Royal Courtyard, we don't know the layout at all. If we go wrong and are discovered, we will be in trouble."
Lin Bai made up his mind, "I can't control that much, I have to give it a try. It's okay to go explore the road first. That's it. Let's take action tonight."
