Although the Shen family is wealthy, to be honest, this is the first time that Shen Wan has made so much money with his own hands.
Looking at the banknote in his hand, Shen Wan laughed so hard that his mouth split.
"Sir, I was really worried about you yesterday. I was afraid that I wouldn't get my money back, so I gave away the money I brought! I didn't sleep well all night!"
"Third Young Master, let me tell you that the magpies chirping outside the window this morning turned out to be your fault!"
…
Listening to the compliments from his servants, Shen Wan felt very proud.
He casually took out ten taels of silver from his arms and threw it to one of them: "Go away, you are just sweet-talking. I know what you are thinking. After dinner, you can go to the brothel and play!"
The eyes of the two servants lit up, and they smiled when they looked at the ingot of silver.
Servants are not allowed to dine at the same table as Shen Wan, but of course Zhou Xu, the great hero today, does not have to abide by this rule.
"Brother Zhou, eat the food, eat the food. If it hadn't been for you today, the last scene would have been really hanging in the balance!" Shen Wan took a bite of the vegetable and put it into Zhou Xu's bowl.
Zhou Xu quickly stood up and cupped his hands: "Third Young Master, you are ruining my life!"
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter!" Shen Wan said with a smile, "You helped me win money, of course I want to thank you!"
Speaking of this, he said to Zhou Xu: "I'll give them ten taels of silver to these servants. Brother Zhou, how much do you want?"
Zhou Xu said quickly: "Third Young Master, it is a great blessing for me to be able to worship under the Third Young Master. How can I ask for money?"
Shen Wan was actually hesitating about how much money to give to Zhou Xu. He was a little reluctant to give it too much.
If you give it, it will appear that you are not generous.
Upon hearing Zhou Xu's words, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "How can this be done? Merit will be rewarded with merit. I still know this principle."
Zhou Xu wondered: "In that case, Master, reward me with twenty taels of silver!"
"Twenty taels?" Shen Wan looked at Zhou Xu in disbelief, and then felt moved in his heart and said, "Okay, Brother Zhou, I won't be polite to you. The county magistrate I mentioned last time, we will do it when we get back!"
Zhou Xu smiled and said: "That's great. In the future, Zhou Xu will have to rely on the Third Young Master for support!"
"That's right!" Zhou Xu suddenly said, "We're just enjoying ourselves. Young Master, the purple-robed marshal hasn't eaten yet!"
When Shen Wan heard this, he thought, yes, this money-spinner hasn't eaten yet, why did he forget about it?
He beat his head and said: "Look at me, I have forgotten such a big thing. Let's go, let's go back!"
Zhou Xu looked at the sky outside the restaurant and said, "Sir, it's still early, you eat first, and I'll go back and feed the purple-robed marshal first!"
When Shen Wan heard this, she was still a little worried about Zhou Xu leaving with the purple-robed marshal.
But through these days of observation, he found that Zhou Xu was indeed devoted to him and should not be able to do such a thing.
Besides, he had already earned so much money from the purple-robed marshal. After taking away the bug, the banknote was still with him. He was not at a loss anyway, so he might as well choose to trust Zhou Xu.
So he pretended to be generous and said: "Okay, okay, you go back first, and I will ask the restaurant to bring you some food and drinks back in a while..."
…
It was getting dark.
Shen Wan was also full of wine and food, and walked out of the restaurant humming a little tune.
As soon as they went out, the coachman said: "Third Young Master, Liao'er and the others are still playing. Would you like me to go and call them over?"
"Don't they have legs? When they have enough fun, they will come back! Come on, let's go back and see the purple-robed marshal first!" After saying that, Shen Wan, who had drank, staggered onto the carriage.
It was almost dark by this time, and there were very few pedestrians on the road because of the upcoming curfew.
The only people coming and going were archers from the Suzhou government and Wuxian county government patrolling the streets.
After drinking, Shen Wan was swaying in the carriage and almost fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, the carriage suddenly stopped.
He was half drunk and asked: "What's going on? Why did you stop?"
At this moment, the car curtain was suddenly lifted open, revealing two big men with their heads covered.
Before Shen Wan could say anything, a wooden stick had been knocked down on the head. Shen Wan immediately had a splitting headache. A stream of warm liquid flowed from his forehead to his eyelids, and then dripped on his clothes.
He subconsciously wanted to see what the liquid on his clothes was, but unexpectedly, he was hit hard on the head again.
This stick knocked him unconscious, and he heard the two masked men say in a daze: "Looks like a rich man, search carefully."
Upon hearing this, he completely lost consciousness and passed out in the carriage.
The moment Shen Wan was knocked unconscious, the three people standing deep in the alley saw the whole scene.
One of them said: "Sir, it seems we don't need to take action anymore!"
The man smiled and said: "We came here just in case. Since everything is expected, let's leave quickly to avoid encountering him and making a mess!"
"Okay!"
…
Early the next morning, when Shen Wan woke up from a coma, he found that his head was exploding and the pain was severe.
"Third Young Master!"
"Third Young Master, wake up!"
Two crying servants gathered around his bedside.
"Liu'er, Kui'er, where is the thief?"
Li'er wiped away her tears and said: "Sir, when I returned to the inn this morning, I found that you were not there, so Kui'er and I hurriedly looked for it. Finally, I heard that the archers from Wu County found a carriage on the street last night, and the driver and the people in the carriage were All the people were beaten and taken to the county government office!"
"Yes, Young Master, we rushed over and discovered that it was really you..."
Shen Wan endured the pain in his head that was about to explode and said, "Where is Zhou Xu?"
Li'er and Kui'er cursed: "He's gone!"
"I've seen it a long time ago, he's not a good person!"
"That's right, he might have colluded with the thief!"
Shen Wan's head hurt even more, and he panicked in his heart: "Marshal in Purple Robe!"
"Gone!"
When Shen Wan heard the news, his heart was broken, his head tilted, and he fainted again.
Li'er and Kui'er pinched her and wiped her chest, finally waking up Shen Wan.
Shen Wan said weakly: "Look at the banknote in my arms!"
Li'er stretched out his hand and touched it, and replied with a mournful face: "Master, it's gone, it's all gone, even the scattered silver has been taken away by the idiot!"
When Shen Wan heard this, he almost couldn't breathe and was so angry.
After a while, he held the bedding in his hands and said with a hateful expression: "Zhou Xu, if you are caught by me, I will beat your muscles and skin you!"
Li'er said: "Master, what should we do now?"
Shen Wan hammered the bed board and cursed: "Idiots, leave one of you to deal with the government, and the other will send me back to Songjiang!"
Kui'er said: "Master, go back to Songjiang? Should we just forget it?"
Shen Wan smiled evilly and said: "Forget it? Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will still find the people who plotted against me. I want them to die, all of them..."
