Several clerks and exclusive ward maids soon ran into the corridor and helped the rich man up. But judging from the tightness on the faces and arms when several people helped him up, I guess it was very difficult.
Several heads and ears popped out from nearby wards to watch the farce.
The rich man pointed at Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao and said sternly: "Catch them, don't let them run away! I'm going to have my injuries examined. Do you dare to hit me? I will punish you to death!"
At this time, Yu Qian and several maids on duty also came and protected Bai Gu, "Master Zhu, please be patient. I think there must be some misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" The rich man known as Master Zhu sneered, "Obviously it's that little girl who doesn't have eyes when she walks, but I happened to be walking right and bumped into her with a huff. I have a witness here, don't you? I want to deny it!”
The servants and two maids from Cheung Chau Pharmacy who were following Master Zhu repeatedly echoed: "That's right, she was the one who bumped into my Master!"
"This little girl is in such a hurry that she might think she is in a hurry to reincarnate!"
"Sister Yuqian, what Master Zhu said is the truth."
Yu Qian only felt a headache, and it was not easy to smooth things over now.
This young master Zhu is a well-known scoundrel in Yunshuicheng. Together with his father, Mr. Zhu, the gangster, they are also known as the two biggest bullies in Yunshuicheng. Not only is the family rich, but the industry is almost all over the west of the city. There are also more or less industries in other places in Yunshui City. Moreover, the bastard method of cheating and cheating passed down from ancestors has been passed down from generation to generation, and each generation is getting better and better than the previous generation.
It is said that there was a restaurant in the west of the city a few years ago. Because the business was so good, it robbed the guests of the Zhu family restaurant. The Zhu family father and son hired a group of beggars and gave them some money. They went to the restaurant every day instead of going upstairs. In the private room on the first floor, there are no big dishes, just in the lobby on the first floor, four people per table, just order a plate of the cheapest peanuts and free boiled water, and stay there all day.
When the guests saw the first floor full of beggars, they lost all interest in eating and drinking, and gradually stopped coming.
Although they knew it was the Zhu family and his son who were responsible, the restaurant reported it to the government and drove away the group of beggars. But those beggars were very tough-talking and refused to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, and there was nothing they could do against the Zhu family and his son. And within a few days, they came again, and rumors spread that the restaurant was chasing customers away, and now the customers stopped coming.
The restaurant had no customers and could not make ends meet, so it closed down over time. The Zhu family and his son took the opportunity to acquire the restaurant and merged it into their own business.
Although everyone complained about the actions of the Zhu family and his son, and talked about it behind their backs, they could not find anything against the Zhu family and his son, and there was no evidence that they had done evil. Even the city lord's palace had nothing to do with the Zhu family.
If Bai Gu gets entangled with him, I can't imagine the consequences!
"Did you hear that, it was that little girl who bumped into me? You should be a member of her family, right? Don't think about running away! If she can't afford it, you'll have to pay it. If you can't afford it, let your family members pay it!" Man Man The stern-faced Young Master Zhu pointed at Bai Gu and said sternly.
"I'm her brother. I won't run away. You can pay whatever you have to pay." Bai Gu protected Bai Xiaoxiao behind him and faced Master Zhu's gaze.
The sneer on Master Zhu's face gradually turned into a ferocious smile, which was the smile after the trick was successful.
That’s what I’ve been waiting for!
"Five thousand taels of silver! If my injury is found to be more serious or there are other complications, the compensation will be increased!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.
Five thousand taels of silver?
This is not a small amount of money. Five thousand taels of silver is equivalent to the annual income of a middle-class family in Yunshui City!
Just for a collision, Master Zhu asked for five thousand taels of silver. Isn't this a lion's mouth?
Yu Qian's face suddenly darkened, "Master Zhu, you've passed."
"Passed?" Master Zhu disapproved, "I now suspect that you and these two guys are a group. You conspired to hit me, and then you wanted to take the opportunity to steal the money bag from my waist! Humph! I didn't think so. The young master's money bag was tied tightly and he couldn't steal the money, so he got angry and knocked down this young master! I tell you, you can't run away today, so you can pay for it with them!"
"You--" Yu Qian didn't expect that Young Master Zhu was so good at opening his mouth, that he could actually tell a non-existent thing in a convincing way. In anger, Yu Qian, who was originally smart, pointed at Master Zhu's face and was speechless for a moment.
Young Master Zhu jumped twice, staggered forward, knocked off Yu Qian's hand, and said viciously: "I hate it most in my life when people point their fingers at my nose and talk!"
Yu Qian wanted to say something more, but Bai Gu held her behind him, "Sister Yu Qian, let me do it."
Looking at this young man who was a head shorter than herself, Yu Qian felt inexplicably calm. She said softly: "If it doesn't work, I'll go find Mr. Wu."
Bai Gu just shook his head.
Bai Gu looked at Master Zhu, "Master Zhu, right? These five thousand taels of silver are too much, right? Can it be less? My family is in trouble and I can't afford so much silver at the same time."
In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Bai Gu said.
Although he had more than 20,000 taels of gold notes on him, they were large-denomination notes. Two were worth 10,000 taels of gold, one was worth 5,000 taels of gold, four were worth one thousand taels of gold, and nine were worth one hundred taels of gold. As for the silver, he originally exchanged it for one hundred taels of gold, which was ten thousand taels of silver. But due to Bai Gu's own expenses these days, and because he wants to buy a house in Yunshui City, he needs to pay a deposit and deposit. So much so that he now only had a little over 4,000 taels of silver left in his body. If he wanted to collect 5,000 taels of silver, he would need some time to go to the bank to exchange it, but he would not be able to get the 5,000 taels at once.
Master Zhu waved his hand, "I have nothing to do with this. Anyway, if you can't come up with the five thousand taels of silver today, there's no way you can get out of here!"
Bai Gu frowned slightly, "This is Changzhou Pharmacy, Mr. Wu's territory, you are not allowed to mess around!"
"It doesn't matter. At worst, I will be waiting at the door." Master Zhu said with a nonchalant expression.
Yu Qian's face turned ugly, and she whispered: "The Zhu family has opened a new pharmacy on Sweeping Snow Street. They are here to cause trouble today, most likely because they are here to disgust our pharmacy!"
Bai Gu nodded.
If he doesn't handle this matter today, the Zhu family will definitely send people to block the door of Changzhou Pharmacy. On the surface, he wanted to block the entrance to catch himself, but in fact, he just wanted to disgust Cheung Chau Pharmacy and influence the customers. When they are held accountable, the Zhu family will bring the conflict to themselves, and then they will be fighting against the two forces alone.
He can not only cause trouble and disgust Cheung Chau Pharmacy, divert traffic to his own pharmacy, but also blackmail a sum of money, and he can also completely wipe himself out.
What a plan to kill three birds with one stone!
No wonder he is a rogue known throughout the city.
Bai Gu had long heard about the "glorious" deeds of the Zhu family, and also knew about Young Master Zhu's character. When he saw him today, it turned out to be true.
"Master Zhu can go get his injuries checked first. I'll stay here and won't run away. If you're worried, you can send someone here to watch us. It won't be too late for us to talk about compensation when you come back from your injuries."
"It would be better to just take the money and clear it. Don't waste time. My time is precious!" Master Zhu was a little tired from standing on his left foot. He changed his stance slightly, and the flesh on his face was flushed. Ripples.
Bai Gu smiled and said: "Without an injury examination, how can we know the extent of Master Zhu's injury? And how can we make accurate compensation? I'm just afraid that one of us will suffer a loss, especially Master Zhu."
"Hmph, I guess you can talk. Okay, I'm going to have my injuries examined right now. You'd better stay here obediently, otherwise, I'll come to Cheung Chau Pharmacy and wait for you every day from now on!" Master Zhu threatened.
"Don't worry, Master Zhu. I promise to stay here to make compensation, and I won't run around."
"That's pretty much it!"
Master Zhu turned around and muttered with disdain, but Bai Guqing still heard it clearly.
"Two bastards who have a father but no mother, dare to attack this young master? Damn you!"
Bai Gu's originally peaceful heart seemed to have been lifted open, revealing emotions that had been hidden for an unknown amount of time.
He suddenly stopped Master Zhu, "Wait a minute, Master Zhu, I still have something to deal with."
Master Zhu turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
Bai Gu pulled Bai Xiaoxiao in front of him and said, "Apologise to Master Zhu."
Everyone was confused, even Master Zhu looked at Bai Gu in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine he bought in the gourd.
Yu Qian quickly grabbed Bai Gu, "What are you doing?"
Bai Gu didn't answer, but just shook off Yu Qian's hand, "Xiao Xiao, you knocked down Master Zhu. It was your fault first. You must apologize."
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Gu with tears in his eyes, his face full of stubbornness, "Brother, I'm right, I won't apologize!"
"I said apologize!" Bai Gu suddenly shouted loudly, "If you know you made a mistake, you must correct it, and if you make a mistake, you must apologize. Have I told you this? Have you forgotten it?"
"I didn't forget..." Bai Xiaoxiao lowered his head and whispered.
"Then apologize!" Bai Gu's lips trembled, but he still couldn't say the last half of the cruel words.
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and she was unwilling to do so, but she had to listen to Bai Gu's words, so she had to hold back her tears and cry, "Master Zhu, it was my fault. I didn't look at the road when I was walking, and I knocked you down. I'm sorry."
"The voice is too low, please speak louder!" Bai Gu yelled.
"Master Zhu, I'm sorry!" Bai Xiaoxiao shouted loudly, and then he couldn't hold back anymore, tears burst into his eyes.
Seeing this, Master Zhu put on his arrogant and domineering look again, waved his hand and said: "Okay, since your brother has promised to compensate, your apology is unnecessary. But your brother and you are so thoughtful, There is a large amount of that copy, Young Master, so just accept it reluctantly."
Bai Gu endured Master Zhu's disgusting words, pulled Bai Xiaoxiao back behind him with slightly trembling hands, and put on a faint smile, "Master Zhu, there is one more thing that requires your cooperation."
Master Zhu was in a good mood and waved his hand, "Let's talk about it."
"It's also an apology, but it's you who is apologizing to me and my sister! Kneel down and apologize!"
As soon as Bai Gu said this, everyone was shocked.
