Regardless of Zheng Wenruo's thoughts, he found no hope of breaking the situation. Looking at King Yong who was guarded by the guards, he suddenly wondered how what happened today happened.
Did the royal family have a plan? Impossible. If this was a trap set by the royal family, I'm afraid the imperial army would have surrounded the restaurant by now. But if it's not a royal conspiracy and just a coincidence...
Seeing the corners of Li Xian's mouth turn up, Zheng Wen suddenly made a close guess about what happened today.
It is estimated that King Yong did have something to do when he came to this restaurant.
Moreover, it is no coincidence that this place was bought by me a few days ago and was used as a gathering and discussion place for the five surnames and seven princes in Chang'an.
Finally, just in time, the conflict came together.
And this King Yong is extraordinary...
It was obviously this guy's guard who was rude first, but with his own guard kicking the palace guard out, the rightful party became King Yong. In a short period of time, the situation can be reversed and right and wrong can be reversed. From a certain perspective, this King Yong is not ordinary terrifying.
Seeing more and more people watching the excitement, Zheng Wen cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness King Yong, today it is indeed the servant of the Zheng family who offended first. As an apology, Zheng asked the prince to take over the restaurant and give him thousands of copper coins to calm his panic. , what do you think?"
Don't hide if you can't avoid it. As the head of the family, Zheng Wen can also weigh the pros and cons in a short period of time.
Compared with the unknown possibility, he would rather choose to lose money now and avoid disaster. Besides, the Zheng family’s money is not that easy to come by!
Seeing that the old man made a decision in such a short period of time, Li Xian was also surprised. If he were a normal person, he would have to quibble at this time. He didn't expect that this guy would choose to lose money and avoid disaster so quickly.
After being surprised, Li Xian still said expressionlessly: "Mr. Zheng, I advise you not to change your mind. The crime of assassinating the prince is not something that anyone can bear. Not to mention, the person who led this matter today, It’s you, the old man. Do you think that a mere amount of money can offset it?”
After listening to Li Xian's words, Zheng Wen almost couldn't help but yelled, "How much more do you want, you little brat?"
However, he didn't dare. He knew very well that if he couldn't pay a price that satisfied this little brat today, I'm afraid things would not go away.
Holding back his anger, Zheng Wen said: "In addition to the above-mentioned restaurant and the ten thousand guan, I will personally offer you a set of ancient pine and jade bells, please accept it with His Majesty's Majesty the King Yong!"
Ancient pine jade bell? What the hell? Li Xiancai was about to refuse, but Li Yong held him down.
After listening to Li Yun's whisper, Li Xiancai nodded with satisfaction. Since it was a treasure, it was worth it if it could make the five surnames and seven other family heads covet it.
Pushing away the two guards in front of him, Li Xian smiled and said: "Oh, Mr. Zheng actually wants to give me such a precious gift. Originally, a gentleman will not take away people's love, but the elder dare not refuse the gift, so I will Thank you very much, old gentleman, for your generous gift.”
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. Zheng Wen felt that a mouthful of old blood had reached his throat and would spurt out at any time. What does it mean to dare not refuse a gift from an elder? This is blackmailed by you bastard!
However, in front of everyone, Zheng Wen still swallowed a mouthful of old blood, put on a smile that was uglier than crying and said: "In that case, why don't Your Highness go to the restaurant and drink a cup of hot tea?"
Li Xian smiled and shook his head: "It's better not to, I'm still busy going home. Mr. Zheng, how about you fulfill your promise quickly?"
"Yeah, cash it in quickly."
"People from the Zheng family can't go back on their word!"
"We are all watching!"
....
The first ones to make noises were a few guys who looked like clerks in the crowd. With them taking the lead, the Chang'an people, merchants, Hu merchants, and clerks who were watching all started shouting.
Ten thousand guan!
Although the money has nothing to do with me, it would be nice to see so much money with my own eyes.
Li Xian turned around, found the source of the commotion, smiled slightly, and ignored it.
Seeing more and more people making noises, the veins on Zheng Wen's forehead popped up. He waved his sleeves and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I can afford this, so I'll send someone to get it now!"
After saying that, the old guy turned around and went back to the restaurant, closed the door, and vomited out the old blood that he had suppressed for a long time.
He doesn't care about restaurants, not to mention the Zheng family, even if he, the head of the family, personally controls the industry, he won't feel bad about a restaurant. As for ten thousand copper coins, that's nothing. Even a rich son-in-law of the Zheng family can get so much money.
What really made him heartbroken was his set of ancient pine and jade bells. Although that set of jade bells were made from different jade stones, the most precious thing was that each bell had a naturally formed ancient pine picture on it. Seen in the sunlight, the emerald-green ancient pines seem to be swaying in the wind.
The other heads of the Five Surnames and Seven Looks were all full of praise for their set of bells. The head of the Wang family in Taiyuan wanted to ring it to hear the sound, but he was reluctant to do so.
Such a treasure, who knew that it would be given away today!
Gritting his teeth, Zheng Wen raised his head and said to the anxious family: "Fulfill this promise! Now the Zheng family's face is more important than me. Give him that set of jade bells! Give him five hundred more copper coins." Pass, lest he say that we don’t have enough copper coins! As for the title deed of the restaurant, send it to him immediately!"
Seeing that the old patriarch was so angry, the two guards knelt down on the ground, their bodies shaking like a sieve.
Glancing at the guards, Zheng Wen took a deep breath and said: "Get up, it's me who asked you to throw people out. I will do my own thing when I return to Xingyang. I can't blame you."
After listening to the words of the family master, the two guards burst into tears. For such a family master, they only hated why they only had one life. Even ten lives were not enough to repay their kindness!
Zheng Wen waved his hand to the guard and tilted his head to the door. Zheng Wen's face twitched.
The guards cannot be blamed. Over the years, these two people have owed themselves too much. I am afraid that if I ask them to die immediately, they will not hesitate at all.
When I return to the clan, I am afraid that someone will be interested in the position of the clan leader. When the time comes, these two guards will still come in handy!
The shopkeeper of the restaurant acted quickly and quickly retrieved the land deed and sent it away.
After a while, two fast horses, carrying a brocade box and a long string of carriages, drove into the Western Market in a mighty manner.
The carriage was pulling copper coins. Naturally, ten thousand copper coins could not be transported by dozens of carriages. The reason for this was because they were afraid of wasting time.
The dignified Zheng family can't slow down in fulfilling its promise!
Looking at the open space in front of the restaurant, bundles of copper coins were quickly piled up, and the onlookers gasped.
Ten thousand guan is just three words, but when you really see so many copper coins, you realize how heavy these three words are!
Seeing that the Zheng family actually chose to give money, Li Yun couldn't help but walked to Li Xian and said softly: "Your Highness, have we gone too far?"
Li Xian smiled and shook his head, and said in a low voice: "It's not too much, it's not too much. Li Yun, you have to remember that if you are justified, you must be unforgiving, if you gain an inch, you must advance, if you gain Long, you must look to Shu, and if the enemy falls into a well, you must Throw stones. Since you have offended someone, don't be afraid of offending them to death. If you don't strike hard at this moment, you will be embarrassed if someone takes you back in the future and you lose everything or pay compensation."
Li Yun nodded, feeling that what His Highness said made sense.
