Chapter 120: A small profit, a girl's favor, a promise of marriage
"I won't dare anymore... I won't dare anymore, I won't dare to do it again..." Zhao Fan's lips were swollen as if he had been stung by a bee.
"Don't you dare? Are you going to give in? Isn't your father the Minister of Personnel in charge of personnel transfers? You're his legitimate son, how awesome! You can send me to jail with just a few words. I'm so scared!"
Shen Li felt uncomfortable all over when she thought about how this fat pig was trying to touch her just now. She raised her fist and punched him in the nose again.
"No... I won't dare anymore. Please, sir, please spare my life, my dear father! Just treat it as a fart. I promise to behave myself from now on and never cause any more trouble."
"When you farted, you stung me! You gave me a headache and made me nauseous. How do you think we're going to settle this?"
Shen Li wanted Zhao Fan to pay compensation, but she didn't say it directly, and wanted Zhao Fan to say it himself.
"I...I apologize to you. I kowtow to you. Is that okay?"
Shen Li glared at him, "You disgusted me, and you just apologize and kowtow and forget it? Who are you trying to fool?"
Zhao Fan heard the hidden meaning in Shen Li's words: It turns out that he wants some practical compensation!
He spoke hurriedly.
"I am willing to pay you money to compensate you."
As long as this hero is willing to let him go, he will have plenty of money.
His father is the Minister of Personnel!
Those small officials below, if they want to get a good job, they all have to please their father.
Hearing Zhao Fan finally talking about the silver, Shen Li smiled secretly.
"How much silver?"
Zhao Fan asked, "How about one hundred taels of silver?"
"One hundred taels of silver? You're just giving alms to a beggar!" Shen Li said dissatisfiedly, "Is my reputation worth one hundred taels of silver?"
"Five hundred taels...five hundred taels of silver?" Zhao Fan asked tentatively.
Although his father made money quickly, his annual salary was only four hundred taels of silver. He said five hundred taels of silver was enough.
Shen Li extended his index finger.
"One thousand taels?" Zhao Fan was stunned. This damned man was asking for too much, actually daring to extort one thousand taels of silver from him!
Shen Li nodded and said quietly, "My time is very precious. You, a stinking bug, have delayed me for half an hour. You should know that with my ability, I can easily earn 1,800 taels of silver in this half hour! So, this 1,800 taels is your compensation for my time loss.
The remaining five hundred taels are for the cost of appeasing this young master and his men from nausea and vomiting, as well as for us to buy supplements."
"The total compensation is 1,500 taels of silver?"
Zhao Fan was confused.
"Okay, okay, fifteen hundred taels is fifteen hundred taels. Xiaoshan, go get the banknotes!"
How many beautiful ladies can he buy with these 1,500 taels of silver? He will never rob a woman on the street again. If he meets such a man again, he will lose both the wife and the army.
Shen Li shook his head.
"not enough!"
"Isn't it enough?" Zhao Fan was really angry now.
This is because he is easy to talk to, so it will never end, right?
He bit his lower lip and lifted his foot hard.
But the soles of his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground, not moving at all.
He tried to lift his arms again, but to no avail.
Zhao Fan admitted it.
In short, no matter how much money he pays today, he has to leave, otherwise he will be beaten in the next second.
He has been most afraid of pain since he was a child.
His father had never beaten him so severely in his life.
"Sir, please tell me exactly how much silver you want. Stop playing tricks on me. I feel like my legs are going to break."
Shen Li pointed at the father and daughter in the pancake stall and said, "You scared the little girl like that, beat her father until his head was bleeding, and turned his shop upside down. Don't you have to compensate them?"
Zhao Fan said, "Compensation, compensation, compensation. I must compensate you. How much do you think is appropriate?"
Shen Li curled his lips and said, "Two thousand taels of silver!"
"Okay, Xiaoshan, give me the banknote."
When the servant heard the order, he covered his chest and ran to the carriage.
Soon, he ran over with a stack of banknotes.
"Sir, here are the banknotes. They are worth three thousand five hundred taels."
Shen Li snatched the banknote from his hand.
After counting, there were exactly thirty-five silver notes, each worth one hundred taels.
Shen Li thought to himself: This Minister of Personnel is really rich! He even let his son take several thousand taels of silver to the carriage as pocket money. It seems that this is just a drop in the bucket of his embezzled money.
In any case, she made a small profit today.
Shen Li couldn't stop smiling as he held the banknote.
"Hero, can you let me go now?" Zhao Fan asked tentatively.
Shen Li ignored him, counted out fifteen hundred-liang silver notes and handed them to Qingluan, asking her to keep them. Then he went to the pancake stall and handed the remaining twenty silver notes to the little girl.
"Here, get out of here and start your life over somewhere safe."
Shen Li knew that if she didn't let the father and daughter leave quickly, then as soon as she left, Zhao Fan would definitely come back to ask for the banknotes back, and might even do something even more violent.
"This...this is too much."
The little girl didn't dare to take it.
Her father had run a pancake shop for more than ten years but never made even one percent of that money.
How dare she take so much silver?
Shen Li stuffed the bill into her hand.
"Hurry up, take the silver and run away. Don't take anything here, including everything at home. These two thousand taels of silver alone are enough for you and your daughter to live for a lifetime!"
The little girl burst into tears again in an instant.
She knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, I will not leave. I am willing to give myself to you to repay you for saving my life."
boom!
What did this little girl say?
Promise yourself?
"Impossible! How is this possible!" Shen Li shook his head.
Qingluan and Qingzhi covered their mouths and laughed when they heard this.
"Why is it impossible? Do you dislike me?" The little girl took Shen Li's sleeve and said, "If you don't want my body, I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse..."
"Absolutely not." Shen Li paused and said, "To be honest, I'm married. My wife keeps a close eye on me and doesn't allow me to have any contact with other women. Look, she even arranged two servants to monitor me~"
Shen Li pointed at the blue phoenix and blue pheasant.
Qingluan and Qingzhi immediately became serious and walked over and said, "Young lady, we really can't take you in. My wife is too domineering. Apart from her, there is no other female in the family."
The little girl then let go of her hand awkwardly.
"No matter what happened today, thank you, sir."
Shen Li used his mind to take out a bottle of ointment for treating bruises and bruises and relieving pain from the space and handed it to the old man.
"Apply this to the swollen area and it will heal quickly."
"Thank you, sir." The old man thanked him gratefully.
"Okay, hurry up and leave. Make sure you leave the city before noon."
"Okay, then we'll be leaving first. Goodbye, sir."
The father and daughter bought a carriage from the carriage shop next door and headed straight for the city gate.
Zhao Fan was getting impatient waiting.
The money has been compensated, why don’t you let him go immediately?
Although he was furious inside, he still looked respectful: "Hero, when will you let me go? My legs are about to break from standing here."
