Chapter 417 Who is the owner of this Lanji shop?
As soon as Lu Kai finished speaking, the man slammed the table with a loud bang and shouted at him, "In seven days, I will be home for the New Year. Who are you going to sell these things to?"
These things need to be transported to the capital, and there are only twenty days left before the Chinese New Year. If he delays any further, he will not be able to earn any money.
Seeing that the negotiation was going nowhere, Lu Kai said to the man calmly, "I'm sorry, we don't have the amount you want in our store. You should go to another store and have a look."
It is not easy for every businessman to make a trip. In order to prevent everyone from returning empty-handed, Lu Kai always kept in mind Shen Ruolan's instructions that business should be done with integrity. Otherwise, everyone will make a wasted trip, and who will come to buy their things next time?
The man was completely angry at Lu Kai's words. He ordered his subordinates behind him: "Come here, this store is cheating customers, smash it all."
"Yes, sir." A group of guards received the order and started smashing things in the shop.
Seeing this, Lu Kai quickly said to the waiter behind him, "Go and invite General Su."
"Yes, Manager Lu." After the young man finished speaking, he hurriedly ran towards the city gate.
A quarter of an hour later, when the clerk and General Su arrived, the things in Lu Kai's shop had been destroyed beyond recognition. He shouted loudly, "Who did this?"
As a soldier, and one who often ran out of food, General Su hated others wasting food the most.
Lu Kai quickly stepped forward and saluted General Su, saying, "I pay my respects to General Su."
After he finished speaking, he paused, pointed at the nobleman beside him, and said to General Su: "General Su, it was this nobleman who smashed our store. Please help us."
General Su looked in the direction Lu Kai pointed and saw that it was Prince Rui's brother-in-law. He frowned and asked him, "Master Ren, what are you doing here?"
Ren Huan smiled at General Su and said, "I came here to buy goods and do business."
"Since you are purchasing goods, why do you want to smash other people's shops?" General Su asked immediately.
Over the past year, Shen Ruolan has taken good care of him. Whenever there is something delicious in her village, she would send it to him and the soldiers.
Therefore, General Su had a very good impression of Shen Ruolan. Now that her shop was smashed, he naturally would not stand idly by.
Ren Huan said to General Su, "General Su, I just smashed this shop because I couldn't stand its style. What, do you have any objection?"
After saying that, he looked at him meaningfully and asked, "Or, is this shop opened by you, General Su?"
General Su's face darkened, and he said to Ren Huan expressionlessly, "Mr. Ren, please stop slandering me."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the mess on the ground and continued, "Master Ren, you'd better double the compensation for the loss of Lanji Shop today. Otherwise, I will report to the emperor about Master Ren's vandalism and oppression of the people."
After General Su finished speaking, he said to Lu Kai, "Send someone back to tell your mistress that the man who smashed her shop today is Princess Rui's second brother. Tell her to find him if she has any problems."
"Yes, thank you General Su for telling me." After Lu Kai finished speaking, he paused and said to General Su: "General Su, today's goods have been disrupted and can no longer be sold. If the general does not mind, take it back and let everyone taste it."
General Su looked at the spilled tofu, dried tofu, tofu skin, chili powder, sour chili, potatoes, etc. on the ground. He hesitated for a moment and said to Lu Kai, "Okay."
He had eaten all of these things before, and each one tasted very special. He liked them very much. Now that Lu Kai wanted to give them to him, there was naturally no reason for him to refuse.
Although it was knocked over by someone else, General Su didn't care.
After all, they would even eat grass roots when they were hungry, so they naturally wouldn't care about dirty food.
What's more, many things can be cleaned by just taking them home and washing them.
Seeing that General Su did not despise him, Lu Kai quickly had someone scoop out the clean layer of the spilled stuff and handed it to General Su's subordinates, asking them to take it away.
After General Su left, Lu Kai said to Ren Huan, "Mr. Ren, you knocked over things in our shop today. According to the rule of ten times the amount of damage, you should pay us thirty-eight thousand taels of silver today."
When Ren Huan heard that he had to pay back more than 30,000 taels of silver, he glared at Lu Kai and cursed, "More than 30,000 taels, why don't you go and rob?"
Lu Kai spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is no other way. This is my master's rule."
After saying this, worried that he might not give it, Lu Kai continued: "We already know who you are. If you don't give us the money, we will go directly to the Rui Palace to collect the money."
Anyway, the backers behind his master are very powerful, so Lu Kai is not afraid of Ren Huan at all and can be said to be very confident.
"You are simply looking for death!" When Ren Huan heard that they were going to Prince Rui's Mansion to collect debts, he instantly became furious and drew his sword to kill Lu Kai.
The subordinates around him hurriedly stopped him and said, "Sir, don't be impulsive, otherwise it will be bad if the prince blames you."
When Ren Huan heard his subordinates mention his brother-in-law, he instantly wilted. With a look of unwillingness, he took out more than 30,000 taels of silver notes and threw them in front of Lu Kai, then turned around and left angrily.
When he returned to the inn, he shouted to his subordinates, "Come here, check for me who is the owner of this Lanji shop?"
The person who dared to go to Prince Rui’s Mansion to collect debts must be an extraordinary person. This was the reason why Ren Huan endured the loss in silence.
"Yes, sir." Ren Huan's subordinates responded.
In Fuzhai, Shen Ruolan soon learned that her shop had been smashed. She was silent for a moment and told Ji Ning, "Ji Ning, go call Master Duan over."
"Yes, master." Ji Ning replied.
Soon, Duan Ye followed Ji Ning to Shen Ruolan's study. Shen Ruolan looked up and asked him, "Duan Ye, are you ready for your wedding?"
Speaking of Duan Ye's wedding, Shen Ruolan felt a little guilty, because her arrest had delayed his wedding for several months.
Duan Ye smiled and replied to Shen Ruolan: "Thank you for your concern, Village Master. Everything is almost ready."
Shen Ruolan responded to him: "Well, if you need anything, remember to tell me."
Duan Ye smiled and replied to Shen Ruolan: "Yes"
After he finished speaking, he paused and asked Shen Ruolan, "The village chief asked me to come here. Is there something wrong?"
Shen Ruolan nodded to him and said, "Well, there is indeed something I need you to do for me, but you can do it after you get married."
In one day, it would be Duan Ye's wedding ceremony. Shen Ruolan planned to send him out after his wedding.
Duan Ye heard this and asked Shen Ruolan, "What's the matter? Is it urgent?"
Shen Ruolan smiled at him and said, "I'm going to earn money, there's no rush."
To be precise, they were there to rip people off. She just hoped that the guy who smashed her shop wouldn't leave so quickly.
