Chapter 1276: Feeling sorry for money
Otherwise, why do they say that ignorance is bliss?
Before the incident, Zhao Zhai was still very excited and wanted to make a "great contribution". He thought that as long as he succeeded, he would have made a great contribution to the Zhao family and surpassed Zhao Ye. His father would definitely look at him with admiration!
From now on, I will definitely value myself more.
He was very eager to make a contribution and wanted to give his father a surprise, so he didn't tell anyone beforehand.
If he told him, Zhao Mu would definitely give him two loud slaps and a scolding to make him give up such a ridiculous and dangerous idea.
Zhao Mu broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, but the prefect couldn't suppress his anger even after hearing what his advisor said again, and he sneered repeatedly.
"You should be thankful that this matter was not accomplished, otherwise, humph! You, the Zhao family, will be in jail! If I let you off easily, I won't have to care about others in the future! A fine of 300,000 silver coins, a public apology to the Shao family, and compensation of 100,000 silver coins to the Shao family, are you satisfied?"
Zhao Mu shuddered: "."
I feel so sorry for the money!
Of course he was not convinced, but his cowardly son was caught red-handed and had confessed without any spine. How could he dare not to accept it?
"The common people, the common people are convinced."
"Hmph, I'm glad to know!"
After handing over another 400,000 silver coins, Zhao Mu walked out of the prefectural government office with his feet floating and his whole body in a daze.
After all this trouble, there is no cash left in the account.
But this year I still have to spend money to buy silk, and now it’s not enough, so I have to sell my precious antiques.
Originally, he planned to keep a deposit of 100,000 and settle the account after selling the silk. This is usually how bulk business is done. No one would pay the full purchase price all at once when buying raw materials.
But now that this has happened, it’s hard to say whether the Shao family will still agree.
This rebellious son, it’s all this trouble that’s caused!
Zhao Mu returned home and scolded Qin with a sullen face.
Qin was shocked, and her subsequent reaction was to feel regret that the plan of setting fire to the mulberry garden had not been accomplished, and to feel distressed and worried that Zhao Zhai must have suffered so much after being beaten and locked up. She cried and begged Zhao Mu to quickly arrange to rescue him.
Zhao Mu was so angry that he kicked Qin to the ground and pointed at her and said angrily, "What a shameless person! You, listen to what you are saying! You ignorant fool!"
Zhao Mu was almost desperate. How could he say that a concubine is a concubine? How stupid!
He was really blind and heartless at the time. How could he regard such an idiotic and stupid woman as his confidant and be fooled by her?
Zhao Mu sneered, "That rebellious son made me pay 400,000 silver coins, and he still expects me to spend money on him? Dream on! He deserves to be in jail!"
"What, what four hundred thousand taels?" Qin was stunned.
Zhao Mu was too lazy to talk to her anymore, he just sneered and walked away.
Zhao Ye hurriedly helped Qin up, sighed, and briefly explained the whole story.
Qin screamed "Ah!" and covered her chest.
Four hundred thousand taels! Another four hundred thousand taels lost in one go! This was all her son’s money! My heart aches.
"This is too much! Too much." Qin was indignant: "The prefect is too biased and too greedy! Isn't the mulberry garden fine? Why does he want us to pay so much money? Why?"
