Chapter 171 Hire You to Work
But since the Third Prince had already spoken, Zhao Shi was too embarrassed to refuse. After all, her future wealth and glory depended on him.
The problem was that there was too much rubble, and the carts from Yaowang Valley were destroyed in the fire. Even the guards could only carry it out bit by bit with a shoulder pole.
Looking at the rubble on the ground, Zhao suddenly turned her eyes and smiled at the prisoners: "It's not good for us to disturb the old valley master here, why don't we all help clean up this place together."
There are more than a hundred fugitives here. If they can help, the process will be very fast.
Upon hearing this, the old valley master immediately shook his head.
"Look at what you said. How can we bother this old man if everyone is in the yard?" He smiled while drinking sour plum soup. "It's okay. Everyone can eat and drink as they please, just like at home."
"Hey, Harley Quinn, give me one of the fruits in your hand."
After hearing this, Shen Wan threw the biggest and reddest one over.
The old valley master took it and took a big bite.
Wanting to use him as a gun, the old valley master said that this was absolutely impossible because he was not stupid!
Seeing this, Zhao was so angry that she almost fainted.
"Mom, I don't want to go to work!" Dabao saw this and sat on the ground crying loudly, "I want to eat fruit and drink sour plum soup!"
Listening to Dabao's shrill cry, Zhao's heart almost broke.
The journey of exile was extremely hard and difficult, and the only motivation that kept her alive was her son.
Not to mention working, she couldn't even bear to get bumped or dented.
"Then you just sit here and don't go anywhere." Zhao thought for a moment and said, "I'll come find you when I finish my work."
Even if he doesn't have to work, Dabao is not happy.
Why do Erbao and Da Niu have delicious food, but I don’t?
Zhao didn't pay attention to what Dabao was thinking, and went to work reluctantly.
While Lingshu went to the river to wash her hands, the third prince finally found an opportunity to approach her.
So what if Xie Mubai has Chen Wan? Once he takes the old valley master's only disciple as his concubine, won't the entire Medicine King Valley belong to him?
Thinking of this, he immediately forced out what he thought was the brightest smile.
Seeing the Third Prince approaching with his handsome face, Lingshu, the unromantic girl, immediately turned her face and said, "Why are you staring at me? Hurry up and get to work!"
"If this house isn't built in seven days, I'll go to the capital and file a complaint with the emperor, accusing you of bullying others with your power!"
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince's thoughts about Lingshu immediately disappeared.
If I really take this girl as my concubine, I will be so angry that I will die soon!
Time seemed to pass very slowly, and just after the Third Prince thought several centuries had passed, the sky finally darkened.
Hu Dahai and others lit a bonfire in the yard, and Chen Wan took out a large piece of pickled wolf meat from the space.
So the convicts gathered around the campfire, chatting and roasting meat.
Soon, the tempting aroma spread in the slightly cool air.
"Who else wants barbecue?" Shen Wan gave some of the barbecued meat to Xie Mubai and looked up to ask.
When the old valley master heard this, he immediately raised his hand.
"Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat!" Ling Shu saw him and slapped his big hand. "We haven't even cured Sister Wan'er's poison yet, and you still have the nerve to eat?"
The old valley master disagreed: "Only when I am full can I have the energy to study."
“Then eat more!” Shen Wan heard this and handed over a few skewers with a smile.
The old valley master took the barbecue and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.
The third prince was tired and hungry, and had given up his job long ago.
He sat lazily under the tree, his eyes fixed on Shen Wan's bright smiling face.
Could she be the child of destiny?
If so, then this girl must not be kept any longer.
Seeing that the Third Prince was staring at the group of prisoners eating barbecue, the guards misunderstood.
"Master, please have something to eat." A guard handed over a bowl of freshly cooked wild vegetable porridge and said cautiously.
Looking at the bowl of wild vegetable porridge in front of him without even a speck of oil, the third prince shook his head helplessly.
He was indeed hungry, but he had no appetite.
"Why did you stop again?" Seeing the Third Prince sitting there motionless, Ling Shu couldn't help but get annoyed. "It's been so long, and you haven't even cleaned up the rubble. You're such good-for-nothings!"
Looking at the pile of rubble, the third prince couldn't help but feel troubled.
I thought building a house was a simple thing, but I didn’t expect it to be so troublesome.
With only a dozen of them, they couldn't finish the work even if they didn't eat or drink.
However, Zhao's previous words did serve as a reminder to him.
If these more than one hundred convicts can help, it seems that it is not impossible to build the house within the specified time.
The Third Prince thought about it, then walked up to Shen Wan and said, "Miss Shen, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Go ahead." Shen Wan said lightly without even looking at him.
The Third Prince stared at her and smiled, "It's like this. You see, we don't have enough manpower to build the house, so we'd like to ask for your help."
"Of course, I won't use your services for nothing. I can pay you for them."
Although Hu Dahai was the leading officer, he knew clearly that the ones who actually had the final say in this team were Xie Mubai and this clown girl.
"Are you making fun of us?" Shen Wan glanced at him and sneered, "You said you have no money, and now you owe a huge debt. How can you pay the wages?"
The Third Prince thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I can write an IOU."
"You can take this prince's IOU to Baotong Bank, and I will definitely cash it."
Baotong Money House?
What does this son of destiny mean? Why did he reveal his cards? Has he begun to doubt her?
Thinking of this, Shen Wan's heart couldn't help but tighten slightly.
If his identity were to be exposed at this time, he would surely be hunted down by the Third Prince.
The villain wasn't ready yet, and she couldn't bring him any more trouble.
That’s right, the third prince did it on purpose.
As long as there is any mishap at Baotong Bank, it will be enough to confirm the identity of this Harley Quinn.
If she was really the child of destiny, let alone the old master's adopted daughter, even if she was his biological daughter, he would get rid of her without hesitation.
"We don't want to work for him," the first-rate criminal said angrily, "unless..."
Unless you dig a grave for him!
Not only would he do it, he wouldn't even charge a penny.
Seeing this, Shen Wan smiled and looked at the Third Prince: "You saw it too. But if your price is fair, I think someone will consider it."
The fugitive was about to speak but was stopped by Xie Mubai.
"Don't worry, she won't hurt you." He lowered his voice and said coldly.
After hearing this, the fugitive finally calmed down.
That's right, following that Joker girl will only bring you happiness, there's no way you'll suffer any loss.
"The price is negotiable!" The Third Prince's eyes lit up and he quickly said with a smile, "Name your price."
Shen Wan thought for a moment, her eyes skimming over everyone's faces like a dragonfly skimming the water, and said, "No matter if you are male or female, old or young, each person will receive one tael of silver per day."
One or two!
Is this Harley Quinn robbing people openly?
With one tael of silver, you can hire ten professional bricklayers to work for a day.
"You can disagree." Seeing that the Third Prince remained silent, Shen Wan sneered, "We don't want to do it anyway."
The Third Prince gritted his teeth and nodded reluctantly: "Okay, one ounce is one ounce!"
Yaowang Valley is located in the poisonous forest. It is impossible to send a carrier pigeon to ask for help here.
If spending money can solve the problem, he is willing to do so.
As long as Baotong Money House is still there, he will not be so poor that he cannot afford to eat.
After hearing this, Shen Wan raised her eyes and looked at the prisoners: "One tael of silver a day, are you willing?"
