Chapter 161
[The kidnappers probably didn’t expect
that. ] [A prince of the Northern Zhao Kingdom could be so stingy. ]
[But since the people were kidnapped. ]
[So they didn’t give up. ]
[They had to get something back, right? ]
[So they sent someone to secretly go to the palace to get information. ]
[Who knew that the person they sent came back to report. ]
[It was said that King Wu had no intention of paying the ransom at all. ]
[I wonder if he thought that they wouldn’t dare to do anything to his grandson. ]
[This really pissed off the kidnappers! ]
[They have been kidnappers for so many years, but this is the first time they have been ignored like this. ]
[Tmd! ]
[Don’t I have any face as a bandit? ]
[If I don’t show my power, you think I’m a sick cat, right? 】
【Do you really think I won't do anything? 】
【In a rage, the kidnapper leader cut off one of the ears of the eldest grandson of King Wu. 】
【And dug out one of his eyes. 】
【He also tore off the pendant on his clothes. 】
【And put them in a letter. 】
【Then he had someone send the letter to King Wu's mansion. 】
【This time, King Wu's eldest son and daughter-in-law were scared! 】
【If the ransom is not paid. 】
【Their eldest son is really going to be gone! 】
【So they finally got tough. 】 【 They
said that if King Wu refused to pay the ransom. 】
【Then they would expose this matter, including some shameful things King Wu had done in the past. 】
【And report it to the emperor. 】
【Let the whole Northern Zhao know. 】
【What kind of person is King Wu. 】
【Now King Wu finally realized. 】
【Things can't be dragged on like this. 】
【Although he was reluctant to spend the money. 】
【But he still wanted to save face. 】
【However, after thinking about it, King Wu still felt that 1,000 taels of silver was too expensive. 】
【So he actually started to bargain with the kidnappers. 】
【He said that he could only offer 50 taels of silver at most. 】
【He really couldn't take out more. 】
【He also said that if the kidnappers refused to accept it, then they would let his eldest grandson take care of it. 】 【
Those kidnappers had also encountered people who bargained before. 】
【But they had never seen anyone who was so good at bargaining! 】
【The kidnapper leader was about to cry! 】
【But it's better than nothing! 】
【So he had no choice but to agree. 】
After hearing this,
everyone was stunned!!!
They really didn't know how to complain about Prince Wu's behavior!
Emperor Mingde and several princes took a breath of cold air!
It turned out that Zhao Zhicheng's (the name of Prince Wu's eldest grandson) ears and one of his eyes were cut off alive by the kidnappers!
If you could have handled the matter actively at that time,
you wouldn't have ended up like this!
And Prince Wu was willing to pay the money in the end.
It was because he was threatened by his eldest son.
He had to pay in order to save his own face.
In
other words, for him, face and money, no matter which one, are more important than his grandson.
Wei Yinuo was also dumbfounded!
[Oh my god!]
[From 1,000 taels of silver directly to 50 taels?!]
[This bargaining ability, I am afraid that even the aunties buying vegetables in the market will feel inferior!]
[I have to say that this King Wu is really a talent!]
[It’s just a pity for his eldest grandson.]
[Although he was rescued in the end.]
[But he lost an ear and an eye.]
[This is a big blow!]
System: [Who said it wasn’t!]
[Later, King Wu’s eldest grandson never recovered from this. 】
【He locked himself up at home all day long. 】
【Not only did he refuse to see anyone. 】
【He even refused to talk. 】
【To put it bluntly. 】
【Now he is alive in the world. 】
【He is just a walking corpse. 】
Just when everyone was still lamenting the ruthlessness of King Wu and sympathizing with the experience of King Wu's eldest grandson.
The system deliberately kept it a secret:
【Host, do you think this matter is over? 】
【Actually, it is not. 】
Wei Yinuo asked in confusion:
【Ah? 】
【What do you mean? 】
The system then continued:
【Although King Wu paid 50 taels of silver to rescue his eldest grandson from the kidnappers. 】
【But he thought about this matter again and again. 】
【He still felt that it was too much of a loss for him to pay the 50 taels of silver. 】
【He also sent out soldiers for this purpose. 】 【He
wanted to catch these kidnappers. 】
【Unfortunately, the kidnappers had already made preparations. 】
【When they arrived, they had already fled and disappeared without a trace. 】
【So it was impossible for King Wu to recover his 50 taels of silver from the kidnappers. 】
【But King Wu still did not give up. 】
【He was so distressed that he couldn't eat or sleep well. 】
【After thinking about it, he finally came up with a solution. 】
【He wrote an IOU to his eldest son. 】
【He asked his eldest son to return the money to him in the future. 】
【Not only that, he also asked him to pay him interest at a rate of one percent per month. 】
【When the eldest son of King Wu received this IOU. 】
【He was completely stunned! 】
【But King Wu thought there was nothing wrong with it. 】
【Because after all, he thought it was your son's business. 】
【It has nothing to do with him. 】
【As a father, he should pay back the money. 】
Ministers: ...
Emperor Mingde and several princes: ...
Wei Yinuo: ...
At this moment, everyone was silent!
Sure enough!
For a stingy person like King Wu,
there are things you can't think of.
There is nothing he can't do!
Only King Wu's face was as red as a monkey's butt.
But in his heart, he always felt that he had done nothing wrong!
In this morning court,
the one who was most embarrassed must be King Wu.
When leaving the court.
All the ministers looked at him with strange eyes.
Especially Prince Jing.
Originally, he thought the matter of the two steamed buns was outrageous.
But when he heard that Prince Wu even asked his son to pay back the money he paid to the kidnappers for saving his grandson,
and also had to pay interest .
He felt that there was nothing to say.
For such a person who has stinginess engraved in his bones,
there is nothing to say.
Just stay away from him in the future.
I wish you all a happy 520~~~~~~~
Whether you are single or in a relationship, you must be nicer to yourself~~~~~~~~~
If no one sends you flowers, send one to yourself~~~~~~~~~
