The five people on the ground were silent.

They didn't dare to say anything more and just wanted to beg for mercy.

Qian Ruoyu naturally knew that the people he brought were only from the kitchen and did not really have any combat power. He was just trying to scare these five people.

Therefore, the final resort is just to ask these five people to apologize and pay compensation. Apart from that, Qian Ruoyu does not want to make things really serious.

Because if they really get into trouble, not only will they be sent to the government, they may even be executed later, and even their relatives will be affected.

With such a terrible thing happening, I'm afraid some will be demoted, some will be exiled, and it will inevitably cause a storm in the court and spread far and wide!

This was not what Qian Ruoyu wanted to do. What's more, Qian Ruoyu was just a nobody in the entire court and could not compare to such a big star as Prince Chu Mobai.

Therefore, doing such a thing would not only bring no benefit to Qian Ruoyu, but she would also most likely be punished by Chu Mobai, further leading to the disintegration of the relationship between the two.

This is not what Qian Ruoyu wants to do.

Therefore, I can only mention it so far!

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Report to the authorities, have the Jingzhao Prefecture send people to arrest you all, and then exile your entire clan and demote you from your position?"

As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, the five people hurriedly shook their heads.

"No no no, no no no..."

After all, the five of them relied on their family's influence to cause trouble at the vegetable stall, but they didn't expect to run into a big piece of steel like Qian Ruoyu.

Qian Ruoyu said with a sneer.

"Now I'll give you a chance, what do you think we should do?"

"There happens to be a victim here this morning, Boss Zhou, you guys can handle it yourself."

When Aunt Zhou heard about herself, she hurried over from the side of the tree and came to the bottom of Qian Ruoyu's stairs.

One of the smarter ones quickly knelt down and crawled over to Aunt Zhou. He no longer cared about his face at this time.

"Boss Zhou...Boss Zhou!"

"We were wrong about what happened this morning. We apologize to you and hope you can forgive us. If you need anything, please just tell us. As long as you are willing to forgive us!"

After hearing what he said, the other four people reacted immediately and kept pleading with Aunt Zhou.

"Boss Zhou, please spare us!"

"Boss Zhou, we admit our mistake this morning. Please let me know if you need anything!"

After seeing their performance, Aunt Zhou didn't say much, but instead looked at Qian Ruoyu.

Because she knew that all decision-making power lay in the hands of Qian Ruoyu, not in the hands of a commoner like herself.

After seeing her eyes, Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly and spoke calmly to the five people.

"You all said that you would have a chance to have a successful career in the government, but now you have done something like this to bully the people!"

"Just an apology and a kowtow, that's all. It seems that the lesson I gave you is not enough. Do you want to do something more profound?"

Qian Ruoyu had just finished talking about the smartest person and hurriedly said.

“Yes, yes!”

"Boss Zhou, I am willing to pay you ten taels of silver for your losses this morning!"

Qian Ruoyu burst out laughing coldly.

These ten taels of silver are just a drop in the ocean for these young masters. There is really no sincerity in them!

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's sneer, he quickly changed his words.

"No, no, no... I was wrong, I was wrong, it's fifty taels of silver!"

Aunt Zhou looked surprised, but she still didn't say anything.

Several other people also offered compensation prices.

"I'm willing to pay eighty taels of silver!"

"I'll pay one hundred taels of silver as compensation!"

"I'll also give you 100 taels of silver! Please, Boss Zhou, forgive us!"

Aunt Zhou was able to get nearly four hundred silver coins in compensation all at once, which made her a little out of control for a moment.

After all, this is more than four hundred taels of silver, which is the income that I could only earn by delivering food to the palace for several months.

Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly, and Aunt Zhou then quickly spoke.

"Well, I feel your apology is sincere. Since you have already said that you will pay so much money, I have no choice but to accept it..."

After hearing that Aunt Zhou accepted their compensation, the five people felt relieved and turned their attention to Qian Ruoyu again, but they were extremely humble at this time!

Because there is a high possibility that their careers will be completely ruined because of Qian Ruoyu's words!

This will also implicate his father and even ruin the bright future of his family.

Qian Ruoyu said calmly.

"How did Boss Zhou solve my problem? Is this princess's problem so easy to solve with you?"

"This matter can be considered a small matter or a big matter. To put it in a big way, you have trespassed into Wangfujing without permission, which is a capital crime punishable by death!"

"To put it simply, you recently sent a gift to the old lady. I'm afraid you all know about the old lady's birthday banquet. As for how much money you are willing to give, that's your business. But if you are not sincere enough, you will be punished for both crimes!"

Then Qian Ruoyu came to the person in front and spoke to him condescendingly.

"What do you think?"

The person in the front quickly lowered his head and said.

"Yes... yes, it's my duty to celebrate the old lady's birthday. I... I am willing to pay five hundred taels of silver!"

Qian Ruoyu narrowed her eyes slightly.

Thinking about the official positions of the elders in these people's families and the silver they might have stored on them, he thought that perhaps he could squeeze more silver from them.

So just say it directly.

"Is that all?"

When the leader heard this, he was completely shocked, and then he understood what Qian Ruoyu meant.

"Yes... I was negligent. Let me repeat myself. Five hundred taels of silver were given to the old lady as a birthday gift, and the other five hundred taels of silver were given to you, the princess, to pass on..."

Qian Ruoyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He had originally thought of getting some income from the five hundred taels of silver.

But he didn't expect that he could extort another 500 taels of silver directly from them. This was his complete net income!

Therefore Qian Ruoyu smiled slightly and looked at the other four people.

The four people had no objections and nodded in agreement to the money.

At this time, Qian Ruoyu was extremely happy. Aunt Zhou received more than 400 taels of silver, and Qian Ruoyu received more than 2,000 taels of silver at one time!

It's simply a huge sum of money.
