Chapter 727 How much compensation do I have to pay?
Upon hearing this, Wang Li glanced towards the shop. There were antique fragments all over the floor, and it seemed that there was also the exquisite blue and white porcelain that he had just taken a fancy to, one piece of which seemed to be worth tens of thousands of taels.
How much does so much stuff cost...
Thinking of this, he immediately shrank back, fearing that he would be found.
Li Mu was a little confused. He glanced at the shop, where all the treasures were broken into pieces. He felt regretful, but he didn't want to pay for it. "Why do you want me to pay for it?"
"Why? Did you guys smash it?"
"Yes, but..."
"Don't say buts. Just say yes. If you break something, you have to pay for it. Even a three-year-old knows that. How could the boss of Beili Trading Company not understand that?" The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and said, "Or is it that Beili Trading Company is oppressing the people and is so used to it that they can just smash up shops at will?"
Li Mu was suddenly speechless.
"Hey, even if you are very powerful and can smash and destroy things as you please in Beili, this is Nanyuan, Dayu City, and you can't be so presumptuous. If you don't pay compensation today, you can expect to be sued." The shopkeeper pinched his waist tightly.
"Sir Li, it's not a good look to get sued in Nanyuan. Pay the money quickly." Zhan Chi said coldly as he stood aside.
Li Mu's face was filled with anger. He turned around and shouted angrily, "Zhan Chi, stop talking nonsense."
"Hehe, you don't behave like a human being, who can you blame?" Zhan Chi has always looked down on Li Mu. Since he took over the management of Huangshang from Gu Shuo, he has become more and more arrogant every year.
The emperor also trusted him very much. It was Li Mu who mentioned the ban on private ownership in Beili. The emperor was determined to fill the national treasury. The process was not important as long as more money could be made.
Therefore, the people of Beili are now in dire straits and have difficulty making a living.
"That's right. I heard that this guy is the boss of the entire Beili Royal Trading Company. He can't just refuse to pay after smashing someone's shop."
"If he dares to default on his debt, we will report it to the Emperor. The Northern Li Emperor's merchants are arrogant and unreasonable, and they don't keep their word."
"Tsk tsk, no wonder Beili doesn't allow private businesses. With people like this in charge of the royal business, the common people are suffering. Alas, it's a good thing we weren't born in Beili."
"That's right. The people of Beili are so miserable."
There were a lot of people watching, from all over the world.
Li Mu clenched his fists, turned around and glared at Wang Li.
Wang Li felt something was wrong and turned around to run away with the ginseng in his arms, but was stopped by Li Mu's guards.
"Master Li, what do you mean?"
"I was not the only one who destroyed Ji Shengtang. Where can Lord Wang run to?" Since he couldn't deny it, Beili couldn't bear all the consequences alone.
"If it weren't for Lord Li provoking trouble, my people wouldn't have taken action. This matter has nothing to do with us."
How to compensate for so much?
"It takes two to tango. Since we've already started fighting, the compensation should be shared equally."
"It has nothing to do with us."
Wang Li just kept insisting on one sentence, which made Li Mu so angry that he jumped up and down.
"Boss, two groups of people smashed it together just now. You can't let me pay for it alone." Li Mu looked at the shopkeeper angrily.
The shopkeeper shrugged. "I don't care if you guys have to pay me. Anyway, I have so many things in this shop, just compensate me for them all. Waiter, please count the items and I'll send the bill to this guest's residence when the time comes."
"Okay."
"That's not fair..."
"Now you know how to be fair. Where has the force of buying and selling gone? Sir, you are Lord Li Mu from Beili Royal Trading Company, right? I will deduct the ten thousand gold deposit note you gave me. The bill will be calculated and sent to you tomorrow. You can go back and raise money first... Oh, no, how could the head of Beili Royal Trading Company need to raise money? Remember to prepare the money first." The shopkeeper said and went back to the store with a smile.
I made a fortune today!
Of course, Wang Li didn't want to be a scapegoat, so he winked at his guards, pushed the person in front of him away, and ran away.
The crowd was noisy, and Li Mu finally reacted: "Behead the general, don't let him escape."
"It's none of my business." Zhan Chi said coldly.
"Zhan Chi, you... I will report to the emperor what General Zhan did." Li Mu gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Don't bother Lord Li. I will go back and write a memorial. Lord Li's actions will be reported to the emperor word for word." Everyone can write a report.
One cannot be too upright; the way to survive is to add some exaggeration.
Li Mu gritted his teeth, unable to refute. He lost so much money today for no apparent reason. The emperor loves money, and he would be furious if he knew about it. Thinking of this.
I also felt a little regretful for provoking Zhan Chi.
Full of anger, he pushed through the crowd and walked towards the inn.
The emperor didn't send anyone to protect him, he sent him a death warrant.
"Ji Shengtang is going to make a fortune this time." Huo Feng glanced into the hall and saw all kinds of good stuff. He had been wandering around Dayu City for a long time, especially in antique shops where the prices had suddenly increased several times.
"The representative of Beili Trading Company seems quite arrogant. He must be used to bullying others. Just like..." Jiang Yue wanted to complain about Huo Liran again, but stopped talking when she saw Huo Feng.
"Just what?" Huo Feng asked.
Jiang Chenyi knew what she was going to say and glared at her secretly.
Jiang Yue shrugged: "Nothing."
A trace of doubt flashed across Huo Feng's brows. Before he could figure it out, he turned around and saw a general in military armor walking towards them. His face paused and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
Jiang Chenyi protected Jiang Yue behind him, his eyes alert: "I wonder what the general wants?"
Zhan Chi walked past them and came to Ye Qianning.
Jiang Chenyi turned around and took a step forward: "What do you want to do, General?"
Zhan Chi reached into his arms, took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to Ye Qianning.
Huo Feng was originally very nervous, but when he saw the thick stack of banknotes that the other party took out, he began to look surprised.
Jiang Chenyi was also stunned. What is a banknote?
"I don't want it. I have money." Ye Qianning said.
"Take it, go shopping and buy something you like, and eat more delicious food. You're so skinny that your master and grandparents will be so sad when they see you." Zhan Chi stuffed the banknote into her hand.
Ye Qianning looked at the banknotes and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It can't be restored, it looks better when it's thinner."
"Nonsense, chubby ones are obviously better." Zhan Chi rubbed her head with a gentle and doting look in his eyes: "Dad Zhan still has some things to deal with, he will be back to have dinner with you in the evening."
"You're staring at me while I eat." Ye Qianning pouted and muttered.
"You are not allowed to be picky about food."
"I understand. Go get busy."
"Leave."
Zhan Chi reluctantly withdrew his hand, looking back every few steps...
Ye Qianning held his forehead, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop curling up, and it seemed that nothing had changed.
Huo Feng's handsome face was distorted with shock. Yesterday, the stern and majestic general now had a doting look in his eyes...
Jiang Chenyi and Jiang Yue were stunned, staring blankly at the handsome general in simple military armor, who kept looking back at them even after walking quite far away.
"Ye...Sister Ye, do you recognize this general?" Jiang Yue turned around and couldn't help asking.
