Jiang Ling couldn't contain his inner excitement, and he clapped his hands hard, and the crisp sound instantly cut through the air.
He then shouted at the top of his voice, "That's very well said! Nanyu City is the home of us ordinary people!"
He waved his arms to boost his momentum while continuing to express his views passionately, and winked at Yue Qianli from time to time.
“What is home? Home should be a safe haven full of warmth, security and peace of mind.
However, if things like today happen again and again, then this family will be in big trouble!
Everyone knows that our Emperor Nangong is a very good person!
I'm thinking, if Emperor Nangong knew about what happened today, he might be so angry that he would vomit blood!"
Having said this, Jiang Ling paused for a moment, glanced at the people around him, and then continued:
"Look at those guys who are showing off their power by relying on their family's influence. The so-called family superiority can simply corrode people's conscience!
How many people have been so confused that they almost forget their own names!
So, we really have to rely on Emperor Nangong to remind them from time to time, so that everyone can always keep a clear head!"
Although Jiang Ling's tone seemed a little lazy at this moment, every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone present.
He talked incessantly, completely ignoring the surprised looks of others.
The onlookers also turned their eyes in their direction, stretching their necks, curious about who could be so bold and outspoken.
You know, judging from their clothes, the two young men who just fought were either wealthy children or powerful figures with connections.
As for the other two young masters standing behind them, their status and position were obviously even higher.
At this moment, the four people turned their heads in the direction where the sound came from.
Jiang Ling was waving his hands vigorously at them with a smile on his face, as if he was very familiar with them.
Seeing Jiang Ling so confident and smiling, two of them were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
They secretly swore in their hearts that once they reached the shore, they would teach this ignorant guy a lesson.
He must suffer a little and know that there are some people whom he cannot offend. In Nanyu City, they have such strength!
However, unlike these two furious men, the other two had expressions of surprise on their faces.
They looked at Jiang Ling and couldn't help but think to themselves, "Hey, this guy is really interesting! I wonder if he's just skilled and bold, or if he really has some extraordinary qualities?"
Although they were full of curiosity, this was obviously not the time to explore these things. After all, there were more important things that needed to be dealt with right now, and they also had to have a good talk with their royal brother when they returned.
The man said coldly, "What? Are you two still planning to cheat and refuse to admit your mistake?
I tell you, if you don’t pay the compensation today, we will go straight to your door to ask for it!
Prince Wang, Prince Liu, what do you think?"
When they were greeted like this, they understood.
Since we know their last names, it can be seen that they came prepared.
Hearing this, Master Wang and Master Liu looked at each other and saw a hint of gloom in each other's eyes.
Afterwards, the two young men slowly took out a silver note with a face value of one thousand taels from their pockets and handed it to the boatman very reluctantly.
That’s right, the captain of this ship has been called over at this moment.
Although he was feeling very nervous and uneasy as he stood there, there was nothing he could do, because this boat was the foundation of his survival.
However, when the boatman saw the two light silver bills, his face instantly turned ugly, and he didn't even stretch out his hand to take them.
I saw that his brows were furrowed, his lips moved slightly, and he seemed to be muttering something in his heart:
This... this is like giving alms to beggars! A mere two thousand taels of silver?
The boatman finally couldn't help but complain in a low voice. As he muttered, he glanced at the two people in front of him out of the corner of his eye, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and contempt.
You know, he spent a full 20,000 taels of silver to buy this ship!
In addition, several thousand taels were invested in the subsequent decoration and layout, which is not a small amount when added together.
But now, the two of them damaged his boat and actually wanted to get rid of him with only two thousand taels. It was really disgusting.
Although, he has no power.
However, I couldn't just accept the two thousand taels and could only resist silently...
Seeing that the boatman was reluctant to take the banknote, the prince became impatient.
He frowned and raised his voice to scold, "What? Do you think it's too little?"
A cold voice appeared:
"Oh, if the boatman refuses to take it, there must be a reason. Just based on your small amount of money?
What’s the difference between this and sending away a beggar?
You guys are really good at this, are you ignorant, or are you just trying to get away with it?"
He turned to look at the boatman, and asked in a slightly softer tone, "Boatman, just give them a number directly. Maybe they don't know the actual value of your boat."
Hearing this, the boatman was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and slowly said:
"The total cost of buying this boat, including its decoration and furnishing, was nearly twenty-five thousand taels!" His voice was not loud, but it revealed a firm and unquestionable attitude.
This is his life, the foundation of his entire family's survival.
Hearing this, the man in purple nodded and said to the two troublesome young men.
"Did you hear that clearly? Twenty-five thousand taels for the ship's fare and five thousand taels for damages. I could have earned a lot of money to support my family these few days, all because of your selfishness.
Fifteen thousand yuan will be enough for each of you. I’ll give it to you now. If you don’t have the money, send someone back to get it.
Of course, I can also send someone to your house to ask for it, but I don’t know what will happen.”
After saying that, he whispered another sentence in front of them.
Only then did the two realize that they had hit a wall and they had to pay the money even if they didn't want to.
They can't run away, and even if they run away today, their family will be affected.
The two of them were clear about this principle.
Play is play, but don’t lose the big picture for the small.
Both of them are very smart, otherwise they would not be loved by their family.
So he quickly jumped off the boat, came to the shore, and told his servant to go back quickly to get the banknotes.
Seeing these two people being so considerate, the man in purple nodded with satisfaction.
To put it bluntly, these young men from wealthy families have been spoiled by their families.
In fact, as long as it's not too excessive, they will turn a blind eye. After all, they can't have the final say in Nanyu City.
