Prince Zhang continued
"Lord Rongfu, I only spoke a few words while drunk, following the lead of Lord Luo. He didn't have time to act, and it didn't cause you any harm. I've already admitted my mistakes, and I should apologize. Please calm down, Lord."
"I won't be able to calm down until I see sincerity!"
No one has ever seen anyone extorting money so openly, because they claim to be of noble status, so why would they ask for money all the time?
"He will take responsibility for the second brother's mistakes, and we sincerely ask for forgiveness!"
Do you want to direct all your attacks towards Zhang Zitong?
When Prince Zhang saw her, he was not only alert, but also had a subtle hatred in his heart. Although he suppressed it, who was Bai Zhiyue? His little actions and thoughts were all revealed in front of her.
"You want to ask your second brother for the sincerity I want? Are you just talking about it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the father and son of Marquis Cheng'en, but also the expressions of the other people watching the fun changed.
He was completely trying to divert Lord Rongfu's anger towards his second brother. This guy was not someone to be trifled with. If he wasn't careful, Zhang Zitong might lose his life.
Marquis Cheng'en still has some affection for the boy, so he can no longer openly help reduce his sentence. If he pushes him to death again, it would be too unreasonable.
He was also afraid that his son would not be able to keep the secret, so he dragged them in.
"Rongfu is wrong. It's the father's fault. But what you said..."
"Where did I say less? Let me do the math again. This incident gave me a huge shock. I understand the mental damage, but the loss of reputation is easier to understand.
As a result, everyone will always doubt whether there is any problem with the items in my store, and I dare not arrange for home delivery, so the losses in the future will be huge.
It's easy to understand what intentional injury is. He knew how serious the consequences would be, but he still did everything he could to frame me. If it had succeeded, the damage it would have caused to me would be immeasurable.
Attempted crime is also a crime, so I am right to ask for compensation, right? What else did I miss?
Oh, by the way, the guys from Caixiangzhai also need to be compensated. They almost lost their lives. If something had happened, they might have died immediately.
Oops, how could I have forgotten just now! "
Some of the people watching the fun couldn't help laughing, but Marquis Cheng'en moved his mouth and changed his expression several times, but he couldn't find a reason.
No one had ever been so reasonable before, and he was completely defeated.
The key point is that not only was there no loss, but she was given one more. It's amazing.
"Lord Rongfu, you are blackmailing me. Why are you taking into account something that didn't happen? I should apologize for provoking you, but you can't blackmail me like this!"
Prince Zhang was a little anxious because all the money he was going to give away was his.
"You're such a good talker, you think you can just let it go with a few apologies? If that's the case, then if someone has bad intentions in the future, as long as they don't succeed, they can just say a few nice words and let it go."
Yes, if we follow his words, there won’t be too many people who dare to have bad intentions in the future. They will just admit their mistakes when they are discovered. This is definitely not okay!
Turn to other humanitarian
"If a family member of yours were to fall seriously ill or die from poison, would you let me go? Even if it wasn't my fault, could you offer a few words of apology and some compensation, and ask for forgiveness? Can silver buy the lives of your loved ones, your beloved children and grandchildren?"
Bai Zhiyue's eyes swept through the crowd, as if whoever said that it could be bought with money might lose a loved one next.
"Of course not. My grandson's life is the life of our family. Whoever harms him, I will kill him. Even if it's not Caixiangzhai's fault, it's not okay. It's because he ate your snacks that the accident happened!"
"Of course, it's not something that can be dismissed with just a few coins."
"But it didn't work out. All of this is just possibility and speculation."
Bai Zhiyue raised her hand and shot Master Zhang. The bullet flew past his face and he felt the pain of his skin burning.
"What is Lord Rongfu doing? Is he going to kill someone in public?"
"I'm sorry, I just touched you accidentally, it wasn't intentional, and you weren't hurt, so it doesn't count as murder!"
"You~"
"Why are you angry? You're fine!"
Marquis Cheng'en knew that if Bai Zhiyue failed to achieve her goal today, they would have no chance of escaping. They had already taken out their weapons, and who knew where they would shoot next time.
This son can't get into trouble again.
"I understand what Lord Rongfu meant. We were too naive. This has indeed caused you a lot of trouble and harm. How much compensation do you require?"
"It would have been nice if this had happened earlier, before my hands got out of control!"
Everyone was also enlightened. It turned out that this was how Lord Rongfu extorted money. If he couldn't convince her, he would just use his tactics. That's how it was done. It was impossible to learn this. Only she could use this trick. They were all civilized people and couldn't do this.
Prince Zhang wanted to say something but was stopped by his father. It was better to spend money to avoid disaster at this time.
The main reason was that he knew too well that no one who was blackmailed by her would be spared. Don't struggle. She never does anything without confidence. If something that shouldn't be said is exposed again, his family can no longer bear it.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver is enough! I'll accept cash and banknotes, or gold!"
Marquis Cheng'en knew that he would have to ask for money, and he thought that one hundred thousand taels was acceptable, so he stopped struggling and ordered his men to get the banknotes.
Silver bills are the most convenient and save the most time, so let's send people away quickly. Those who are still here to watch the fun should leave quickly.
The housekeeper brought over a small box and handed it to Bai Zhiyue. It was full of banknotes.
Qinglian took it and counted it carefully.
"Duke, the amount is correct!"
"Well, we have to trust Marquis Cheng'en. He definitely wouldn't lie!"
Oh, you said that before counting, and you counted each one so seriously.
Marquis Cheng'en is no longer angry.
The others who received the apology felt that the things in their hands were not so attractive the moment they received them. There is no harm without comparison. Compared with Bai Zhiyue, they were too easy to talk to. They were given away with things worth hundreds of taels.
I have some opinions about Marquis Cheng'en in my heart. Well, who is he looking down on?
After receiving the banknote, Bai Zhiyue looked at Master Zhang, who lowered his head but was full of hatred.
"I accidentally overheard a few words that night!"
This sentence hit him hard, and he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
[Which night was that? It can’t be that night!]
I don't even have the courage to look up at her.
"Poor Zhang Zitong, he was deliberately led astray by Big Brother and he even put all the blame on him. It was clearly you who came up with this proposal and asked him to do it, so that you could use the Luo family to bring me down."
"No, that's not the case. We have already compensated you. Why are you still accusing me?"
"It's a false accusation. Why don't you go confront Zhang Zitong? Compensation is compensation, but do you think this little compensation can buy my mouth? Humph!"
"No~"
