Chapter 195 Treating You to a Drink
Wang Daqing had just woken up, washed and dressed neatly, and was ready to meet Yuanwai Xu from Yanghou Town.
I heard that Xu Yuanwai was on good terms with the Minister of Rites.
He wondered if he could delay this relationship and rescue his precious son from the border.
He was just getting ready to go out.
Butler Zhang ran over in a hurry: "Master, Master."
Seeing Butler Zhang approaching, Wang Daqing couldn't help but stop, looked at him, and asked, "What's the matter in such a hurry?"
Butler Zhang glanced around and said breathlessly to Wang Daqing: "Master, there is something important. It's not convenient to talk about it here. Let's go inside and talk."
Wang Daqing felt troubled, but after hearing his important words, he shook his sleeves and hurriedly followed Butler Zhang towards the house.
After entering the house, Butler Zhang closed the door.
Wang Daqing's brows were full of impatience: "What on earth is going on? We still need to close the window to talk about it."
Butler Zhang then said: "It's about Zuixian Tower. Su Xiaoxi already knows that you asked me to set fire to Zuixian Tower."
When he heard about this, Wang Daqing's expression suddenly changed, and his face was filled with surprise and panic: "How did she know!"
After saying that, he turned his attention to Butler Zhang, "Did you sell us out?"
Butler Zhang is really a different person.
"I'm unjust! Master, I don't know how she knew it, but it really wasn't me who said it. Think about it, I set the fire. How could I report you? This is not to shoot myself in the face. Feet?"
"Then you suddenly came to me and told me that there is a solution to this problem?" Wang Daqing asked, stroking the beard on his chin.
"Yes, yes." Butler Zhang's eyes squinted slightly as he looked at the expression on Wang Daqing's face.
"What method?" Wang Daqing asked impatiently.
Butler Zhang replied: "That's right... that's right..."
He hesitated, and Wang Daqing urged anxiously: "Hurry up and tell me what the solution is!"
Butler Zhang pretended to be helpless and sighed:
"I was kidnapped yesterday by a desperado hired by Su Xiaoxi. He said that Su Xiaoxi gave him 50 taels, and he asked me to give him 100 taels, so he let me go. So I gave him 50 taels as a deposit yesterday. , he said that I must give him the remaining 50 taels today, otherwise he will take me to the Yamen."
"Master, you also know that if I go to the Yamen, I will be tortured so hard that my old bones will not be able to bear it! I have already given him all the 50 taels you gave me. I really have no money. So you... …”
Butler Zhang's meaning was very simple, and Wang Daqing understood it in his heart.
Butler Zhang just wanted Wang Daqing to give him the remaining 50 taels.
Otherwise, he would be arrested and taken to the Yamen, where he would be tortured and tortured.
Wang Daqing glanced at Butler Zhang, and that glance made Butler Zhang feel inexplicably guilty. He lowered his head, feeling uneasy in his heart.
What he just said was no different from a threat.
What if Wang Daqing kills someone and silences him?
However, he then thought again that Wang Daqing was the one who caused this incident. It cannot be said that he extorted the money. This was what Wang Daqing should have given him. If he hadn't asked him to set the fire, how could he have lost it? Jade pendant was caught!
If Wang Daqing dares to kill him and silence him, he will fight Wang Daqing!
Thinking to himself, he gradually gained confidence.
After a brief silence, Wang Daqing slammed the table and shouted: "Okay! I'll give you 50 taels!"
After hearing these words, Butler Zhang finally felt a lot more at ease. With these 50 taels, he no longer had to worry.
Later, Wang Daqing asked Butler Zhang to wait. He went to the back room and took out 50 taels and handed it to Butler Zhang.
Butler Zhang took the money with a smile and said, "Thank you, sir. Don't worry, sir. Once you pay the money, this matter will be settled."
After Butler Zhang got the money, he quickly went to Zuixian Tower and Yang Yuanfan.
In fact, Yang Yuanfan had been waiting outside the Wang family's door, just to see if the housekeeper dared to escape in this chapter.
Not long after seeing Butler Zhang happily exiting the gate, Yang Yuanfan immediately called him.
"Steward Zhang, where are you going?" Yang Yuanfan asked aloud.
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Butler Zhang turned around and trembled in fear when he saw Yang Yuanfan's scarred face.
He immediately stuttered and replied: "I...I was just going to give you money!"
With that said, Butler Zhang handed the package containing 50 taels of silver towards Yang Yuanfan.
I thought to myself, it's a good thing he didn't think about running away, otherwise he would be caught and there would be no good end.
Yang Yuanfan squinted his eyes, and after checking the package, he first weighed it, then opened it and looked at it.
There was indeed 50 taels of silver inside.
"Hero, I've given you these 100 taels, can you let me go now?" Butler Zhang asked with a humble look on his face.
After Yang Yuanfan put the money away, he said to Butler Zhang: "Because you gave me so much money, I'll buy you a drink!"
How dare Butler Zhang drink this wine? He immediately waved his hand and said: "No, no, no need, hero! Let the hero drink the wine himself."
He didn't want to stay with Yang Yuanfan for a moment.
