Princess Medical Doctor Chapter 464 part2

When the Pawnbroker heard Housekeeper Cao’s words, he secretly said: You are short of 50,000, what does it have to do with us?

“Sir, that’s not how we do things.” The Pawnbroker tried to reason with Housekeeper Cao, but Housekeeper Cao completely ignored him. Housekeeper Cao only said: “The Emperor wanted these 200,000 silvers, we are short of 50,000. You keep delaying us, let’s see if the emperor will not find fault in your shop.”
Since such a big hat was put on his head, the Pawnbroker suddenly had no idea what to do. He nodded his head and said: “I need to ask our shopkeeper about this matter.”
“Go.” Housekeeper Cao looked very calm as if he had no idea how shameless he was.
It’s not that Housekeeper Cao was shameless, but this pawnshop owner was the same owner of the merchant who took the lead to increased the price of rice. After all, the Central Empire was behind their back.
Behind this incident of price hike, were actually the Crown Prince, Prince Wen, and other officials. These two were the sons of the Emperor. If they pick out a fight with them head-on, the emperor will likely be furious.
As for the officials? Their weight will not be enough. Lin Chujiu pondered over and over again in this matter. In the end, she decided to let Housekeeper Cao pick a fight with the merchants that the central empire was relying on.
The soft persimmon is easy to be pinched and can easily get scared with the strong. Other people will be obedient as soon as the background have connections to the central empire.
When the Pawnbroker went out, he immediately reported what happened to the Shopkeeper. When the Shopkeeper heard the report, he laughed: “This Xiao Wangfu thinks we are easy to bully. Don’t they know the people behind us?”
“Shopkeeper Zhang, then regarding this the matter?” The Pawnbroker asked carefully.
“Here, isn’t it just 50,000? Send this to the beggar.” Shopkeeper Zhang bluntly said.
The Pawnbroker looked at the silver that was taken out. He estimated that the Shopkeeper would make Xiao Wangfu spit this out 10x more.
Their Zhang family was not easy to be bully in the Central Empire.
Thinking about this, the Pawnbroker retreated happily. When he faced Housekeeper Cao again, he became arrogant: “Our shopkeeper said, since Xiao Wangye is bleeding and sweating in the front line, we shouldn’t be stingy. These 50,000 silvers are a gift to Xiao Wangye out of courtesy. You can also carry all these things back.”
“The people in our Xiao Wangfu never bully others and don’t take any money from the people. If you will not take these things, then we will not accept the silvers.” Housekeeper Cao said with awe, even he himself, was touched by his words.
It’s not good to play a game after bullying other people.
When the Pawnbroker heard this, he couldn’t help but sneer. He wanted to make sarcastic remarks, but he saw a servant came in and whispered in his ears. The Pawnbroker‘s face got stiff and then he stared at Housekeeper Cao. He didn’t say another word to him, he just let someone prepared the silver tickets.
“Have a safe trip, Sir.” The Pawnbroker said with a gloating look in the face. Housekeeper Cao didn’t think too much about it. Their wangfei refused to accept the imperial edict must have spread in the capital.
Before, when their Wangye haven’t get married, their Xiao Wangfu had always kept a high profile in the war but lived a low profile in the capital. Outsiders don’t know many things about them, but since their Wangye married their wangfei, everything has changed… …
They were now acting more and more high-profile. They always make noise all over the capital. Their wangfei refused to accept the imperial edict, such a big matter, it would be strange if it was not spread.
Housekeeper Cao held the 200,000 silvers in his hand and sighed inside his heart: I hope things go well in Su Gongzi’s side, otherwise, there will be big trouble!
