That afternoon, Xu Zhiqian returned home angrily.
Rong Bo, who was cleaning at the door, bowed and said, "Sister Qian'er, you're back."
"Uncle Rong, is Zhang San at home?"
"exist... ."
As soon as Rong Bo said a word, he felt his old eyes blurry. Xu Zhiqian in front of him was no longer visible. He rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself: "Was it my eyes that were blurry just now?"
Arriving at the gate of Zhang San's courtyard, Xu Zhiqian didn't care about her image as a lady from a wealthy family at all and shouted loudly: "Zhang San! Come out!"
"Who is yelling outside...!"
With a creak, the door opened and Zhang Fei walked out. "Oh! It's Madam Xu!"
"Zhang San, you despicable villain, how dare you tease me."
Xu Zhiqian pointed at Zhang Fei and said angrily.
Zhang Fei was confused. "Why am I teasing you?"
Xu Zhiqian said, "You are still playing dumb here. Didn't you say a few days ago that as long as Li Si sued the authorities, he would definitely win?"
"Yes."
Zhang Fei nodded and asked, "Didn't you win?"
Xu Zhiqian was so angry that she took a few steps forward and said, "Not only did he not win, but Li Si was also beaten by the government. He was pitiful to begin with, why did you want to harm him like this?"
Zhang Fei said: "I didn't harm him."
"You're still quibbling?" Xu Zhiqian really wanted to raise her little fist and punch him in the chest.
"Why am I quibbling?" Zhang Fei shrugged and said, "I did say he would win for sure, but I also said something like if. If he doesn't win, I'll pay him. Madam Xu won't be just right, so just remember the first half of the sentence."
Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you going to compensate for?"
"All his losses." Zhang Fei wrote casually: "Is one hundred strings of cash enough?"
"One hundred strings of cash?" Xu Zhiqian blinked her beautiful eyes. Seeing how calm he was, she knew that he must have guessed that he would not win, so she asked, "What are you planning?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I am not familiar with Xiangfu County. If I go there to sue, the time, place and people are not in my favor. If I want to sue, I can go to Kaifeng Prefecture. But if Li Si does not sue the officials in Xiangfu County first, he has no right to come to Kaifeng Prefecture."
According to the system of the Northern Song Dynasty, under normal circumstances, the people could not file a complaint to a higher level. Only if you were dissatisfied with the local judgment could you file a complaint with a higher administrative agency. Xiangfu County happened to belong to Kaifeng Prefecture.
But Xu Zhiqian didn't dare to believe Zhang Fei.
Before, he patted his chest and said that he would definitely win, but in the end he got the other person beaten.
Zhang Fei saw what she was thinking, so he said, "If you don't believe me, Madam Xu, I can sign a contract with Li Si. I will help him fight the lawsuit, and I will give him 100 strings of cash as compensation."
Xu Zhiqian felt like she was hallucinating. "What did you say? You helped him with the lawsuit, and you also gave him a hundred strings of cash?"
This is really rare!
You, a taciturn person, go to help others with lawsuits, and you still have to give money to the other party. Even Bodhisattva is not as kind as you!
"Yes."
Zhang Fei nodded, then changed the subject and said, "But the rest of the profits from this lawsuit belong to me."
Xu Zhiqian asked cautiously: "Other benefits?"
Zhang Fei said: "Don't worry about it. Regardless of whether I win or lose, I will pay Li Si 100 strings of cash. He will definitely make a profit."
Xu Zhiqian said incredulously: "Are you crazy? Even if you win the lawsuit in the end, and the government asks Chen Yuteng to return all the money to Li Si, I'm afraid there won't be even 30 strings of cash."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It turns out that Madam Xu cares about me so much."
"Bah! Who cares about you?" Xu Zhiqian glared at Zhang Fei, then asked, "How much do you plan to earn?"
The reaction is quite quick! Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I won't tell you."
“… ..!”
Xu Zhiqian snorted: "If you don't tell me, then I will...!"
"Just what?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "You won't sue? I don't really care, but you can't say I cheated you. I am willing to pay compensation, and the amount is not small, it's just that you don't want to."
"You...!" Xu Zhiqian gasped in anger.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but glance at her chest. Hey, young girl! She's got some talent! So what? When I have money, I won't be afraid of not having women.
He looked up at the sky.
Xu Zhiqian suddenly took a deep breath and asked, "So what are you going to do next?"
Is this the right thing to do? It makes you seem like you have a choice. Zhang Fei's expression changed, and he said seriously: "Meet with Li Si first and sign a formal contract. This will ensure that there will be no other misunderstandings between us."
Xu Zhiqian said coldly: "There is no misunderstanding between us."
Zhang Fei just smiled helplessly.
Although the words were harsh, Xu Zhiqian had no choice now because Zhang Fei had given her so much.
One hundred strings of cash
No matter how we fight this lawsuit, it's impossible to get so much compensation!
Xu Zhiqian said again: "Come with me."
"Where are we going?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.
Xu Zhiqian said: "Didn't you say you were going to meet Li Si?"
Zhang Fei said: "Let's go now, it's getting late today!" As he said this, he looked up at the sky.
Xu Zhiqian said: "He is in Bianjing."
After saying that, she turned and left.
This woman is really like his father, a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She had obviously been helping Li Si all along, but now she felt very guilty towards Li Si. She caused Li Si to be beaten. On the other hand, she was worried that Chen Yuteng would do something bad to Li Si, so she simply brought Li Si to Bian Jing and now lives in Xiangguo Temple.
But Li Si's injury was not serious, just a few bamboo sticks hit his calf.
However, compared to this injury, what happened before him made Li Si feel even more terrified.
"Again... another contract?"
Li Si looked at Zhang Fei nervously, then at Xu Zhiqian.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Any contract you sign now will be a sure win."
"Don't listen to his nonsense."
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes at Zhang Fei, then placed the contract in front of Li Si and said, "I have checked it for you. There is no problem. As long as you sign this contract, he must give you one hundred strings of cash no matter what happens."
While speaking, she glanced at Zhang Fei from time to time, her eyes filled with confusion.
She checked the contract over and over again. According to the contract, as long as Li Si obeyed Zhang Fei's arrangement and went to Kaifeng Prefecture to file a complaint, Zhang Fei would have to pay Li Si one hundred strings of cash.
“How…how is this possible?”
Li Si was not only unhappy, but also a little scared.
One hundred strings of cash was an astronomical figure for him. He wouldn't even dare to dream of asking someone for help and having them give him money.
"It's entirely possible."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "But it doesn't mean that you can make this money just by lying down. You also need to do something."
Li Si asked, "What do I need to do?"
His voice was trembling. With only one hundred strings of cash, could he be an ordinary laborer
Zhang Fei said: "I heard that you also go fishing in the river to make a little money."
Li Si nodded woodenly.
Zhang Fei asked: "Then you must be good at swimming, right?"
Li Si hurriedly said: "The Bian River can't do anything to me."
"That'll do."
Zhang Fei nodded, and then said very easily: "You only need to do two things, which are very simple. First, commit suicide by jumping into the river, and second, turn yourself in. You don't need to use your brain for either, which is the best choice for you."
Not to mention Li Si, Xu Zhiqian's face turned pale after hearing this.
This money is really hard to make!
