Chapter 23 Blackmail
"But if Shopkeeper Li thinks that profit is more important than reputation." Shopkeeper Li scolded Ding Rui seventy or eighty times when he heard this. But no matter how much he scolded, Ding Rui couldn't feel it.
"Brother is right, credibility is more important. I promised Zhang Xiucai before, two and a half coins or two and a half coins, it's all here." Shopkeeper Li clicked the money back and forth three or four times before handing the money to Zhang Xiucai.
Qing, Zhang Qing took the silver and snorted.
Shopkeeper Li thought that the matter would be settled after returning the money. However, the following scene made him almost vomit blood again!
Ding Rui stood up and pulled up Zhang Qing's sleeves, uncovering them completely. He saw a slap-sized piece of skin on Zhang Qing's arm that had been scratched and bleeding. He pulled it up again without haste.
Zhang Qing's other arm, although smaller than this one, was also bleeding. He glanced at Shopkeeper Li before putting down Zhang Qing's sleeve.
"Originally I wanted to take a look at Uncle Zhang's leg injury, but I'll let it go after thinking about it. Shopkeeper Li, you are a sensible person. If a person is beaten by you, the cost of the medicine..."
"Yes, yes, you should let us come out, Li Ji, bring us two coins." Shopkeeper Li was afraid that Ding Rui's lion would open his mouth and hurriedly interrupted Ding Rui.
I originally wanted to get more money, but I wasn't as smooth as this shopkeeper. No wonder this business is doing so well.
The waiter gave Zhang Qing two taels of silver, but Zhang Qing did not dare to accept it without Ding Rui's permission, because he knew that the young master's family would have trouble.
Sure enough, Ding Rui looked at the two coins and just sneered. He walked behind the counter, took out the wooden stick that had just been put away by shopkeeper Li, and said to shopkeeper Li:
"I'm not short of money. What I want is the word "reason". Of course, if shopkeeper Li gives the word "reason" today, then I can only imitate shopkeeper Li Er."
After saying that, he said "Hi" to the counter, and saw the counter crackle and instantly fall into pieces.
At this time, not only shopkeeper Li was stunned, Zhang Qing was stunned, but also Li Yingqiang, who had been guarding the door. He was born with supernatural power. One person could lift two adults. I didn't expect this child, 'gently'
In one fell swoop, the counter was in pieces.
Hearing the noise, everyone ran over to take a look. Everyone only saw Ding Rui holding a wooden stick and looking at shopkeeper Li casually. The counter of the grain store was reduced to pieces. Everyone was stunned.
If they thought it was a coincidence that Ding Rui saved Zhang Qing just now, whoever thinks so now is a fool.
Others looked relaxed, but Ding Rui was not relaxed at all. The counter force against him just now made his arms numb. If he had not observed cracks in the counter in advance and used Qiao Jin, would he have had the current effect?
Looking at everyone's stunned look, Ding Rui knew that his shock effect was achieved. "I wonder if Shopkeeper Li thinks that if Uncle Zhang is hit with a stick, he will still be alive?"
Shopkeeper Li shook his head subconsciously.
"Then do you think two pieces of silver can buy a life?"
Shopkeeper Li shook his head again. But this time he understood what Ding Rui meant. He took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Qing's hand. He felt it was not enough and took out another five taels.
Although he didn't know how much ten taels of silver was, looking at Zhang Qing's expression, Ding Rui knew it must be a lot.
Ding Rui will give up if he wants to see good things.
"Thank you so much, shopkeeper Li, but I don't know if the shopkeeper sells vegetable seeds here?" Ding Rui changed the subject, but shopkeeper Li didn't react for a long time.
"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Li knew that the matter had been settled, and Gao Xuan's heart finally came back.
Thinking about it, this child must have been trained by a famous nobleman. He will have a long time to deal with him in the future, so he must be a 'financier'. As soon as Ding Rui asked about vegetable seeds, he immediately brought them to the warehouse.
Ding Rui looked at it for a long time. In fact, he understood it completely. He just wanted to find vegetable seeds with short growth cycles that could cope with the situation in front of him. He looked left and right, and the more he looked, the less he understood.
But shopkeeper Li didn't know that. He thought he was an expert and kept picking and choosing. He originally wanted to use the ones from the year before last, but it didn't work out, so he had to take out all the best vegetable seeds.
Although Ding Rui didn't know how to pick seeds, he knew how to read people. One look at Shopkeeper Li's behavior and knew that he just wanted to fool him.
He whispered in Zhang Qing's ear for a while, Zhang Qing shook his head, whispered in Ding Rui's ear, and finally made a gesture to Ding Rui to wait, and went out.
Niu Er? Zhang Qing told Ding Rui that Niu Er's family has been growing vegetables for generations, and he is an expert.
Ding Rui always thought that the person named Niu Er must be a tall and powerful person. Unexpectedly, this Er Niu was very thin, but very smart. After coming in, without saying anything, he picked up dozens of kilograms of seeds and went out again.
Shopkeeper Li asked his waiter to wrap the seeds and gave some to Ding Rui. He did not enter the grain store until Ding Rui and his group could no longer be seen.
"Brother, why are you so humble to this bastard?" Li Yingqiang was very unconvinced.
"What the hell do you know? Didn't you see the dagger in this kid's hand? I'm a knowledgeable person, and I can't even figure out its origin. The carvings on the handle of the dagger are from Jinxiang jade. There's a jade stone randomly plucked from it.
, you can buy our store. This is a big customer."
Shopkeeper Li had his own wishful thinking, but he didn't know that this 'God of Wealth' would be his future 'God of Plague'.
Two hundred buckets of seeds, it was another uphill road back, but no one felt tired. Their faces were all red with excitement. If they weren't worried that the young master's family wouldn't be able to walk, they really wanted to run back immediately. But after walking for more than ten miles,
He found that the young master's family endured more hardship than they imagined. He never complained about hardship or tiredness along the way.
"Uncle Zhang, is your arm okay?" Ding Rui looked at Zhang Qing worriedly. In such a hot weather, he was afraid that the wound would become inflamed.
"It's okay, farmer, this little injury is nothing. If it weren't for my young master, my life would have been lost long ago. But I absolutely cannot ask for this money." Zhang Qing was still frightened when he mentioned what happened just now. But when he thought about the money,
He felt that the money should not be given to him.
Ding Rui was not polite, because now is the time when money is needed the most. "Uncle Zhang, keep the money in public funds. You will take it out when needed. You can take one tael of silver from it and it will be considered as your medical expenses."
Zhang Qing didn't know what medical expenses were, so he accepted them after Ding Rui's repeated requests.
Ding Rui didn't know that all the tenant farmers regarded him today as a legend. How he battled wits and courage with Shopkeeper Li, how he miraculously saved Zhang Qing, and how he scared the shit out of Shopkeeper Li's brothers.
.. ...
From then on, in the hearts of all the tenants, he was a god-like existence. Everyone looked up to him! This was also Ding Rui's unexpected gain.
Returning to Zhangjia'ao, they put the seeds down. Ding and Aunt Zhang had been waiting all day.
After drinking a few gulps of water, Ding Rui felt more comfortable. He ate hastily. Ding Rui couldn't wait to pull Ding into the house. Ding looked at Ding Rui inexplicably and tidied his messy hair with her hands.
