Chapter 29: Comfort money?
Seeing Aji knock Yue Gang down with just one pointer, Wang Ye immediately became energized.
He got up from the ground and said to the scoundrels in the store, "Have you all seen it? This is what happens to those who cause trouble in my Zuixianlou!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye acted arrogantly, as if he was the one who had knocked down these two men.
Seeing Wang Ye like this, Aji rolled his eyes.
What does shameless mean?
This is called shameless!
The person who just now was shouting for you to save him, now is showing off his power by taking advantage of the power of others.
This old money-grubber is truly shameless to the extreme.
After hearing Wang Ye's words, all the heroes present changed their heroic spirit and focused on eating without saying anything more.
Seeing these wanderers concentrating on eating, Wang Ye nodded.
He slowly came to Yue Gang and the big man, and stretched out his hand to feel around their bodies.
"Old miser, what are you doing?"
Looking at Wang Ye's appearance, Aji was shocked.
In broad daylight, in front of many gangsters, Wang Ye openly molested two grown men.
Could it be that Wang Ye is not only greedy for money and lustful, but also has that kind of hobby?
Seeing this scene, the other martial artists were speechless, but because of Aji's presence, they just focused on eating and dared not say anything.
"What are you yelling about? What are you yelling about?"
Seeing Ah Ji's shocked expression, Wang Ye said impatiently, "Paying for meals is only natural. These two people are now collapsed on the ground and can't take out the money. What's the problem with me coming to get it myself?"
It turned out that he was taking money...
After hearing Wang Ye's words, Aji secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really like snatching food from a dog's mouth and pulling teeth from a dead person's mouth. Wherever you go, you will show your true colors of a money-grubber!"
"Hey, you little bastard!"
After hearing what Aji said, Wang Ye said, "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. How can I run such a big inn without careful budgeting?"
As he spoke, Wang Ye took out the money bag from the big man, opened it and said, "The meat and wine cost three taels of silver in total, but you tried to attack me and scared me, so I can't let you off the hook!"
"I'll give you an extra seventeen taels of silver as a consolation fee, a total of twenty taels of silver!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye took out a small ingot of silver from the big man's purse and put it in his pocket.
Comfort money!?
After hearing Wang Ye's words, everyone present felt refreshed.
They have been in the business world for many years, but this is the first time they have heard of the term "consolation money"!
Having said this, Wang Ye turned around and came to Yue Gang.
"You are the most ruthless one. You almost pierced my head with your sword just now. What happened today was all because of you."
"For causing trouble, as well as the consolation fee, plus the drinks and side dishes, I'll charge you fifty taels of silver in total!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye took out fifty taels of silver from Yue Gang's purse.
! ! !
Seeing the scene in front of him, Aji's face was full of shock.
In order to collect money, they set up so many excuses and took away seventy taels of silver from two people. This method made Aji's eyes widen.
He looked at Wang Ye in front of him and said, "Old money-grubber, old money-grubber, it's a good thing you only opened an inn."
"If you become an official in the imperial court, you will definitely have a bright future!"
"This method of extorting money by making up all sorts of excuses is enough to make even the most corrupt official in the dynasty call him Master!"
"I bother!"
After hearing what Aji said, Wang Ye spat: "Even the No. 1 corrupt official has to call me Master. Let me tell you, I am an honest and decent citizen!"
Good citizen?
Are there any honest people in this world who would lie on people's bodies and try to steal their money?
After hearing Wang Ye's words, everyone present thought secretly in their hearts, but no one dared to stand up and say anything.
After all, with the previous experience of Yue Gang and the big man, no one wanted to be lied on by Wang Ye and collect a consolation fee.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore."
After weighing the money in his hand for a while, Wang Ye put it directly into his arms and said, "You keep an eye on the store, I'm going to go out for a while!"
"Again!?"
After hearing Wang Ye's words, Aji's face changed: "You old money-grubber, you are addicted to being a hands-off shopkeeper, aren't you?"
"With so many people gone, how can I collect the money, not to mention other things?"
Aji deeply detests Wang Ye's behavior.
"Why can't we collect it? Ask everyone here, is there anyone who would skip the meal money of just a few taels of silver?"
At this time, Wang Ye spoke.
"Uh... I don't dare... I don't dare"
After these words were spoken, the rest of the people in the martial arts world shook their heads.
The lesson from the previous incident has already been laid on the ground, unable to move. Who would dare to go up and break the taboo at this time?
"Did you see it?"
After hearing what the people in the martial arts world said, Wang Ye said, "I'll be back soon!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye took square steps and slowly left under Aji's resentful gaze.
…
After leaving Zuixianlou, Wang Ye turned several corners and finally arrived at Moxiangzhai in the East Market of Jinling City.
Moxiangzhai is the place where literati in Jinling City buy the four treasures of the study and calligraphy and paintings.
The boss Zhang Anshun has beautiful calligraphy. When he has nothing to do, he helps people make plaques. The three characters of Wang Ye Zuixianlou were also written by Zhang Anshun.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Wang"
As soon as he stepped into Moxiangzhai, Zhang Anshun, who was dressed in a green shirt, walked forward slowly, bowed and said, "What a rare guest!"
"Why? Are you here to write an inscription again?"
"Boss Zhang is really smart, he guessed it right at once"
Seeing the man, Wang Ye bowed and said, "I came here to ask Boss Zhang to write a calligraphy for me so that I can frame it on the wall for decoration."
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Zhang Anshun laughed out loud and said, "I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Wang is such an elegant person. This won't be difficult."
"I just don't know what kind of words does Shopkeeper Wang want me to write?"
"Simple!"
Looking at Zhang Andong in front of him, Wang Ye showed a smile on his face: "I will not mention poetry or songs this time, I just want Boss Zhang to write a sentence for me..."
As he spoke, Wang Ye whispered a few words into Zhang Anshun's ear.
"this!?"
Hearing this, Zhang Anshun looked embarrassed: "Manager Wang, are you sure you want to write this?"
"Sure!"
Looking at Zhang Anshun's face, Wang Ye said, "Boss Zhang, just write it. The rest is my business."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on Wang Ye's face.
