Chapter 235: Continue to demand compensation
Li Yanzhi had no reason to stop anyone, but he was very unwilling to let the person go.
There was no answer to Shan Heng's words for a moment.
Seeing that their master didn't say anything, the people below naturally didn't dare to move.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Suddenly, when no one was prepared, an arrow shot straight into the carriage.
Shan Heng's reaction was fast, but he failed to catch the arrow.
Shan Li was one step faster than Shan Heng. When the arrow was about to penetrate the carriage, he grabbed the tip of the arrow with his bare hands, and the tail of the arrow trembled in the air.
Shan Li's eyes darkened, and he flipped his hand and threw the arrow. The arrow returned along its original path, but in a moment, there was a sound of someone falling to the ground.
Everyone looked over and saw that the archer had an arrow stuck in his neck that had just been shot and forcibly intercepted. The tail of the arrow was trembling in the air.
"The servants of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion are really brave. They dared to shoot arrows at the carriage of the General's Mansion. My Lord, I will ask the Marquis for an explanation on this matter!" Shan Li's voice was deeper than ever before.
That kind of hidden anger frightened Li Yanzhi.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!" Li Yanzhi no longer had the dandy look he had at the beginning, and hurriedly explained, "It was just a mistake by the servants, and they didn't mean to do anything."
"Besides, this man is already dead. Major General, please stop making things difficult for him, right?!"
It's really not appropriate to make a big deal about what happened tonight, as it would be difficult to resolve if we make a big deal about it.
"You said it so easily!" Shan Heng's heart almost stopped beating, and he just recovered. "If it weren't for my elder brother's strength, my elder sister-in-law would be the one injured now! If you say it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. If you say it's a mistake, it's a mistake!"
"I'm telling you, this matter is not over yet! I will meet the emperor tomorrow, and I want to let His Majesty know the style of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion! A servant actually dared to shoot arrows at the people of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. I don't know who he relied on!" After saying this, Shan Heng glared at Li Yanzhi fiercely.
Eyes full of disgust and anger!
"You..." Li Yanzhi was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
I hate that person who acted on his own in my heart!
If you're going to do it, do it cleanly. It would be fine if you really just shot the person in the car to death with one arrow.
If she really died, she was just a woman, just the daughter of the Shangshu family. If she died here, it would be considered to have caused discord between the two families. Even if it got out, it would just be someone else who would take the blame. Just fine her some random amount.
The Marquis' Mansion can still afford such a price.
However, in the current situation, not only has no one been hurt, but we have to face all kinds of subsequent troubles. It is really not worth it at all.
"'Don't be angry, brother.'"
Song Qingci's voice came from the carriage.
When the arrow came, she felt it immediately. If Shan Li hadn't intercepted it outside the carriage, the arrow wouldn't have been able to hurt her.
"This was just a servant who acted on his own initiative, and I was not really hurt. You should stop making trouble for the prince."
"But, sister-in-law! Are you going to let him off so easily? ! "They are right in this matter! Why don't they make a fuss about it?"
This will prevent anyone from daring to step on the General’s Mansion in the future!
"Hey, what you said is wrong, second brother. What do you mean by letting him go?" Song Qingci said in a relaxed tone, without any fear of surviving a disaster.
"'The prince must be uneasy when his subordinates make mistakes. If you continue to talk like this, the prince will be even more uneasy.'"
"Actually, I'm fine, I just have some palpitations."
"Madam, it is true that the servant was ignorant. I frightened you. I apologize to you." Li Yanzhi didn't know why the young lady of the general's mansion was helping him. But since others have given you a way out, you should get off quickly.
"You're welcome, Prince. It's just..."
Song Qingci deliberately stopped here, and when Li Yanzhi heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason, and he had a bad feeling.
Song Qingci's next words confirmed his premonition.
"It's just that I have palpitations, so I need to see a doctor and take various medicinal herbs. I'm afraid the cost will be high. This incident was caused by a servant of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion. I can't spend the money from the General's Mansion on my medical expenses, right? ! "
Li Yanzhi originally didn't know why this woman spoke to him, but now he understood.
She is trying to take advantage of the situation.
"What the young lady said is very true. I will send someone to deliver the herbs to your residence tomorrow. There are still many herbs suitable for warming and nourishing in the warehouse of Yongchang Marquis's residence." Li Yanzhi said reluctantly.
"No need to go to such trouble." Song Qingci didn't want medicinal herbs. She had plenty of them, so who would care about his. "Sir, just give me a farm, I won't mind."
"Tomorrow I will have someone go to the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion to find the prince's people to take over. There are three manors in total. I will go to these manors more often to relax when I have nothing to do. I think my palpitations will be cured soon."
Song Qingci would not give Li Yanzhi a chance to bargain.
She will not easily let go of anyone who dares to attack her.
The person who did it directly was already dead, and she was unharmed. Even if she really made a fuss, it would probably become a mess in the end, so it was better to ask for some benefits first.
She was now in need of a farm to grow crops. She had seen the farm of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion from the materials she had collected about the various noble families, and it was very good.
Then let him bleed.
"Although it was done by the servants on their own initiative, if it were to get out, it would be hard to predict what people outside would say. Prince, am I right? The reputation of the Yongchang Marquisate cannot be ruined because of this incident."
Aristocratic families value their reputation the most. Song Qingci didn't believe it. She had already taken a step back and didn't pursue the matter. She just wanted a manor, but she was reluctant to give it up to the Marquis of Yongchang.
If you really can't bear to let go, then don't blame her for her next move.
Li Yanzhi didn't expect that this woman actually asked for a farm again!
She is so good at robbing, could she have been a robber in her previous life?
Shan Heng originally felt uncomfortable when he heard his sister-in-law say that about him. Now, he feels comfortable!
He himself understood that even if he really reported the matter to Emperor Chengtian, the most he would do would be to reprimand the Yongchang Marquisate and then ask it to pay some silver as compensation.
The Yongchang Marquisate would be embarrassed, but they would not bleed so much.
The benefits are not as numerous as those of a manor.
My sister-in-law is really amazing. With just a few words, she took things in another direction.
