Chapter 528 Talking about compensation
Gui Ge'er looked at Sun Shan anxiously. He knew that Sun Shan wanted to speak, but he couldn't.
I was stupid and couldn't understand what Sun Shan meant, so I could only look at him anxiously.
Lu Yuming asked in a low voice: "Brother Sun, do you want compensation for this matter? If so, please blink twice."
Sun Shan blinked twice.
Lu Yuming and Chen Dongling looked at each other, and at that moment, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Mibo looked at Sun Shan in disbelief and wanted to say something, but was held back by Brother Chen San.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Gui Geer immediately said, "My brother Shan must have his reasons for doing this. He is just speechless now and cannot explain to everyone."
Gui Ge'er believed in Sun Shan unconditionally and knew that he must have a reason for doing so, and it must be a convincing reason.
Their brother Shan is so smart that the decision he makes will definitely be the best one.
He Shujun never thought that Sun Shan would ask for money.
He wanted Sun Shan to fight to the end and seek justice for himself, but he was also afraid that Sun Shan would offend others if he fought to the end.
Now Sun Shan has chosen to keep quiet. It is disappointing, but if Sun Shan chooses to fight to the end, he would probably be scared.
He Shujun asked, "Ashan, are you afraid of offending the Xu family by doing this?"
Sun Shan wanted to open his mouth to speak, but his entire mouth was paralyzed and he couldn't utter a word.
I could only make a "woooooo~" sound, so I simply chose not to make any sound and just signal with my eyes.
Chen Mibo muttered unconvincedly: "Is the Xu family so great? Can we just use money to solve our mistakes?"
Brother Chen San couldn't stand it and slapped him hard on the back. If he was his younger brother, he would have slapped him on the face.
What's so great about the Xu family? The Xu family is indeed great.
He is favored by the emperor and is a duke. How can a scholar like you compare to him? You really don't know what is good for you.
Besides, this incident was just an accident, and the Xu family did not intentionally poison Sun Shan. Therefore, Duke Xu cannot be convicted no matter what.
The most that could happen is that all the people in the inn would be arrested and put in jail.
But does it make sense to do so?
Especially in Jinling, the Xu family is a local tyrant. Although they dare not kill a juren openly, they use countless dirty tricks behind the scenes.
Sun Shan has no power or influence, and if he offends the Xu family, he will probably end up in a bad way.
Even if they all fought to the end together, they could only kill 200 enemies and lose 1000 of their own.
It's not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.
Brother Chen San also hoped that Sun Shan would pay compensation to settle the matter.
Chen Dongling knew that Sun Shan had no intention of pursuing the matter, so the next thing would be easy to handle.
Chen Dongling is a businessman, so naturally he has to bargain.
Although the 5000 taels given by the Xu family was not a small amount, who would complain about having too much silver?
He walked up, looked at Sun Shan and said, "Brother Sun, since you choose to keep quiet, let's make it clear with the Xu family. I will help you get more compensation."
When Sun Shan heard this, his eyes lit up.
Oh, Chen Dongling is indeed a big businessman and can best understand people's hearts.
Sun Shan accepted the compensation, but wanted more.
5000 taels is a lot, but he is very greedy, so he would not hesitate to negotiate for taels.
If he could speak or write, he would have expressed his demands long ago.
Now he can't do anything. He really hopes there is someone who can be a worm in his stomach and know what he is thinking.
It was obvious that Gui Ge'er, Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali could not communicate with him, and Sun Shan was very anxious.
Fortunately, Chen Dongling understood what he meant.
Sun Shan thought that since he was so miserable, he must get more benefits, otherwise it would be unworthy of the suffering he had endured.
Especially having his heart fed with feces, this will be a shadow in his life and he will never forget it until his death.
As for fighting the Xu family to the end, he never thought about it. If the Xu family had a grudge against him, they would just fight to the death. The fact is that the Xu family had no reason to fight him, it was completely an accident.
No matter how narrow-minded he is, he will weigh the pros and cons and fight to the death with the Xu family. I am afraid that even if he dies, the Xu family will not die.
This doesn't count!
Chen Dongling said again: "Brother Sun, do you agree to let me handle this matter? If you agree, just blink twice."
Sun Shan blinked twice without thinking.
Chen Dongling is the most decision-making and experienced person here, so it is best to leave it to him.
Chen Dongling nodded and said, "Brother Sun, I will definitely help you negotiate properly."
There was light in Sun Shan's eyes as he looked at Chen Dongling with gratitude.
The other candidates stared at Chen Dongling and Sun Shan in amazement.
Why did Chen Dongling understand what Sun Shan wanted? Why didn't he understand?
And Sun Shan seemed to want more money. He felt that 5000 taels was too little and was not satisfied.
Did Sun Shan want Chen Dongling, a businessman, to negotiate the "deal" for him?
When did Sun Shan become tainted with the smell of money?
Could it be that I have been with Chen Dongling so often that I was infected by him?
He Shujun never thought that Sun Shan loved money so much, as if money could buy him off.
Could it be that Third Grandpa was blinded by a titmouse when he was old and he mistook the wrong person?
Where is the integrity of scholars? Where is the moral integrity of scholars?
If Sun Shan knew that everyone was thinking this way, he would definitely slap them in the face. Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, everything costs money. What's the smell of copper? It smells so good!
Lu Yuming thought about it and decided to speak well of Sun Shan, since they were from the same hometown and were of the same age.
I tried to explain: "I think Brother Sun chose to keep quiet because he didn't want to implicate us. Think about it, our main mission this time is to go to Beijing for the imperial examination. If this accident happened, if we want to sue the Xu family, not to mention the energy, this case will not be settled in half a month. We really don't have time to waste here. Brother Sun doesn't want to delay our examination."
Sun Shan really wanted to nod. Lu Yuming said it well.
He did not want to delay their trip to Beijing for the imperial examination. It was not because Sun Shan was thinking about others, but because he was afraid that his affairs would delay his companions and make them miss the examination.
After a long time, he will definitely resent Sun Shan.
Sun Shan will not end up well either, so it is better not to trouble others and let others blame him in the end.
Everyone watched Sun Shan blink and even blink twice, proving that Sun Shan thought so, and they couldn't help but be moved.
Lu Yuming continued to speak for Sun Shan: "Brother Sun asked Brother Lu to negotiate for more compensation, not only for himself, but also for his parents and family. To put it bluntly, if Brother Sun has something wrong in the future, it would be good to leave some money for his parents. If Brother Sun is fine, this money can also help more people.
Last time, Sun Shan used his reward money to buy buns for the porters. This time, he risked his life to get more money, so that he could help more poor people in the future.
Brother Sun, be kind and righteous! "
Sun Shan thought so too. Lu Yuming was indeed a fellow villager and the top candidate. It was a great thing to have a smart fellow villager.
But the latter part can be left unsaid. He will not use his money to help others. He himself is a pauper.
Get rich first, then find ways to help others get rich.
Everyone thought about it and realized that among the people present, Sun Shan's family had the worst economic conditions. It was said that they only had a dozen acres of good land. Compared with their hundreds or thousands of acres of land, that was not even worth looking at.
What would his parents do if something happened to Sun Shan?
I can only use money to support my retirement.
Moreover, if Sun Shan is never cured and continues to be sick, he will still have to spend money on medical treatment. With this sum of money, he will not have to worry about not being able to afford medical treatment.
Thinking of this, even Chen Mi Bo began to understand why he wanted money.
After everyone understood what Sun Shan meant, they knew what to do.
The next morning, Chen Dongling led a group of candidates to the yamen again.
When I came back in the afternoon, Chen Dongling had already completed the negotiation.
The compensation was 6000 taels, a small courtyard in Jinling, and all the expenses of the imperial physician were covered.
As for the inn, how the inn staff would be dealt with would be entirely up to the Xu family, and Sun Shan would no longer interfere.
