Chapter Seventy-One: Oath
After a while, the two finished their discussions.
Steward Shi and another deputy in charge of managing the caravan went to take stock of the caravan's losses, leaving Zhao Ting alone to walk to the side of the wild waves.
"Hehe, brother," Wild Waves sneered, "I just took a look at your carriage, and there are not many damaged places, and it can still be repaired." ”
"Xiu?" Zhao Ting sneered, this person was a little uninteresting, "Even if the broken mirror is reunited, can it still be the original appearance?"
Wild Waves shook his head again and again, explaining: "No, no, brother, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. ”
As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his arms, stuffed them to Zhao Ting, and said, "I mean, I will be responsible for what I did wrong." As for the carriage, I'll fix it for you. As for the shock and damage caused to you on the mental level, I will also use money to make up for it. ”
"What do you see......?"
Zhao Ting quietly put the pile of silver tickets into his arms, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Since you are so sincere, then I will not blame the past." ”
Hearing this, the waves were overjoyed and asked, "Then dare to ask Brother Tai, after I repair the carriage...... Isn't it okay to go?"
"Eh, don't worry," Zhao Ting glanced at him lightly, "You just made up for my losses, but you haven't compensated for the caravan's losses yet, you can leave after compensating for the caravan's losses." ”
The corners of Wild Wave's mouth twitched slightly, and his heart twitched in pain.
O iniquity!
With a slight sigh in his heart, he cautiously asked, "...... the loss of the caravan?"
Zhao Ting turned his head and glanced at it, and said, "The loss of the caravan is still being calculated, and when he is calculated, he will naturally come over and share it with you, you just have to prepare the silver ticket." ”
“......”
Half a day.
The stone steward walked over with a gloomy face and a man dressed as a middle-aged scribe.
He first nodded to Zhao Ting, and then said coldly: "Huang Quan, read the total losses of our caravan to him." ”
The middle-aged scribe arched his hand and said, "Yes." ”
"Of the sixty-five horses, five were dead and eleven wounded. Three of the wagons were completely damaged and two were slightly damaged......"
"And ...... Three brothers also died, eight lightly wounded and one seriously wounded. ”
"The cost of the horses, the cost of the wagon, the cost of the wrecked goods on the carriage, and the pension of the brothers who died and were wounded, amounted to twenty-one thousand three hundred and twelve twenty-four dollars. ”
Hearing this terrifying number, Wild Wave's eyes widened, jumped up, and asked, "Nonsense, how can there be so many?
Steward Shi looked at him coldly and replied, "The carriage is not made of gold, but the lives of our caravan brothers are all more precious than gold. ”
"If you have three brothers who have died, you will receive 5,000 taels each, and the brother who is seriously injured will receive you 1,000 taels, and those who are slightly injured will receive 100 taels each. ”
Hearing this, Wild Waves sneered and said, "Shi Jian, don't take me Wild Waves for fools, this year, twenty taels is enough to buy a life." Those brothers of yours were only slightly injured, and you actually asked me for a hundred taels?"
"You're afraid you're not crazy, aren't you?"
Steward Shi was scolded by him, and he was not angry, but just turned his head to look at Zhao Ting.
Zhao Ting glanced at the wild waves, and followed the temptation: "Wild waves, originally, according to the meaning of the stone steward, he wanted to kill you to avenge his dead brother." ”
"It's only because I don't want to contaminate human life, I persuaded him for a long time, and then he relented, as long as you compensate him for his losses, he will no longer pursue this matter, and the Fuyun caravan will not pursue this matter to you in the future, this is what he personally promised me. ”
"Right, Steward Stone?"
Hearing this, the stone steward nodded and did not speak.
Seeing Zhao Ting speak, Wild Wave's face suddenly became a little ugly, and after a while, he said: "However, this lion opened his mouth widely, and my two brothers couldn't raise so much money for a while." ”
Zhao Ting smiled kindly and asked, "Then how much can you raise now?"
"At most, 10,000 taels, and you have to pay for it. ”
"That's okay," Zhao Ting finalized the matter, "10,000 taels is 10,000 taels, I'll make the decision for you, as long as you can come up with 10,000 taels, you and Shi Steward will forget about it." ”
"No problem, right?"
Steward Shi raised his eyebrows and cooperated: "Well, the old man can accept it." ”
"Okay! Get the money, Wild Waves. ”
Looking at Zhao Ting's unusually sincere eyes, Wild Waves finally chose to believe him and groped for himself.
After groping my whole body, there is still a lot of difference. He also searched his second brother "Cloud Turning Sword" Tengyun's belongings all over his body.
"There are still two thousand taels, two thousand taels...... Well, there it is. Wild Wave's gaze fell on Tengyun's broadsword.
It was this broadsword that was poked into it fiercely, well, don't talk about it.
As soon as I saw this sword, the wild waves were angry!
That part of him was still in pain, and even the underside of his robe was stained red.
"Bang Dang"!
Taking advantage of Tengyun's coma, Wild Waves took Tengyun's "Cloud Turning Sword" and threw it at the feet of the stone steward, and said coldly: "This is my second brother's famous weapon" Cloud Turning Sword", the sword body is made of black meteorite fine iron, it is integrated, if you take it to the pawnshop as a mortgage, it can be exchanged for at least 5,000 taels. ”
"I'll take this sword against the remaining two thousand taels. ”
While talking about the wild waves, he secretly thought in his heart: "Second brother, second brother, don't blame the eldest brother." When you have money in the future, my brother is rebuilding a new "Cloud Turning Sword" for you. ”
Steward Shi picked up the "Cloud Turning Sword" from the ground, looked at it carefully, showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and said, "Okay, the money is in place, let's clear the two." ”
As he spoke, he turned and walked away without looking back.
Seeing this, Lang Lang was overjoyed in his heart, looked up at Zhao Ting, and asked carefully, "Brother Tai, can I leave now?"
"Eh, there's no hurry. Zhao Ting smiled kindly, "You forgot, you haven't helped me repair the carriage yet." ”
"Oh," Wild Wave suddenly remembered that there was still this matter, he glanced at Zhao Ting, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai, don't worry, I was a carpenter before I fell into the grass, and I still have two hands on carpentry work." ”
"Give me half an hour, and give you a new carriage. ”
Half an hour later.
Outside the carriage of a repaired carriage with almost no traces, Wild Waves looked at Zhao Tingmei and smiled: "Brother Tai, how do you see the effect of this repair?"
"Yes, it's really you," Zhao Ting praised him, "Well, that's it, Langlang, my original driver didn't drive very steadily, and I was very uncomfortable all the way." Why don't you help me drive, and when I get to Danyang County, you can go." ”
"And I'm also thinking about you, you think, there are many medical centers in Danyang County, and you can also treat your injuries there. ”
Wild Wave hesitated for a moment, and said euphemistically: "Brother Tai, I really can't do this job as a coachman, or you still ......."
"Are you trying to refuse my kindness?" Zhao Ting looked cold and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No, no, that's not what I meant," Wild Waves shook his head again and again, "It's just that Brother Tai also said that you will let me go when the carriage is repaired, but now there are branches again, I really don't know which ...... you to believe."
Seeing this, Zhao Ting's face changed, changed his smile, and said kindly: "Wild waves, my Zhou Yuan has always been a spit and a nail when he speaks, don't you believe in my character?"
"I ......" Wild Wave wanted to say "I don't believe it", but after hesitating for a long time, he spit out two words with difficulty: "I believe!"
"But, can you give me a word of approval, when will I let my two brothers go?"
Listening to these questioning words, Zhao Ting knew that the wild waves had lost all trust in him.
So he raised four fingers with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "I, Zhou Yuan, swear to the sky, if I don't let go of the waves when I arrive in Danshan County, then let the soles of my feet flow pus, my buttocks will have sores, I will not give birth to a son, and I will marry a wife with a child." ”
"Well, do you believe it now?"
Seeing that his expression was so solemn and the oath he made was so vicious, Wild Waves suddenly believed it in his heart and nodded slightly.
