Chapter XVI: Compensation
However, Zhao Ze has been an official for several years, and he is not helpless when he encounters this kind of thing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I saw that he immediately smiled and said with a pleasant face: "I didn't expect Yang Li that you are young, but you have such a study of the laws of the Cloud Kingdom, so how to deal with this matter, we can indeed have a good discussion." It's not a problem to stand here, so why don't we go and sit at your house?"
"But it's up to Lord Zhao to arrange. ”
Yang Li also smiled slightly, and at the same time made a "please" gesture, letting Zhao Ze walk in front.
Wang Chengde was stunned in place, and when he saw Zhao Ze and the others walking towards Yang Li's house, he didn't know whether to follow or leave first, and he couldn't help but look dazed.
Seeing this, Zhao Ze couldn't help but sigh in his heart: They are both fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, why is the gap between these two people so big?
However, this matter is related to his reputation and collection, and Zhao Ze had to do his best to solve it properly, so when he walked in front of Wang Chengde, he still commanded softly: "Come in with me, the family will stay around the house, and the rest of the people are not allowed to approach." ”
Hearing this, Wang Chengde faintly understood in his heart: Zhao Ze seemed to be criticizing himself on the surface, but in fact, he was raising it high and putting it down gently, deliberately favoring and defending himself.
Thinking about this clearly, Wang Chengde felt a little confident in his heart, nodded his head in agreement at the moment, and then asked the family to drive away all the onlookers according to the instructions.
While the villagers were reluctant to leave, many of them looked at Yang Li's family and said in an envious tone: "It would be great if Zhao Xian Ling could go to my house and let me have a little official spirit! Yang Li is really lucky!"
After a while, Zhao Ze and his party also came to Yang Li's house and sat down.
Zhao Ze undoubtedly sat at the top, Yang Li sat on the left, and Yang Yuyi returned to the inner room.
Wang Chengde also wanted to sit down and rest for a while, so as to rub his already sour thighs, but was stopped by Zhao Ze with his eyes.
I can't afford to use tea, and there are only two cups of water on the table, one is Zhao Ze's and one is Yang Li's.
Zhao Ze and Yang Li just sat quietly like this, except for useless greetings and kind words, no one spoke first. On the contrary, Wang Chengde on the side was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, eager to solve this matter.
Zhao Ze silently observed Yang Li's expression, but found that he had always been calm and unfazed, as if the two were really chatting.
"Yang Li, how do you want to deal with this matter? Of course, here I need to remind you first, you and Wang Chengde are classmates after all, and some things are too stiff, and the impact on the two of you will not be too good. ”
Zhao Ze sighed in his heart, and finally couldn't help but take the lead in speaking.
The dominant position of negotiation is not something that can be obtained by anyone who can endure it, but requires a comprehensive competition in all aspects such as momentum and mentality.
If Wang Chengde was sitting opposite, Zhao Ze only needed to snort coldly, and most of the other party would come over with a shy face, and then go straight to his own meaning.
Although a third-class candidate is rare, it is definitely not as good as Zhao Ze, who has become an elemental master and has a seventh-grade official position. The difference in status between the two sides is too great, and it is simply impossible for the weaker side to occupy an advantageous position.
Yang Li is different, in a sense, the status of the special candidate is slightly higher than that of a seventh-grade official. And the current situation is that Yang Li Zhanli and Wang Chengde are at a loss, and Zhao Ze wants to make peace with the mud, which is also on the weak side from a logical point of view.
"The law is the foundation of the country, how can I, a hairy boy who doesn't understand anything, understand how to deal with this matter? Everything is at the mercy of Lord Zhao's arrangement, and I believe that with Lord Zhao's ability, I will be able to handle this matter properly. ”
Yang Li smiled, never mentioning words such as "impartial law enforcement", but biting the word "proper" more heavily.
How Zhao Ze didn't understand the meaning of Yang Li's hint, he immediately smiled, and his expression suddenly relaxed a lot. Since the other party is not a stunned green who bites to death, the next thing is easy to say.
If Yang Li had a different attitude, he might have to consider some decisive means.
"Okay, then the official will give me a general idea now, and you can see if you can accept it. ”
Zhao Ze agreed with a smile, then turned to Wang Chengde and reprimanded sharply: "Wang Chengde, you openly attacked your classmates in front of the public this time, and the nature of the matter is extremely bad. If the punishment is strictly based on the relevant laws, you will be disqualified as a controller and exiled to the frontier for hard labor. You know that?"
"Students know what to do. Wang Chengde muttered in a low voice.
Zhao Ze saw that Wang Chengde only said such a sentence and finished the matter, and suddenly felt a little angry, but he still had to continue to follow the temptation and say: "Just one sentence to know the mistake is over? Yang Li has just experienced a threat to his life, if it weren't for the timely action of this official, you would still be standing here? I was wanted by Cangzhou a long time ago, and I was caught in the prison and fed to the mice!"
Wang Chengde suddenly understood, gritted his teeth and said, "Student...... The student union will come up with some gifts to compensate Yang Li!"
"Be specific!"
Zhao Ze was still not satisfied.
"The student is willing to pay three hundred taels of silver!"
Looking at Wang Chengde's gritted teeth, it seems that his heart is dripping blood.
This time, Zhao Ze did not express his position directly, nor did he speak, but looked at Yang Li.
As if he hadn't heard or seen anything, Yang Li continued to slowly taste his own cool white water.
Zhao Ze frowned slightly, and said to Wang Chengde again: "Three hundred taels is too little, killing a person with civilian status only needs to lose so much money." Yang Li, as your classmate, how can you show more sincerity. ”
Wang Chengde's eyes immediately widened and said, "Three hundred taels is still less, I ...... students."
Zhao Ze didn't allow him to continue, and said categorically: "Five hundred taels, take it out now!"
This time, Zhao Ze did not ask Yang Li's opinion again.
Since it is a negotiation, both sides have a bottom line, and it is impossible to blindly retreat weakly.
"Okay, okay, I'll take ......"
Wang Chengde saw that Zhao Ze showed signs of anger again, and quickly took out all the silver tickets on his body, and then put them on the table and began to count.
"Uh...... It seems to be only four hundred and sixty ......."
Wang Chengde looked embarrassed and looked at Zhao Ze again.
"I'll pay for the remaining forty taels. ”
While Zhao Ze said, he made a gesture to pay for it out of his own pocket.
However, Yang Li, who had been silent, saw this, but immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Master Zhao's money, how dare students put it in their own pockets? This less than forty taels is enough, as long as Brother Wang doesn't target me again in the future, I will be satisfied!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
Wang Chengde barely squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying.
Zhao Ze set up an eviction order for Yang, and said coldly: "If you know your mistakes, change them, you can go home!"
"Master Zhao, the student is leaving. ”
Wang Chengde wished he had left early, so he almost galloped out, then took his family and mounted his horse, and galloped away as if he had fled all the way.
When Wang Chengde walked away, Zhao Ze continued to say leisurely: "Yang Li, do you know why I came to Tuqiao Village in person?"
The voice was very small, and only he and Yang Li could hear it, which made Yang Yuyi, who was eavesdropping in the back room, frown slightly.
"Students understand. ”
Yang Li also glanced at Zhao Ze meaningfully, and also replied in a low voice: "But according to my guess, this matter has too much impact, and it should not be completely determined, otherwise you will not be the only one, Lord Zhao." ”
"Clever!"
Zhao Ze did not hide his appreciation, and said with a smile: "That's true, so now we can only give you the name of a third-class candidate for the time being, and the final approval still needs the approval of the imperial court." According to my estimate, in about seven days, you will receive an official document from the imperial court confirming your identity. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ze seemed to remember something, and asked softly: "Your sister Yang Yuyi knows all these things?"
Yang Li knew what Zhao Ze was worried about, and shook his head slightly.
"It's a big deal, and one less person knows about it, and it's right for you not to tell her, so that she herself is safer. After all, children are easy to talk about, and not everyone can be as young as you ......"
It is easy to talk to smart people, and Zhao Ze only feels a lot more comfortable in his heart.
Regarding Yang Li's own information, he had basically been able to inquire about it from Zhang Hu, so after continuing to greet him for a while, he got up and prepared to leave.
Yang Li didn't keep it, and got up to send it off.
Before leaving, Zhao Ze suddenly asked again, "When Wang Chengde first entered Tuqiao Village, were you deliberately provoking him? At first, I thought it was just a teenager's heart, and when things were surging, he only knew how to be tough, but judging from the series of performances in the back, it was not like your style of acting......
"Even if that's the case, do you think I'll admit it?" Yang Li asked with a smile.
Zhao Ze also smiled, no longer had any doubts in his heart, and strode away.
