“Thirty thousand taels?”
After the time it took for three incense sticks to burn, Lin Yuelan was once again invited to Zhou Anping’s house by the head of the Zhou Residence’s guards.
As soon as they entered the house, Zhou Anping said that he would not write the contract of guarantee. However, he could compensate Lin Yuelan in other ways as an apology.
However, when she heard the amount of compensation they offered, Lin Yuelan immediately found it ridiculous.
She asked with a half-smile, ” Lord Zhou, are you saying that you intend to use 30,000 taels as compensation?
Zhou Anping and Housekeeper Zhou looked at the mysterious smile and felt very uncomfortable. However, they had no choice but to endure it.
Housekeeper Zhou answered on behalf of Zhou Anping. This time, his attitude was respectful.
He said, ” Doctor Lin, this 30,000 taels of silver is our apology and compensation to Doctor Lin. Furthermore, hasn’t Doctor Lin suffered not any losses?
Lin Yuelan waved her hand. She couldn’t agree with Housekeeper Zhou’s explanation and said, ” Housekeeper Zhou, it seems that Lord Zhou’s life is only worth 30,000 taels? ‘
“Ah?” Housekeeper Zhou and Zhou Anping were stunned at first, but they immediately understood what Lin Yuelan meant.
Housekeeper Zhou retorted loudly, ” Of course, Your Excellency’s life is worth more than 30,000 taels!
Lin Yuelan nodded to show that she understood. Then, she said, ” In that case, you mean that the 30,000 taels of silver are compensation and an apology. As for the consultation fee, it’ll be paid separately, right? ‘
When they had discussed it previously, they had never thought about paying the consultation fee.
“Alright then. Since you want to pay, I won’t refuse. However, you should know that I will not take a single copper from the poor. For the rich, she will treat them according to their condition!”
Housekeeper Zhou had naturally heard of Lin Yuelan’s principle of saving people
“There are also three peoples that I don’t save. I don’t save corrupt officials who oppress the people. Those who are unpardonable are not saved. Third, it depends on my mood. If I’m in a good mood, I might save him. If I’m in a bad mood, I won’t save him! So, Milord, do you think I’ll save you?” Lin Yuelan asked indifferently.
These words were obviously insulting.
She was saying that Zhou Anping was a corrupt official or an unpardonable criminal.
Butler Zhou shouted angrily, ” Doctor Lin, please watch your words!
Then, he took a deep breath and asked directly, Just tell me, how much do you want for you to save my lord? ‘
Lin Yuelan also extended three fingers.
“Thirty thousand taels?” Housekeeper Zhou asked suspiciously.
Would it be so low?
Lin Yuelan shook her head.
“130,000 taels?” Housekeeper Zhou asked in surprise.
This price was a little high.
It wasn’t that the Governor-General’s Estate couldn’t afford it, but they were unwilling to give it to Lin Yuelan, a junior physician.
However, to Housekeeper Zhou’s surprise, Lin Yuelan still shook her head. Housekeeper Zhou could not help but ask, ” How much is it? ‘
“Three hundred thousand taels of silver!” Lin Yuelan answered, ” Adding on the 30,000 taels of silver that you guys offered as financial and mental compensation, the total is 330,000 taels of silver! In that case, I can give up on the so-called guarantee contract from before!”
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, Housekeeper Zhou and Zhou Anping almost vomited blood.
Housekeeper Zhou and Zhou Anping looked at Lin Yuelan in shock when they heard the astronomical figure.
Then, Zhou Anping rejected it without thinking, Impossible! ‘
The Governor’s Office was not a merchant but an official who received a salary from the court.
If they took out so much money and gave it to such a doctor, once the news spread, they would definitely think that he was a corrupt official who took bribes and bullied the people.
Then, he might even lose his head. He might even implicate the entire family. Moreover, he was a dignified second-grade official. He could not accept being extorted for money.
Lin Yuelan had expected Zhou Anping to refuse.. She sneered and said, ” When you schemed against Chen Shanbiao and his son, didn’t you also ask a small businessman like him to pay 300,000 taels of silver? Otherwise, would he have to pay with the Gold Origin Auction House? I’m only returning this number to you, Lord Zhou!”
