Old man Qi didn't have time to think about that at this time. He stared at his most respected eldest son and his most beloved granddaughter with round eyes, which made his liver ache.
But when it came to scolding, he really couldn't. He wanted to catch Yinzi and almost hurt Anzi. Even if he was present at the time, he would still have to fight with Fang, regardless of whether there were any government officials next to him.
Although he was thinking about it in his heart, his face was still cold, "How much did the Fang family lose?"
Qi Kangan and Qi Baoer looked at each other.
Qi Kang'an: Doesn't your father blame us for this?
Qi Baoer: I don’t know, why don’t you give it a try.
Qi Kangan: How to try?
Qi Baoer: Dad, you can do it.
Qi Kang'an: "..."
She is truly a daughter-in-law.
The eye contact between father and daughter lasted only a moment. Qi Kang'an knew that this matter could not be avoided, and he did not want to. Anyway, he felt that he was right. If his father really got angry with him, he would have something to say.
"Originally, we were trying to save General Wu's face, but Magistrate Lu wasn't a good friend of General Wu, and he took good care of us. Bao'er and I thought that we couldn't make things difficult for Magistrate Lu, and we didn't suffer much anyway.
.”
Unexpectedly, Magistrate Lu looked at a very elegant man and said he was so cruel when he opened his mouth that it was worth one hundred thousand taels. Young Master Fang's face was so dark that ink dripped from his face.
Nothing happened to the father and daughter during the whole process. Magistrate Lu and Mr. Fang kept going back and forth, bargaining starting from one hundred thousand taels, and finally the deal was made at sixty-five thousand taels.
Both father and daughter looked at each other in shock.
When Qi Kang'an got the banknote, no one came to his senses. He held the banknote blankly and wanted to leave. However, he was stopped by his daughter, who took out 40,000 taels of silver banknote and gave it to Magistrate Lu.
Magistrate Lu didn't seem to know what it meant to be polite. If you offered it to him, he would accept it happily with a calm face. Then he would send the father, daughter and Yinzai to the shore with great enthusiasm, and watch them get on the boat with his own eyes.
He also waved his big hands and watched them go away.
If he hadn't known that it was their first time meeting them, he would have misunderstood how familiar Lu Zhifu was with them.
but···
"Bao, why did you give Magistrate Lu so much money?"
Well, why don’t we compensate them? Yes, Magistrate Lu has done a great job, but even if we want to thank Magistrate Lu, there is no need to just give more than half of it?
With a "pop" sound, the old man Qi slapped Qi Kangan on the back of the head without any mercy.
"Is all this shit in your mind? How can someone like you, a magistrate, come here in such a hurry to save your face, and stand in front of someone who has offended someone to ask for compensation for you?"
Looking at Li, he has forgotten about four, five, and six. He has no idea of his identity?
Qi Kang'an clutched the back of his head and grimaced in pain, "Dad, please be gentle."
He is just a little clever. If his father does this again, he will be like his second brother.
Old man Qi was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned to Qi Bao'er and said, "My dear, you did the right thing. We don't care whether the prefect is sincere or fake towards us. Just because he is a friend of the young general, we should give him the money."
The friendship is between the young general and Magistrate Lu, not with us.
What's more, let's not forget the consequences caused by Yinzi running all the way on the street. Didn't you listen to the Yamen who said that he hit a stall and injured someone? Don't we want to pay compensation?"
Why did the Yatou specifically say this?
Is it okay that the person was just trying to save face and didn’t ask for compensation directly?
Qi Bao'er took a bite of the apple, turned his eyes sympathetically to his father, whose eyes were sore and red, and said to old man Qi:
"Sir, shopkeeper Zhao said that Magistrate Lu's father was Zhongshu Ling. He himself had a good relationship with the young general and seemed to be quite close to the current prince.
Master, it is only a matter of time for a person like this to return to the capital sooner or later. We are just a group of ordinary people, and there is no benefit in offending him."
Don't ask how it could rise to the point of offending someone. Who knows if this person is broad-minded or not? Maybe even a trivial matter will make him upset in his heart.
Moreover···
"He probably came here with the intention of helping us out. When he came, he saw that the Fang family had already suffered a loss, so he took advantage of this momentum to cheat the Fang family again."
Qi Kang'an finally came to his senses, "Bao, you mean, part of the compensation that Magistrate Lu asked from the Fang family was for him?"
Qibaoer: Uh...
"Dad, you said too much, but the meaning is almost the same. Otherwise, we will hurt the young master of the Fang family and damage the face of the Fang family. We are not powerful people, so why would we want to
compensation?
It’s not like Magistrate Lu owes me anything, and for Wu Haoyuan’s sake, he can just be a peacemaker and send us away safely, so why should I offend someone and ask for compensation?”
As her father said, the journey was a little too smooth. Could it be that it was so smooth that her father forgot that they were just a group of refugees who had not yet settled down?
"Dad, although there is only one aunt in the Fang family at the beginning, she is the aunt of the eldest grandson of the Duke of Qi. She is also the only aunt of the eldest grandson of the Duke of Qi who is pregnant with an heir. Prefect Lu doesn't need to be afraid, and neither does the young general. Dad, tell me, we want to
Are you afraid?"
Qi Kang'an's mind couldn't turn around for a moment, "Well, that treasure, isn't that what Aunt Fang is?"
Is the baby you are carrying in your belly really the eldest grandson of the Duke of Qi?
After hearing this, the old man Qi gave him an annoyed look, "It doesn't matter whether it is right or not. The Duke of Qi recognizes it, and he is not the same."
Just remember, what you did is exactly right. According to me, you are right in giving everything.
What kind of status does the Duke of Qi have? If they have a grudge against us, they don't even need to come forward themselves, just say it casually, can we still live a good life?
We gave most of the compensation to Magistrate Lu, and for the sake of the young general, Magistrate Lu would at least help us hide our whereabouts, and to be more honest, he might even prevent the Fang family from inquiring about us."
When people grow old, they become better, that is to say, praying to the old man.
Just listening to the father and daughter's stories, Old Man Qi knew what kind of existence the Fang family was in Pingcheng and what the Fang family's people were like.
This kind of person has a small belly and chicken intestines.
The eldest son and his obedient not only crippled the young master of the Fang family, but also greatly ruined the face of the Fang family. They may not care about the young master, but after ruining the face of the Fang family, the Fang family must be
Will find ways to earn face back.
If you know where they are going, you don't need anyone to show up. You just need to send a letter to that Aunt Fang, and then that Aunt Fang will mutter in front of the eldest grandson of Qi Guogong. Pillow style is a magical thing for some people.
Effect.
Similarly, there is no need for the eldest grandson of the Duke of Qi to come forward. As long as he murmurs in front of the people who want to curry favor with the Duke of Qi, they can't help but have people still at sea. There is already a group of people on the shore gearing up to make them survive and die.
.
Don't forget, they are just a group of refugees who don't even have a home now.
Qi Bao'er felt that her father was indeed a mature man. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Let's not talk about what to do next. There are about 400 of us. We should settle down first."
As for the future,,,
Maybe then the Fang family is suicidal?
Or maybe they, Lao Qi, will be lucky and no longer have to worry about the Duke of Qi's mansion.
How can you be sure about luck?
Qi Kang'an wasn't stupid, but he didn't understand what his father and daughter said. He didn't even dare to cover his head, and scratched his head at Old Qi and laughed.
