Soon, the carriage passed through the towering city gate, then drove along the winding road for half an hour, and was finally dozens of miles away from the imperial capital.
"Get off right here!"
After opening the curtain and taking a look at the scenery outside, Ye Chen said to the coachman: "Brother, please stop for a moment. Let's get off here!"
"Hello!"
The coachman responded cheerfully and immediately reined in the horse.
Ye Chen and others walked out of the carriage one after another.
"Brother, just go back!"
Ye Chen continued to speak to the driver.
"Sir, aren't you going to Dongque City?"
The coachman was surprised and said: "You gave me so much money before, how could you leave you here halfway?"
Not to mention the coachman, even Xiao Rong and Du Yuxiang looked puzzled.
When renting this carriage in the city, Ye Chen also said that the destination was Dongque City, five hundred miles away.
At that time, they thought that Ye Chen might not be able to fly in the air with the four weak women, so they chose to travel in a carriage.
Therefore, they were all mentally prepared for the long journey.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen actually asked the coachman to return on the spot.
Then how do they get to Dongque City, which is five hundred miles away?
Walking on foot?
Even if they are not afraid of hard work, they still have to be able to walk such a long distance.
The most important thing is that they are most afraid of causing trouble to Ye Chen and wasting Ye Chen's time.
"Miss Jin, Miss Li, you are relatively familiar with the young master. How about you two persuade him?"
Xiao Rong came close to Jin Lin and Li Fengyu and whispered: "Master himself can fly in the air, but the four of us are just weak women without the strength to restrain a chicken. If there is no carriage, it doesn't matter if we work harder.
I'm just afraid that the journey will be difficult for the young master."
"Uh...you're thinking too much!"
Jin Lin wiped his hands with cold sweat, "It's not as serious as you think!"
Li Fengyu on the other side couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't worry, since Ye Chen asked the coachman to go back, there must be a solution!"
"But……"
Xiao Rong wanted to say something else, but Ye Chen had already spoken again, "Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I really don't need it. This is the deposit I agreed to before, please keep it!"
While talking, Ye Chen took out a golden ticket from his space bracelet and handed it to the coachman.
"so much?"
The coachman was immediately flattered.
Because the denomination of the gold coupon Ye Chen handed over was one hundred thousand gold coins.
This is far more than the price they agreed upon!
Because he had only paid one thousand gold coins before, not only could he hire this large carriage composed of three horses, but he would also be responsible for all the food along the way from the imperial capital to Dongque City.
But Ye Chen directly gave him 10,000 gold coins.
Ten times higher than what he paid.
At that time, he knew that he had met a noble person!
Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the Imperial Capital, the other party gave him another hundred thousand gold coins, and he didn't have to drive him to Dongque City.
This is simply a piece of pie-in-the-sky good news!
The more this happened, the more he felt he deserved it.
"I am very grateful to you for your kindness, but..."
The coachman changed the topic and said with all his strength: "No reward for no merit, I am not the kind of person who is greedy. The ten thousand gold coins from you is already ten times more than the original price. If you pay more, even if you are willing, I will not be rewarded."
People can’t bear it!”
After a pause, he added: "So no matter what, the villain will definitely deliver you and the four ladies to their destination safely. Unless the villain falls first, the young master and the four ladies will never be harmed in the slightest.
harm!"
He said it with full sincerity and sincerity.
This can't help but surprise Ye Chen.
After sizing up the coachman, he said with great interest: "By the way, what's your name, little brother?"
Before that, he didn't care about this ordinary coachman.
But the other party's professional ethics and simple nature made him somewhat impressed.
People can have no ability, and they can live very humble lives, but they cannot have no bottom line!
In this morally corrupt world, this little rickshaw driver vividly embodies the brilliance of human nature, which is indeed very commendable.
"Sir, my name is Zhang Fan!"
The coachman responded respectfully.
"That's Zhang Fan!"
Ye Chenyi pointed out: "If you are willing, be my driver in the future!"
"Personal driver?"
Zhang Fan was startled at first, and then he was confused: "Sir, I can see that you are a noble person, and it is my honor to serve you. However, I am just a small coachman in a carriage rental shop, and our shopkeeper will not let you go.
The villain cannot decide for himself!"
"Then how much does it cost to terminate your employment relationship with your shopkeeper?"
Ye Chen asked.
"This... one hundred thousand gold coins!"
Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment and then said it, "According to the contract signed before, the villain must either work at the carriage rental company for ten years or pay out one hundred thousand gold coins in order to terminate the contract in advance!"
"That's it..."
Ye Chen thought for a while and took out a stack of gold tickets from the space bracelet, "This is ten million gold coins. In addition to redeeming yourself, you can also buy your shopkeeper's carriage rental company. From now on, you can be the shopkeeper yourself. Then,
Just serve me from now on, can you do that?"
"ah?
this……"
Zhang Fan was frightened and overwhelmed for a moment.
Ten million gold coins is simply an astronomical figure to him.
You must know that he works in a carriage rental company and his salary is only a dozen gold coins per month.
Therefore, since he signed the contract with the carriage rental company, he never thought about redeeming himself in advance.
I never expected that the noble man I met today was not only willing to spend money to redeem his life, but also asked him to buy the entire carriage rental business and make himself the shopkeeper.
He usually wouldn't even dare to dream about this kind of benefit.
"Is ten million enough?"
Just when he was so excited that he didn't know what to do, Ye Chen asked again.
"Enough is enough. It's just that a villain is so virtuous and capable that he really can't bear such a great favor from you, Master!"
Zhang Fan bowed to the end.
"As long as you are willing to serve me well in the future and have no second thoughts, you can bear it!"
Ye Chen forcibly handed the golden ticket to the other party's hand and said: "In addition, I still have many big things that I need you to help me complete in the future. If you really don't want to, I can only find someone else!"
"Of course this... villain is willing!"
Hearing that Ye Chen said that he wanted to find someone else, Zhang Fan didn't think much anymore and said bravely: "It's just that the villain is born stupid. I'm afraid that if he fails to succeed, he will fail more than he should, and he will miss your important event!"
The reason why he politely refused again and again was simply because he felt he couldn't afford such a favor.
Otherwise, this is a great opportunity for him to stand up and call the shots. How could he not be willing?
"It doesn't matter, just do your best!"
Ye Chen waved his hand and said: "You can return to the imperial capital immediately, use the money I just gave you to buy your boss's carriage rental agency, and then just listen to my instructions!"
