Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 497 I Ask You to Admit Your Mistake

Chu Pingsheng thought that this pair of brother and sister who were whores and virtuous were not as honest as Zhan Tongtong and Zhan Doudou from the world of Joy of Life.

"Or do you think three hundred thousand taels is not enough? It's not a small amount. If she were a princess, I could add a little more, but she is not. When you meet a poor guy, you have no feelings for him. You put the interests of the family first. When you meet someone you can blackmail, you change your excuses to maximize your profits, such as that feelings need to be cultivated slowly, or that you respect your sister's ideas. What's the difference between this and waiting for a good price? I just want to tear off your fig leaf, so I am a despicable villain? What about you, the Li family? A bunch of hypocrites?"

What does three hundred thousand taels of silver mean?
The purchasing power of one tael of silver in the Tang Dynasty is 200 in the st century. Three hundred thousand taels of silver is billion RMB. Which celebrity can't sleep with her? Isn't it said that ZL only spends million a night?

"Chai Shao!" Li Shimin's round face lengthened by three points, his eyes narrowed like two sharp knives, and just as he was about to scold, he heard a stern shout from the door: "Brother Shimin, don't beg this kind of person."

The two turned their heads and saw Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong breaking in together. Feeling that their goddess was offended and humiliated, the latter pushed Tuan, who was trying to stop them from entering the yard, hard. Tuan fell to the ground, grimacing in pain, and couldn't get up for a long time.

Chu Pingsheng frowned. He was not surprised by Kou Zhong's behavior. After practicing the Art of Immortality, one of them opened his eye power and the other opened his ear power. He did not lower his volume when talking to Li Shimin just now, so it was normal that Kou Zhong heard it.

"Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling?" Li Shimin was somewhat surprised that the two would come to Chai Mansion.

Xu Ziling nodded at him without saying anything.

Kou Zhong reached into his bosom, pulled out the golden armor and handed it to Chu Pingsheng: "Mr. Chai, don't you want the secret of immortality? Okay, I agree, three hundred thousand taels of silver, we'll pay the money and the goods."

"Kou Zhong, you... why do you have to do this? For the sake of our Li family..."

"Hey, Brother Shimin, please stop trying to persuade me. This is what I have discussed with Master Ling. This despicable guy is unwilling to help Xiuning, but I am willing."

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Xu Ziling.

"That's right, Brother Shimin. Master Zhong and I still have to rely on the power of the Li family to deal with Yu Wenzhi and avenge our mother. If the Li family falls because of this, who else can help us deal with Yu Wenzhi?"

"In that case, Shimin would like to thank the two brothers for their help on behalf of Xiuning and my father." Li Shimin's face was full of righteousness and he bowed to the ground.

Xu Ziling quickly helped him up: "Now we and the Li family can be said to be in the same boat. Brother Shimin, you are too polite."

"Wait." Chu Pingsheng said with a smile: "Li Shimin, it's too early for you to thank me."

All three of them looked puzzled.

Chu Pingsheng sneered, "You agreed to exchange the secret of immortality for silver, but I didn't agree."

"Chai Shao, you don't keep your promise!" Kou Zhong was furious and reached out to grab Chu Pingsheng by the collar.

He only took half a step back, and Kou Zhong missed.

"What a joke! You didn't even ask me to give you time to think about it. You just rejected me. Now you're actively looking for me to do business with you. I think my offer was too high. Isn't it normal for you to bargain?"

"you!"

Kou Zhong was so angry that he wanted to use force, but Xu Ziling stopped him and said, "Mr. Zhong, don't be impulsive. Chai Shao, what do you want?"

"It's simple. Go and admit your mistake to Tuan."

"Bow your head and admit your mistakes?"

Kou Zhong was furious: "You are dreaming."

"In that case, there is no deal. Please go back." Chu Pingsheng turned around, put his hands behind his back, and looked like he had said everything he wanted to say.

Xu Ziling said, "Chai Shao, you have to think clearly. There are many people in the world who covet the secret of immortality. As long as we brothers spread the word that we want to exchange it for silver, I don't know how many people are willing to make this deal with us."

"That's right." Kou Zhong said with a proud look on his face, "There are many rich people in this world, but there is only one person who has the secret of immortality."

"Heh, as far as I know, Yu Wenzhi is looking for the Longevity Secret, Yang Guang is looking for the Longevity Secret, and the people from the Demon Sect are also looking for the Longevity Secret." Chu Pingsheng still had his back to them: "If the Longevity Secret falls into the hands of those people, with your martial arts, you will most likely not be able to get it back. But if it falls into my hands, in your opinion, whether I can get it back is just a matter of time, am I right?"

Kou and Xu's faces changed at the same time.

That's exactly what they thought.

"You just said that the relationship with the Li family is a matter of mutual benefit. But with me, even if I don't make this deal, I won't lose anything. Tuan, show me around."

Chu Pingsheng waved his hand and walked towards the screen behind the main seat with paintings of the Four Gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

"Please, all three of you."

Tuan, who was wearing the standard short shirt for servants in the Chai residence, was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He hurried to the door, bowed and waved, signaling the three to leave quickly.

"Okay, I admit my mistake." Kou Zhong was also forced into a corner, so he took two steps forward and bowed his head.

Xu Ziling quickly pulled the man back, shook his head and looked at him, signaling him not to be so useless.

Li Shimin shouted at Chu Pingsheng's back, "Chai Shao, aren't you afraid that I will go find your father to comment on this matter?"

"Go ahead."

Chu Pingsheng said, "I was meeting guests in the front hall, and they broke into Chai's house. I was just doing what I should do, but was pushed to the ground by Kou Zhong. If I, as the master, turned a deaf ear and did not stand up for the servant, who would obey me in the future?"

When Tuan heard this, he looked over in shock.

Regardless of whether the young master was taking advantage of the situation or not, the servant was flattered by the above words. He bowed his head and said in a trembling voice, "Young master, I'm fine... I'm fine..."

"It's up to me to decide whether there is something wrong or not, not you."

"Yes……"

Tuan didn't dare to speak.

Li Shimin said, "Chai Shao, so you are determined to go against my Li family?"

"Li Shimin, your people came to my Chai Mansion to show off their power, but they kept saying that I was against your Li family? It seems that I am looking for trouble. It seems that the fine of 300,000 silver is still too light. Tomorrow I will go to see the emperor and let him judge the matter and see who is going too far."

Threat.

A naked threat.

Li Yuan was very powerful, but Chai Shen was also good. In terms of official position, he was only one level lower than Li Yuan, one was a duke and the other was a county duke.

Now Yang Guang was worried that he had no excuse to deal with the Li family. If Chai Shao went to complain at this time, it would be like handing a knife to Yu Wenzhi.

Kou Zhong knelt on one knee without saying a word, clasped his fists towards Tuan, and kept saying "I'm sorry" and "I shouldn't have done that". The servant was so frightened that he was in a panic and wanted to knock back. However, when his legs were halfway bent, he caught a glimpse of his own master's expression and was immediately startled. He changed from kneeling to supporting, and helped Kou Zhong up from the ground.

"Master Zhong!" Xu Ziling's face was full of hatred.

"In order to avenge my mother, this little humiliation is nothing." Kou Zhong consoled him and walked in front of Chu Pingsheng, with a rebellious face that said it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. "Are you satisfied now?"

Chu Pingsheng was speechless. How could this be considered humiliation? Isn't it normal to push someone down and then admit your mistake?

Oh, yes, in Shuanglong's opinion, they have now escaped the class of servants and slaves, and have become masters that even the Jinyang Li family wants to win over.

This can be proven by the fact that they caught deserters and tied them to pillars for public display, without thinking they were going too far.

Chu Pingsheng stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

"I advise you not to play tricks."

Kou Zhong slapped the golden armor containing the secret of longevity into his hand, narrowed his eyes, and spoke in a very cold voice.

"Don't worry. Although I'm a hard person to talk to, I have integrity in doing business. I'll send someone to deliver the silver to Duke Tang's mansion later."

"I don't think you dare to play tricks, let's go, Ling Shao."

Kou Zhongchong winked at Xu Ziling and strode out.

"Tuan, show the guest out."

"Yes, son."

Tuan walked up to Li Shimin and stood still. He didn't urge him, but his meaning was very clear.

"Chai Shao, you really disappoint me."

"Ah……"

Chu Pingsheng smiled politely, waved for him to leave, and then without even taking a step forward, he went to the back holding the golden armor.
