Royal Little Fortune

Chapter 517 Extortion
After the boss heard this, he immediately knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, my lord."

They are all ordinary people living at the bottom. There are a lot of dignitaries in Beijing. People outside joked that a brick falling from the sky may hit an official. This is evident.

Therefore, these gorgeously dressed people are not something they can offend. If their son soiled their clothes, it is not just as simple as paying money, but it is very likely that the family will be ruined. He is very grateful.

Why didn't Jiang Boxu care about it?Because he is an orphan, he lived a lot of hard times when he was a child, and he started to help work when he was younger than this child, in order to make ends meet, and he would not starve to death. If he hadn’t met Master, he might not have known where to beg in his life Or work as a coolie, so he has special sympathy for those children who have had to work for their livelihood since childhood.

The cloth shop just opened, and the shopkeeper was planning to drive away the stalls at the door. Unexpectedly, there was business. He immediately came forward and smiled while bowing: "What do you need, sir? Just tell me, our cloth Although Zhuang is not the best in the capital, it is quite good, and there are quite a lot of ready-made clothes in it, you can choose slowly."

The shopkeeper's sharp eyes, of course, saw that Jiang Boxu's clothes were dirty, but at the same time, he also understood that he would definitely be able to open a business today.

"Where are the ready-made clothes? Get some suits that suit me." Jiang Boxu said lightly.

He didn't have a good impression of this cloth shop, because they raised the price of the stalls for the poor old father and young children who set up stalls at the door, making it even more difficult for the poor to make a living.

If his clothes weren't dirty and there was only this cloth shop nearby, he wouldn't have come in at all.

"Yes, young master!" The shopkeeper quickly responded, and immediately went to the back to get a few sets of clothes and robes that fit Jiang Boxu's size.

Jiang Boxu found that the materials of these ready-made clothes were mediocre, the embroidery was mediocre, and the workmanship was a little rough, so he couldn't help but frowned, but he didn't say anything, anyway, he just wore them casually, and just went back to change clothes later.

"This one." Jiang Boxu pointed to one of the dark blue robes embroidered with green bamboo leaves on the hem of the cuffs, and whispered.

"Okay, young master, please change your clothes later!" The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Jiang Boxu nodded when he heard the words, and after going to the back to change the dirty clothes on his body, he was ready to give in to Bu Kai and pay the bill.

"How much money?" Bu Kai asked in a low voice.

"120 taels of silver." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"What?" Jiang Boxu frowned immediately when he heard that. The clothes cost 20 taels at most, but the shopkeeper actually asked for 120 taels, so why not grab it.

"Shopkeeper, our family is also in business. Although your clothes are made of silk, the material is not very good, and the needlework is not so good. Ten taels of silver, no more!" Jiang Boxu said with a frown.

"My lord, are you kidding me, which tailor shop in the capital only needs ten taels of silver for a robe made of silk? If there is one, let them deliver it, and we can buy as many as there are!" the shopkeeper bowed and said.

Jiang Boxu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, thinking to himself that the prices in the capital should be higher than other places, so there must be something different, so he said in a low voice, "Then 20 taels of silver, and Bu Kai will pay for it."

"Yes!" Bu Kai replied, and hurriedly prepared to pay the bill.

"My lord, I have just said, 120 taels of silver, less than one tael, I won't sell it!" The shopkeeper immediately stood up straight and said with some arrogance.

After Jiang Boxu heard this, he was really angry. This is clearly a scam.

Do you really think that young master can do without clothes today?At worst, he can continue to wear his dirty robe and go back to change. Anyway, no one will see him when he gets on the carriage.

It's not that he is short of this little money. Over the years, his savings can only be described as "rich". A mere hundred taels of silver is not enough to put between his teeth. The key is that he can't be taken advantage of!

These people are obviously cheating.

"Then don't buy it!" Jiang Boxu cast a cold glance at the shopkeeper, and planned to take off his clothes and leave.

"This is impossible!" The shopkeeper immediately stopped Jiang Boxu, not allowing him to go in and take off his clothes, and said with a sneer, "I'm afraid you are not from our capital, sir? The accent sounds like someone from the south, sir, this cloth shop in Beijing is engaged in clothing business There is a rule that you can't take it off, but if you take it off, who do I sell it to? The high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing are very taboo to wear clothes that others have tried on."

"You can't take it off after wearing it? You can give me as much silver as you want?" Jiang Boxu asked with a sneer.

"That's right!" The shopkeeper nodded and said in his heart, this young man is really a bumpkin, and he doesn't know where he came from. This is the unwritten rule of the ready-made clothing business. Does he even understand this?
It was he who wore it himself without asking the price first, so it's not his fault for asking for the price.

"Very good!" Jiang Boxu smiled and nodded when he heard the words. Just when the shopkeeper thought that Jiang Boxu was going to pay for the money, Jiang Boxu punched him in the face and smashed him to the ground, with nosebleeds coming out of his nose. up.

"The shopkeeper..." The two guys in the room were startled, and immediately put down their work and came to help the shopkeeper.

"You... how dare you hit someone? Do you know who I am? Do you know who opened this cloth shop?" The shopkeeper yelled loudly while covering his nose.

"No matter who opened it, the clothes will be ordered by the young master, and the money will be given to you. It won't be in vain, but if you want to blackmail the master, it depends on whether you have the ability." Jiang Boxu said this, looking Bu Kai beside him smiled and said, "Give them 20 taels of silver, and we'll leave."

"Yes!" Bu Kai nodded, took out 20 taels of silver and put it on the counter, and followed his master out.

The shopkeeper was trembling with anger, and immediately chased him out, shouting loudly: "Someone, come here, someone is robbing clothes here, there are thieves here, come here!"

This is a relatively prosperous place in the capital, and the patrolling infantry battalion officers and soldiers rushed over immediately when they heard the shopkeeper's shout.

"My lord, you have to decide for the villain. This young man doesn't give money to buy clothes, and beats people." The shopkeeper said loudly, and then added: "Our cloth village is under the name of Princess Kong. Do you know who the princess is? She is the princess personally appointed by the emperor, the daughter of King Dingnan, and the good sister of the future empress."

The people in the infantry camp were stunned after hearing this. Those who do business in Beijing have no background, but what this person said is a bit exaggerated. This cloth village is so small, it can be the property of Princess Kong ?

Jiang Boxu was also stunned when he heard that, he didn't know that Princess Kong, but the future Empress, wasn't she talking about that beautiful and outrageous girl Ya Ruo, the sweetheart of his good brother Jing Xian!
