Chapter 464: Pawnshops, not bullying others (Part 2)
When the Pawnbroker heard Housekeeper Cao’s words, he secretly said: You are short of 50,000, what does it have to do with us?
“Sir, that’s not how we do things . ” The Pawnbroker tried to reason with Housekeeper Cao, but Housekeeper Cao completely ignored him . Housekeeper Cao only said: “The Emperor wanted these 200,000 silvers, we are short of 50,000 . You keep delaying us, let’s see if the emperor will not find fault in your shop . ”
Since such a big hat was put on his head, the Pawnbroker suddenly had no idea what to do . He nodded his head and said: “I need to ask our shopkeeper about this matter . ”

“Go . ” Housekeeper Cao looked very calm as if he had no idea how shameless he was .
It’s not that Housekeeper Cao was shameless, but this pawnshop owner was the same owner of the merchant who took the lead to increased the price of rice . After all, the Central Empire was behind their back .
Behind this incident of price hike, were actually the Crown Prince, Prince Wen, and other officials . These two were the sons of the Emperor . If they pick out a fight with them head-on, the emperor will likely be furious .
As for the officials? Their weight will not be enough . Lin Chujiu pondered over and over again in this matter . In the end, she decided to let Housekeeper Cao pick a fight with the merchants that the central empire was relying on .
The soft persimmon is easy to be pinched and can easily get scared with the strong . Other people will be obedient as soon as the background have connections to the central empire .

When the Pawnbroker went out, he immediately reported what happened to the Shopkeeper . When the Shopkeeper heard the report, he laughed: “This Xiao Wangfu thinks we are easy to bully . Don’t they know the people behind us?”
“Shopkeeper Zhang, then regarding this the matter?” The Pawnbroker asked carefully .
“Here, isn’t it just 50,000? Send this to the beggar . ” Shopkeeper Zhang bluntly said .
The Pawnbroker looked at the silver that was taken out . He estimated that the Shopkeeper would make Xiao Wangfu spit this out 10x more .

Their Zhang family was not easy to be bully in the Central Empire .
Thinking about this, the Pawnbroker retreated happily . When he faced Housekeeper Cao again, he became arrogant: “Our shopkeeper said, since Xiao Wangye is bleeding and sweating in the front line, we shouldn’t be stingy . These 50,000 silvers are a gift to Xiao Wangye out of courtesy . You can also carry all these things back . ”
“The people in our Xiao Wangfu never bully others and don’t take any money from the people . If you will not take these things, then we will not accept the silvers . ” Housekeeper Cao said with awe, even he himself, was touched by his words .
It’s not good to play a game after bullying other people .
When the Pawnbroker heard this, he couldn’t help but sneer . He wanted to make sarcastic remarks, but he saw a servant came in and whispered in his ears . The Pawnbroker‘s face got stiff and then he stared at Housekeeper Cao . He didn’t say another word to him, he just let someone prepared the silver tickets .
“Have a safe trip, Sir . ” The Pawnbroker said with a gloating look in the face . Housekeeper Cao didn’t think too much about it . Their wangfei refused to accept the imperial edict must have spread in the capital .
Before, when their Wangye haven’t get married, their Xiao Wangfu had always kept a high profile in the war but lived a low profile in the capital . Outsiders don’t know many things about them, but since their Wangye married their wangfei, everything has changed… …
They were now acting more and more high-profile . They always make noise all over the capital . Their wangfei refused to accept the imperial edict, such a big matter, it would be strange if it was not spread .
Housekeeper Cao held the 200,000 silvers in his hand and sighed inside his heart: I hope things go well in Su Gongzi’s side, otherwise, there will be big trouble!
