Chapter 398 Make the Shangguan Clan Pay Money
No one expected Ye Tang to say such a thing, and everyone in the Shangguan clan instantly frowned.
The Shangguan clan leader said angrily: "The princess is too rude."
Ye Tang snorted coldly: "No matter how rude you are, you can't compare to the Shangguan clan."
She continued, "Zhong Kui is one of my prince's most capable subordinates. Because of your Shangguan clan's shameless tactics, he has suffered a lot of injustice today. If we had come a step later, I'm afraid even his innocence would be lost. You just said a few words of apology and you think you can make a big deal out of a small matter? You wish!"
Patriarch Shangguan said in a deep voice: "Then what do you want?"
Ye Tang crossed his arms and said, "At least two hundred thousand taels of silver should be paid as compensation. Zhong Kui's dignity is priceless!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Kui's eyes lit up. The princess is asking for a big prize!
The Shangguan clan was furious.
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver? Princess Pingshan, how dare you say that? Do you think silver is cabbage?" Shangguan Qiang said angrily: "Besides, Zhong Kui deceived me first. If I knew he was from the Yuan Dynasty, I would never have kidnapped him."
"Do you mean that you Shangguan clan can kidnap people without any background?" Ye Tang sneered, "Looking at how familiar you Shangguan clan members are, you must have done this countless times! How terrible! You are so lawless under the feet of the emperor. You don't take the Emperor of Penglai seriously!"
Xiao Jingxuan cooperated and said, "I will go to the palace in a moment and have a good talk with Emperor Penglai about this matter."
“No!” The head of the Shangguan clan said anxiously, “Please show mercy, Lord Pingshan. Our Shangguan clan is not one that does evil. How about this? We will give you the 200,000 taels of silver, give it to you!”
Patriarch Shangguan immediately sent someone to bring two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Ye Tang immediately handed it to Zhong Kui and said, "This is your mental damage compensation. Keep it!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess!" Zhong Kui was flattered. This was two hundred thousand taels of silver!
It’s rich! It’s rich! He’s rich!
Ye Qianbai, He Songlin and the twenty or so guards looked at Zhong Kui with envy.
Just for a marriage, they received a compensation of 200,000 taels of silver. They really want it!
After receiving the silver, Ye Tang and his group said goodbye and left.
Watching their backs as they walked away, the Shangguan clan members were so angry that their teeth were itching.
Shangguan Hu said unwillingly: "Patriarch, are you just going to let them go like this?"
Chief Shangguan glared at him and said, "You don't want to let them go. Do you want to keep them here? They are the Yuan Dynasty envoys, not ordinary people!"
"So what if they are from the Yuan Dynasty? When they arrive in my Penglai territory, even a dragon will coil up." Shangguan Hu said with disdain.
The head of the Shangguan clan looked at him sharply and said, "It is a troubled time in the imperial city. The Miao clan and the second and third princes have all been in trouble. If you don't want the Shangguan clan to get into trouble as well, be less impulsive."
As he spoke, he reprimanded Shangguan Qiang: "I warned you a few days ago to put the matter of Zhong Kui aside for now and not to look for him. Why didn't you listen? Now look what happened. The man is gone, and our clan has to pay 200,000 taels of silver as compensation, and we have also offended King Pingshan!"
Shangguan Ruiguang said: "Chief, let's not talk about Zhong Kui first, let's talk about the Princess Pingshan. This woman is very strange."
He continued, "When she saved the emperor at the hunting ground, she kicked the assassin away with a powerful kick. But later she said it was just luck. Now it seems that it was not luck at all, but that she was just very strong."
The Shangguan clan leader frowned and said, "There is no such strong woman in our Shangguan clan. Who is she? Ruiguang, you should investigate carefully and find out where her great strength comes from."
"Yes!"
On the way back to the royal villa, Ye Tang sat in the carriage with a look of regret on his face.
"Just now I really wanted to fight with those powerful beings of the Shangguan Clan, but unfortunately, I didn't get to fight." Ye Tang straightened his clothes and said, "I only kicked away the one who attacked me. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you guys go first."
Jamel Xiao said with a smile: “If you want to fight, we can challenge the Shangguan clan. I believe my uncle and grandfather will definitely allow it.”
Ye Tang waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't really want to fight, let's just let them go for now!"
When getting off the carriage, seeing Zhong Kui holding his chest tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch the banknotes from him, Ye Tang pursed his lips and smiled: "Zhong Kui, you don't need to be nervous. What's yours is yours. The prince and I will not snatch it from you."
Zhong Kui smiled sheepishly: "I have never seen so much silver before. I feel unreal to be so rich all of a sudden."
Two hundred thousand taels of silver, more than ten thousand kilograms, is more than he can spend in his lifetime. After returning to the Yuan Dynasty, he can not only use the silver to marry and have children, but also to take good care of his parents.
The two masters are so nice!
Of course, he couldn't keep all the money to himself. After all, everyone who saw it had a share. The money was obtained by the princess, and the people were killed by his brothers.
At least we have to give them some, and then treat everyone to a big meal.
Xiao Jingxuan looked at him and said, "The silver notes in Penglai are different from those in the Yuan Dynasty. Before you go back, it would be best to exchange the silver notes for silver and bring them back to the Yuan Dynasty."
Zhong Kui nodded his head vigorously: "I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty."
When he returned to the Yuan Dynasty, he had to ask his brothers to help look after his silver, so he had to treat his brothers to a big meal.
Zhong Kui returned to his residence happily. The twenty guards of the Shangguan clan who had accompanied Ye Tang and others followed Zhong Kui and made him very happy.
As soon as Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan returned to the courtyard, they heard the servants say that Nalan Ze had sent someone to invite them to the palace to talk.
Seeing that it was still early, the couple went to the palace.
Nalan Ze recovered very well, but because of his old age and the great suffering he had suffered, his health is not as good as before. He also has to avoid certain foods, especially seafood, and eat less.
Nalan Ze’s favorite food is seafood. Now that he can’t eat it, he feels very uncomfortable.
Ye Tang smiled and said, "Although you can't eat seafood, you can eat freshwater fish and shrimp, but don't eat too much."
Nalan Ze felt relieved after hearing this: "As long as I can eat fish, it's fine."
Then, he said to Ye Tang: "I already know about the Shangguan clan's affairs. The things they do are getting more and more outrageous. Don't worry, I will control them well."
"Although the Shangguan clan is a bit overbearing and unreasonable, they have strong fighting power and have helped me do a lot of things. Pirates on the sea, bandits in the mountains, and any place where there is war, there are always children of the Shangguan clan. When it comes to major events, they are still very reliable."
However, they were too obsessed with the bloodline of divine power. In order to continue the perfect bloodline, the Shangguan clan looked everywhere for strong men and women and recruited them into the clan. Those who refused to be recruited were forcibly kidnapped.
Although the Shangguan clan's behavior is outrageous and arrogant, once a war breaks out in Penglai, the Shangguan clan will be the first to bear the brunt.
Nalan Ze looked at Ye Tang and said, "There is no internal fighting in the Shangguan clan now, but the side branches are still not taken seriously. But compared to before, their lives are much better now."
The direct lineage looks down on the collateral lineage, and will not make things difficult for the collateral lineage or stifle the geniuses within it as they did in the past.
