After Zhao Ce finished speaking, Butler Du laughed "haha".

"Young Master Zhao has just finished school. My young master asked me to come and give him the key to the shop that Young Master Zhao wants to buy."

After saying that, he raised the key in his hand to Zhao Ce.

Zhao Ce didn't reach out and said directly: "I see, I'd like to trouble Butler Du."

Xu Fang, who was behind Zhao Ce and was helping him carry the bamboo basket, spontaneously stepped forward to take the key, but Butler Du suddenly closed his hand and stepped back with the hand holding the key.

"Since you want to get the key to my store, do you need to pay off all the money?"

"My young master said that Zhao Xiucai is a new rich man in our city. He intends to make good friends with Zhao Xiucai. Therefore, this shop was originally listed in the dental shop for 800 taels of silver. Now it only charges Zhao Xiucai 700 taels of silver."

"Zhao Xiucai gave me the money, and I just gave him the key."

Xu Fang looked at this person confused.

Didn't his master sign a contract with them a few days ago, pay off the money, and then get their store deed?

Now it's natural for them to send the keys.

What kind of money is this?

But Xu Fang did not dare to talk nonsense easily, so he had to retreat to Zhao Ce and wait for his master to speak.

Zhao Ce stood calmly and said, "Silver?"

Then, as if he remembered something, he said: "Xiao Fangzi, take out the money bag we use to reward you."

Xu Fang suddenly understood, took out two money bags for rewards from Zhao Ce's bamboo basket, and walked over directly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Housekeeper Du."

Butler Du lowered his head and glanced at the money bag in Xu Fang's hand. It probably contained only a few copper coins.

He didn't come here today for this kind of thing.

Steward Du sneered and knocked the money bag out of Xu Fang's hand and said, "Zhao Xiucai, who are you trying to insult?"

Xu Fang received a slap in his hand and dropped the money bag directly to the ground without holding it firmly.

There are only ten copper coins in it, which the lady put in for the master to reward.

Xu Fang quickly squatted down and picked up the money bag.

Butler Du's voice was not suppressed at all.

It's time for school to end in the academy, and there are many scholars coming and going around.

There were also a few Confucian scholars dressed in white.

When everyone heard Butler Du's words, they all stopped.

"Isn't this the new junior Sanyuan Zhao Ce?"

"Yes, that's him. This seems to be the butler of Du Mansion, right? What are they doing?"

"I heard that Zhao Ce's family has a shop in the county town, and the food cooked there is all fresh food. Is this a birthday celebration for the Du family?"

"Hey, when doing business, just let the servants come forward. How can a dignified scholar end up personally? Doesn't this smell of copper all over his body pollute the place of sages?"

"What you are saying is wrong. I heard that Zhao Ce is from a farmer's family and he does everything by himself."

"He just passed the examination as a scholar, how can he train useful servants?"

Everyone was talking a lot, and they were very curious about Zhao Ce.

After all, he was Xiao Sanyuan whom he had not seen for decades. Those who did not know Zhao Ce also stopped and listened to the familiar people's popular science.

It's just that after all, they are all scholars, and they all want to have face, so their voices are kept low when they speak.

The gatekeeper at the entrance of the academy also looked here curiously, thinking that after seeing clearly what happened, he would report to Jiaoyu.

After seeing many people stopping, Butler Du thought that the fun was about to begin.

His young master specifically told him to show up at this time.

The purpose was to make Zhao Ce embarrassed in front of everyone and no longer able to deny it.

Now that the price of salt in Fucheng has been soaring, we still need to deal with this person as soon as possible, lest he find some way to stabilize the price of salt.

Unexpectedly, Lun Mingyi, who was following Zhao Ce not far behind, heard these words and couldn't help but said angrily: "Shut up!"

"You are both talented people, how can you talk like a shrew in the market?"

Lun Mingyi remembered the last time he was in a restaurant, when he was held in high spirits by a group of people, and a lot of unproven bad things were said in front of him.

Later, Zhao Ce kicked the middle screen to pieces, which was considered a warning to him.

As a person who reads books from sages and sages, how can you say that the wind is the rain?

It's really too much to start talking about others in front of others after saying a few words!

Lun Mingyi's words silenced everyone around him.

Many people had shame on their faces and backed away half-covering their faces with their sleeves.

For a while, the discussion in the venue decreased a lot.

After Lun Mingyi finished speaking, he secretly took a few steps forward.

In fact, he didn't know what was going on, but when he heard others saying bad things about Zhao Ce, he immediately remembered the kick last time.

Lun Mingyi stretched his neck, trying to hear clearly what happened to Zhao Ce.

Mr. Song, who was beside Zhao Ce, was not in a hurry and took a leisurely look around.

When he saw Lun Mingyi, who was half-hiding behind the pillar at the entrance of the academy, he smiled at him.

Lun Mingyi didn't notice him, but looked at Butler Du who was obviously looking for trouble.

After hearing what was said over there, Butler Du glanced at the person who stood up for Zhao Ce.

The young master of the Lun family...

Look at Mr. Song standing next to Zhao Ce...

Butler Du felt a little discouraged.

People from the two major families in Fucheng are here, one on the left and one on the right, like guardian angels. They are obviously on Zhao Ce's side.

Even if the Du family unites with other families, it might not be easy...

But then I thought about it, these two people are just young boys, and they can't make the decision in the family.

As long as the head of the family is not here, there is no need to be too afraid.

Their plan is foolproof. As long as the evidence is conclusive in front of the governor, what's the use of Zhao Ce being popular?

Zhao Ce also noticed that the people around him looked at him with doubts or looking at the fun, but he was not afraid at all and asked directly: "Does Butler Du look down on the reward for me? Otherwise, what kind of money can you ask for?"

"Didn't your store sign a contract with my family and settle the money two days ago?"

"Now that Butler Du has sent me a key, how much money do you want from me?"

Butler Du opened his eyes and told lies, pretending to be surprised.

"Zhao Xiucai, when you say this, do you want to default on your debt?"

"Two days ago, my young master personally went to your house to apologize to you with generous gifts."

"Later, when your family didn't have enough money, I graciously gave you the deed to the store so that you could prepare for the store first."

"I clearly agreed that after you raise enough money in the past few days, I will hand over the key to you."

"Now you are going to change the key to my shop with just a few coins. This is an open robbery!"

Zhao Ce sneered in his heart, thinking that it was really similar to what he guessed.

Since you love acting so much, let’s act together!

Wait until the end of the performance, you will have a good time!

Zhao Ce said calmly: "When we signed the contract that day, both the township contract and the Yahang steward were present."
Chapter completed!
