"Why are you still standing there? Send Xiaochai down quickly!"
Hearing Gao Yaokang's roar, Mr. Turtle came back to his senses and hurriedly took Xiaochai downstairs.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Xiaochai, whose pear blossoms were full of rain, threw herself into Zhu Lian's arms and burst into tears.
Zhu Lian kept stroking Xiaochai's shoulders as if treating a new sister.
If Zhao Huan hadn't taken action today, not only Xiaochai's fate would be in trouble, but the Zhu family would also be implicated.
Zhu Lian looked at Zhao Huan with a strange look in his eyes, whether it was gratitude or surprise.
Just when the two turtle men were about to turn around and leave, Zhao Huan's voice sounded.
"Did I let you go?"
The two turtle men trembled and fell to their knees on the ground.
Zhao Huan lowered his eyes, scorning the turtle man who was kneeling down to beg for mercy.
"Dare you touch someone from the palace?"
Before Zhao Huan could give the order, Changfu had already rushed forward, grabbed Turtle Master's neck, and punched him in the mouth.
"ah!"
"My lord, please spare my life. I will never dare to do this again."
Turtle Gong's screams continued to echo in the Hongyan Pavilion.
Seeing Mr. Turtle's teeth being knocked out one by one, the dignitaries and the singer Nightingale had already turned pale.
In the entire Hongyan Pavilion, only Gao Yaokang could stop Zhao Huan, but when they looked at Gao Yaokang kneeling on the ground, they felt even more frightened.
Changfu didn't stop until all the teeth in the mouths of the two turtle males were knocked out.
He picked up the teeth scattered on the ground and brought them to Zhao Huan.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Zhao Huan's eyes remained unchanged. Looking at one of the turtles whose face was covered with blood, he wrote lightly: "Which hand just hit the hairpin? Chop it off!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a chill running down their backs.
Zhu Lian was shocked. The man in front of him, who was decisive in killing and majestic and could not be challenged, was really his good-for-nothing husband?!
ah!!!
Turtle Gong's screams continued to echo in the Hongyan Pavilion.
Gao Yaokang gritted his teeth, but did not dare to raise his head. He could only curse in his heart, damn Zhao Huan, I will definitely get back tenfold for today's humiliation.
At this moment, Zhao Huan's voice came from above his head like a reminder.
"Mr. Gao, which hand did you use just now to hit Xiaochai?"
What?!
The onlookers and singers had their eyes wide open and could not believe their ears.
Could it be that... Zhao Huan plans to cut off Gao Yaokang's hand?!
Gao Yaokang also turned pale: "Please show me your noble lord, I am willing to compensate Xiaochai's medical expenses."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huan became interested.
"How much does Mr. Gao intend to pay?"
Gao Yaokang took a deep breath: "Five hundred taels of silver!"
Zhao Huan's eyes showed a hint of coldness: "Master Gao, are you humiliating me?"
Gao Yaokang looked confused: "I sincerely turn conflicts into friendship, how dare you humiliate the prince?"
Zhao Huan snorted softly: "I kidnapped the palace maid in the street and knocked out one of her teeth. I want to settle the matter with five hundred taels of silver."
"The majesty of the royal family is worth five hundred taels of silver?"
"This is not an insult, what else is an insult?"
As soon as Zhao Huan raised his hand, Chang Fu understood and directly handed over a stick.
Feeling the coldness in Zhao Huan's eyes, Gao Yaokang instantly felt chills running down his back.
"Wang...Wangye, what are you going to do?!"
Zhao Huan shrugged and wrote lightly: "You cannot afford to compensate for the majesty of Prince Ding's palace!"
"In that case, let's retaliate in kind."
"I never strike lightly. If I knock out all your teeth with this stick, I will compensate you according to the price you offered, which is five hundred taels per tooth."
The atmosphere in the entire Hongyan Pavilion was extremely cold, and no one dared to show off their anger.
No one doubts Zhao Huan's madness. This guy just crippled Cheng Fang. What does it matter if he beats Gao Yaokang one more time?
"Five thousand taels! The younger one is willing to compensate for five thousand taels!"
Zhao Huan grabbed Gao Yaokang's hair with his left hand and raised the stick with his right hand, his face expressionless.
"Mr. Gao, I advise you to give up on this idea."
"Don't say five thousand taels of silver, fifty thousand taels..."
Before Zhao Huan could finish the words "It won't work", Gao Yaokang said in a panic: "Fifty thousand is fifty thousand!"
"Please, Your Majesty, be kind and spare this little horse."
Fifty thousand taels is an astronomical sum no matter where it is placed, but for Gao Yaokang, it is within the tolerance range.
If the money is gone, you can still make it again. If your teeth are knocked out, you will have to drink water for the rest of your life.
Besides...
Who knows how dark Zhao Huan’s tricks were!
Just when Gao Yaokang was crying violently and tremblingly, Zhao Huan's eyes were as cold as frost, but the ice and snow suddenly melted away.
Bada.
Zhao Huan threw the stick aside casually and responded with a smile like a spring breeze: "Then it's agreed, fifty thousand taels of silver."
What?!
Fifty thousand taels of silver for one tooth? Everyone couldn’t believe their ears.
Gao Yaokang was almost dodged.
This bastard Zhao Huan has been laying the groundwork for so long just to wait for him here!
His face was burning, and he wanted to cut Zhao Huan into pieces right now.
It's a pity that if you say it out loud, it will cause water to be thrown out.
And compared to Zhao Huan's stick, Gao Yaokang was more afraid of the black information Zhao Huan had.
"Mr. Gao, why are you still standing there? Send someone home to get the money. I will be waiting for you here."
"Pay money with one hand and hand over people with the other."
Gao Yaokang had no choice but to bite the bullet and send people back to allocate money.
Even Gao Yaokang could not collect a total of fifty thousand taels of silver in such a short period of time.
Half an hour later, thirty thousand taels of silver notes were placed in front of Zhao Huan.
Gao Yaokang said with a sad face: "Please give me some more grace, Your Majesty. The remaining twenty thousand taels of silver will be sent to the palace."
However, Zhao Huan touched Gao Yaokang's head and said earnestly: "With Mr. Gao's financial resources, if you can't even get this small amount of money, it would be too low-priced, right?"
Small money?!
Even the richest family in the world would not dare to say that fifty thousand taels of silver is small money.
Zhao Huan was too lazy to be verbose and glanced at the smoky Hongyan Pavilion: "I don't want the remaining 20,000 taels of silver."
Before Gao Yao could relax, Zhao Huan's voice came again.
"Just use the Hongyan Pavilion to pay off the debt."
As soon as these words came out, Gao Yaokang's face instantly became extremely gloomy.
As one of the eight major monasteries in Bianjing, Hongyan Hall is not an exaggeration at all to describe it as "making money every day".
Zhao Huan actually wanted to swallow the Hongyan Pavilion as soon as he opened his mouth. This appetite was too much.
Two-thirds of the revenue from Hongyan Pavilion is turned over to the Jiaofang Department.
Half of the Jiaofangsi's income eventually went to the Gao family.
Zhao Huan's move undoubtedly stabbed the Gao family hard, and the loss was so great that it could not be measured by a mere 20,000 taels of silver.
