Chapter 2169 Master and Servant Agreement
Shitou returned to the office of Prince Ji's Mansion and went straight to the back house.
As soon as I entered the backyard, I heard Li Shen's noisy voice:
"Here, here, I just said that we should dig it rounder, look what you are digging?
Do I need to let you go back to the training ground for a while?"
"Hey, hey, you, are you slacking off? Look how fast Tie Niu is working."
"I'm telling you guys, if you don't dig out the mission I drew today, no one will have food to eat... Damn it, Tie Niu, you're crazy. You're taking it out on me."
When Shitou entered the garden, he saw Li Shen sitting on a chair, pointing and shouting at the people in front of him.
In front of him, dozens of guards were digging in the garden.
A large circle was drawn on the ground with white powder, and a lot of grass and some trees were dug out.
"Your Highness, I'm back." Shitou came to Li Shen and said softly.
"Oh, how's the matter going?" Li Shen glanced at Shi Tou, then turned his head and stared at the guards who were working.
"My Lord, it is exactly as you planned. I have already told them both about it.
It all depends on whether these two can get on with it.”
Shitou reported that after following Li Shen for many years, he had naturally learned a lot of Li Shen's new words, and sometimes he could even say a sentence from time to time.
"They will get it, because they are not clean either. They are both very anxious now.
If you show them a way out, they will definitely seize the opportunity.
Send someone to inform Wang Xuance and tell him to act accordingly. This time, I want both. All of them are mine."
Li Shen smiled slightly. He believed that Pei Ziyu and the other two would act according to his prediction, unless they would rather sacrifice their lives than their money.
"Yes, I will go and inform Mr. Wang right away."
After Shitou finished his greeting, he was about to leave.
"Wait!" Li Shen suddenly called out to Shitou, and his eyes turned over:
"What's that in your hand?"
"This... is just a worthless toy given by Pei Ziyu." Shi Tou glanced at the box in his hand and replied quickly.
"Toy? Bring it here and let me see it." Li Shen stretched out a hand.
"Your Highness, didn't you promise me that all the rewards this time would be mine?" Shitou said with a bitter face, holding the box.
Just now, when Li Shen asked Shitou to go to the governor's mansion, after explaining everything, Li Shen added,
"Perform well and don't show your true colors. After the task is completed, all the rewards given by Pei Ziyu and the others will belong to you."
"You bastard, why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and give it to me. I'm just taking a look. Can I take your things?
I have seen all kinds of rare treasures, how could I be interested in your stuff?"
Li Shen glared and cursed.
Under pressure from the tyranny, Shitou had no choice but to reluctantly hand the box in his hand to Li Shen.
Seeing Shitou like this, Li Shen became even more angry.
“Look at your expression, don’t worry, I won’t take your things, seeing how stingy you are.
After all, you are the chief steward of my Ji Wangfu. You have been with me for many years. You have seen all kinds of treasures...
Wow~~~~~What a good baby!!!"
The moment he opened the box, Li Shen's eyes lit up, and eighteen huge luminous pearls came into view.
Each one is round and smooth, crystal clear, and sparkles in the sun.
Li Shen picked one up and held it up to the sun. It was indeed a good thing. Li Shen drooled as he looked at it.
Putting the Night Pearl back into the box, Li Shen's eyes darted around, and after a moment, he closed the box:
"Ahem... Shitou, you have followed me for more than ten years. You have always eaten and lived at my place. I have never asked you for food expenses, right?
I have spent a lot of money raising you over the years, why not..."
"Your Majesty~~~"
Li Shen's words made Shitou's expression more and more strange. Listen to me, is this human language? For the sake of things, King Ji has even lost his dignity.
I am a servant in Prince Ji's mansion. Shouldn't I be provided with food and accommodation?
Who has ever heard of serving as a servant in someone else's house and preparing their own food and shelter?
"Haha, this reason is a bit too far-fetched, isn't it?" Li Shen also smiled awkwardly, feeling that his reason was indeed a bit excessive.
Shitou nodded vigorously in cooperation and continued to look at Li Shen with a resentful look, which made Li Shen feel uncomfortable.
"Oh, alright, alright, I'll give you another excuse. Don't look at me like that.
Let me think about it."
He also felt that what he did was not very authentic, but he liked the thing in his hand so much that it seemed to have broken the seal that suppressed his desires.
"Your Highness, you promised it yourself." Shitou said aggrievedly.
"How would I know these two were so generous?"
Li Shen muttered softly. If he had known this would happen, he would not have agreed so generously.
He thought it would be at most a hundred or eighty strings of cash, but he didn't expect that these two people would spend a huge amount of money to survive.
"Hey? Why are you still standing here? Didn't I ask you to pass a message to Wang Xuance?"
Li Shen suddenly looked up and said angrily, it seems that the soft approach doesn't work, so we have to use the hard approach.
Shitou looked at the box in Li Shen's hand, then looked at Li Shen's expression, and finally bowed helplessly.
"Yes, slave, go right away."
He knew that the things would not be returned. Once they were in the hands of Prince Ji, even His Majesty would have to use threats and bribes to get them back, and sometimes he even had to send people to steal them.
Looking at Shitou's reluctant expression, which looked like a child whose lollipop was taken away by someone else, Li Shen finally waved his hand impatiently:
"Alright, alright, I'll give you 5,000 strings of cash as compensation when I get back to Chang'an. You look so useless, and all these years you've been with me have been in vain.
You haven't learned at all my character of treating money as dirt.
Instead, he became so mercenary, and I don’t know who he learned this from.”
Li Shen felt a little disappointed that this playmate who grew up with him actually developed such a bad habit, which made him feel heartbroken.
Having been by my side for so many years, he hasn't learned any of my good qualities.
"Hehe, thank you, Your Majesty. I will go and pass on the message."
When Shitou heard the compensation of five thousand strings of cash, he immediately smiled. The night pearl was of little use to him. It was not as practical as the five thousand strings of cash.
He had several children to raise, and when they grew up he had to pay for their education, and also take care of their marriages, children, and dowries.
"Look at how successful you are, get out of here now."
Looking at Shi Tou's flattering smile, Li Shen cursed in disgust.
"Yes." Shi Tou immediately saluted happily, turned around and ran away.
(My memory is really bad, but I have a lot of inspiration, but I forget them all.)
