Chapter 1520: I’ll Get the Silver Back
Seeing that they did not speak or react for a long ti, Brother Dao imdiately gave the man beside him a look.
That person imdiately explained cleverly, “Don’t think that the ship’s fee is expensive. You have to know that it’s Linxun Island. Those there have committed cris. In particular, there are many people with ferocious tempers who will shout for a fight at the drop of a hat. You don’t have many people. We’ll take the ship’s fee and protect your safety. Moreover, not everyone can go to Linxun Island. We’re also worried that sothing will happen if you go to the island. What if sothing happens? We have a huge responsibility.”
Shao Qingyuan nodded slightly as if he agreed.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Brother Dao and the others’ faces. “How many of you are going?”
“Two,” Shao Qingyuan said. They decided not to bring Shao Wen along and let him stay here first to provide support.
As he spoke, Shao Qingyuan took out two banknotes from his sleeve. “Here are 200 taels of silver. Thank you for your trouble in advance.”
Brother Dao and the others were speechless.
Was he that straightforward? He didn’t even need to bargain?
Actually, they were already prepared in their hearts. If the other party bargained for 50 taels, they could bring him along, but they would not provide good treatnt on the way.
Now, the other party actually didn’t say anything and directly gave them money.
Delightful.
Brother Dao laughed out loud and took the silver before saying, “Since you’ve paid for the boat, you don’t have to worry about the rest. Co with . I’ll ask you so questions.”
Shao Qingyuan instructed Shao Wen and followed Brother Dao onto the boat with Gu Yundong.
After entering the cabin, Brother Dao let them sit and poured them both a cup of tea. Then, he asked, “What are your nas? Where did you co from? Who are you going to Linxun Island to visit? What’s your relationship with the prisoner?”
He smiled and said, “Don’t mind . I’m just asking according to the rules. You know that Linxun Island is different from ordinary places. The people on the island have to understand it.”
After paying a large sum of money, it was indeed different. The treatnt was good, the attitude was good, and there was even an explanation.
Indeed, money made the world go round.
Shao Qingyuan replied, “My surna is Shao. I just ca from the capital. I’m going to Linxun Island to see Old Master Gu Yiping because I was asked by soone to pass a ssage to him.”
“Gu Yiping??” Brother Dao muttered in a low voice.
Shao Qingyuan nodded. “Brother Dao knows him?”
“Hahaha, I have so impression of him. I do have so impression of him.” Brother Dao laughed twice. “Does this Old Gu… have family in the capital?”
“Distant relatives.”
Brother Knife rolled his eyes and moved closer. “Mr. Gu has been on Linxun Island for more than 20 years, and you’re from the capital. Will you bring him good news?”
Shao Qingyuan shook his head. “I can’t say anything about that.”
Brother Dao did not ask further. Coincidentally, there was a sound outside.
As if the ship was about to set off, Brother Dao quickly let Shao Qingyuan sit down first. He stood up and quickly went out.
As soon as he left, Gu Yundong complained, “Brother Dao is too greedy. He asked for 200 taels of silver every ti he opened his mouth. You didn’t see it. Ever since he took the banknotes, the greed in his eyes has beco even stronger. I reckon that he still wants to find an excuse to poach money from us, and it’s not a small sum.”
Shao Qingyuan smiled. “It’s okay. I’ll get the silver back.”
His money was painstakingly earned by his wife. How could he give it to such a person?
