Chapter 1282: You Have to Give Me a Good Price

Li Chen looked at Nangong Shouzhong, he was weighing his options.

Nangong Shouzhong's decision to save or not save someone has its own reasons.

Without saving him, Li Chen felt absolutely no guilt whatsoever.

The main reason was that the cost of saving him was too high.

This will directly lead to a conflict between him and King Wen, and it will be an irreconcilable one.

Once King Wen knew the imperial edict of Emperor Tianyuan had fallen into his hands, he would go mad.

But for King Wen, who dared to give himself a dead tiger as a wedding gift, Li Chen had no intention of living a good life with him from the start.

Adding to the inevitability of reducing feudal powers, Li Chen didn't care whether he conflicted with King Wen sooner or later.

But the key lies in whether Nangong Shouzhong is worth saving or not.

In other words...

"What benefits can you bring to this palace"

This question can be said very directly.

Nangong Shuzhong didn't expect Li Chen to be so shameless.

He gave Li Chen his biggest secret and still wanted something in return.

But Nangong Shouzhong couldn't help it.

Now he's a fish on a chopping board, he's already crossed that line. What happens next is not his decision, but Li Chen's.

"The commoner is willing to die for your highness!"

Looking at Nangong Shunchun lying on the ground, Li Chen was delighted.

He crouched down and said, "Look up."

Nan Gong Shou Zhong slowly raised his head and met Li Chen's gaze, who was right in front of him.

Li Chen said with a half-smile, "You betrayed Wen Wang for your life, yet you came before me and said you were willing to die for me. Don't you think the reason you don't want to be killed by Wen Wang is because you want to die at my hands This isn't reasonable, nor is it the logic of a normal person."

Gong Nan Shouzhong's face turned awkward, speechless after being refuted.

Li Chen didn't expect him to give a good explanation, and said lightly: "You are a businessman, this palace will do business with you."

Since it's a business deal, there naturally has to be buying and selling. A good deal is reached when both parties agree. Does Mr. Nangong agree

Palace Master, what Your Highness said is indeed so.

Patting Nangong Shouzhong on the shoulder, Li Chen said: “For businessmen, everything in the world can be priced, as long as the price is right, then nothing can’t be bought and nothing can’t be sold. So in Mr. Nangong's view, how much is your life worth, and how much is your family's life worth”

Nangong Shuzhong's face was ashen, and he said with difficulty: "Subject... this humble subject doesn't know what else he can offer to buy the lives of his wife, children, and himself."

Then go back and think it through carefully before telling this palace again.

Li Chen got up and walked to his seat, saying lightly: "I'll give you three days."

NanGong ShouZhong didn't expect that after he went all out, this would be the result.

Refusal

不算。

Agree

There is none.

Nangong Shuzhong's heart was filled with unbearable pain, as if there was a bone stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or spit out. The discomfort was so intense that he almost vomited blood.

But faced with Li Chen, who had already bowed his head to read the imperial decree, Nangong Shuzhong dared not persist. He could only grit his teeth, thank him after finishing, and then withdraw.

He still had one more chance to negotiate with Li Chen over the next three days.

Now he just has to give Li Chen a price that's good enough for him to protect his whole family within these three days.

After Nangong Shuzhong left, Li Chen lowered his head to look at the imperial edict in his hand, pondering for a long time before calling back Wan Jiaojiao and Xiaochizi.

"Go and find some of the late emperor's edicts, I need them."agedy, the court relocated 300,000 people to those cities and distributed land to them. However, this situation differs fundamentally from that past event. Therefore, it can be said that redistributin...
