"Sir, how can you also take their silver!" Marquis Yan exclaimed in shock.
"Oh?"
Li Hengsheng raised an eyebrow and said, "They gave it to me for free, why shouldn't I take it?"
"But..." Marquis Yan was surprised, "Wouldn't taking their silver mean you have to follow their orders?"
"Why?" Li Hengsheng was taken aback.
This question also left Marquis Yan stunned. After a long pause, he said, "Then... if they come to you for something and you refuse, wouldn't it be bad?"
"Why should I care?" Li Hengsheng said indifferently, "They offered it, I didn't beg for it. Why shouldn't I take it? As for doing things for them, since I owe them nothing, why should I work for them?"
"But they are really stingy, only gave five thousand taels."
Looking at the silver notes, Li Hengsheng felt insulted that they attempted to bribe him with only five thousand taels.
If it were an Innate, they'd at least give tens of thousands of taels.
