Traveling back to the Northern Song Dynasty: Picking up a princess as my wife

At nine o'clock, Li Zhen arrived at the warehouse. He saw Fang Zhen, who had been waiting for a long time, and greeted him with a smile.

As the warehouse's roller shutter door opened, countless supplies were piled up inside, arranged by area. There was rice and flour, as well as numerous steel farm tools, various medicines, and clothing. Most conspicuously, near the entrance, were two brand-new farm tractors, with their matching implements piled up on the ground beside them.

Fang Zhen patted the tractor's exterior and said proudly, "This is the latest model. I also bought ten tons of diesel fuel as you requested. Luckily, we have a company business license, otherwise gas stations wouldn't sell fuel to the public at all."

Then Fang Zhen led Li Zhen inside, where they saw solar panels neatly arranged on the ground, numbering in the thousands.

Fang Zhen: "There's another batch of security supplies that was supposed to be delivered this afternoon. The stun batons, riot shields, and high-powered flashlights cost a lot of money, so the quality is definitely not a problem. By the way, I secretly asked someone about the hunting rifle you asked me to get. There's a guy who can make it, but he wants to collect the money first before delivering the goods, and he can decide the delivery location and time."

Upon hearing that he could get his hands on a hunting rifle, Li Zhen was thrilled. Although the range of a hunting rifle was rather short, it would have been a formidable weapon in the Song Dynasty. Fearing that Fang Zhen might not have enough funds, he transferred another two million to him.

Fang Zhen was stunned when he saw the message on his phone. He took out a thick stack of bills to show Li Zhen, but Li Zhen didn't even look at them and just handed them back to Fang Zhen.

“We’re old classmates, do you think I wouldn’t trust you? Our trade is growing bigger and bigger, so you can quit your used car business and focus on running our company. You’ll be in charge of purchasing, and I’ll be in charge of sales. I’ll give you an annual salary of three million, and I’ll give you bonuses once the company’s profits improve.”

Upon hearing that Li Zhen had offered him a salary of three million, Fang Zhen nearly knelt down on the spot. Putting everything else aside, with an annual salary of three million, why would he bother working as a used car dealer?

After sending Fang Zhen away, Li Zhen took advantage of the fact that no one was around, and used his mental power to store all the various supplies piled up into his own space, holding the jade pendant in his hand.

Looking at the dozens of tons of rice in the space, Li Zhen couldn't help but smile. Putting everything else aside, this rice alone could be exchanged for countless amounts of gold. Add to that other things, and Li Zhen felt a little giddy.

Jingle Bell......

Li Zhen's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Qin Rong calling. Without thinking, he hung up immediately. Unexpectedly, Qin Rong called again. This time, he frowned and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Li Zhen, old classmate, you have to help me, my car hit someone."

After a moment of silence, Li Zhen said in a deep voice, "Send me your location, I'll be right there."

Actually, he didn't want to get involved, but he couldn't let go of the feelings in his heart. Helping Qin Rong this time was just to give himself an explanation for his naive love back then.

Following the location Qin Rong sent, Li Zhen quickly arrived at her location. He saw a white Honda Fit parked across the middle of the road, an electric scooter lying beside it, and an elderly man with blood all over his head sitting on the ground.

Just as Li Zhen arrived, an ambulance also arrived. Soon, the paramedics got out of the ambulance and went to the elderly man, intending to lift him into the ambulance.

The old man refused to get into the car. He gave a wink to a middle-aged man next to him, who immediately shouted at Qin Rong, "How could you drive like that? Look what you did to my second uncle! You have to pay for this!"

An older woman selling fruit nearby spoke up: "It's not the little girl's fault; it was your second uncle who was hit because he was crossing the road recklessly."

Shut up! What's it to you!

A young man with blond hair next to the middle-aged man pointed at the older woman, which frightened her so much that she quickly shut her mouth and stopped talking.

Anyone with eyes could tell this was a staged accident, and judging by the scale, it was a gang. It was just surprising how much money they'd go to stage such an accident. Looking at the damaged electric scooter, Li Zhen realized the speed must have been quite high; if the old man hadn't been careful, he would have been dead.

Li Zhen came to Qin Rong's side. Upon seeing Li Zhen, Qin Rong seemed to have suffered a great injustice and immediately threw herself into Li Zhen's arms and cried.

While comforting Qin Rong, Li Zhen said to the middle-aged man, "Let the old man go to the hospital for treatment first. We can discuss how to handle the situation later."

The middle-aged man, believing Li Zhen to be Qin Rong's boyfriend, looked at him arrogantly and said, "No, tell me how much compensation you're willing to pay first, then we'll go to the hospital."

Li Zhen frowned and asked, "How many do you want?"

The middle-aged man secretly calculated that he usually asked for a thousand or eight hundred, but today the person was really injured, so he would have to ask for at least ten thousand.

Having made up his mind, he said, "Pay me 10,000 yuan first, and the medical expenses will be calculated separately."

The onlookers were all talking about it.

"These people are despicable; they actually wanted 10,000 yuan."

"That little girl shouldn't have braked; she should have just pretended to be dead, like that old bear."

"Shut the hell up, all of you! What's it to you? Get out of here!"

The blond-haired young man from before found a steel pipe from somewhere and started driving away the crowd of onlookers.

I asked Qin Rong in a low voice, "Did you call the police?"

Qin Rong nodded with tears in her eyes. Just then, a police car pulled up beside her, and three uncles got out.

One of the uncles frowned when he saw the blond-haired man and the middle-aged man. He was in charge of traffic in this area, so how could he not recognize these three "acquaintances"? However, he was dumbfounded when he saw the old man with blood all over his head. How could he have actually run into him this time?

First, statements were taken from both parties. When it came to the old man's turn, he immediately closed his eyes and fainted. Just as the medical staff were about to take the opportunity to lift him into the ambulance, the young man with blond hair and the middle-aged man clung tightly to the stretcher and refused to let go, insisting that Qin Rong pay compensation first.

Just as the uncle was about to retrieve the on-site surveillance footage, he was dumbfounded, because this was exactly a place that the surveillance cameras could not capture. So they decided to look for evidence from Qin Rong's dashcam footage.

The uncle was dumbfounded as soon as he opened the car door. There was no dashcam installed in the car. These days, who installs a dashcam as the first thing after buying a car?

Finally, they asked Qin Rong which insurance company she had purchased. To everyone's surprise, aside from the most basic mandatory traffic accident liability insurance, she hadn't bought any other types of insurance. The uncles fell silent; this was probably the first time they'd encountered such a situation in their careers.

Li Zhen looked at Qin Rong beside him again, noticing how she was dressed so elegantly and yet so stingy with herself.

Finally, through the mediation of the uncles, the injured old man was lifted onto the ambulance, while Qin Rong's Honda Fit and the totaled electric scooter were towed away by a tow truck. Both parties returned to the police station in the uncles' police car. According to the uncles, the best outcome was a settlement reached through mediation.

Qin Rong sat in the passenger seat of Li Zhen's car and kept crying. At this moment, she had no idea what to do.
