Chapter 353 My master is not your father!
Furong stood there for a moment, confused. She wiped away her tears fiercely, and when she saw the caravan on the official road, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"Sir, please save my grandfather. I will definitely repay you!"
Furong came forward and knelt down in front of Xie Zhao's horse, looking pitiful.
The repayment she mentioned included giving herself to him without asking for any status.
If it were an ordinary man, seeing how delicate Furong was, he would have already felt pity for her.
Xie Zhao sat on the horse, his expression was cold and there was no emotion in his eyes. He just stared down at Furong.
"Sir, seeing that you are wearing official uniform, you must be of high rank. Please!"
Furong's eyes turned red and her body was shaky, making her look even more fragile.
Jiang Yuzhu leaned against the car window and watched the whole process. She said in a cheerful tone, "Thank you, sir. The sufferings of the people you wanted to see are here!"
A group of bullies were chasing Little White Flower. In order to punish the bullies, the official rescued the beauty heroically, stood up for Little White Flower, and gained her favor and pledged his love to her.
Jiang Yuzhu imagined the whole story and said with a smile, "The girl is indeed as beautiful as a flower. As a woman, I am almost moved."
"Ma'am, stop making trouble."
Xie Zhao turned aside helplessly, a doting look in his eyes as he said, "Tell Hong Jin not to buy you any more storybooks. They are all a mess. How can they be as good as the storybooks written by your husband?"
Most of the scripts written by Xie Zhao are about major cases and are very brain-burning. They involve limited love and are mostly about personal grudges.
"indeed."
Jiang Yuzhu looked at Furong, who was wiping her tears and shaking all over, frowned and said thoughtfully, "Yuanhe, since we have come across this, we must take care of it."
Xie Zhao pursed his lips, his expression indifferent, and said to Furong: "Get up and answer."
At this moment, a dozen servants had already caught up with the old man, shouting, "This is Xunyang, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
Jiang Yuzhu thought Xie Zhao would definitely show his strength, but he just said calmly: "Does this girl owe you money?"
"Exactly. Fifty taels of silver!"
Several servants looked at each other, and finally the leader answered.
If you owe money, you have to pay it back. If you don’t have money to pay it back, then arrest someone to pay it back!
Xie Zhao seemed to be thinking about something, but his face remained calm. He said in a cold voice, "In that case, get out of the way."
"What?"
These words stunned the old servant and Furong.
This doesn’t seem right. Shouldn’t it be about rescuing Furong?
As Xie Zhao's confidant, Liang An had already understood his master's logic and said dissatisfiedly: "My master told you to solve it somewhere else, don't occupy the official road and block the way!"
Xie Zhao didn't care about this trivial matter.
Furong was stunned. She knelt down again and begged bitterly, "Sir, please save Furong. Furong doesn't want to be sold to a brothel. She might as well die!"
"Whatever choice you make, it's your decision."
Facing the beautiful woman shedding tears, Xie Zhao spoke in a cold voice, without a trace of pity.
The servant said that Furong was captured to pay off debts because her family was in debt.
According to the laws of Da Qi, this matter is reasonable.
As for whether Furong would be sold into a brothel or become a maid to pay off her debts, it all depended on the creditor's intention.
"You shouldn't ask me for help. It's safer to ask the creditor for help."
If Furong asks Xie Zhao for help, Xie Zhao will have to repay the money for her and take on a burden that he cannot get rid of.
To benefit the people, we must first be reasonable, rather than forcibly solving other people's problems.
"Yuanhe, you are really..."
Jiang Yuzhu pondered Xie Zhao's logic and could not find any fault with it.
People say he is unkind, but he cares about the poor people and always sticks to his bottom line.
Xie Zhao was not willing to pay for a problem that could be solved with a few dozen taels of silver.
"Yuzhu, the girl named Furong also said that she is willing to repay you with her body, which means she has already made preparations for this. She just wants to change the person. She doesn't like the master of that family."
If Furong only wanted to be a slave, Xie Zhaoxing would ask her more questions.
Now that I see that the other party has some ulterior motives, I don’t bother to care.
"Master, please have mercy!"
Furong fell to her knees, her body disheveled by the wind. This was different from what she had expected.
She thought that after such an incident, Lord Xie would definitely show sympathy for her and rescue her and take her back to Beijing.
On the way back to Beijing, Furong tried another way to climb onto Xie Zhao's bed.
The old man also knelt down and begged for help, tears streaming down his face, looking somewhat pitiful: "Please, just give Furong a bite to eat..."
"There are caravans passing by on the official road every quarter of an hour. Why did you target my master instead of asking for help from others?"
Liang An looked suspicious and even more dissatisfied, "My master is not a Bodhisattva, why should he show mercy?"
"Also, the wife is the one who makes the decisions in the family, the master has no say."
Liang An finished speaking in one breath, and he felt that the breath in his chest was smooth again.
Furong was startled and showed an expression of disbelief.
She was a smart person. After careful consideration, she realized that the crux of the problem was not that the other party was stealing her, but that he owed her money.
Furong quickly realized what was happening and cried again, "You know, it's my father who owes the debt!"
"It is only natural that a daughter should pay her father's debt!"
Xie Zhao kept silent. Liang An understood and immediately stepped forward to speak for him. "My master is not your father. Why should he bear dozens of taels of silver for you?"
It's really strange these days. If you don't want to meddle in other people's business, you still have to press your head.
Furong was speechless and was thinking about how to make a remark when the old man spoke up: "Sir, you are wearing an official uniform and hold a high position. I have no other choice but to ask you for help."
If the old man fabricated that Furong's father was a gambler and in debt, Xie Zhao would not care, so he could only say with tears in his eyes: "Master Jie, who kidnapped people, had long been attracted by Furong's beauty, so he set a trap."
Furong's father is illiterate, and Master Jie deceives Furong's father into signing a contract to buy and sell land, and then tampered with the contract.
The family lost all their property and still owed Master Jie dozens of taels of silver.
"The old man is useless and can't pay back the money. I have nowhere to turn to, so I have to run away!"
The reasons the old man made up were logical and impeccable.
From this perspective, it was Furong's father who was deceived and led to the debt, and the responsibility does not lie with Furong's family.
Now, it’s time for Mr. Xie Zhao to mind his own business!
"Old man, who told you to talk nonsense?"
To prove his authenticity, the servant slapped the old man.
The old man stumbled and fell, looking extremely pitiful.
"This is too much. How can you bully others like this?"
Before Xie Zhao could say anything, a fast horse came up on the official road and a "man" with thick eyebrows and big eyes jumped off the horse.
Looking closely, although the "man" looks very heroic, the ear holes on his ears are not covered.
Jiang Yuzhu could tell at a glance that this person was a woman disguised as a man.
"How much silver? I gave it to you!"
The man dismounted from his horse, helped the fallen old man up, glared at the servant and cursed him.
"Where did you come from, bitch? This has nothing to do with you, so mind your own business!"
The servants were devastated and wanted to cry. It was not easy to deceive Xie Zhao in the first place, and they thought they would soon see the light, but unexpectedly another young man showed up, making the difficulty even greater.
