Chapter 75: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Shen Yu snatched the whip and threw it on the ground.
At this moment, the servants who were originally left behind by Dou Qing also caught up. There were more than ten of them, surrounding Shen Yu in the middle.
Diagonally opposite the inn is a fairly large restaurant in Shengjing.
The street was noisy at this moment, and the elegant room on the second floor of the restaurant facing the street had its windows put up.
A young man stretched his neck to look down for a moment, then turned back and said, "It's that Dou Caobao causing trouble in the street again, relying on his cousin's power to do whatever he wants."
The man in the room took a sip of tea and said, "Let him make a fuss. The bigger the fuss, the better. The Jiang family has been going too smoothly these years. I can't use them for my own benefit, so the more trouble the better."
The young man leaned against the window and watched for a while, then rubbed his eyes and suddenly said, "Huh? The man that Dou Caobao bullied looks familiar to me."
Downstairs, Dou Qingcong pointed at Shen Yu and gnashed his teeth and said, “Kneel down for me now and cut off one of your arms, and I will spare your life.”
Chen Yu stood on the steps in front of the inn, looking down at Dou Qing, and said lightly: "Unfortunately, I really like this arm, and I want to keep it for myself. Why don't you come up with another solution?"
Dou Qing was stunned at first, but after looking her up and down, he felt that this young man had red lips, white teeth and a pair of bright peach blossom eyes. It was the first time he had seen such a handsome man, of course, except for his cousin.
Coupled with that arrogant look, Dou Qing's throat tightened.
Dou Qing teased, "How about this, if you come with me to my Dou Mansion to discuss how to solve this problem?"
The waiter gently tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve and said softly, "This Dou Qing doesn't care about men or women."
How could Shen Yu not understand the frivolous look and teasing tone of Dou Qing when he looked at her? If it wasn't in public, she would have chopped him to pieces long ago.
Chen Yu said: "The horse's leg that I hit was only slightly injured. I will compensate you for the horse. As for your injury, I will also pay for the medical expenses. This matter is over."
If she wasn't afraid of making things worse, she would never have made such a concession. She shouldn't have taken action in the first place, but it was absolutely impossible for her to just stand by and watch someone die.
Dou Qing tilted his head, suddenly turned around, pulled out a knife from a servant, and slashed at the horse's neck. Blood spurted out, and the horse fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
Dou Qing turned his head and looked at the man in front of him with his chin raised provocatively, "Now that the horse is dead, I have no shortage of money. Do you want to come back with me, or do you want me to tie you up and take you back?"
Facing Dou Qingdou's provocation, Shen Yu was
Tighten it tight.
Anyone who has been to the battlefield knows that horses are friends of soldiers and they will not be killed unless absolutely necessary. However, Dou Qing killed his horse openly.
Ever since Dou Qing swung his sword to chop the horse, the smile disappeared from Shen Yu's face. She lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze swept across the sword in her hand, and a flash of murderous intent appeared in her eyes.
The servants quickly surrounded him and her, drawing their swords and pointing them at each other. The onlookers, fearing that they would be injured by mistake, stepped back a long way, leaving a space in the middle of the street.
"Go to Shuntian Prefecture and call someone for me." Dou Qing said to a servant.
Dou Qing stuck the knife into the ground and raised his head: "Do you know who I am? My cousin is a high official in the court. When he stamps his feet, the whole Zhou Dynasty will tremble. I think you are not an ordinary person, but you are unlucky today and fell into my hands. I will give you one more chance. Follow me obediently and I will forgive you for your past."
Shen Yu sneered.
Shengjing is the capital, and a falling brick can hit three officials from the capital.
I'm afraid there is no other idiot except Dou Qing who dares to say in front of the emperor that if his relatives stomped their feet, Shengjing would tremble three times.
I wonder if his cousin who is a high-ranking official would want to slit Dou Qing’s neck after hearing such words.
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Then do you know who I am?"
Dou Qing looked at him warily. There were many young men in Kyoto, and judging from the aura of this young man, he seemed to have a background.
"Who are you then?"
Chen Yu: "I'm your father!"
When she said this, everyone was stunned, and many people in the crowd laughed out loud.
Dou Qing was so angry that his eyes were about to burst. "Fuck you, you have no shame. My cousin is a third-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. I will have him raid your house, kill all nine generations of your clan, and then imprison you as a toy."
A third-rank official of the Ministry of Revenue, Shen Yu's heart skipped a beat, could it be such a coincidence?
Chen Yu frowned, "But is it the Minister Jiang from the Ministry of Revenue?"
Dou Qing said proudly: "Exactly, you are scared now."
Seeing Chen Yu’s expression change instantly, Dou Qing couldn’t help but feel complacent: “If you are scared, then follow me.”
Shen Yu pursed her lips. It was indeed unlucky. Now her brain also reacted.
She looked at Dou Qing carefully and remembered.
She had actually met Dou Qing and had some connection with him, but they had never met in this life.
Dou Qing, also known as Dou Mingda, was Jiang Lianzhi's cousin. She always heard people call him Mingda, and when she saw Dou Qing, Dou
Dou Qing used to be much fatter than he is now, so I never recognized him. But now when I look closely at Dou Qing's face, I can vaguely find the shadow of that fat man.
Dou Qing is a playboy who is idle and does not work. All he does all day is flirt with other women and indulge in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
Dou Qing had gotten into trouble a lot in his previous life, but Jiang Lianzhi's mother was a soft-hearted person. Every time she went to Jiang Lianzhi crying, she would cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide, asking Jiang Lianzhi to clean up the mess for her.
In his previous life, when Dou Qing went to Jiang Mansion, he saw him molesting a maid in the mansion in the garden.
Chen Yu stepped forward to stop him, but he turned around and accused her of seducing him. The maid was not a good person either. Maybe she was just trying to resist but still wanted to. She even falsely accused Chen Yu of catching her having a tryst with Dou Qing in the garden.
Fortunately, Jiang Lianzhi knew who Dou Qing was and did not believe him.
But her mother-in-law said that flies don't bite eggs without cracks, and punished her to copy the "Instructions for Women" ten times.
It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet. Thinking of this, Chen Yu felt angry.
If we confront Dou Qing head-on now, things might get out of hand. If Jiang Lianzhi steps in at that time, it might not end well.
Dou Qing is a money-loving person, so it seems that the only thing he can do is to give up his money to avoid disaster.
“Your horse and you are injured, I will compensate you with five hundred taels of silver.” Shen Yu said.
Dou Qing was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Do you think I'm short of money?"
"one thousand."
"two thousand."
"Five thousand."
There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd. This was truly a huge sum of money, enough for an ordinary family to live a life of ease and comfort.
But Chen Yu was from the Hezhou Lu family, and no one in the whole Great Zhou dared to say that they were richer than the Lu family. This silver was just a drop in the bucket for her.
Even if she took her money, she would have to see if Dou Qing would live to spend it, and make him return the extra money later.
Chen Yu: “Ten thousand!”
Dou Qing was also stunned. Although he was born into a prominent family and had lived a life of luxury since childhood, he had never seen ten thousand taels of silver.
Ten thousand taels is more than enough to buy a dozen beautiful concubines. Although I can't get this handsome young man, I can take the silver first and do something dirty with it.
But judging from the attitude of this young man, the price should be able to go up.
"Fifty thousand taels!" Dou Qing stretched out his neck and asked loudly.
Shen Yu snorted coldly, "Why don't you go and rob it?"
The gentleman upstairs finally confirmed it after seeing this, and clapped his hands and said, "Hey, I really have seen him."
