Chapter 76 Wanting to be Jiang Lianzhi's Uncle
Fifty thousand seemed too much indeed. Dou Qing thought for a moment and said, "I won't waste time with you. Give me twenty thousand and we'll let it go."
Suddenly, a voice that was neither cold nor indifferent was brought by the wind:
“It’s really a big deal.”
When Shen Yu heard this voice, she was shocked. Didn't he go to the palace today? Why was he here?
The crowd dispersed to make way, soldiers led the way, and a carriage slowly drove to the door.
The appearance of the carriage looked very ordinary. It was probably not owned by a high-ranking official, probably a fifth or sixth rank at most.
Dou Qing didn't take it seriously at all, and glanced at him contemptuously, "Who are you?"
Xi Feng in the carriage seemed not to hear anything and got off and lifted the curtain.
Xie Tingzhou in the carriage was dressed in a blue shirt and his face was a little pale. He leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked at Chen Yu with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Shen Yu hesitated for a while before whispering, “Your Highness.”
Dou Qing was startled and stammered, "Which prince?"
There are more than ten princes in the capital, and Dou Qing has never seen most of them. He never knows for sure whether he will run into any royal relative.
Xie Tingzhou glanced sideways and said, "Tie him up."
Shen Yu was shocked.
The next moment, Dou Qing was seen with his hands tied behind his back.
"Hey, brother, you, you, you kidnapped the wrong person. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..." Dou Qing howled like a pig being slaughtered.
Xie Tingzhou raised his hand and pressed his brows, "Shut your mouth."
After the officers' operation, soon only Dou Qing's wailing was left.
Xie Tingzhou had already entered the palace, but felt unwell at the banquet and had to return to the palace. On the way, he happened to meet the officers from Shuntian Prefecture who received a report that someone was causing trouble and came to deal with it.
This is the only way Xie Tingzhou can take to return home. Unexpectedly, the person causing trouble is Shi Yu.
The bailiff had already seen clearly that this man was acquainted with the Prince of Beilin.
A yamen runner walked up to Shen Yu and said, "Please come back to the yamen with us and explain this matter clearly."
Chen Yu felt Xie Tingzhou's piercing gaze on her, and slowly stretched out her hands to let the officer tie them up, "Thank you, officer brother."
Xie Tingzhou's eyes were cold and he sipped
Lips said: "Get in the car."
Shen Yu was hesitant.
"Do you want me to treat you?" His voice became colder and colder. After saying that, Xie Tingzhou turned his head and coughed twice.
Xie Tingzhou looked very pale today. Chen Yu was afraid that he would be angry to death, so she quickly climbed onto the carriage and sat at the door, not daring to look at Xie Tingzhou.
The curtains were lowered and the light suddenly dimmed. The space inside the car was large, with a small table in the middle and a small heater under the table emitting hot air.
Xi Feng whipped the horse-drawn carriage, and it began to sway gently.
The car was so quiet that Chen Yu had no choice but to lift a corner of the curtain and pretend to look out the window.
"You get tens of thousands of taels of silver just by asking for it. Where do you go to rob the rich and give to the poor?" Xie Tingzhou asked.
Chen Yu lowered the curtain and sat up straight, saying hesitantly, "You know exactly where the money came from."
What I heard was a light snort from Xie Tingzhou. He sounded unhappy. I don't know who has annoyed him again.
Xie Tingzhou didn't say anything, just looked at her calmly, and asked after a moment: "I heard that you are Jiang Lianzhi's uncle?"
Chen Yu looked at Xie Tingzhou, puzzled: "What?"
Xie Tingzhou said: "Dou Qing's father is Jiang Lianzhi's uncle. If you want to be his father, then don't you mean Jiang Lianzhi's uncle?"
Chen Yu: "...If I were his father, he would be pissed off to death sooner or later."
Xie Tingzhou's expression was not smiling at all, "Why did you change your attitude when you heard that his cousin was Jiang Lianzhi?"
Shen Yu didn't expect him to come so early and even heard this part.
She thought about it and said, "His cousin is a third-rank official. I am just an ordinary citizen, so it is natural that the people should not fight with the officials."
Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, his face looked grim, and his lips were pursed into a straight line.
She was really bold. She had the guts to talk nonsense in front of him. She was sure that he wouldn't expose her directly, right?
Chen Yu met his heavy gaze, knowing that Xie Tingzhou didn't believe her words at all, and suddenly a light bulb went off in her head, and she said with a smile:
"Your Highness has sharp eyes and can see through everything. Nothing can escape your eyes."
"Your ability to flatter has reached a new level," Xie Tingzhou said, "Speak human language."
"Yes," Shen Yu sat upright.
She said, "I don't know if Your Highness still remembers the time when we were in the woodshed of the inn. In fact, I was not pretending to be gay at all. I was really gay. Your Highness, such a beautiful woman in the world, refused to accept me, so I could only settle for the next best thing. I heard that Lord Jiang was not bad, so I wanted to leave a good impression on him."
Not only has his ability to flatter others improved, but his ability to tell lies has also become more sophisticated.
She, a girl, told him that she was gay? How did she do it? How did she do it?
Xie Tingzhou's face turned pale, and she was so angry that she had a headache. He closed his eyes, pressed his eyebrows and said, "Get out."
"Great." Chen Yu lifted the curtain and found that she had arrived at the capital's government office.
Since it involves something, we still have to go to court.
When Chen Yu and Xie Tingzhou arrived in the court, Dou Qing had already had them untied. He even found a seat and sat cross-legged on one side of the court drinking tea.
In the hall was a thin old man with gray hair, and his official uniform was washed so white that it looked like an honest official. However, judging from the fact that he untied Dou Qing and served him tea, the water was probably a little muddy.
When Liu Fu saw Xie Tingzhou in the hall, he hurriedly came down to greet him and bowed to him, "Greetings, Your Highness. Please take a seat."
Xie Tingzhou declined politely: "Master Liu will judge, I am just a bystander."
After saying that, he looked at Dou Qing, who quickly put down his tea and stood up.
I just heard Dou Qing call him the prince. Who else in Beijing could be considered a prince who looks like this except Xie Tingzhou?
He was afraid that the day was over, so he winked at the servant standing at the door and asked him to go and get help.
Liu Fu walked back to the hall and sat down, then banged the gavel: "Who is in the hall?"
Chen Yu raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Tingzhou, then bowed and said, "Greetings, sir. I am Shi Yu."
Dou Qing met Xie Tingzhou's cold gaze and said hurriedly, "My last name is Dou and my name is Qing."
One did not beat the drum, and the other did not file a complaint. One was the cousin of the Minister, and the other seemed to be acquainted with the Crown Prince.
Neither of them was easy to mess with, so Liu Fu did not follow the usual procedure and asked directly: "What do you two want to talk about?"
Dou Qing immediately shouted angrily: "My young master... I was walking peacefully on the street, and he rushed up and hacked my horse to death. Not only did he injure me, but he also drew his sword against me. Sir, such an arrogant person must not be let off easily."
