Before going back, Zhang Zhilin quietly pulled Prince An aside. He felt more and more that this Mr. Yu was the one with the unpredictable mood.
What should I do?
Prince An only gave him two suggestions: "Don't show up here tomorrow, and arrest Chu Chu honestly. Also, the man behind the Huixiang Tavern who is still unaware of it is actually your son. Take your son with you to apologize." Once he knew, the consequences could be imagined.
Prince An then left, leaving behind the prefect, who looked worried. Baili Tang already knew that Zhang Zhilin was the man behind the Huixiang Tavern. Didn't the shopkeeper tell him that day?
"Sir, you don't have to worry. Just spend money to avoid disaster..." said the lawyer with a smile.
"Oh? Mr. Gongsun, do you have any good ideas?"
Gongsun Yuan said, "This incident was caused by Miss Chuchu, who changed the tune and slandered that person. If you can unite other wealthy businessmen and give money to the Hu family, you can comfort the families of the soldiers who died in the fight against the Wuya Peak bandits in recent years..."
"Great! Mr. Gongsun, you truly are our government's brain trust! But I'm not sure how much is the appropriate donation?"
"At least this number!" Gongsun Yuan stretched out ten fingers! !
"This? Is it enough?" From what he said, it seems that this prefect has a very wealthy family.
This figure refers to 100,000 taels of silver, but the Hu family army alone sacrificed over 20,000 soldiers. If divided equally among the martyrs, it would only be 5 taels. Isn't that too little?
"That's enough. And you, sir, only need to pay part of the money. Let others pay the rest. More is not right; less is not right either. And we have to publicize this matter!"
"It's all Chuchu's fault... I'm afraid she's not a simple person. The constables went after her, but there's still no news. How could an ordinary brothel girl have such a talent?"
Being ordered to pay 100,000 taels of silver for distorting a song is not unfair. But being executed along with the entire family for writing a poem that turned out to be a hidden anti-Chinese poem is unfair!
Upon learning that an distinguished guest was coming to visit the mansion, Hu Zhenxing quietly ordered someone to inform his mother. When Baili Tang arrived, the ancestor of the Hu family, along with the entire Hu family, went out to greet him.
"Excuse me, old lady." Baili Tang bowed to Hu Panpan's grandmother.
Everyone in the Hu family was astonished. Could this one-eyed man be even more powerful than Prince An?
The food and wine were ready, and as soon as Baili Tang entered, he started eating. Seeing the table full of fish and meat, Baili Tang felt nothing - I have to endure it! I still have to lose another 40 pounds!
Madam Hu, who was over seventy years old, with silver hair and kind eyes, was a person who could read people's expressions. "Sir, do you think these dishes are not to your liking?"
Baili Tang said calmly, "I've been trying to lose weight recently and rarely eat meat."
Then Madam Hu understood everything. Many people had heard that Baili Tang had been losing weight and rarely ate meat since he was struck by lightning...
Prince An: No wonder my royal brother looks much thinner.
After the meal, everyone was dismissed and the doors and windows of the living room were closed. Only Baili Tang and his brothers, Ye Hongxue, and Hu Zhenxing and his mother remained. In front of everyone, Baili Tang took off his mask.
Baili Tang knew that everyone was about to salute, so he quickly stopped them and said, "Don't talk. General Ye, you should take off your mask too." This mask was too uncomfortable to wear.
Ye Hongxue had no choice but to remove her mask. Things were far beyond her control. She could only take one step at a time to determine what would happen to her and the Ye Family Army in the future. At the current rate of progress, the tyrant could easily earn ten thousand taels of silver. Would she keep her promise?
Prince An and Hu Zhenxing were both very curious. Why was she here?
Baili Tang continued, "For the next few days, I'll just stay here peacefully. I need someone similar in stature to play me. Just watch, that spy named Chuchu will definitely send a lot of people to assassinate me. Send a few dozen elite soldiers, disguised as ordinary servants, to protect the person playing me. Hey, General Ye, you've started growing a beard?"
Let's use this little trick to get rid of Chuchu and her people!
Living in the Marshal's Mansion was certainly much safer. Besides, Ah Er and the others were already here.
Baili Tang calculated correctly that the Hu family would not rebel.
Ye Hongxue hurriedly went to find a mirror to look at herself. It was late at night and the light was insufficient, so she couldn't see clearly and snorted.
The few of them couldn't figure out the relationship between Baili Tang and Ye Hongxue, so they simply didn't ask any more questions. Even though they were still in shockâit was truly His Majesty! This was incredible! His personality was completely different from before!
"Please prepare a room for me and a bucket of hot water. I don't need anyone to wait on me." Baili Tang said to Hu Zhenxing. Tonight, he finally didn't have to share a room with Ye Hongxue!
"Oh, right. General Ye, you should put your mask back on. You have to continue playing the role of Mr. Yu's wife. Please find someone who looks like me and come in quickly."
Madam Hu said to her second son, "Why don't you go and do it quickly?"
"yes!"
The next day.
Ye Hongxue accompanied the disguised Mr. Yu out of the house and headed for the Linjiang Tavern. In order to prevent the incident from being leaked, Prince An and Hu Zhenxing had to accompany them.
However, although they look about 70% similar in appearance, the feeling they give them is completely different.
Among the few people, only Hu Panpan didn't know that Mr. Yu was an imposter, so she asked in confusion: "Uncle, what's wrong with you today? Didn't you sleep well last night?" She always felt that there was something wrong with the uncle today.
Hu Zhenxing quickly interrupted his niece: "You already know the answer, why are you asking so many questions? The gentleman is in a bad mood today, please don't disturb him."
Since Baili Tang had entered the Hu family last night, Sima Chuchu's men naturally couldn't do anything to him. Now that he was out today, they had to seize the opportunity to kill him.
