Chapter three hundred and seventieth
King An was so angry that he was not afraid of others' jokes. He directly asked the rich man to ask Zhuang Rou if there was any money on the boat.
When the rich man came to ask with shamelessness, Zhuang Rou was shocked. Someone was so shameless that he wanted to steal other people's money and had the face to ask where the money was.
Anyway, it was safe at this time, and no matter how hard King An was to go to Hongzhou, she said bluntly: "There is no money, I got on the boat with empty hands. That's the ship of your Prince An's mansion. Is there any money on it? Don't you know whether it's on it?"
"Thirty thousand taels are not thirty taels, and they can still be taken away in their arms." Zhuang Rou said dissatisfiedly. These people are obviously royal princes, and it is really surprising that they are so shameless for some money.
It was indeed a lie. The rich man said in a loud voice: "You little fourth-rank official, you dare to deceive King An. You are so brave that you can drag you down and execute him now."
Zhuang Rou looked at him sincerely, "Dadfather-in-law, although I didn't bring 300,000 taels, there are ones in Hongzhou. If we go faster, the money may not have been used to buy food to save disasters. Then King An can take the money away."
"Isn't the silver from the court just the silver of King An? Why do you have to be so anxious to take your own silver? Isn't this Dahao the one from King An? Isn't that right? Rich Eunuch?" She smiled mysteriously.
The rich man was frightened by her silence, "You! What are you talking nonsense? Dahao belongs to the emperor, don't harm my prince."
"So it's not?" Zhuang Rou said in surprise.
What a fool to pretend to be stupid!
The rich man pointed at her and said angrily: "If you want to die, die by yourself, don't harm others. He talks nonsense all day long, and one day he will be killed!"
"Since Dahao is not from King An, then you are still standing here to ask for disaster relief money, get out!" Zhuang Rou immediately changed her face and started cursing.
"King An is already seventy or eighty years old, and he didn't save any wealth for his descendants. He took his son and concubine to steal the emperor's silver. His father-in-law is not young anymore, so he should know something. You can get this silver?"
Regardless of the face of Fu Lao Duke, Zhuang Rou scolded in disgust: "Stay honestly on the boat. If you ask for money, I will feed you all the fish!"
The rich man had never suffered such humiliation. He was so angry that he trembled all over. He wanted the people around him to move to Zhuang Rou, but he looked at her weapons and finally gritted his teeth and ran to King An to complain.
But King An heard the fat tremble. Zhuang Rou said that he wanted to rebel in his words. Thinking of what this woman did in the palace, she had ulterior motives.
He cursed fiercely: "When I arrive in Hongzhou, I will see if Chu Xia dares to do this too. I will spend all the money in Hongzhou at that time!"
"King An, you must take good care of your health. Leave these things to the younger ones to do, keeping them safe and uneasy for a moment." The rich eunuch said coldly with a cunning light in his eyes.
King An leaned on the bed, waved his hand and said, "I'll leave this to you. Go and bring me a bowl of bird's nest."
"Yes." The rich eunuch immediately arranged for the maid to go down. After a while, someone came up with something.
The rich man took it and saw that it was not a bird's nest but a bowl of white porridge. He immediately scolded: "What's going on? What's the matter with the bird's nest!"
"When I go back to my father-in-law, I put everything in the cabin, and I don't know where I was being pressed. I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. I was afraid that the prince would be hungry, so the prince's concubine asked me to bring me a bowl of porridge." The maid lowered her head and said timidly.
King An was so angry that he couldn't get up. He was fleeing!
But he was shocked and frightened all night, and now he was empty in his stomach, so he said weakly: "Take the porridge over and I'll eat it."
The rich man quickly brought the porridge over and just wait until dawn to Hongzhou.
At this time, the breeze in the Hongzhou Prefecture Government Office was brightly lit in the middle. Chu Xia had not fallen asleep yet. He sat at the table and looked at the flying pigeon in his hand and smiled slightly, "Xiao Ran, this is a letter sent by Mo Zuo. He has already done the matter of King An, but now he is here to seek punishment."
Xiao Ran raised his head. He didn't know what was written in the letter, but the cooperation with Mo Zuo was only the first time, so there should be no mistake in asking for guilt.
"He said his wife was on King An's ship and questioned that we had collected the information too poorly and did not do well. She didn't tell him about this. She almost shot the person to death on the ship." Chu Xia handed the letter to Xiao Ran, took a sip of tea and asked him to see it himself.
The young lady of the General's Mansion?
Xiao Ran was a little confused. Isn’t this what the whole capital knows about Mo Zuo’s failure to get married? When did he have a wife?
But after reading the letter, Xiao Ran looked at Chu Xia, "Sir, General Mo said... Zhuang Rou is his wife?"
A general can't make such a joke. Is this true?
Xiao Ran felt a little credible, for example, in order to win over the Mo family, Zhuang Xuewen married Zhuang Rou to Mo Zuo. Just because he couldn't see the light now, the marriage was delayed.
However, when he thought of the uncle and Zhuang Rou who were unable to explain and could not explain, he rolled on the same bed and lived in the same room all night. He also tattooed painting embroidery on others' backs, which spread the ambiguous relationship that everyone in the capital knew about, he was a little overwhelmed.
"I know this matter when I first took office as the county magistrate of Douhu County. That day, Zhuang Xuewen did not block my carriage. He mentioned to me in the carriage that Mo Zuo wanted to propose marriage to Zhuang Rou, but Zhuang Rou should not agree." Chu Xia smiled, but did not say that he thought that Zhuang Xuewen was talking about it that day to let him marry Zhuang Rou.
At that time, he did think that in order to win over Zhuang Xuewen, he could reluctantly marry Zhuang Rou back. Anyway, he was not familiar with him at the beginning, so he married a woman he didn't know. This was also a way for the powerful to cooperate with each other.
Xiao Ran was speechless with the relationship between the three of them. The two major capitals are famous. How many noble girls are fighting to marry a man? Should they fight for Zhuang Rou?
If it spreads, it will definitely be a surprise and will also affect the two of them's joint efforts.
So, Xiao Ran said, "Sir, since that's the case, we might as well not interfere in this matter. General Mo wanted to marry Zhuang Rou, so let him propose marriage by himself. We don't have to intervene in the middle."
Chu Xia looked at him with a picky look, "But Zhuang Rou likes this king."
"Sir, but you..." Xiao Ran originally wanted to say that you were just having fun and couldn't marry her, but his eyes blocked the rest of the words back.
I feel so terrified in my heart. I can’t be really playing!
Chu Xia took out a piece of letter paper, took a pen and wrote it on the paper, and said to Xiao Ran while writing: "We are in love, can't you see that? Even if I don't marry her, she can't marry anyone else."
"If I let her down and marry someone else, she will shoot me to death on the wall. Then if she wants to marry someone else, shouldn't I kill her? How could I even give her to someone else?"
He put down the pen, picked up the letter paper and blew it, turned his head and looked at Xiao Ran and smiled, "My person is mine. If Mo Zuo has the ability, he will let him try it."
Xiao Ran looked at Chu Xia with an expressionless face, and complained in his heart: What did these two people do in the house with him on their backs? Have they already been buried in the quilt?
Both of them are shameless and are lonely and widowed. If the adults fail to control their actions for a while, they will never dare to think about it!
