”belle Chen might be shameless, but he's not stupid. This fellow keeps his cards on …” Of course, it could also be that Prince and Fu Jin are wiping his ass! ”
The aide pointed at the three people kneeling on the outside of the inn. Two of them were husband and wife who were kowtowing together, while the other one was an old man who was begging for mercy. It seemed like he wanted to save his granddaughter.
Judging from their tired looks, they had probably been kneeling there for the whole night. In the distance, there were even some messengers hiding and not daring to come over.
The local official already knew of Zai Cheng's evil deeds, but he could only watch from afar because he could not afford to offend belle Chen!
Li Hongzhang was so angry that his hands were shaking, ”What are you letting me see? This villain was simply insane! ”Shameless …”
”My lord, look at the ground …” Look! ”
Only then did he realize that there was a pile of shiny things in front of the three families who were kowtowing and begging for mercy.
”Silver?”
”That's right, it's a silver coin. This lowly one has a good eye. Every family has at least three hundred silver coins.” My good lord, this is a trap for you to jump into! ”
Isn't that En Guang? ”He is stuffing the money into the arms of the victim!”
Sure enough, En Guang, who came back last night after sending the message, was stuffing the silver in the victim's arms. It was likely that Li Hongzhang and the others would not be able to see this scene after being a little late.
”Sir!” Do you know why no one in the capital could get their hands on belle Chen? This bastard, but there are a lot of people wiping his ass! ”
”If you had a fit of anger just now, you would probably be a joke in the end just because of this incident!”
”Money can make a fool of itself. These poor people also know that the Prince's family cannot be offended. How dare they fight with the Prince's family? ”In the end, didn't you take the silver to accept your fate!”
”If you study one, you won't even be able to find a witness for the victim!”
”Even though the capital's prices have skyrocketed, it's still worth three hundred silver coins to build three tiled houses. If they are frugal, they could even buy a few acres of land. A girl for so much money is already quite a lot!”
”How much is that country girl worth? That's why, my lord, don't interfere. If you interfere, that's a trap! ”
Li Hongzhang thought about it and could not help but exclaim, ”I'm so weak! ”So weak …”
”Lord, it's not just a day or two since this commoner is weak. We have to take it slow, take it slow …”
As he spoke, Li Hongzhang had already reached the entrance of the inn, and En Guang had long welcomed him: ”Greetings to the lord, Master Belle is welcoming you, please come in.”
Although they didn't recognize him, but seeing that there were so many cavalrymen guarding them, they knew that he was a big shot. They hurriedly kneeled and kowtowed to Li Hongzhang.
”Milord, a duke and a marquis for generations! ”Please save my daughter, my lord, please be merciful …”
En Guang was so angry that his men drove him away. ”Scram! It had been a night of ruckus. Was it over? Sooner or later, I'll return the person to you. Why are you making a ruckus? ”If you dare to cause any more trouble, be careful. The silver and people are all gone!”
”Sir Li, please come in …”
Li Hongzhang endured his nausea and walked into the inn, but the moment he entered the hall, he heard the weeping of girls in the backyard, and Zai Cheng woke up early in the morning to sit in the great hall to drink.
It seemed as if Zai Cheng had been completely comfortable last night. His braid was wrapped around his neck like a labourer, and he hadn't even fastened the buttons on his shirt. The moment he saw Li Hongzhang, he hurriedly stood up.
”Ouch …” Long time no see. Lord Li has always been well? ”Sit, sit …”
