"Alright, alright!"

Shen Xiyue laughed and waved her hands, "I'm here to eat, not to quarrel with you. Okay, you can take my fish... but you have to pay me 10,000 taels for each one! Otherwise, I'll go to your house and ask your father for it!"

Cheng Congxian shuddered and blurted out, "No!"

The last time he was beaten, his father asked him what happened when he got home.

He did not dare to hide anything and told everything. His father was skeptical and even sent someone to Guangyuntai the next day.

Later, his father didn't scold him, didn't punish him, and didn't even say a harsh word to him. He just told him that if he saw this person again, he should just stay away and give way to him.

When he looked at Shen Xiyue again, he felt extremely aggrieved.

She clearly took advantage of him...but she still threatened to report him...is there anyone who would behave like this?

Cheng Congxian even felt that since this person appeared, his reputation as a bully in Hangzhou was in jeopardy.

Shen Xiyue asked the shopkeeper: "How many of my fish did he eat?"

The shopkeeper thought, in fact, your fish has not been cooked yet... But seeing that Cheng Congxian was so afraid of him, he hurriedly said, "The five fish that the guest originally ordered will all be given to Master Cheng."

"That's fifty thousand taels!" Shen Xiyue stretched out a slap towards Cheng Congxian and said, "Send it to me tomorrow, and I will protect you in Hangzhou from now on! If you can't bring it, I will slap you in the face immediately!"

Someone behind Cheng Congxian muttered, "Isn't this robbery in the open..."

Someone immediately interrupted him: "Shh... Haven't you been beaten enough?"

Frost Leaf's eyebrows slightly raised. It seemed that the master's method of dealing with this bunch of playboys was really good... that is, he was even more playboy than them!

Cheng Congxian was about to cry: "...Can't I just return the fish to you?"

"Okay, that's it. I don't like eating fish either... I forgot to tell you, send the silver to Guangyuntai!"

Shen Xiyue simply didn't bother to get involved at all. After extorting the money, she took her foot off the chair and turned around to leave.

......

In front of the city gate of Hangzhou.

After the relief grain arrived, the number of disaster victims has obviously decreased in the past few days, but the guards guarding the city still conscientiously block the door and do not let any disaster victims with disheveled clothes in.

A dishevelled woman was shouting at the guards: "You are blind! Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me? I am the county lady!"

The woman's voice was hoarse, but one could still tell that she was young.

But perhaps because of being exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, the whole person looks disheveled, with his hair piled up like dead grass, and his tattered clothes barely covering his body. If you look closely, you can barely make out the exquisite embroidery patterns of the past.

The guard glanced at her with disgust, pushed her to the ground, and said with disdain: "Go away, don't go crazy here! If you are the county lady, then I am the king of heaven!"

Those who want to sneak into the city these days all make up a bizarre life story for themselves!

This is still considered good, she just said she was a county princess... Yesterday there was an old woman with gray hair who said she was a princess!

"How dare you! How dare you push me?! I'm going to ask my cousin the prince to chop you down!" The woman cursed and started crying in pain because her hand was cut by a stone on the ground, her face full of grievance and gloom.

"Crown Prince? Which crown prince? The one who provided disaster relief in Suzhou?" The guard was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "Then why don't you just go find him?"

Qin Qing bit her lip. She really couldn't respond to this.

Asking her to go back and find Murong Xuan, isn't that asking her to die? !

I don’t know if they knew she was useless, but Murong Xuan and that Young Master Jun no longer cared about her.

She sneaked out of the government office and begged all the way to Hangzhou City. She wanted to go into the city to find Zhilan and tell her that something bad had happened and she should run away quickly!

If she can't find Zhilan, then she will go to find Lord Cheng and ask him to send her home!

......

Chengfu.

The mansion where the prefect Cheng Su lived looked like an ordinary house from the outside. Even the stone lions at the door looked bald and had no dignity at all.

But once you enter the inner courtyard, you will find a different world.

There are carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets. The further you go in, the brighter and more spacious it becomes.

The small bridges, flowing water, and changing scenery make it even more luxurious than many aristocratic mansions in the capital.

In the study, Cheng Congxian knelt on the ground and cried: "Dad! Dad! That robber...he said I ate his fish and asked me to pay him money..."

His father Cheng Su was practicing calligraphy. When he heard what he said, his expression remained unchanged.

His calligraphy practice has become more and more fluent in the past few days, and his pen flows like a dragon. He wrote "Set sail to cross the vast ocean" with great ease and comfort.

Ever since Miss Gu left her message that day, they have been looking for a port near Hangzhou City.

Although Miss Gu is gone, he has to do what she left behind!

So he had to send people to poison the wells in Suzhou, but there was no news of these people afterwards...

Just when he was restless, his good son Cheng Congxian came back and told him that he had been beaten! And when he asked, he was even more shocked. The person who beat his son was actually the Prince Qi of Wenyuanhou Mansion!

......The lover of that irritable and scary Miss Gu came to Hangzhou to find her!

Cheng Su suddenly felt that he was saved again!

He thought that at this point, the most important thing he should do was not to do anything else, but to support Prince Qi. In this way, Miss Gu would let him go after she came back!

It's not that he didn't doubt the true identity of Prince Qi.

It was not until he heard that the courtesan Miao Yan had received orders and went to Suzhou in person to seduce the prince that he believed it without a doubt!

Cheng Su put down the pen in his hand and spoke with extreme confidence and inscrutableness:

"Congxian, whatever amount of silver Prince Qi wants, Dad will give it to him! Dad tells you, no matter what he wants, we must cooperate well... Forget it, just remember that not only must you not offend him, but you must also try to please him! Go quickly and give him the silver!"
