Lin Xiangyu couldn't help laughing when she heard that Zhu Qiyu called himself the King of Qi. After hiding her mouth and laughing for a long time, she straightened her face and replied seriously:
"You see, isn't it a coincidence? This concubine is Princess Qi."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he stretched out his hand to push Lin Xiangyu against the corner, slowly brought his face closer, and praised happily:
"The girl is really a knowledgeable and wonderful person. We just met this morning, and before evening, the girl offered herself to the mat and offered to be my woman.
A girl who understands current affairs like this is truly a rare and talented girl. If I don't want you tonight, I'll be sorry for the girl's sincerity. "
Lin Xiangyu blushed with embarrassment, and said in an aggrieved tone: "Who recommended themselves to the pillow? It is obvious that the young master does not study, and he can't even hear the ridicule. What the slave family just meant is: If you can be the king of Qi, then I will still be the king of Qi. Where is Princess Qi? This is a mockery of your daydreaming, young master."
Zhu Qiyu replied dissatisfiedly: "I'm not kidding, I really am the King of Qi."
Lin Xiangyu's smart eyes were filled with deep pity, and she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "If you are the real King Qi, then this concubine is the real Princess Qi."
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu took Lin Xiangyu's left hand, gave Lin Xiangyu three high-fives with his right hand, and said seriously: "High-fives are an oath, and a word is finalized. In one month at the latest, the girl will become the official Princess Qi. .”
Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was so serious, Lin Xiangyu was a little unsure, so she had to ask weakly: "But Young Master, please wake up, we don't have a King Qi in the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Qiyu replied categorically: "Yes! Please wait and see, girl. In one month at most, our Ming Dynasty will have King Qi, and there will also be Princess Qi at the same time."
Lin Xiangyu replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait and see. I just want to tell His Highness Prince Qi that your Princess Qi is hungry. Can we have dinner first before continuing to dream?"
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he let go of Lin Xiangyu and turned to call Cheng Jing.
Cheng Jing and others had already prepared dinner, but they didn't dare to enter the courtyard. It wasn't until Zhu Qiyu called that the food was brought in.
Just listen to Zhu Qiyu's instructions: "Mr. Cheng, those people will come again in a while. When the time comes, just bring them in."
Cheng Jing asked curiously: "Is it possible that those people will go and come back? Then should we strengthen our vigilance?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "No, they are here to ask for help. We are the bosses now. Be a little more arrogant and don't give them a good look. They still can't figure out our details. The more arrogant you are at this time, the more arrogant they will be." Afraid of you."
Cheng Jing hurriedly agreed, but he was dubious in his heart. However, less than half an hour after dinner, Magistrate Zhang came again accompanied by Mr. Wang Dashan.
But this time Wang Dashan's attitude changed drastically. When they met, he bowed kindly and took a large ingot of silver and stuffed it into the arms of Cheng Jing and others.
Although Cheng Jing and others were greatly surprised, fortunately Zhu Qiyu had given instructions first, so they had no choice but to lead Magistrate Zhang and Wang Dashan to the backyard and directly into the main hall.
Zhu Qiyu was lying down and resting when he heard the noise. He put on casual clothes and took Lin Xiangyu out to the main hall to sit down.
When the two magistrates saw Zhu Qiyu coming out, they hurriedly bowed and confessed.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "How can you two be guilty? If you want to be guilty, it is me who is guilty. After all, I sheltered the escaped slaves and you caught me and exposed me, right?"
Mr. Wang Dashan hurriedly stepped forward and held up a document with both hands: "What happened today is all because of the villain's ignorance and his expectation of superiority. Don't be as knowledgeable as the villain.
The villain is willing to give Miss Lin to the superior as a token of his gratitude to atone for the sin of the collision. I hope the superior will accept it. "
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Lin Xiangyu and saw a look of reluctance on Lin Xiangyu's face. He immediately understood and smiled at Wang Dashan: "I heard that Miss Lin and several other girls were raised alone in a house by Yuan Wang. In the other courtyard, I think if Miss Lin left alone, she would not be able to let go of the old sisters, nor the old things that she is used to."
Wang Dashan gritted his teeth and said with a cruel smile: "I have raised ten women in the other courtyard. Now that I think about it, I am old and old. I really have no blessings to enjoy, so I am wasting my natural resources."
Therefore, the villain is willing to dedicate these ten women, together with the other courtyard and all the furniture and property in the courtyard, to the superior minister. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction, took the slave contract, and said with a smile: "Son, wouldn't it be great if the good man had already been informed and knowledgeable like this? Why make it so complicated? Tomorrow morning we will go to the government office to cancel the slave status of several girls. ”
Wang Dashan was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly asked: "Has the charge of reselling grain been dropped?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Prefect Zhang, let's go first. We will meet at the government office tomorrow morning. I have some other things to discuss with Mr. Wang Dashan alone."
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Zhang felt as if he had been granted a general pardon. He hurriedly saluted and left.
Zhu Qiyu dismissed Cheng Jing and others again, and then smiled at Wang Dashanren and said: "I have one more thing to ask of you. If the Dashanzi is willing to accept it, I will expose the matter of reselling grain. In the future, as long as you will not continue to attack the enemy, If we sell grain, no one will continue to pursue this matter.”
Mr. Wang Dashan hurriedly smiled and said: "The Lord is so kind and virtuous. Don't mention one thing, even ten things. It doesn't matter."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Don't be too happy, good people. I want detailed accounts of how you resell food. Including who is involved, how the food is transported, and which officials in Beijing receive the benefits. In short, you resell food. I want to know all the details."
When Wang Dashan heard this, he was so frightened that he fell down on his chair. After a while he said angrily:
"Are you trying to amuse me? I will give you all the evidence of my crime, and then you will turn around and take the evidence to report to the police, killing all my family members.
Do you think this is appropriate? I am Wang Dashan, not Wang Dashan. "
Zhu Qiyu smiled hurriedly and said: "Come on, Lao Wang, have a sip of tea and relieve your anger. As you get older, you need to calm down and take good care of yourself, and don't get so angry."
"Oh, what a difference. It's not that the villain is too angry. The ten girls I raised cost me tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Now it's all handed over to Shangcha. Shangcha can easily earn hundreds of thousands of taels by selling it with his eyes closed. Even if he keeps these girls for his own use, the villain is guaranteed to get a happy experience that even two hundred thousand taels can't buy.
Killing people can only be done with a nod of the head. If you get such a big benefit from your superiority, why not show your superiority and accept it as soon as it is good? Why do you have to force the villain's whole family to death? "
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I don't want to force you to death. As long as you hand over the account book, I guarantee that your family will be safe and free from illness and disaster."
Wang Dashanren said angrily: "Why should I trust you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu picked up Lin Xiangyu's slave deed and handed it back. Wang Dashan was stunned and heard Zhu Qiyu smile and say: "If you take this slave deed back, I don't need you to hand over any account books.
After your family is exterminated and your property is confiscated, and all your property is taken into the government, I will just go and get the slave deed back from the government, so I don’t need to accept your favor. "
When Wang Dashan heard this, he was so angry that his blood surged up and his face turned red. After sitting there for a long time, he sighed:
"It's okay to hand over the account, but I have a condition: I have to wait until tomorrow night. If the important court official you mentioned really appears in Baoding Mansion and confirms your identity, I will secretly hand over the account book to you.
And I have to guarantee that I will never be held accountable again. "
