"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation."
"This is the process... This is a misunderstanding... I was drunk last night and I didn't even touch Princess Linchuan with a finger. Early this morning, I sent the Princess' gift back to the Prince's Palace in Linchuan, even carrying the dowry. gone back."
Qin Shigong cried with snot and tears about the misunderstanding about picking up the wrong person yesterday, with very detailed details.
He even imitated the way he fell to the ground drunk in the new house several times, repeatedly emphasizing that he had not touched Su Yuyan.
Xiao Yushu sneered and shouted loudly:
"Do you think I'm a fool? And I'm still claiming to be a misunderstanding..."
"I am the Crown Prince of Zhennan. When a prince or prince welcomes a bride, he can use the auspicious sedan chair with dragons and phoenixes. Why do you, Uncle Chang Ning, use the same specifications? If the two sedans are not exactly the same, how could they be wrong? You are overstepping your bounds!"
"I think you Tema have ulterior motives!"
As soon as he said these words, he immediately became silent. Even Qin Shigong was stunned.
What Xiao Fool said actually makes sense!
The Zhou Dynasty stipulated that the auspicious sedan chair with dragons and phoenixes could be used for the marriage of princes and princes; for the title of Bo Zinan, only the second-class sedan chair with phoenix pattern could be used.
It's just that no one cares about these regulations anymore, and there is no investigation from the higher ups.
In recent years, when nobles get married, they all use the highest-grade dragon and phoenix to present auspicious sedan chairs.
But rules are rules,
It does exist,
And it was written into the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If someone really takes this to compete, it is irrefutable proof!
Qin Shigong was dumbfounded by Xiao Yushu's question and couldn't say anything to refute.
I wipe——
Is this guy really a fool?
The dignitaries who were watching took a breath. If the Zhennan Hou Mansion refused to let go of this, Qin Shigong would be in big trouble!
"Is this Xiao Yushu really a fool? I didn't even think of this."
"There must be an expert behind the Prince of Zhennan!"
"In this case, the responsibility for this matter will be entirely Lao Qin's. If the marriage granted by the Holy Spirit is done like this, Lao Qin will probably be in trouble."
"The Marquis of Zhennan will not give up. Xiao Luoshen is not a good person."
"If Lao Qin is a wise man, he should get married as soon as possible! If there is a big commotion, the Zhennan Marquis Mansion will be embarrassed at most, and he will probably even lose his title."
"Old Qin said that he didn't touch Su Yuyan. If it is true, he is a bit pitiful."
"Yes, if you don't touch other people's women, you will be severely punished by the Holy Spirit..."
"You believe it even if he says he hasn't touched her. Are you willing to let your son marry Su Yuyan?"
"Of course not! Who knows what happened that night?"
…
Qin Shigong looked at Xiao Yushu's stern eyes, and there was no chance of him getting lucky at this time.
He came closer to Xiao Yushu, sighed, and said helplessly and pitifully:
"Please, Your Majesty, please let me live! As long as you don't hold me accountable and save my family of more than 100 people in the Changning Mansion, I can do whatever you want."
Xiao Yushu patted Qin Shigong on the shoulder with the back of his knife:
"Old Qin, this is the attitude you have to ask for forgiveness. I, the dignified Prince of Zhennan, have suffered such a huge loss of reputation. Do you have to compensate me?"
Qin Shigong cursed in his heart, you are a dandy and a fool, you have a bad reputation and a stupid reputation.
Where does that good reputation come from?
He had a smile on his face and quickly nodded flatteringly:
"Yes, the prince is right. We need to compensate!"
"Okay, I'll suffer a little loss. You can pay one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"One hundred thousand taels?"
Qin Shigong almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
I have sold everything inside and outside my Changning Marquis Mansion, and I don’t know if I can raise a hundred thousand taels.
After paying this money, more than a hundred people will starve to death.
"Your Majesty, one hundred thousand taels is too much. I really don't have-"
"Snapped--"
The sword flashed, and the side of Zishuang's blade suddenly hit Qin Shigong's face, causing his face to swell immediately.
The nobles present were all shocked. They did not expect Xiao Yushu to be so violent and domineering.
The lively and festive atmosphere that had been seen earlier suddenly subsided, taking on a bit of solemnity.
"No?"
Xiao Yushu said with an unruly smile:
"Haha, I'm going to seize Uncle Chang Ning's mansion now. I'll sell the fine furniture in your mansion, and then sell your concubine and daughter. If it's not enough, I'll sell your mother."
Qin Shigong was so dizzy that he covered his face and choked with sobs:
"Your Majesty, my mother is old and worthless. You are so pitiful, can you give me ten thousand taels?"
Although Qin Shigong had an errand as the Deputy Envoy of the Forbidden Army, there were a lot of princes and princes in charge above his head, and everyone was focused on the small amount of military pay and military expenses.
The amount of money that fell into Qin Shigong's hands was not much. He had a large family in Chang Ning's house, and he had to supplement his family's relatives, so his life was not very rich.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be coveting Su Baira’s dowry.
To him, ten thousand taels was a large amount of money.
"Snapped--"
Xiao Yushu was rude, and the other side of Qin Shigong's face was swollen.
Qin Shigong cried pitifully and helplessly like a cicada:
"Your Majesty, twenty thousand taels, I really can't afford more."
There was silence all around, and the air seemed to be frozen.
The dignitaries who were watching looked at Xiao Yushu with complicated eyes.
This silly prince Xiao, who usually laughs and giggles and is harmless to humans and animals,
He went crazy and became violent,
It's so ferocious that it sends chills down your spine.
What's even more ridiculous is that he actually holds the truth.
Even if Qin Shigong is beaten or blackmailed by him, he can only endure it honestly...
Qin Shigong couldn't help it for a moment, hot tears and urine flowed down one after another.
As Uncle Chang Ning, there were times when he was flattering, and there were times when he was angry with his superiors, but this was the first time that he was bullied into such a bad manner and felt so desperate.
Xiao Yushu laughed loudly when he saw it:
"Uncle Chang Ning, you actually peed... Forget it, let's take it twenty thousand taels. Send it to me to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion before noon tomorrow."
The surrounding knights of the Zhennan Army were all laughing. Looking at Chang Ning Bo Qin Shigong, who was shivering like a quail and peeing, their eyes were full of disdain.
This group of dignitaries looks glamorous, but when faced with the swords and swords of our Zhennan Army, they all look like idiots.
Qin Shigong felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He wiped his tears and said quickly:
"It will be delivered to the Crown Prince before noon tomorrow."
Xiao Yushu said calmly:
"Since you made a mistake, Princess Wu County has nothing to do with you. Bring her marriage certificate, wedding invitation and wedding ceremony to this prince."
Qin Shigong was startled and then understood.
Xiao Yushu must have slept with the princess of Wu County and was about to take her into his room. He couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry.
The fiancée he had arranged for slept with someone, and he had to pay her 20,000 taels of silver. He had not even touched the hands of Princess Linchuan.
What a bully, who can I ask to explain to you?
What was even more aggrieved was that he was caught trespassing in a sedan chair and had to ask for trouble when he came to His Majesty.
You can't beat him in a fight, and you can't reason with this idiot!
I, Lao Qin, have been wronged so much that I can only swallow it with tears...
After Su Bairan's marriage certificate, Gengjie and wedding ceremony were brought, Xiao Yu took the book and put it in his arms.
He turned the horse's head and simply shouted:
"Walk!"
The snow-white horse galloped first, and the armored knight followed like a dragon, roaring away in the blink of an eye.
The movement was like thunder, and the grace of commanding the army made the eyes of the ladies from aristocratic families on the nearby wall shine brightly and their faces turn red:
"Prince Xiao is so handsome, but he is completely different from the stupid guy in legend."
"Prince Xiao is so majestic and majestic, it will definitely be honorable to marry him."
"Su Yuyan's marriage is not consummated, so can I marry Xiao Yushu?"
