Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 72;
With the help of the servant, the pale Xu Zhao got off the bed and knelt crookedly.

As soon as Emperor Hongwen finished reading the oral edict, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma again.

Just now when Lu Yaoyao asked Emperor Hongwen to call the shots, he was not present.

Hearing this oral order at this time was undoubtedly a fatal critical blow to him.

He and Gao's exhaustive schemes, in the end, they ruined their reputation, lost their official position and fame, and even spread misfortune to their descendants.

Originally, he thought that even if he lost badly, he could still bring Lu Yaoyao a bad reputation along with him.

It's better to talk than nothing, but now that this dictation comes out, Lu Yaoyao has completely cut off his relationship with his Xu family.

He even had to compensate the Lu family a huge amount of money.

It's really a lost wife and a soldier.

"Miss Lu, our family will lead someone to calculate the assets of the Xu Mansion first."

"Thank you, Eunuch Li."

Li De nodded and smiled, turned and walked out.

He had just left for a while when Qiu Shuang brought the second uncle of the Lu family here.

Lu Yaoyao briefly told him what happened at the eldest princess's mansion today.

The second uncle of the Lu family was shocked.

He was also one of the people who knew in advance that King Yun wanted to plot against Xu Zhao, but he never expected that King Yun's methods would be so ruthless.

This is not leaving Xu Zhao a way out.

But after being shocked, he felt relieved for a while.

Retribution, this is Xu Zhao's retribution.

"Okay, okay, little sister Izumi Youzhi should be able to rest in peace."

As soon as the words fell, the face of the second uncle of the Lu family suddenly changed.

"Oh, it's not good. If Xu Zhao did such a thing, wouldn't you be affected too?"

"Mr. Lu, don't worry."

King Jin said with a smile.

"Yes, you don't have to worry, my father has already decided for Miss Lu."

"From now on, she is a daughter of Jiangdong's Lu family, not the young lady of the Xu family. Everything Xu Zhao does has nothing to do with her."

As soon as the eldest prince opened his mouth, the second uncle of the Lu family was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into ecstasy.

"Really?"

"that would be great."

Seeing the second uncle's flushed face as excited as seeing so many treasures, Lu Yaoyao also smiled.

It took a while for the second uncle of the Lu family to calm down from his excitement.

"Who are these two nobles, Yaoyao?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce."

Lu Yaoyao quickly introduced each other.

Hearing that the two people in front of him were the King of Jin and the First Prince, the second uncle of the Lu family was shocked, and hurriedly saluted in panic.

Although the Jiangdong Lu family is well-known in the Jiangdong area, it is a family of merchants and their social status is relatively poor. Usually, they are cautious when they come into contact with local officials.

Not to mention first-class nobles like princes and princes.

The two were very easy-going towards the second uncle of the Lu family.

"Second Uncle, I asked you to come here because I have something to ask you."

"what's up?"

The second uncle of the Lu family turned his head.

"Today, I dared to tell His Majesty all about Xu Zhao's bullying and coercion of the Lu family."

"Thanks to His Majesty's grace, Xu Zhao has to repay the money he got from the Lu family in the past ten years."

"I don't know the exact figure. I will wait for Eunuch Li to settle the existing assets of the Xu family. I need you to check with him."

Hearing this, the second uncle of the Lu family was startled again. He felt that it was already a great gift for his niece to get His Majesty Long En to leave the Xu family.

Never thought it would be such a good thing.

I am happy now.

Although the Lu family was rich, it was earned through hard work. There was no way to give it to Xu Zhao all these years. After all, it was necessary to save the life of the niece, right?
Now that I can still come back, I began to calculate in my heart immediately.

Even though he made a contract with Xu Zhao in black and white back then, how much is it every year.

In the first two years, it was indeed based on this, but in the next few years, every time they came to give money, Xu Zhao would use various reasons to threaten them.

So over the past ten years, their Lu family has almost given Xu Zhao nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver.

A total of one hundred thousand taels, for a merchant like the Lu family, that is not a small sum.

When he revealed this number, King Jin and the First Prince clicked their tongues.

"This Xu Zhao is truly shameless."

The eldest prince nodded repeatedly on the side.

It was only when he joined the Lu family that he got support. With the ability to take the imperial examination in Beijing, he didn't want to pay back after he succeeded. Instead, he left the Lu family immediately after his wife died of illness, and even used his own daughter as a threat to force his wife's natal family to give money.

How can a person be so shameless?
More than half an hour later, Li De came back with the ledger.

After briefly explaining the inspection results, he immediately had Xu Zhao, who was in a coma, splashed with cold water to wake him up again.

In his words, since he wanted to talk about business, Xu Zhao, the person involved, naturally had to be sober.

Otherwise, if some gossip spreads at that time, His Majesty may blame him for his recklessness.

Seeing Xu Zhao who woke up again, Li De didn't talk nonsense, and directly explained the assets under his name one by one.

Just now, a maid came in outside.

"Who are you?"

"The servant has met several nobles, and the servant is the maidservant next to the madam."

Hearing this, several people frowned.

"The servant is ordered to come here and has something to explain to the master, so I will disturb you nobles for a moment."

The eldest prince just wanted to reprimand him, but was stopped by King Jin.

"up to you."

When he opened his mouth, Li De naturally couldn't refute, so he nodded and stepped aside.

Immediately, the maid took out a letter, walked to the bedside and looked down at Xu Zhao who was lying on the bed.

"Master, this is the divorce document that Madam asked the slave to hand over to you."

"Madam said that from this moment on, she is no longer your Xu family's wife, and she will pack up the dowry and leave the Xu family with the young lady and the young master in a while."

Xu Zhaoben on the bed was a little distraught by the blow just now, even if he woke up, he would still be looking up with empty eyes.

Hearing the servant girl's words at this time, his eyes quickly focused, he tilted his head a little stiffly, and stared coldly at the servant girl in front of him.

"What did you say?"

"This is the separation document from Madam. If this servant is going to help Madam pack her things, I will take my leave first."

The servant girl left a word, threw the divorce document in her hand on the bed, turned around and left.

"Tsk tsk, Master Xu, misfortunes never come singly."

The eldest prince shook his head, although he looked regretful, but the Jinshi gloated on his face.

"What sir? He has long lost his official position and fame, and is just a common man."

King Jin curled his lips. He also looked down upon a shameless person like Xu Zhao.

Being trampled on by a servant girl like this, and ridiculed like this, Xu Zhao's chest heaved violently, and his face was full of shame and resentment.

"Ouch, Mr. Xu Shu, don't faint again, our family doesn't want to splash you with water again."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and announce."

Hearing what the eldest prince said, Li De quickly spread out the ledger.

"Xu Shuren, the cash you currently have under your name is only one thousand seven hundred and thirty-five taels."

"There are two houses with three entrances under my name, but the seats are relatively remote. The current market price is around [-] taels, and the two houses are only [-] taels again."

"There is also a farm, which is only about [-] taels by visual estimation."

"The total is nineteen thousand seven hundred and thirty-five taels."
