The whole internet begged the girl to usurp the throne

Just as he was saying this, Chen Yuanxin, who was kneeling next to him, widened his eyes and immediately stopped him: "What are you talking about?? What a long snake. Didn't you remember clearly that when you paid the bill, you were told that there was only 40 taels of silver missing?"

Li Shan turned to look at Chen Yuanxin's angry face. After hesitating, he nodded: "Yes, it's 40 taels of silver. I, I, I remember clearly, it's 40 taels of silver."

Li Shan was so sure, but Chen Yuanxin's eyelids trembled, and his eyes were filled with twinkles of guilt.

Even he felt that Li Shan was making lies for his master.

The shopkeeper bowed to Zhong Shaoqing unhurriedly: "The cheapest tea and snacks in the shop start from one tael of gold. Although the shop also accepts silver from customers on weekdays, the amount told to customers by the shop is always gold, and It is not converted in silver, this is known to all the guests who have been in and out of Changxian Tower, your Excellency, you can just investigate and find out."

Therefore, he would only say four taels of gold, not forty silver!
What's more, what I owed last night was 41 taels of gold, not silver.

Zhong Shaoqing took advantage of the situation and asked Li Shan: "I will ask you one last time, what happened yesterday? If you tell the truth word for word, if I find out that there is a falsehood, I will be punished with fifty sticks in the lightest way, and in the worst case, Lock him up in the market place for a whole year."

The penalty for telling lies and giving perjury in court is heavier than the penalty for stealing and robbery.

In order to serve as a warning, the government often drew circles in major markets to prepare an inch of space, and placed a special cage to lock those who told lies and gave false evidence in it. They would eat, drink, and defecate in the cage. Being watched by everyone——

It's even more serious than that parade.

If the weather is bad and people freeze to death, that is normal.

Li Shan was instantly afraid.

Not to mention being imprisoned for a year, his body couldn't bear the gentle fifty-year-old slap!
But Li Shan first looked at Chen Yuanxin and begged softly: "Sir, please help me!"

Chen Yuanxin's face turned pale, he had already expected the worst outcome.

Seeing that his master was indifferent, Li Shan could only change his words to save himself:
"My lord is wronged. My master ordered me to say it."

Finally, Zhong Shaoqing asked: "Does Mr. Chen have anything else to say?"

"No, maybe I am just drunk and remembering things lightly, causing trouble to Mr. Shaoqing and His Majesty the Seventh Highness. It's a joke."

Even the servants serving around him turned against him and testified against him. How could Chen Yuanxin have any other arguments to refute!

Zhong Shaoqing: "Then I owe money?"

Chen Yuanxin: "I will get enough as soon as possible."

The shopkeeper interjected: "Please make sure to make up for it before midnight tonight."

Chen Yuanxin raised his head and looked at the unforgiving shopkeeper beside him, with a fierce look on his face:

"This matter has been concluded, and I accept it. Naturally, I won't rely on you. 500 taels of gold is not a small amount. You have to give me some time to raise and borrow it, right?!"

Shopkeeper: "You also said that 500 taels of gold is not a small amount, and it doesn't mean that you will definitely miss it, but you can't say just in case!"

"Let's follow the written agreement. There is still some time before the divorce. Whether it is selling or borrowing, it should be timely. If it is really not enough and is still short, we can make another appointment and delay the return with interest."

Chen Yuanxin twitched the corner of his mouth and could only respond.

The matter is settled, and there is nothing left for Zhong Shaoqing to do.

But His Highness Seventh Prince sitting next to him still had something to say.

"Zhong Shaoqing, can I lend you two of your envoys?"

"What is the use of His Majesty Seventh Prince?"

"It's nothing, I just want to help Mr. Chen. After all, I am responsible for Mr. Chen's slap in the face. Since they all sent me here, it would be a bit unjustifiable if I didn't just sit back and ignore anything."

Hearing Qi Hongwei speak like this, Chen Yuanxin raised his head and looked up, his eyes brightening a little.

Qi Hongwei met his expectant and grateful eyes and raised the corner of his mouth:
"Master Chen, one board and one gold, I will repay you as much as you can bear, how about that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light that had just risen in Chen Yuanxin's eyes dimmed again.

I thought His Majesty Seventh Prince wanted to show his support with dignity.
The shopkeeper standing next to him also looked at Qi Hongwei, but quickly averted his eyes and said nothing.

His Highness did not tell him about this incident beforehand.

But the master has the right to make temporary decisions.

Zhong Shaoqing frowned: "Your Highness, this is inappropriate."

Qi Hongwei interrupted: "What's wrong? You love me and I love you. I'm willing to fight or suffer. If you give me a gold, I'm willing to let you fight!"

Zhong Shaoqing: "."

Who dares to throw money at the prince and hit him?

It’s only these Seventh Highnesses who have so little moral integrity.
The shopkeeper spoke up: "I just want to ask His Highness to give me a few slaps."

Qi Hongwei: "Come on, you're that age, and this is in Dali Temple. If you do any good, Zhong Shaoqing will definitely embarrass me!"

Zhong Shaoqing: "."

Do you still remember that this is Dali Temple?
If this spreads out, where will the majesty and dignity of Dali Temple be!
"Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, I have no control over what you and Mr. Chen want to do, but in Dali Temple."

Before Zhong Shaoqing finished speaking, Chen Yuanxin interrupted:

"Okay, one board and one gold, thank you for your help, Your Highness!"

Qi Hongwei smiled as brightly as the wind, purely harmless.
-
Chen Yuanxin was lying on the bench, and the stick fell behind him without warning, causing him to scream in pain.

It hurts, it hurts to death.

He didn't lift his hands or shoulders, and he had never suffered such pain before!
Now, for a tael of gold, he would suffer such a painful blow! !
Qi Hongwei, who was watching from the front, threw a tael of gold to Chen Yuanxin: "Master Chen, do you want more?"

Chen Yuanxin, who was lying on the bench, looked at the gold on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness. Keep fighting. You don't have to stop if I don't tell you to stop."

He knew very well that even if he bought the house, he would not be able to raise 5000 taels of silver.

At present, if there is one more gold, there will be ten taels less.

If you can get ten more gold, you will lose a hundred taels.

Qi Hongwei: "Fortunately, I brought enough gold today. Since Mr. Chen wants it, let's continue the fight!"

After saying that, a heavy board fell on his waist and hip. The force was so hard that it was much more painful than the first board! !

"Ah!" Chen Yuanxin frowned in pain, so painful that he couldn't even breathe.

Immediately afterwards, lighter boards fell one after another.

Then another hard board fell.

Chen Yuanxin really couldn't bear the fact that one of them seemed to have a grudge, and he wished he could beat him to death.

He turned around——

Maybe he wanted to see who was using so much force, but also wanted to warn him not to use such force with his eyes.
But when he looked at it, he saw that the person standing to his right was Shen Yinlu! ! ! ! !
Chen Yuanxin's eyes widened in disbelief.

Shen Yinlu didn't expect that Chen Yuanxin would turn his head to look at her.

Chen Yuanxin supported himself on the bench and wanted to stand up——

But the pain in his back was so severe that he didn't dare to make any big movements to pull him. He couldn't stand and fell off the stool——

Li Shan and the shopkeeper next to him came to help.

When Chen Yuanxin took advantage of his strength to stand up and look back, the man playing the board had become the yamen servant again.

"Where's Shen Yinlu?"

He clearly saw it just now.

Li Shan: "Miss Shen? You didn't see it!" Chen Yuanxin's eyes were full of painful tears, and he shouted: "Impossible, I just saw her clearly, she was standing here."

"Master Chen!" Qi Hongwei asserted: "Is it possible that the drunkenness last night is not over yet? Or is it because of the pain that you are hallucinating?"

Chen Yuanxin looked at Qi Hongwei, saw Zhong Shaoqing again, then looked around, and finally asked Li Shan beside him in an uncertain voice:
"Did I really see it wrong?"

"Yes, sir, let's not suffer like this!" Li Shan looked a little distressed.

Chen Yuanxin's tight string came loose, and he gasped for air and asked, "How many times did you hit it?"

"Seven blows."

"Only seven strokes"

He was almost in pain, why only seven times?
Chen Yuanxin wanted to back off, not wanting to suffer this crime again.

But when he thought about the 500 taels of gold, he had to grit his teeth and muster up the courage:

"Hit a few more times to make up a round number!"

After saying that, he moved slowly and lay back on the bench——

He grinned and said weakly: "Thank you, brothers, save your energy, I will still be on duty tomorrow."

But be gentle, if you beat him, a fourth-grade official, to death, the Seventh Prince Zhong Shaoqing and Chang Xianlou will not be able to survive.

Having said this, the two cadres looked at the faces of Zhong Shaoqing and His Highness Seventh Prince, and after receiving a nod, they started to act a little more lightly.

But the flesh on my back has been injured, and it hurts even when I pull it. No matter how light the board is, it still hurts!
Chen Yuanxin wanted to grit his teeth and endure it, but at the same time he couldn't help it anymore. As soon as the board fell, he yelled first, then grunted, yelled again, and grunted again.
Qi Hongwei tossed the gold absentmindedly. He waved to Li Shan and asked in a low voice:
"You just said, Miss Shen?"

Li Shan looked at Qi Hongwei in confusion for a long time. He really couldn't understand why His Highness the Seventh Prince would ask such a question, so he nodded and raised his head.

Qi Hongwei was stunned for a moment, then curved his lips and gave Li Shan a piece of gold.

After Li Shan took it with both hands, he whispered like a mosquito: "Thank you, Your Highness."

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Yuanxin who was being beaten. He didn't see him and didn't even think about paying attention.
When he hit 37 boards, Chen Yuanxin's shouting voice was already weak.

He raised his hand to tell him to stop and did not dare to fight again.

If the beating continues, he will be crippled if not dead.

Li Shan wanted to help him up, but Chen Yuanxin didn't move and just ordered:
"Pick up the gold on the ground and ask two people to help me carry it to the carriage."

"Well."

Li Shan used the hem of his skirt as a pocket and picked up all the gold on the ground.

Chen Yuanxin looked at the gold in Li Shan's pocket and asked feebly:

"How many?"

"If I count correctly, it should be about 40 taels."

Chen Yuanxin: "."

Okay, let him make a profit.

Before being carried away, Chen Yuanxin had to say goodbye and thank His Highness Seventh Prince respectfully and politely.

Qi Hongwei weighed his money bag and said, "Mr. Chen, I prepared 100 taels of gold for you, but you have only taken less than half of it. Do you really not want it?"

"That's enough. Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."

"Okay, then Mr. Chen, please go back home and rest quickly!"

"Thank you Your Highness"

Chen Yuanxin was carried away with the bench under him.

After Qi Hongwei watched him leave, he threw the remaining bag containing sixty gold to Zhong Shaoqing next to him——

Zhong Shaoqing subconsciously reached out to catch it, and when he was about to say something, he saw Qi Hongwei striding forward to find Shen Yinlu who had been hiding just now.

But the person is no longer behind the courtyard wall.

"Hey, little one, you're walking pretty fast!"

Shen Yinlu only asked him to help. As for the reason behind this, he didn't say a word.

He was not stupid, he could know that she was targeting Chen Yuanxin without saying anything.

But I never thought that Shen Yixian was actually a girl? ? ?
This is much more interesting!
Zhong Shaoqing came over and handed the money bag back to Qi Hongwei:

"Your Highness, you have lost your money bag."

"Just take it!" Qi Hongwei didn't answer it and was about to leave after saying that——

Zhong Shaoqing didn't dare to ask for it, so she followed him, mumbling...
on the carriage.

The carriage was so small that Chen Yuanxin could only sit on the ground with his upper body leaning on the seat, so as to avoid compressing the injured part of his back to the greatest extent——

Even so, it is difficult to support the waist and hips, and the carriage is swaying
"Li Shan, walk slower!"

He couldn't take it anymore.

Li Shan, who was driving, quickly responded and asked the horse to go slower.

"Li Shan, you and I are master and servant. You have served me since you were a child. I tolerate you as my younger brother. Even if I do something wrong, I will not blame you. I just ask you to tell me the truth." , in today’s incident, were you bribed by the shopkeeper of Changxian Tower?”

He is neither stupid nor blind. Although he has doubted himself, he still believes in himself more.

The key is that the shopkeeper of Changxianlou is too aggressive.
Li Shan looked troubled and confused, but he still couldn't bear it and told Chen Yuanxin in the car:

"Sir, this is not the matter of the manager of Changxian Tower. You have offended other nobles!!"

Chen Yuanxin paused and frowned.

Did he mean the seventh prince?

It shouldn't be!
He had just entered the court for the first time, and he had just met His Highness Seventh Prince for the first time last night. The two of them could not talk about feuding.
Could it be because of Liu Honggao?

That's right.

The person Liu Honggao offended was His Highness the Seventh, no, His Highness the Sixth!

That's why he was affected and blamed by His Highness the Seventh Prince!

Chen Yuanxin closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The pain in his body was suddenly not as good as the worries he felt!
Chen House.

Liu Fengqin hurried back from outside and was extremely worried when she saw Chen Yuanxin lying on the bed with a very bad expression.

"Yuan Xin, what's wrong with you? Where is it hurt? How is it hurt? Does it hurt?"

The noise in his ears gave him a headache.

"It's okay, just pack up and go back to your parents' house first!"

Liu Fengqin was a little confused, "No, you are so seriously injured, I should be there to take care of you. How can I go back to my parents' home!"

Besides, there is no room for her in the Liu family now!
Chen Yuanxin looked very unhappy, and even said in a bad tone: "I don't need your care, just go back!"

Liu Fengqin was very innocent. I wonder why Chen Yuanxin was so cruel to her?

But considering that he was injured, she still coaxed patiently and gently: "What's wrong? What happened? Didn't you go to Changxian Tower to pay back the money? Why did you come back hurt like this?"

"Did you meet a gangster on the road?"
