Chapter 4: Nobles

An Lingsu thought about her father's leg injury and looked up at Mrs. Zhou.

She wants to see what this Mrs. Zhou has to say!

"That's right. Mrs. Zhou nodded lightly, and said in a pun, "That Dr. An is an honest person, he doesn't talk nonsense, and he is not like some people, he is really sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, and he will bite people indiscriminately when he opens his mouth." ”

An Lingsu was damaged by this, but he didn't mind, but smiled faintly.

"What Madame said is that if I hadn't figured out my father's injury, I think I'd have sharpened my teeth and mouthed a little harder. She looked at Mrs. Zhou, but threatened word by word.

"Miss An, this is originally your An family's own business, and Mrs. Ben is not easy to talk about. However, since you Miss An asked, then I have no choice but to say it. Mrs. Zhou frowned slightly, but suddenly raised her eyebrows and sighed, "Your father's leg injury has nothing to do with our Zhou family." He was wounded by a horse while he was leaving the city. As for who the man was, Mrs. Ben did not know. ”

"Really?" An Lingsu was a little skeptical.

If not, why didn't Dad tell himself?

Could it be that there is something else hidden in this?

An Lingsu looked up at Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou nodded calmly.

"Nature is true. Mrs. Zhou looked at her and said with a faint smile, "If the girl doesn't believe it, you can go home and ask your father." ”

An Lingsu lowered his eyes slightly, and after a little thought, he already understood.

"Madam, what you said is not right?" she raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhou, and said unhurriedly, "Why was my father injured by a frightened horse? Mrs. Zhou, the cause of the incident is all because of your Zhou family, and now, my father is injured, how can your Zhou family have to compensate for some medical expenses. ”

Medical expenses?

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she frowned.

Their Zhou family is naturally not inferior to those few medical silvers. It's just that today she has suffered a big loss in the hands of this girl, and if she wants to give the silver out, she is not very happy.

"What, Mrs. Zhou, don't you want to give it?" An Lingsu smiled, as if talking to himself, "It doesn't matter if you don't give it, then one day after I An Lingsu climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix, I will come again to ask for this silver." ”

It's climbing the dragon and the phoenix again!

Mrs. Zhou's eyes sank.

"Miss An, how much silver do you want, please tell me directly. She asked in a deep voice.

"Not much. An Lingsu looked up and smiled, "Ten thousand taels." ”

"Ten thousand taels!" Mrs. Zhou exclaimed in surprise.

This girl, does she know what the concept of 10,000 taels is?

"What's the matter? Mrs. Zhou thinks it's too much?" An Lingsu smiled, intriguing, "If Mrs. thinks it's too much, then Mrs. Zhou can naturally give less of this medical fee." It's just that I'm going to talk to you about this hush money with you......

And hush money!

Mrs. Zhou immediately understood.

"It's not much, how can it be more than 10,000 taels!" Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "Come on, go and get 10,000 taels of silver tickets." ”

Soon, the descendants of the Zhou family brought a large stack of silver tickets.

An Lingsu naturally smiled generously.

She was not a greedy person, and the reason why she asked for this 10,000 taels of silver ticket was just because she was angry with Mrs. Zhou's previous domineering. What's more, my father's leg injury is more or less related to the Zhou family.

"So, thank you, ma'am. She stuffed the silver ticket into her arms, smiled and nodded, "Madam, your noble business is busy, so Su Su will not bother you and leave first." ”

took the silver ticket and exchanged it for a free body, this marriage contract...... It's a good deal!

An Lingsu was very satisfied, and after bowing to Mrs. Zhou, she turned around and was about to leave.

But I don't want to......

"Wait. Mrs. Zhou stopped her and said meaningfully, "Miss An, you are a girl who goes out alone, and now you have so much silver in your arms, I'm afraid it's not safe to go out, right?"

This girl is about to threaten people when she opens her mouth and closes her mouth, and she is really powerful. Now, she wants to give her a taste of what it feels like to be threatened.

Mrs. Zhou looked at the girl in front of her and smiled intriguingly.

Now, she wants to see, what else can this girl do?

Although she would not have gone to the point of informing the ruffians in the city that the girl was carrying a large sum of money, she would have been glad to threaten the girl with it.

It's just that...... , how could this girl smile so weirdly?

"Mrs. Zhou," An Lingsu didn't mind at all, but turned around and smiled faintly, and asked lightly, "The noble man in the mansion is about to leave, right?"

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her face changed drastically.

"How do you know about that nobleman!" said Madame Zhou tremblingly. If it weren't for the fact that the real nobleman was in their house at the moment, how could she be pinched by this girl with a word?

This is not because the phrase "climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix" can never reach the ears of that nobleman.

However, the arrival of that noble person was the most confidential matter in the entire border province! The people in the entire Yunlin City who knew about this matter could count it on one hand. How did she know about such a confidential matter, how did she know about it?

"Madame thinks that I am a little girl, how did I come to this Yunlin City from Donglin Town?" An Lingsu smiled lightly and asked rhetorically.

Did you come with that nobleman?

Thinking of this possibility, Mrs. Zhou's face changed again in an instant.

No wonder this girl just opened her mouth and closed her mouth to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix! It turned out that she already knew that the real nobleman was in their Zhou Mansion at the moment!

An Lingsu stopped talking, and after bowing, she walked out past the servants in the house, her skirt fluttering, dignified and polite, but she had a casual and lazy and chic attitude.

......

As soon as An Lingsu left the Zhou family, an ordinary carriage with a pitch-black appearance also followed behind her, drove out of the side gate of the Zhou family, and spent half a day through the entire Yunlin City, out of the west city gate, and continued to walk slowly westward, disappearing into the sight of the soldiers standing on the city gate.

Except for the fact that it was an indifferent boy of fifteen or sixteen years old who drove the car, which surprised the soldier a little, the carriage that continued westward did not attract anyone's attention.

It wasn't until he was walking on the official road and could no longer see the shadow of the high city wall of Yunlin City behind him that a cold female voice came from the carriage.

"Hokage, that's what that girl really said?"

A young girl in a small border town was able to find out her whereabouts and recognize her identity, and used her to threaten the lady of the Zhou family, and successfully blackmailed 10,000 taels of silver.

That girl, there's something interesting.

"Not bad. The handsome young man named Hokage, driving the carriage, said with a blank face, "Master, that girl is indeed a little strange, Qingluan has already followed." "Their whereabouts are very hidden all the way, and it stands to reason that they are not something that a girl in a border town can detect.

But that girl just knew!

"Hmm. The woman in the carriage replied lightly and stopped speaking.

The carriage continued its journey all the way west, silently.

At this moment, in the study of the Zhou family in Yunlin City, a tall oil lamp is being lit.

The bright light dispelled the last trace of darkness in the study, but the flickering candlelight reflected on Zhou Beihong's face, which appropriately reflected his swaying mood at the moment.

As the highest governor of the entire eastern province of Yunlin City, with a population of hundreds of thousands, Zhou Beihong, who was short and fat, but had a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, was actually a little unimpressive.

Dressed in a cyan official robe, although there were some worn-out marks on the collar and cuffs, it was as heavy as a mountain, so that there was some smell of iron and blood that people couldn't breathe, but at this moment, it emanated from the body of this short and fat man who was not amazing.

Zhou Beihong stood in the study, looked up and silently looked at the map hanging on the wall, did not speak, but the momentum on his body became more and more fierce.

"My lord......" A staff member who was shaking a feather fan in his hand and wearing a white Confucian robe seemed to be a little unable to bear the pressure brought by this long-term loneliness and momentum, and couldn't help but open his mouth.

However, he just saluted the supreme governor of Yunlin City, and just shouted out to his lord, but before he could say anything substantial, Zhou Beihong suddenly turned around, glanced deeply at this staff member, and ordered in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhang, you go and make arrangements, and send Madame back to the capital first." ”

"Beijing?" Mr. Staff couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help frowning, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, will this be too heavy?"

Madame was sent back to the capital because she made a mistake. In this way, she will definitely not have a good life in that big family.

"Heavy?" Zhou Beihong's face sank, and at the moment when his face sank, there seemed to be a thick bloody aura filling this hall.

"If it weren't for the fact that she and I have been married for 20 years, and gave birth to such an outstanding son as Chen'er for me, just based on her wild words today, I would have divorced her, and it would have been light!" Zhou Beihong looked at this staff member and sighed helplessly: "Mr. Zhang, you don't want to think about the current situation of our Zhou family! If you don't send your wife back, if you don't dissipate the anger of that nobleman, your wife will die even more ugly! It's not good, even our entire Zhou family will have to go in!"

Mr. Zhang, the staff member, heard this, and his heart tightened. He knows very well what kind of courage Zhou Beihong, who has been in the border army with a mixture of dragons and snakes for decades, has such a status as he is now. It's just that in the past three years in this Yunlin City, this Lord Zhou's temperament seems to have converged a lot, but he doesn't want to, it turns out that he is just hiding it well.

"My lord, what kind of person is that person who came to the house today, even a young man who drives a car has such a bearing?" Mr. Zhang nodded, but couldn't help but ask.

"Driving?" Zhou Beihong suddenly sneered, his slightly squinted eyes looked more and more dangerous, "Mr. Zhang, you have also been in the border army, you should know ---- some things, or the less you know, the better." And there are some things, you know, I'm afraid you won't be able to live. ”

"My lord, the student knows that he is wrong. Mr. Zhang's heart was cold again, and he bowed and said, "The student will go and arrange for his wife to return to Beijing." ”

After Mr. Zhang, a staff member, walked out of the door of the study, Zhou Beihong picked up the tea cup on the table in front of him, and smashed the tea cup in his hand on the ground with a "snap".

This time, his wife really caused him a big disaster, and he almost broke the day!

If the dragon and the phoenix are attached, can they be casually put on their own body? What's more, she knew that the one was in their Zhou family at that time!

However, it was only a matter of counting breaths, Zhou Beihong's unspeakable anger calmed down, and he didn't even change the official robe that was splashed with some tea on his body, and walked out of this somewhat dim study.

With the arrival of that one, this Cloud Forest City, and even the heavens of the entire eastern border province of the empire, will probably change.
