Chapter 30: The Unlucky Settler
"Why not, it just so happens that I don't like the An family." Zhao Zimu raised his eyebrows, "Your snacks are very innovative." ”
"It's all made by myself, and although it's not a precious ingredient, it's delicious." Mo Xiaoqi thought in his heart, maybe he could use this prince to suppress the An family this time.
"If the prince likes it, I can send someone to send some to the prince's residence." Mo Xiaoqi added.
"No, I'll send someone to your shop." Zhao Zimu did not reveal his residence, which was agreed with Zhao Hongyi.
If Mo Xiaoqi knew that he lived in the Li Mansion, then Zhao Hongyi's identity would be in danger of being exposed.
Zhao Hongyi is the third prince of the dynasty, and no one in the entire county knows about it except him.
"It's fine." Of course, Mo Xiaoqi wouldn't know these things, but she could see that Zhao Zimu was curious about her.
"Xiaoqi, I think for a while, we have to go to the county office. A homicide case is being tried there. Zhao Zimu raised his eyebrows, he promised Zhao Hongyi to help him.
"But Zhang Dou Zhang Hua's case?" Mo Xiaoqi asked.
"Yes." Zhao Zimu pursed his lips, "Xiaoqi, I heard that you have a son?" ”
Zhao Zimu began to change the topic, what he was thinking about now was to take this woman into his pocket.
Not for anything else, but from the Li Mansion, his imperial nephew likes this woman.
Speaking of children, the stiffness on Mo Xiaoqi's face softened, "Yes, but my tree is still small." ”
"I have a few children at home, but they are not talented enough." Zhao Zimu said casually.
"Lord Wang, let's hurry up to the county office, I'm worried about the case that Hongyi is trying." Mo Xiaoqi thought carefully in his heart, even if the evidence was sufficient, the An family would not necessarily be honest and honest.
"It's okay, but after the case is closed, can I go and see your tree?" Zhao Zimu nodded and looked at Mo Xiaoqi.
The two came to the county office, and the case had already been tried halfway, and the young master of the An family did not show up, but only sent a housekeeper to come.
"Lord Zhao, who is that young master of the An family? How dare you refuse your summons? Zhao Zimu said that in the county town that Zhao Hongyi governed, there were also local snakes.
Zhao Hongyi sat in the hall with him and whispered: "With the power of my county order, of course I can't shake the rich and powerful snake of the An family." Uncle Huang, why don't you come. ”
"Imperial nephew, you really kept the covenant and did not use more than half of the power that did not belong to the county order." Zhao Zimu had to admire him, he really hid it for three whole years.
"I've always done what I said." Zhao Hongyi whispered.
"Smack!" There was a shocking sound, "This king will ask you, Anfu's housekeeper Anping, your young master, why don't you come?" Couldn't Lord Zhao invite him, and couldn't this king invite him either? ”
"The grass people have seen the prince." The housekeeper An Ping trembled, thinking that he was just here to perfunctory this county order. Young Master An also told him that he had already established a relationship with his distant relative in the palace, Father-in-law An, and he was not afraid of this little county order at all.
But who would have thought that an unknown prince would suddenly appear. An Ping was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't stop wiping his sweat with his sleeves.
The evidence cited by the county magistrate Zhao Hongyi all pointed directly to the An family.
"Lord Zhao, send someone to Anfu to invite this Young Master An again!" Zhao Zimu said solemnly.
Zhao Hongyi sent someone to An's house, but who expected that Young Master An would say that he was hungry and would not go until lunch.
The head of the fast catcher sneered, took out the prince's token, and forcibly took An Yize away.
When he arrived in the court, the evidence was laid out one by one, and the little six beside him was arrested and put in prison. And the An family was convicted of plotting to falsely accuse Ke Laixiang.
But in this way, Zhao Zimu felt that it was not enough, and it was not beneficial to him. So he rolled his eyes and asked An Yize: "Young Master An, your sin can't escape, but this king has a compromise solution, so that you can not only not go to prison, but also be exempted from responsibility." ”
An Yize gritted his teeth and nodded: "It's all up to the prince." ”
He thought to himself that it was nothing more than spending some money, but what he didn't expect was that the prince in the hall would say something jaw-dropping.
"Since Young Master An has nodded, it is up to this king to decide. The young master of the An family is close to the five shops in the city, so he will compensate the guest for incense! ”
Five shops, this is a heavy hemorrhage, Young Master An suddenly raised his head and wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but the impatience on the face of the prince in the hall made him understand that he could not resist.
"Mo Xiaoqi, are you satisfied with this compensation?"
Mo Xiaoqi set aside the lively crowd and walked to An Yize's side and glanced at him lightly. Looking at An Yize's begging appearance, he felt a little funny.
"The little woman thanked the prince." Mo Xiaoqi finished this sentence in An Yize's surprised and hateful gaze.
"Mo Xiaoqi, you can't be too greedy." An Yize whispered, fiercely, and warned.
Mo Xiaoqi lowered his eyes and only said, "This sentence is also returned to Young Master An." ”
"Lord, the little woman has one more request." Mo Xiaoqi had a great impression of Zhao Zimu, and he spoke a lot more respectfully.
"You speak." Zhao Zimu Lang said.
"I want to choose these five shops." Mo Xiaoqi made this request, unintentionally giving An Yize a heavy blow.
If it is up to the An family to decide which five shops to give to, the loss can be reduced, but if it is chosen by Mo Xiaoqi, the result is unknown.
"That's right." Zhao Zimu looked at Mo Xiaoqi's cunning face, and actually thought it was very interesting.
"Uncle Huang, you are fooling around, how can you judge like this." Zhao Hongyi complained in a low voice.
But Zhao Zimu disagreed, glanced at him and said, "What does it matter?" Anyway, I have a reputation for being a fool. ”
I thought that Zhao Zimu's nonsense would end here, but no one expected that he would suddenly stand up and say loudly: "Mo Xiaoqi, this king looks at you very pleasing to the eye, why don't you go back to the capital with this king?" ”
Mo Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Zhao Zimu to say such things to a widow who had only met twice.
"Lord, the little woman doesn't want to." Mo Xiaoqi's frankness made Zhao Zimu feel good.
"Oh? Why? Zhao Zimu looked at her, and the teasing in his eyes made Zhao Hongyi angry.
"Uncle Huang, don't force her."
"The little woman still has a one-year-old child to take care of, and she can't accompany the prince to the capital. Moreover, you just gave me five shops, didn't you? I'm gone, who's going to take care of it? Mo Xiaoqi shrugged, and his relaxed words made Zhao Zimu laugh.
"Okay, this king won't force you." If Zhao Zimu was interested in Mo Xiaoqi because of Zhao Hongyi before, then now, it is because he is interested in Mo Xiaoqi himself.
"Lord Wang, if you have this idea because you like to eat fragrant dishes, then you don't have to worry, you give me the maid around you, and I will teach her to cook a few dishes." Mo Xiaoqi's words made Zhao Zimu very satisfied, he really liked the fragrant meals.
