Chapter Twenty-Six: Two Old Fritters

Early in the morning, the innocent dormitory became noisy, and the two bickering voices outside the door made the whole dormitory very noisy.

Mr. Cao and Qiu Zhonghu were anxiously red-eyed, arguing with each other, scolding the street in the courtyard with their loud voices, the two of them were in a state of flux, and even the birds on the osmanthus tree in the yard closed their mouths, not daring to disturb these two mad dog-like human races.

"Stinky boy! The old man is twenty years older than you, and you actually say that I am an old whore! Today I have to find His Highness to comment on the reasoning and find out who is the whore!"

Qiu Zhonghu blew his beard and glared, his old face was already more ruddy than Guan Gong, and he scolded: "You bastard lingers in the Qinglou all day long, and you even have the face to say about me, do you know that I went to the Qinglou to find you!? I didn't expect you to sue the wicked person first and slander me!

He didn't have much confidence when he spoke, but he performed his anger to the extreme, pinched a cold sweat in his heart, and said secretly: "I didn't expect the old man to be seen by this bastard when he went to the Qinglou once, I can't admit it, otherwise His Highness will have to detain me!"

Thinking that he had just retired and could still get a fortune, and it was hereditary, Qiu Zhonghu couldn't help but want to laugh, feeling that his decades of driving for Yunmeng Guosheji were not in vain, and he felt that he wanted to vent this happiness, he originally planned to have a good time in Qinglou for a few days, but he didn't expect to meet Mr. Cao early in the morning after only one day, which really made him surprised and angry.

Between talking and laughing with Mr. Cao, I don't know what I said wrong, which provoked Mr. Cao to say that he was an old prostitute, and now it's okay, the two people who were originally hippie and smiling tore their faces, and came to the innocent bedroom noisily to find him to judge.

At this time, Yu Wuxian was still sleeping in bed, and when he heard the noise like a tractor outside, he couldn't help frowning angrily, got up from the bed softly, and rushed out of his room angrily, scolding without seeing who it was.

"I'm going to you two uncles! It's okay to run to the king's bedroom and shout nonsense, are you hemorrhoids or mouth ulcers!? You two have eaten gunpowder! Noisy! This king's dream has been disturbed by you! Ha! Damn!"

He yawned vaguely, rubbed his eyes, and the blurred figure in front of him gradually became clear, which shocked him and almost fell to his knees.

Qiu Gong!? Chief Cao!?

The sudden appearance of these two people made him think a lot for a while, thinking of going to the Qinglou the day before yesterday, thinking of the two guys robbing women in the Qinglou, thinking of the things that these two guys had to know deeply, no matter what it was, Yu Wuxian was a little scared!

He looked at Qiu Zhonghu, his heart tightened, he quickly turned his head and took a few deep breaths, and said secretly: "It's over, it's over! This old guy suddenly came to me, could it be that he wanted to scold me!?

Yu Wuxie's whole person was not good, he hurriedly gave Mr. Cao a look at Mr. Cao, who was angry, but Mr. Cao didn't pay attention to him at all, and he was arguing with Qiu Zhonghu with relish.

"Ahem, ahem, two, just now this king thought it was Dongfeng and Xihe, these two stinky boys have been quarreling recently, which has caused this king a headache, so he scolded! This king scolded Dongfeng and Xihe, not two, you two better calm down and tell me what's going on?"

Yu Wuxie didn't smile at the flesh, he was really afraid that his going to the Qinglou would be exposed, so his great image in the eyes of the people would no longer exist.

"That's... Hehe, Your Highness! Yesterday, Wei Chen went to the Qinglou to wander around, and met Qiu Gong, he is very powerful, he is happy with the three girls, and the shot is also generous, and the reward is ten taels of silver!"

Mr. Cao was drunk, and a drunken ugliness came out of his speech, his expression was cold, and he criticized Qiu Zhonghu with righteous words: "The empire has a rule, if an official goes to the Qinglou to mess around, it will be detained, although Duke Qiu has retired, but he still leads the court's Yulu, this matter must also be done according to the rules, please Your Majesty detain him Yulu!"

He looked sinister, bowed his head and bowed, and burped.

"Indeed!?"

Yu Wuxian forcibly endured the worry in his heart, and said with an unchanged face: "Duke Qiu, you are the elder of the two dynasties, whether this matter is true or not, if it is false!

He didn't dare to say anything, for fear that he would let Qiu Zhonghu know that he had also been to the Qinglou, so he directly asked Qiu Zhonghu if this matter was true or false, and led the topic to Qiu Zhonghu whether he went to the Qinglou or not.

Hearing Yu Wuxian's question, Qiu Zhongwan didn't think about it, and said directly: "The old minister hasn't been there!"

He took a look at Yu Wuxie and found that he was not suspected, so he breathed a sigh of relief, glanced coldly at Chief Cao, and thought: "You bastard still want to fix me! I don't admit it, and His Highness will not pursue it because of my age, hmph!"

When he was happy in his heart, he didn't notice that Yu Wuxi's eyelids jumped a few times, and his expression stiffened at that moment.

This old guy probably hasn't washed his face for decades, and he's so thick-skinned!

Yu Wuxian really didn't expect Qiu Zhonghu to be so refreshing, but he didn't admit it, which made him cry and laugh, so he couldn't help but glance at Chief Manager Cao, and deliberately asked: "Chief Manager Cao! Duke Qiu said that he didn't go to Qinglou, you dare to slander the elders of the two dynasties, and this king will deduct you for a year!"

He rolled his eyes, glared at Mr. Cao very seriously, and then looked at Qiu Zhonghu with a smile on his face, and comforted: "Duke Qiu doesn't need to say much, as an official of the imperial court, Mr. Cao dared to go to the Qinglou to fool around, it is really corrupting the dynasty, I will severely punish him, Duke Qiu rest assured!"

Qiu Zhongwan was startled when he asked, feeling a little guilty in his heart, but for the sake of his reputation and wealth, he also hated the disease, as if he was also very sad about this matter, pointed at the nose of the head of Cao, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Chief Manager Cao smiled coldly, quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and said: "Your Highness! This matter is absolutely true! Weichen really witnessed Qiu Gong dashing in the Qinglou, the Qinglou is called selling his body and not his art, and it is very filthy, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the old bustard in the Qinglou!"

He just understood Yu Wuxian's eyes, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and mended the knife again: "Your Highness, do you remember the night pearl you gave to Qiu Gong, his old man is very powerful, and he actually gave the night pearl to the girl in the Qinglou, his old man's ears are soft, and he was blown by those warm nephrite girls, and he also gave it to the waistband of his trousers!"

Finished!

Qiu Zhongwan's face was like ashes, he didn't expect that Manager Cao even knew about this matter, he had a good time yesterday, and as soon as he was happy, he gave the night pearl on his body to the girl who served him, now it's okay, he was taken by Manager Cao to talk about things, he felt uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Your Highness! Mr. Cao's blood spurted people, the old minister's night pearl was stolen by thieves, I was afraid that the thief went to the Qinglou to be happy, Chief Manager Cao looked away, and mistakenly thought that the old minister was messing around in the Qinglou, so he said this! Your Highness, do you have to believe the old minister!"

He simply raised his heart to his throat, his expression was very serious, and he looked at Mr. Cao viciously, as if he had been greatly insulted and wronged.

This old guy!!

Yu Wuxian took a deep breath, and was forced to lower his three views by what he saw today, he looked at Qiu Zhonghu, he really couldn't raise his anger, and couldn't help frowning: "Okay! Since this is the case, this king will not pursue the matter of Qinglou, but Qiu Zhonghu! You old guy actually lost the night pearl given to you by this king, do you know that it was rewarded to me by the first king!!"

He really didn't want to continue to discuss the topic of the Qinglou, so he took a step back, gave Qiu Zhonghu a step, and gave himself a step, although he was full ......of smiles, he secretly scolded in his heart: "Why is this old man so shameless! This king obviously saw him go to the Qinglou with his own eyes, and he still didn't admit it."

If it weren't for the fear that he would go to the Qinglou by himself, Yu Wuxian would never have been investigated to the end, after all, a fool could also see that Qiu Zhonghu was ashamed in his heart, and Qiu Zhonghu's face was as red as a monkey's ass during the whole process, and no one with a discerning eye could see it, and he didn't expose it in order to leave a way back for himself and Manager Cao, and he didn't want to make such a fuss.

"The old minister is guilty!"

Qiu Zhongwan breathed a sigh of relief, he still felt lucky in his heart, and thought: "Your Highness really understands the matter, thinking that I am old and turn a blind eye to the affairs of the Qinglou, if anyone dares to speak ill of His Highness in the future, I have to greet his ancestors for eighteen generations!"

He suddenly had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, quietly waiting for Yu Wuxian's punishment, but he was relieved a lot, after all, compared to the evidence of going to the Qinglou, the matter of losing the Night Pearl was much smaller.

Yu Wuxian was overjoyed in his heart, and reprimanded angrily: "Bold! You dare to lose the night pearl that the previous king gave to this king!!!

He shouted at the top of his voice for a long time before he saw a guard come over, quietly looking at her and the other two, who couldn't help but laugh, and lowered his head and waited for Yu Wuxi's order.

Did you hear something!?

Yu Wuxian glanced at the guard, and found that this thing actually wanted to laugh, so he couldn't help coughing: "Ahem! Qiu Zhonghu lost the Imperial Night Pearl, and the Yulu has been halved since then to replenish the treasury, Qiu Gong, do you have any complaints?"

The guards on the side got the order, nodded directly, and went down to pass on Yu Wuxie's order, and spread the news to Niu Hu's ears, so that Qiu Zhongyu's income would be halved.

At this time, Qiu Zhongyu's heart had already exploded: "Complain!? what the hell can I complain about, so you still leave half of it for the old man, otherwise the old man really doesn't know where to cry!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

He nodded to accept the punishment, then stood up and saluted, and said: "There are still small matters in the Weichen family, if His Highness has no other instructions, the minister will retire first!"

Yu Wuxian asked and smiled: "In this case, Gong Qiu, please go back, this king still has to settle accounts with Chief Manager Cao!!"

Qiu Zhonghu was stunned for a moment, his heart blossomed, he glanced at Mr. Cao meaningfully, and left with a smile on his face.

This old guy!

Yu Wuxian was really speechless, looking at Qiu Zhongyu's departing back, I really don't know how shameless this veteran of the two dynasties is, and Yulu, who has been half detained, still has the face to ridicule others, which is really enough.

He looked back at Mr. Cao, and he didn't get angry, and scolded directly: "You really let me say something, don't you hurry up and tighten your belt if you don't have money, you are happy in the Qinglou, then the old bustard didn't embarrass you!?"

Manager Cao smiled and nodded: "No, she accepted 10,000 taels of gold from Her Highness, and that was not happy, even I was surprised, His Highness would use 10,000 taels of gold to redeem that woman, it was too much!"

10,000 taels of gold is indeed a lot, and the annual income of the people of the entire Yunmeng country is only one tael of gold, according to the tax, a common person needs to pay taxes of one tael of silver a year, and the annual income of the treasury is only 200,000 taels of gold, and it is indeed a bit extravagant to take out 10,000 taels to buy a Qinglou woman.

"Hehe! It's okay! The old bustard will send it back, and he will give more to this king!"

Yu Wuxian sneered: "You go to Qinglou these days, I will send someone to arrest you and make trouble for her, she will naturally send us silver, 10,000 taels of gold, make trouble for a few days, she will give us more!"

When asked, Mr. Cao's eyes lit up, and he felt that Yu Wuxian was really a wonderful person, and the strategy he thought of was also a "clever plan"!
