Chapter 8 The Hate of Taking His Wife(2/2)
"You still dare to mention the sun, moon, heaven and earth, which are as clear as a mirror. If I can get out of this unjust prison one day, I will seize you profiteers, confiscate your homes, and turn them over to the court. No one will be left alive!"
Zheng Xiu rolled his eyes.
At this time.
The iron door chain opened with a clang, and a strong gust of wind blew in. Scar Lao Liu, a tall man, hurriedly walked into the cell carrying a basin of food and wine.
As soon as he arrived at Zheng Xiu's door, he squatted down and lowered his voice: "Mr. Zheng, what's wrong, someone named you wants to see you!"
Zheng Xiuyile.
Scar Laoliu looked around furtively, mainly in the direction of the entrance. He asked uneasily: "Master Zheng, has the blade... been discovered?"
Zheng Xiu waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's just a few gold leaves. I won't do anything to you if I find them. You can just enjoy yourself for a few days." After a pause in his tone, Zheng Xiu's nose twitched, and after smelling for a moment, he asked again: "What are you holding?
Is it...my delicious dish?"
"They said these are the signature dishes of Xiangmanlou. They are like a hundred phoenixes and birds of prey, a golden boy and a beautiful girl. They are so rich and powerful. They are rising steadily, scoring twice, going from morning to night... Ouch, I said, these dishes are not
It’s so cheap. If Lao Liu hadn’t said it was for you, Boss Zheng, half of the gold leaf would have been taken off!”
Scar Lao Liu proudly reported the names of the dishes one by one, feeling secretly happy in his heart. He had done a lot of homework for this, and it took a lot of effort just to memorize the recipes. Ouch, I am so exhausted.
Zheng Xiu understood and the implication was that he didn't spend any money.
"Why did you order these unpalatable dishes?"
Scar Lao Liu was stunned: "How do you know it's not good enough without even looking at the food?"
"Nonsense, Zheng worked hard to think of the name of the dish. If it's not enough, others won't know it until they eat it. I, Zheng, still don't know?"
"Lao Liu is confused!" Scar Lao Liu frowned and wailed sadly.
"Forget it, let's give him something to eat. He's been hungry for a few days." Zheng Dashan pointed at the inmate opposite, intending to retaliate with kindness: "Did you just say that someone was looking for me?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Only then did Scar Laoliu remember the reason for his panic, and said quickly: "There is a big shot who wants to see you! There is also a table set up outside the prison camp. It is full of vegetables, and they are delicious. Lao Liu, I
Only when I came back did I find out that the pot was ready!"
"Big shot?" Zheng Xiu looked very calm. It was expected that someone would come. He followed the conversation and asked, "Who?"
Scar Laoliu's expression changed slightly, and he came closer: "Shi Wentong, the doctor of the household department!" He quickly said with a mournful face: "Mr. Zheng, tell me... We spent all our wealth and managed to get a good job, but today we won't
Are you going to get involved in your old age? To be honest with Mr. Zheng, I am still looking forward to this job to provide for my retirement!"
"It turns out to be Master Shit!" Zheng Xiu stood up and raised his hands: "Then I have to go see him and untie him for me."
Scar Laoliu put down the dishes, unlocked the door and entered the prison. Hearing Zheng Xiu's words, he hesitated a little.
It's against the rules.
"I, Mr. Zheng, are very particular about people. I can lose my head and bleed, but I must never let others see the joke. Don't worry, I will let you solve it. I, Mr. Zheng, will not bring trouble to my brothers. If there is anything that Mr. Zheng has to take care of, you can
You can rest assured.”
Scar Laoliu thought of the two pots of fine wine that Zheng's second wife sent to him during the day. He suddenly realized that Boss Zheng was indeed the richest man in the imperial city.
When I got up, there were still a few mosquito bites on the bloody wound.
Thinking about this, Scar Lao Liu had a clear idea. Since he was bribed, he should be bribed more thoroughly. So Scar Lao Liu neatly untied Zheng Xiu's handcuffs and shackles.
Scar Laoliu was delighted to hear the word "brother". He watched Zheng Xiu leisurely adjust his clothes after loosening his restraints, and stepped out of the cell with his hands behind his back.
"I didn't expect it to be Mr. Shit from the Ministry of Finance, but it was a bit beyond my expectation."
Scar Laoliu's sharp eyes saw that Mr. Zheng's expression was not very friendly. He followed him a few steps and couldn't help but ask more: "Is there something going on between you and Mr. Shi...?"
Zheng Xiu shook his head: "Generally, it's just the hatred of seizing his wife."
"Where did this old beast come from!" Scar Laoliu couldn't help but get angry when he heard this, and drew out his whip: "Oh, I didn't expect that Mr. Shi would dare to get involved when he saw that half of his feet were about to step into the coffin boards.
Master Zheng’s wife? Oh no, Master Zheng, haven’t you married a woman yet?”
"No, I will take his wife away."
Zheng Xiu turned around and glanced at the stunned Scar Lao Liu.
Who did you call a beast just now?
