Chapter 116 Weighing the Pros and Cons
The two servants stared at Fu Qian in a daze, then quickly ran outside.
Fu Qian laughed, walked to Cai Shoucai's side and said, "I want to beat you today, and even the emperor can't stop me. I said it!"
Arrogant!
The whole place was dead silent.
There was only the sound of fists hitting flesh.
Cai Shoucai just held his breath and didn't say a word.
Fu Qian smiled and said, "Okay, let's continue drinking. Wait a minute, I have something to ask of you."
As everyone was talking, they started to clink glasses.
…
After the two servants left.
The soldiers were divided into two groups, and one went to report to the authorities.
The other one went directly to Cai’s house for help.
Cai Shoucai's wife, Wen Manyun, was already waiting in the mansion.
Because before Cai Shoucai attended the banquet, he had expressed his concerns to Wen Manyun.
After hearing what the servant said, Wen Manyun hurriedly asked, "Have you reported to the police?"
The servant nodded and said, "Madam, seeing how arrogant Mr. Fu is, I'm afraid that the people from the Ministry of Justice have been bribed by him. I won't do anything about it today..."
Sure enough, another servant came over to report to the authorities and said that they had been to Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice.
However, they all agreed but did not take any action.
"As officials appointed by the imperial court, how could they become the running dogs of these people? Prepare the sedan chair and go find our father." Wen Manyun was originally a lady from a wealthy family, and she had no idea what to do when she saw people acting like scoundrels.
"Sister-in-law, it may be of no help to ask Old Lady Wen for help. It is better to go to the hostage house and find Xie the hostage." Cai Qingyin heard the noise and came out to say to Wen Manyun.
Wen Manyun asked with a hint of doubt, "Thank you, proton?"
"Sister-in-law, how about this? You go find Old Man Wen, and I'll go find Xie the prostitute." After a brief consideration, Cai Qingyin gave her suggestion.
Wen Manyun nodded repeatedly.
The two of them went to work.
…
Inside the hostage house, Xie Xunfeng was fiddling with some medicinal herbs.
While guiding Jing Fei and Guan Chong to practice more.
Just at this moment, a servant came over and said that Cai Qingyin wanted to see him.
Xie Xunfeng felt a little strange. Could it be that something happened that made him come here in the middle of the night?
After asking someone to invite Cai Qingyin in.
Cai Qingyin recounted the incident in general terms with an anxious look on her face.
Guan Chong, who was originally beating the wooden man, suddenly shouted, "Fuck! They even dared to hit my brother-in-law! They are really crazy! Brother, after all, they helped us out before. We can't just ignore it."
Xie Xunfeng nodded and said, "Of course! Jing Fei, prepare the carriage."
Cai Qingyin was touched and said, "Xie Jizi, you should be careful too. Fu Qian is the young master of Huitong Commercial Bank. Even in Kyoto, he has many connections and relationships. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant ."
Xie Xunfeng nodded calmly and said, "Don't worry. Since he dared to understand my friend, no matter who he is, he will have to pay the price."
Guan Chong echoed from the side, "It's bad luck for that grandson to mess with us."
Just as he was about to walk out, he ran into Huangfu Chou head-on.
"I knew they would come looking for you. Don't worry, the people have been rescued..." Huangfu Chou said, pointing to the carriage waiting outside the door.
Xie Xunfeng looked at Huangfu Chou in a daze, then looked at Cai Qingyin.
Cai Qingyin shook her head and said, "Isn't it me who went to invite Mr. Huangfu? Could it be my sister-in-law... No, it can't be so fast..."
Xie Xunfeng walked to the carriage, looked at Cai Shoucai who was beaten black and blue, frowned slightly, looked at Huangfu Chou and said, "This is..."
Huangfu Chou followed Cai Qingyin and said, " I've brought the person to you. You can take him back. I checked him out and he's fine. He just has two broken ribs and some skin injuries. He'll be a brave man again after lying down for half a year."
Cai Qingyin's eyes suddenly turned red, but she still saluted Huangfu Chou.
Huangfu Qiu shook his head and said, "Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank him..."
Huangfu Chou pointed at Xie Xunfeng while speaking.
Cai Qingyin bowed again.
Xie Xunfeng took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, handed it to Cai Qingyin and said, "After the doctor's examination, take one of these pills every day. It will be good for his injuries."
Upon seeing this, Cai Qingyin quickly bowed again.
Xie Xunfeng didn't waste any words and waved his hand to signal him to go back first.
After seeing Cai Qingyin off, Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Chou, "Huangfu Ling, what are you doing..."
Huangfu Chou didn't say much and walked straight into the hostage house.
When they arrived at the mansion, Huangfu Chou said, "Don't thank me. I did everything according to His Majesty's orders!"
"Your Majesty's order? Could it be that Your Majesty knows that Cai Shoucai will be beaten today?" Xie Xunfeng asked Huangfu Chou.
Huangfu Qiu shook his head and said, "It was His Majesty who asked me to keep an eye on you. His Majesty said that tomorrow's boudoir meeting is very important. He is afraid that the Fourth Prince cannot handle it alone. So he asked me to keep an eye on you and make sure that nothing happens to you at this critical moment and that you will miss tomorrow's boudoir meeting. After my spies heard about Cai Shoucai's incident, I guessed that they would come looking for you. In order to prevent you from having a conflict with Fu Qian, I will help you solve it first."
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Chou, "Why? Are you afraid that we can't solve it?"
Huangfu Qiu shook his head and said, "I know you have the ability to deal with him. But, since you showed up today, he will be on guard... Do you understand what I mean? Besides, you really can't just do it to Fu Qian. Even His Majesty doesn't dare to offend the behemoth Huitong Commercial Bank easily. If you hurt their young master in order to save a small shopkeeper, even His Majesty can't save you."
Xie Xunfeng raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty doesn't dare to offend. Why should I be afraid?"
Huangfu Chou said, "Thank you, Jizi, you are a smart man. It's not that I don't want you to mess with me. But I want you to have a legitimate reason to do so, so that His Majesty can have a reason to deal with you! Go and shut up Huitong Commercial Bank."
Xie Xunfeng nodded and said, "Don't worry. Fu Qian came here at this critical moment, and he definitely didn't come to attend the boudoir meeting to find a girl. He will definitely find trouble tomorrow. You go and tell His Majesty. I will naturally make sure that this boudoir meeting goes smoothly!"
Huangfu Chou said calmly, "That's best. Don't touch Fu Qian easily."
Xie Xunfeng smiled faintly and said, "That depends on what he does..."
…
At this time, in Huiyuan Building.
Fu Qian and Yuan Yuan were the only ones left in the room.
Yuan Yuan said in confusion, "Third brother, why did you give face to Huangfu Chou just now! This matter is not his business at all! If you insist on not giving the person to him, he can't do anything about it."
Fu Qian said calmly, "Cai Shoucai has been beaten half to death, and he doesn't seem willing to give in. As long as our goal is achieved, that's enough. Do you really want to beat Cai Shoucai to death? What good will it do us? Huangfu Chou is your majesty's minion! When doing things, you have to weigh the pros and cons, understand?"
