After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 20

It wasn't until the words came out and Shang Qingyao looked at him with a vague expression that Xie Tangru realized that this joke was a bit beyond the bounds.But the matter has come to this, Xie Tangru is still looking forward to Shang Qingyao's reaction.

The result disappointed him greatly.

King Cheng looked at Xie Tangru very calmly, one could even say that he was unmoved, and said: "If you really want to be a princess, it's fine, but once the title is determined, you won't be allowed to regret it."

Xie Tang immediately put away his playful and teasing expression, and returned to a serious look.He doesn't want to be a concubine for King Cheng, so is it possible that he will be a widow for King Cheng?

Xie Tangru immediately said: "Thank you for His Royal Highness Cheng Wang's kindness, but unfortunately I really can't afford such a blessing. I can only live up to His Royal Highness's kindness."

"Don't make such a joke next time." Shang Qingyao looked at him for a while and said softly.

I don't know if Xie Tangruo listened to it, but Shang Qingyao immediately ordered his subordinates to strictly forbid him to discuss the matter of "Concubine Cheng".

If Xie Tangru was really a woman, what happened now would damage her reputation.Although Shang Qingyao knew that Xie Tangru was not actually a woman, gossip... could easily hurt people.

In the evening, Xie Tangru followed Shang Qingyao to meet the governor of Yuzhou.But the governor of Yuzhou didn't seem to want to see them very much.

The governor of Yuzhou was drinking with two beauties, and he was only one step away from taking off his clothes and going to Yunyu Wushan together.As soon as someone notified Xie Tangru and Shang Qingyao to come in, the governor of Yuzhou immediately sobered up in fright, pushed away the two delicate beauties, pretended to be serious, and reluctantly welcomed them in.

"Your Highness and..." He didn't know how to address Xie Tangru, and held back a sentence for a long time, "...What's the business of Madam's visit?"

Xie Tangru raised his eyebrows sensitively to the title "madame", then smiled lightly.

Shang Qingyao glanced at him.

"My lord and beautiful lady are by my side, such a good night is really enviable." Xie Tangru said with a smile.

The governor of Yuzhou twitched his face, accidentally touched his bones, and couldn't help but gasp.

It was really difficult for him to say a word to Xie Tangru.

Shang Qingyao said directly: "Someone has reported to the king that the governor took away the daughters of the people."

"This..." The governor of Yuzhou turned pale with shock, "This must be slander! I don't know where this person is, but I am willing to confront him face to face!"

He has a humble attitude, not because he is afraid of being a relative of King Cheng, but because he is afraid of the [-] troops behind him.

But the attitude of sincerely admitting mistakes is not at all.

Xie Tangru smiled and pointed to himself, "So the Lord Inspector wants to confront me face to face? That's fine, Lord Inspector, let's see where to start?"

"..." The governor of Yuzhou's face really paled now, the two beards on his lips moved, and he squeezed out a few words from the gap between his teeth, "...the lower officials never do things like robbing women. , there must be some misunderstanding, maybe the subordinates are ignorant and accidentally offended Madam, and the subordinates are willing to make amends on their behalf."

"Oh." Xie Tangru nodded and elongated his tone, "Lord Inspector is willing to make amends on their behalf."

"Then how does Lord Inspector prepare to make amends?"

The word "Apologize" was misunderstood by Xie Tang Ru Nian.

Shang Qingyao couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips, Wei Guogong's son's ability to climb up smoothly is really top-notch.

The governor of Yuzhou knew that it would be impossible to settle this easily without heavy bleeding. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his teeth were chattering with heartache: "Your Majesty is willing to offer 5000 taels of gold and a box of treasures and jades as a token of disrespect to my wife." apology."

As he spoke, he cursed secretly in his heart, others were robbed by force, but were you?You are a fucking fairy jumping!Shameless!mean!Let's do it!

Xie Tangru: "The governor is bold, but my maid was also frightened before. As a maid, I have always been treated like my own sister."

"Then give it to that girl..." The governor of Yuzhou's voice was trembling.

Xie Tangru cut him off, and smiled, "The governor is generous, but I can't be that greedy villain. How about this—the governor will give my sister 5000 taels of gold as an apology, and a box of jewelry and jade will be saved."

"It adds up to 1 taels of gold."

One... 1 taels...

Inspector Yuzhou's blood surged, he rolled his eyes, and passed out.

Xie Tangru blinked innocently, and signaled to Shang Qingyao: It's none of my business.

Shang Qingyao put his hands behind his back and murmured: "The governor of Yuzhou is in such poor health, how can he take on the important responsibility of a state? I think it's better to report to the court..."

"His Royal Highness Cheng Wang misunderstood, the officer just didn't catch his breath. There is nothing serious about it." The governor of Yuzhou got up from the ground and said a complete sentence without taking a breath.

Xie Tangru bent his eyes: "As long as the governor is fine, don't forget my 1 taels of gold."

Governor of Yuzhou: "..."

The governor of Yuzhou felt that he would not be able to come up in one breath.

It wasn't until Xie Tangru and Shang Qingyao walked out of the hall, and a young man with low eyebrows approached beside him, that Yuzhou governor's rapid breathing calmed down.

"His Highness King Rong asked when the Lord is going to do it?" The little servant said sternly, "His Highness ordered that King Cheng must not be allowed to leave the boundaries of Yuzhou."

The governor of Yuzhou is full of his 1 taels of gold. He worked hard to make false accounts on Yuzhou's taxes for so many years, and only then did he get 1 taels of gold!

A full 1 million taels!

The governor of Yuzhou was so heartbroken that he wanted to bleed.

The servant raised his voice and called him several times, and the governor of Yuzhou came back to his senses: "...I see."

The boy confessed another word, and the governor of Yuzhou nodded in agreement, and he left with satisfaction.

In the empty hall, the governor of Yuzhou slumped in a pineapple chair, muttering something.

"My 1 taels..."

The governor of Yuzhou was half dead, Xie Tangru was in a good mood, and even looked at Shang Qingyao much more pleasing to his eyes.

"Lord Inspector is really rich."

Shang Qingyao was a little amused, and said: "The governor of Yuzhou is greedy, but he still has the ability to do practical things. In the past few years he has been in Yuzhou, Yuzhou's business has developed a lot."

"But the lives of the people in Yuzhou haven't improved." Xie Tangru hit the nail on the head, "There is money, but it's all in the governor's pocket."

1 taels of gold.Xie Tangru sneered slightly. He didn't want so much at first, but the governor of Yuzhou was too generous - more than [-]% of the honorable families in Beijing could not afford so much money.

"You're right." Cheng Wang said, "When the first emperor was in power, he acted without morality. He set up a name to search for the people's fat and anointment, and the people under him just followed suit."

Xie Tangru glanced at him in surprise.

The first emperor was Cheng Wang's biological father, but Cheng Wang didn't leave any leeway when he commented on the first emperor.Should it be said that the relationship between father and son is really as bad as rumored?

But what did it matter to him?Xie Tangru thought for a moment, then put it behind her.He changed the subject and said, "I heard that the night market in Yuzhou is bustling, but I haven't seen it yet. Will His Highness King Cheng go back first?"

He mainly wanted to find a reason to get rid of Shang Qingyao.Anyway, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang has a lot of things to do every day, so he doesn't have the time to follow him, does he?

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang really has this kung fu——Shang Qingyao said: "I'll go with you."

"..." Xie Tang hesitated to speak.

Shang Qingyao pretended not to notice, and smiled slightly: "You are a young woman who is alone at night, I am afraid it is not safe. The incident of the governor of Yuzhou is already a lesson for the past, Ah Fei, you should be more vigilant."

Xie Tangru felt endless ridicule.With a flick of his sleeve, he turned and left: "As you wish."

Shang Qingyao raised his eyebrows, the delicate and precious eldest son really didn't know how to pretend to be a woman.If it were someone else, I'm afraid his manhood would be exposed without seeing him twice.

But Shang Qingyao didn't intend to do this.On the one hand, he had to take Xie Shizi's self-esteem into consideration, and on the other hand, he felt that Xie Tangru's appearance was more lively and interesting.

He smiled slightly and followed Xie Tangru's footsteps.

The author has something to say: King Cheng uses props [1 taels of gold], which can capture the character Xie Tangru's favorability +0.1.

Governor of Yuzhou: I am the only one injured.

【I drank a little alcoholic drink with my roommate yesterday, and then I became dizzy.Looks like I can only drink plain water at parties in the future x]
