Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

Chapter 299: Loyalty Earl's Mansion

"Your Majesty, have you thought of anything?" Chief Steward Li saw that Emperor Yuan's face was not right.

"The father and son were thrown into prison for no apparent reason. It may be difficult to release them to make money for me. Their Zhao Mansion has been sealed off, which makes it difficult to deal with..."

Li Zongguan observed the emperor's expression and knelt there without saying a word. He was waiting for Emperor Yuan to think about something.

"Let's end it by saying that we have made a mistake. You go and announce the decree in person, and tell him that I feel guilty towards the Zhao family. I am here to compensate Mr. Zhao by giving him the title of Earl, bestowing the title of Loyalty, and rewarding him with some jewelry, pearl hairpins, and brocade silk for women. Mr. Zhao has a daughter, so I'm sure she can use some of that. Tell him that the court has let him down and that he has been wronged this time. In the future, you can bring my jade pendant to ask for a promise, and I will definitely agree."

"This……"

"Do you think I've been too good to him? I've finally figured out a lot of things. I want to give Yu'er a dynasty with a full treasury. So what if I'm better to a commoner like him? He should learn to take some small losses. How can you understand that, you bastard?"

"Yes, yes, yes. How could an old servant like me understand these things? I just hope that the emperor will take care of himself."

"The silver allocated to Ganzhou County this time cannot be taken from the national treasury. Ask the prince for it. If he doesn't ask his mother to find a way, send it to Prince Xiao's mansion before Xiao Jue leaves and do it!"

"Slaves obey orders"

"Is that all? Nothing is missing?" the old general asked, putting down his teacup.

"Grandfather, I really didn't miss anything. I'm so tired and my mouth is so dry. Mother~" Su Jinxiu looked at Zhao

Zhao poured him a glass of water.

"Although they have their reasons, they didn't tell the adults at home. We can't let them off easily. Xier will give them ten lashes later," the old general said. Everyone wanted to say something but didn't dare to disobey. Only Zhao Keke knelt in front of the old general and said, "Old general, it was Keke who threatened his life. It has nothing to do with him. I beg you to have mercy on me and forgive him. I'll do it for him."

"No, you haven't fully recovered yet, you can't get hurt again."

"Injured? What happened? Xiu'er, is that all you have to say?" Zhao stared at Su Jinxiu.

"I didn't know Coco was injured and I didn't know what happened. Xier didn't tell me, and Coco didn't tell me either." Su Jinxiu cried out in injustice.

"When did you get injured?" the old general asked

"I remember it was about... ten days ago!"

Zhao looked at Keke, and finally under questioning, Keke made up an excuse.

"So, it seems that Chu Bianzhuan was also assassinated more than ten days ago and almost died." The old general looked at Zhao Keke on the ground.

"It's me. Your aunt knows that I have some martial arts skills. I heard that he put a lot of effort into putting my father and brother in jail, and tried to please the princes, so I..." That's all I can tell you.

"Pa!" Zhao slapped him loudly.

"Aunt, what are you doing?" Wen Xi quickly hugged Zhao Keke, who had slapped her on the ground.

"He knows a little bit of fighting skills. Do you know that the emperor has taken a liking to him now? He is the counselor of the second prince and is protected by experts. How dare you? Do you want to kill me? Your father and brother are already in jail. If anything happens to you, tell me. Tell me what I should do." Zhao couldn't stop crying.

"I'm sorry, auntie. I'm sorry. Keke won't be so impulsive next time." Zhao Keke forgot to consider her auntie's feelings.

"You dare to do it again next time"

"No, no, aunt, no, I'll take care of her," Wen Xi hugged her and assured Zhao.

"Okay, get up. Xier, keep these ten sticks!" The old general asked them all to get up. Then Su Yanchen and Su Luobai talked about what happened in the court today.

Wen Xi smiled. She was indeed his sister. It all depended on how much the emperor was willing to spend.

"Xi'er, what are you laughing at?" the old lady asked

"Keke, you don't have to hide anymore. Maybe someone has already cleaned the Zhao Mansion," Wen Xi said.

"What do you mean?" they asked

"Think about it, if Gu Xiao were to give the emperor the money for the wine he brought back, the emperor would definitely not want to pay that much money. If he doesn't want to pay from the national treasury, what should we do?" Su Jinxiu asked

"Did you call Gu Xiao's name? Behave yourself!" Su Luobai scolded

"Then we can only release Mr. Zhao and his son from prison to make money, but this statement..." Qin said with some disapproval.

"Of course there is an explanation, otherwise Uncle Zhao and the others wouldn't come out so easily. If there is a first time, there will be a next time, so this time the emperor must bleed," Wen Xi replied

"Be careful what you say and do" the old general said

"Grandfather, this is one of the ten great generals' mansions. I dare not talk about other places." Wen Xi smiled slightly

The old general looked at Wen Xi, his heart was quite active but his face was not showing it. It turned out that Xi'er had been hiding her incompetence all these years. Very good, very good. He said that the child born by his precious daughter must be a dragon and a phoenix, and tears appeared in his eyes.

"Very good, Xi'er, if you guess right this time, I will go to the Zhao Mansion to apologize to Mr. Zhao and ask him to forgive your unreasonableness." The old general's sudden words made people a little confused.

"Old General, no need, I will explain it to Dad, it's all my fault..." Zhao Keke was afraid of getting Wen Xi into trouble, but it seemed like she got into trouble anyway.

At this time, a servant from the mansion came to report, "Old General, someone has cleaned up the Zhao Mansion again. The plaque has been taken down and replaced with the name of the Earl of Loyalty's Mansion."

"Loyalty" Wen Xi chuckled. This meant that the Zhao family should always remember who the Earl's reward was and be loyal to the dynasty.

"He was given the title of Earl at this time?" Zhao asked

"Yes, but for this name, we need the emperor..."

"Don't talk nonsense,"

"What's wrong with being a loyal and righteous marquis? He is loyal and courageous. This is a banner given by the emperor. Who will dare to talk about him being the number one imperial merchant in the world in the future?" Wen Xi glanced at Zhao Keke and said

"Yes, I, Zhao Keke, took this flag."

"Okay, let's just eat something here today. Jiu'er happened to bring back a lot of food. I'll send some to the Earl of Loyalty's Mansion when they're done. It's not convenient to invite them over today." The old general looked at Wen Xi and Zhao Keke with satisfaction.

"Thank you, General."

"Still calling you old general?" Zhao said with a smile

"Thank you, grandpa and grandma." Zhao Keke's shy face was full of pink, but she didn't shout out hypocritically.

"Good girl, come, accompany grandma to see what the little one brought back." The old lady stretched out her hand.

Zhao Keke quickly stood up and held her mouth to answer. The women followed the old lady.

The remaining men looked at Su Jinxiu again. Su Jinxiu shrank his neck and asked, "What else are you going to do?"

"Your elder brother is relying on you for this matter. Remember that?" Su Luobai looked at him like a dog, disdainful.

"Xiu'er, does it hurt that your uncle was a little impulsive just now? You have to help your elder brother this time." Su Yanchen looked at Su Jinxiu with some guilt.

"Little cousin, my sister has asked you to help. If you can't do this well, then... I won't cooperate with you in the restaurant business." Wen Xi took out her trump card.

The old general looked at him without saying a word.

"Grandfather, why don't you say something? If you don't, I'm scared!" Su Jinxiu was unsure.

"There's nothing much to say, just understand it yourself." That's all the old general said.

Ahhhhh, help!
