Wangye's honeypot is lost again

Chapter 255 [255] Make a bet

Before Bai Xingkuan left the Shijia, she left behind a small tiger's head card, which was specially made by her and represented herself.

"You take this card tomorrow and go to the Holy White Tiger Gang and Xinghai Guild to have a look. You can stay wherever you like. If you don't like it, I will arrange it for you. There is always a place that suits you."

Bai Xingkuan's words carried a kind of power, it sounded very casual, it didn't stress people out, but it made people feel extremely at ease, as if they had finally found a direction.

"Okay!" Shi Yuzhuo held the sign tightly, and the self-blame and guilt in his heart did not decrease, but he had a different feeling, like the wall that surrounded him suddenly felt A small light hole was opened, allowing him to accept a little different world.

The carriage continued to move forward, there was only one family left for today's task, and the small book said it was Duke Chenghua's Mansion.

The Duke of Chenghua's mansion has three sons, the eldest son, the son, and the second son.

The mother of the eldest son was the daughter of the Zheng family of the imperial merchant. When she married Duke Chenghua as a concubine, she brought a lot of dowry. up.

Now the eldest son of the concubine is already twenty years old. After asking his aunt and father for his biological mother's dowry to no avail, he went directly to the Beijing government office to file a complaint.

At first, Jing Zhaoyin had the guts to take care of the Duke's family affairs.According to the laws of Da Zhao, only the children of the birth mother can inherit the dowry. Jing Zhaoyin acted according to the law, and the result was soon.

It's just that Duke Chenghua didn't care about Jing Zhaoyin's judgment at all, and after giving him a little trick in a very perfunctory manner, he dismissed the eldest son.

The eldest son of the concubine was naturally unwilling, so he went to the Yamen of the capital again. Jing Zhaoyin was also a little angry, and seemed to be threatened, so in desperation, he went to the memorial angrily.

The memorial was quickly presented to the emperor, and then the emperor handed it over to the empress dowager, and then there is no need to say more.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Duke Chenghua's mansion. Chenghua's mansion is very grand, and the facade is a little smaller than the original palace. There were four guards standing on the left and right. When they saw the carriage approaching, they immediately stepped forward to stop it. up.

Bai Xingxuan jumped out of the car, took out his White Tiger card and shook it, "Do you know this?"

This brand is newly made, and I don't know many people, but by coincidence, one of the guards likes boxing, so he knows Bai Xingkuang himself.

"Bai, King Bai Wu!" The guard yelled in astonishment, and then hurriedly saluted: "See King Bai Wu!"

Bai Xingkuan nodded, "Go in and report, just say that I will handle the matter of the wife's dowry."

"Yes!" The man hurried in, and the rest of the guards also stood there respectfully, with a good attitude.

He just waited and waited, but no one came out. Bai Xingkuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to the rest of the people present: "I'll count by dozens. If no one comes out to meet me, I will send this Cheng Hua The gate of the palace was demolished."

"One, two, three... seven, eight... ninety!" Bai Xingkuang finished counting slowly, but still no one came out
The guards looked at each other, they didn't know how to react for a while, they said to tear down the door, but this should be an angry word...

Bai Xingkuang told everyone in the next moment that she never said threatening words, because she could do what she said.

With two bangs in succession, the entire gate of Chenghua Duke's Mansion was torn down by Bai Xingkuang, leaving only an empty door frame.

"King Bai Wu, you, you..." The guards looked at Bai Xingkuan nervously, but they still didn't dare to step forward to stop him.

After Bai Xingkuan finished tearing down the gate, when everyone thought she would enter Duke Chenghua's mansion, she retreated slowly outside the gate, and said to the guards: "Tell them, if you don't come out to meet me, I will Tear down the walls of the mansion."

The guard was speechless, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only rush in.But this time, there was no need for guards to find someone. The feat of tearing down the gate quickly attracted people from the mansion.

"See Bai Wu Wang, Bai Wu Wang, this is a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, you must not get angry." A middle-aged man came out leading the way. Judging by his clothes, he should be a housekeeper in the mansion.

Bai Xingkui looked over coldly, and didn't speak. The other party was a little embarrassed, but he looked like a smooth person. He still smiled and said, "Bai Wu Wang, please blame me. I have bad legs and I walk slowly. , you must blame it, Madam is already preparing refreshments for you."

Bai Xingkuan turned his head to look in the direction of his carriage, and shouted: "Let's go, Seventh Sister, we can go in."

The Seventh Princess walked over slowly, but her heart was pounding. The scene where the emperor's wife demolished the gate of Duke Chenghua's mansion just now was so handsome!

The person she admired the most before was her fifth brother, but now it seems that fifth brother is obviously not as fragrant as fifth sister-in-law!
"This, this is the seventh princess?" The housekeeper didn't know the seventh princess, but he thought of the rumors that spread in the morning, and quickly saluted and said, "Young one, see the seventh princess!"

The Seventh Princess didn't say a word, and followed Bai Xingkuang into the Duke Chenghua's mansion.

Chenghua Duke's Mansion is indeed very grand, and it should be carefully designed by people. Every step is a scene. Even a common man like Bai Xingkuang can see the elegance and nobility in it.

Seeing this, Bai Xingkuan was already a little curious, and then in the hall, when he saw Mrs. Chenghua who was extremely well-dressed, this curiosity reached its peak.

"I see that the Duke Chenghua's mansion looks very rich, and your clothes are also extremely expensive. Why do you want to suppress the dowry of my mother?" When Bai Xingkuan said this, he greeted you with a smile on his face. Mrs. Chenghua, who came up, changed her expression on the spot.

"Miss Bai's words are a bit biased. The dowry of the wife on the other side has already been given to Geng Shouli by the father-in-law. It is Shouli who is not satisfied. He always feels that the dowry has been withheld by the father-in-law, but the father-in-law and I are really wronged." Mrs. Cheng Hua probably wanted to look pitiful, but she looked like a strong and shrewd person, and she was a bit nondescript when acting.

Bai Xingkuan didn't want to watch this person act, so he said bluntly: "In that case, madam dare to make a bet with me?"

"Bet? What bet?" Mrs. Chenghua frowned and asked very vigilantly.

"If you're telling the truth, let your concubine eldest son return all the dowry he got, and never mention the dowry again." Bai Xingkuo paused, "But if you're telling the truth , how about giving the eldest son twice the dowry?"
