Chapter 172
It was dusk, and the bitter cold wind was blowing over Jiangxia City. The old man who scavenged waste after a day's journey, was hungry and cold, and was still struggling to move forward.

When passing by a house, seeing the magnificent mansion and the smell of meat coming from the inside, his legs finally couldn't hold on, and he leaned tremblingly against a wall and collapsed.

But before he could catch his breath, he heard an angry reprimand: "Go, go, where did you come from, get out of here, and don't stain the lintel of the house."

The old man was driven by the sticks and was about to pray when he saw a resplendent carriage galloping towards him. He had no time to dodge it and fell down in panic.

"Where did the short-sighted come from?"

The groom reined in the horse's reins and whipped the old man hard: "Get out of here."

Afterwards, his face changed, and he humbly apologized to the carriage: "Third Master, you are shocked."

Third Master Zhuo lifted the curtain of the car drunkenly and looked outside, seeing an old man in ragged clothes, he spit out angrily, and cursed: "It's so unlucky, even a dog dares to come out and act presumptuously today."

The servants who came out to meet him heard the complaint from their master, and stepped forward to beat and kick the injured old man.

"That's it, that's it."

Third Master Zhuo saw that the old man kept moaning and didn't even know how to beg for mercy, he was really annoyed, he waved his hands and said: "I'm happy today, I don't want to see bloody and dirty things, please move them away."

Afterwards, he slowly got off the carriage, handed over the painting in his hand to the servant, and entered the mansion swaggeringly.

As soon as he entered the yard, he realized that something was wrong. The doors of all the houses were tightly closed, and only the housekeeper stood under the eaves, looking restless.

"Third Master, Governor Luo is here."

The butler waited for a long time, and finally saw the third master returning to the mansion, and hurriedly stepped forward and replied cautiously.

Hearing that it was the chief governor, Third Master Zhuo was taken aback, hurriedly quickened his pace, and strode back to the study.

Seeing Luo Chuhuai sitting on the top of the study and drinking tea slowly, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute with a smile on his face, and called out very affectionately: "When did my brother-in-law come to the provincial capital, and I didn't even tell my younger brother?" ?”

It would have been better if he didn't call this brother-in-law. Hearing this call, Luo Chuhuai couldn't help but think of the princess's wife, and suddenly became furious. He couldn't bear it and got up and slapped him on the face. He said angrily: "Zhuo San You are so majestic, how dare I, a rough man, marry you?"

"What do you mean brother-in-law?"

Third Master Zhuo was blushed by this slap, and he was in a daze.

"Are you still asking me about the good things you did?"

Luo Chuhuai said angrily, "No matter how bad His Highness King Ning is, he is still His Majesty's flesh and blood. How dare you compete with him for something. Do you really think that this Wuchang Mansion belongs to your Zhuo family?"

"It's just a painting, why should my brother-in-law get angry?"

Third Master Zhuo was full of aggrieved words: "Besides, I also intended to give in. His Highness Ning Wang himself doesn't appreciate it. He knows that King Fu is my cousin and is so aggressive. I can't sweep my cousin's face."

"Spend one hundred thousand gold to compete for a painting, but you still dare to mention His Royal Highness, King Fu. Do you think that you have not caused enough trouble for His Highness?"

Luo Chuhuai became even more angry: "Right now, King Yun's power is in full swing, and he has almost no excuse to kill King Fu. How dare you say that you bought the painting for His Royal Highness Fu? What are you pretending to be?"

"It's just a painting, what kind of trouble can it cause?"

Zhuo Sanye didn't take it seriously: "Then His Royal Highness King Yun often asks people to search for rare treasures every year, and His Majesty doesn't see him blaming him, how come he can't tolerate it when he comes to his cousin."

"Is it just a painting?"

Luo Chuhuai asked back: "I have to tell you all the good things that your Zhuo family has done these years? Right now, the crimes committed by that traitor in your second room are making a lot of noise. Deceiving the world to deceive the world?"

After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, Concubine Lu Gui is an old man in the palace, and even His Majesty respects her quite a bit. If she finds out that King Fu's elder brother won't even give up a painting King Ning, how dare you expect King Fu to treat and protect their mother and child kindly in the future?"

It was also a word that awakened the dreamer, Zhuo Sanye realized that he had done something stupid today, his face changed instantly, and he hurriedly apologized: "It's all reckless, brother-in-law, please show me what to do next Do?"

As he spoke, he cautiously asked for instructions: "How about I immediately send someone to send this painting to the post house to apologize to His Royal Highness King Ning?"

Luo Chuhuai pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said: "Since the matter has already happened, if you lower your eyebrows and bow down to please Queen Ning's mother and son, it will only appear that King Fu is afraid. In a few days, it will be His Majesty's [-]th birthday. People sent this painting to Prince Fu's Mansion in Beijing, saying it was a birthday gift for His Majesty."

"Brother-in-law's move is really clever."

Third Master Zhuo complimented him sincerely: "In this way, even if His Majesty is unhappy, but after all, it is a masterpiece of the sword and pen evil god, and it is a congratulatory gift prepared by my cousin. He will definitely be very happy."

"This is just a stopgap measure."

Luo Chuhuai's anger had almost dissipated, but thinking that her daughter had come to the provincial government, it was precisely for the Zhuo family's affairs, and asked worriedly: "Have you wiped your butt clean about the second wife?"

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, Faner's child has been killed by that little slut of the Tang family. Even if they want to investigate, they can't do anything about it. It won't make Faner come back to life. That's what we wish for."

Third Master Zhuo smiled triumphantly: "If you say Mr. Shi is really smart, he can come up with such a flawless method. This time, that little bitch of the Tang family will definitely have to pay for Faner's life."

"Shi Junmu is a fart."

Thinking of her daughter's reputation in Jiangling City, Luo Chuhuai recognized from the bottom of her heart that she was the well-deserved number one litigator.

It was this stinky girl who now pointed the finger at her father, which made him unhappy.

He was really worried that this girl would suddenly kill her relatives one day.

"Recently, you have restrained me a bit, and told the people in the house to behave in peace. If you let me hear more about the Zhuo family, before King Fu can speak, I will destroy your whole family first."

Luo Chuhuai warned very worriedly.

Seeing that it was getting late at night, he got up suddenly, thought of something, and did not forget to remind him: "No one is allowed to approach the pile on the northern outskirts of the city without my permission."

"Brother-in-law has found a good friend again?"

Third Master Zhuo smirked and covered his mouth, knowing that he had just been to Jiangling City, he might have caused another rotten peach blossom to hide in his village.

Luo Chuhuai stared at her old eyes: "If you want to live longer, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

After all, he walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
