The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 76 It's Too Late
The sky gradually darkened, and a residual red spread across the horizon.

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched Qin Ruizhi's figure very long, covering Yang Mengzhang's remaining power.

At this time, Yang Mengzhang was lying on the ground, becoming a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy, but from time to time he would show his teeth to show his ferocious courage.

Yang Mengzhang put his hands on the ground and wanted to get up, but Qin Ruizhi stepped on him hard. His face was almost deformed, but he did not change his arrogance and ignorance: "Qin Ruizhi, don't try to trick me. Since the founding of the country, this dynasty has never issued an exemption. A gold medal for death. You should be punished for your lies."

Speaking of the light shuttle mother sword, Gu Shanzhen remembered something and leaned forward slightly, "Well, during the chaos in the palace, Commander Gao and my father protected His Majesty, and Commander Gao broke a pair of swords. His Majesty later hired famous craftsmen from all over the world to re-forge a pair of mother-and-son swords, and promised her that the sword will be with you, and the sword will be with you. The Gao family experienced the death of the old Duke, was dismissed from office, and was released to the outside world, and they were able to make a comeback. This credit is equivalent to a gold medal to avoid death."

"Your father?" Qin Ruizhi's brows twitched, as if he was extremely jealous of an enemy meeting him, "...who is he?".

During the chaos in the middle palace, the only people who guarded the prince were Su Yiling, the prince's mentor, Gao Zhiying, the patrol envoy of the Zhongling Camp, and Gu Bingyi, who doted on his concubines and destroyed his wife.

Gu Shanzhen's attitude was arrogant, "My father is Fudu General Gu Bingyi, and you and your mother had a friendship."

Sure enough, it was the little beast that was possessed by that poisonous woman, Mrs. Xuanji, and it had grown to such a big size safely.

Poor her brother, he was stillborn without ever seeing the sun.

With the enemy in front, Yang Mengzhang seems less important.

Qin Ruizhi let go of Yang Mengzhang, glanced contemptuously, then bowed slightly and dusted off the dust on her skirt with her hands, "Mr. Yang came to Gaofu to collect debts from Qin Qingyue, right? I paid off Qin Qingyue's gambling debts for him." "

Without waiting for Yang Mengzhang to react, Qin Ruizhi walked up to Zheng Pin with soft steps and asked, "Zheng Pin, how much is your life worth?"

"Ah?" Zheng Pin couldn't respond and was speechless when asked, how can human life be priced in money.

"I don't understand. Let me rephrase the question. How much is the life of the prime minister's son worth? Is it worth 5000 taels in total? I saved you twice, so it should be worth 1 taels. But I am benevolent and righteous, and I count it as your friendship. The price is 5000 taels, it’s worth it, right?”

In a few words, Qin Ruizhi transferred the pressure of Yang Mengzhang's debt collection to Zheng Pin.

She does have some silver coins on her, but they are Guanglitong's commercial bills, which are not easy to use in Kyoto.

Even if it is easy to use, Qin Ruizhi does not intend to use private money to pay off debts.

Zheng Pin and Yang Mengzhang appeared in front of the gate of Gaofu at the same time, saying that they were acting as lobbyists to dissuade Yang Mengzhang, but Yang Mengzhang showed up at the gate of Gaofu to collect debts, which was a dereliction of duty.

"This..." Zheng Pin blushed and didn't know how to respond.

He should repay the favor of saving his life. According to his original idea, after the limelight had passed and the case of the money-making workshop was forgotten, he would prepare some gifts and invite his father to visit him in person to express his sincerity.

Now, she was begging for money from him outright, treating her life-saving grace as a monetary transaction of equal value, and was only seeking profit. Qin Ruizhi's image in his mind suddenly collapsed.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Qin Ruizhi asked again: "Master Zheng, does he think his life is not worth 5000 taels? If that's the case, I can ask for less, and I will make up for the remaining money myself. In short, I can't leave Young Master Yang empty-handed." And come back, right?"

The son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, whose life is worth 5000 taels, will become the laughing stock of the entire Kyoto. If his life is not worth 5000 taels, he will also be the laughing stock of the entire Kyoto.

Qin Ruizhi's words pushed Zheng Pin into a dilemma.

It is difficult to give or not to give.

"Mr. Yang, look, Master Zheng is in a bit of trouble?" Qin Ruizhi shrugged with an innocent look on his face.Yang Mengzhang was also in a dilemma, with an expression on his face where he couldn't laugh or cry. He came to Qin Qingyue to collect debts, but it ended up being Zheng Pin's fault.

It seems that Zheng Pin is an ungrateful and shameless person if he doesn't give this money.

The son of a dignified prime minister is measured by money. If he talks about it, it will be a shame.

"Master Zheng doesn't have any money to offer, so I'm in a difficult situation." Qin Ruizhi said again, her delicate voice sounded full of yin and yang, filled with endless teasing.

"Okay, as you said, 5000 taels. However, my original intention was to dissuade Brother Yang. I don't have that much money with me. Please ask Miss Qin to tolerate me for a while."

Zheng Pinji reluctantly agreed. At this moment, he wanted to strangle Yang Mengzhang to death, but he still wanted to remain calm on his face, so as not to fall out with the young master of the Rongguo Palace.

Qin Ruizhi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said gracefully and smartly, "I wonder if Mr. Yang agrees? If he is in a hurry, I can't wait. It's hard to ask Mr. Yang to guard the gate of the Gaofu every day, clamoring for begging. It’s a gambling debt.”

Zheng Pin looked at Yang Mengzhang, his eyes as deep as the sea, "Mengzhang, Qin Qingyue has been hiding in Puzhou for many days, and I haven't seen you going to Puzhou to collect debts. I guess you are not in a hurry, so give me some time."

How could Yang Mengzhang dare to say no? He looked embarrassed and threw his sleeves angrily, "Let's go."

Gu Shanzhen and Yang Mengzhang came in the same carriage and watched a good show. When they saw Yang Mengzhang leaving, they turned around and left.

With his back exposed in front of Qin Ruizhi, just one stab from behind would kill him and make Mrs. Xuanji feel the pain of losing her son.

Close at hand, half a step away.

Qin Ruizhi's hands tightly grasped the corners of her skirt, and she used all her strength to suppress all her anger and resentment.

Without a knife in his hand, he could not achieve a single blow. Instead, he was able to scare off the enemy, and in the end, he lost his life in vain.

What's more, killing a concubine's son will not eliminate the hatred in her heart.

Gu Bingyi and Mrs. Xuanji must die.

Qin Ruizhi's eyes were moist, she clenched her silver teeth tightly, swallowed all the blood and tears, and then watched them leave with an indifferent expression.

It's too late, it's really going to be too late.

Yang Mengzhang and the others were about to board the carriage and leave with whips.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Pan, who had been peeking, could no longer hold back. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know how he would be able to see Qin Ruizhi next time.

Suddenly, Su Pan got out of the carriage, walked a few steps hastily, and called out hastily across the steps: "Miss Qin..."

Qin Ruizhi turned away coldly and said calmly: "What? My brother also owes you money? Then you have to wait a little longer and wait for Mr. Yang's money to be exchanged for your turn."

Su Pan looked stunned, and hid his hand in the embroidery, stirring it back and forth, making it all wet with sweat, "You don't recognize me anymore?"
