Chapter 90
Chen's house, Shangguan's served the magistrate Chen's breakfast with a smile on his face, they discussed how to deal with Huo Zhirou last night, now at this hour, Huo Zhirou must have been put in prison.

"My lord, I'm planning to go to prison soon." Shangguan put a dish into the bowl of Chen Zhifu.

Chen Zhifu frowned when he heard Shangguan's words, and said displeasedly: "That place is so dirty, what are you going to do there?"

There was a sinister look in Shangguan's eyes, and he smiled maliciously and said: "I am going to see this young lady of the Huo family! See if this young lady of the Huo family dares to speak out?"

Chen Zhifu shook his head helplessly, women have many things, "Don't make it too much, Yuan Bohan will really value her by then, so it's hard to explain."

Shangguan was dissatisfied, so he threw this girl into the prison, and was afraid of Yuan Bohan, really timid!

Although Shangguan was dissatisfied with Chen Zhifu's cautious appearance, he still said: "I know!"

"My lord, someone who claims to be the young master of the Huo family came to the door and asked to see my lord!" A maid came in and said after saluting to the prefect Chen and the Shangguan family in the room.

"Huo family, no see!" Shangguan refused without hesitation when he heard the servant girl's words, before Chen Zhifu could speak.

When Chen Zhifu heard Shangguan speak out first, he gave her a look, then stood up, ready to leave.

Seeing Chen Zhifu's actions, Shangguan stood up in astonishment, "Master, are you going to see the Huo family? Seeing what he is doing, you don't even intend to let Huo Zhirou go. Isn't it unnecessary to see him?"

"Ignorant woman!" Chen Zhifu heard Shangguan's words, and said angrily: "You don't need to think about it, the Huo family will definitely spend money in order to save Huo Zhirou. Don't you want it?"

Shangguan heard Chen Zhifu's explanation, and then reacted, with a greedy smile on his face, "Yes! Of course! Huo Zhirou knocked on the Chen family's money, and I have to get it back anyway! But master, after taking the money, Are you really going to let that stinky girl go?"

Chen Zhifu snorted coldly, "It's up to me to decide whether to let go or not!" After speaking, he didn't want to talk nonsense with Shangguan anymore, and left the room.

Shangguan looked at the back of Chen Zhifu leaving, the smile on his face fell, and he said to the maid beside him in a cold voice: "Go get ready, I will go to the prison in a while!"

The servant girl heard Shangguan's words and took the order to leave.

Huo Jiancheng was sitting in the lobby of Chen's residence. He didn't expect Master Chen to be in the residence. It seemed that he had hit the right luck. He sat on the bench in the hall for a long time, but he didn't see the prefect Chen coming. He frowned, and Chun Xiao who was standing behind him became even more impatient, and said anxiously, "Why don't you see anyone coming!"

"Chun Xiao, shut up!" Huo Jiancheng's patience all the way was lost by this nagging Chun Xiao.

Hearing Huo Jiancheng's angry reprimand, Chunxiao bit her lip, not daring to make another sound.

When Huo Jiancheng saw Prefect Chen coming in, he immediately put away the impatience on his face, saluted Prefect Chen respectfully and said, "Cao Min has seen Mr. Chen!"

"En!" Chen Zhifu responded lightly, sat on the main seat, picked up the tea brought by the maid, took a sip, and then said slowly: "Are you Huo Zhirou's elder brother?"

"Yes" Huo Jiancheng responded. "My younger sister acts impulsively. It's because the grassroots didn't teach well. Please forgive me!"

Huo Jiancheng's words penetrated Chen Zhifu's heart, he snorted coldly, and said displeasedly: "Huo Zhirou is really impulsive!"

"Yes, my lord, this is a little thought from the villain. I hope you can calm down and spare my sister. Do you think it will be okay?" Huo Jiancheng took out the 200 million silver note from his sleeve.

Huo Jiancheng personally delivered the stack of 200 million taels of banknotes to the prefect Chen. When the prefect Chen saw the stack of banknotes, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his eyes signaled to the servants around him.

The servant stepped forward and collected the 200 million taels of bank notes, and Huo Jiancheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the prefect Chen had accepted the bank notes, thinking that the prefect Chen would let Huo Zhirou go, but Unexpectedly, what Chen Zhifu said next made the expression on Huo Jiancheng's face stiffen.

"Come here, see off the guests!" Prefect Chen lowered his head and sipped his tea, turning a blind eye to Huo Jiancheng's astonished expression in front of him.

"Mr. Huo, please!" The servants around Chen Zhifu shouted to chase them away.

The servant's voice immediately brought Huo Jiancheng back to his senses, veins appeared in the corners of his eyes, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. The dog officer in front of him actually drove away after receiving the money!
Although Huo Jiancheng was angry, he knew that Huo Zhirou could only be let go if prefect Chen let go, suppressed his anger, and asked with a stiff expression on his face: "Master Chen, should the grass-mind's sister be let go? "

Chen Zhifu didn't make a sound, but the servant beside him shouted impatiently: "Come here, see the guest out!"

As soon as the servants finished speaking, two servants from the Chen family entered the door and forcibly pulled Huo Jiancheng out of the hall.

When Yuan Yun saw it, he immediately stepped forward and beat the two servants who were holding Huo Jiancheng to the ground.

Chen Zhifu's eyes shrank suddenly, and he said sternly: "Hurry up and drive them out! Young master of the Huo family, if you dare to mess around in Chen's residence, believe it or not, Huo Zhirou will not end well in prison! "

"You dog official!" Chun Xiao heard the threat from Prefect Chen.Angrily shouted at Chen Zhifu.

When Huo Jiancheng heard what Chen Zhifu said, a ferocious look appeared in his eyes, which was completely different from his gentle and elegant appearance in the past. Thinking of his sister in prison, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"

The door of Chen's residence was closed heavily behind them. Chunxiao looked at Huo Jiancheng anxiously and said, "Master, what should we do next? How can we save Miss? This dog official took our money but didn't let her go. The money was not given for nothing." Yet?"

"Go back to the mansion first, let's talk later!" Huo Jiancheng said in a cold voice.

On the official road leading to Jincheng, Yuan Bohan was sitting in the carriage and was discussing with Jim about the cooperation between Yuanmen and Jim and how to develop the business overseas. stop.

"What's the matter, Yuan?" Jim stopped when he saw Yuan Bohan half-spoken the topic, and asked in a puzzled voice.

Before Yuan Bohan could speak, the vowel outside the carriage said to Yuan Bohan: "Master, Xiao Hei is back, there should be something urgent!"

As soon as Yuan Yin finished speaking, the black eagle also spotted them, flew down from the air, and stopped on Yuan Yin's shoulder.

Yuan Yin took off the bamboo tube from the black eagle's claw, got into the carriage, took out the note from the bamboo tube, and handed it to Yuan Bohan.

When Yuan Bohan saw the content on the paper, a violent and gloomy light flashed across his deep and gloomy eyes instantly, and his whole body exuded a gloomy and strange, murderous aura, as if the terrifying aura of the birth of a devil scared the opposite Jim to break out in cold sweat on his forehead. Fall off the chair.

Seeing that Jim was frightened like this, Yuan Yin stepped forward to help him down, and said, "Young Master Jim, you can rest in another carriage first."

Jim looked at the terrifying Yuan Bohan in front of him, swallowed, and nodded.

Vowel asked someone outside to send Jim into another carriage, and then asked aloud, "Master, what happened to Miss Huo?"

The fact that the black eagle returned so quickly made Yuanyin guess that something serious must have happened, and the current appearance of the master made Yuanyin even more worried.

"Chen Guanghe put the girl in the prison!" Yuan Bohan sneered, but the vowel in front of him felt terrified, "Order, return to Jincheng as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!" The vowel looked very solemn, not only worried about Huo Zhirou who is now in prison, but also worried about the master at this time. It was not easy for her to persuade the master not to interfere in the affairs of the court last night. She did not expect to be alone In the evening, things changed. At this time, she couldn't find a reason to ask the master to stop. Let's just take it one step at a time and hope Miss Huo is okay, otherwise the master will kill the magistrate, and things will really get serious by then. !
Huo Zhirou sat on the straw, she didn't feel hungry after eating a pie, and she was thinking about what she would face next.

Huo Zhirou didn't regret that she confronted Chen Zhifu in the lobby yesterday. She knew that even if she really spared Steward Li and the others, the Chen family had long had resentment towards the Huo family, and this resentment would explode sooner or later. It was the butler of the Chen Mansion who couldn't help it.

Huo Zhirou smiled coldly in his heart, this guy was let out by Chen Zhifu, it was so infuriating!
The cell door was opened, and the sound of the iron chain made Huo Zhirou look up. When she saw who was standing outside the cell door, her eyes narrowed, and a mocking smile appeared on her face, "Mrs. Chen, my little girl is so lucky It's my daughter's blessing to have you come and visit me!"

Shangguan's handkerchief covered his nose, looked at the environment in the cell with disgust, suddenly smiled, and said triumphantly: "How is it, Miss Huo, is it a good feeling to be here?"

Huo Zhirou snorted coldly, and replied in an unhappy voice: "Mrs. Chen, sooner or later, you will know how it feels to be here!"

"You!" Upon hearing Huo Zhirou's curse, Shangguan's face was livid with anger, and he stared angrily at a pair of eyes full of hatred, gnashing his teeth and said: "You still have such a sharp mouth here! My wife will have a look at that time, After entering here, do you still have the ability to go out!"

Huo Zhirou curled the corners of his lips sarcastically, and looked at her coldly: "Oh? Why did Mrs. Chen predict that I would not be able to get out? Mrs. Chen locked me here, thinking that there is no one in the Huo family? Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen My lord imprisoned me indiscriminately, and even charged me with a random crime, is this considered breaking the law? What if Lord Qiu knew about it? "

At this time, Huo Zhirou's threat didn't seem to make Shangguan show the fear she had in Wangjiang Tower, she sneered at Huo Zhirou, "Huo Zhirou, Huo Zhirou, at this point, do you still think about it?" Lord Qiu saves you, stop dreaming, will Lord Qiu save a prisoner? Huo’s rice shop sells rotten rice, and there will be convincing evidence for the harm, heh, you are too young and simple-minded!”

"I heard that Mrs. Chen came from the Shangguan family, a family in the capital, and the upbringing of the women in the Shangguan family can be regarded as a model among women. Now I think that this rumor has a lot of water! Mrs. Chen is jealous, hypocritical, and ugly, which makes me suspect. Is it the daughter raised by the Shangguan family? Could it be that the Shangguan family only pays attention to cultivating the prostitute daughter, but neglects the concubine daughter?" Huo Zhirou looked at Shangguan with a half-smile and asked back.

As soon as Huo Zhirou's words fell, the smugness on Shangguan's face could no longer be maintained. In this life, what she felt most ashamed of was her status as a concubine, and Huo Zhirou's words stabbed at her like a sharp knife Her heart instantly distorted her face, just as Huo Zhirou described, it was really ugly!

"Come on, come on!" Shangguan's sharp voice called out, causing all the prisoners in the prison to focus on her.

"Ma'am!" Hearing Shangguan's words, the jailer ran over immediately, smiling obsequiously.

"Hit! Hit this stinky girl for me!" Shangguan's trembling fingers pointed angrily at Huo Zhirou who had a smile on his face.
