Chapter 077 Motivation
Ran Shaotang immediately wanted to slap Zong Zhengshen in the mouth.
My eyes are cramping. Didn’t you see that I was telling you to shut up?
Forget it, it will be difficult for you to get the bamboo slips today.
After staying with Zhong Jiuchou for a long time, Shaotang found that this man was pretty good-looking, good at work, and had a good heart. The key was to spend money to coincide with her.
The only drawback is being cautious.
To use a literary four-letter word, it can be simply summed up as follows: Any injustice must be repaid.
It's been more than a month since Zong Zhengshen offended him, and it didn't hurt, so just forget about it. Otherwise, life will be very tiring.
However, the young master is not afraid of tiredness. Not only has he not forgotten, but today seems to be a small punishment but a big warning.
I remember that a few days ago, Zhong Jiuchou was teaching martial arts to his disciples and came back late. Shaotang was hungry and didn't want to wait for him to have a meal with him, so he finished eating early and ran away. The next day, Shaotang didn't have any breakfast, lunch or dinner.
.
In the end, Jiuchou was stunned and took her to practice the martial arts in the back mountain, which was called "bigu-cultivating" and "muscle-cleansing and marrow-cleansing".
If Zhong Jiuchou had known about the bamboo slips she refused to show him and instead gave them to Zong Zhengshen, Zhong Jiuchou would have made it impossible for her to go down the mountain or eat for several days.
For those who are petty and cannot be beaten, it is better for her to coax them a bit.
As for Zong Zhengshen, of course he cannot be allowed to speak first.
"Zong, what do I have to talk to you about? Didn't I give you a thank you gift for saving your life last time? It is said that a gentleman knows his kindness but does not repay it. How can you violate the way of a gentleman?"
Ever since Shaotang knew that the Zongzheng family was wrested from the Feng family, when Shaotang saw him again, he had the feeling that enemies would be extremely jealous when they meet him, and this thought would pop up from time to time.
This was the third time that Zong Zhengshen heard this sharp-tongued little girl calling him Zong. He couldn't bear it anymore and turned around to glare at her: "Tang Ran, my surname is Zong Zheng. The word "Zong Zheng" means you don't know how to read.
?You don’t have any knowledge at all, so don’t open your mouth and speak less in the future.”
Ran Shaotang did not rush with him. Instead, he smiled and pointed at him: "Are you stupid? Should I call you Zong or Zong Zheng? Which one is more powerful? Which one is louder? Can't you hear it?
Come out? I don’t care what your last name is, I’ll just call you Zong, Zong, Zong, what can you do to me?”
"That's enough. Sit back." Zhong Jiuchou pointed at Shaotang and ordered her to shut up.
In the end, Jiuchou heard the two people arguing non-stop, and he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.
Shaotang is just a child who wants to win or lose.
Zong Zhengshen was a noble prince, but he was also childish and yelled unscrupulously. He was simply ignored.
"Your Highness, if you have no business to attend to, you may leave the table." Chi Guoguo's expulsion order.
Meng De was angry that they were disrespectful to His Highness. He stepped forward with red eyes, but Su Lun stretched out his arms to block them. They confronted each other twice. Zong Zhengshen looked at Ran Shaotang with cold eyes and a gloomy face: "You haven't fulfilled what you promised me?"
"Why haven't you done it? There has to be some time, right?"
"Okay, how many days?"
"Ten days."
"No. Today."
"are you crazy?"
In the end, when Jiuchou faced the two people playing riddles, he no longer wanted to tolerate it.
He grabbed Ran Shaotang and said, "What did you promise him?"
Ran Shaotang thought to himself, how can he tell the truth?
"While I was recuperating in Prince Rui's Mansion, in order to thank me for saving my life, I promised to personally brew a jar of wine and give it to His Highness the Third Highness. No, it didn't come true, and he was unhappy."
Zhong Jiuchou's mind flashed back to the scene when she was making green plum wine. It turned out that the wine was for Zong Zhengshen?
Zong Zhengshen didn't want Zhong Jiuchou to know about the solitary book. However, after reading the first volume, he was stuck at a critical point. Without the next volume, he couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat well.
If the ghost hadn't been too dangerous, he would have broken in and taken Ran Shaotang back to Prince Rui's Mansion to force her to hand over the second book.
Seeing that Ran Shaotang was hiding something from Zhong Jiuchou, he made a few perfunctory remarks.
"Exactly, exactly. Why do you treat your savior like this at such a young age?" You actually created two volumes and didn't want to live anymore?
Zhong Jiuchou looked at the two of them and sneered.
Do you think he is a fool?
What will be handed over on the 10th will be a jar of green plum wine that takes four to five months to brew?
The time just doesn't match up.
Since Ran Shaotang won't say it now, he has many ways to make her say it.
At least he had better let her see Zong Zhengshen's true face clearly.
Don't worry about being sold one day without knowing it.
"Your Highness, do you know Xu Youdao?"
Zong Zhengshen, who had a smile on his face just now, suddenly flashed a cold light in his eyes when he heard the words Xu Youdao.
Zhong Jiuchou is worthy of being the young master of Shura Palace, and Xu Youdao was traced so quickly.
I don't know how much he knows.
"Of course we know that Xu Youdao is the bodyguard and second-in-command of the Longmen Escort Bureau. Anyone who is involved in the world of martial arts knows Xu Youdao. Although I am not a member of the martial arts world, there are always some valuables that are inconvenient to go through official channels, so it will inevitably cause trouble.
Longmen Escort Bureau. I have dealt with Youdao several times. What, the young master finally wants to find someone to escort you? I can help you negotiate a preferential price."
Zong Zhengshen responded as if nothing had happened, but Jiuchou didn't believe his nonsense.
"Then I wonder how much money you gave Xu Youdao for the carriage collision? Did he give you a discount?"
"Hahahahaha" Zong Zhengshen looked up to the sky and laughed. He stopped for a while and looked at Zhong Jiuchou with cold eyes, "If Young Master Zhong has no evidence, it is better to say less. What does the collision of the carriage have to do with me?"
Shaotang disagreed with Zhong Jiuchou's words.
Zhong Jiuchou has been saying some time ago that he wanted to find the real cause of the carriage collision.
Although she also suspected that this matter was not simple, she never thought that it would be Zong Zhengshen's hand.
Everything people do has a purpose.
Even if something seems simple, the motivation behind it is anything but simple.
She couldn't understand what the benefits of Zong Zhengshen's actions were, and why a person with no motive would set up such a trap.
If it was really his plan, what was the purpose?
She lost nothing, and he did not keep her in Jiancheng.
It was she who designed this "Psychic Confusion" to fool him.
"Uncle Junior, is there any misunderstanding between you?" She didn't want to involve Xu Youdao.
That person knows her true identity. If Zong Zhengshen... wait a minute.
If Zong Zhengshen knew from Xu Youdao that she was the son of Gao Xi's general Ran Wen, then there would be a reason for Zong Zhengshen to use such a strategy to kidnap himself to Zhou Rao.
Her father was on the border between Gao and Zhou, and he killed many soldiers and generals of Zhou and Rao.
Before the truce, the soldiers of the Zhou Rao Kingdom were frightened when they heard that Ran Wen was famous. They probably wanted to cut her father into pieces and there were countless Zhou Rao people.
Thinking about it this way, Zong Zhengshen had a good reason for planning to take him back.
Before Zhong Jiuchou could ask, Ran Shaotang said first, "Since my junior uncle has escorts to escort, why not invite Xu Youdao over now and let's talk while we eat. Anyway, His Highness is an acquaintance with him, so he won't mind, right?"
Zhong Jiuchou glanced admiringly at Ran Shaotang's tender and white face, and saw the twinkling in her eyes. She must have some bad idea.
