Chapter 393
"Then you will become the king through hard work." Mo Ru didn't think much, and let his servants support him back to rest.
After just two steps out of the door, Xiao Chenyan angrily pulled Shen Ruzhou to the corner of the street and lectured him with a cold face, "Shen Ruzhou, you, a woman, are exchanging cups with the envoys of Southern Xinjiang in public, what are you talking about in the future?" It’s so shameless to have so many contacts.”
"What?" Shen Ruzhou covered his hot face with his hands, his head was groggy, and he obviously didn't hear what the other party said clearly.
Xiao Chenyan grabbed Shen Ruzhou's collar, with anger in his eyes, "I said..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Ruzhou's stomach turned upside down, and she threw up all over him.
"Shen Ruzhou!" Xiao Chenyan's eyes were about to burst and he clenched his fists fiercely.He slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down the overwhelming anger in his heart.
Seeing a well not far away, he had no choice but to drag Shen Ruzhou over to clean it.
His coat was completely stained, so he had to take it off. It was cool in the night, and when he saw some coarse clothes on the clothes drying pole next to him, he didn't care much, so he pulled them off and put them on himself.
Turning around, he saw that Shen Ruzhou was already drowsy holding the bucket, so he had no choice but to carry Shen Ruzhou on his shoulders.
Unexpectedly, he woke up just after touching her.
Shen Ruzhou resisted out of instinct, but Xiao Chenyan's arms held her firmly on his shoulders like iron clamps.
Shen Ruzhou hammered his back hard while shouting: "Put me down, help! You are robbing a girl!"
"Shen Ruzhou, please be honest. I will settle the score with you when I get back."
As Xiao Chenyan spoke, he strode towards the palace.
At this time, the patrolling soldiers happened to come over. Seeing this scene, the leader, Captain Hu, stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Chenyan had always looked down upon such small officials, so he snorted coldly in response and kept walking.
Shen Ruzhou on his shoulder was very dishonest and struggled even harder, shouting for help.
Bantou Hu immediately understood what was going on and immediately ordered, "The emperor dares to rob civilian girls in the street. He is so bold. Brothers, surround them."
A group of more than a dozen soldiers surrounded Xiao Chenyan.Xiao Chenyan showed his token impatiently, "I am King Wucheng. You people, if you don't want to die, get out of here."
Seeing that he was dressed in coarse linen clothes with wet and messy hair, Bantou Hu sneered, "I've seen people like you a lot. You pretend to be a powerful person and you don't even wear decent clothes. You think we are being fooled."
"Brothers, arrest this person." Leader Hu slapped the token away from Xiao Chenyan's hand and ordered the arrest.
Xiao Chenyan's pupils were dilated, with a look of disbelief on his face. When he saw the soldier coming forward with his sword drawn, he had no choice but to put down Shen Ruzhou and punch to parry.
Xiao Chenyan has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is very good at it.But it was hard for two fists to defeat four hands. Soon, he was defeated and captured by the soldiers.
Bantou Hu stepped forward and took a look at Shen Ruzhou, who was drunk and unconscious. He felt that it was not good to leave her on the street at such a late hour, so he kindly asked someone to help him back to the Kyoto Yamen.
The next morning, Shen Ruzhou woke up and looked at the unfamiliar room and couldn't figure out why he was here.
She had a splitting headache and a dry mouth. She got up and went to the outhouse to find some water.
At this time, Hu Bantou, who was on duty outside, happened to see her and came forward to pour her a cup of hot tea.
Shen Ruzhou looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Who are you? Why am I here?"
Squad leader Hu said: "This is the Kyoto Yamen. I am the squad leader here, and my surname is Hu. You were drunk last night and met a gangster. Fortunately, I passed by on patrol, otherwise you would be in danger."
"Gangster?" Shen Ruzhou tried hard to search for the memories of last night in his mind, but couldn't remember anything.
Bantou Hu saw her, a girl with a pretty face, and kindly reminded her: "Girl, I don't dare to drink so much wine alone in the future. There are many promiscuous people outside. This happened a while ago. In this case, the woman was also drunk at night and was robbed, raped and then killed. It was tragic."
Shen Ruzhou drank a cup of hot tea and regained some clarity.
Here, Captain Hu was still angry and continued: "Don't worry, girl, we have captured the gangster. When Mr. Fang comes, we will bring him to court for interrogation. At least give him a hundred and eighty blows and leave no trace behind." Life, this matter is not a fault."
"The gangster is King Wu Cheng. Where are the others?" Shen Ruzhou seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked quickly.
"He is in jail. Girl, you must have been deceived. That person is an impostor. He is dressed in linen and brazenly claims that he is a prince, so he deceives you little girls. By the way, pretending to be a prince is a crime. Wait."
Bantou Hu was talking to himself, completely unaware that Shen Ruzhou was trembling with shock.
She knew Xiao Chenyan too well, and she was afraid that she would take revenge at all costs after being humiliated like this.
Hu Bantou was so kind-hearted. If she was implicated and lost her life because of this, her conscience would be uneasy.
"Boss Hu, let's release him quickly while Mr. Fang is not here." Shen Ruzhou forced himself to calm down and tried to think of a way to remedy the situation.
"No, this person ignored the king's law and robbed people's daughters. He must be severely punished!" Hu Bantou was upright and fulfilled his duties.
"Hu Bantou, he is really King Wu Cheng." Shen Ruzhou told the truth, but he didn't want the other party to still let go, "No matter who he is, the prince breaks the law and the common people are the same. Girl, you don't have to be afraid, Mr. Fang is upright and will definitely do it for you. The one who administers justice.”
Shen Ruzhou helplessly held her forehead. She used to have a headache when she met corrupt officials, but now she has an even bigger headache when she meets upright officials.
How could Xiao Chenyan's current power be something that petty officials like them could afford to offend?Depending on Xiao Chenyan's temperament and skills, there are many ways to make these people disappear silently.
In order to persuade Hu Bantou to cooperate, she had to bite the bullet and said: "Actually, I am the princess of King Wucheng. Yesterday we got angry with him because of the incident in the back house, so we had a quarrel, which made Hu Bantou misunderstand." Yes, please be noble and let my husband go."
