Chapter 310 The mantis stalks the cicada
Cangyu looked at the princess with some surprise. He thought her purpose was just to vent her anger and pay compensation, but she actually played such a big game?
Haha, it looks like the days ahead are going to be interesting.
The crowd was completely shocked. The Tan family looked at the silent Zhuo Wang and his son thoughtfully. They didn't believe that the two would allow Zhuo Wangfei to openly question the people of Zhuocheng...
But Gao Yong and the other playboys obviously believed it. They all looked at Tan Ming. Didn't they say that the most they could get for the shop was a few hundred taels of silver? Who could afford to pay 60,000 taels of silver? And the most important thing was the emperor's belongings? What could they pay for? Their lives?!
A young man, whose legs were already weak from fear, fell to the ground, "Princess Zhuo, I was blind and didn't recognize the real master. Please let us go!"
Once there was one, there were two. Immediately, one after another, people knelt down and begged for mercy. They were just teenagers who were used to fighting and making trouble in Zhuocheng. They had never seen such a big scene. Some of them were leaving Zhuocheng for the first time.
Since they were born, they knew that the five cities of Linyue were divided into different regions. They also knew the emperor of Luocheng, You Wang, Li Wang, and Yun Wang. But in fact, they were more or less indifferent to them. No matter how powerful the emperor was, he still couldn't control Zhuocheng. Those people still had to rely on our Zhuocheng Army to guard the border.
Especially since the death of the old Zhuo Wang and the young Zhuo Wang was taken away, everything in Zhuo City has been in the hands of the acting city lord. Everyone has always followed the lead of the Tan family. Even if the old Zhuo Wang is still there, what will happen if the young Zhuo Wang returns? Still have to look at the face of the Tan family?
Over the years, the Tan family has infiltrated every aspect of Zhuo City. Except for not having the surname Lu, in their minds, the Tan family is almost the same as King Zhuo.
When they cause trouble in Zhuocheng, the worst that can happen is that they have to pay compensation, just like Gao Yong. Some shopkeepers know that they have a close relationship with the Tan family, so they can only consider themselves unlucky. How can they pay 60,000 taels of silver right away? This new princess actually said that she would punish the entire clan. Is this the punishment of the entire clan that he understood?
Looking at the pale faces of the Tan family, the usually high-handed city lord's filter is completely shattered. If Princess Zhuo is so powerful, how terrifying must Prince Zhuo be! !
There is no doubt that Shen Yu's move of luring the snake out of its hole was automatically added with the attribute of killing the chicken to scare the monkey! !
Actually, old King Zhuo was also scared silly. His own daughter-in-law was so tough. He had only wanted to use her to deal with the girl from the Tan family, and deal with other things slowly after returning. But his son found a good daughter-in-law who went all out. Not only did she have a lot of backers, but she also started to use nine clans right away?
He couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart whether these people's nine clans included him...
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Ah? Begging me to let you go? That's not right, aren't you doing it on purpose? Didn't the person who asked you to make trouble explain it clearly? This shouldn't be the case, don't you all know that this is my shop? There are always a few dowries on display in the shops under my name, everyone in Luocheng knows this, right? Besides, who doesn't know that my dowries are all gifts from the emperor? The auction of my old dowries in Luocheng caused such a sensation before, and you didn't even hear about it?"
Shen Yu had a look of disgust on her face, as if to say your information channels are not good. Her old dowry had indeed been replaced by Luo Yunmei a long time ago, and she had cheated her scumbag father because of it. Now her new dowry was still being carried in the emperor's wedding procession.
The playboys didn't care whether the items were auctioned or not. They got angry when they heard this. "Tan Ming, didn't you tell us to come here to show off our power to Princess Zhuo? Didn't you say that we would just smash a few shops and get a few hundred taels of silver in compensation at most? Will your Tan family be responsible for any problems?"
Someone else responded and immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, yes. And Gao Yong, she was the one who said that Miss Tan was humiliated by Princess Zhuo in public, and she wanted to help her get back on her feet..."
The playboys started to talk to each other and fight with each other, and the spectators watched with great interest.
Shen Yu had already sat on the chair beside Qing Li, drinking tea leisurely, which made him unable to help but ask softly, "Princess, how do you plan to end this?"
The damage to the imperial gift has already been revealed. It's really hard to deal with this matter without a follow-up! He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he received Guyu's message just now. Does his master know that his new daughter is so capable?
She took a sip of the mellow tea, and said with a smile, "End? Why should I end it? These are just abandoned pawns, someone will help them end it..." She lowered her head and took another sip leisurely, signaling him to be patient.
Even Wu Su noticed something. After all, he was Wu Zhong's confidant who had been taught by him personally. He quickly came over and asked, "Princess, are you fishing again?" He had overheard this question when he pretended to be a Taoist priest.
Shen Yu looked at him with appreciation, smiled and said nothing.
Not willing to be outdone, Lu Yingxing leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Are you having fun, Yu?"
Seeing that he really didn't mind, Shen Yu asked curiously, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I'll ruin your Zhuocheng people? After all, these people came here specially to pick you up, right?"
"Oh!" He smiled and secretly took her hand under his sleeve. "It's okay. Father said that there is no construction without destruction. I think Ayu's method is very good. It is much more efficient than dealing with these people slowly after we go back. Madam still cares about me."
Shen Yu rolled his eyes, as if you are very patient and don't believe that he will take it "slowly"!
But since he understands my good intentions, I'll just forgive him for now, huh!
When they first met yesterday, these people dared to force Lu Yingxing to take a concubine. Today, they are openly making trouble. Aren’t they relying on the fact that he has just returned to Zhuocheng and wants to rely on the help of the Tan family to gain a foothold in Zhuocheng? These people who came with him are all children close to the Tan family. Doesn’t the Tan family think that she, Shen Yu, dare not deal with these people? Huh?
Privately instigate these people to cause trouble, and then their Tan family comes forward to help solve it. In this way, Prince Zhuo's Mansion owes the Tan family a favor, and then it is natural to reward her with the title of concubine?
It was a good idea, but only that group of playboys and her, Shen Yu, who was hurt, could achieve it.
But haha, what are you thinking about!
Why not let Lu Yingxing and his son show up and see how the other side will respond to my move? Anyway, it's a waste not to use the Dragon Guard. She is not good at power struggles in the palace, but she is good at setting up a situation. She just doesn't play by the rules. What can you do to me?
Tan Daixue, who was sitting opposite them, looked at the loving couple and almost broke her nails on her palms. She had heard that Prince Zhuo doted on the princess, but she didn't expect him to be so insane. Was such a person still qualified to be their Prince Zhuo? The children of the families who were causing trouble were all powerful people in Zhuo City, but Shen Yu was not afraid of them at all. These rubbish even exposed each other's shortcomings?
She winked at her uncle calmly, and soon, a person disappeared in the crowd.
"Princess, their people are taking action!"
It was rare that Cangyu was interested in this matter, and he also wanted to know how this matter would end.
