Chapter 164 People Are Shameless And Invincible in the World

In Prefecture's Mansion, Zhu Zhanghou hurriedly turned around the hall and sent several waves of men and horses to search for Gu Zhen's mother and daughter. Even the grass and leaves could be counted, but there was no news at all.

Zhu Zhanghou did not really care about the safety of the mother and daughter, a wife riding on her head, a money-losing person who did not give her a long face, Zhu Zhanghou had been looking forward to their accident, as long as they could take themselves out, but the situation now required the mother and daughter to go to Grand Preceptor Gu to plead with him. Otherwise, the head on the collar would not be preserved.

"Master!" The butler quickly ran in, almost tripping and hurriedly handed over a wooden box with trembling hands. "Master, look at it. The thieves have written again."

Zhu Zhanghou immediately opened the box, a piece of clothes stained red with blood, one look and it was Gu Zhen's, and there was another letter.

"What the hell, what the hell!" Zhu changhou angrily threw the box to the ground.

The butler had already read the contents of the blood book and knew the seriousness of the matter. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "What is the master going to do? If we delay it any longer, madam will not be able to find it."

The butler was the son of zhu changhou's family, so he was the leader of the family, and he was often punished by Gu Zhen, and he couldn't see Gu Zhen well, but he knew the importance.

Zhu Zhanghou looked at the butler's family and said angrily, "Go and prepare the bank notes."

"Yes." The butler arched his hand and took a few steps, then turned around and reported, "My lord, we have a lot of money in our house, but the money is not enough for ten million taels."

The corner of Zhu Zhanghou's mouth twitched, and he took so much money to redeem a woman he had been looking forward to dying early every day. His heart and liver ached. He gritted his teeth and said, "There are a lot of private property in madam and miss's room. Immediately send someone to fetch it. Save the person first."

He would not make up all the money left and right. He would pay less if he could spend less.

The butler took the order and left. Zhu Zhanghou hesitated for a moment, then picked up the blood book and read it for a while. After reading it twice, he suddenly smiled coldly. "God helps me too, god helps me too!"

The blood book stated the time of the transaction, and when it expired, one was killed as a punishment. And he had the blood book to prove it. Was he afraid that he would not be able to pay the difference between Grand Preceptor Gu and the emperor?

Zhu Zhanghou had a good plan. He pitied the five little girls who were only watching over the two fat women eating the leftovers. After a while, no one came to pay the ransom. He gritted his teeth in a petty manner. It was a waste of effort for them.

"Eighth, don't be impulsive." Sann was older and naturally calmer. He grabbed eighth, who was about to kick someone, and coldly glanced at Gu Zhen and her daughter. He snorted, "It seems that you are nothing in Zhu Zhanghou's eyes. You don't even want to pay a ransom. Do you really think we don't know how much money there is in Prefecture's Mansion?"

"What do you want to do?" Gu Zhen was scared to death, and indeed he had lost a lot of blood. At this moment, his face was very pale, but he still protected zhu ziqi behind him.

"I will not kill you. After all, we are only after money. But you have also seen that in order to save some money, that corrupt official of Zhu Zhanghou would rather let you die, and perhaps even want to use your death to gain benefits for himself, so you are willing to be used by him, and then let those concubines and concubines benefit?" Sann was sitting on a stone. Judging from his expression, he must have come from a poor family. Otherwise, he would not have known the secrets of the mansion.

Gu Zhen shouted with a face full of anger, "I knew Zhu Zhanghou wasn't at ease. Why did I marry such a jerk?"

Zhu Ziqi was wailing on the side, yelling at her if she didn't want to die.

"Well, now I'm giving you a chance to live, but whether you can take it or not is none of our business." As the third said this, he asked someone to untie Gu Zhen's mother and daughter, and then said, "We just want to punish Zhu Zhanghou, because his greed made us homeless, but you have to suffer. But our brothers can't do it for nothing. We can't explain to the big boss later, can we?"

"What does the young man want? As long as our mother and daughter have it, we will give it to them with both hands. We will not make it difficult for the young man." Gu Zhen's eyes flashed and he had made up his mind.

The third thought he didn't see Gu Zhen's eyes and stopped the others from talking. He smiled and said, "It's very simple. Hand over all the money and valuable things on you and let us take them back to our lives. As for whether you want to go back to the wolf's den in Prefecture's Mansion or go back to your mother's house to complain, our brothers will take it as if they don't know, okay?"

"Young master keeps his word?" Gu Zhen asked hastily.

"Of course." Sann patted his chest.

"Okay, we'll give it to you." Gu Zhen took off all the jewelry she was wearing, threw the purse at Sann's feet, and urged Zhu Ziqi to move faster. She didn't want to stay in the cold cave at all.

After taking the money, the mistress called the others to leave. As for where Gu Zhen and her daughter would go, they did not intend to follow her. They would know the news by tomorrow morning at the latest.

After returning to the restaurant, xiaosan told Su Mianyue what he did and what he thought. Su Mianyue immediately smiled and praised a few words, and gave them all that they got today. Each of them could be divided into two hundred taels at least.

In the evening, the guests at the restaurant began to talk about Prefecture's Mansion. Everyone hated the Zhu Zhanghou couple so much that they were naturally happy to see them in trouble.

"Have you heard? Someone kidnapped Mrs. Zhu. Today, I saw Mrs. Zhu come back covered in blood and her hair was as if she was a refugee. She was stopped by the city gate. It was Prefecture who went to pick her up and tried to make amends."

"You deserve it! I knew that if we didn't have them around, we wouldn't have had worse days in Nanyu Town than the people in the capital. It was a real bargain for them."

"I don't think so. Didn't you hear Mrs. Zhu pointing at Prefecture's forehead and scolding her? It sounds like Prefecture didn't want to pay the ransom. Mrs. Zhu's mother and daughter suffered a great sin and almost lost their lives. Prefecture's Mansion has been so beautiful these two days."

"Go ahead and do your best to get rid of everyone..."

Sitting in the private room, listening to the guests'discussion, Su Mianyue was quite speechless. Were these people not afraid of Zhu Zhanghou's revenge?

Seeing Su Mianyue's question, Su Yu explained, "Zhu Zhanghou already knew that he was cursed. That pair of weirdos don't care about reputation. As long as they can get money, no one will dare to scold them in front of them. Otherwise, they won't get any benefits if everyone dies."

"It's true that trees die without skin. People are shameless and invincible." Su Mianyue pursed her lips and stopped paying attention to what the people below said. She asked xiao ba to close the door. Then she looked at Su Yu and asked, "How are the preparations over there?"

"The net will be closed in three days at the latest," Su Yu replied with a light smile.

"Yes." Su Mianyue was reassured by su yu's ability to do things. He glanced at his shoulder and asked with a frown, "Are you ready to leave too?"

"I can't leave yet." Su Yu frowned lightly. Seeing that Su Mianyue was not shy about talking, he said, "My savior's family is poisoned. They need Red Gold Grass medicine. I heard that the abbot of Qinghua Temple has it."

"I did a lot of things to rob the rich and help the poor, but I never went to the temple to pick up things. This time, I can try how it feels." Su Mianyue's eyes sparkled, clearly happy to have something to do.

Su Yu smiled and didn't say much. He needed to investigate some things more carefully to prepare for action, which was to repay the care of the su family for him.
