Chapter 687: The Prince's High Righteousness

Hong Xiu shook her head: "My fate with Master Wang Xiao has ended. Thank you for your kindness."

Seeing this, Shen Shuyi didn't say anything more. He chatted with Hongxiu for a while, and when he saw that it was getting late, he got up and left.

The madam escorted Shen Shuyi to the door and said warmly, "Young Master, if you like, come again. I will definitely reserve the best room for you next time."

Shen Shuyi raised the corner of his lips and asked, "How much would it cost to redeem Miss Hongxiu?"

The madam smiled and said, "Young Master, you have good taste. Miss Hongxiu is our top girl. She must be worth at least ten thousand golds..."

Hearing this, Jinzhu couldn't help but retort: ​​"Ten thousand gold? Why don't you just go and rob? You're so bold to ask for it."

The madam immediately smiled and said, "Oh, young master, you don't know that Miss Hongxiu's customers are all rich or noble. Even if it's worth ten thousand gold, there will still be people vying for it."

Shen Shuyi nodded: "What mom said makes sense, let me go back and think about it again."

Shen Shuyi led a few people away, and Jinzhu said again: "Miss, I see that Miss Hongxiu is quite pretty and talented, but how can she be worth a million gold? Really..."

Jinzhu really thought it was not worth it, and even felt it was too exaggerated.

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "If I don't use this amount to scare you, wouldn't everyone want to redeem her?"

"Miss, what you mean is that they don't really want a million gold, but..."

"Yes, Hongxiu is talented, but she is very ambitious." Shen Shuyi said in a cold voice.

In fact, Wang Xiao was really the best choice for her, but unfortunately, she was too greedy.

Everyone likes to seek perfection. Although Wang Xiao is the son of an important official, he does not strive for progress. Hongxiu did have some feelings for him at first, but as time went on, she couldn't help but feel that he was not as good as those talented people and had no future.

Too lazy to deal with it, he just did what Mrs. Wang wanted.

Not long after walking out, Shen Shuyi saw Wang Xiao holding a wine jug, sitting drunk on the stone steps not far from Tianxiang Tower.

Several servants of the Wang family stood by, but they were already numb and did not try to persuade them at all.

Shen Shuyi glanced at him and ignored him.

People in this world are ignorant and always like to persuade chaste and virtuous women to become prostitutes, and also like to persuade sluts and whores to become good women.

After watching Shen Shuyi and his group leave, the madam put away the smile on her face and turned to enter Tianxiang Tower.

After dealing with many guests along the way, he soon found Hongxiu on the second floor.

"How is it? Did you find out where the guy came from today?" asked the madam.

Hong Xiu frowned and said, "It looks like it has something to do with Wang Xiao."

The madam paused and advised, "You have been hanging on to Wang Xiao for quite a long time. In my opinion, you should raise the price a bit and just agree to it."

Hong Xiu frowned and said, "Let me think about it again."

"It's been so long. Young Master Liu ran away first, and now I don't think Young Master Zheng is very reliable. You are just too wild. Otherwise, Wang Xiao is actually a good choice."

The madam has been in the business for many years and her eyes have been trained.

Although she wanted to earn more money, Wang Xiao was not stingy even though he was short of money.

After watching it for so long, she actually thought it was a good place to go.

Hong Xiu was a little upset: "Okay, mom, look at Wang Xiao, he has no ambition to make progress, he only seeks pleasure, he only knows how to have love affairs all day long, and now that he has encountered some setbacks, he looks like he wants to die. I will never marry such a person."

The madam wanted to say something else, but in the end, she was too lazy to persuade him anymore.

Anyway, she will make money no matter what.

Shen Shuyi took a few people to a road that was the only way to get to Duke Chengguo's Mansion after returning to Beijing and waited there.

Shen Shuyi found a wonton stall that had not closed yet. This stall was close to the garrison in the city, so it was usually open until very late.

As a result, the city defense troops and garrison troops can come here directly to have a bite to eat after getting off duty, so the business is quite good.

A group of people ate the steaming hot

Sure enough, it didn't take long.

Wenren Zong returned with his group, exhausted, but everyone looked unhappy.

"It's late at night now. I wonder why Mr. Wen is in such a hurry to travel?" Shen Shuyi spoke first.

Someone dismounted and planned to ask the shopkeeper for a bowl of water. After all, they had entered the capital and could not ride a horse like that anymore, so as not to offend the important people.

But what Wenren Zong didn't expect was that as soon as he tied the reins, he met a pair of smiling eyes.

Wenren Zong narrowed his eyes: "Princess Mingzhu?"

"It's amazing that you still remember me, young master." Shen Shuyi raised the corner of his lips. Seeing that Wenren Sect returned empty-handed, he was naturally in a good mood.

"Isn't the princess here so late?" Wenren Zong asked instead of answering.

"How are I the same as you? I'm here specially waiting for you." Shen Shuyi laughed.

Wenren Zong frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I heard that the money that the prince just received was used to fill the national treasury. That's why I came here specially to ask you to help me pass on a message to Song Tingshan."

Shen Shuyi's words brought Wenren Zong back to his senses.

His face was gloomy and his eyes were sharp. He looked at Shen Shuyi with murderous intent: "It's you!"

Shen Shuyi's expression remained unchanged, he just said: "Your Highness is so righteous, you gave up five million taels of silver without hesitation, I really admire you."

"You!" Wenren Zong gritted his teeth, and clenched his hand holding the long blade again and again, wishing he could kill Shen Shuyi as soon as possible.

However, there was undisguised amusement and sarcasm in the girl's eyes, and the provocation was clear.

This shows that they are certain that he doesn't dare to take action, so they are so fearless!

"I don't understand what the princess is talking about!" Wen Renzong squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, not wanting Shen Shuyi to catch him.

Shen Shuyi stood up and said, "It's okay, as long as Prince Song understands."

After a cup of tea, Wenren Zong returned to Duke Chengguo's Mansion exhausted.

Xiao Tingshan was waiting for him in Shen Jingyu's yard. When he saw him coming, his face was warm: "A Zong, you have worked hard."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Wenren Zong's face was gloomy and he didn't look like he had succeeded.

"What? Did you fail?" Xiao Tingshan frowned and his eyes turned cold.

Wenren Zong said in a deep voice: "The silver was robbed."

Shen Jingyu's face looked grim, and she almost suspected that this was a lie that Xiao Tingshan and Wenren Zong deliberately said to deceive her.

She asked anxiously, "Who kidnapped him?"

"Your Majesty's men, General Ling Yun led his troops to surround us. In order to prevent being exposed, I had to give up."

But even so, the Wenren Sect cannot guarantee it, after all, there is no wall that is impenetrable.

"How is this possible! How did His Majesty know?" Shen Jingyu spoke first, expressing Xiao Tingshan's confusion.

Wen Renzong looked at Xiao Tingshan and said in a deep voice, "It's Shen Shuyi."

"What did you say?" Xiao Tingshan's face was gloomy: "What do you mean by that!"

"On my way back home, I met Princess Mingzhu waiting by the roadside. She asked me to bring a message to the prince, saying only..."

Wen Renzong paused and said in a deep voice, "She said that the prince is so righteous that he gave up five million taels of silver without hesitation. She admires him!"
