Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 350 Humble King Teng, visits to collect debts

The luxurious carriage stopped at the gate of the Li family courtyard, and the attendants lifted the curtain.

The slightly obese King Teng pushed away the arms supported by his entourage, kicked his feet in the air and jumped hard, landing heavily, and the ground was suddenly covered in smoke and dust.

Looking up at the tall lintel of the Li Family Courtyard, King Teng gritted his teeth with a look of resentment.

"Finally... go straight to the lair of liars!" Teng Wang sneered, thinking of being cheated out of money by Li Qinzai, and the Tengwang Pavilion that he had been thinking about was turned into flying ashes, so he felt sad again, opened his mouth to the sky, and let out a strange groan deep in his throat, Like a wolf who is hungry in the middle of the night.

The county magistrate of Jinxiang walked out of the door in a hurry, and Prince Teng, who was standing outside the door, suddenly became unhappy.

He knew that she was here to visit a close friend in his boudoir, but watching his daughter walk out of a married man's house, Teng Wang had rejection written all over his body.

"Why did the father come here suddenly?" Jin Xiang was unaware of his father's rich mood at the moment.

King Teng snorted, pointed to the lintel of the other courtyard of the Li family, and said, "I'm here to settle accounts with that fellow today! You cheated me of your money and thought you could escape by hiding in a remote village?"

"By the way, where is that liar Li Qinzai? Why didn't you come out to greet me when the king came in person? Are the children of the British government so rude?"

Jin Xiang's face was a little embarrassed. Originally, she should have shared the same hatred with her father, but for some reason these few days, she had long since lost her anger at Li Qinzai's defrauding of money.

Perhaps it was the affection of a close friend in the boudoir, or it might be the talent displayed by Li Qinzai. In short, the county magistrate of Jinxiang really couldn't bear any hatred for Li Qinzai.

There are countless land properties and shops under the name of the father, and money comes easily, so it's not a big deal to be cheated a little... right?

"Father, County Uncle Li...is unwell and is lying in bed in the backyard, so he was unable to greet him in person, and asked his daughter to make an apology on his behalf." Jin Xiang said in a cold and authentic tone.

King Teng was stunned.

Originally, it was just a pretentious gesture to give someone a bad reputation, but when his daughter said this, King Teng was really angry.

What identity, what position, why should my daughter make an apology on your behalf?

"Too much deceit! Li Qinzai, pay back the money!" Teng Wang stood on tiptoe and shouted towards the door.

The Li family's trilogy was still standing at the door, and Jin Xiang suddenly felt extremely embarrassed: "Father, this is someone else's house, so don't be rude."

King Teng was furious: "Why didn't he feel rude when he lied to me? Is it rude for me to come to ask for it?"

Jin Xiang looked at him helplessly: "Father, money is money, etiquette is etiquette, don't make trouble for no reason."

King Teng suddenly became furious, and in just a few days, his elbow turned outward, regretting that she should have come to visit Cui's daughter alone, and I don't know what ecstasy soup that bastard Li Qinzai has poured into his daughter these days.

Full of anger and inconvenient to vent to his beloved daughter, King Teng had to point to the gate of the other courtyard and hop: "Li Qinzai, pay back the money!"

The men on duty outside the gate of the other courtyard looked at each other with hesitation.

If someone else dared to make such a fuss at the door of Li's house, he would have been beaten to the point where he couldn't take care of himself, but the person who was making trouble at the door was King Teng, the emperor's uncle, so it was really inconvenient to do anything, and he didn't even dare to persuade him.

King Teng doesn't care, as long as the face is thick enough, such a thing as shame does not exist.

Jin Xiang became more and more embarrassed. Her father's aggressive image really made her a little ashamed.

Leading King Teng into the gate of the other courtyard, King Teng looked left and right, and would sneer disdainfully at any arrangement he saw, curling his lips in disgust, as if he had fallen into a latrine, not only was the latrine dirty, but he was also dirty.

As soon as the father and daughter sat down in the front hall, Cui Jie hurried over from the backyard and bowed to Teng Wang Yingying.

This time, King Teng didn't make a fuss, but put on the airs of an elder and smiled kindly.

"I haven't seen the daughter of the Cui family for many years, and she is still stunning. What about your husband? It's useless to hide from her. This king is staying at your house today."

Cui Jie smiled and said: "My husband is sick and is lying in bed in the backyard. Your Highness, please stay with me. My niece will entertain Your Highness on my husband's behalf."

King Teng sneered: "Did you ever know what your husband did in Bingzhou?"

Cui Jie smiled calmly: "Your Highness, my niece is married and only knows to serve her husband. My niece is not interested in knowing about your husband's affairs."

King Teng snorted, pointed at her and said, "It's getting more and more slippery, I must have learned from your husband."

The nose suddenly sobbed a few times, Teng Wang raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in a sad voice: "To tell you the truth, my niece, my king, I... have a miserable life! Hey, hey."

Cui Jie cried when she saw him cry, the emotional change caught her off guard, and she almost burst out laughing after being taken aback for a moment.

Jin Xiang felt ashamed, and said coldly, "Father, that's enough! There's no need to put on airs in front of Jie'er, it's meaningless."

King Teng stopped crying immediately, and accepted it as soon as he said it, his sad face instantly turned dignified and serious, he stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "My niece is laughing, ha ha."

Cui Jie opened her eyes wide in shock, and remained silent for a long while.

Jin Xiang frowned and said, "Father came from Chang'an just to collect debts?"

King Teng said: "Of course...more than that."

"What else does the father want to do?"

King Teng smiled and said, "I still want to see the emperor."

Jin Xiang sighed: "The emperor is in Chang'an, there is no emperor here."

King Teng smiled mysteriously, "The Son of Heaven will be here soon."

As soon as the words were finished, a trilogy hurriedly ran from outside the gate of the other courtyard, and ran to the corridor to report to Cui Jie: "Young Madam, the emperor's imperial driver has arrived at the entrance of the village."

Surprised, Cui Jie hurriedly confessed her crime to King Teng, got up and walked towards the backyard.

King Teng sneered: "That bastard Li Qinzai doesn't dare to see me, does he dare not see the emperor? Hehe, you can't hide, you have to pay back the money."

He came to Ganjingzhuang before the emperor's driving. In fact, the main purpose of King Teng was not to collect debts, but to meet the emperor.

People who are not treated by the emperor are so humble.

Money is a trivial matter, and King Teng hoped to persuade the emperor to let him stay in Chang'an. If it doesn't work, he can stay in any city near Chang'an.

Compared with money, the future is the most important thing, especially related to a lifetime of happiness.

Sitting firmly in the hall, King Teng's eyes were unpredictable, and he had already begun to practice his wording when meeting the emperor in his mind.

There was a sound of chaotic footsteps, and Li Qinzai in a brocade robe rushed out of the backyard, crossed the corridor in the front hall, and ran towards the gate.

King Teng was furious: "Li Qinzai, pay back the money!"

Li Qinzai waved his hands without looking back, very much like the farewell gesture of the protagonist in an idol drama, leaving King Teng with a chic and unrestrained back.

King Teng's little mung bean blinked.

If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess, your future, your future is important, let's put aside the matter of debt collection...

So King Teng adjusted his clothes and ran towards the gate.

Outside the Li family's courtyard, Li Qinzai led his wife, children and trilogy to stand. Not long after, the guard of honor for Li Zhi and Empress Wu arrived.

The car stopped steadily, Li Zhi and Empress Wu got out of the car hand in hand, Li Qinzai's family of three greeted immediately.

"Chen, Li Qinzai, my respects..."

Before he finished speaking, he was supported by Li Zhi, and said with a hearty smile: "I'm an acquaintance, what do you say, first get me and the queen something to eat, hurry up, I'm hungry!"
