Shocking news: The fifth-milk baby rides a ferocious beast and blows up the palace of Zha Daddy.

When Xia Yuanbo heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said...

"Sir Taiwei, you are so humble. Just now you said that I shouldn't give gifts. It would make our relationship unfamiliar. Look, didn't you also give gifts to Mr. Shangshu? Hahahaha."

He didn't know about the affair between Taiwei and Widow Zhang, so he said this.

Otherwise, he would never say it in front of the lieutenant.

The lieutenant could only laugh awkwardly a few times and quickly changed the topic.

During the conversation, Xia Yuanbo was trying to find out what treasures there were in the Taiwei Mansion.

Like what kind of pets?

The Taiwei was confused when he heard this, and said that there were never any pets in the Taiwei's mansion, but there were a few horses.

After much thought, Xia Yuanbo realized that the phoenix had nothing to do with the horse.

However, he then thought about it. The phoenix is ​​an ancient divine beast. Anyone who gets it will keep it a secret. How could he reveal it to others?

It seems that there is nothing gained today.

I can only come back another day.

Just when he was about to say goodbye to the Taiwei, the butler came in carrying large and small packages of gifts.

When the lieutenant saw it, his face immediately darkened.

He recognized that these gifts were gifts sent to Shangshu Mansion.

"what happened?"

The butler put the gift on the table and said to the Taiwei: "Report to the Master, this is a gift returned from the Shangshu Mansion."

When Xia Yuanbo saw this, he was shocked and couldn't help but ask...

"Sir Taiwei, is it really not popular in your country to give gifts?"

Did he really give the wrong gift? What the Lieutenant just said was the truth, not polite words?

Otherwise, why would Master Shangshu return the gift?

Lieutenant and housekeeper: “…….”

Facing this foreigner, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing the Taiwei's dark expression, Xia Yuanbo thought he was unhappy with the gift, so he quickly picked up the gift he had given him, said goodbye and left.

His operation.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What is this foreigner doing?

Why did you give gifts to others? Take it away?

However, at this time, the captain was thinking that Zhao Shangshu did not give him face, so he actually returned the gift. Does that mean that? He will handle Widow Zhang's case impartially.

Wouldn't he make a fool of himself in public then?

Thinking of this, he ignored Xia Yuanbo and ordered the housekeeper to prepare gifts immediately. He wanted to go to Shangshu Mansion in person.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Shangshu's mansion in a carriage, the concierge told him that Zhao Shangshu was not in the mansion and asked him to come visit another day.

Any fool knows this is just an excuse.

Obviously, Zhao Shangshu didn't want to see him and deliberately let his servants say this.

The Taiwei's face instantly turned black.

Zhao Shangshu clearly resented his eldest daughter for taking his family heirloom, and deliberately retaliated.

"Master, what should we do? Do we want to go back?" The housekeeper stood nearby and asked in a low voice.

The Taiwei turned his head and glanced at Shangshu Mansion, shook his head and said...

"No, let's wait here. I won't believe it. Mr. Zhao won't go out."

He had already inquired about it. Zhao Shangshu was in the mansion and had not gone out at all. The concierge was lying when he said that he was not in the mansion.

"Okay." The housekeeper nodded helplessly. He didn't dare to leave unless the master left.

The two porters guarding the gate were dumbfounded when they saw that the Taiwei's master and servant not only refused to leave, but also sat down on the steps to chat without any appearance. Why was the Taiwei so thick-skinned? They all said that the master is not in the house, why are they still here and not leaving?

"How to do?"

"What can we do? Go back and report to the master quickly, otherwise the master will come out later and bump into the captain, and we will be scolded again."

"Ok."

After the two porters muttered quietly, one of them quietly ran into the house to report.

The lieutenant saw this but didn't say anything.

Anyway, he won't leave if he can't see anyone today.

~

Zhao Shangshu put on his official uniform and official hat, stood up and was about to go out. A porter hurried in and reported that the Taiwei was guarding the gate and refused to leave.

Zhao Shangshu was angry and cursed...

"This old guy is not only lustful, but also a scoundrel. Does he think that by pestering me like this, I will take bribes and pervert the law? Will he cover up the truth for him? He is dreaming."

Not to mention that the common people in the capital have seen the scandal between Taiwei and Widow Zhang.

Even if no one saw it, he couldn't do such an unconscionable thing.

The housekeeper asked worriedly: "Master, what should we do?"

As an official of the imperial court, the master has to go out for work, but the lieutenant always blocks him at the gate, which is not a problem.

Zhao Shangshu: "Steward, go and prepare the carriage. I will take the back door."

He didn't believe that he couldn't avoid the old guy Taiwei.

"Yes, I will get ready right away." The butler was happy when he heard this, turned around and prepared the carriage.

He was worried that the master and the lieutenant would fight if they bumped into each other, but now it was better. The master went through the back door and could not meet the lieutenant.

In this way, the captain did not see Zhao Shangshu from noon until night. The master and servant were so hungry that they almost fainted.

Zhao Shangshu, on the other hand, leisurely went out to do business through the back door. After he was well, he went to a restaurant to have dinner, and then took a carriage back to Shangshu Mansion through the back door.

The captain's master and servant didn't know anything about these things.

When night fell, they were so hungry and thirsty that they had no choice but to take a carriage back home!

Prepare to block Zhao Shangshu again the next day.

However, they blocked the gate of Shangshu Mansion for three days, and Zhao Shangshu did not come out.

Just when the Taiwei looked confused, the housekeeper hurried over in a carriage and reported that Shangshu had gone out a long time ago. He went out through the back door and was now drinking tea with envoys from neighboring countries in a restaurant.

He also told the envoys from neighboring countries as a joke that he was stupid, perverted and an old pervert.

When the Taiwei heard this, he was so angry that smoke was rising from his head. This old guy Zhao Shangshu was so disgusting and he clearly meant to play tricks on him, so he said angrily...

"Let's go, let's settle the score with him at the restaurant."

The two porters guarding the gate breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the captain finally leaving. One of them said...

"Let's hurry up and tell the housekeeper that the Taiwei is gone. I can go through the front door tonight. I don't have to sneak around anymore and come back through the back door."

"Yes, you are absolutely right."

Restaurant.

Private room.

Xia Yuanbo was shocked when he heard that the Taiwei actually committed murder for a widow and asked

"Zhao Shangshu, is this true? How could the Taiwei do such a heartbreaking thing?"

Zhao Shangshu nodded, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said: "Of course it is true. The murderers back then were all caught. The other party said that the Taiwei was the one behind the scenes and gave him 50 taels of silver. He asked him to kill Widow Zhang’s man.”

Xia Yuanbo expressed disbelief. How could a Taiwei, a court official, do such an inhumane thing for a widow? He said, "Maybe someone deliberately framed the Taiwei?"

Zhao Shangshu shook his head and said...

"It's impossible, because the murderer also took out the silver that the Taiwei gave him, and it was indeed stamped with the seal of the Taiwei's mansion."

"This ingot of official silver is the best evidence."

Xia Yuanbo: “…….”

I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen such stupid people. If they do bad things and still give official money to the murderer, isn't it leaving a legacy of disaster?

At this moment, the door of the private room was kicked open, and immediately after, the Taiwei and several servants broke in angrily.
