Chapter 355: Tied
Gu Luo looked at Chang Nian expressionlessly, "I never knew that our Anbo Prince's Mansion still had such rules, and that you could make the decision for me."
She avoided Gu Luo's gaze for many years, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I just don't want the princess to be scolded."
His voice was not too low, and someone in the crowd of onlookers immediately asked: "What does this mean? Princess Anbo is unwilling to help, and her entourage can't stand it anymore and takes action?"
"Didn't you hear what Feng Ji said? At that time, Princess Anbo's younger brother was bullied at White Deer Academy, but he and Qin Mo came forward to help. At that time, Princess Anbo was not having a good time in Anpingbo's mansion. Now that she has become a princess, this
It’s too much.”
"Shh, this is something we can say."
"Don't tell me, let's see what she does about it!"
"What does this mean? The princess has gone too far to deceive others. We are just collecting debts. Is it reasonable for him not to repay his debts? Why, the princess wants to be tyrannical with the power of the Anbo Palace?
Even if we are little people, you can't bully others like this, right?
Is it because he once stood up for your brother that we can't even collect the debt now?
From now on, if anyone comes to us and owes a debt, everyone will come to you. What will become of us, charity?
That doesn’t make sense!”
"Yes, why do you want to beat people? We have done something wrong. Why should we be beaten? We are just creditors collecting debts. It is natural for creditors to collect debts. Isn't this okay?"
"That's right, gambling debts are not debts. If he has the ability, don't owe him money. Why shouldn't he pay back the money he owes?"
"It's not like we dragged him into the gambling house to make money for gambling. His feet grew on his body. He came willingly and had fun and enjoyed himself. But if he doesn't pay back the money he owes us, we still have to get beaten?"
Those strong men didn't dare to step forward and take it seriously, but they looked angry and aggrieved, obviously they wouldn't give up.
The people nearby were talking even more.
"I also feel that Prince Anbo is not doing the right thing. If you help, you will help. Why should you beat someone? Feng Ji is pitiful, but who let him deal with such a brother? The gambling shop has provoked whoever, and you owe money."
It would be reasonable not to return it.”
"Didn't you see? It was Princess Anbo who didn't want to take care of her, and the entourage couldn't bear it anymore, so she had to take action. If he didn't take action, Princess Anbo would definitely leave."
"It's wrong to hit people anyway."
...
Discussions came in waves, and passers-by stopped and gathered around.
The coachman pulled Chang Nian anxiously, "Are you satisfied now?"
She glared at him fiercely, turned to Gu Luo and said, "Princess, this..."
Feng Ji immediately interrupted the coachman and said to Gu Luo: "Princess, please help me once. Two hundred taels is nothing to you. I will be in high school this autumn, and I will be able to repay you then."
An electric light flashed in Gu Luo's mind, and his heart suddenly lifted.
He took a deep look at Feng Ji and ordered the coachman: "Let the people who follow me send all these people to Jing Zhaoyin. The government has its own decision on how to resolve the case. Anbo Prince's Palace is not a government office. There is no room for complaints and grievances here."
.”
When Feng Ji heard this, his eyes widened in vain, looking at Gu Luo in disbelief.
Chang Nian was even more stunned and looked towards Gu Luo.
However, the driver immediately executed the move because Feng Ji was closest to him and he was afraid that Feng Ji would shout any nonsense again, so he raised his hand and struck Feng Ji on the back of the neck.
He raised his hand for a moment, and when Feng Ji saw that he was really taking action, he subconsciously looked towards Changnian.
Chang Nian was about to look at him, but suddenly he looked away and looked at Gu Luo, as if he was electrocuted.
Gu Luo looked away from him for a moment, and at the same time, the driver struck Feng Ji on the back of the neck with his palm. Feng Ji rolled his eyes and fell into the driver's arms.
"Oh my God! What is Princess Anbo going to do?"
As soon as Feng Ji fell, the coachman put his fingers into his mouth and whistled.
In the crowd, an unattractive-looking man in gray clothes, who no one would look at twice, suddenly slapped each of the strong men in the palm of his hand, and they didn't even know what happened before they could react.
He also knocked people down.
The crowd of onlookers, who were originally excited, suddenly became quiet.
It might be out of fear of authority, or it might be something else. Anyway, the discussion disappeared immediately, and everyone looked at Gu Luo.
Outside the crowd, Douya ran over panting, panting and said to Old Pumpkin squatting at the foot of the wall: "Uncle Pumpkin, I'll give you the two hundred taels of silver notes you asked me to get."
Douya always thought that Old Pumpkin was almost as poor as them, but now she found out that Old Pumpkin actually hid the banknotes behind the broken statue in the ruined temple that could hardly save its head.
Old Pumpkin squinted at the crowd in front of him, holding a twig in his mouth without taking the banknote, "No, just keep it for me first."
Douya glared at the banknote, "Should I keep it? If I keep this, my parents will kill me if they swallow the money."
In the eyes of her parents, every two hundred taels is worth three hundred taels.
Old Pumpkin didn't say anything. Douya held the banknote and squatted at the wall with him, curiously asking, "Uncle Pumpkin, where did you get so much money?"
As he spoke, Douyayan followed Old Pumpkin's gaze and looked at the crowd over there. When he saw Gu Luo inside, he stood up in shock, raised his hand and said, "That's not..."
"Yeah." Old Pumpkin also stood up, interrupting Dou Ya.
Stretching lazily, he took the two hundred taels from Dou Ya's hand and took it himself, "Go and greet them. I'll go back to eat roast chicken tonight and I'll buy it for you."
When he heard that there was roast chicken, Dou Ya, who had not eaten for a whole day, still had the time to look after Gu Luo. He immediately swallowed his saliva and ran away, "I'll go right away."
After Dou Ya ran away, Old Pumpkin leaned against the wall and looked at Gu Luo over there. He untied the wine bottle from his waist and took a sip.
A completely black cat jumped down from the roof and squatted on his shoulder. When he saw the wine pot, he came up and sniffed it, prompting Old Pumpkin to give it a slap in the face, "You want to steal my wine again!"
The black cat slapped the old pumpkin on the neck with its tail, then squatted there without moving.
The old pumpkin smiled and ruffled its hair.
Gu Luo did not get out of the carriage from beginning to end. When the coachman tied up the strong men and Feng Ji, Gu Luo said: "Send them directly to Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen, go back to the mansion to find Changle, and let Changle go there."
We will tell others that we knocked them unconscious and if they need to pay for medical expenses, we will pay for them. As for the rest, we were just passing by and were blocked.
It is not the responsibility of Prince Anbo to decide the case. I would never dare to make an opinion. I hope you will understand everything clearly.
By the way, Feng Ji helped my brother that day as a favor to me and helped Feng Ji find his family.
As a scholar, it is not easy for him to earn enough money for his pen and ink. He should be filial to his parents, but there is no reason to be filial to his brother to this extent."
As he said that, he glanced at the people watching and said, "If I pay off the two hundred taels of foreign debt for him this time, it will be nothing to me, but what about next time? He wants to study for the imperial examination, and he can't be treated like this by his brother for the rest of his life.
A drag?
If he goes to high school in the future, who knows what his brother will be able to do with him, and he will still be the one to suffer.
