Chapter 75: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Shen Yu took the riding whip and threw it on the ground.
At this moment, the servants who had been left behind by Dou Qing also followed. It turned out that there were as many as ten people, surrounding Shen Yu.
Across the door from the inn is a rather large restaurant in Shengjing.
The street was noisy at this moment, and the elegant room on the second floor of the restaurant facing the street had its windows set up.
A young man stretched his neck and looked down for a moment, then turned around and said, "It's that idiot Dou who is causing trouble in the street again, doing whatever he wants with the power of his cousin."
The man in the room took a sip of tea and said, "Let him make trouble. The bigger the trouble, the better. The Jiang family has gone too smoothly over the years and cannot be used by me, so the more trouble the better."
The young master lay on the window and stared for a moment, then rubbed his eyes and suddenly said, "Huh? Why does the person Dou Biao bully look familiar to me?"
Downstairs, Dou Qingcong pointed at Shen Yu, gritted his teeth and said, "Kneel down for me now, cut off one of your arms, and I will spare your life."
Shen Yu stood on the steps in front of the inn, looked at Dou Qing condescendingly, and said calmly: "Unfortunately, I am very rare about this arm, and I want to keep it for myself. Why don't you come up with another solution?"
Dou Qing was stunned at first, and after looking her up and down, he felt that this young man had red lips, white teeth, and a pair of bright peach blossom eyes. This was the first time he saw such a good-looking man, except of course, his cousin.
Coupled with the arrogant look in his eyes, Dou Qing's throat tightened.
Dou Qing said with a smile: "How about this? How about you come with me and go to my Dou Mansion to discuss how to solve it?"
The waiter gently tugged on Shen Yu's sleeve and said very softly: "This Dou Qing doesn't care about men and women."
How could Shen Yu not understand the frivolous look and teasing tone in Dou Qing's eyes when he looked at her? If it hadn't been for the public, she would have chopped him up long ago.
Shen Yu said: "The horse's leg I patted was only slightly injured. I will compensate you for the horse's injury. As for your injury, I also paid for the medicine. Let's forget about it."
If she wasn't afraid of making things worse, she would never have made such a concession. She shouldn't have taken action in the first place, but it was absolutely impossible for her to do nothing.
Dou Qing tilted his head, suddenly turned around, pulled out a knife from a servant, and slashed the horse's neck. Blood spurted out, and the horse fell to the ground and twitched a few times, then stopped moving.
Dou Qing turned his head, raised his chin and looked at the person in front of him provocatively, "Now that the horse is dead, I am not short of money. See if you take the initiative to come back with me, or if I tie you back."
Facing Dou Qingdou's provocation, Shen Yu clenched her teeth.
Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that horses are friends of warriors and will not behead horses unless absolutely necessary, but Dou Qing beheaded his horse in such a grand manner.
Ever since Dou Qing swung his sword to kill the horse, the smile on Shen Yu's face disappeared. She lowered her eyes slightly, her faint gaze passing over the knife in her hand, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, the servants quickly gathered around him and her, drawing swords at each other. The crowd of onlookers, fearing that they would be accidentally injured, all moved back far away, leaving an open space in the middle of the street.
"Go to Shuntian Mansion and call someone for me." Dou Qing said to the family.
Dou Qing struck the ground with a knife and raised his head: "Do you know who I am, young master? My cousin is a high official in the court. When he stamps his foot, the whole Zhou Dynasty shakes. I see you You are not an ordinary person, but you are just unlucky and fell into my hands today. I will give you another chance and follow me. I will forget about it. "
Shen Yu sneered.
Shengjing is the capital, and a falling brick can hit three capital officials.
I'm afraid there will be no other idiot besides Dou Qing who dares to say at the emperor's feet that one of his relatives would make Shengjing shake three times if he stomps his feet.
I wonder if his cousin, a high-ranking official, would want to wipe Dou Qing's neck directly after hearing such words.
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Then do you know who I am?"
Dou Qing looked around carefully. There were many young men in Kyoto. Judging from the momentum of this young man, he seemed to have a background.
"Then who are you?"
Shen Yu: "I am your father!"
As soon as she said this, everyone was stunned, and many people in the crowd laughed out loud.
Dou Qing was so angry that his eyes were about to burst. "Damn you, you are so shameless. My cousin is a third-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. I want him to ransack your home, kill your nine tribes, and then imprison you as a plaything."
Shen Yu's heart skipped a beat as she was a third-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Shen Yu frowned, "But that Minister Jiang from the Ministry of Revenue?"
Dou Qing said proudly: "That's right, you're afraid."
Seeing Shen Yu's expression change instantly, Dou Qing couldn't help but feel proud: "If you're afraid, just follow me."
Shen Yu pursed her lips. She was indeed unlucky enough, and now her mind came to her senses.
She looked at Dou Qing carefully and remembered.
She has actually met Dou Qing and has some connections with him, but she has never met him in this life.
Dou Qing, also known as Dou Mingda, is Jiang Lianzhi's cousin. In the past, she always heard people call him Mingda. Moreover, when she saw Dou Qing, Dou Qing was much fatter than he is now, so she never recognized him. Now she took a closer look at Dou Qing. On his face, you can vaguely see the shadow of the fat man.
Dou Qing is a playboy who is idle and has no real job. He spends his days doing nothing but flirting with women, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
Dou Qing had a lot of troubles in his previous life, but Jiang Lianzhi's mother was soft-hearted. Every time she cried, she would go to Jiang Lianzhi, cry, make trouble, and hang herself, asking Jiang Lianzhi to clean up the mess for him.
In his previous life, when Dou Qing went to Jiang Mansion, he encountered him touching a maid in the mansion in the garden.
Shen Yu tried to stop him, but he turned around and said that she seduced him. The maid was not a good person either. Maybe she was just trying to resist him. She even accused Shen Yu of catching her having a tryst with Dou Qing in the garden.
Fortunately, Jiang Lianzhi knew what Dou Qing was like and didn't believe him.
But her mother-in-law said that flies don't bite seamless eggs, and punished her to copy the "Female Commandments" ten times.
It's really a narrow road for enemies. Thinking of this, Shen Yu was furious.
If she confronted Dou Qing now, she might make things worse. If Jiang Lianzhi came forward, it might not end well.
Dou Qing was a money-loving person. It seemed that he had no choice but to give up his money to avoid disaster.
"Your horse was injured by you. I will compensate you with 500 taels of silver." Shen Yu said.
Dou Qing was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Do you think I'm short of silver?"
"One thousand."
"Two thousand."
"Five thousand."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion. This was a huge sum of money, enough for an ordinary family to live a life of ease and comfort.
But Shen Yu was from the Lu family of Hezhou, and no one in the whole Zhou Dynasty dared to say that they were richer than the Lu family. This amount of money was a drop in the bucket for her.
Even if he took her money, it would depend on whether Dou Qing had the life to spend it. He would have to spit out the extra money later.
Shen Yu: "Ten thousand!"
Dou Qing was also stunned. Although he was born into a prominent family and had been living a life of luxury since childhood, he had never seen ten thousand taels of silver.
Ten thousand taels, it was more than enough to buy a dozen beautiful concubines. Although he couldn't get this beautiful boy, he could take the money first and then play dirty.
But looking at the boy's attitude, the price should be able to rise.
"Fifty thousand taels!" Dou Qing opened his mouth with his neck held high.
Shen Yu snorted coldly, "Why don't you go and rob him?"
The young master upstairs finally confirmed this and clapped his hands and said, "Hey, I really saw him."
