Chapter 264 A Dumb Man Eats Bitter Ginseng
Wang Wenzhou cupped his hands in greeting to Zhu Youjian and said, "Brother Zhu, don't blame me for bullying you. You went too far! You clearly agreed to give Fangfang to me, yet you still got involved with her. Don't worry, I'm always loyal, I'll still give you 10% of the shares in Hanshan Supermarket! We'll meet again another day!"
After Wang Wenzhou finished speaking, he put one arm around a beautiful woman and walked away in a carefree manner.
"Pfft..." Zhu Youjian was both amused and exasperated. Although Wang Wenzhou was arrogant, he always stopped short of causing trouble. However, I am truly the emperor!
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Tian Wan immediately knelt down.
"Rise!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand. Faced with a madman like Wang Wenzhou, he could only let out a long sigh.
"Your Majesty, look, Liu Zongzhou, the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, has arrived," Tian Wan said.
"Hmm?" Zhu Youjian walked to the window and looked down. Sure enough, Liu Zongzhou was leading a large group of men over.
Just now, when Tian Wan shouted down from the window, a passerby recognized him and knew he was the emperor's father-in-law. So the passerby quickly went to report it to the authorities.
Upon hearing that the emperor's father-in-law was in danger, Liu Zongzhou immediately led his team to the scene.
When Wang Wenzhou came out, the two sides were facing each other.
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Lord Liu, it's me, Wang Wenzhou. It's nothing, you can go back to your posts. There was some idiot member of the imperial family in the restaurant who tried to steal a beautiful girl from me. Damn it! Do you think I'm easy to bully? I beat him up, but it's nothing. If he goes to the Emperor to complain, the Emperor will come after me. Don't worry about it! No one was killed."
Liu Zongzhou had just received money from Wang Wenzhou, so he was too embarrassed to do anything to Wang Wenzhou. Besides, in the capital, it was common for sons of nobles and officials to fight over women. As long as no one was killed, it was not a big deal.
“Lord Wang, I won’t see you off. I have duties to perform and must go upstairs to check on things,” Liu Zongzhou said.
"Lord Liu, I'll be going now. I'll treat you to dinner another day." After saying this, Wang Wenzhou put his arm around the baby and got into the sedan chair.
Gao Guilan followed behind Wang Wenzhou with a pout, feeling very uncomfortable.
Liu Zongzhou went upstairs and entered the room, only to be utterly terrified. The Emperor sat there with a long face, his face bruised and swollen – clearly from the beating Wang Wenzhou had given him.
"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!" Liu Zongzhou hurriedly kowtowed.
"Go and deliver the imperial decree, summon Wang Wenzhou, the prefect of Hanshan, to the palace to meet the Emperor!" Zhu Youjian was very angry and wanted to teach Wang Wenzhou a lesson.
"Your humble servant accepts the imperial decree and expresses his gratitude!" Liu Zongzhou withdrew.
"Come back!" Zhu Youjian gasped for breath and said softly, "Never mind, I was not here today, nothing happened here."
"Your humble servant obeys!" Liu Zongzhou understood that the Emperor was a man of great pride, and he was embarrassed to let others know that he had been jealous of a subject and had been taken advantage of. Wang Wenzhou had beaten the Emperor; his life was over!
After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he returned to the palace.
"Ah?" Consort Tian screamed in surprise as soon as Zhu Youjian entered the room.
"Your Majesty, what happened to you?" Consort Tian asked incredulously. The Emperor's face was clearly bruised; who was so bold as to dare strike him?
Zhu Youjian said with a wry smile, "I was beaten by a madman!"
"Exterminate his entire family!" Consort Tian said viciously.
Zhu Youjian shook his head with a wry smile. Everyone thought the emperor could kill people at will. But the emperors of the Ming Dynasty truly didn't have that ability. To kill civil officials and nobles, one had to find a crime against them; otherwise, not only could they not kill them, but they also dared not.
Besides, Wang Wenzhou hit him because of a woman. If word got out, he couldn't bear the shame.
Moreover, Zhu Youjian genuinely admired Wang Wenzhou and wanted him to preside over the peace talks. Judging from Wang Wenzhou's tone, he certainly wouldn't agree, lest he become a Qin Hui, despised by all. However, since Zhu Youjian had been beaten by Wang Wenzhou, Wang Wenzhou had no choice but to agree.
"Alas..." Zhu Youjian sighed and said softly, "Everyone knows that immortals are good, but they can't forget fame and fortune! Where are the generals and ministers of the past and present? They're all just mounds of grass on desolate graves. Immortals have their helplessness, and emperors have their worries."
Consort Tian gently applied medicine to Zhu Youjian's wound, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, who is so bold? Why don't you punish them for their offense?"
Zhu Youjian said with a wry smile, "Let's not talk about it! I can only suffer in silence after this beating; I have no way to punish him!"
Seeing that Zhu Youjian's expression was not good, Consort Tian did not dare to ask any further questions. She knew that Zhu Youjian had gone to visit his father today, and she decided to ask her father who had dared to be so bold.
The audacious Wang Wenzhou was at this moment persuading the babies to take off their clothes.
Gao Guilan was very obedient; she took off all her clothes as soon as she got into the sedan chair. But Chen Yuanyuan and Sun Rurui were both newcomers. These two beautiful women, blushing furiously, refused to take off their clothes.
“Fangfang, Ruirui, you’re not doing this right! We’re all family, what’s there to be shy about?” Wang Wenzhou said with a smile.
Chen Yuanyuan and Sun Rurui both thought Wang Wenzhou was crazy; they had never seen anyone like him.
Chen Yuanyuan felt that Wang Wenzhou would not live to see the sun rise tomorrow, and she would never give in to him even if she were beaten to death.
Overwhelmed with grief, Sun Rurui didn't want to do anything embarrassing with Wang Wenzhou, who had wronged her.
Wang Wenzhou curled his lip. "You won't take it off, huh? Well, I'll show you, Xiao Lanlan, and you'll see if you won't!"
Thinking of this, Wang Wenzhou picked up Gao Guilan and went inside with his gun.
Chen Yuanyuan cursed inwardly, "You crazy bastard, you won't be so smug for long! You dare to attack the current emperor? You'll be lucky if your entire family isn't executed!"
Sun Rurui sat silently, lost in thought. She felt as if today's events were a dream. What was even more frustrating was that even in a dream, she couldn't have imagined so many bizarre things. Her husband, who had sworn eternal love to her, had actually sold her for money. The thought cut Sun Rurui to the bone.
Wang Wenzhou was quite drunk, but his fighting ability was still very strong. The sedan chair bearers carried the sedan chair around for most of the day before Wang Wenzhou finally stopped fighting.
"Clap clap!" Wang Wenzhou patted the sedan chair and said, "Let's go back to the manor."
As soon as Wang Wenzhou's sedan chair arrived at the gate of the mansion, Wang Zhixin stopped it.
"Old Wang, what's wrong?" Wang Wenzhou asked.
"Young Master, why are you only just returning? The eunuch who delivered the decree has been waiting for a long time. Quickly receive the decree; the Emperor summons you to the palace for an audience immediately," Wang Zhixin said hastily.
Wang Wenzhou curled his lip and cursed, "What a damn family! I just beat up his relative, and he's calling me to the palace. That bastard must have complained."
"Young Master, have you gotten into trouble again?" Wang Zhixin frowned.
Wang Wenzhou laughed and said, "It's nothing! I just got into a fight with someone over Fangfang and beat up a member of the imperial family. Don't worry, Lao Wang, with my eloquence, I can talk a dead man back to life! I won't suffer any losses in a lawsuit before the Emperor!"
"Young Master? You want to take another concubine?" Wang Zhixin looked at Chen Yuanyuan and Sun Rurui, shook his head with a wry smile. His young master was used to being reckless, and he was still being reckless in the capital. What should he do? The waters in the capital are too deep. If he kicks a hornet's nest, things will not go well.
