Chapter 278 Money for Life

The flowery eunuch narrowed his eyes and confirmed with Zhao Hu in disbelief:

"You mean to let me pay you for my life?"

Seeing the other party's unfriendly tone, Zhao Hu's face immediately turned serious.

He was about to continue whispering in the flowery eunuch's ear, but was stopped by the flowery eunuch.

When Zhao Hu saw the flowery eunuch raise his hand, his whole body shrank back suddenly, and he seemed to be on guard.

"Don't play tricks with me anymore, just say it directly!"

The flowery eunuch said to Zhao Hu in a very aggressive tone.

Zhao Hu's face immediately changed, as if he hadn't heard others talk to him like this for a long time.

"Okay, a frank person doesn't speak in secret."

Although Zhao Hu said so, his voice became smaller and smaller.

At the beginning, his voice was as loud as a bell, but at the last word, it was as thin as a mosquito. His momentum was completely inconsistent with the content of his words.

Li Xuan and others who were watching the show were also confused, not knowing what this guy was going to do.

Zhao Hu put his hand to his mouth, then lowered his voice and said something.

Princess Ankang and the others didn't hear it clearly, but Li Xuan heard it clearly, and his expression was stunned.

"Master, it's not you who pays me for my life, it's me who pays you for your life."

The originally aggressive eunuch heard this and blinked a few times, thinking that she had heard it wrong.

Then Zhao Hu turned sideways and took out a heavy bag from his arms.

"Master, there are fifty taels in it, no more, no less."

"It's already a very fair market price."

"Our young master is very face-conscious, can you please accept this money, and let the previous things be put aside and pretend that nothing happened."

"Zhao Hu is very grateful!"

Li Xuan only understood the situation at this time.

"Is this guy begging for mercy?"

"Hiss——"

"What a novel way to beg for mercy."

Thinking back to Zhao Hu's arrogant attitude before, I thought he was going to fight with the eunuch in flowery clothes.

But he was talking about spending money to settle the matter, and he was spending his own money.

At this time, Zhao Hu suddenly threw the bag of silver in his hand over, and the eunuch in flowery clothes was stunned and subconsciously took it in his hand.

"Please give me some face, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Zhao Hu said so, but he put down his hand blocking his mouth, and then shouted loudly:

"Today, your grandfather Zhao Hu is happy. If you dare to be blind again in the future, don't blame me for turning my face against you!"

Zhao Hu said a beautiful polite words, and then he separated the crowd with a dragon-like step and chased in the direction where the fourth young master Zhao left before.

Looking at his increasingly fast steps, he can be seen as a loyal servant who is reluctant to part with his young master for a quarter of an hour.

Seeing that the excitement was over, passers-by dispersed.

But they were still talking about the previous things.

"The Zhao family is still so powerful."

"That Zhao Hu is also extraordinary. He is a heroic figure with heroic spirit. It's also the luck of this young man, otherwise it would not be so easy to fool him."

"Yes, yes."

All passers-by agreed, and even a few people who passed by the flowery eunuch advised him to go home quickly and not to hang around on the road, so as to avoid Zhao Hu being upset and coming back to trouble him.

But some people asked in confusion:

"Why is Zhao Hu so majestic?"

"Why did he throw a bag to the young man before leaving? I heard it sounded like silver."

"What do you know? Master Hu is just letting this ignorant young man learn a lesson. He should leave the city before anyone gets killed."

"This capital is not a place that a young man like you can just walk into."

The passers-by spoke seriously, and the flower-clothed eunuch who realized what was going on was so angry that his face turned green and red.

"Look, Master Hu was so moved by the young man that he almost cried."

"Although Master Hu helped the fourth young master Zhao to commit atrocities because he had no choice, he is actually a good person."

Several flower-clothed eunuchs who were traveling with him looked at their colleague who was still holding the bag with strange expressions. They all circulated their qi and blood power and tried their best to control the corners of their mouths.

The insulted eunuch was so angry that his chest was heaving, but he finally endured it with his superb professionalism.

He took a few steps forward and respectfully presented the bag of silver in his hand to the two princesses.

"Ladies, how should we deal with them? Please tell me."

The eunuch grinned after he finished speaking, and couldn't wait for the two princesses to order him to catch the group of people back so that he could vent his anger.

It was rare for him to go out of the palace to perform a mission, but he ended up in such a situation.

If he didn't have an explanation, he might be laughed at by his companions for a long time in the future.

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an were still a little confused, not knowing what was going on.

The eunuch immediately explained that the silver was the money the other party paid to buy his life.

"Money to buy your life?"

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an looked stunned, then looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

I saw that fat man was quite arrogant before, and his middle-aged guard was also noisy and looked difficult to talk to. As a result, he secretly bought his life with the flowery eunuch.

"Since this money is the money paid by the other party to buy his life, why not..."

Princess Ankang thought about it and held back the word "eunuch" on her lips.

This is outside the palace, so it's better not to use such a special address.

"Why not accept it and let that person go."

Princess Ankang could also see that the flowery eunuch was angry.

But they were out for fun, and as long as the other party didn't bully her, Princess Ankang didn't bother to bother with that young master Zhao Si.

Of course, if the other party insisted on seeking death, Princess Ankang could only do nothing to help.

She knew very well that the eunuch in flowery clothes who was bowing respectfully in front of her was a master trained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It would probably take less than a cup of tea to kill the group of people just now.

Li Xuan was surprised at Zhao Hu's strength before, and this was also the reason.

Zhao Hu looked at most the strength of the eighth rank, and Li Xuan couldn't understand why he was so arrogant.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hu actually had a pair of sharp eyes.

I don't know when this guy judged that he couldn't afford to offend the eunuch in flowery clothes, and actually let him fish in troubled waters and throw down a bag of silver and run away.

And judging from the reactions of the passers-by on the road, I'm afraid that Zhao Hu is not the first time to do this.

Even if an ordinary master encounters this, I'm afraid he will have to think about what happened when he goes home before he can think clearly.

And after all, he took the money from others, so it's not easy to say anything.

I'm afraid that after a few times of confusion, the reputation of this Tiger Lord will slowly form.

The flower-dressed eunuch shook his head and refused Princess Ankang's proposal, and then explained: "Miss, we have rules. We can't keep this kind of money, otherwise we will be punished when we go back."

"This..."

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an both looked embarrassed.

At this time, the flower-dressed eunuch continued:

"This money for buying lives is originally compensated to the two ladies by the other party. It is better to use it for today's expenses, so that I will feel better."

Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at the flower-dressed eunuch in front of him.

The people in the palace are indeed talented and speak well.

The flower-dressed eunuch's borrowing flowers to offer Buddha is beautiful, and it doesn't make people feel disgusted.

Princess Ankang hasn't said anything yet, but Princess Yuan'an took the bag of silver, looked through it, and said:

"Then we will be disrespectful."

The flower-dressed eunuch said happily: "It is my honor."

After that, he slowly stepped aside and stopped disturbing the two princesses.

Li Xuan nodded, and had a good impression of this eunuch in flowery clothes who looked to be in his twenties.

"Old Zhao has cultivated quite good talents."

Princess Yuanan poured out the silver in the bag, counted it, and found that it was exactly fifty taels, not one tael more, not one tael less.

"This silver is too complete."

Thinking of the "bold words" left by Zhao Hu before, Princess Yuanan was almost laughed out of anger.

Princess Ankang also found it interesting. She didn't expect that there were so many interesting people outside the palace.

Although the fourth young master Zhao was very annoying, Zhao Hu didn't make him hate him.

Speaking of which, Zhao Hu also fulfilled his duty as a guard and spent money to protect the safety of his own young master.

"By the way, Yuanan."

"Do you know whose fourth young master of the Zhao family was?"

Princess Ankang asked curiously.

She knew nothing about what happened outside the palace, so she thought of asking Princess Yuanan.

Princess Yuanan also shook her head.

"There are many families with the surname Zhao in the capital. I don't know which family is so uneducated that they come up with such a thing."

The family that Princess Yuan An can remember is naturally not an ordinary family.

No matter which family it is, Princess Yuan An dares to say so, because she has the qualifications to say so.

"Alas, Emperor..."

"Sister, outside this palace, these second-generation people are more powerful than us."

"So many people in front of us can be bullied by them."

"What about us?"

"Just bully their own servants, and if they do too much, there will be many people to manage them, and they may be punished."

"And them!"

Princess Yuan An couldn't help shaking her head when she said this, as if she had heard a lot of absurd things.

"I heard that even the two county governments in the capital can't manage them."

"Some absurd ones, like the Zhao Si who went there before, are like a human plague. Everyone is afraid of him. Who doesn't have to go around him?"

Princess Ankang felt bad after hearing this. She had also seen how people on the road avoided Zhao Si.

That kind of reaction is almost rooted in instinct.

This is not something that can be formed in a day or two.

It can be seen how domineering Zhao Si is in daily life.

Princess Ankang's eyes rolled around, as if she had some ideas.

"Yuan An, didn't you say that we are here to investigate the case this time?"

"Do you think the person we are investigating is someone like Zhao Si?"

Princess Yuan An scooped a spoonful of steamed sugar yogurt and was about to shake her head to deny Princess Ankang's naivety.

As a result, as soon as she looked up and met Princess Ankang's bright eyes, she understood the implication of her words.

"Sister, it's not easy to intervene in this trivial matter."
