Seeing Zhang Shou pulling Zhu Ying out of the house leisurely, Xiao Huasheng couldn't help but glance at the distraught eldest prince, as if he wanted to engrave this noble who had hurt so many people in his heart, and then hurriedly chased Zhang Shou. Zhu Er had no interest in meeting or talking to the eldest prince, and also ran away quickly.
As for Ah Liu, what the hell did he have to say to the eldest prince? However, he found that Old Salted Fish still stayed in front of the door and did not leave. He thought about it. Although he felt that the safety of Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying was the first priority, it didn't matter what Old Salted Fish wanted to do to the eldest prince. But out of consideration for less trouble, and believing that Zhu Ying's force was enough to deal with emergencies, he still stayed.
However, the young man, now quite scheming, swiftly dodged into the shadows.
Sure enough, Lao Xianyu found that everyone seemed to have left. He had been standing outside the threshold just now, so he stepped over the threshold and stopped six or seven steps away from the eldest prince. Seeing that the man was sitting on the ground with his head drooping, like a lifeless clay sculpture or wooden statue, he said softly: "Emperor Taizu will definitely regret it if he sees his descendants become like this."
The eldest prince suddenly raised his head when he heard the Emperor Taizu, a term that was not often mentioned in front of him. When he saw the old man who had carried him to the front to face a group of rioters, he could not help but say angrily: "How can a traitor like you get away with it? Are Zhu Tingfang and Zhang Shou so partial and pervert the law?"
"First, I am an innocent person being hunted down by the Changlu County Magistrate Xu Cheng and those tycoons you scolded. I cannot bear the title of traitor. Second, before you accuse them of bending the law for personal gain, think about what you and your gang of villains have done!"
In all these years, Old Salty Fish had never faced the sons of a dragon and grandsons of a phoenix at such a close distance. When he heard the words "snakes and rats from the same nest", he felt extremely happy. Therefore, when he saw the eldest prince's visceral resentful eyes, he remained calm and fearless, and instead sneered.
"The capital is a place suitable for people like you who play power games and are greedy. Cangzhou does not need people like you!"
After watching the old salted fish leave quickly, Ah Liu flashed out from the shadows and returned to the door. Seeing that the eldest prince's face was twitching due to being scolded, he did not say anything, just staring at him quietly, until the eldest prince raised his head as if unconsciously, and his eyes happened to meet his, then he raised the corners of his mouth.
However, his smile was not a soothing weapon. The eldest prince immediately became like a frightened rabbit. He supported himself with his hands and feet and backed away desperately until his back hit the leg of the table.
"You...what do you want to do?" He knew this guy was Zhang Shou's most capable lackey!
"Nothing to do, just a look." Ah Liu blurted out these eight words, and then he shrugged his shoulders slightly with disinterest, just like an ordinary idler watching a show. "In the end, there's nothing to see."
Ah Liu's completely idle tone - if Zhang Shou was here, he would definitely say he was bored to death - immediately angered the eldest prince. However, the previous experience of being beaten up when challenging Zhu Ying made him completely afraid to challenge Ah Liu, who was obviously much higher than Zhu Ying, and he could only shrink there and grit his teeth.
