Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Brother-in-law (2)

　　When Emperor Wu of Zhou came down with Yan Junwei, the street was already full of people watching a play.

　　A loud male voice was heard in the circle, "I bumped into you? Didn't you come over and hit me on purpose? Shen Xiyan, are you looking for a fight again?"

　　"You hit me? Meng Yanzhou, you can try it today! Do you know what is the crime of bumping into a court official? It can range from eighty to eighty sticks to a severe punishment of shackles. Come on, kidnap him and take him to the Gyeonggi Yamen!" Shen Xiyan As soon as he shouted, the scars on his face became more distorted and looked very scary.

　　Meng Yanzhou sneered, "Court official? You? As far as I know, the court regulations state that those with physical disabilities cannot serve as officials. With your honor, what kind of official do you think you are?"

　　"You!" Shen Xiyan's face turned blue with anger, and he argued, "In the past, Taizu was still proclaimed emperor even though half of his ear was missing. Why can't I be an official? Come on, tie him up and take him to the Yamen!"

　　The servants loudly agreed and stepped forward to surround Meng Yanzhou.

　　"No, these are not ordinary servants. Look at their long aura and steady feet. They are all practicing servants. Shen Xiyan deliberately set a trap to harm Meng Yanzhou!" Yan Junwei said solemnly.

　　Although Emperor Zhou Wu was not as good as Yan Junwei in martial arts, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he had already noticed it. With a cold expression on his face, he pushed away the crowd and walked in.

　　"You violated a court official? This is a serious crime and needs to be taken seriously. May I ask if you have a letter of appointment and an official seal? Take these two things out and this brother will go with you without any hesitation! ” He walked up to Meng Yanzhou and pressed his shoulder. As far as he knew, Shen Xiyan would not officially take office until half a month later, so naturally he did not have these things.

　　Meng Yanzhou was an extraordinary martial artist, but he couldn't figure out where these servants were coming from. He immediately shouted in cooperation, "Shen Xiyan, if you take out the letter of appointment and official seal, I will let you kill me today! I won't care if you kill me!" You can’t take it out…”

　　"If you can't take it out, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty say that if you pretend to be an imperial official, your home will be confiscated and exiled, or your home will be confiscated and you will be cut in half." Emperor Wu of Zhou turned the white jade bone fan in his hand, and his tone suddenly became cold, "Besides, Taizu is missing Ban Er was injured during the war, but your Excellency has a daughter. How dare you compare with Taizu? It is said that good concubines dominate the harem, and Taishi Shen has power in the government. The Shen family wants to be on par with the royal family. Do they want to? Can you cover the sky with one hand, or can you change the world?"

　　The accusations made by the visitor were more serious than the last, and they all got to the point. Although he had a gentle temperament, Shen Xiyan felt cold all over when he saw the other person's dark eyes. Seeing the scrutinizing and suspicious expressions of the onlookers, and remembering his father's repeated instructions to keep a low profile, he gritted his teeth and hesitated in his heart. Meng Yanzhou almost ruined his future, but he finally got the chance, so could he just let him go?

　　At this moment, Yan Junwei squeezed in with a young man wearing a school lieutenant's uniform. The young man was in his early twenties, very handsome, with a hint of venom in his brows. He looked at Shen Xiyan and said coldly, "Shen Xiyan, you have to offend the court officials. You will not be qualified to say this until half a month later. Today you If it’s not over, I’ll take you to the Gyeonggi Yamen personally, or you can go to the Dragon Imperial Guard.”

　　"Hmph, let's go!" The Dragon Guards are not yet completely under the control of the Shen family, and the person who comes here is a tough opponent and cannot be easily provoked. Shen Xiyan stared at several people deeply, and led his servants to line up the crowd, and retreated in embarrassment. .

　　"Brother, thank you very much!" Meng Yanzhou handed over to Emperor Zhou Wu with a hearty smile, then walked towards the young captain, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Huashan, why are you here?"

　　"Qi Donglei sent someone to deliver a letter to me." The visitor pointed to Yan Junwei beside Emperor Wu of Zhou.

　　"Don Lei, why didn't you hang out in Wenrou Village today and came outside? Thank you very much!" Meng Yanzhou walked over and slapped Yan Junwei on the shoulder with a warm tone. They are also well-known Danpants in Beijing, so the two of them naturally have some friendship.

　　"You can't see Tian'er clinging to women, he's so worthless." Yan Junwei opened the folding fan carelessly, thinking he was cool and elegant, but in fact, the wretched appearance looked really bad. The crowd of onlookers dispersed immediately. They were tired of watching Qi Donglei's excitement!

　　"Is this your friend?" Meng Yanzhou pointed at Emperor Zhou Wu beside him, who smiled gently at him.

　　"Well, I came from Zhili and went to Beijing to do some business." Yan Junwei nodded. Emperor Wu of Zhou cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to Han Hai."

　　"My lord, Meng Yanzhou, thank you very much!" Meng Yanzhou hurriedly returned the gift. He didn't have the arrogance of a young man from an aristocratic family at all. He was clearly a big man with a bold personality.

　　Because Meng Yanzhou was white and did not do his job normally, he only knew how to play around. This was the first time that Emperor Wu of Zhou saw him. Only after meeting him did he realize that this brother-in-law was not as bad as the rumors in the market.

　　"I'm Wang Huashan." The young captain also raised his hands, his solemn expression now calming down.

　　"Wang Huashan?" The smile on Emperor Zhou Wu's face was somewhat frozen. Although he had only heard this name once, he remembered it firmly in his heart. This was the person Sang Yu could entrust his family to in times of crisis. The relationship between the other party and Sang Yu must be extraordinary. How could he Can you not care?

　　"Brother Han, do you recognize me?"

　　Emperor Zhou Wu looked over with his deep eyes, which really made Wang Huashan feel a little uncomfortable. This man's eyes were extremely majestic and penetrating, and he was by no means an ordinary rich man.

　　"I don't recognize him, I vaguely heard someone mention it." Emperor Wu of Zhou waved his hands, the smile on his face was a little weak.

　　Yan Junwei's eyes flashed slightly, and he warmly invited the two of them to go upstairs to dine together. It was already noon. Qi Donglei and Han Hai were very helpful again. Meng Yanzhou and Wang Huashan followed up without refusing.

　　When he reached the door, Emperor Zhou Wu fell two steps behind, pulled Yan Junwei and asked in a low voice, "What is the origin of Wang Huashan?"

　　Sure enough, I asked! I must have heard about it from Empress Dowager De, and I felt jealous! Yan Junwei chuckled secretly, and Ma Liu reported, "His father was originally the deputy general of Duke Meng. He was a bastard in the family and was bullied by his aunt. Concubine De passed by and rescued him when he was young. She appointed him as Meng Yanzhou's long-term follower. Later she saw that he was very talented. , and persuaded Duke Meng to send him to the army for training. He has extraordinary abilities, and now he has climbed to the position of captain of the Dragon Guard. He has a foothold in the family, and he is grateful to Concubine De."

　　"Sang Yu has good eyesight. He became a captain in his early twenties without the protection of his family. He is a talented person." Emperor Wu of Zhou suppressed his sourness and said matter-of-factly.

　　"Exactly, he refused to surrender to Master Shen and is now being ostracized." Seeing the two people in the room looking over, they hurriedly ended the conversation and called the waiter to order.

　　Because he was so angry, Meng Yanzhou drank three bowls of wine in a row when he came to the table, his face was red and he looked very worried.

　　"You don't have to be like this. Although Miss Fu has an ordinary appearance, she has a good temperament and will definitely be a good wife." Wang Huashan took away the wine bowl in front of him and spoke to persuade him.

　　"That's right, Sang...your sister won't harm you. That Miss Fu has her own merits." Emperor Wu of Zhou said warmly.

　　"How did you know that my sister was interested in this marriage?" Meng Yanzhou suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes scrutinizing.

　　"I once heard Dong Lei say it." Emperor Zhou Wu responded naturally, thinking to himself: he is very alert.

　　"I heard you mention it a while ago, why did you forget it?" Yan Junwei smiled and took a sip of wine, helping his boss to lie.

　　"Of course I know that my sister will not harm me. I will marry whomever my sister tells me to marry. There are too few women in the world who are as beautiful, good-natured and smart as my sister. If I continue to be picky, I'm afraid I will be beaten. I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life." Meng Yanzhou grabbed the wine bowl, filled it, and took a big gulp, his face still darkened.

　　Emperor Wu of Zhou opened his lips and smiled when he heard this. The best woman in the world is naturally his Sang Yu.

　　"Now that you know it, just stay in the house peacefully and don't come out to cause trouble. Madam will be worried." Wang Huashan said with a frown.

　　"Yes, today is different from the past. Grand Master Shen is in charge, and your father..." Yan Junwei also wanted to give some advice. This is a serious uncle in the eyes of the emperor. He must fawn over him.

　　"Come, drink!" Wang Huashan suddenly stood up and put a bowl of wine into Yan Junwei's hand, interrupting his words. Emperor Wu of Zhou beside him had already made a gesture of silence. Sang Yu had repeatedly told him not to let Meng Yanzhou know about Duke Meng, for fear that he would impulsively go to the border to die. This is Sang Yu's biological brother, and he couldn't let anything happen to him.

　　"What's wrong with my father? Why don't you let Dong Lei continue talking?" Meng Yanzhou pushed Wang Huashan away with a solemn expression, "I know that my father is missing. Such a big thing has spread all over the capital, even if I Even if I am confined at home, I have a way to find out. Although I am reckless, I am not a fool. What will happen to my mother and sister if I leave? There is Aunt Wen at home who is making trouble for my mother, and my sister is now out of favor. If something happens to me, they will not do anything. I have to find a way to survive. Especially my sister, the palace is a place where people are cannibalized. If I don’t support the Meng family, my sister will have no way to survive. I didn’t know what my parents were thinking at the time. I want to send my sister to that shameful place. If I marry Huashan, I don’t know how happy I will be now! How can the emperor and three thousand beauties be my sister’s lover?”

　　"Yanzhou, you are drunk!" Wang Huashan quickly reached out to pat his shoulder and looked at Yan Junwei and Emperor Zhou Wu with vigilant eyes.

　　"Don't take Zui's words seriously, I didn't hear anything." Yan Junwei waved his hands quickly and peeked at Emperor Zhou Wu's expression. Oh, my face is turning blue, even the thick disguise powder can't cover it!

　　"Stop drinking," Emperor Zhou Wu glanced at Wang Huashan with a cold look, brushed away the wine bowl in front of Meng Yanzhou, and spoke cautiously, "It's okay to say this in front of us, but wouldn't it be harmful to say it to others? Your sister? My sister is blessed with profound blessings and will surely receive the most noble things in the world."

　　Is this a promise in disguise? How had Concubine De treated the emperor in the past few months, making him so affectionate? Yan Junwei lowered his eyes, curious in his heart.

　　The tone of the last sentence was deliberately emphasized, and every word was pronounced, with a certain kind of convincing power. Wang Huashan looked at Han Hai in surprise, with a flash of deep thought in his eyes. He always felt that he felt a trace of hostility from this person just now. Has he ever offended this person? Moreover, this man carries a great dignity, and his identity is by no means simple.

　　Meng Yanzhou had sobered up from his drunkenness and handed over to Emperor Zhou Wu with an embarrassed look on his face, "I speak a little carelessly. Thank you Brother Han for reminding me, and thank you both for your tolerance."

　　"It's okay. Since you know it's difficult for your sister in the palace, you shouldn't indulge yourself like this and cause trouble for her. What are your thoughts on supporting the Meng family?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked in a deep voice.

　　Before they knew each other, the brother-in-law's money was already on display. Seeing Emperor Zhou Wu's majestic posture, Yan Junwei thought to himself.

　　"I want to go to the military to gain experience, but something happened to my father, and I can't leave home right now. I can only wait until later." Meng Yanzhou looked serious, and his attitude became very respectful unknowingly.

　　"Going to get some training in the army?" Emperor Wu of Zhou pondered, then spoke slowly, "It's a troubled time right now. Let's wait until the court is settled. There may be a better place to go. Besides, your father is just missing, so nothing may happen to him."

　　"Thank you for your kind words." Meng Yanzhou replied respectfully, not realizing that he had been captured by Han Hai's majesty. However, a few simple words made him feel very reliable and at ease, and the worries in his heart were relieved a lot. After the meal, the guest and the host enjoyed themselves.

　　After dinner, Wang Huashan went to the Longjing Guard to guard duty. Meng Yanzhou, under the guidance of Emperor Zhou Wu intentionally or unintentionally, invited the two of them to the mansion as guests.
