The drinkers around him heard the sound and looked over.
At this moment, Chu Zhaozhao's expression also changed, as if she had thought of something. She quickly lowered her head and rummaged through her purse containing silver.
But each piece of broken silver is printed with the year number in Chongsheng.
"It's broken. The money I took from the bank when I left was new silver." She muttered with an ugly face.
The waiter didn't hear what she said clearly, but looked at her expression of embarrassment, secretly thinking that he had seen through the other party's scam and was in trouble.
He suddenly became angry, looked at the people around him, raised the broken silver in his hand and started shouting loudly.
"Everyone! Take a look!"
"This girl was in the store and we treated her to delicious food and drinks. But when she left, she paid the bill and gave her fake money!"
"Thankfully I have sharp eyesight. If I really took it away, I would still have to pay for it."
"With all the meat and fish on the table, half of my salary has been wasted. How can you think of such a vicious person in this world?"
The onlookers around were attracted by this movement. When the waiter shouted like this, everyone was in an uproar and started pointing at Chu Zhaozhao.
There are some obscene words in it.
Chu Qingxiao didn't know the situation clearly, but looking at Chu Zhaozhao's panic, he probably knew that the other party might not be able to pay the bill.
He quickly stood up, looked at the waiter, and whispered: "Brother, my cousin is just having fun and is joking with you!"
"You recognize me, right? My family now lives in Black Corner Alley. In this case, you can help me advance the money first. I will get the money for you when I get home later and send it to you as soon as possible..."
Chu Qingxiao was determined to resolve the matter, but it was better that he didn't speak. As soon as he spoke, the waiter's face became more and more indignant.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the lapel of Chu Qingxiao's clothes, shouting: "Good luck to you, Chu Qingxiao!"
"We finally got a good official in Wuling City, but you almost killed him!"
"You have a good father to absolve you of your crime, but you don't want to live a life with your tail between your legs, yet you dare to bring this woman to our store to cause harm to others!"
"I think you just don't want to make things easier for the people of Wuling City!"
"You just want us to be like you and have a bad life!"
The good official he spoke of was naturally Zhu Yuan, who was attacked by Chu Qingxiao a few days ago.
That is indeed such a unique official.
After arriving in Wuling City, he established schools, reduced taxes, and opened a Jishi Hall to provide accommodation and meals for homeless people. There were many other things that benefited the people.
Therefore, he has a very high prestige in Wuling City and is loved by the people.
What Chu Qingxiao did has already aroused public indignation, and his deception at this moment is undoubtedly the fuse that ignited the long-standing anger among the people.
Hearing this, the onlookers around him also pointed their fingers at Chu Qingxiao.
Even more vicious curses rang out, and several drunken strong men geared up and swayed towards Chu Qingxiao. It seemed that they were not satisfied with the simple use of words.
Most people in the world are like this.
He likes to play the role of a noble follower when the crowd is excited and vent his anger in the name of justice.
But he doesn't care about the truth of the matter itself.
Chu Zhaozhao was also a little annoyed when he saw this. Looking at the strong men approaching, he frowned and there was murderous aura surging in his eyes.
Chu Qingxiao was shocked. He had seen what this girl was capable of, and if he was about to start a fight, someone might die.
He was about to stop him, but at this moment, a figure suddenly drove between the two parties.
"I paid for their meal," the man said, putting a huge silver ingot into the waiter's hand.
After seeing the appearance of the visitor, the eager drinkers around him suddenly stopped and the waiter was also stunned, and then he nodded and bowed obsequiously.
Chu Zhaozhao looked at the person who came with some curiosity, but Chu Qingxiao frowned with a strange look on his face.
…
"Chu Qingxiao! I haven't seen you for several months, how did you become such a virtuous person?"
"We fought quite a lot for Nian Shuang back then, but look at you like this now?"
"Oh, that's it. I'm going to Biyun City in a few days. In fact, Ruyi Mountain also invited me, but you also know that there are too many women in that place. I'm afraid that Nian Shuang will misunderstand me, so I just hung up.
We went to Biyun City, which is closer to Tianxuan Mountain."
"Now that I'm leaving, I think there are some things I can't hide from you."
"Actually, a few days after Nian Shuang left, she sent me a letter, revealing her true feelings."
"She wasn't sure about her feelings before. It was only after she left Wuling City that she understood what she cared about most."
"We're kind of like each other. I wanted to explain it to you, but I've heard about your illness and was afraid of irritating you, so I kept putting it off."
"But you look like this now, I see it in my eyes, and I am anxious in my heart. After all, although we had some unpleasantness in the past, after I got married to Nian Shuang, you are still my half-brother-in-law. I can't see you going on like this!"
"You have to cheer up. On my wedding day, you have to come to watch the ceremony. You don't want Shuang to see you like this, right?"
Outside the wine shop, a young man in brocade clothes kept a straight face and talked eloquently, with a tone that was one-third preaching, one-third regretful, and one-third sighing.
His name is Wang Che, and he is the son of Wang Dagui, the richest man in Wuling City.
Although he is a man who enjoys great achievements, he has never done any evil deeds to get rich.
Because of Zhao Nianshuang, he and Chu Qingxiao had never dealt with each other, and the two sides had been fighting openly and secretly for many years.
But now Chu Qingxiao is suffering from hysteria, and everyone in Wuling City is shouting about beating him. However, he is extremely talented and is recruited by Biyun City. At the same time, his long-lasting love has also been responded to by a beautiful woman.
The gap between the two sides was like luck, and Wang Che no longer had the competitive spirit he had in the past.
After he said this, he straightened his back and raised his head, waiting for Chu Qingxiao's exclamation and envy. He also made plans in his heart on how to comfort himself so that he could show his extraordinary demeanor.
But the two people he rescued in front of him didn't seem to be grateful at all...
"Are you going to pay me with these fake silver!?" Chu Qingxiao snatched the broken silver from Chu Zhaozhao's hand and asked while looking through it.
"This is not fake money! Take a good look at this silver. The quality and workmanship are not official silver. What are they?" Chu Zhaozhao said angrily.
"Can the official bank even print the wrong year number?" Chu Qingxiao sneered.
"This is the reign title now!" Chu Zhaozhao stamped his feet, feeling a bit of unspeakable pain in his heart when a scholar met a soldier.
"Is it really like what the waiter said, that the outside world has changed?" Chu Qingxiao didn't believe it.
"Things are far more complicated than you think. I can prove it to you. As long as we find that false god, I can prove that Zhu Yin is real." Chu Zhaozhao said anxiously.
Wang Che, who was on the side, heard the argument between the two men and was a little confused for a moment.
"No...can you pay attention to me first?"
"But the meal I paid for you..." Mr. Wang tried to regain his position as the protagonist.
"Humph, we agreed that you give money and I will help you with things. Now that you have no money, why should I accompany you to fool around with you anymore!" Chu Qingxiao said decisively, his eyes fixed on Chu Zhaozhao,
It was as if he had turned a deaf ear to the words of the prince beside him.
"Why are you like this? You only care about money!"
"How can Uncle Nian Shuang be so obsessed with a businessman like you?" Chu Zhaozhao was also a little annoyed and retorted angrily.
When Young Master Wang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stepped between the two of them: "What the hell! Why does Nian Shuang never forget him?"
"She likes this young master. Look, this is the letter she sent me yesterday. In the past few months, we have been exchanging letters every day to express our love for each other!"
He said this with great assurance, and after saying this, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over to prove that what he said was true.
But Chu Zhaozhao grabbed the envelope, pushed Wang Che aside, and then waved the envelope vigorously in front of Chu Qingxiao.
"Why don't you believe me?"
"Think about it carefully, a child with blocked spiritual veins, and a doctor who appears out of nowhere can heal him up with just a few doses of medicine!"
"Every gambler in this city can win money? Is the banker a fool?"
"We also reduced taxes by 90%, 90%?"
"Then do the officials of the imperial court still need a salary? Do the troops stationed in all directions still need to eat?"
"And more and more!"
Chu Zhaozhao's expression was excited, but she pushed him aside. Wang Che, who had just stood firm, was caught by Chu Qingxiao before he could recover.
"Look at this guy's appearance again. He said that my junior uncle corresponded with him day and night?"
"How blind do you think a person like my junior uncle must be to be able to fall in love with him!?"
Chu Zhaozhao's voice was so loud that it made Wang Che's eardrums hurt.
Young Master Wang was somewhat indignant and wanted to refute something, but seeing Chu Zhaozhao's angry look, he was a little timid after all.
I could only say aggrievedly: "I think... I'm not that bad..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Zhaozhao pushed him aside, and then the girl stepped forward, staring straight at Chu Qingxiao.
"If you can accept this! Then you can live in this hellish place for the rest of your life!"
"Be a rat that everyone shouts to beat!"
"Those Xizhou Sword Armors who fought tooth and nail for you, and that little uncle who is still waiting for you, just treat them as if they never existed!!"
After Chu Zhaozhao said this, he turned around and left with full anger.
But this time, just as she took steps, a hand was placed on her shoulder.
She was stunned and looked back.
She saw Chu Qingxiao looking directly at her.
"If what you say is true."
"Then prove it to me!"
"I only give you one chance!"
When the girl heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile broke out on her face.
She hugged Chu Qingxiao's arm excitedly: "I knew that the man my junior uncle values will not disappoint anyone!"
Chu Zhaozhao is a very beautiful girl, and Chu Qingxiao is a very healthy man.
This kind of contact made Chu Qingxiao feel a little stiff, and he was at a loss for what to do for a while.
It was probably because of this nervousness that the piece of silver he took out of Chu Zhaozhao's purse fell from his hand and fell into the snow.
It was a piece of bright broken silver.
It is silvery white in color, full of weight, and not adulterated at all. It is high-quality official silver.
But unfortunately, there are words like this printed on the bottom of it——
