The robe clung tightly to his body, and water dripped from the train of his robe like a stream. It soon accumulated into a small puddle on the deck at his feet. Cheng Yu, Cheng Dexuan, Murong Qiuzui, Fang Zhengnan and others used it.
Looking at him with strange eyes, Yang Hao twisted the water on his robe, parted his wet long hair to the left and right, and smiled shyly at them.
Murong Qiuzui said: "Mr. Yang Yuan, this is...?"
"You old bastard is asking questions when you know the truth!" Yang Hao cursed secretly and replied: "I was walking on the deck when I suddenly heard singing on the shore. I was bored for a while and chased after her. I saw it was Miss Deng who was looking at the river and singing. I hit her casually.
He said hello, but Miss Deng jumped up in fright, lost her footing and fell into the river."
Fang Zhengnan frowned and said, "Then... why did Yang Yuanshi...?"
Yang Hao rolled his eyes and replied: "I just jumped into the water immediately to rescue him."
"Oh..." Fang Zhengnan nodded, half-smiling but not smiling: "Yang Yuanshi's water quality must not be very good..."
Yang Hao said with a straight face: "It's not bad, but it's very bad."
Cheng Dexuan held back his laughter and said, "So in the end, it was Miss Deng who dragged Yuan Yuan ashore by his hair?"
Yang Hao blushed and explained: "Actually, the water on the shore is shallow and the current is not fast. I can dig up by myself without her help. It just takes a little effort."
Murong Qiuzui and Fang Zhengnan couldn't help but giggle.
Yang Hao said angrily: "I'm going to change clothes." After saying that, he turned around and left. Cheng Yu glanced at Cheng Dexuan and followed immediately.
As soon as the three of them left, Murong Qiuzui immediately said to Fang Zhengnan: "When we were in the Deng Mansion, Qiansui and Miss Deng played the harp and harp together and secretly communicated. It was obvious that they had feelings for each other. Miss Deng must have come to see Qiantou for Deng Zuyang's sake."
, you say...will Chitose agree to help?"
"It's best to agree." Fang Zhengnan said with a gloomy face: "It doesn't matter if you fall to Deng Zuyang, but such a rare opportunity has caught the eye of that old fox Cheng Yu, how can we not report it to King Jin, King Jin and us?
The Prime Minister is our mortal enemy, so he will definitely make the best use of this rare opportunity. If the King of Wei is soft-hearted because of his desire for beauty, then he will side with our Prime Minister whether he wants it or not."
Murong Qiu Zui stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Look..., should we make peace with the King of Wei in the name of the Prime Minister? Miss Deng is the first to ask for your sincerity, and we will lend a little help. The King of Wei is still young.
If you don’t have an opinion, nine times out of ten you will be willing to help.”
"In my opinion, it's not necessary." Fang Zhengnan looked towards King Wei's cabin with the door closed, and whispered: "Young Mu Ai, if you and I had such a timid and timid person when we were King Wei's age,
A beautiful girl comes to ask for help, and she is the girl of my choice, but how can I bear to do nothing if I can help? Besides, although King Wei is cautious, he is the emperor and a nobleman after all, and he has a sense of arrogance in his chest. As I expected, he will definitely be willing.
If you and I come forward to help, it will be unsightly if it wakes him up."
Murong Qiuzui suddenly understood, nodded and said: "It makes sense, you and I should just sit back and wait for things to change. In short, Deng Zuyang doesn't care whether he lives or lives, so don't let him implicate our prime minister."
"Miss Deng, please get up quickly. If you need anything, please get up and tell me."
At this time, it was the end of the scorching summer, and autumn was equally hot. Deng Xiuer wore only a few thin and soft clothes such as silk and satin. The wet clothes were all stained on her body, and the clothes on her arms were faintly revealing flesh color.
, Kneeling there, the straight back and neck, slender waist, and round and small buttocks were all revealed. Zhao Dezhao did not dare to look at it more, and was about to reach out to help him. In this situation, he even felt that there was a difference between men and women, but Deng Xiuer was like this
He really couldn't bear to kneel for a long time.
Deng Xiu'er still couldn't stand up, bowed her head and said with tears: "Your Majesty, everything Xiu'er said just now is true. My father was indeed kept in the dark and misunderstood by his relatives. My father is by no means an unharmful and corrupt official. Now my father's life is at stake.
All in the prince's thoughts, Xiu'er has no choice but to beg the prince to show his kindness and spare my father's life."
Zhao Dezhao sighed and said: "Miss Deng, even if I believe you, it is true that Governor Deng has never been corrupt, but it is always true that his relatives relied on his power to secretly collude with Uncle Zhou Wang to manipulate the Sizhou grain market and speculate for huge profits.
, it is also true that the treasury under the direct jurisdiction of Magistrate Deng has been misappropriated. As the magistrate of Sizhou, can you be exempted from guilt by simply not knowing anything about it?"
"Your Majesty..."
"Miss Deng, to be honest, the information I got from interrogating Liu Shuchen is different from what you said. Now that I think about it, your Majesty hid the truth from your Majesty, and your uncle Liu Shuchen also hid the truth from your Majesty. He secretly
It is true that he misappropriated part of the official bank money, and that he misappropriated a large amount of official bank money and teamed up with Uncle Zhou Wang to rob the market of grain to drive up prices. In addition... what he never told the court was that he also used methods to tamper with the accounts or not enter the accounts.
He embezzled a large amount of money directly from the treasury, and also misappropriated a lot of money to use it as capital for various businesses of the Liu clan. What he did was really audacious. As a chief official, can your Majesty give up his title?"
Deng Xiu'er cried and said: "Your Highness, Xiu'er doesn't dare to expect that your highness can save her father's official career with just one word. However, this case involves a wide range of things. I'm afraid that when Datian hears about it, the officials will be furious. At that time, it will not just be dismissed from office."
It's simple. Not to mention the crime of beheading, even if he was only sentenced to military exile, how could a weak scholar like my father have suffered the hardships in the frontier after a long journey? Xiu'er only asked the prince to show mercy, thinking that my father had always been
To be honest, the only fault is that you close your eyes and ears, and that you mistrust your relatives and allow yourself to do evil. If you can carefully consider the memorials sent to the court, so that my father can be treated lightly, Xiu'er will be grateful."
"This... is a girl. This is not a matter of one family. The king's law is clear and he is involved in such a wide-ranging case. I am afraid..."
"Your Majesty, that's why Xiu'er begged the prince. It's hard to get rid of this matter. But now, the only one who can change his life is the prince. Xiu'er begged the prince. As long as the prince can show mercy outside the law, he would
My father has given me a helping hand, and Xiu'er is willing to be a slave and a maidservant, serving the prince all her life."
Zhao Dezhao wondered: "Miss Xiu'er..."
"Please, Your Majesty, have mercy!"
Deng Xiuer knelt on the ground and touched her head to the deck, making a "dong dong" sound. Zhao Dezhao saw the girl he loved kneeling at his feet begging for her. How could he endure it? His heart felt hot and his blood surged. He was so royal in his bones.
The nobleman's arrogance rushed forward and he finally made a decision.
He stretched out his hand to pull his belt and took off his robe. Deng Xiuer was shocked and her face immediately turned red. She didn't expect that Zhao Dezhao, a humble and gentleman-like person, could be so eager and obscene. Although he said that he was a slave and a maid, he had to serve him with his own body.
The meaning was there, but my father was still detained in the cabin below the deck. In broad daylight, he actually...
No matter what, filial piety comes first. If she can save her father, she will not hesitate to make any sacrifices. Besides, King Wei is also a person she likes. This body and life were given by her parents, so she should dedicate her life to them.
Thinking of this, Deng Xiuer was ashamed and scared, so she just closed her eyes and didn't move.
Zhao Dezhao took off his robe and covered Deng Xiuer's body, covering her frightening girlish body. Then he lifted her up with his arms and said in a deep voice: "That's it, I will break this for Miss Deng."
Returning to the example. Miss Deng, this king’s tour to the south of the Yangtze River is under the emperor’s order to inspect the purchase and storage of grain and grass. I cannot stay here for a long time. The imperial court has been informed of this case, and within two days the imperial envoy responsible for the case has
You will arrive soon. The girl will go back quickly to make arrangements with your father. As long as you make up the money in the government within two days, I will write off the unavoidable crime of misappropriating the money in the government. If there is no negligence in the government,
If it is a serious crime, the rest will not matter, and it will be much easier for me to take care of you!"
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty..." Deng Xiuer was overjoyed and bent down to prostrate herself.
"No gifts, no gifts, time is running out, you'd better go back and get ready for the wedding with your father-in-law."
"Yes, Xiu'er obeys the order." Deng Xiu'er tightened the robe that he put on her body, looked at him gratefully, turned around and ran out, and when he opened the door, Yang Hao was standing upright at the door, looking at the figure.
Before she could dodge, Xiu'er glanced at the eccentric Mr. Yang and ran away from him.
"Envoy Yang..." Zhao Dezhao saw Yang Hao standing at the door and called out hurriedly.
Yang Hao walked in and said, "Your Majesty."
Zhao Dezhao sighed, and after a long silence, he slowly said: "You... heard everything?"
"Yes!" Yang Hao bowed slightly, and Zhao Dezhao's expression suddenly dimmed. After all, he had just become a prince not long ago, and his dignity had not yet been developed. It was the first time he did such an illegal thing privately, but he was hit by the courtiers, and his blood boiled.
However, he couldn't help but become worried, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Miss Xiu'er is really pitiful and respectable with her filial piety. Moreover, judging from the current situation, Prefect Deng really knows nothing, so this king... this king...
…”
Yang Hao smiled and said: "The principles of law are nothing more than human feelings."
Zhao Dezhao's eyes lit up, and Yang Hao added: "After Deng Zhifu moved to Sizhou, he was isolated by the officials and gentry of the state. If he wanted to free his hands and do something, he could only rely on his relatives. Moreover, he was born in a poor family.
I have received great care from the Liu family, so I am deeply grateful to the Liu family, and I have the intention of repaying the Liu family.
However, what he didn't expect was that people's hearts can change. His second uncle, who was once honest, honest and enthusiastic, and many sincere and enthusiastic relatives from his wife's family suddenly came to this prosperous world from the countryside and suddenly became rich and powerful people.
After that, I lost myself so quickly.
Uncle Zhou Wang is a grain gentry who has been rooted in Sizhou for more than ten generations. He has wide connections and deep roots. It is not easy to find a few people to pull them into trouble. In the end, their enemies become allies. Deng Zuyang, who supported the Liu family against Uncle Zhou Wang, became their joint use.
The object is really sad to think about."
Yang Hao sighed softly and said: "Deng Zuyang bears the unshirkable responsibility for Sizhou's current situation, but... his crime is unforgivable and there are extenuating circumstances. The official believes that after this lesson, Deng Zuyang will be an official in the future.
Not only will he be an upright official, but he will also be a capable official. Saving his life may not be in line with the king's law, but it is in line with the laws of nature and humanity, so why not?"
Zhao Dezhao's face flushed with excitement, he patted Yang Hao on the shoulder and smiled gratefully.
In Tai Fu Zong's house in Jiezhou, Cheng Yu and Cheng Dexuan visited him hand in hand and had a long chat with him...
