Chapter 214 The shopkeeper blocked the door and demanded to pay the bill
Leng Xian saw Liu Da standing there in a daze, and he yelled again in anger, "What are you still standing there for? Go quickly!
Go quickly and come back soon! "
Then he turned to Peng Lu and said, "Go to the gate and tell the shop owners that we have reported it to the authorities and they are doing their best to investigate.
The emperor already knows about it.
I believe the thief will be caught soon and the property will be recovered soon.
What's more, we have already sent people to pick up the eldest daughter of our Marquis' Mansion.
The eldest lady is the granddaughter of Duke Anguo!
With the young lady around, what does the small amount of money owed in their shop matter?
Tell them to leave immediately and not to block the gate of my Marquis Qinxing's mansion any longer."
Peng Lu and Liu Da heard this... uh... what could they do? They could only helplessly bow and say, "Yes, Lord, we will do it right away."
Peng Lu and Liu Da left the house.
As they walked towards the gate, they both thought in their hearts, the Marquis is so shameless!
But then again, if the Marquis had any dignity, would he be so shameless as to secretly flirt with Yin while also deceivingly marrying the first wife?
If the Marquis had any dignity, would he still join forces with his second wife to seize the dowry of his first wife after she passed away?
If the Marquis has any dignity, would he still think of bringing the eldest lady back at this time and let her face everything that is happening?
The Marquis was still thinking of asking the eldest daughter to ask for money from the Anguo Mansion, and he asked for tens of thousands of taels!
My Lord, are you dreaming?
If the Duke of Anguo's Mansion could give this amount of money, it would be incredible!
The eldest daughter is someone else's granddaughter, so they will raise her.
Besides, there is an imperial decree granting marriage, and the eldest lady will marry into Prince Yu’s Mansion and become Prince Yu’s Consort next year!
As for these people in the mansion, haha...what does it have to do with them?
It would be more satisfying even if they all starved to death!
I'm afraid that for the Anguo Mansion, they would rather give the late lady's dowry to thieves than let it fall into the hands of these people in the mansion.
The two of them walked out, shaking their heads and sighing.
Liu Da looked at Peng Lu, and Peng Lu looked at Liu Da.
Peng Lu suddenly laughed, "Liu Da, you are lucky to be able to go out for a ride in the carriage.
The weather is nice today, you can enjoy the autumn scenery along the way! "
Liu Da looked at Peng Lu in confusion, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Peng, you really know how to joke!
At this time of year, who would still want to enjoy the autumn scenery? "
"What if?
Do you have any good ideas to help the Marquis solve this current dilemma?
Or can you give 10,000 taels of silver to the Marquis?" Peng Lu said, glancing at Liu Da.
Liu Dadu was about to cry, "You are making fun of me again!
I'm just a commoner. Is it okay for you to let me take out a tael of silver?
Ten thousand taels of silver...
There is no way I, Liu Da, will ever have ten thousand taels of silver in my lifetime!
Even if I live three more lifetimes, I won’t be able to have ten thousand taels of silver!”
"That's it!" Peng Lu rolled his eyes at Liu Da, "You don't have money.
The Marquis asked you to drive the carriage out of the capital to pick up the eldest lady.
Since the Marquis has assigned you this impossible mission, what else can you do along the way except enjoy the autumn scenery?
Can you bring the young lady back?
Or can you bring back 10,000 taels of silver?"
After hearing this, Liu Da grinned.
"Yes, you know it's impossible, and I know it's impossible, but the Marquis is the only one who is still daydreaming.
The Marquis thought that the eldest lady could still be manipulated by him;
The Marquis thought that the Anguo Mansion would give money to the Marquis' Mansion for the sake of the eldest lady.
Alas! "Peng Lu also smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at Liu Da, "Now that things have come to this, you should just drive the carriage out of the city with great fanfare to pick up the young lady!
As for whether it can be received back or not, no one can say for sure, right?
Do it in front of those people at the door first, and take it one level at a time!
At least we can let them leave first!
The crowds at the gate are making a lot of noise, which is really annoying!"
After hearing this, Liu Da had no choice but to nod and turned to walk towards the stable in the corner of the mansion.
Liu Da walked and thought, it's a good thing that the thieves didn't steal the carriage and the horses, otherwise they would have to run when they go out.
Liu Da walked forward, and Peng Lu's voice came from behind him, "Liu Da, prepare the carriage, and when you pull it out of the side door, go as slowly as possible, even slower...
It's best to let those people at the gate see you driving away in the carriage, understand?"
"I understand!" Liu Da turned around and responded.
Peng Lu stood there, watching Liu Dayuan's back.
He did not go toward the gate again.
Even standing here, he could hear the noise coming from the gate.
He would wait until Liu Da left before showing up.
Otherwise, even if he goes out and speaks eloquently, it will be of no use.
If things go wrong, those shopkeepers might eat him alive!
Liu Da's movements are quite skillful.
It didn't take him long to harness the best carriage in the mansion.
He led the carriage towards the side door, grabbed a stable boy and asked him to go to the front to deliver a message to Peng Lu.
The servant boy ran over obediently, met Peng Lu, and told him what Liu Da had said.
Peng Lu knew that Liu Da had already prepared the carriage and was ready to go out, so he nodded and sent the servant away.
Peng Lu stood there and took a few deep breaths before walking towards the gate.
