Chapter 804 Five Hundred Taels

six months, the supply channels for mountain goods have become increasingly scarce. Without water, we can't grow food, and naturally, we can't grow other things. The business of mountain goods and dri...Fan Jinxiu felt the veins on her forehead throbbing.

Damn your stamina, you're going to die.

Her fingertips flashed silver, just about to make a move, when Fu Ming's voice rang out.

"Isn't this Zong Er Gongzi"

He stood beside Fang Jinshi, his tall figure casting a shadow over Zong Taimu's short stature. Zong Taimu instinctively took two steps back before recognizing who the newcomer was.

"You, are you Fu Qi"

Fang Jinshu picked her eyebrows, Fu Qi This fellow still has a layer of disguise in the capital.

"How did you get into her house"

Zong Tai looked like someone who had been cuckolded, angrily pointing at Fang Jinxiu while his eyes were fixed on Fu Ming and asked.

"Well asked."

Fu Ming and Fang Jinshu looked at each other, remembering her widow's reputation, and felt it was ultimately not appropriate.

Zong Taimu was right when he said that she, being new to the capital and having no one to back her up, was indeed vulnerable to being bullied.

Her old tactics might have worked in Xizhou, but they probably won't fly in the capital.

"I'm coming to my own home, do I still need to report to Young Master Zong Er"

Zong Taiwu was taken aback, narrowing his eyes and glaring menacingly at Fang Jinshi.

"Are you Fu Qi's woman"

It seemed as if, just by Fang Jinshi nodding her head to agree with a single word, he would immediately turn this place upside down.

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately reacted to Fu Ming's intention.

This is just a temporary solution. Knocking out Zong Taichu is really a bad move, and it can't attract Zong Pingchuan's attention for now.

She smiled and nodded in Zong Taiwu's gloomy face.

"Well, I'm afraid I'll disappoint Master Zong Er's good intentions."

Zong Taimu was not someone who could be dismissed with just two sentences. He looked back and forth between the two of them a few times, let out a cold snort.

"I don't believe it."

"Don't you two think I'm stupid Can't you see that you're just making excuses to get rid of me"

He came up with a fierce and powerful force.

"I'm putting it on the line right now." He stared at Fu Ming.

"This young lady, this son shall have her today. Even if she truly is your woman, from today onwards, she shall no longer be."

He wouldn't believe that Fu Qi, a mere businessman, dared to steal his woman.

When Fu Ming saw Zong Taiwu was so difficult to deal with, his face instantly darkened.

"Young Master Zong Er is truly giving Lord Zong and Minister Yuan face, are they aware of your deeds of bullying men and women while outside on a daily basis"

"Why don't we go to the Minister of War's and the Chancellor's houses today and have a good talk with them"

Fang Jinxiu looked at Fu Ming in surprise. Zong Taichu was a useless fool with no achievements or fame, so he couldn't have possibly known Fu Ming's true identity even if he hadn't entered the palace. However, Yuan Shangshu and Zong Pingchuan, who held official positions in the court, must have met him.

If he exposed his identity outside, would he still be able to walk freely in the future

It's better to just knock Zong Taiwu unconscious with a single needle. That would save a lot of trouble.

As soon as she drew out her silver needle, Zong Taiwu, who had just been arrogantly domineering, suddenly changed his tune.

"You, you dare bring up my grandpa to scare me!"

He hates it most in his life when people use his grandfather to pressure him.

Fu Ming coldly stared at him without speaking. He knew that the two brothers of the Zong family were fearless, but they feared Yuan Xiang.

Zong Taiwu was indeed scared.

"Alright, Fu Qi, remember this!"

"Let's go!"

He gestured, and his men left with him. Fang Jinshu looked at the shattered stone bench and frowned.

"Wait a moment."

Zong Taiwu thought he had misheard. The beauty actually called him to wait, he smiled with delight and turned back.

Just then, Fang Jinshu said coldly.

"Young Master Zong Er broke two stone stools in my house, shouldn't he pay for them"

Xiao Yue's injuries, they can't be suffered in vain!

Upon hearing this, Zong Taiwu's smile vanished from his face in an instant.

"Just a pair of stone stools, if they're broken, they're broken. Do you dare to swindle me"

What a joke! When will anyone dare to ask Zong Taiwu for compensation

"Miss, don't act so impatient just because you have some beauty."

Fang Jinshi, seeing that he wasn't going to pay up, learned from Fu's tactic just now.

"Then I'll just have to go to the Chancellor's Mansion and find a few people to spread the word about this properly. Young Master Zong Er trespassed into a civilian's home, damaged their property, and refused to pay compensation."

"This is under the Emperor's feet. If the two young masters' reputations are thoroughly ruined, it will also implicate the Chancellor's residence."

"I wonder if there are any of His Majesty's ears and eyes in this capital city."

Although Zong Taimu is a scoundrel, in this matter, especially concerning his own grandfather, he absolutely wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

He had never been threatened with this before. When the people saw him, they were terrified upon learning his identity. Who would dare to threaten him with the title of chancellor

"How much do you want me to compensate you for" Zong Taiwu gritted his teeth and asked.

This kind of thing that exploits people, Fang Jinshu is most willing to do.

She bared her small teeth and stretched out five slender jade fingers toward him.
