Crush the Protagonist Into Slag

The concierge was so frightened that he almost passed by. Seeing Tao Rui was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped him, "Sir, please do your best, this matter can't be taken care of by the little ones, so you can't take it away. You stay here, and Rong Xiao goes in to report."

Tao Rui raised his eyebrows, "Duke Xuan deliberately went to the inn to settle the bill with me, what can't I collect? If I don't accept it, I'm not going to carry the debt for the rest of my life? Although I don't think I owe the Duke Xuan's mansion anything. But since Duke Xuan mentioned it, I will give him the money because he used to be my adoptive father.

However, once the money is given, the relationship is completely broken. Don't come to me again. No matter coercion or inducement, I will never wrong my biological parents for them. gone. "

Tao Rui pushed him away and left abruptly without saying a single extra sentence.

The crowd of onlookers automatically made way for him, but when the concierge was about to chase, they stopped him.

"It's too much, the prince stole it, and he actually asked him to pay back all these years?"

"Thanks to the good fortune of the prince, or else I will not be forced to death by the sky?"

"Isn't it? Think about us ordinary people. If we ask us to take a thousand taels to kill people, and pay 10,000 taels, why not grab them?"

"I used to think that this prince can't do anything. It turns out that people have good fortune and talent. Hey, think that the old Tao family has a good life as soon as they recognize him. He has great luck!"

"He's still filial! Look at how the Duke Xuan's government forced him, and he still has to protect his parents. I heard that he is only seventeen, so this is a real man, a good son of my Zhou Dynasty. !"

"I'm sure my parents treat him well. Didn't you listen to what he said in the court? The Duke of Xuan Guo treated him badly, tsk tsk, no wonder he was able to ask his adopted son for money, or he was a stolen adopted son."

Although Tao Rui caught the rumor makers and brought them to court, everyone was a lot more careful about their words, and the rumors were suppressed all at once. But at this moment, they are numerous and powerful, and they are not used to the Xuanguo Gongfu, so you and I will bury others at the gate of Xuanguo Gongfu.

The concierge had no masters, so he hurried in and asked the housekeeper for help. The housekeeper had already listened to Xin'er and was running from the ancestral hall to this place. When I saw the ten boxes of silver and the people who were filled with righteous indignation, I suddenly felt that my eyes were dark.

He didn't care that the two masters quarreled in the ancestral hall, and knocked on the door to call someone out. The housekeeper reported Tao Rui's words and the impact to Tao Qian, and Xia Rui also whispered to Tao Li about the Li family casino. This time, Tao Li doesn't need to show weakness and sell miserable, she really fainted without getting up!

Tao Qian hurriedly asked someone to invite him, and asked the housekeeper to send the money back to Tao Rui, but the housekeeper had concerns and advised: "Young Master Guo, you should think twice before you act. Bottle, if he fights his face and doesn't want to, then he will lose both if he hits it together. The Duke's Mansion can't stand the setbacks any longer."

"Then what do you say? Accept it? That doesn't mean that I ask him for money? Although my Xuanguo's mansion has fallen a lot, it won't count the money with him. This beast, he is trying to discredit him. , do I still need my reputation? Do I still need the reputation of the Duke Xuan Guofu?" Tao Qian paced back and forth in the courtyard, his face full of anger.

The housekeeper sighed, "It's not like you don't know Shizi's temper. He can really go out of his way, but the prince's office can't confront him head-on. Small words shouldn't be said, if after the court, the two sides will not disturb each other. It won't come out like this. It was you who went to the prince to restore the reputation of the prince's mansion, and he tore his face and returned the money.

Now that he has said the words of grace and justice, in the eyes of the young, he is taking this opportunity to deliberately wipe out the kindness of the Duke's government for raising him. From now on, no matter what he does, the people will not call him unfilial. The heart is on his side.

If we stop at this point, we can have other opportunities to save face earlier, and wait for the three young masters, Zhongju, Zhongjinshi, and Zhongzhuyuan, so that the government will get better and better, and outsiders will not remember what happened today. But if I find trouble with the prince again, I am afraid that he will ruin the third young master by telling the story of the third young master and the Miss Qin family. "

The last sentence struck Tao Qian's heart.

He stopped, frowned and thought for a long time, only to realize that his stigma of asking for money could not be washed away. Tao Ruiming said he was here to warn him, which meant that if he didn't stop, Tao Rui would do something bigger. At this juncture, even if Tao Rui had no evidence, as long as he said it, people would believe it.

Tao Qian threw the rat's weapon, and could only say sullenly, "Take the money and make it clear to the people outside."

The housekeeper took the order and left, Tao Qian hammered his chest a few times, only to feel breathless and suffocated to death. This was all caused by Tao Rui, and he was so angry that he yelled at Tao Rui for being a bastard. He was even more angry when he thought that he had raised his son for 17 years for others, and it was all done by Tao Li's idiot. What bad luck did he have to marry such a vicious woman?

The housekeeper still understood the psychology of the people, and immediately said with a pleasant face when he walked out of the door: "Everyone, listen to me, what happened today is purely a misunderstanding. The wrong thing has just happened, and both sides suspect that the other side has stolen the child, and they have grievances with each other. Very normal. In fact, it is very likely that both sides were wronged, and it is unknown that the midwife did something wrong.

Earlier, the grandfather of the country and the prince were both emotional, and their words would inevitably be unpleasant, which made the prince misunderstood. Every year, the government of our country has a lot of money to reward people, how can we care about this money with the prince?

Now that the eldest son is still angry, I will save the money first, and after a while when the eldest son is relieved, the grandfather will personally send the money back to him. After all, it is the son who has been raised for 17 years. He has feelings. The grandfather of the country seems to be suffering from the pain of losing his son. I just heard that the incident here is still painful. I hope everyone can compare and understand one or two. I really look forward to the success of the son to inherit the title, otherwise he will not be sealed for the son. Everyone says right? "

Just now, Lang Zhong ran into the door, and everyone saw it. They were quite anxious, and they didn't look fake.

Of course, it was for Tao Li, and now the housekeeper has placed it on Tao Qian's head, just to whiten Tao Qian's image. He wasn't there on the day the baby was born, and the whole thing had nothing to do with him. If it weren't for the fact that he went to the inn to pay back the money today, the fire wouldn't have burned him at all.

If things develop uncontrollably and badly in the end, then abandon Tao Li's family and protect the grandfather of the whole country. The butler's words today are the foreshadowing.

Such a call is still effective, at least it suppressed everyone's righteous indignation and slowly dissipated. Although everyone's impression of Xuan Guo Gong's residence has deteriorated, this is already the greatest degree of respect.

However, this is only limited to the impression of ordinary people. For the Xungui family, anyone can say anything beautiful in face. What everyone should look at is the essence. The Xuanguo Gongfu has been included in the list of refused contact by many people.

In short, the popularity of the last time has not passed, and the Xuanguo Gongfu has once again become the talk of the capital after dinner. This time it wasn't just as simple as holding the wrong child, there were a lot of remarks about Xuan Guogong's incompetence and stupidity. Even if he keeps a son in the dark, he will be ridiculed. He has not done much himself, so he will be looked down upon even more?

Tao Rui made such a big noise, and the Tao family members who were busy visiting the new house heard about it. Seeing him coming back, Xiu Niang hurriedly pulled him up and down to look up and down, and worried: "You child, how dare you talk to them directly. Right? You won't be the heir in the future, but they will still be the government's mansion. That's someone we can't afford to offend. What if you get hurt?"

Tao Rui smiled and reassured: "Mother, don't worry. It's just to protect our family. If we really let this matter pass quietly, maybe we'll have to disappear quietly after a while. If the government wants to get a few people, they can still do it, and if no one pays attention, no one will seek justice, and no one will find out what they have done."

When Qi Lang heard the words, he immediately said, "Don't worry, if you are in any danger, go to my house to deliver a letter. I will explain to the servants, help first, and report later, so as not to delay things."

"Thank you Mingxian." Tao Rui patted him on the shoulder, "Anyway, I know that they are the ones who are throwing their hats on the mouse. After this time, they should be able to stop and won't come to trouble us again. We will settle down here first. , think about what to do in the future."

Everyone relaxed and their attention returned to the house. Fuxi smiled and said, "I've never seen such a nice house when I've grown up. There are many rooms, and the furniture in them looks very precious."

Tao Wangcai nodded and said, "I just lay down in the room for a while. That bed is comfortable, and it smells nice."

Qingsong smiled beside him: "Old man, that's the incense my mother made, it soothes the mind and is good for rest."

Tao Wangcai coughed twice and said, "Well, don't call me old man, we're just a country man with mud legs, what an old man."

Tao Rui laughed: "Grandpa, you are also used to it. In the future, I will be the young master, and my father will be the old master. Aren't you the old man? Otherwise, Qingsong and the others can't be called. There are not many things in our family now, and we don't need too many people to help. The Qingsong family works at home, and will consider inviting others later."

"That's enough, it's enough, we don't need to hire anyone in our family, your parents can do it, and I can do it if you're healthy, I'll be fine for a few more days..."

Qingsong's father listened to it and said, "Grandpa, our family has been following the young master for a long time, and we all live by the young master. You can't drive us away."

When Tao Wangcai heard it, it was all referring to his grandson to live, and he really couldn't drive away, so he quickly waved his hand and said no, and when the Qingsong family laughed, they realized that they were joking, but they really wanted to stay. He thought that Tao Rui would not be the prince soon, and they were still willing to stay. If they were really affectionate and righteous, then they naturally wanted to keep them.

Everyone laughed so much, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

The new house rents a yard with three entrances, not far from Qi's house, and the location is very good. The landlord is a wealthy businessman. Recently, he needed some money to turn around to rent and sell several houses. The price is not cheap, and I couldn't find a buyer for a while. It happened that Tao Rui wanted to rent, so he took advantage of it. He took all the lottery wins he had won before to pay the rent.

But the high price has the advantage of high price. It is obvious that someone takes care of the house on a regular basis. The flowers and trees in the courtyard are scattered, and it is very comfortable to look at. All kinds of furniture in the house are also made of good materials, comfortable to use and beautiful in style.

Qing Songniang bought mattresses and some clothes for each house, and the Tao family could move in directly without taking anything. Several rows of large and spacious houses opened the eyes of the Tao family. Tao Rui won 100,000 taels of silver, and their worries about the future disappeared. One good news after another made them unable to recover, and they even felt like celebrating dinner. Like a dream, they went back to their rooms to rest not long after the meal.

These two days, their emotions have been fluctuating a lot. They thought that when they arrived at their new home, it would be such a good home that they would not be able to sleep uncomfortably, but in fact, each of them fell asleep quickly and had sweet dreams.

Tao Li couldn't sleep anymore. When she woke up from fainting, she immediately summoned the casino steward to ask in detail what happened. On the spot, she told the steward to get out, and she was so angry that she threw a whole set of tea sets.

110,000 taels, this is not even counting those gamblers who followed Tao Rui's exposure to win, she has a lot of private houses, but more than 100,000 taels is enough to break her bones! Earlier, the emperor only copied 200,000 taels of silver after copying the house of a third-rank official, but now Tao Rui has emptied her 110,000 at once!

Her antique jewelry and Grange shops can't be sold casually. People will laugh at them to death. Tao Rui is equivalent to hollowing out all her money.

But Tao Qian specially asked the housekeeper to warn her that she was not allowed to do any extra moves. She wanted to say that Tao Qian didn't have back pain when he was standing and talking, and he didn't know it hurt unless the needle pierced his body. But Tao Qianqing always hated casinos, she didn't dare to say that the casinos belonged to her, she could only endure this dull loss. Otherwise, it will be laughed at by other ladies knowing that she runs a casino.

It's a pity that the 10,000 taels returned will go into the account of the Duke's government, which does not belong to her at all. She has to take out 100,000 taels in earnest, her heart is bleeding, and she can't wait to eat Tao Rui's meat!

However, even if the two of them were so aggrieved, it wasn't the end.

After Qi Lang celebrated the housewarming with the Tao family, he went home and complained to his father, detailing how bad the Duke Xuan's residence had been to Tao Rui over the years, emphasizing that he heard Duke Xuan scolding Tao Rui in the inn, He also asked Tao Rui to go back to the manor to save the face of the prince's manor and help his parents wrongly. As a result, Duke Xuan turned his head and pretended to be sad in front of outsiders, causing those outsiders to look at Tao Rui wrongly.

Other Censors of Qi might not believe it, they just thought it was Tao Rui who complained to Qi Lang. But Qi Lang heard it with his own ears and saw it with his own eyes in the inn, so this Qi Lang will definitely not lie.

When he went to court on the second day, someone suggested that Tao Rui was making a fuss about Yinzi, and criticized his behavior as being unfilial, showing no respect for his adoptive parents at all, and even severing ties with his adoptive parents in public.

This person is an old-fashioned Wei Yushi, who believes that children and grandchildren must be filial to their parents, regardless of whether they are right or not. He disliked Tao Rui's approach very much. If young people were like Tao Rui, they would fall out if they disagreed. What is the majesty of the elders?

Besides, he thinks what the butler said is very reasonable. If Xuan Guogong knew about it, how could he make Tao Rui the prince? How could Tao Li's son be replaced by someone else's son? It's not that she will be divorced if she can't give birth in a year or two, she doesn't need to do that at all. There must be a misunderstanding.

Hearing the words, the emperor pondered and did not speak. As soon as Wei Yushi opened his mouth, he knew that the other party didn't understand the situation and didn't care about the truth. He just wanted to spray those unruly and dogmatic behaviors.

Does Tao Rui know better than him why he did this? If it wasn't for Duke Xuan being too greedy and wanting to keep his reputation intact, Tao Rui would not have paid attention to them.

But he can't say this, he can't say that he secretly paid attention to this matter, and personally refuted Wei Yushi back?

At this time, Yushi Qi stood up. He has always been upright, he doesn't like his son playing with Tao Rui, and he doesn't want his son to lose his mind when he plays with things, but he didn't really stop his son from meeting Tao Rui, because Tao Rui has nothing serious except his love to play. Now that he learned the truth from his son, he naturally had to stand up and speak for Tao Rui.

"Your Majesty, what Yushi Wei said is wrong. Duke Xuan and his wife are the adoptive parents of the eldest son, but Mrs. Tao and his wife are his biological parents. It is true to be filial, but you cannot wrong your biological parents for the sake of adoptive parents.

When Duke Xuan was looking for Tao Rui yesterday, the son of the minister happened to be next door. He heard clearly how Duke Xuan scolded Tao Rui, and was even more surprised to learn that Duke Xuan, for the sake of the reputation of the Duke, coerced Tao Rui and that When the girl returned to the house, the matter of secretly changing the heir fell to the Tao's husband and wife. "

Qi Yushi looked at Wei Yushi and said, "Wei Yushi, dare to ask how to treat those who insult their parents? Tao Rui never spoke ill of Xuan Guo Gong's mansion since he knew the truth. The world. Now he has paid off the spending of more than ten years and expressed his stance to protect his biological parents. What is wrong with him? It's that Duke Xuan, who really doesn't know what it is!"

Qi Yushi made Wei Yushi speechless, and then he took out the memorial in a leisurely manner, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to attend Xuan Guo Gong Tao Qian's lax governance, causing the blood of Xuan Guo Gong's residence to be confused. , confuses the emperor to set up a heir, and almost makes the title fall by the side. Afterwards, instead of thinking about his own mistakes, he threatened to persecute his adopted son and acted in a sullen manner, which really humiliated the image of the prince. Please punish him severely and set an example!"
