Chapter 24: Silver gift

The next afternoon, two dirty men stood side by side at the gate of Zhuti County.

They are Sheng Hong and Zhang Zhong respectively.

Sheng Hong looked up at the words "Zhuti" engraved above the city gate, and felt a lot of emotion.

He has lived for almost forty years, and the dangers he encountered are not as long as these four days.

If it weren't for his two daughters, that guy would have been killed long ago.

By the way, there is also the guy next to him, who is so fierce that he is just as good as him.

Sheng Hong thought that on the way back, this man killed many people for money.

After all, it was still money. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't had any money to arrest his daughter's pills, Zhang Rui wouldn't have let Zhang Zhong kill anyone.

Suddenly, Sheng Hong thought of the doctor who was sympathetic.

In order to go home, Wang You begged Zhang Rui to let him go.

But he was completely overthinking. His two wives were pregnant. Can they let him go home?

However, Zhang Rui was kind after all. After he proposed to use Wang You's family and wait for the child to be born safely, he would let him go home.

Wang You agreed without thinking, saying nonsense, holding a knife around his neck, and he had to agree if he didn't agree.

"Old man, from now on, you walk on your Yangguan Road and I will cross my single-plank bridge."

Zhang Zhong put his right hand on Sheng Hong's left shoulder and said goodbye.

Then he stretched out his left foot and walked into the city.

"Wait!" Sheng Hong called him: "Go home with me."

Zhang Zhong turned around and faced him, put on his hands, and said vigilantly: "Old man, are you going to catch me?"

Sheng Hong's mouth twitched: "Who wants to catch you?"

"Then why go where you?"

"You don't have enough money, come home with me and get some for you.

Besides, my daughter is pregnant and needs to make up for it.”

Zhang Zhong looked at the less than two taels of silver in his hand, and one tael of them was snatched from Wang You.

"Okay, let's go!" Zhang Zhong put away the silver.

Just as the two entered the city, a strong man in blue linen was blocking them.

"Master, Dongrong finally found you."

This person is Sheng Hong's personal bodyguard Dong Rong.

"Stop crying, am I fine?"

Sheng Hong was very excited to see that he was an acquaintance.

"Master, this is..." Dongrong stopped crying and looked at Zhang Zhong beside him.

"Stop asking, go home." Sheng Hong didn't want to say anything.

Even though Sheng Hong didn't say it, as a servant, he didn't dare to ask again.

Then Dongrong asked his fellow servants to go back first to report to everyone.

He followed Zhang Zhong and the others and eavesdropped on their conversation.

...

When Sheng Hong and the other two arrived at the county government office, Wang Ruofu and his men were waiting.

When Wang Ruofu saw Sheng Hong who was thinking day and night, he finally couldn't help but feel emotional, and saw her break free from her daughter Hualan's little hand.

He ran towards Sheng Hong, and stopped two steps away from him, looking at him who was in a down-and-out manner.

Suddenly, Wang Ruofu pounced on Sheng Hong's arms and burst into tears: "Official, I'm not dreaming!"

Then he said: "Blessed by the Bodhisattva of Heaven, the ancestors of the Sheng family have appeared."

After saying that, he hugged Sheng Hong and started crying loudly.

"Okay, am I back now?" Sheng Hong patted her shoulder and comforted her.

"Go and prepare food quickly. I'll go and see my mother first." Sheng Hong ordered.

Wang Ruofu wiped his tears and said, "The official is hungry, I'll go and prepare now."

"Madam, wait, arrange it for him and have dinner together at that time." Sheng Hong pointed to Zhang Zhong and instructed.

"Official, this is..." Wang Ruofu looked at the young man in front of him and tentatively said.

That's right, he suspected that this young man was Sheng Hong's illegitimate son, otherwise why would he care so much about him?

"Okay, it's not what you thought." Sheng Hong knew what she was thinking.

"It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not." Wang Ruofu was secretly grateful.

...

Half an hour later, Sheng Hong met the old lady Wansheng and went to the guest room for dinner.

When he entered the room, Sheng Hong couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Zhong ate the food in front of him in a big mouthful. It seemed that he hadn't eaten for decades.

The most interesting thing is that Sheng Hong's eldest lady and daughter looked at him with disgust.

"The old man is here, come and eat quickly!" Zhang Zhong saw Sheng Hong coming, so he asked him to come over quickly.

"Official, why did you bring such a person?" Wang Ruofu came to him and whispered.

Sheng Hong did not reply, but shouted to the door with a blank expression: "Come here!"

Ten strong servants in blue clothes walked in quickly. Each of them had a long round wooden stick as thick as a fist.

The sudden change made everyone in the room at a loss.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhong held a wooden chair and slowly retreated to the corner of the wall, cursing at Sheng Hong: "Old guy, no wonder you are so kind. It turns out that you are waiting for me here.

I accept it today, but don’t be proud, one day you will fall into my father’s hands again.”

After saying that, Zhang Zhong roared angrily, rushed forward with a wooden chair, and wanted to die with them.

"You guys retreat!"

Seeing that this kid was really not afraid of death, Sheng Hong asked his servant to retreat.

"Old guy, what do you want to do?"

When Zhang Zhong saw his servant exit the room, he didn't understand what Sheng Hong had intended.

Sheng Hong had no intention, so what happened just now happened.

That was because Sheng Hong thought that he had suffered from their father and son and wanted to teach him a lesson.

Of course, I wanted to kill him even more.

In the end, he felt soft-hearted for his daughter.

Sheng Hong walked to the wooden chair and sat down. While eating, he ordered Wang Ruofu.

"Madam, prepare one hundred taels, not five hundred taels of silver to him."

"Five hundred taels!" Wang Ruofu looked at him in disbelief.

"That's right, it's five hundred taels." Sheng Hong said again.

"Official, do you know that these five hundred taels are more than half of our family's savings."

Wang Ruofu couldn't believe that he actually gave half of his property to the young man.

She even suspected that Zhang Zhong was Sheng Hong's illegitimate son, otherwise she would have given him so much money.

"Don't say so much, go and prepare for the money."

"I almost forgot, I took out the prescription." Sheng Hong said to Zhang Zhong, who looked surprised.

"Oh!" Zhang Zhong quickly took out a bloody rag from his arms, which was exactly the fetal pill prescribed by Wang You.

"Send someone to catch fifty pairs of fetal abstinence medicines, and be ready tomorrow." Sheng Hong handed her the prescription.

"Official, did you raise a woman outside and make her pregnant?"

Wang Ruofu pinched the prescription in his hand and said crying.

"What are you talking nonsense?..." Sheng Hong originally wanted to say that her daughter was pregnant, but she was full of people and could only shut up her mouth.

"You go and do it first, I'll talk to you later."

"Okay...Okay!" Wang Ruofu had red eyes and took the people out of the room.

Looking at her back leaving, Sheng Hong said to Zhang Zhong: "Follow me to the study, I have something to say."

After saying that, he got up and left the guest room and headed to the study.

Zhang Zhong was very confused. This old man first had someone surrounded him, and then gave him so much money? What exactly should he do?

Although he was confused, he still stood up and followed Sheng Hong and went to the study.
