Reborn: The First Rank 'Madam” – C195

C195 – Whipping

It was not hard to find out about Wang Family, on that day when Lu Zheng still hadn’t come back yet, Yang Yi had already sent over the detailed information on Wang Family. After all, Yang Yi had been in the Crane City for so long, so his understanding of local wealthy merchants was clearly much deeper than Ke Er’s.

“Master San, there’s attendant outside asking for an audience.” After Yang Yi put the item down, he casually reported it to the others. He had learned this title from the Wu Steel Manor, so he felt closer to San Ye than to Lord Zuo.

Initially, he had goosebumps after hearing someone call him ‘Madam’.

Zuo Shaoqing couldn’t think of anyone looking for him in this unfamiliar place, but he didn’t refuse, “Invite him in.”

A moment later, a servant of Cao Sect walked in with a middle-aged man that looked like a manager. “Sir, they have arrived.”

“Mm, you can leave first.” Zuo Shaoqing then called in Liu Tie, making him bring the unhappy Zuo Xiaolang out to play. Then, he looked at the middle-aged man and asked, “May I ask what Sir is looking for me for?”

The middle-aged man bowed respectfully and replied, “Lord Zuo, this servant is the steward of the Wu family. My master sent a servant to send you an invitation.”This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

“Clerk Hee?” Zuo Shaoqing quickly searched through his memory for any information on this person. If he remembered correctly, Lord clerk from Crane City was Prefect Lin’s trusted aide.

“My master has reserved a private room in the Immortal Crane Restaurant. He would like to invite you over for a chat.” The middle-aged butler sincerely invited him in.

Although he didn’t understand Clerk Hee’s intention, Zuo Shaoqing still accepted the post, “Sure, please reply to Clerk Hee. I will be there on time.”

As soon as the butler left, Zuo Xiaolang hurriedly ran in, followed by the sweating Luo Xiaoliu.

“Master ...” “Phew, the young lord’s energy is too great, this servant’s life is too old ...”

“It’s not like you want to practice martial arts with Liu Steel, you can’t even compare to a child.” Zuo Shaoqing said this, but he was still secretly proud of Zuo Xiaolang. His son was obviously not someone ordinary people could compare to.

“Daddy!” Zuo Xiaolang stretched out his hands. He treasured every day he and his father were together, especially when that terrifying man was not around.

Zuo Shaoqing looked at the invitation and saw that it was written at the time of the first day of the year. Less than four hours later, he picked up Zuo Xiaolang and kissed him on the cheek that brought out some meat, “Let’s go. Daddy will take you shopping.”

Ever since he had arrived at Crane City, two days ago, he had been busy clearing up his accounts. Afterwards, he had thrown down his small things to look at the boat, but hadn’t had the chance to properly play with Zuo Xiaolang.

Zuo Xiaolang didn’t really understand the meaning of shopping, but as long as he could be with his dad, he was willing to do anything.

Zuo Shaoqing brought him and Luo Xiaoliu out. Behind them, there were a few Cao Sect disciples following them from afar, so he didn’t mind and aimlessly walked on the street.

The Crane City was extremely great. Although the construction scale was not as grand as that of the capital, it was still exquisite. Along the way, shops and stalls were everywhere, enough to show the wealth of this place.

Especially after the coastal merchant had been gradually developed, the port, which was the most important place for Great Yang, had also quickly expanded.

In his previous life, in the last few years, Zuo Shaoqing had also heard of Crane City’s wealth. However, the huge amount of wealth gave the officials was corruption and corruption. He remembered that in the last year, countless of Crane City officials were exiled because of this.

Zuo Shaoqing did not remember who Crane City Prefect was at the time of his appointment, but no matter who it was, it was difficult to resist the temptation of money.

Perhaps to a high official, a hundred thousand taels of silver was nothing. A hundred thousand taels of silver might not be a big deal, but what about hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, or even some rare treasures that could not be bought with money? How difficult was it to maintain one’s true nature?

“Daddy ...” Zuo Xiaolang saw that his father didn’t say anything along the way, so he pulled his hair in an attempt to call his attention back.

“What’s wrong?” Zuo Shaoqing blinked and asked with a smile, “Did you see anything that you like? “Tell Daddy to buy it for you.”

Zuo Xiaolang hugged his neck and bared his teeth at the passersby. The fierce look on his face scared some of them.

“Ahhh ...” Zuo Xiaolang forcefully pulled on Zuo Shaoqing’s pants.

“What’s wrong?” Zuo Shaoqing lowered his head and asked. Zuo Xiaolang pointed at his waist and anxiously said, “Bag ...” “Bag...” He had seen his father take something out of the bag to buy a toy, but now it was gone.

Zuo Shaoqing felt around his waist, and sure enough, the purse was missing. He gritted his teeth, it must have been taken away by the man just now. He poked Luo Xiaoliu’s forehead and scolded, “How did you become attendant?”

Luo Xiaoliu shrunk his head back and said, “Who knew that there would be someone who would dare to make a move on the Emperor’s head.” In the capital, no one dared to place their hands on Zuo Shaoqing.

Zuo Xiaolang suddenly moved his nose, brushed off Zuo Shaoqing’s hand and ran in one direction.

“Xiaolang?” Zuo Shaoqing was shocked by his actions. He did not have time to think and quickly chased after him.

There were too many people on the street. He could not use his Qing Gong to step on someone’s head. As long as he pushed his way through the crowd, he would be able to catch up.

But Zuo Xiaolang ran through the crowd like a fish in water, and when Zuo Shaoqing had chased him two blocks, he still hadn’t caught up.

After turning a corner, Zuo Shaoqing suddenly heard a scream coming from an alley. He chased into the alley and saw his son lying on the back of a man with both of his hands tightly around the man’s neck.

The scream that he let out just now clearly came from the man. Zuo Shaoqing saw with his sharp eyes that there were two deep scratches on the man’s back.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Zuo Xiaolang turned around, “Ah ...” “Father, this place ...”

Zuo Shaoqing had already recognized this man as the one who had just hit him. He walked over, kicked him, and pressed his acupoint before pulling Zuo Xiaolang down.

Zuo Shaoqing did not pay any attention to his face as he turned the guy over. Instead, he touched his chest and took out a few money bags.

One of them was his. It was a pouch made from high-quality cloth with an eagle embroidered on it. It was the same type as Lu Zheng’s. Usually, he would be reluctant to throw it around, but this guy dared to steal it!

He checked the items inside. Luckily, they were all there. He opened the other pouches and took a look. They were just silver and copper coins. One of the pouches actually had a note worth 100 taels of silver.

He smiled as he poured the money into his pocket, then put the empty purse back into the thief’s arms. He even patted it carefully, “Today, I’m in a good mood. I’ll let you live. I’ll pray for good fortune!”

Picking up Zuo Xiaolang, Zuo Shaoqing complimented him first, “Son, well done!” He then reprimanded: “Don’t be so reckless next time. Luckily, this time, you are not a martial arts thief. If you know kung fu, your two moves will not be enough to fill the gaps between your teeth.”

Zuo Xiaolang moaned but didn’t say anything.

“But how did you find him?” Zuo Shaoqing asked curiously.

“Taste...” He has a smell. “

Zuo Shaoqing sighed and rubbed his head. “You really have a dog’s nose...” No, it’s a wolf’s nose! “

When he found Luo Xiaoliu, he saw that the people behind him from Cao Sect were probably the same people that followed him out. He rolled his eyes, these people were not even comparable to his son.

The youth in the lead smiled, “We, the two brothers, followed from a distance. We did not see that person make a move, and it really scared San Ye.”

Zuo Shaoqing said with a sincere face: “No problem, we’ve already caught him. Send him to the government.”

“Yes, yes!”

Zuo Shaoqing also lost his interest in shopping. He directly carried Zuo Xiaolang to the Immortal Crane Restaurant that he had made an appointment with beforehand. As soon as they entered the door, he asked the waiter to bring a basin of water to wash Zuo Xiaolang’s hands.

Looking at the blood stains under Lil Thing’s nails, Zuo Shaoqing thought for a while and decided not to cut his nails. Lil Thing’s life saving weapon was one thing, but it was good to keep it.
