Volume Four, The East Rising of the Empire, Chapter Eighteen

.Da's words seemed fair, but their tone obviously helped the middle-aged people's arrogant attitude when they first boarded the boat, which made many people feel disgusted, and everyone shook their heads for a moment.

Several merchants were immediately overjoyed, and the merchant whose head was broken said hatefully: "I saw it. You said we were dirty words to your daughter, but no one proved it. Instead, you ordered the servants to hurt us. Everyone saw this. How do you think you should compensate?"

"Yes, compensation, otherwise we will go to see the official." The other merchants started to speak.

"You...you..." The middle-aged man with a hook nose was so angry that he trembled all over. Unexpectedly, these people shot a target. He looked around, trying to find someone who supported him, but when he saw his eyes, everyone avoided it.

The boss of the ship asked without expression: "Since no one proves that this guest official, it seems that the responsibility is clear. Are you willing to pay medical expenses and compensate for everything that was damaged on the ship, or are you willing to interview the official?"

"Hmph, you will meet the officials when you see them, and I will not believe them. If you slander the concubine, the government will not be the master of me." The middle-aged man said hatefully.

The boss of the ship sneered: "You have to think about it. Once you meet the official, if you lose the lawsuit, your daughter's qualification to show off may be cancelled."

Hearing the big talk by the boat owner, the middle-aged man's face finally changed. Like all his parents who are accustomed to the dragon and accompaniment, he put all his hopes of shining his family on his daughter. Once his daughter loses his identity as a showbiz, it means that all his previous hopes are ruined. It's just that these businessmen are disturbing their tongues behind their backs and want to pay their own money. In fact, he is unwilling to accept it.

After looking at the location of the ship warehouse, a hint of joy appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He hurriedly said, "Who said I don't have a witness? The two young people in the ship warehouse must have heard it." After that, the middle-aged man knocked on the warehouse gate where Xia and Huang were.

Although Xia and Huang had not opened the warehouse door, Zhan and the others could hear clearly what happened outside. They had no good feelings for both parties and did not care about such idiots. After hearing the knock on the door, Xia Yunzhen opened the warehouse door helplessly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Young Master, you say, these people are talking badly about my daughter behind their backs. My daughter is a innocent daughter. What's more, they are going to enter the palace. How can they let them ruin it behind their backs? It's all their own fault for me to teach them a lesson." After the middle-aged man said that, he looked at Xia Yunzhen, Huang Wanqiu and the others. At this moment, he felt a little regretful that he shouldn't be too arrogant when the boat was on the boat.

Time. Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia and Huang. After all, the two of them were on the side of the merchants. If it was proved that these merchants were talking nonsense, Huang and Huang were the best candidates. Several merchants were even more anxious. They bowed to Xia and Huang and Huang in a slight manner. The boss of the boat frowned and glared at him hatefully as a warning. In fact, he had no intention of pursuing who is right and who is wrong. He just wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible. He was just trying to avoid trouble. He was very kind to the middle-aged man with a hook nose. If he took the truth, he would definitely be unwilling to be the thing that the boss of the boat hated the most. He would subconsciously help the merchants talk. Now, the testimony of Huang and Huang may make the simple matter complicated again. The boss of the boat seemed to warn Xia and Huang and Huang. With the boss of the boat, he could naturally see that Xia and Huang were women. Generally speaking, women were always weak.

Whether it was a few businessmen who begged or warned the ship, it was useless to Xia and Huang. Although they didn't like this middle-aged man who was determined to send his daughter to the palace and had a great dream. Xia Yunzhen disdained to lie and nodded: "Yes. I did hear it. These people did say a lot of bad things about this gentleman's daughter behind them."

The middle-aged man was immediately overjoyed and bowed quickly, saying, "Thank you, young master, for speaking up for justice."

The boss of the ship looked at Xia Yunzhen in surprise and felt a miscalculation in his heart. The faces of the merchants suddenly collapsed. The injured merchant said unwillingly: "You said we said it. Who knows you are not the same group."

This was a bit nonsense. Everyone saw it when they got on the boat. The middle-aged father and daughter, Xia and Huang, didn't know each other at all. The boss of the boat could not pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time. He shouted to the businessman: "Shut up. Since this little brother testified, the matter is clear. Don't try to argue anymore. Don't apologize. Please forgive me."

Several merchants looked at each other, looked at the middle-aged man, then looked at the boat boss and several powerful sailors of Kong Wu. Finally, they had to bow their heads and admit their mistakes: "This big brother, we are mean, we should not be messing with our tongues behind us, please forgive me."

"Hmph, you just ruin my daughter's reputation, can you just apologize?" The middle-aged man sneered and became proud again: "Send the official, send the official, and after you arrive in the capital, you can apologize to the yamen."

As soon as the middle-aged man's words fell, the businessmen's faces looked even more ugly, although

The rule was much clearer than before, and the court did not suppress the merchants and was unwilling to go to the government to take part in a fight. Moreover, he became a defendant and had no choice but to look at the boss of the ship with a helping look.

Although the boss of the ship was not afraid of seeing the official, he was really unwilling to waste time and affect his business. He had to pull the middle-aged man aside and discuss it in a low voice. He had no choice but to say all the good things. The middle-aged man was just unwilling to let go. In the end, the boss of the ship was immediately annoyed and said, "Okay, since the guest insisted on seeing the official, I had nothing to say, but I would not make any proof for you in advance. After arriving in Nanjing, you should escort them to see the official yourself."

The boss of the ship was unwilling to prove that the middle-aged man was stunned and had to look at Xia Yunzhen again. Xia Yunzhen shook her head, and naturally she would not deal with the government.

"This gentleman, please forgive others when you have to. Moreover, if you really see an official, your reputation of a daughter will inevitably be affected. As the saying goes, hurt others and yourself, why bother?"

"Yes, yes, brother, we have apologized. We are responsible for the medical expenses ourselves. We will also compensate for the broken things on the ship. We are just a little bit humble and have no malice. Let us go." Several merchants quickly beg for mercy.

If the boat boss is the boss and the middle-aged man doesn't give him face, Xia Yunzhen just testified to him and he needs to give him some face. Moreover, Xia Yunzhen's words really touched him. When he saw the official, his daughter's reputation was inevitably affected. He was so angry just now that it was the other party who said his daughter was unbearable behind him. The middle-aged man thought about it day and night that his daughter could fly up to a high branch, and he was so precious that he naturally could not tolerate others' sucking sand.

"Okay, you guys are cheap, get out."

"Yes, yes, let's get out right away." Several merchants ran away with their heads in their arms.

"It's all gone, it's all gone, there's nothing to see." The boss of the ship breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if he could solve this problem. He was worried that the middle-aged man would be reluctant to give in.

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the other passengers of the boat suddenly scattered. The merchants walked to the deck and found that the place they had just come out was their position. In the future, they would sleep for several days on the boat. They just wanted to go back but they really had no face, so they had to beg the boss to change their positions again. The boss of the boat collected the money they compensated, and was afraid that the few people would conflict with the middle-aged life after they went back, so that the crew members could vacate a room for a few merchants to live in, and the original position had to be empty.

"Thank you, young master." After everyone left, the young man thanked Xia Yunzhen again. After this lesson, the middle-aged man obviously realized the disadvantage of being isolated by everyone. In addition, Xia and Huang were handsome, which made people feel uncomfortable. Without the words of the merchants in the middle, both sides would become neighbors in the next few days. The middle-aged man deliberately narrowed the distance between each other and introduced himself: "My surname is Cheng, his name is Liang." He pointed to the girl behind him and said, "This is the little girl Yuanyang, I don't know the names of the two young masters Gao."

"Chen Yuanyuan?" Xia Yunzhen's face turned strange. Although there was no Yuanyuan song written by Wu Meicun, "I am angry with the beauty." However, Chen Yuanyuan's reputation was still not bad at all.

"Is it Chen Yuanyuan?" The middle-aged man saw Xia Yunzhen's expression and immediately understood that the other party had a misunderstanding. He gave his daughter the name Chen Yuanyuan but was not famous. Otherwise, he would never have made his daughter similar to the name of a prostitute, even if the prostitute was famous all over the world: "My surname is Cheng, it is successful, and the little girl is named Yuanyang Fei Yuanyuan."

But the man named Cheng Liang was speechless. Xia Yunzhen only heard his surname clearly, but his name was still confused. What is Yuanyuan but Yuanyuan, but she is dressed up now, and she is not easy to inquire about the name of a strange woman in detail. She nodded: "I'm Xia's surname Xia, this is my cousin, my surname is Huang."

The two of them had reported their names when they first got on the boat. However, at that time, Cheng Liang obviously did not focus on Xia Yunzhen and Huang Wanqiu. He also reported his name and his daughter's name, but the other party only reported one surname. Cheng Liang couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied and showed on his face.

Seeing her father's face, Cheng Yuanyang pulled her father's sleeve. She was not an extremely shy woman. She didn't hear the words of the merchants just now. But the later dispute made her blush and it has not subsided yet. She is the person she is most grateful to Xia Yunzhen. If it weren't for Xia Yunzhen, their father and daughter were misunderstood by the whole boat. I'm afraid she could only jump into the sea to prove her innocence.

"It turns out it's Mr. Xia and Mr. Huang." When he felt his daughter pulling him, Cheng Liang endured it and said, "I wonder if the two young men can appreciate their faces. I can have a cup of hot tea in the ship warehouse where I got off, so that I can express my gratitude next time."
