Chapter 250

She found Ouyang Xu's small courtyard.

Just in time to see Ouyang Xu at the door.

It seemed he was already planning to set off on a long journey to Jin Ling.

"Ouyang Xu, I have come to find you to write a letter of annulment, and you must return the Night Revelry Painting I gave you."

"From now on, we will have no more connection."

"You walk your road, and I will walk my bridge!"

Seeing the other party, Zhao Paner said resolutely.

"No problem."

Now Ouyang Xu was afraid of Zhao Paner pestering him.

So he agreed decisively.

Thus he returned to his room to write the letter of annulment.

Then he looked for the painting.

The letter of annulment was written quickly.

But the painting was not found.

This made Ouyang Xu frown, because he was about to set off immediately.

So he asked Du Changfeng, who had come to see him off.

"Brother Changfeng, do you know about the painting?"

Du Changfeng shook his head: "I don't know; Uncle De might have added the painting to the gift list and sent it out."

Ouyang Xu nodded, so he called the old servant Uncle De, who was packing things.

"Uncle De, where is that 'Night Revelry Painting'?"

"Young Master, I don't remember either; it should have been given to some noble person."

Uncle De thought for a moment and shook his head.

After arriving in the Divine Capital.

Ouyang Xu, in order to be on good terms with the officials, had sent many things to many high officials.

It was not strange that this included the "Night Revelry Painting."

Because they did not know the secret of the "Night Revelry Painting."

And in fact.

The "Night Revelry Painting" had indeed been given to a former Chief Secretary, Ke Zheng.

This made Ouyang Xu frown: "Then what should be done?"

"It's nothing more than wanting to exchange it for money; just give her some money to send her away," Du Changfeng said contemptuously.

Ouyang Xu nodded with a smile of approval.

"Fine, Uncle De, then take 300 taels of gold!"

He thought that the painting was not the work of any famous painter, nor was it an antique, so selling it for about ten gold would be enough.

Giving three hundred taels of gold was already a lot.

This was his self-perceived compensation to Zhao Paner.

In fact, he still had true feelings for Zhao Paner in his heart.

But these true feelings, in the face of his own interests and future, were ultimately not as heavy as the latter!

Learning that Ouyang Xu was going to give money and write a letter of annulment.

Uncle De became anxious, hurriedly persuading Ouyang Xu with bitter words after hearing on the road about Zhao Paner deceiving Zhou She: "Young Master, you have been deceived by this woman; you cannot write a letter of annulment for this woman, lest she go to the government office to sue you!"

Du Changfeng on the side also fully agreed after hearing this: "Uncle De's words make sense; even without considering this woman, she is now living in Jia Hui's house; if the letter of annulment is obtained by him, perhaps he will also take the opportunity to cause trouble."

This made Ouyang Xu break out in a cold sweat!

He immediately tore up the letter of annulment!

Then.

Ouyang Xu was helpless; he discovered.

He could not do any of the things Zhao Paner had said!

He was destined to break his promise to Zhao Paner.

So he could only listen to Uncle De and hide from seeing Zhao Paner.

He only let Uncle De take a sum of money to Zhao Paner.

After sending the person away, he set off for Jin Ling.

Zhao Paner did not believe Ouyang Xu would break his promise.

But Ouyang Xu did not appear for a long time.

She could only stay at the door.

Wanting to find Ouyang Xu to ask clearly, but she was blocked outside the door and couldn't get in.

Uncle De came out arrogantly with the money.

Throwing it to Zhao Paner, he said: "There is no painting, and there is no letter of annulment; here are three hundred taels of gold, which is more than ten times the cost of my young master's trip to the capital for the exams."

"Take the money and get out of here immediately if you are sensible."

【173】 Zhao Paner is stripped in the street! Crisis

On the street, many passersby and neighbors were attracted to watch.

Zhao Paner was humiliated like this, her beautiful face full of anger: "If you don't give me the letter of annulment and the painting, I won't leave!"

Throwing the silver to the ground!

She didn't come for this money!

She only wanted her things back!

The previous money could just be considered as feeding a dog!

Uncle De was furious:

"Actually daring to act tough, come, immediately go to the yamen and call people."

A young servant immediately ran to call people.

The capital not only had the City Guard and the 'Bad People.'

There was also the Jingzhao Prefecture.

The Jingzhao Prefecture included the Divine Capital and several surrounding counties.

And the highest official was the Jingzhao Mayor.

The Jingzhao Mayor was one of the three assistants, a third-rank official, governing the three officials of the capital region, namely the Jingzhao Mayor, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng.

In charge of the capital and its surrounding areas, his status was equivalent to the mayor of a modern capital, and his power was even much greater.

The so-called 'Jing' means extremely large, and 'Zhao' indicates a large number.

The name Jingzhao shows the style and scale of a great country's capital.

Seeing Uncle De reporting to the officials.

Zhao Paner thought she was in the right, so she was not afraid.

So she waited.

Before long.

Jingzhao Prefecture officials appeared.

Uncle De saw a team of seven Jingzhao Prefecture officials passing by.

He directly falsely accused: "This official, my master is the new third-place scholar Ouyang Xu, and this commoner is here to blackmail my master in the Divine Capital."

"Please strip this bitch's clothes off as a warning to others!"

As he spoke, he blatantly gave the leader a piece of gold.

At the same time emphasizing that Zhao Paner was just a commoner with no status.

This made Zhao Paner suddenly terrified!
