Chapter 1172 Wu Dao was beaten
Mrs. Wu knew her husband's character. She looked at him helplessly but still took out the banknote obediently.
The waiter was even more enthusiastic and said respectfully: "In order to thank you for your care for our store, we will give you an extra twenty taels of silver worth of food and drinks..."
"Is there such a good thing?"
Wu Dao was surprised. "Okay, we'll ask for it later. Go do your work first. We'll call you when we have something to say!"
"Yes!"
The waiter agreed respectfully and said to Lan Hua, "Misses, do you need me to take you to your room? There are some items for women in the women's room. The store has special female waiters to introduce those items to women..."
"no, I'm fine……"
Lan Hua waved her hands repeatedly.
He had already seen how shady this inn was, and she didn't want to waste her money.
"Let them introduce it to you!" Wu Dao was generous, "Take it if you need it."
Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately went outside and called a pretty female waitress to come over.
Seeing that he had called everyone over, Lan Hua couldn't refuse and could only follow him to her room.
But she secretly made up her mind not to take anything from there, so as not to be cheated.
However, unfortunately, Lan Hua was eventually cheated.
That night, they had dinner in the inn.
Their dishes are very rich, including chicken, duck, fish, mutton, and most of them are free dishes provided by the inn.
But the best Zhang Gong Zui costs money.
Wu Dao was in a good mood and ordered a pot of the best Zhang Gong Zui.
The next day, Wu Dao got up early and read for a while, then suggested going for a walk in the city.
After walking around for a while, they came to a tailor shop that specialized in selling fur products.
Lan Hua and Mrs. Shen were choosing clothes that suited them in the store. They were too picky, so Wu Dao was too lazy to wait for them, so he went to the tea stall next door to sit down and drink hot tea to warm himself up.
As soon as Wu Dao sat down, he heard a few people chatting next to him.
"Look at Le'an. It's only been a few years, and it's become like this."
"Yes, when we came here a few years ago, we brought some tattered clothes with us. Now we have built houses and have land, so we can have a good New Year this year."
"Old Five is really lucky. His son is smart and runs his own business. He can earn several hundred taels of silver this month!"
"This is all thanks to the prince! If it weren't for the prince, we would have starved to death long ago and wouldn't be able to live the life we have now!"
"Isn't it? If you ask me, Your Majesty should make you the crown prince. If you take the throne in the future, the lives of the people will be much better than they are now..."
Wu Dao was so excited when he heard what they were saying that he went over to listen to them.
"Are you all from Le'an Town?"
Wu Dao took the initiative to go over and talk.
"Yep."
Several people nodded, and a tall and thin man asked Wu Dao: "Where are you from, old man?"
As soon as they saw Wu Dao's attire, they knew that he must be a scholar, and they were quite polite to him.
Wu Dao replied with a smile: "I came from Juping."
"Ju Ping?"
The others were slightly stunned, "Ju Ping should also be under the prince's rule, right?"
"Ah."
Wu Dao nodded and smiled, "Wasn't there going to be a war in the interior? I was afraid of being affected by the war, so I planned to move my whole family to Shuobei."
After listening to Wu Dao's words, several people were stunned at the same time, and then burst into laughter.
Wu Dao was puzzled and looked at them in confusion, "Why are you laughing?"
"I say, old man, you are worrying for nothing!" The tall and thin man said with a smile: "How can Juping be affected by the war under the rule of the prince? Don't you know that the prince has never lost a battle? The prince can only attack other people's territory. Who can enter the prince's territory?"
The tall and thin man's words were recognized by several people, and they nodded in agreement.
"Who can say for sure about this war?"
Wu Dao shook his head and smiled. "Your Highness used to fight against foreign tribes, so the Shuobei soldiers were naturally united. But if Your Highness fights against the imperial court, wouldn't that be treason? The imperial court has not lost the support of the people, so if Your Highness rashly raises an unjust army, it may not be possible..."
"fart!"
Before Wu Dao could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone, "What do you mean by treason? Your Highness is clearing the court of evildoers! The villains in the court are causing trouble, and Your Highness is raising an army to defend the king. That is the army of justice!"
"That's right!" another person echoed, "I said, you old man look like a scholar, how come you don't even understand this?"
Wu Dao shook his head slightly: "This so-called clearing of the court is just a name, isn't it? It's just for the sake of having a legitimate reason..."
"What a mess!"
Others snorted coldly: "I say, old man, you are obviously under the rule of the prince, why are you still so ungrateful? Have you become stupid because of reading too much?"
"You can't say that." Wu Dao said calmly: "Whether the prince is plotting a rebellion or trying to purge the emperor, as long as he raises an army, the people inside the pass will suffer. How many people will be displaced and their families destroyed if the war breaks out?"
Wu Dao is a great scholar after all, and his upbringing is quite good. He wouldn't argue with these rough guys.
Whether he has become stupid from reading too much, he just needs to know it himself.
"Pooh!"
The tall and thin man cursed, "Someone wants to harm the prince, but the prince still stretches out his neck for people to chop off? If the court doesn't want the people to be displaced and their families to be destroyed, why doesn't it just let the prince be the crown prince? In this Daqian Dynasty, who can compare with the prince in terms of merit?"
Wu Dao: "The merit is the merit, but if the prince makes the people in the pass suffer, no matter how great the merit is, it can't cover up the crime!"
"Fuck your grandma's crime!"
The tall and thin man pointed at Wu Dao's nose and cursed: "You old man, I think you are a spy sent by the court to deliberately ruin the prince's reputation!"
Wu Dao was a little unhappy about being scolded, but he didn't get angry. "We are just discussing casually. If you have different opinions, you can refute me, don't scold me."
"curse?"
The tall and thin man snorted coldly: "Not only will I scold you, I will also arrest you and report you to the police!"
As he said this, the tall and thin man was about to take action.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Dao stood up and wanted to leave.
However, these people would never give him a chance.
Several people rushed forward and surrounded Wu Dao.
Wu Dao frowned, "I say, you better not do it! Although I am old, I also learned some martial arts when I was young, so it is no problem for me to deal with you guys."
Several people ignored Wu Dao's warning and reached out to grab Wu Dao.
Wu Dao pulled and blocked, and then threw a man away.
Seeing that Wu Daozhen had some skills, several people rushed over.
Wu Dao had really practiced martial arts, so he was able to handle it with ease even when facing a siege from several people.
"Catch the spy!"
"Catch the spy!"
"This man is a spy, and he wants to harm the prince!"
Seeing that they were unable to defeat Wu Dao, they immediately started shouting loudly.
When they shouted, more people gathered around.
Although Wu Dao knew some martial arts, he could not withstand their outnumbered numbers. In the chaos, Wu Dao was hit by several punches and his nose was bleeding.
The noise here alarmed Lan Hua and the others.
They originally wanted to watch the fun, but when they looked carefully they found that the person being beaten was Wu Dao.
Lan Hua ran into the crowd in panic, and Mrs. Wu shouted anxiously.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting..."
"Help!"
"Someone is coming!"
