Unmatched Soldier King - C100 Expensive Dowry
C100 Expensive Dowry
Cao KaiTai continued to enter North Chamber in the midst of his shock. A very bad feeling faintly filled his heart.
Just as Cao KaiTai had expected, he quickly discovered that Luo Jingyi’s body had already been sliced into eight, no, sixteen, no … Cao Kaitai couldn’t even count the number of pieces.
In the evening, Liu Jinglei brought along people from the Ministry of Penalty and surrounded Luo Jingyi’s residence in three layers.
Perhaps it was because of the large number of people, but when Liu Jinglei sent his men to search the entire mansion, the entire manor collapsed with a loud rumble.
Liu Jinglei widened his bell-like eyes as he looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
They were all fragments, fragments of laws that were so perverse.
Liu Jinglei felt a huge threat as he narrowed his eyes. Even if Luo Jingyi had failed due to greed and committed some evil deeds, he was still an official of the imperial government after all. Killing an official of the imperial government was a capital offense in the first place, but he had actually destroyed the entire courtyard with such a terrifying method.
The person who could use this method was neither a mage nor a warrior. He could only be a Charm Magician.
Furthermore, Talisman Seal had reached such destructive power, they were at least a Sixth Level Symbol Master.
There was a Symbol Master for Sixth Level in the capital, and he had even publicly killed a government official with an unknown purpose. This was a huge challenge to the Ministry of Penalty.
More importantly, was whether or not this talisman craftsman would pose a threat to the Imperial Palace and the safety of the Emperor.
Liu Jinglei knew very well that mages and warriors of the same rank were no match for a Charm Magician in a one-on-one fight. Whether it was a single kill or a group attack, a close combat or a long ranged attack, as long as the Symbol Master didn’t lose his dexterous hands, it would continuously cause huge threats and damage to the Mages and Warriors.
After thinking about it for a short period of time, Liu Jinglei decided that it was imperative for him to report this shocking and terrifying case to Military Court at the same time.
It was noon when Ye Tian woke up. He stretched, then snorted comfortably.
He was enjoying the days when he didn’t have to attend the morning assembly. It was just like in his previous life, when he didn’t have to take the first period of classes in university.
After getting out of bed and washing up, Ye Tian came to the kitchen to see if Mei Rou and the others had left any breakfast for him. At this moment, the faint sound of firecrackers could be heard coming from outside the door.
Is today a good day? Someone getting married?
As Ye Tian pondered, he heard Hong Sheng shouting outside Jingann Courtyard door: “Your Excellency Head, there’s someone looking for you outside the door, there’s quite a few people.”
Ye Tian widened his eyes and walked out of the kitchen. He opened the Jingann Courtyard door and looked at Hong Sheng outside. He asked: “Who are you looking for?”
Hong Sheng shook his head, and said: “The array is not small, several tens of large horses carry a huge object, I don’t know what it is, on the way there, they kept firecrackers. They came to the Jade Lake West Garden entrance, and said they were looking for you.”
Ye Tian waved his hand and walked towards the door with Hong Sheng.
Jade Lake West Garden s many layers, and within the huge courtyard, sat one courtyard after another. Jingann Courtyard s and Fallen Flower Courtyard s were just two of them, and between the courtyard, there were also garden paths that connected to each other.
At this time, Ye Tian and Hong Sheng walked along the garden path and arrived at the Jade Lake West Garden entrance. Looking at the large group of people gathered outside, Ye Tian walked forward with a bit of guilt and asked the leading old man: “Are you looking for me?”
Hearing Ye Tian’s words, the old man in the lead hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “Your Excellency Ye, my name is Ouyang Qingshan, I am the steward and Grand Master of the capital’s Ouyang Aristocratic Family.”
As he spoke to here, Ouyang Qingshan pointed to a skinny old man beside him. He introduced him to Ye Tian and said, “This is the Patriarch of our Ouyang Aristocratic Family. His name is Ouyang Jue.”
He thought back carefully and was shocked. This Ouyang was no other than the old man who took out two million and five hundred thousand gold to compete with Chu Yu for the Silver Dragon the other day.
Ye Tian clasped his hands and made a “please” gesture to invite everyone in. He didn’t want them to continue standing outside the door.
Only then did Ye Tian see that there were at least thirty big horses pulling a huge wooden board together. On the board, there was a huge thing. Because it was covered by a canvas, it was hard to tell what it was.
After entering the Jade Lake West Garden, Ye Tian led Ouyang Jue and Ouyang Qingshan to the main hall of the front courtyard. After taking his seat, Ye Tian asked, “I wonder what is the purpose of your visit today?”
At this moment, Mei Rou and Bi Ling had long since heard the commotion in the front yard. They came to the front yard to see if there were any guests. They prepared some snacks and tea and set them on Ouyang Jue and Ouyang Qingshan’s tables.
Ouyang Jue observed Mei Rou and Bi Ling and sighed. Your Excellency Ye’s maidservants were so stunning, Ruochen couldn’t even compare to them. How could he capture Your Excellency Ye’s heart so easily?
Hearing Ye Tian’s words, Ouyang Qingshan was the first to open his mouth, “Your Excellency Ye, perhaps you might not know us two little old men, but the grandson and daughter of the Patriarch, you must know Ouyang Ruochen.”
Hearing Ouyang Ruochen’s name, Ye Tian’s mouth gaped open. He quickly stood up and greeted Ouyang Jue and Ouyang Qingshan with a bow, then said to Ouyang Jue, “So it’s Ruochen’s grandfather. How rude. “Patriarch, please forgive me.”
Seeing Ye Tian be so courteous and humble, Ouyang Jue was shocked. He quickly stood up and said, “Your Excellency Ye can’t be like this, it’s a coincidence that you’re just a commoner. If Your Excellency Ye wants to kill me, I’ll kill him too.”
Ye Tian smiled and helped Ouyang Jue back to his seat, saying, “Ruochen is now the shopkeeper of Royal Cars and Horses Shop, she can be considered my direct subordinate. To a certain extent, we will be family from now on, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Ouyang Jue nodded his head in agreement, thinking to himself, “Ruochen really is a lucky child. With Manager Ye’s modest personality, I believe Ruochen will not suffer any grievances if she enters the Ye Family’s residence.”
Ye Tian returned to his seat and looked inquiringly at Ouyang Jue and Ouyang Qingshan. He said, “I still don’t know the purpose of your visit today.”
Ouyang Qingshan chuckled and glanced at Ouyang Jue. Then he said to Ye Tian, “The two of us are here today to propose marriage to that kid Ruochen.”
Ye Tian glared: “Propose marriage?”
Soon, Ye Tian recalled that Ouyang Ruochen once wanted him to agree to marry her. This was before he had completely agreed to it, so why was it that his family members came to propose so quickly?
Ye Tian wanted to explain himself, but when he saw the fervent gazes of Ouyang Jue and Ouyang Qingshan, he was unable to say the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Ye Tian was a softhearted person in essence. He would rather eat something soft than something hard. The other side was asking for it in a soft tone, and he wasn’t willing to give up no matter what.
With just this moment of hesitation, Ouyang Jue had already confirmed that Ye Tian had tacitly agreed to the marriage.
After a moment of silence, Ouyang Jue said, “I know that Your Excellency Ye is the Emperor’s consort. Even if Ruochen is in favor with an adult, she wouldn’t dare to be ahead of Her Royal Highness. This time, we are only here to propose marriage and get engaged. When Your Excellency Ye becomes Prince Consort, then we can arrange for Ruochen’s marriage. Even if we don’t have a marriage, we can just let Ruochen enter through this door. ”
Ye Tian stared at her, thinking that if the two of you are capable, Ouyang Ruochen might not be willing.
At this time, Ouyang Qingshan smiled as he spoke, “This time, we came specifically to bring Ruochen’s dowry. The dowry is a bit too big for me to carry around, I hope that Your Excellency Ye doesn’t mind. ”
“A dowry?” Ye Tian stared and thought, there’s no need to be so fast, he hasn’t even finished his eight words, and he’s already brought his dowry.
“Please come with me.” Ouyang Jue pointed outside and said to Ye Tian.
The three of them walked out of the main hall and arrived in front of the large horses in the front yard.
Ouyang Jue shouted, “Take off the cloth!”
Several coachmen walked over to the huge wooden board that was pulled by the horse carriage, stretched out their hands and pulled down the canvas covering the huge object.
The moment the canvas fell, Ye Tian’s eyes widened.
Turning around, Ye Tian looked at Ouyang Jue and said, “Isn’t that the Silver Dragon?”
Ouyang Jue smiled and nodded. “That’s right.”
“Two million and five hundred thousand taels of gold. Is the body of an almost complete Silver Dragon used to make Ruochen’s dowry?” Ye Tian asked with his eyes wide open.
Ouyang Jue laughed as he said, “If Your Excellency Ye thinks that this dowry isn’t enough, then I will take it as my specialty.”
Ye Tian swallowed his saliva, thinking that if the dowry wasn’t enough, then there wouldn’t be enough dowry in this world. Even if the Emperor were to marry his daughter, he wouldn’t be so generous.
Thinking about this, Ye Tian said: “This dowry is too expensive, I don’t dare to accept it.”
As if thinking of Ye Tian’s answer, Ouyang Qingshan, who was beside her, said, “The Ouyang Clan is the number one clan in the capital, and Ruochen is in charge of all the businesses within the clan. Even if she wants to marry someone, our dowry must not be too shabby for the eyes of outsiders.”
Ouyang Jue took over and said solemnly, “Your Excellency Ye, on behalf of the entire Ouyang Aristocratic Family, I ask that you accept Ruochen’s dowry.”
Ye Tian was stunned for a long time. He looked at the corpse of the Silver Dragon and did not say anything for a long time.
After Ouyang Jue and Ouyang Qingshan said their goodbyes, Mei Rou and Bi Ling walked out from the backyard. Looking at Silver Dragon’s corpse, Mei Rou snorted, “Our master will create emotional debt outside, sigh, now there’s another one, I don’t know if our master can handle it.”
