Chapter 778 Fortune Teller
Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment and then said, "Jian Fengyu, give them some silver first, don't let them leave. I'll go down and check."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Sheng Lan accepted the order and left.
Wang Wenzhou hugged Gao Guiying and kissed her, then said with a smile, "Sister, you really have the demeanor of a great general, remaining calm in the face of danger. You are truly a role model for us to learn from."
Gao Guiying rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou. "You rascal, you've gotten drunk again!"
"You! What are you still doing here?" Wang Wenzhou pointed at Kong Nianhui and said irritably, "I don't like you today, so don't hang around in front of me and get lost!"
Gao Guiying looked at Kong Nianhui and said softly, "Kong Nianhui, don't be angry. Boxin is drunk again. Hurry up and get dressed, then go play with some other girls."
"Okay!" Kong Nianhui wiped away her tears with a wronged expression and nodded gently.
With the help of the babies, Wang Wenzhou got dressed and got off the carriage with the babies in his arms.
Wang Wenzhou was overjoyed when he got out of the carriage. He saw the sedan chair carriers' guards, armed, surrounding the beggars who were blocking the road. The beggars, trembling with fear, covered their heads and squatted on the ground.
Wang Wenzhou asked, "What's Jian Fengyu up to? I told them not to leave, but I didn't ask you to scare them!"
"Your Highness, they tried to run away after taking the silver, so I ordered them to be brought under control!" Sheng Lan rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou. "You rascal, are you drunk again?"
"My lord, spare my life!"
"We are not robbers!"
"Please, sir, have mercy and let us go!"
Seeing Wang Wenzhou get out of the car, the beggars realized that he was in charge and began to beg for mercy from him.
Wang Wenzhou walked over with the baby in his arms, laughing and scolding, "Those who rob people on the road are either government soldiers or bandits. You don't look like government soldiers at all!"
An elderly man in a tattered robe said with a wry smile, "Sir, please spare our lives! We are really not robbers. We only came up with this idea because we were desperate! We didn't intend to rob or kill you, we just wanted some food!"
Wang Wenzhou found a rock to sit on, beckoned to the man, and said, "Come here, let's talk."
The old man quickly walked over to Wang Wenzhou and squatted down, looking at Wang Wenzhou pitifully.
Wang Wenzhou patted his thigh, and Da Yu'er and Wen Liandie sat on his lap on either side. Gao Guiying stood to the side, her eyes fixed on the old man, afraid that he might have ulterior motives.
Wang Wenzhou asked, "What's your name?"
"I am Du Wenhan," Du Wenhan replied.
Wang Wenzhou frowned and asked in confusion, "Old Du, judging from your voice, you're an educated man. How could you be treated like a beggar and driven out of the capital?"
Du Wenhan said with a wry smile, "I am originally from the capital. In my younger days, I was addicted to gambling and lost all my family fortune. Later, I made a living by telling fortunes on the street. Who knew that disaster would strike me like this!"
"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou burst out laughing; it was indeed quite funny.
"So you're a fortune teller! Come on, tell my fortune!" Wang Wenzhou said.
"Hmm!" Du Wenhan nodded, stroked his beard, and carefully examined Wang Wenzhou.
After examining him for a moment, Du Wenhan said, "My lord, I don't know if I should speak or not!"
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Speak up, if you're right, I'll reward you handsomely!"
"Your Highness has a full forehead and a square jaw, you will live a life of luxury, with a bright future and a smooth official career!" Du Wenhan said while observing Wang Wenzhou's expression.
Wang Wenzhou hugged Da Yu'er and kissed her, saying with a smile, "Baby, his predictions were pretty accurate!"
"Yes!" Da Yu'er nodded and said softly, "It's really accurate!"
“But…” Du Wenhan stroked his beard, drawing out the words.
Wang Wenzhou laughed and scolded, "Just what? Tell me quickly!"
Du Wenhan said in a serious tone, "It's just that your fate is to be plagued by romantic entanglements..."
"You son of a bitch!" Wang Wenzhou pointed at Du Wenhan and cursed, "Someone, slap him! Beat him hard, don't stop until you knock out his teeth!"
Sheng Lan frowned. Damn it, his predictions were incredibly accurate! Why are you doing this?
Although Sheng Lan couldn't understand it, she didn't object since Wang Wenzhou had given the order. Sheng Lan waved her hand, and two sedan chair bearers immediately stepped forward and gave Du Wenhan a good beating.
"Clap clap clap..."
Gao Guiying looked at Wang Wenzhou and complained softly, "Boxin! This gentleman's predictions are so accurate, why are you acting like this? Although you are destined for a calamity, there is still a way to overcome it. The best course of action now is to ask the gentleman for advice on how to overcome it, instead of throwing a tantrum at him!"
"Yes!" Dayuer nodded and agreed, "Husband, what Sister Gao Guiying said makes sense!"
"Yes!" Wen Liandie quickly added, "Husband, make them stop!"
Sheng Lan thought for a moment and realized that she couldn't continue fighting. If she offended the master, and he had ulterior motives when he revealed the solution, then her enemy would be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Sheng Lan quickly said, "Stop!"
The guards of the sedan chair carriers immediately stopped.
"My lord! I haven't finished speaking yet..." Du Wenhan smiled bitterly to himself. This old man in front of him was really a scoundrel! He started hitting him without warning.
Wang Wenzhou said irritably, "Who told you to stop? Keep fighting!"
"Yes!" The two guards dared not disobey and continued smoking.
Sheng Lan quickly approached Wang Wenzhou and whispered, "Your Highness, please calm down! The ladies are right. Although what the gentleman said was harsh, you know that honest advice is hard to swallow..."
"Stop talking!" Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "Fortune tellers are all swindlers. I just wanted to tease him for fun, but I didn't expect this old bastard to actually try to fool me! I'm the granddaddy of swindlers!"
Gao Guiying quickly said, "Boxin! Stop talking. I shouldn't have let you drink. You'll get drunk and act crazy!"
Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment and then said, "Alright, stop fighting!"
"Come here!" Wang Wenzhou beckoned to Du Wenhan and said sternly, "Old man, listen to me carefully. I'll ask you a question, and you answer it. If you dare to lie, I'll chop off one of your fingers for every lie! Understand?"
"Yes, yes!" Du Wenhan nodded quickly.
Wang Wenzhou asked, "You really know how to tell fortunes?"
"Yes, I would!" Du Wenhan said without any room for doubt. "My lord, ladies, I've been setting up a fortune-telling stall on the streets of the capital for at least eight or ten years now. I make a living this way, why would I lie to anyone?"
"Alright!" Wang Wenzhou nodded and said, "Someone, cut off one of his fingers!"
"My lord, I didn't lie!" Du Wenhan was on the verge of tears. Why was he so unlucky today, running into such an unreasonable person!
"Boxin, stop fooling around!" Gao Guiying quickly advised.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Wang Wenzhou urged.
"Yes!" The guard dared not disobey Wang Wenzhou's order, so he quickly stepped forward, drew his sword, and chopped off one of Du Wenhan's fingers.
"Ah!" Du Wenhan cried out in pain, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Wang Wenzhou asked, "Let me ask you again, did you calculate that you would die today?"
"My lord, spare my life!" Du Wenhan was terrified. The man in front of him was completely drunk and unreasonable!
