Zuihuafang in West City is just across the street from Xiao Rui's new restaurant, so Feng Yandao has recently been stationed here. Food, wine, and beauties are all here. When you don't have to wait on the princess, this place is paradise.
"Sir, the courtesan we have been serving has been here for more than a year, and many customers are tired of it. But the new courtean is one year younger, has not learned all the poems, lyrics, and songs, and is a bit inexperienced. He looks at us in the drunken flower shop. Business has started to go downhill..." the restaurant steward reported in a low voice.
The beauty in Feng Yandao's arms was distracted, knocked over the wine glass, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to admit her mistake.
Feng Yandao lifted the other person's chin and comforted him: "Beauty, don't be afraid. I can't bear to let you go out to pick up customers right now, but our restaurant still has to open and we can't make money. How can I support you? Let's do this. I’ll let you stay with me for three more days, and after three days, you will be the new oiran.”
After saying that, he gave the person in charge a wink, and the other person stepped back knowingly. There was a faint sound coming from upstairs, and he didn't know whether it was a painful wailing or a feeble struggle.
"Hey, this official is here wearing an official robe. Is he here to drink and have fun? Or is he here to pay homage to my young master?" The doorman looked at Xiao Rui, who was wearing a sixth-grade official robe, and asked with ridicule.
Xiao Rui took a look and asked, "Is Mr. Feng here? I'm here to visit."
"My young master is busy with business upstairs. If you want to visit, please leave your name and wait for him when he has free time..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Rui slapped him and said, "Okay, it's good that he's here. It's not a waste of time."
"What are you doing? Dare you come to our Drunken Flower House to act wild? You don't want to..."
Click! The boy pointed at Xiao Rui's broken arm and immediately lay on the ground and started wailing.
"Come here, someone is here to cause trouble..."
Soon, Xiao Rui was surrounded by a dozen strong thugs.
The steward came out, looked at Xiao Rui, and sneered: "A mere sixth-grade official? How dare he come here to act wild? Break his limbs and throw them out. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, killing an official is a capital crime. He is wearing a robe, so he can breathe. .”
At this moment, a sharp shout came from the door, and several eighth-level officials filed in and stood together with Xiao Rui, "You are so presumptuous that you dare to touch my sixth-level imperial censor? Do you know who he is?" ?"
"Hey, Yushitai? I remembered it. Did you Yushitai participate in the performance of my master and young master at the court meeting a few days ago? We didn't ask you to settle accounts, but you came to our door. Okay, let me beat you out together. !" The manager was extremely arrogant.
Xiao Rui frowned: "Didn't I tell you to stay as a housekeeper? If you come here and get in the way, stand aside and don't get hurt."
After saying that, he took the lead to take action, using the fierce and unforged Bajiquan. All the thugs who got close to him, without exception, had their hands or legs broken. In just a few breaths, they were all knocked to the ground.
But I was stunned by the restaurant steward and all his colleagues at the Yushitai.
The eighth-rank Xu Yushi couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Xiao Yushi comes from a scholarly family, why do you feel like a military general?"
While he was talking, Xiao Rui had already grabbed the steward's neck, "Let's go, take me to Feng Yandao. If you dare to play tricks, I will strangle you to death immediately."
The steward was speechless and could only point upstairs.
Xiao Rui turned back to a group of dazed subordinates and said: "Don't be dazed. Call all the women in the building and interrogate them about their origins. I want to know how many of them have been poisoned."
"Got the order!" Everyone came to their senses and followed the military etiquette to receive the order, feeling a sense of joy and admiration.
Boom!
When he kicked the door open, Feng Yandao was working hard. This time he immediately asked him to hand over his gun. He fell on the bed as soft as a dead pig and shouted angrily at the door: "Who is it? Don't you have eyes?"
Xiao Rui casually threw away the manager, glanced at the scene, and said with disgust: "Are you just Feng Yandao? You are so good and fun-loving, and you are the only one who bullies men and dominates women? If I were you, I will never come out and embarrass myself.”
"Who are you? Bastard, someone is coming, someone is coming, there is an assassin!"
With a click, Xiao Rui broke both of the opponent's legs, causing Feng Yan to cry out in pain like he was killing a pig.
"You, put on your clothes and go downstairs to register. As for Feng Yandao, haha, you don't need to wear clothes. It's good to be naked like this, so that the people of Chang'an can appreciate it."
In the lobby on the first floor of Zuihuafang, everyone at the Yushitai was interrogating and registering one by one. They moved very quickly. They were indeed a group of officials.
When Feng Yandao was left naked in the field, everyone was stunned. This scene was too eye-catching.
"Sir, this is the list of victims we have initially interrogated. Most of them were deceived and tricked by Feng Yandao. Some of them even had a vengeance against him. They dared to be angry but dare not speak out. There is no way to take revenge. They can only Live with humiliation."
Xiao Rui looked at the record list carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and his fists clenched loudly.
"Come here, drag the guy in charge over here. He's such a loser. He must know more, right?"
The person in charge was taken over and begged for mercy like a dead dog. Xiao Rui was not polite, "You answer whatever I ask."
"Besides Zuihuafang, does Feng Yandao have other industries that sell stolen goods?"
"I-I don't...ah!"
With just a word of "no", Xiao Rui stepped on the steward's leg and said, "You kill people without blinking an eye, don't waste my patience."
The pain in charge was heartbreaking, and even the people at Yushitai couldn't bear it. Was it too cruel?
However, the effect was immediate. The manager in charge poured out everything he knew so quickly that Xu Yushi's writing pen almost failed to keep up.
Xiao Rui grabbed Feng Yandao and threw him out of the gate of Zuihuafang, and threw him naked on the street. People gathered around him.
"There are all the witnesses and physical evidence. This person can be said to have committed a heinous crime, and it will be impossible to atone for his crime even if he dies. Today, I, Xiao Rui, will come to take my place..."
"Sir, that's enough. You can't really kill people, otherwise you will be accused of setting up a private court." The chief clerk persuaded.
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes and reprimanded: "Nonsense, can I know the law and break the law? If you come, please immediately inform the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple and ask them to send officials to participate in the trial and convict the censor." Taiwan, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple, our three departments will jointly conduct a trial, doesn’t it count as a private court?”
What? ? ? This, what kind of three-judge trial is this? The joint trial of the three departments depends on His Majesty's will, not just two people...
But due to helplessness and not knowing what the Shangguan was up to, the chief secretary sent someone anyway. However, no one was invited. Who from the Ministry of Punishment or the Yamen of Dali Temple would pay attention to the request from a seventh- or eighth-rank junior official? There was no assistance in checking the official documents.
Xiao Rui smiled, he had known it would be like this. I saw it through in the court a few days ago. Do you think it will be fine just by pretending not to know?
