Chapter 730: Mr. Huang comes
"That's him, that's him." Shopkeeper Li rushed up in a hurry, followed by a group of officers and soldiers. He pointed at Bi Yuntao and said, "That's him. He dares to beat our president and Mr. Tao. Everyone here is a witness."
The officers and soldiers behind him couldn't help but come up to capture Bi Yuntao. Xue Ruyue grabbed Bi Yuntao's big hand and said ashamedly: "Brother Tao, it was me who hurt you this time."
"Sister Xue, what are you talking about?" Bi Yuntao smiled, held Xue Ruyue's slightly cold hand, and comforted: "You are not to blame for what happened today. We, husband and wife, are one. You are being bullied outside, how can I, a husband, still sit still?"
Xue Ruyue was greatly moved. Although Bi Yuntao was a bit lustful, he really had nothing to say about himself.
"If they want to arrest you and put you in jail, I will go with you." Xue Ruyue said firmly.
"Okay, we, husband and wife, will face it together." Bi Yuntao smiled back and faced the officers and soldiers with her in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
At this time, I heard someone shouting loudly outside the door: "Master Huang Wenyu, the cabinet scholar and the secretary of the household department, and the left minister of the household department, Mengruo Langmeng, have arrived..."
The merchants present in Jiangsu and Zhejiang instantly became excited. These days, business status is low and contacts with official circles are extremely limited. Now Huang Wenyu, a cabinet scholar and the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, has come in person. Not only that, but the left minister of the Ministry of Finance is the right-hand man of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Now that he has come in person, he has gained face for these businessmen.
President Yu hurriedly got up from the ground, and Tao Pengju, supported by He Yuqing, hurried to the door to greet him.
This old man Huang came at the right time. Bi Yuntao was very satisfied and smiled at Xue Ruyue. At the same time, he was also a little shocked. Meng Ruolang really didn't lie to him and actually worked as an errand in the imperial court.
Xue Ruyue didn't understand the meaning of Bi Yuntao's smile at first, but when she heard Meng Ruolang's name, she immediately understood. She couldn't blame Bi Yuntao for acting so arrogantly. It turned out that he had already known that Meng Ruolang would come here today.
Thinking of this, Xue Ruyue couldn't help but feel a little angry, because his behavior just now was all just for fun.
Mr. Huang was dressed in a bright red official uniform, with a slight smile on his face. There was some majesty hidden in his thin face. He stomped in slowly. Meng Ruolang was half a step away. They were the governor of Qiantang and dozens of officials, big and small.
"See you, Lord Shangshu, see all your lords." President Yu hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"Student Tao Pengju, I have met Mr. Huang and all of you." Tao Pengju also saluted.
"Presidents and colleagues, please excuse me." Mr. Huang nodded and smiled, helping everyone up.
When everyone stood up, Mr. Huang saw the swollen pig-headed faces of Yu Tao and others. He was startled and said, "Two presidents, what's going on?"
President Yu knelt down on the ground with a thump, and exclaimed: "Master Huang, you have to make the decision for me, and for my Chamber of Commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
Tao Pengju gritted his teeth, followed President Yu and knelt down and said, "Please make the decision for the students."
Huang Laoqi said: "What's going on, you two? Please get up and talk. You two are in charge of the chambers of commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and are the leaders of merchants. What's going on?"
Fatty Yu said with runny nose and tears, "Sir, they are all Bi Yuntao, the Xue family's son-in-law."
He pointed his fat and thick finger at Bi Yuntao and said: "Not only did he insult our two chambers of commerce, but he also publicly beat me, Mr. Tao, and many people under my chamber of commerce. It is really humiliating to all the merchants in the world. Please help us two." It’s up to you.”
Bi Yuntao cursed in his heart, "This Fatty Yu is so shameless. I just beat you two, but when you told me, I beat a bunch of people. It's so shameless, even better than me."
Mr. Huang made a sound, glanced at Bi Yuntao, and said in shock to Tao and the others: "What President Yu means is that this little brother alone beat you, Mr. Tao, and many people in your chamber of commerce?"
President Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Exactly, please make the decision for us."
Huang Lao said: "Don't be anxious. I will ask the matter clearly and I will definitely make a fair decision. What President Yu means is that this Bi Yuntao beat President Yu, Mr. Tao and many others. That's him alone." The group beat you all up, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." President Yu shouted hurriedly: "All the brothers present in the association can testify."
"One person assaults many people?" Mr. Huang asked in surprise. He glanced around, and wherever his eyes passed, the eyes of everyone present were frequently dodges. Seeing this, they already knew it in their hearts.
Huang Lao smiled and said to Meng Ruolang behind him: "I am a weak scholar, and I am very unfamiliar with fighting. Master Meng, you have been learning martial arts since you were a child. In your opinion, this group of people beat many people. With this person Brother Bi, how confident are you?"
"Back to you, sir." Meng Ruolang bowed and said, "Based on my many years of experience in martial arts, this little brother Bi is not very good at martial arts. There are so many people present, even though they are all ordinary traders, but if they rely on their own strength alone, , If I want to beat up all the people present, unless the Daluo Immortal descends to earth, I have no other choice."
"According to what Master Meng said, Yu Tao and I are lying about this matter and trying to deceive you?" Huang Lao's eyes narrowed and he stared at Yu Tao and Yu Tao coldly.
Fatty Yu and Tao Pengju were immediately frightened to death and quickly knelt down to defend themselves. But he never thought that Mr. Huang didn't take them seriously at all, and walked directly around the two of them and came to Bi Yuntao and Xue Ruyue.
Mr. Huang walked around Xue Ruyue and looked at her carefully. Xue Ruyue was so frightened that she couldn't help but shrink back behind Bi Yuntao, feeling a little relieved.
"Resembling, resembling, really resembling." Mr. Huang sighed while stroking his beard.
Xue Ruyue glanced at Mr. Huang in confusion, wondering why he said this.
"You must be the eldest lady of the Xue family." Huang Lao said. This seems to be a question, but also seems to be an affirmation. I don't know whether I heard it with Xue Ruyue, or if I heard it with myself.
"My little girl Xue Ruyue, I have met Mr. Huang." Xue Ruyue bowed.
"Miss Ruyue, has your mother, Miss Xu, been doing well these past few years?"
Xue Ruyue was stunned for a moment. Master Huang called his mother Miss Xu and seemed to recognize her. But where did he mention this? She had never heard her mother tell her about an old friend named Huang.
Bi Yuntao knew something about it. Seeing that Xue Ruyue was in a daze, he gently touched her sleeve. Xue Ruyue was startled and hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Everything is well, mother. Thank you for your concern."
