While a few people were talking, they suddenly heard someone making noises downstairs. The old bustard gritted his teeth and cursed: "Why are these people who have killed thousands of swords here again? They are really haunted! Master, let's talk in detail later." For this matter, I’ll go downstairs and deal with this bunch of bullshit plasters first.”
Mou Bin glanced downstairs and immediately knew who these people were, and quickly reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's Wu Ying and the others who are here."
"Oh? You've come just in time. Let's take a look at how Governor Wu collects taxes.
I saw Wu Ying, the governor of the new Yamen, leading a group of Dongchang fans and Jinyiwei people to surround Fengmingyuan. A Dongchang fan shouted at the top of his voice: "Where is the shopkeeper? Come out quickly! The Yamen is ordered to collect taxes!" "
"Here he comes...here he comes, what are you shouting about? The old bustard trotted down from upstairs complaining.
Wu Ying said coldly: "The imperial court has ordered that large-scale entertainment facilities like yours must pay 20%. I advise you to pay the tax obediently, so as not to ask for trouble."
The Madam saw that Wu Ying came to pick up many times more people this time than last time, and knew that this time it would not end well. However, Jin insisted that He Ling should be relaxed and happy with her at this moment, so she became more courageous. It also opened the eyes of Zhu Youtang and others. Fengmingyuan was not someone who could be easily bullied, so he should give up the idea of redeeming Su Yin as soon as possible.
The old bustard smiled apologetically and said: "Look, Master, didn't we agree last time that you will be exempted from taking the money from Fengmingyuan? Please don't embarrass us. We are a small business here, and we have to pay for it every month." . If you insist on taking it, you can only deduct your share from above. If the blame comes from above, it will be difficult for everyone to explain!"
The madam spoke loudly, almost at the top of her voice, just to let Zhang Heling, Zhu Youtang and others hear. The implication of the words is also telling Wu Ying, I am protected by my uncle, the nobles of the court and others. If you try to understand me, get out of here! "
Zhu Youtang heard clearly from upstairs and snorted coldly: "What a tough-tongued slave, is such a big real estate still a small business?"
Su Yin also heard what the madam said and knew that Fengmingyuan had a tough background and that she might have no hope of redeeming herself. But when the Madam talked about her backstage, Zhu Youtang looked nonchalant, as if he didn't pay attention to the nobles of the imperial court at all. This made Su Yin wonder who Zhu Youtang was?
Wu Ying said coldly: "I don't care who is above you, this is the will of the court, no one dares to violate it. If you continue to delay like this, don't blame me for being rude!"
Hearing what Wu Ying said, the madam was a little scared. After all, the evil reputations of Jinyiwei and Dongchang were still resounding throughout the world. How many people who claimed to be real men went to jail without crying and asking their grandfather to sue their grandmother. But Zhang Heling is currently in his own place, and Liu Ji, the chief minister of the cabinet, has recently joined the new team. The madam still bites the bullet and says: "Fengmingyuan will not hand it over. You see what to do!"
Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei on the side have long been furious. Usually anyone who comes out here would be frightened. Now it is a newly formed yamen jointly run by two companies. This old slave woman is so disrespectful? If she didn't give her a look today, how could Dongchang and Jinyiwei still hang out after word got out!
Upon seeing this, Wu Ying knew that it would be impossible without resorting to some means, and immediately ordered: "Everyone, listen up, take everyone here away, smash the things, and put seals on them!"
Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei were already holding back a breath of bad breath. After hearing this, they became energetic and acted quickly. They rushed around and started smashing. The guests and prostitutes upstairs also screamed in surprise.
What kind of lousy place dares to challenge Jin Yiwei and Dongchang? If I don't dump you two big mouths, I think you don't know how awesome Jin Yiwei is! In order to defend their territory, the guys from Fengmingyuan actually started fighting against Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei. However, these stupid young men were no match for Jinyiwei. They were easily subdued with just three strikes, and their heads were covered with iron. chain.
"Okay, if you dare to attack us, you will be punished with an additional penalty!"
Seeing that he could not be beaten again and again, and could not be stopped again and again, the old bustard no longer had the arrogance he had just now, and began to cry like Wu Ying, begging for mercy.
"Governor Wu is so impressive! These are all belongings. How come they were thrown away after a disagreement?" A man's voice came down from upstairs.
Zhu Youtang, who was watching a play, heard the sound and looked over. He saw a man wearing white clothes with a jade belt hanging from his waist and holding a fine sandalwood fan slowly walking down from the second floor.
Mou Bin immediately said: "Your Majesty, this person is Zhang Heling, the emperor's younger brother."
Zhu Youtang nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, let's take a look before talking."
When the old bustard saw that his big benefactor and shareholder, Zhang Heling, Boss Zhang finally showed up, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went up to him crying: "Sir, they are so unreasonable!"
The madam originally thought that Zhang Heling was going to make the decision for him, but unexpectedly, the latter slapped him hard and cursed: "Fuck slave, this is the way I teach you to treat guests, get out of here!"
After this slap, everyone was dumbfounded and didn't understand what Zhang Heling was singing. Zhang Heling's gloomy expression suddenly turned into a smile, and he walked towards Wu Ying with a smile.
Zhang Heling and Wu Ying had met him before. He was the eldest son of the current king, the younger brother of the empress, and the emperor's brother-in-law. Wu Ying did not dare to be careless and quickly stopped Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi who were smashing things. She was about to step forward to salute but was interrupted by Zhang Heling's hand.
"Governor Wu is so impressive. How dare I ask you to salute? This junior must have met Governor Wu and Mr. Wu!" Zhang Heling's words were very sarcastic. Wu Ying couldn't say anything, so she had to quickly return the salute: "I don't dare. Don’t dare.”
Zhang Heling said coldly: "The old lady of Fengmingyuan didn't give Governor Wu face. I've already beaten her to make her remember it. But you have to give me an explanation for smashing things here, right?"
Wu Ying smiled bitterly and said: "I am just following the orders. I hope you will be considerate and don't embarrass us."
Zhang Heling laughed loudly: "What Governor Wu said is really interesting. You have to pay for breaking things! Fortunately, it's just a matter of money today. Let's make it clear that it will be bad if someone loses his life in the future!"
Wu Ying knew that she was in trouble, so she couldn't just kidnap the emperor's brother-in-law and take him to prison, right? I felt embarrassed for a moment and was speechless.
At this time, Zhu Youtang shouted: "Calculate how much it will cost, I paid it for Governor Wu!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and many people started talking: "Who is this? Do you dare to take care of this kind of thing?"
"Don't look at how tough you are now. Once you enter the prison, you will become soft within a few days!"
Zhang Heling's face twitched, and he turned around and was about to scold: "Which...sister...your majesty."
When Wu Ying saw Zhu Youtang, she was so surprised that she was speechless. Why did the emperor come to visit the brothel?
Zhu Youtang led Mou Bin, Li Guang, Su Yin and others slowly downstairs.
When everyone saw this, they quickly knelt down. Zhang Heling was even scared to death. Zhu Youtang must have seen his domineering look just now.
"You run this Fengming Courtyard? Think clearly about what you should ask me to do before answering. Looking at Zhang Heling and Zhu Youtang who were kneeling on the ground, they asked in a cold voice.
As soon as Zhu Youtang said this, Zhang Heling immediately understood. After all, it was rumored that the emperor's visit to the brothel was offensive, and judging from the strength of the officials and censors of the Ming Dynasty, there would be books flying all over the place when he returned, which was enough to give Zhu Youtang a headache. .
"Back to my lord... This Fengmingyuan was not opened by a villain. This is just my first time here..."
Seeing that his boss Zhang Heling had to kneel down in front of the man in front of him, and seeing Zhang Heling shirk his responsibilities, the madam was already scared to death.
"I'll give you one minute. Fengmingyuan will clear the place immediately. If anyone is still here in one minute, I'll take it from you."
When Wu Ying and Zhang Heling heard this, they immediately stood up and shouted: "Start clearing the place!"
In an instant, Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei began to take action. The regular customers and prostitutes here immediately began to escape hastily, for fear that they would be caught in the legendary prison.
Some of them had not even had time to put on their clothes, and they were happy the moment they escaped. Jinyiwei's efficiency was still very good. One minute later, Fengmingyuan of Nuo University had been cleared.
Wu Ying knew that this kind of thing had to be said in private, and it would not look good in front of everyone, so she ordered everyone: "You can go down first."
When Su Yin saw Zhu Youtang's imposing manner, she had already vaguely guessed who Zhu Youtang was.
"Your Majesty... listen to my explanation." After seeing everyone go out, Zhang Heling began to plead for mercy.
"Pah!" Zhu Youtang threw Zhang Heling's big mouth at him and scolded angrily: "You bastard, have you grown up? If I weren't here today, wouldn't you be paying the Fengmingyuan business tax?"
Zhang Heling immediately kowtowed and said: "Pay... pay, I will order people to pay all the business taxes."
"The riot in the capital a few days ago and the plan to murder Wang Shu on the road yesterday were also your fault, right?" Zhu Youtang said coldly.
Zhang Heling knows that if he admits this kind of thing, then the game is over! So he shook his head and defended: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty knows it well, how dare I have such thoughts? Even if I borrow ten of my courage, I would not dare to go to the capital camp to cause trouble and murder the ministers of the DPRK!"
Zhang Heling's sister was his main queen. Thinking about Queen Zhang's performance in the past few days, Zhu Youtang couldn't bear to kill her brother directly.
"For the sake of your sister, I'm going to spare your life today, remember! If such things come to my ears again in the future, I won't be able to spare you! And Fengmingyuan pays 10% more in taxes. Get out of here. !”
Zhang Heling kowtowed heavily, got up and ran away in a mess.
Su Yin looked numb, and now she finally understood that the person in front of her was actually the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing Zhu Youtang turning his head to look at him, he quickly knelt down and said, "People's daughter Su Yin kowtows to the emperor."
"Forgive me. I just said I would redeem your life. You can go home by yourself. I will send someone to take you back."
Su Yin said softly: "Your Majesty is the king, and the girl has just said that if your majesty can redeem the girl's life, the girl is willing to work as a cow or a horse to serve your majesty!"
"Making a horse?" Zhu Youtang's eyes lit up. To be honest, he didn't want such a beauty to go back. So he said with a smile: "Well, then you can enter the palace and stay by my side!"
"The daughter of the people thanks His Majesty for His grace"
