Volume 1: Rectifying the Chaogang Chapter 26: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

While several people were chatting, they suddenly heard someone making noises downstairs. The old bustard gritted his teeth and cursed: "Why are these people who have killed a thousand swords come again? They are really haunted! Master, we will talk in detail later. Regarding this matter, I will go downstairs to deal with these 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're here 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 for?" The old bustard trotted down the stairs 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 free and happy with her at this moment, so she became more courageous. It happened to make Zhu Youtang and the others opened their eyes. Fengmingyuan was not someone who could be easily bullied, and asked him to 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? Don't make things difficult for us. We are doing 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 her. The implication of the words was also telling Wu Ying, I have an uncle of the country, nobles from the imperial court and others protecting me, you can't touch me Try to be more sensible and 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 was saying. She knew that Fengmingyuan had a tough background and that she might have no hope of redeeming herself. But when the Madam talked about her background, Zhu Youtang looked nonchalant, as if he didn't care about these noble people of the imperial court at all. Putting it into perspective, 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 imperial 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 all over the world. How many people who claimed to be real men went to prison and cried for their grandfather to sue their grandmother. But Zhang Heling is currently in prison. In my own place, Liu Ji, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has recently joined the new team. The old madam still had to bite the bullet and said: "Fengmingyuan will not hand it over, you figure out what to do!"

Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei on the side have long been furious. Normally, anyone who comes out here would be frightened. Now it is a newly formed yamen jointly run by two companies. How can this old slave woman be so disrespectful? Why don't we give her some points today? Take a look at it, how can Dongchang and Jinyiwei still hang out after the news spreads!

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 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 things. The guests and prostitutes upstairs also screamed in surprise.

What kind of shitty place dares to challenge Jinyiwei and Dongchang? I don’t think you have two big mouths. I don’t think you know how awesome Jinyiwei is! In order to defend their territory, the guys from Fengmingyuan actually started fighting with Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei. They started to attack, but these stupid young men were no match for the Jin Yiwei. They were easily subdued with three strikes, five divided by two, and their heads were put with iron chains.

"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, and saw a man wearing white clothes, with a jade belt hanging from his waist, and holding a fine sandalwood fan in his hand, 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 and then talk."

Seeing that his big benefactor and shareholder, Zhang Heling, Boss Zhang finally showed up, the madam breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went up to him crying: "Sir, they are so unreasonable!"

The old bustard originally thought that Zhang Heling was going to make the decision for him, but he was slapped hard by the latter and scolded him: "You little bitch, this is how I teach you how to treat guests, get out of here!"

After the slap, everyone was dumbfounded and didn't understand which song Zhang Heling was singing. Zhang Heling's gloomy face instantly turned into a smile, and he walked towards Wu Ying with a smile.

Zhang Heling and Wu Ying had seen each other before. He was the eldest son of the current emperor, 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, and was about to step forward. The salute 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, Mr. Wu!" Zhang Heling's words were very sarcastic, and 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 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 burst out laughing a few times: "What Governor Wu said is really interesting. If you break something, you have to pay for it! Fortunately, it's just a matter of money today. Let's make it clear that it will be bad if someone is killed 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? She 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 this statement came out, everyone was shocked, and many people began to talk: "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 behavior just now.

"You run this Fengmingyuan? What should you ask me to do? Think clearly before answering. Looking at Zhang Heling who was kneeling on the ground, Zhu Youtang asked coldly.

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 in 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 ask questions about 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 in a hurry, 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 the moment they escaped, they had a happy reunion. The efficiency of the Jinyiwei was still very high, and the Fengming Courtyard of Nuo University had been cleared out a minute later.

Wu Ying knew that this kind of thing had to be said in private, so that it would not look good in front of everyone, so she ordered everyone: "You guys 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 leaving, Zhang Heling began to plead.

"Pah!" Zhu Youtang threw Zhang Heling's big mouth at him and said 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: "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 knew that if he had to admit this kind of thing, it would be the end of the game! So he shook his head and defended: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty knows clearly, 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.

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.

"I'm going to spare your life today for the sake of your sister, remember! If something like this comes 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's face was numb. At this moment, she finally understood that the person in front of her was actually the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. When she saw Zhu Youtang turning to look at her, she 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 an ox or a horse to serve your majesty!"

"Be a horse?" Zhu Youtang's eyes lit up. To be honest, he didn't want such a great beauty to go back. So he said with a smile: "Well, then you can enter the palace and stay with me!"

"A daughter of the common people thanks His Majesty for His grace"
