Chapter Thirty-six Obstacles

Jiaofangsi, separated from Taiyuan University in the east by Ma Junqi Street, and adjacent to the "red light district" of Shazhu Lane in the north, is mainly responsible for court celebrations, welcome performances, and official banquets and entertainment. It is also an official brothel.

Most of the women there are family members of prisoners. They not only have upper-class looks, but also have high quality.

As soon as Jiang Chen entered the hall, he found several beautiful women with good looks and above, smiling and looking at the guests with numb eyes.

And those guests are all well-dressed and glowing people, and they don't look like hosts who can't afford the money.

But they just eat and play for free, and abuse these poor young ladies and beautiful women unscrupulously.

"Oh! How shameless!"

Jiang Chen secretly shook his head.

Just as they were about to ask Mother Wang to lead them in, she called all the stewards here. Wang Wen, who got the news in advance and came over, suddenly laughed loudly:

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, you really went to the Jiaofang Department to be a turtle? Could it be that you want to choose a room in advance and send your wife here?"

"Don't worry! When your wife comes, our brothers will definitely support her and greet her well, hahaha...".br

Wang Bing and Wang Wen, who still had bruises on their faces, laughed wildly at the same time. In their opinion, with Cai Jing's move, it was a certainty that Jiang Chen would be assassinated and exiled.

"As expected, he is a descendant of the Huayang Wang family. He is really well-educated! I admire him!"

Jiang Chen bowed his hands to the table of Wang brothers seriously.

Immediately, all the prostitutes in the hall cast disdainful glances at Wang Wen and the others.

Well--

Wang Wen and Wang Bin's laughter suddenly stopped, and their faces turned ugly.

Cai Sui, the fourth son of Cai Jing who was sitting at the table with them, saw them and said to a young man in the hall with a thin smile:

"Zhang Hongwen, I didn't expect you to have such an articulate brother-in-law. It's really enviable.

With such a turtle brother-in-law, you Zhang family will no longer need to come to Jiaofangsi to drink and find girls, and you won’t even need to keep accounts and make orders, right?"

Um?

Brother-in-law?

Jiang Chen frowned and looked at Zhang Hongwen.

Through his cousin, he already knew that his wife, Liu Yueniang, whose real name was Zhang Yueniang, was the concubine of Zhang Yuying, that her uncle was Zhang Shangying, who would become prime minister for a period of time in the future, and that her cousin was the famous Zhang Shuye in later generations!

As for Zhang Hongwen, he was Zhang Yuying's legitimate second son and Yueniang's second brother. Both the Zhang family's mother-in-law, Sun Shi, treated Yueniang very badly.

So he looked at Zhang Hongwen with a rather unfriendly look.

As for Zhang Hongwen, he was even more disdainful of Jiang Chen. After hearing this, he looked at him sideways and said, "How can a mere turtle man be worthy of being my brother-in-law? Humph! Just wait for the next life!"

As for that broom star, he has been expelled from the Zhang Mansion long ago and has nothing to do with me. Cai Sui, don’t talk nonsense when you are drunk!"

The two exchanged words by name, which was full of gunpowder. Jiang Chen, who was innocently lying at gunpoint, was very unhappy, but his little arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he could only endure it for the time being, and turned his head to Mama Wang beside him and said:

"Go and close the door. Starting today, we will close the business for rectification. We will no longer receive new customers. In addition, ask the deputy chief and all the stewards to come over and bring the account books with them!"

As he spoke, he walked straight to the back hall.

"Yes! Sir!"

Mrs. Wang agreed happily and started to walk out.

If she doesn't make a penny and has to serve these officials and the yamen carefully every day, she doesn't want to work anymore.

"Wait!"

Cai Sui suddenly stood up and said to Jiang Chen with an unkind expression:

"Who do you think you are? Who gave you the courage to close the door? I have already made an appointment with someone to drink here all night long. You are closing the door just after noon. Do you want me to break my promise?"

"That's right! You're closed, where should we go tonight? Should we go drink the northwest wind?"

"You can't close the door. If anyone dares to close the door, don't blame me for being rude to him!"

Bang! Bang——

Amidst the noise, some people slapped the table and shouted angrily at Jiang Chen, while some people directly smashed the tea cup over, not paying attention to him, an eighth-grade official.

A bunch of bastards!

Are you so confident that you can eat and drink for free?

Jiang Chen was angry and aggrieved, and walked into the back hall with a dark face.



As soon as he sat down, Li Yan smiled bitterly at him and shook his head: "Brother Xian, have you finally given up?"

"Give up?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, drinking tea while rapidly rotating his brain cells.

After Mother Wang brought the two eunuch deputies to Deng Wenhao, and Wang still and the six stewards called over, he asked: "Did we buy the wine in our Jiaofang Department or brew it ourselves? How much is left?"

In addition, how much money does Jiaofangsi still have in its current accounts?"

"Sir, the drinks are all home-brewed Japanese sake in winter. There is sufficient inventory. The shop facing the street to the south sells them every day. It is only through this income that Jiaobosi can barely survive."

Deng Wenhao bowed to Jiang Chen and Li Yan very respectfully as he spoke, and then glanced at the other deputy, Wang Still, with jealous eyes and said:

"As for how much money is left in the accounts, you have to ask Mr. Wang. After Mr. Tidian was dismissed, Mr. Wang has been managing the accounts."

"There is no more money in the account!"

Wang Yi shook his head with an arrogant attitude. He was from Tong Guan and didn't care about Li Yan at all. As for Jiang Chen, he didn't even pay attention to him.

"There's no money left? You can't have nothing left, right?" Jiang Chen frowned upon hearing this.

"Hmph! Sir, do you want to check the accounts? Then you can check it out and call the official to come over. The official has to go to greet Mr. Cai, so I won't accompany you!"

Wang Yi threw the account book on the table, turned around and walked out. At the same time, the steward who left with him immediately ignored Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then slammed the table, stood up and shouted angrily:

"Stop for me! I'm too lazy to take care of your old bad debts! But how much money is left, you have to explain it clearly to me, and then sign and pledge it as proof!"

"Hey, please remind me of your great official authority, sir?"

Wang still looked at Jiang Chen with an unkind look, then sneered, took out a penny and threw it to Jiang Chen, saying: "This is the only penny left, please keep it, sir! Hahaha..."

He laughed, pressed his fingerprint on the account book, and walked away.

damn it!

See how long you can laugh!

Jiang Chen glanced at his back coldly, and then hurriedly checked the account, only to find that there was really only one penny left.

Because the previous more than 100 bottles of wine revenue had just been wiped out by Wang still in the name of purchasing, even the ink was new...

"This is because you sincerely don't give me a way to survive!"

While Jiang Chen was angry, he also realized Cai Jing's overwhelming power and knew that it was impossible to improve the Jiaofang Division to achieve profitability through normal methods!

So after thinking for a moment, he stood up and said to Deng Wenhao: "Take me to the wine warehouse!"
