Chapter 366 The Will of Power
As night fell, Lantian County, which had been noisy and lively for a day, finally became peaceful.
Xue Shao and his group stayed in Zuixian Tower. When they opened the window, they could see the former Xue Shao's former residence and the current Yaochi Yulin.
The arrival of Master Lantian made the owner overjoyed and flattered. During the meal, the owner asked someone to carry a broken wall panel, which was left by Zheng Kunlun when he demolished Xue Shao's former residence that day. There was a poem with ink traces remaining on it - "When the faint spring breeze falls, I can't bear the sorrow and hope. I can buy the Longmen Fu. I have no money, and I sing the poem of fan songs in the air."
It was exactly what Zhang Yaotiao left when she left Xue Mansion and picked up a pen. The owner loved poetry and pity Zhang Yaotiao, so he secretly asked someone to buy this wall panel and hid it in the store like a treasure. Gradually, it became the "treasure of the store."
However, when Xue Shao saw this, his mood was very complicated. Zhang Yaotiao's fragrant soul had passed away, and the former residence was demolished.
Time flies and personnel changes. Only after losing it will you remember the preciousness you had at the beginning.
"Zheng Kunlun, where are people?" Xue Shao asked his side and his side.
Lu Siyi hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "After Zheng Qizhi was imprisoned, Zheng Kunlun wanted to escape. Our brother had already waited for him, and he was arrested and taken down, and he had already handed over to the Censor Wei to deal with it."
Xue Shao nodded, "This person deserves to be killed!"
Lu Siyi clasped his fists solemnly, "I understand!"
Xue Shao let out a long sigh, opened the window and looked at the magnificent Yaochi Yulin, which was like an immortal palace. He was wondering whether to remove it or remove it? Or, remove it?
Yue Nu was changing the medicine for Yu Hongye's injured arm. The two girls muttered a few words, and Yu Hongye came forward and whispered: "Young Master, Zheng Qizhi's people were in prison and asked me to force you to ask for your former residence contract. They are still here with me, so you don't have to worry."
Xue Shao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "So your arm was broken?"
Yu Hongye's face turned red and he nodded slightly.
"Silly." Xue Shao sighed lightly and said, "What's the use of that piece of paper? Can you suffer so much for it?"
Yu Hongye smiled bitterly and said, "For the young master, a house contract may not be anything. But for me, it was almost my lifeblood. If I handed it over, not only would I have nothing from now on, but I would have no face to face the young master."
"What's the fact that you proved? Even if you didn't hand over that homeownership, my former residence was still forced to be occupied and transformed into what it is today?" Xue Shao said, "Some rules look like golden rules to you, but to others, it may be just a joke."
Yu Hongye blinked his eyes repeatedly and said thoughtfully: "The gap between civilians and powerful people...it turns out to be so big!"
"There is no fairness in this world, and you will see a bigger gap in the future." Xue Shao shook his head and smiled, "This world is the power and the nobles who are in charge of everything, and even the fair laws are actively protecting the interests of the powerful and the nobles. In the simplest example, there are eight discussions on the reduction of sentences for the powerful and the nobles who violate the law. The so-called prince breaks the law and the common people are just a lie."
"I seem to really understand something..." Yu Hongye sighed.
Xue Shao nodded and smiled, saying, "Your business must continue. In the future, you will deal with the powerful and powerful more. If you don't understand and be familiar with the rules and unwritten rules, you will be idle and run into a wall everywhere. In other words, although your experience in Lantian this time is miserable, it also teaches you a lesson, allowing you to truly understand some survival laws and regulations in the world of powerful and powerful. The people who can get rich in this world are definitely not the people who work hard every day, but the officials and businessmen who can best use the rules of the powerful and powerful and use their power to make wealth for themselves!"
"But I... really don't know much about how to deal with the powerful people." Yu Hongye was a little nervous. She seemed to hear some of the meaning in Xue Shao's words - she hoped that she would continue to manage the Yaochi Yulin.
Xue Shao smiled, "I am the powerful. Aren't we dating well?"
Yu Hongye burst into laughter and blushed, and she whispered, "Young Master... is different from outsiders."
"Is that true?" Xue Shao smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the Yulin of Yaochi outside the window, "I want to tear it down, how do you feel?"
"Ah?" Yu Hongye was shocked and said without hesitation, "It took so much money to build it, what a pity it was to demolish it!"
Xue Shao turned his head and looked at Yu Hongye, and smiled and said, "When talking to the powerful, you should think about it a few more times in your mind before saying it. Your words may make me feel that the Yulin of Yaochi is better than the former residence of Lantian."
"No, I didn't mean that!" Yu Hongye was embarrassed.
Xue Shao laughed loudly, "How about it, do you dare to continue to operate the Yulin of Yaochi here?"
Yu Hongye's face turned redder and he hurriedly said, "Yaochi Yulin is a place of sensuality, I don't know how to manage it."
"You don't have to experience everything yourself. It's enough for you to manage one or two people who know how to manage it." Xue Shao said, "In fact, to be fair, the management method of Yaochi Yulin is very unique. Although you don't charge much real money, you only make contacts with the powerful and powerful, and you earn connections and news. This is a huge amount of money that cannot be exchanged for no amount of money. If you can use these connections and news reasonably, you will be invincible in the shopping malls and even in the officialdom. This will be more money you earn a hundred times hard work!"
"Is this... illegal?" Yu Hongye was a little surprised and panicked and whispered.
Xue Shao smiled slightly and said, "Then do you think Zheng Kunlun is illegal?"
"Of course he broke the law! He took my house!" Yu Hongye said.
"You are wrong." Xue Shao waved his hand and said, "If it weren't for offending me, he would never be held accountable for forcing the house to seize the house. This is another important rule for getting along with the powerful. Whether you are right or wrong depends on how the powerful thinks of you. The rules are formulated by the powerful and the powerful and the powerful. If he says you are right, you are right; if he says you are wrong, you are wrong!"
"!!" Yu Hongye opened her eyes wide in shock for a while, and finally nodded with deep feelings, "So that's it..."
"Remember. Whether it is the law or morality, it is only used to restrain the majority of ordinary people in the world." Xue Shao said, "Unfortunately, the powerful belongs to another group of people outside the majority. Their world has other rules of survival. Don't look at and figure out their behaviors and thoughts with a worldly perspective and mentality. Many times, the will of power is the law of this world. If you can't change, you can only force yourself to adapt!"
"The will of power..." Yu Hongye took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, "I feel like I have entered a completely unfamiliar world, and many of my previous ideas will be subverted."
"I lost my horse and knew it was not a disaster." Xue Shao smiled, "This experience should make you understand a lot of things. In fact, I wanted to tell you this as early as the beginning of my business with the palace. But no matter how I teach you by words, I can't resist your own experience. In the future, you should know how to fight with the powerful."
"I... will work hard!" Yu Hongye said.
"Will you take over the Yaochi Yulin?" Xue Shao asked.
Yu Hongye gritted his teeth and nodded solemnly, "I'll try it first, and then watch the results in two months. What do you think?"
"Okay." Xue Shao nodded and smiled, "No one is born to do it, it is all about the acquired learning. I have confidence in you and will definitely build the Yaochi Yulin into the world's number one club."
"Corresort?" Yu Hongye was surprised.
Xue Shao couldn't help but smile and said, "Romantic but not obscene, lightly extravagant but not lewd, come and go all voluntarily respect others, and accept elegant and wise men without tainting dirt - this is the club!"
"Okay, I understand!" Yu Hongye was a little excited. It seemed much more interesting than selling soap!
"At the same time, your business cannot be stopped." Xue Shao said, "The important significance of opening a Yulin in Yaochi is to better serve your business and make your business bigger and stronger. It is far from enough to just protect your business by escorting your business. This time you saw that I have only been out for half a year, and I dared someone to attack you."
"I understand!" Yu Hongye nodded again, feeling more excited, full of longing for the future.
"Try hard." Xue Shao smiled slightly, "From today, the business empire we jointly operate is officially!"
...
Three days later, Wei Yuanzhong publicly sentenced Zheng Kunlun to the Lantian County Government to commit many crimes of harming his neighbors, and was sentenced to hanging and taken to Chang'an to go to Tianzhuo, and was sentenced to death. A group of his thugs and confidants were sentenced to death.
Former Lantian County Magistrate Zheng Qizhi committed a crime of corruption and abuse of law to shelter his relatives. He was sentenced to be exempted from official positions and exiled for two thousand miles and immediately took him back to Chang'an prison, which is waiting for the Censorate to investigate and execute him.
When the news came out, the countryside of Lantian was in full swing.
It turned out that Zheng Kunlun, who had appeared in front of the people of Lantian County as a "rich and wealthy man", showed his true face after buying a lot of land and winning over many tenants. He made a clever name to increase the rent. The rent reduced according to the prior agreement not only did not bring real benefits to the tenants, but also greatly increased their burden. Not only did it, if the tenants had a beautiful daughter or wife at home, they could not escape Zheng Kunlun's claws without exception, and were all caught in the Yaochi Yulin and became prostitutes.
Xue Shao brought the land deed from Yu Hongye to publicly filed a lawsuit, requesting a law to make a decision. Wei Yuanzhong announced in public that Zheng Kunlun had occupied Xue Shao's former residence and converted it into a Yaochi Yulin for illegal occupation and sentenced to return the property to the original owner.
The first thing Xue Shao did after taking back his "former residence" was to release the civilian women who were forced to be prostitutes. This move of course made the people of Lantian grateful and cheer. A large number of people gathered in front of the gate of Yulin in Yaochi and Yulin, and made a special trip to thank Xue Shao.
Xue Shao asked Yu Hongye to come forward to receive these people, and told the people that Yu Hongye was entrusted by Xue Shao to continue to operate the Yaochi Yulin.
In this way, the Yulin of Yaochi was "bleached" in a reasonable and legal way, and turned into an industry under Xue Shao's name. Previously, the "secret cooperation" relationship between Xue Shao and Yu Hongye officially surfaced and appeared in the public.
After doing these things, Xue Shao let out a sigh of relief.
It’s time to go back to Chang'an and deal with the real mastermind behind the scenes!
