Ning Zhenbao was very happy to see Qi Jue present. He raised his head and asked excitedly: "Ninth cousin, it's rare to see you here to have tea and listen to books. What do you think of today's storytelling?"
Liu Niang was trembling and her face was pale.
Originally, she was not afraid that the officials wanted to arrest her, but after learning that His Highness King Dingbei was also at the scene, she instantly became frightened.
It wasn't until this moment that she realized belatedly that the reason her boss didn't let her tell the story about the God of War and the cool female general today was because the prototype of the story was sitting right here!
Good guy, she is rushing to die, but she can't even stop her!
At this moment, Liu Niang's mind had already skipped the countless ways she could die.
No one in the entire imperial capital knows that His Highness King Dingbei is decisive in killing and not flirting with women. She still dares to use him as a prototype to make up these stories about male love and female love. Isn’t it because she is tired of life or something?
Just as Liu Niang was shivering in fear, the beaded curtain in the elegant room moved slightly.
Today, Qi Jue wore dark blue brocade clothes and a red and white undershirt, embroidered with dark patterns of flying birds, which made him have red lips and white teeth, and a jade-like face. He really was a Zhilan Yushu, unparalleled in the world.
At first glance, you will find that his clothes are somewhat similar to Yan Mingzhu's clothes today, and they look like couple clothes.
Qi Jue put one hand behind his back and looked down. After hearing his name, the guests upstairs and downstairs had already knelt on the floor.
And among these people who were kneeling on the ground, with their heads lowered and not even daring to take a breath, only a few were standing.
But when Qi Jue looked down, his eyes met Yan Mingzhu's very accurately and never looked away again.
Just when Yan Mingzhu thought that he was definitely going to punish him, she heard the man's unclear words: "It's full of ups and downs. It's very novel. Yes, reward."
What, good? Reward?
Before anyone could react, Feiyu had already taken out his money bag and directly rewarded him with an ingot of gold!
Feiyu also said with a smile: "Your Highness rarely rewards people. This lady, you are extremely lucky. Why don't you quickly thank Your Highness for your kindness?"
Liu Niang trembled with trembling hands and took the reward in disbelief. Then she knelt down with a plop and kowtowed twice, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"
"However, similar stories are limited to Ming Yuexuan. If other teahouses imitate it and spread to my ears, I will definitely not take it lightly."
Qi Jue had no interest in listening to other people's unfounded stories of love and hatred about him. The reason why he was acting out of character today was only because of Yan Mingzhu.
The listeners, however, had expressions of sudden realization.
His Royal Highness the Northern King of Emotion Ding really likes these stories about men and women making love, you and me!
No wonder His Highness has never been seen visiting the teahouse before. It turns out that they failed to seize the business opportunity. It seems that Ming Yue Xuan was more skilled and captured the heart of His Highness Dingbei King with incomparable accuracy!
This is both a compliment and a reward. Ming Yuexuan will have great luck in the future. With His Royal Highness Dingbei King’s golden words, who else can’t think of it and dare to steal the story and compete with Ming Yuexuan for business?
Yan Mingzhu naturally knew Qi Jue's true intention and smiled at him gratefully.
Qi Jue felt inexplicably happy. He moved his eyes away and looked at the trembling officials.
"In the absence of any evidence, just relying on a few words from others, arresting people arbitrarily and using officials to bully the people, Jingzhao Mansion did it smoothly."
The official was so frightened that he almost peed, and his head banged on the ground, "The little official deserves to die! The little official deserves to die! Your Highness, forgive me! They are all... all Fuyun Tower, all these unruly people from Fuyun Tower, what are you talking about?"
Someone in Ming Yuexuan arranged for His Highness,
The junior official didn't understand the situation, and he almost wronged the innocent. The junior official was at fault. The junior official will never dare to do it again. Please give the junior official another chance to make up for his mistakes!"
Feiyu kicked him and said, "That's a lot of nonsense. Now that you know who is causing trouble on purpose, arrest him quickly and take him to Jingzhao Mansion for interrogation. If you don't find out the person behind the scenes, you will have a black hat on your head."
You don’t have to wear it anymore!”
If the official dared to say even half a word more, say yes repeatedly, and get rid of it three times and five times, he would have a group of people led by the shopkeeper Zheng of Fuyun Tower tied up.
Shopkeeper Zheng subconsciously wanted to shout for help to Pei Duqin, but Pei Duqin looked at him deeply, with a warning in his eyes.
The Jingzhao Mansion will not kill him, but if he betrays the Pei family, his life will definitely be at stake!
At this time, Yan Mingzhu spoke calmly: "These troublemakers deliberately slandered Ming Yuexuan's reputation and disturbed my guests. Are you going to take them away so easily and call it a day?"
"Of course not, why are you still standing there? Kneel down and apologize, and then pay the money. Otherwise, when you enter the Jingzhao Mansion, you will have to shed a layer of your skin first!"
Shopkeeper Zheng was kicked on the leg, and shopkeeper Zheng was forced to kneel on the ground. In order to save his life, he could only kowtow in the direction of Yan Mingzhu with all his strength.
"They are all villains who have been blinded by lard. Please forgive me, girl!"
"Girl, spare your life!"
They begged for mercy one after another until their foreheads were broken, and Yan Mingzhu slowly spoke: "It's easy to let you go. All you need to do is confess who instigated you to come to Ming Yuexuan to cause trouble. Not only can I let you go, but also
We can prevent you from going to jail."
Shopkeeper Zheng knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "No... no one instigated it. It was... the villain was blinded by jealousy. Seeing that Ming Yuexuan's business was booming, he... thought of leading people to cause trouble.
It's the villain's fault. I won't dare to do it anymore. Please forgive me, girl!"
Yan Mingzhu showed a confused expression, "No one instigated it? I thought that you and the second son of the Pei family were singing harmoniously here because the Pei family deliberately instigated you to cause trouble for me."
Because of Heli's affairs, the affairs of Yan Mingzhu and the Pei family have long been known to the whole city.
The Pei family has lost face and become a joke among people after dinner, so why don't they bother Yan Mingzhu?
After Yan Mingzhu mentioned this, everyone immediately understood that the Pei family was the one who took the lead in the matter of relationships, but their intentions were really sinister!
"Miss Yan, it's Pei's fault for being nosy, but this is Pei's behavior and has nothing to do with the Pei family. Please don't accuse the entire Pei family of an unfounded crime because of personal grudges.
"
Yan Mingzhu laughed at this, "Second Young Master Pei must have forgotten that just yesterday, your good father Pei Youxiang deliberately made trouble at the gate of Yongyihou Mansion, but the evil plan failed.
Instead, he knelt in front of my grandfather's coffin and kowtowed several times to apologize. His Majesty also fined him a salary. Now he is afraid that he is still confined in the palace and cannot be free, right?"
