(Thanks to An Tantan and the two beauties of Ten Worlds of Love for the reward.)
People outside are gradually getting louder. Ordinary people are getting up early one after another in order to make a living. The troubles of last night have been forgotten. The livelihood issues of the whole family have occupied all their energy. They have neither the time nor the courage to meddle in these nosy matters.
, they just met and bowed to each other occasionally, softly expressed their opinions on how many people died last night, and what happened most of the night, then shook their heads and sighed and went to their own business.
Su Jin also got up early. After washing up, he rushed to Dongcheng and Fenglou with Zhu Lezi's receipt without even eating breakfast. The receipt was like a piece of red-hot coal, which made him uneasy.
She opened the back door and entered Yan Biyun's residence with ease. She happened to meet Xiao Xian'er who was carrying a copper basin and pouring water out. When she saw Su Jin wandering around the young lady's boudoir early in the morning, Xiao Xian'er's face suddenly turned pale.
The elder, with a changed expression, said: "Mr. Su, you are too casual. You come to harass my young lady before she gets up early in the morning. How can my young lady walk around in front of others if word spreads?"
Su Jin was so preoccupied that he had no time to chat with her, so he rushed in silently. Xiao Xian'er opened her arms and crossed her body to stop him and said: "What are you doing, in broad daylight, forcing your way in?"
Su Jin became angry and pushed her aside and said: "I have something important to see your lady. I will apologize for being rude and don't waste my time."
Xiao Xian'er raised her voice and said: "Oh, you are still so arrogant. Do you think you are the master of this place?"
Su Jin walked in without looking back, paying no attention to her. Xiao Xian'er followed him relentlessly, talking non-stop. There was no respect for Su Jin in her words.
.
"Xian'er, do you still understand the rules? How unbecoming is it to make such noise?" Yan Biyun appeared at the door of the room and scolded with a cold face.
"Miss, he..." Xiao Xian'er felt so wronged to death, not because of your reputation, otherwise why would I have done this?
"Why are you so ignorant of the rules? Since Mr. Su came here early in the morning, he must have come to me with something urgent. When will it be your turn to talk? I usually indulge you, but now you are meddling too much.
If this happens again, you should go back to Bianliang to avoid seeing anything unpleasant to your eyes." Yan Biyun was really angry.
Xiao Xian'er was dumbfounded. The young lady had been completely confused by Mr. Su. As soon as Gastrodia elata appeared, Su Jin came. If this situation continues, wouldn't it mean that someone is going to knock on the young lady's window in the middle of the night? If this continues, the young lady's reputation will be completely ruined.
Already.
Xiao Xian'er felt bitter in her heart, but she didn't dare to reply. Tears fell down. Seeing this, Su Jin hurriedly said: "It's my fault. Xiao Xian'er is right. This matter is too urgent. I came to see you."
Your lady discussed this, I will definitely pay attention in the future, sister Xianer, don’t cry, I will buy you a crab roe bun later to apologize."
Xiao Xian'er choked and said: "My little maid didn't mean to disturb Mr. Su and Miss Su. It's just that I was helping in front yesterday and I heard someone starting to gossip. Isn't it for Miss and Mr. Su that I did this? Wan
Those people talk dirty and talk badly about the young lady, how can this be a good thing?"
Su Jin and Yan Biyun changed sex at the same time. Unexpectedly, there would be rumors so quickly. Not many people knew about Yan Biyun's coming to Yingtian Mansion. Some people had already spread rumors around this matter. It was obvious that someone was keeping an eye on the two of them.
Su Jin couldn't help but sweat, stepped forward and bowed: "I was careless, the girl is right, but today this matter is urgent, I have no choice but to come here early in the morning, and leave after saying that.
I have to go to school at the same time, and I still have a lot of articles to write, and there is nothing I can do about it, but Miss Xian'er will take care of me."
Xiao Xian'er wiped away her tears and turned around and walked out, saying, "My little maid went out to keep the wind away for you. I'm sorry that I didn't ask why. You guys can talk."
Su Jin and Yan Biyun looked at each other, and Yan Biyun smiled and said, "I apologize to you on behalf of Xian'er. She has such a temper, like a child, but she is sincere and sincere about being a slave."
Su Jin said: "I know it was me who was rude and came too frequently. I will have to come less often in the future. Since some people are talking about it, I have to be careful."
Yan Biyun blushed and whispered: "I feel wronged, sir. I don't know when this sneakiness will end."
Su Jin chuckled and said: "If our love lasts for a long time, how can we go back and forth day and night, and the days will still be long in the future? Don't I have a one-year appointment with Mr. Yan? One year will pass quickly, as long as we
Once you regain your freedom, we can interact openly and openly."
Yan Biyun let out an inaudible sigh and led Su Jin into the boudoir. The two sat down, and Su Jin told Yan Biyun everything about what happened last night. Yan Biyun clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with her little hands, and her heart skipped a beat as she listened;
He would utter exclamations from time to time when he reached dangerous places. As Su Jin narrated, Yan Biyun seemed to be immersed in the scene, as if he and Su Jin had experienced the danger of last night together. After Su Jin finished speaking, Yan Biyun's snow-white forehead actually had blood flowing through it.
Fine beads of sweat came out.
"Sister Yan, I now regret forcing Zhu Lezi to write this note. I was very proud of it at the time, but after thinking about it afterwards, I really took another step into the quagmire. If that group of people knew about me,
With Zhu Lezi's autographed confession in hand, I'm afraid there will be no peace anymore." Su Jin frowned.
Yan Biyun thought carefully for a while and said: "After you came yesterday, I asked someone to find out the details of that group of people. The news that came was very worrying. Even if you don't come today, I will still
I went to tell you that, oh, you are in big trouble again."
Su Jin said in surprise: "Does that group of people have a strong background?"
Yan Biyun said: "More than the word "hard" can describe it, the backstage of those gangsters reaches straight to the sky. Except for one person in the world, I am afraid no one can suppress him."
Su Jin changed his tone and said: "It's so powerful, is this news reliable?"
Yan Biyun said: "The person who brought the news to the slave family was a fifth-rank official in Yingtian Mansion. He was favored by his uncle and later served in Yingtian Mansion. It is not convenient to reveal his name because this matter involves a lot. Then
Many people have told me not to tell anyone who has nothing to do with it. Originally, the slave family did not know him. This time my uncle came to the academy to give lectures. My family also has property in Yingtian Mansion, so my uncle introduced this person to the slave family.
Ying Tianfu's business is well taken care of, so this person should not speak nonsense."
Su Jin was anxious and said: "What kind of official is the person behind the scenes? Is he a first-class official?"
Yan Biyun said: "He is just a high-ranking official. This person is the nephew of the current Holy Emperor. Speaking of which, you also know him, His Highness Prince Teng."
Su Jin almost fell down. Unexpectedly, it was Teng Wang Zhao Zongdan who was backing him up. No wonder these people were equipped with swords and dared to openly retaliate and kill people. As for why the Yingtian Mansion Yamen did not interfere, it was obvious. Then Tang Jie and these people
Prince Zhao is a collusion, which can be clearly proved from the chance encounter in a small restaurant outside the academy that day.
"There are local snakes entrenched in the southeast and northwest cities of Yingtian Mansion. They compete openly and covertly with each other. They compete for territory and collect the so-called plate fees from the people. In fact, they are getting something for nothing, bullying and exploiting the people. On the surface, these local snakes have nothing to do with King Teng. In fact,
Their overall leader is a staff member named Qin in the palace, so it can be imagined that Prince Teng plays the role of backer behind the scenes." Yan Biyun said.
Su Jin asked: "I just don't understand how Zhao Zongdan, who is the King of Teng, got involved with these low-life ruffians. Isn't this a self-degradation? What good does this do to him?"
Yan Biyun poked Su Jin's forehead and said: "You are just confused sometimes. Do you think this plate fee is a small amount? The four cities charge nearly 100,000 yuan in plate fees every month, which amounts to 1.2 million yuan a year.
Guan, this is a big piece of fat."
Su Jin stuck out his tongue for a long time and couldn't pull it back. One million and two hundred thousand dollars a year. This is such a huge sum of money. It's no wonder that as a prince, he wants to get involved in the interests of the underworld.
"My uncle once said that last year our Song Dynasty raised only 38 million yuan in national taxes. A small Yingtian Mansion can make a lot of money just by exploiting the people. It's hard not to be tempted."
Su Jin bit his lips and said: "It is conceivable that in addition to the retention below, the Yamen must also have benefited, so the benefits are shared, so they all ignore the life and death of the people."
Yan Biyun said: "More than that, this 1.2 million is handed over to the palace staff named Qin. In fact, the monthly share of the four cities is 100,000, no matter how much the plate fee is collected, it doesn't matter how much it is."
No matter how little you pay, you should always pay the fixed amount, which is a sum of money that is guaranteed to be collected during droughts and floods."
Su Jin stood up angrily and said: "But of course the people below are very vicious and not afraid of murder and arson, so the plate fees will be more and more, because the more you charge, the more you can save, and the people below can also make more. No wonder Old Chiang Kai-shek has a big palm."
A small snack shop actually has to pay a huge amount in a month, these are these devils who eat people but don't spit out their dregs."
Yan Biyun sighed: "It's useless for you to be angry about this matter. I'm afraid no one will shake the status quo in Yingtian Mansion. But you got up against the injustice once and almost got killed. With such huge interests here, how can you easily shake it?"
.”
Su Jin said angrily: "Is it possible that no one in the court noticed it? Does the emperor just ignore this matter?"
Yan Biyun smiled and said: "Silly Sir, everything depends on evidence. Yingtian Mansion has been managed like an iron bucket by Prince Teng. Where can we find evidence? Besides, even if the emperor knows it, he can still do it without any evidence.
Why don't you take the initiative to investigate? This is related to the royal family's face."
Su Jin remained silent, angry in his heart, but feeling powerless again.dd
