Under the murmur of complaints, Liu Chengfeng's face showed a growing sneer. After a long time, he glanced at the captains and said, "Are you done? It's my turn to speak."
The sound in the hall suddenly stopped. Everyone looked at Liu Chengfeng without making a sound.
Liu Chengfeng glared at Chen Hongyu and sneered: "Mr. Chen Qi, you are so brave. You dare to incite the captain to cause trouble in the Hundred Household Institute. Do you really think I don't know about your little tricks? As a subordinate general banner
, you are so audacious, what kind of crime is this? Come, capture him, send him to Nanzhen Prefecture, and punish him for bullying!"
There seemed to be a gust of dark wind blowing in the hall, especially Chen Hongyu, who only felt a chill behind his back. If he said he was not afraid, it would be a lie. Where is the deputy director of Nanzhen? To Jin Yiwei, it was the imperial prison in the eyes of the imperial officials.
Once you've gone in, don't even think about coming out. Furthermore, for Liu Baihu, Nanzhen Fusi is almost the same as his own. Don't you want to peel off a few layers of skin from the people Liu Baihu sent there?
Chen Hongyu is usually not very courageous. Today he was forced to a dead end before he plucked up the courage. When he heard that Liu Chengfeng wanted to punish him, he immediately knelt down and said, "Sir... I am humble for the sake of..."
"For what?" Liu Chengfeng slapped the case and stood up, glaring angrily: "To give this hundred households a slap in the face? If I don't deal with you today, will there be any royal law in these hundred households?"
After hearing this, the school captains fell down one after another and begged for mercy for Chen Hongyu. They were all mourning for a while. There were very few Jin Yiwei like Liu Chengfeng who dared to commit such crimes. When everyone saw that Liu Chengfeng was serious about it, what?
All grievances were frightened and disappeared.
But Liu Chengfeng smiled solemnly and said: "Begging for mercy? Aren't you audacious? Aren't there no food to eat? Aren't the whole family starving to death? Why are you begging for mercy? Huh, what a bastard, you want to accept it?
Is it part money? Okay, then go and collect it, Chen Hongyu!"
Chen Hongyu trembled and said, "I'm humble."
Liu Chengfeng closed his eyes casually and said, "Do you know your guilt?"
Chen Hongyu shuddered: "Convicted!"
"Okay!" Liu Chengfeng stood up and said, "I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins and support your family. Don't you want money? Then go to Fireworks Alley and ask for money. There are plenty of them there!"
The entire lobby of Baihusuo became quiet. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Cold sweat broke out on Chen Hongyu's forehead, and he said in a clear voice: "Sir... Your Excellency..."
Liu Chengfeng sneered: "Don't you dare? Are you so worthless? You would rather ask for the small profits of setting up a calligraphy stall than make the big money in Fireworks Alley? If you don't dare, I will send you to Nan
Secretary of the town government, in the future, who will dare to raise the issue of being able to support a family of young and old? You don’t have to do the errands of the guard station. There are no two-legged toads. Do these hundreds of households even recruit school captains?
Not yet?"
The captains began to discuss in low voices again, feeling the feeling of having no money. At this time, almost everyone was in short supply. Some were completely depleted. Even those who still had some savings, most of them had nothing. After all, they had nothing to lose.
There is plenty of fuel and water, and the expenses are high. Now that it has suddenly returned to its original shape, who is willing to go back and live a miserable life?
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. We are all men, and we are responsible for the livelihood of the whole family. Letting them eat three meals without meat is more uncomfortable than killing them.
Liu Chengfeng encouraged: "The Fireworks Alley is under the jurisdiction of the Hundred Households. This Fireworks Alley should be decided by the Hundred Households. Dongchang's fans can make money, why can't we, as the emperor's personal soldiers, take the money we should get?"
?Firework Hutong is the most prosperous in the entire capital. As long as you can receive your share of the money, I guarantee that everyone will enjoy a good life and have one or two hundred taels of silver in expenses every month. But if you don’t dare, just pretend that I didn’t say anything.
After saying this, you are bringing your own fault, and you deserve to be hungry and cold, no one else is to blame!"
When they heard one or two hundred taels of silver, the captains couldn't help but lick their mouths, with greed in their eyes. In the past, they could only get twenty or thirty taels of silver a month in other places, but now the promise of so much money
The temptation for them is really too great. It would have been fine in the past, but now they can't even survive, and many people are eager to try it.
Not only the captain, but also Chen Hongyu was shocked. If the captain could get one or two hundred taels, wouldn't his general flag have at least five hundred taels? He had never thought of taking the idea to Fireworks Alley before.
Yes, even if I have the heart, I don’t have the courage. But Liu Chengfeng’s words are clear. If you don’t go, go to Nanzhen Fusi. If you go, there may be some hope of wealth, but everyone will die, naturally.
Give it a try.
"Sir, get down here!" Chen Hongyu's eyes were red and he almost screamed.

The flower shop is a four-story independent building, imitating the elegance of Jiangnan lofts. The front door is very open and decorated with red and pink paintings. A row of red lanterns hangs under the eaves of the second floor, swaying in the wind.
Bright and bright.
Although it was early in the morning, there were not many guests, but there were some young men who got up early, and wealthy businessmen arrived in twos and threes. Most of them came to listen to music, drink tea, and chat with popular girls. The few guards guarding the door were smiling.
When guests come, they all try their best to fawn over you, and the people who come here are all wealthy people. When you are in a good mood, you will be thrown a full silver ingot, which is enough for you to have enough food and clothing for a year.
In fact, the people who come here include both the real rich and the nouveau riche who pretend to be rich. The rich are fine. They talk well and have a limit on rewards. However, the nouveau riche are different. What they follow is elegance and what they show off is lavishness.
, who dares to say that they have no money, they have to fight with others.
The Flower Shop is the largest brothel in the Fireworks Alley, but the prostitutes here are different from other prostitutes. The brothel sells meat, but here they sell arts. The popular girls in the Flower Shop are all good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
He is so proficient in words and poetry. In addition, each one of them is as beautiful as a flower and as tender as water. I don’t know how many people are attracted to them. However, the girls here may not sell themselves. They are just high in status and have the opportunity to choose for themselves.
A good relationship requires not only money, but also people's eyes.
It is precisely because of this that the young masters and wealthy businessmen are attracted. The more they don't get it, the more they are itchy. In order to be favored, they naturally spend their money like water. Those who can come here are actually talented and learned.
The limit is tight. To gain favor, you can only use your own advantages, and the advantage of these people is nothing more than money.
Chen Hongyu led three or four school lieutenants to the door of the flower shop with hesitant expressions. Although the Jin Yiwei were arrogant, there were really not many people who could afford to spend money here. Even Chen Hongyu, the commander-in-chief, was the first to come here.
Second-rate.
Chen Hongyu felt a little guilty, but now that he had issued a military order, he finally plucked up the courage to rush in with a few captains.
"Hey...do you know where this place is?" The guard at the door saw a few people in Feiyu suits trying to enter. Instead of showing signs of horror like ordinary ignorant people, the guard at the door held Chen Hongyu arrogantly and held his hands.
When someone stopped him, he looked disdainful and laughed half-heartedly.
"They are from the Jin Yiwei? Look, you are also an ordinary school captain, Xiaoqi, is this a place where you can come? I'm so frustrated and crazy. I'm looking for girls. There are a lot of wandering warblers under the Zhaojia Bridge, so hurry up!"
When Chen Hongyu was given such a drink, his great courage disappeared in an instant. He felt a little shorter than others, but he still had the courage to say: "Don't be verbose, I am from the Hundred Households in Yanhua Hutong. I am here to come to you on the orders of the adults.
Are you collecting money from members here? Call your boss here and I will talk to him personally?"
Several guards at the door were stunned and looked at each other. Then one of the guards said: "Okay, you wait, I will invite the owner." After that, he quickly entered the flower shop.
Chen Hongyu had a lot of cold sweat on his hands, but when he saw that the other party really asked someone who could speak to him to negotiate with him, he felt much more relaxed. He couldn't help but become more courageous, and thought to himself: "After all,
They are the emperor's own soldiers. When these people open the door to do business, they still have a little awe in their hearts. That's good. As long as they are willing to give some benefits, I can go back and do business, and then I will get a lot of money.
, kill two birds with one stone.”
