Chapter 47: Taking money from someone is like killing one's parents
Near the Donghua Gate is the Yamen of the Dongjishi Factory. The layout of the Dongchang is a bit worse than that of the Jinyi Guards, but it is much stricter than the Jinyi Guards. Donghua Gate is connected to the Forbidden City, and there are people in the palace almost all the time.
My father-in-law comes in and out here.
In the lobby of the East Police Factory, a fine blue and white porcelain vase fell to the ground with a bang.
The broken porcelain pieces spattered out, and several people who banged their heads on the floor tiles were hit in the forehead by the flying porcelain pieces. Dark red blood snaked down like earthworms.
Dozens of people knelt on the ground, motionless, not daring to breathe out. Even though their foreheads were covered in blood, they didn't even dare to hum.
Sitting next to the lobby was a military attache wearing a flying fish uniform. The military attache drank tea slowly and turned a blind eye to the scene in front of him.
"Deng Tong, tell me!"
The person who spoke was none other than Eunuch Liu, who had delivered the message to Liu Chengfeng last time. Eunuch Liu's face was ferocious and angry, like an angry lion. He was the one who smashed the porcelain bottle on the ground. This porcelain bottle was originally his favorite.
, at any other time, no one would dare to touch him. He let out a sigh of relief before sitting back on the chair, and a pair of sinister eyes fell on Deng Tong, who was kneeling on the floor tiles.
"The merchants have said that Jin Yiwei has already taken the money. If our Dongchang wants it, we can ask for it from Jin Yiwei. The villain led people to several brothels in a row, but they were all rejected. They
They said... they said... you only have one share of the money, if you give it to Dongchang, there will be no Jinyiwei, if you give it to Jinyiwei..."
"Pah..." Eunuch Liu stood up and said with a sneer: "Okay, what a royal guard, when did a group of school captains dare to ride on the head of our Dongchang and go wild? How presumptuous, how presumptuous!"
"Eunuch Liu, don't be angry..." The military attache sitting aside drinking tea smiled slightly, put down the tea cup, and said slowly: "If you have anything to discuss in the long term."
This military attache is Wu Yong, who is in charge of the Thousand Households of Dongchang. The person in charge of Thousands of Households is the most powerful person in Dongchang besides the father-in-laws. Because the father-in-laws often have errands in the palace and cannot take care of both, so this Dongchang
The daily operations were handled by Wu Yongsheng. Wu Yongsheng was handsome, and he was the nephew of the factory owner of the East Factory, so even if Eunuch Liu saw him, he had to smile with him.
After hearing Wu Yong's words, Eunuch Liu said with a gloomy face: "Wu Qianhu, let's talk about it, how can we make a long-term plan?"
Wu Yong closed his eyes. In terms of concentration, he was indeed much higher than Eunuch Liu. He smiled slightly and said: "What we need to make clear now is that this matter is a small family who ate lard and was blinded. In order to
The great benefits of Fireworks Hutong were taken out of hand. Or are these hundreds of households just puppets on strings? Jin Yiwei has been planning this for a long time, using these hundreds of households to attack Fireworks Hutong? If it was just Liu Chengfeng who made his own decisions, this would be easier to handle.
, it’s not easy to strangle him to death? But what if this is someone behind Liu Chengfeng’s instigation?”
Eunuch Liu took a breath, thought for a moment, and then said: "You mean Mou Bin..."
Wu Yong smiled. Compared with these little eunuchs who only used the palace sign to pretend to be powerful outside, his thoughts were obviously much more careful. Wu Yong said slowly and authentically: "Look at this person Mou Bin.
Go up and be honest, but this honesty is for the emperor and the cabinet, so I don't believe it. There are such great benefits in Fireworks Alley, will Mou Bin be tempted?"
Eunuch Liu's face twitched, and he said: "What you said is really similar. The factory owner once said that Mou Bin is not a simple person. He looks honest, but in fact he is the most scheming. The factory owner only admires three and a half people in his life.
People with the surname Mou are at least half of them."
Wu Yong immediately smiled and said: "This is not certain. Is it Mu Bin's instigation? This matter cannot be let go easily anyway. 30% of the annual income of Dongchang comes from the fireworks alley. Without the fireworks
The money in the alley, the factory boss and we all have to drink from the northwest wind. Isn't there a saying that is right? Taking people's money is like killing your parents. They Jin Yiwei dare to take advantage of the evil. If we don't fight back, what will happen to the East Factory from now on?
To gain a foothold? How can you let go of the factory owner's face? Eunuch Liu, does the factory owner have any explanations in the palace?"
Liu Gonggong said: "The factory boss said it is going to rain in the capital."
Wu Yong smiled slightly and felt relieved, and said: "If it rains, Mr. Liu, we have to make thunder and lightning. First, we will stir up thunder and lightning. How big and how big will the trouble be? What are Mr. Liu's plans?"
?”
Eunuch Liu gritted his teeth and said viciously: "If they can destroy a flower shop, we will demolish the Fireworks Alley and let everyone see whether Jin Yiwei or our Dongchang has the final say in the capital! Wu Qianhu
, you go and do this, gather people, aren't they going to make a fuss? Then just make a big fuss and pass on the order, anyone in the Fireworks Alley wearing a Feiyu suit will be beaten up by the Zajia family, if they meet Liu Cheng
Wind, it would be better to kill it."
Wu Yong shook his head and said: "Liu Chengfeng cannot move for the time being."
Eunuch Liu sneered: "Why is this?"
Wu Yong smiled bitterly and said: "This man has just been praised by the emperor, saying that he is loyal to the king and does things decently. If he is beaten to death by us in the blink of an eye, his mentor Wang Ao and the Imperial College will definitely tell him. When the news reaches your majesty,
How do you and I explain it there? Besides, His Majesty has given him the Flying Fish Suit, and the royal gift is with him. If we hurt him, we will inevitably be criticized."
Eunuch Liu said angrily: "Then let him live a few more days." His eyes fell on the stalls kneeling at his feet, and he hissed in a sharp voice: "What are you still standing there for? It's going to rain!"
"
"As you command!"

Liu Chengfeng returned home in the evening. He originally thought that Wen Zheng would call him to talk. After all, such a big incident would require some interrogation. However, when he returned to his house, he realized that Wen Zheng had not come back yet.
I sent word to someone that I won't be coming back tonight.
Wen Chenxi had a quiet temperament and was working as a prostitute in the house. Liu Chengfeng said a few words to her, and while the weather was fine, he moved a chair to the yard to read. Wen Chenruo came over with a smile and leaned in.
Next to Liu Chengfeng, he whispered: "Brother-in-law, you are really brave today. The whole capital is spreading the news about you. You smashed the flower shop and scared away the fans of Dongchang. It's a pity that you were not called.
I'll go, otherwise it will be even more lively if the women's camp comes out."
Liu Chengfeng put down the book and asked curiously: "What is the Women's Camp?"
Wen Chenruo smiled, blinked and said, "I can't say this. Do you know what everyone says about you?"
Liu Chengfeng leaned on the chair and said perfunctorily: "How did you say that?"
Wen Chenruo sat across from Liu Chengfeng with his knees together and said, "They say you have a strong back, strong arms, and teeth as long as your forearms..."
Liu Chengfeng was speechless. There were so many false rumors. The news at this time was all spread by word of mouth. He destroyed the flower shop. It turned out that this was his image in the market.
Liu Chengfeng quickly interrupted Wen Chenruo and said: "These people are talking nonsense and just take it as a joke. My brother-in-law is suave and handsome. He is famous in the guard. If you don't believe it, go to the Jinyi Guard to pick something."
A man who is more outstanding than my brother-in-law comes out."
Wen Chenruo clicked his tongue: "Bragging, my father is much more handsome than you."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Wen Zheng's darkened appearance and his old face, which was neither happy nor angry. "Your father..."
"Isn't it?" Wen Chenruo looked like if you dared to say no, this spy would immediately report you.
Liu Chengfeng could only shake his head and said, "Yes, Mr. Taishan is famous for his handsomeness and suave style. I feel ashamed every time I see him, and my heart aches every time."
Wen Chenruo smiled and said, "I have some news for you, do you want to hear it?"
Liu Chengfeng looked like he didn't want to hear it, and said, "Speak out first and see."
Wen Chenruo said: "Many of the people who were sent out in Dongchang have been recalled. Look at this... Haha, I heard people say that this capital is going to have fun."
Liu Chengfeng hummed and said, "That's all?"
When Wen Chenruo saw Liu Chengfeng's expression was dull, he lost much interest and said, "What? Isn't my brother-in-law afraid?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always worried. What do I have to be afraid of?"
Wen Chenruo looked a little disappointed and could only say: "Okay, okay, okay, you are a gentleman, we are villains, you are not afraid, okay? To tell you the truth, at this time tomorrow, many people will go to watch the excitement.
I'll go tomorrow too, bringing melon seeds and other things..."
Liu Chengfeng was really speechless about this gossip girl. This little girl thought she was watching a movie and even brought melon seeds...
"However, there seem to be a lot of idle people in the capital. Could it be that some people really use Fireworks Alley as a theater? Whatever, they can just watch it if they want. Anyway, they won't lose a pound of my flesh." Liu Chengfeng thought to himself.
, In fact, if Dongchang made a move, he had expected it. If he didn't, it would be a damn thing. But he didn't expect that before Dongchang's move came out, these young men and ladies in the capital would get the news. It seems that this should be Dongchang's move.
The factory did this intentionally and first put pressure on itself.
With a share of nearly fifty thousand taels of silver every year, just for this, Liu Chengfeng has no way out. Even if he is willing to stop, the people below him will not agree. Since Dongchang wants to take action, he can only accompany him to the end.
