Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 18 Blackmail (5)

"In my opinion, one more thing is worse than one less thing." Mr. Hong twisted off his beard, frowned for a while, and then shook his head and said in a low voice: "This matter, look at the scheming, who knows the real force behind it is Which hand? How many hands were involved in the middle? Didn't Dong Weng say yesterday that the Huang family was blackmailed by others and served them with food and drink. It was the fifth prince's family, who was his family afraid of? Now when these dragons are competing for the throne, Dong Weng, it is better to be stupid than smart!"

Mr. Hong concluded meaningfully, and Guo Tuiguan nodded again and again: "Sir, what you said is very, very good! We only want to get a lottery, and the other side, who cares about his mother's hand! Let people fire some people." Refreshing dishes, let's have a good drink." Guo Tuiguan laughed, and sat down with Mr. Hong on the kang in the east chamber to drink.

A group of small and exquisite pavilions in the northeast corner of the lake behind the Qingfeng Building never entertain guests. At this moment, the window on the side of the Nuan Pavilion facing the lake is open, and a fishing rod is stretched out of the window into the lake, but it is swung to the east in a short while. , Swipe to the west in a while, there is no sense of fishing with peace of mind at all.

On the big kang under the window, Huang Jingjie, the proprietor of Qingfenglou and known as the No. [-] shopkeeper of the Huang family in Northwest China, picked up the purple sand pot with just boiling water, and slowly ordered a cup of tea.The fifth prince, Qin Ju, who was waving the fishing rod, threw the fishing rod casually, picked up the cup and smelled it, and took a deep breath of the rich tea fragrance in satisfaction.

"It's the third day that my uncle has been a director of the government office." Huang Jingjie's tone was easy-going and gentle, and the fifth prince said 'hmm', continued to appreciate the cup of tea, and took a sip carefully.

"The fourth master sent someone to look for you again this morning." Huang Jingjie continued, the fifth prince seemed not to hear, and took another sip of tea, narrowing his eyes and savoring it carefully. Huang Jingjie stopped talking and looked at it with a smile He drinks tea.

The fifth prince drank half a cup of tea, then put down the cup in satisfaction, leaned back on the thick soft cushion, crossed his legs, and swayed leisurely: "At this juncture, what can he do with me? A good thing? I don't even want a good thing."

"Master got a big deal this time."

"Yeah." The fifth prince put his hands behind his head, swayed his legs, looked up at Lingling Chengchen on the roof, and after a long while, he exhaled: "We are brothers, only the eldest brother is the most magnanimous." , life is best under his hands."

"That?" Just as Huang Jingjie opened his mouth, the fifth prince hurriedly interrupted: "Inaction is the most important thing, the sacred heart is unpredictable, my father is unpredictable, and the inside is unpredictable. With my status, unless I want to fight for the big position, Otherwise, what else is there to do? I have no desires and desires, why should I be their gunman? No matter whoever sits on it, no one can do without me as a prince! You earn your money, I enjoy my happiness, and don’t care about other things!"

Huang Jingjie smiled and shook her head: "We have helped this blackmail trend."

"It's different, it's not a help." The fifth prince hurriedly sat up and argued: "It's just pushing the boat along the way, and besides, this kind of tricky method of making a trap first and then letting the scoundrels go around everywhere is not in line with the temper of the elder brother. But it’s God’s will that Big Brother got such a huge advantage over this matter!”

"The person behind this, do you want someone to investigate?" Huang Jingjie asked with a smile, and the fifth prince waved his hand and said, "Why do you know so much? Don't care about other things."

Dongyang County King's Mansion is deep in the inner study in the innermost part of the garden. Dongyang County King Ye Lihai's face is ashen, standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back. Scoundrels, everyone said that they heard about Chang Heipi getting a shop, and wanted to try their luck. Even if they couldn't get a shop, it would be nice if they could get some money to spend a good year, but who knew those rascals actually got the money, Afterwards, there was a swarm of bees rushing up, fearing that the advantage would be taken by others, and they had to grab some advantage anyway, so the blackmail case was full of storms, and the case of Chang Heipi."

Ye Shusheng looked up at his father, and then continued: "Ji Changwen is really too careless. This case is absurd, and the verdict is even more absurd. It spreads very quickly in the market. The tabloids don't mention it in detail, and the people who talk about it in the tiles also use it." Talk about it like a hat, even those who are performing juggling and singing ditties, before the opening, they will say a few words about it, really, it has to make people feel bad, Ji Fu Yin is really...too careless."

Ye Lihai heaved a long sigh of resentment, turned around, looked at the eldest son Ye Shusheng, and said with grief: "Ji Changwen is too careless, but the cause of this matter... is because of such a trivial matter! This little petty profit has ruined our whole capital." Fu Yin! The entire yamen of the Beijing government! How much effort did I put in to get Lao Ji into this position, and it's only been less than a year! What an idiot! Idiot!" Ye Lihai roared.

Ye Shusheng frowned tightly, hanging his hands in annoyance and didn't dare to say much. Ye Lihai's chest heaved and fluctuated, and it took a long time to calm down. Even if you don't give up, it will be difficult for you to take on a big job in the future, so don't be too sorry for your father..."

"I don't feel sorry for him. It's the Yamen of the capital. The palace has handed over a letter just now. The governor of Quan Jingzhao's government has approved the uncle's book and appointed Hou Mingtai."

"Those people we recommended... aren't they busy for nothing?" Ye Shusheng said disappointedly, and Ye Lihai sighed deeply: "Uncle takes advantage of the official's punishment to act as an agent for the government affairs in the capital yamen these days. A lot of things happened..." Ye Lihai suddenly stopped talking, turned to look at Ye Shusheng and asked, "Did Wu Chenglin return the shop to the Li family?"

"It seems... my son didn't hear about it." Ye Shusheng hesitated, Ye Lihai punched the desk hard, gnashed his teeth and said: "He must have not returned it, this Wu Chenglin, he is really as stupid as a deer pig You go to Wen Guogong's mansion, go now, please see the eldest princess, let her return the shop to others! Such a blatant attempt to seize an orphan girl's property, she is really getting more and more shameless!" Ye Shusheng looked up The father with angry eyes swallowed, and with a bitter expression on his face, he had no choice but to agree.

Princess Ningguo was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. She pointed at her only son, Wen Guogong Wu Chenglin, who was standing in front of her with hands down, and cursed: "Where are your thoughts? Where are all your abilities going?" What's the difference between that shop and a pile of unowned silver? How could you be so stupid? Look at what you've done, you've put all your heart and soul into women's bellies!"

"Aniang, it's Ji Changwen's fault..." Wu Chenglin was not very afraid of Princess Ningguo, and couldn't help muttering, Princess Ningguo's face turned blue with anger, and grabbed the cup on the table next to Wu Chenglin's pocket He slammed his head over: "Bastard! You ruined other people's affairs, and you still don't reflect on yourself? The surname Ji lost his official position, and the Beijing Yamen changed owners. It's all because of you! It's you who caused the trouble, and you still don't think about it." Know?"

Wu Chenglin sideways dodged the teacup, this time he didn't dare to say anything, let Princess Ningguo scold nonstop with his hands down, Princess Ningguo scolded for a while, gasping for breath and pointing at Wu Chenglin, said: "Return the shop! "

"Auntie, I've taken it all, how can I pay it back?" Wu Chenglin said in great pain, and Princess Ningguo gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't want your life, you don't pay it back, you just keep it!"

"Aniang, I'm also doing it for the mansion. It's not like you don't know the situation in our mansion. That shop, you said a long time ago, is a cash cow! But it's only been a few days since we got it, and we haven't got a penny. See, you are willing to go back here? Besides, where did the money owed come from? This is the end of the year." Wu Chenglin couldn't bear to spit out what he had swallowed.

"Go back first!" Princess Ningguo looked at her son with hatred and gritted her teeth, "Dongyang County Prince's Mansion has spoken, and the Eldest Prince is sitting in the council of the mansion. Such a big incident has happened, and this case will not go unsolved." Li'er who came over, there was no one from the government office. It was because of my face. I can't keep the shop at this moment, so I will send it back today. Let's talk about it after the gust of wind. Don't worry, the shop will have to be named Wu sooner or later. !"

"Yes." Wu Chenglin reluctantly agreed.

Rong An Tang went around in a small circle, and then returned to Li Tian's hands. Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Sun Er led all the shopkeepers, and they were busy from the first midnight to the second midnight, before they were able to clear the messy shop inside and outside. After tidying up roughly, they had been busy for almost a day and a night, but neither of them felt sleepy, so they simply sent someone to buy a few dishes, warmed up a pot of wine and sat down for a small drink.

"In the past few days, I have walked back and forth on the edge of life and death." Shopkeeper Wang sighed with emotion as he sipped his wine loudly.

"No, Da Lang was frightened, and so was I. I really don't know how I got over this after going back and forth a few times, thanks to the boss." Shopkeeper Sun Er followed with emotion.

"No, it's not easy at such a young age. Her life is also very good. Who would have thought that this blackmail lawsuit would cause such a big disturbance. Just like that, the shop is back!" Shopkeeper Wang said. After taking a sip of the wine, he ate a piece of pork head with a smile on his face.

"Shopkeeper, to tell you the truth, my boss is simple but not simple. I don't care about this. I just want to show my loyalty to you and us. I will be with my boss for the rest of my life. You didn't know it when you were in prison. Dalang and I went to find the owner, and the owner just said, rescue you first, even if you lose the shop, you will be rescued. Tell me, how many employers can do this? Let’s put it bluntly, it’s dad Mother saved her son, so that's it? Just for this kind of loyalty, I will follow this boss!"

"Da Lang told me this, in my heart... well, I don't want to say this gratitude. I am also at this age. I want to say that I will follow you for a lifetime, but I can't follow you for a few years. When it comes to this, you have followed me I have been able to become an apprentice in these years, and I think that after the new year, I will find my boss to talk about letting you be the shopkeeper, and I will be the second shopkeeper for you for half a year, and then I will go back to the countryside to retire."

"Shopkeeper, what you say... I can't bear it..."

"Affordable, affordable, come and drink, our master and apprentice have been saying for so many years that master and apprentice are like father and son, this fate is rare..."
