Chapter 817 Tough
"Okay." Xia Zijin stretched her body and sat up.

The cook from the imperial dining room quickly came over with food. There were eight dishes in total, and the table was full. Xiaokui wanted to serve her, but was dismissed by Xia Shengqing.

Xia Zijin looked at him in surprise, and saw that he was holding a bowl to serve him vegetables, and his heart was warm and tight.It took her a long time to recover, she pursed her lips and smiled, picked up the hibiscus peach blossom whitebait in the bowl with silver chopsticks, and bit it down.

For a moment, Xia Zijin squinted her eyes and smiled contentedly.Thinking that she worked so hard to fight for the throne back then, it wasn't just for this day, to have dinner with her favorite person in peace.

The capital city is very peaceful, but the floating city far away in the south of the Yangtze River is currently in a state of chaos.Yang Que sent a letter to invite Yu Chengshan, but the result was the same, he replied angrily and went to Wu Youwei to discuss the matter.

He originally thought that Wu Youwei would get angry, but who knew that after he read the letter, the expression on his face didn't change. Instead, he stuffed the letter in his sleeve and waved him out.Yang Qin's breath was stuck in his chest, he couldn't get out and he couldn't get down, he felt very uncomfortable.

Biansheng encountered such an incident at this moment, and he felt nauseated in his heart, and immediately mistakenly thought that Wu Youwei was actually just pretending, and he couldn't help sighing after returning to the room.

At this moment, Yu Chengshan was surrounded by a group of hidden guards with knives. His face was ashen, and he wanted to shout, but the cold eyes of the people in front of him told him clearly that if he dared to shout indiscriminately, they would not mind sending him away hit the road.

Yu Chengshan has been rampant in this floating city for so many years, and this is the first time someone came to deal with him.He couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and trembled twice, "This...what the hell is going on? Who are you?"

"Patriarch Yu just go with us." The dark guard looked at his bloated figure, then thought that although this man was the richest man in Fucheng, he was a rich and heartless person, so he lost his patience and carried him out of Yu Mansion quickly.

From the beginning to the end, none of the servants were alarmed.Yu Chengshan has lived most of his life and has never been carried out like this, but now he can't care about being angry, instead he is full of fear, his face is pale, afraid that the person who is holding him will lose the strength and throw him down .

When he landed, just as he opened his legs, his feet softened, and he knelt down on the ground. There was a turbid yellow liquid dripping from between his legs.

Wu Youwei pushed open the door, and what he saw was his unpromising appearance. He smiled coldly, and turned to look at the young man standing beside him, "Take Master Yu down to wash and clean, change into clean clothes, and bring him Come see me, sir."

Yang Que was still mourning in the room when the door was knocked loudly.He was startled, thinking that something happened in the city again, he quickly opened the door, and saw the excited face of the boy who usually served him personally, "Master, the adults in the capital have invited the old man from the Yu family."

"Please come, please come, you are making such a fuss..." Yang Qin said casually, halfway through speaking, he suddenly reacted, grabbed the boy's arms with his palms and shook them vigorously, "What did you just say?"

The little servant was dizzy from his shaking, and insisted: "It's the old man of the Yu family, and he's in the mansion right now."

There was no respect in his tone, who told Yu Chengshan not to give face to his family in the past, he hated that Yu Chengshan in his heart, thinking that he just saw that Yu Chengshan was framed by someone, he left When I passed by, it was impossible to pretend that I didn't smell the smell.

That old guy, at such an old age, actually wet his pants, just thinking about it makes him feel very excited.He must have been frightened by the imperial envoy from the capital.The boy's eyes were full of gloating, but he didn't even have any sympathy.

Yu Chengshan was grabbed and washed like a puppet on a string, and then brought to Wu Youwei. He watched all the way, and finally understood his situation. The person who came was not a bandit, and his heart that had been raised in his throat finally fell back into his stomach.

"May I ask who this lord is..." Yu Chengshan cupped his hands in a salute, and asked cautiously, but he already had a guess in his heart.

"Master Yu, why bother to ask, I must have already guessed it. Earlier when I invited you here, he said it was because of a headache and physical discomfort. Now, it looks like you have a rosy face. Is your disease cured?" Wu Youwei looked at it with a sneer he.

Yu Chengshan had never been pressed like this before, so he couldn't answer with a dry smile.

"Why don't you speak? Could it be that you feel that this official is not worthy of questioning you?" Wu Youwei didn't intend to give him a chance to breathe at all, and one mountain after another directly covered his head, urging him to speak clearly.

Sweat dripped from Yu Chengshan's forehead one by one, and only then did he realize that the officials from the capital were very different from those from the floating city.Looking at this posture, it is obvious that they are here to settle accounts.While he was in a state of anxiety, he saw the dark guards carrying the heads of other wealthy households in the city over.

Seeing that they were all as frightened as he was, Yu Chengshan couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart. There were no other people around him when he came, and no outsiders saw his embarrassing appearance.From this point of view, the imperial envoy still saved face for him.

Wu Youwei noticed his slightly grateful expression, and laughed sarcastically from the bottom of his heart. This man is really a bitch. He invited him here with a good voice, but he was putting on airs. Later, he was brought here directly, and he just kept some Face, he was very grateful.

When Yang Que rushed over, he saw such a scene. Wu Youwei was sitting at the head of the room, drinking tea slowly, while the left and right sides were full of wealthy merchants in the floating city, all with expressions Uneasy.

Seeing how this group of people shrunk in front of Wu Youwei, Yang Que was surprised, but even more happy.

"My lord, this is..." Yang Que stepped forward to salute respectfully, and asked Wu Youwei's intentions.

Wu Youwei smiled slightly, "Can't you see? I'm inviting you gentlemen to drink tea, and by the way, let me talk about the disaster situation in this floating city. Speaking of which, the current emperor is a woman, and she is the most unruly. Officials can do things conveniently."

The implication is that he has the right to kill first and play later. All the merchants present trembled and subconsciously touched the head that was still on the neck.

"In the last snow disaster, the Shen family was the richest man in Dalai Lai, but they donated nearly one-third of their family property." Wu Youwei mentioned this as if he didn't mean to, with eyes full of admiration, "Now the Shen family is an imperial merchant. You Although they are rich, they are not benevolent, so it is only natural that this business cannot get out of the floating city."

Being pointed and scolded in front of their faces, this group of wealthy households couldn't sit still anymore, and said with a smirk, "My lord, what are you talking about? His Shen family has a big business, so donating some is naturally not a hindrance. I waited for the money to be limited, but there was nothing I could do."

"Whether you have no choice or you don't want to, you know." Wu Youwei interrupted them impatiently, "But after all, it is your family property, and I have no right to plunder it. If not, it would be an act of robbers. "

He glanced at the crowd lightly, and saw that they really showed a relieved expression, and slowly raised the corners of his lips, "It's just that you don't pay for the money, but you have to pay for the power. I will go back to the county to provide disaster relief. You guys come along with me."

In a word, their faces suddenly changed, showing embarrassment.This disaster relief is hard work. They are used to being pampered and pampered in the mansion. It is tiring to go out for two steps. If they follow the disaster relief, they may die before they go.

Moreover, epidemics often occur after the disaster. If they contract the plague, they will really die.

One by one, they all resisted very much in their hearts.Yu Chengshan opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Wu Youwei didn't plan to give him a chance to speak, and instead ordered the servants around him, "Go and tell the family members of the masters, just say that in the past few days, the masters They all stay in the mansion to discuss the disaster situation with this official, so that they don't have to worry too much."

"Let's go now, little one." The boy likes to see them deflated, and go out in high spirits.

The words that came out of Yu Chengshan's mouth suddenly felt like being crumpled and stuffed back, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.He gritted his teeth, looked at the eyes staring at him from left and right, and was about to speak cheekily again.

But Wu Youwei seemed to deal with him on purpose, he seized the opportunity, and said one step ahead of him: "Masters are sitting here, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you, and I will discuss with you when I come back. Itinerary issue."

Yu Chengshan was like punching cotton. If he hadn't been sober and knew the identity of the person opposite, he wouldn't be able to help but yell at him right now.

After Wu Youwei left, the wealthy households who had been sitting on the chairs couldn't sit still any longer, and they all came to Yu Chengshan one by one, and asked anxiously, "Master Yu, what should I do? "

But Wu Youwei, who went to the back room, didn't actually go far away, and kept watching them secretly. When he saw them discussing together, he didn't go forward, but actually turned and left.On the contrary, Yang Que saw that he really left people there, and couldn't help showing worry, "My lord, is that all?"

"That's it." Wu Youwei nodded affirmatively, "You send people to watch the doors of the mansion tightly, and don't let them escape. If one escapes, I will question you."

At the end of the words, Wu Youwei's expression turned serious, Yang Que's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded quickly, promising that he would be optimistic.

His act of arresting all the rich and powerful people in the mansion was quickly impeached by the doctor Yu Shi and handed over to Xia Zijin's desk.Xia Zijin just glanced at it, then smashed the memorial back, "Look at the god you wrote yourself."

Doctor Yu Shi who was standing below was stunned. He looked at her blankly, and saw a sharp expression on Xia Zijin's face, "If these iron cocks are not tough, tell me, how can you tell them to take it?" The money came out? Since you said Wu Youwei did not do well, why don't you go?"
