Chapter 256: Stealing Business

Cui Mingqing's heart tightened, and Hua Yanran's words made him uneasy.

 He was entrusted with what happened today.

In order not to get into trouble for himself, he privately asked someone to check Bansidianxian and confirmed that the owner of Bansidianxian was just a businessman from out of town, so he should come down.

“What is the relationship between the princess and Half Day Leisure?”

Gu Huayu looked at Cui Mingqing, saw that he was slightly nervous, and said with a smile: "Is the relationship between diners OK?"

Cui Mingqing was obviously relieved, and immediately raised his official authority and said seriously: "Princess, this is a court, please speak seriously.

I still have a case to review, and I would like to ask the princess not to take up everyone's time and move outside the courtroom. "

After finishing speaking, Cui Mingqing said to the officer: "Why don't you invite the princess out?"

 Hey guys, we’re going to drive people away.

Without waiting for the bad service to approach, Gu Huayu leaned his lips and ridiculed: "Master Cui is really boring as the master of the county, and then wandered from Wutong Lane to the east of the city to see the Cui people judge the gourd case?"

Cui Mingqing frowned and asked, "Gourd case? What does the princess mean?"

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "It's nothing, even Mr. Cui doesn't understand.

 Tell Mr. Cui that this princess is the owner of a half-day free business. Mr. Cui, tell me, is this case related to this princess? Does this princess still need to move outside the court? "

The court fell silent again, and everyone looked at Gu Huayu in disbelief.

Gu Huayu looked at Cui Mingqing, whose face was extremely ugly, with a smile, and then said: "I want to see how Mr. Cui will judge Mr. Cui when he brings people to Half Day Leisure to cause trouble. ?”

As she said that, Gu Huayu stepped aside and said: "Qingyu, remember it for me, especially how Master Cui asked and how Shopkeeper Huang answered. Tomorrow, you come with me to the palace, and we will go to court." Let the emperor see what happened."

Qingyu leaned forward and responded: "Yes, Princess, don't worry, I have the best memory. I promise to write it down every word."

Gu Huayu suddenly felt that she was quite a villain when she looked at Cui Mingqing, who was livid with anger but could do nothing about her.

Gu Huayu was wondering if she should restrain herself?

The onlookers murmured, "Is this person really the princess? He is so courageous and has a perverse temperament."

“Princess Yanran grew up in the countryside, so it’s normal for her not to know etiquette.”

When Gu Huayu heard this, she smiled knowingly. As a person who grew up in the countryside, her true temperament was to do as she pleased. What should she restrain herself from?

Cui Mingqing never expected that Gu Huayu would be the boss who had only half-day free time. By accident, he seemed to be involved in the disputes between the Hua family...

 Gu Huayu said to Cui Mingqing with a half-smile, "Master Cui, let's get started. Let Shopkeeper Huang tell you how he framed me."

Cui Mingqing came back to his senses and said: "Princess, this is the court..."

Gu Huayu interrupted him: "I know, I know, this is Mr. Cui's territory. Shut up, Mr. Cui. Please ask Mr. Cui how shopkeeper Huang framed this? I am very curious."

Shopkeeper Huang knelt beside Han Shi, his head lowered and silent, feeling ashamed.

 He is an old man from Guiyun Pavilion, and Princess Yanran is the daughter of the head of the family. Yes, the head of the family, the only head of the house in his heart.

 When the head of the house was alive, he was just an errand boy, and the head of the house treated them very kindly.

 When he heard that the head of the family's daughter had returned and was made a princess by the emperor, he was so happy that he drank two more glasses of wine.

Zhang Zhi looked at Cui Mingqing, then at Gu Huayu, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Guiyun Pavilion is the Hua family's property. It's really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. One family doesn't know the other. Since it's all your Hua family's own Let’s talk about it slowly behind closed doors..."

Gu Huayu raised her voice and interrupted Zhang Zhi: "Master Zhang, what you said is wrong. Businessmen pay attention to one code and one code. Guiyun Pavilion is now in the hands of Commander Hua Ruiminghua, not in the hands of me, Hua Yanran. Dear Brothers have to settle accounts openly, not to mention that Commander Hua and I are not the same parents.

Since today's matter has come to the Yamen, Guiyun Pavilion must give an explanation in front of several adults.

If shopkeeper Huang can't make the decision, then send someone to ask Commander Hua to come over and ask Commander Hua to give an explanation. "

Shopkeeper Huang turned his head and looked behind him, his eyes fell on a man wearing a cigarette-ash gown, and asked: "Deputy Ambassador Yang, what do you think?"

 Everyone's eyes fell on Deputy Envoy Yang, waiting for his reply.

When Su Er saw Deputy Envoy Yang, his eyes dropped and his hands clenched tightly unconsciously.

Qingyu stood next to Su Er and turned around to ask him who this person was. He caught the coldness in Su Er's eyes and asked in a low voice, "What? Do you know him?"

Su Er nodded slightly and said two words: "enemy."

Qingyu said softly: "I know, let's talk about it later. As long as he is in the capital, we have plenty of time to take revenge."

Su Er nodded.

Deputy Ambassador Yang did not expect that half a day's leisure would be Hua Yanran's property. With Hua Yanran's special status, he knew that the adults present would not dare to judge the case randomly today.

Then Deputy Envoy Yang said: "The Commander-in-Chief is busy with official duties these days and has no time to come here. Shopkeeper Huang impulsively led people to look for him without understanding the whole story. It really shouldn't be the case."

 What happened today is that Guiyun Pavilion did something wrong, and we admit our mistake. Please propose conditions to the princess. As long as the conditions are reasonable, we will try our best to satisfy the princess. "

Gu Huayu narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that this person's position in Guiyun Pavilion was not low.

Gu Huayu knew in her heart that just this matter today would not bring down Guiyunge.

Since you can't defeat him, maximize the benefits, accept it as soon as it's good, and try this person's authority by the way.

Then he said: "First, let the people from Guiyun Pavilion clean it for half a day, and shopkeeper Han will tell you how clean it is.

 Second, because something happened in Guiyun Pavilion for no reason, it caused half a day's free time and was unable to do business normally. Based on the daily turnover of two thousand taels of silver, Guiyun Pavilion had to pay six thousand taels of silver for half a day's free time in three days.

Three, people from Guiyun Pavilion came to cause trouble today. Guiyun Pavilion will compensate the damaged household items according to the price. For the injured workers, Guiyun Pavilion will pay for medical expenses, nutrition expenses, and lost work expenses. "

Seeing Gu Huayu stop, Deputy Ambassador Yang asked: "Princess, are there any more?"

Gu Huayu said: "No, that's all."

Deputy Ambassador Yang nodded and said, "I agree."

Seeing that Deputy Envoy Yang agreed, Gu Huayu turned to Mu Zaixin and said, "Since Guiyun Pavilion has no objection to the conditions I proposed, please kindly ask Master Mu to write down a copy of the contract and keep it as a certificate."

 Mu Zaixin nodded in agreement.

Mu Zaixin wrote it in triplicate. Guiyun Pavilion, Banri Xian and the Yamen each held one copy.

Gu Huayu took the contract, glanced at it, and handed it to Han Shi, "Shopkeeper Han, keep it. You'll have to rely on it to get money later."

Deputy Ambassador Yang said: "There is no need for Shopkeeper Han to come to the door. Shopkeeper Huang will deliver the silver to the door tomorrow."

Gu Huayu looked at Deputy Envoy Yang, but did not answer. She turned to Cui Mingqing and others and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. I was deeply impressed by the deceitful practices of these soldiers. I have learned from you today. Farewell!" "

Zhang Zhi looked at Gu Huayu's leaving figure and murmured: "Princess Yanran, it's not easy!"

Mu Zaixin took over the words, "Guiyunge asked for one thousand five hundred taels of silver. The princess turned around and asked for six thousand taels of silver. Her tone was so strong that there was no room for negotiation. A little girl, where does she get the confidence?"

 Zhang Zhi looked at Cui Mingqing and said, "We all underestimated her."

Cui Mingqing nodded, "A girl who has not yet had her hair cut off can handle herself in court. How many people can do that?"

Zhang Zhi said quietly: "I have to tell my family when I go back to be more polite when meeting this princess in the future."

Gu Huayu led everyone out and said to Han Shi: "Let everyone take three days off. We will let everyone come back after the people from Guiyunge have cleaned up the shop."

Han Shi nodded in agreement, turned around and gave orders to everyone.

Gu Huayu turned around to talk to Su Er, and saw Su clenching her hands and staring at Deputy Ambassador Yang and his party.

Gu Huayu frowned and said, "Know?"

Su Er nodded, and Gu Huayu took a look at the people in Guiyun Pavilion. Among the group of people, Deputy Ambassador Yang and Shopkeeper Huang were the older ones, and the rest were mostly in their teens or 20s.

He asked: "Who do you know? Shopkeeper Huang and Deputy Envoy Yang?"

Su Er bit his back teeth and whispered, "Yang Jian."

Gu Huayu looked at Yang Jian, who was wearing a smoky gray gown. He was of medium height and thin, and was not conspicuous in the crowd.

Just when Gu Huayu was confused, Su Er said: "Yang Ji'an used to be someone close to my brother, and my brother trusted him very much."

Gu Huayu's eyes darkened and she turned to look over. Yang Jian had already mounted the horse and was about to leave.

Gu Huayu stared at Yang Jian and asked, "Is he from Su Xing?"

Su Er saw Yang Ji'an was leaving and planned to chase after him, but was caught by Gu Huayu.

Su Er turned around and looked at Gu Huayu, "Princess, please follow me and have a look."

Gu Huayu shook her head, "No, your mood is wrong. Let Qingyu follow him. Since this man is in the capital, he can't run away, so don't worry for a while. Let's go back and discuss it."

Qingyu said: "Listen to the princess, you go back first, and I will follow you to take a look."

Su Er nodded.

When they returned to Wutong Lane, it was already dark. Gu Huayu went to take a shower, and Liao Dong came over and said, "Princess, Su Er and the others are waiting for you to have dinner."

Gu Huayu nodded and walked towards the dining room.

 After dinner, Gu Huayu and her group went to the study.

Wang Gu asked about things in the east of the city, and Han Shi gave a brief summary.

 Gu Huayu's eyes fell on Su Er and asked, "How much do you know about Yang Jian's situation?"

Su Er shook his head, "I was young at that time and didn't know much. Deputy Ambassador Yang is Yang Ji'an, absolutely right."

"We haven't seen each other for fifteen or sixteen years. How can you be sure that Deputy Ambassador Yang is Yang Ji'an?" Qing Yu asked.

Su Er replied: "There is a mole under the right corner of his mouth. I can recognize it at a glance."

Gu Huayu nodded and asked, "Do you remember how long ago he came to work with Su Xing?"

Su Er shook his head and said, "As long as I can remember, Yang Jian has been by my brother's side."

Qingzhu said: "Qingyu is back."

 Everyone looked at the door. Qingyu entered the room and greeted everyone.

Gu Huayu asked: "You haven't eaten yet? Go and eat first."

Qingyu shook his head, "No, I'll squat at the door of Huafu to keep watch. The younger one ate a bowl of noodles at a roadside noodle shop."

Su Er asked: "Does Yang Jian live in Huafu?"

Qingyu shook his head, "No, he lives in the back alley between Baokangmen Wangxiang Mansion and Li Mansion."

Gu Huayu said in surprise: "He lives over at Baokangmen?"

Qingyu nodded, "Yes, I followed him all the way. Yang Ji'an first went to the Huafu on West Street. He stayed in the Huafu for about two quarters of an hour. After leaving the Huafu, he went to the backstreet of Baokangmen. lane."

Han Shi said: "Baokangmen is not close to West Street. He obeys Hua Ruiming's orders. Wouldn't it be more convenient to live here on West Street?"

Wang Qin nodded and said, "Yes. Why did you live in the Baokangmen area? Are there branches of Guiyun Pavilion and Baofeng Bank near Baokangmen?"

Qingzhu thought for a while and shook his head, "No, the closest one is Baofeng Bank on Maxing Street."

Qing Yu took the words and said, "In terms of distance, West Street is closer to Maxing Street. Why would he sacrifice the near for the far?"

Wang Qin said: "Good question, why does he want to go far away instead of the near? It's unreasonable."

Gu Huayu said, "Starting tomorrow, let people keep an eye on you."

Su Er nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

Wang Qin said: "With this commotion today, everyone knows that half a day's leisure belongs to the princess. Let's be more cautious in the future."

Gu Huayu nodded, "Yes, it's always better to be cautious."

Hua Mansion, after Yang Ji'an left, Hua Ruiming fell into deep thought. He asked people to check for a long time, but they couldn't find out who the owner of Half Day Leisure was. He never expected that Half Day Leisure was owned by that stinky girl.

 In a short period of time, she opened more than ten houses in the capital, all of which were located near Guiyun Pavilion.

 Why did she do this? What does she want to do?

Mrs. Liu saw that her son had not gone to eat, so she came to the front yard.

“You are here, where is Brother Ming?” asked Liu.

An Xu leaned back and said, "Go back to me, Madam, I'm in the house."

Mrs. Liu glanced at the study and asked, "Brother Ming is meeting guests?"

An Xu shook his head and said, "No, I am alone in the house."

"A person is in the house? What happened?" Mrs. Liu said and went into the house.

An Xu replied: "I don't know. After Deputy Yang left, I was going to go in and clean up, but I sent him out."

Liu pushed the door open and went in. There was no light in the room, and the dark room made people's eyes dark. "Why don't you light the light? An Xu, come in and light the light."

Ms. Liu walked to the desk and saw her son sitting back in the chair by the light of An Xu's lighter, looking at her blankly. Mrs. Liu's heart tightened and she asked, "Brother Ming, what's wrong with you?"

Hua Ruiming said confusedly: "What is she going to do?"

Mrs. Liu was stunned and asked: "Who wants to do anything? Ziqiu? What do you care about what she does? Just let her be happy. I tell you, don't always protect Chen Xue. The more you protect Chen Xue, the more Ziqiu will The resentment in my heart is getting heavier.”

Lu Ziqiu went to Yulan Lane again in the afternoon to find trouble with Chen Xue, and learned that Chen Xue had sold the house.

Lu Ziqiu thought Hua Ruiming had hidden Chen Xue, so he lost his temper when he returned to the house and went to bed without eating supper.

Hua Ruiming shook his head, "I'm not talking about Ziqiu, but Yanran."

Mrs. Liu sat down and asked, "What happened to Nizi? What did she do?"

Hua Ruiming told Mr. Liu about what he had to do during the half day.

Mrs. Liu straightened her back when she heard this, and asked with a frown: "What is she going to do? She has opened so many shops, and they are all located near Guiyun Pavilion. Isn't it obvious that she wants to compete with our Guiyun Pavilion for business?" ?
