As the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the earth, the heavy rain that had fallen all night finally stopped. The half-covered tea house was now in ruins. Yuan Xudong comforted him for a long time, and Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang finally recovered from their loss.

The house collapsed, and the floor was full of broken furniture, calligraphy, paintings, and broken porcelain pieces. After rummaging through the ruins and finding a few intact famous porcelain pieces, Yuan Xudong and others began to walk toward Osmanthus Alley.

At the same time, at the Bianhe Wharf, the water continued to lap against the bank of the wharf. Chi Yanei, who was in a state of embarrassment, along with He Si, Lu Wu and others, were dejectedly cleaning up the mud on the river bank. The wharf behind him was already in ruins.

The ground is full of chaos.

At this moment, Kaifeng government leader Ren Jiang came to the dock with several followers. Looking at the messy dock and the dozens of merchant ships destroyed by the hurricane, he shouted with a gloomy look:

"Who's in charge here?"

In front of Ren Jiang, Chi Yanei lost his usual arrogance and unruliness. He bowed down and bowed very respectfully:

"Chi Pan, see Ren Tidian!"

"Are you Chi Pan?"

"yes!"

Looking at the respectful Chi Yanei, Ren Jiang pointed at him with a riding whip and lectured him:

"Is this how you want to be a pier leader? You are usually asked to reinforce the pier, but you all turn a deaf ear to it. Now, how can I explain to my boss that the wind and rain have ruined it like this?"

Although Chi Yanei often does nothing, he still does things seriously when he should do things. Otherwise, he would not clean up the dock with his people, and he was in a mess. The storm last night was really too big, almost

It only happens once in decades. No matter how hard he reinforces the pier, it will still have to be destroyed. Therefore, Chi Yanei couldn't help but say:

"Be careful, last night was not just a little bit of wind and rain, it was decades of trouble."

"How dare you talk back?"

Seeing that Chi Pan dared to contradict him, Ren Jiang's eyes turned cold and he whipped him with the riding crop in his hand.

After all, Chi Yanei is also the head of the twelve trading houses in Tokyo, and he is also a well-known figure in Tokyo. He is naturally a little arrogant, but now he is beaten by Ren Jiang in public. In a moment of anger, he grabbed Ren Jiang's wrist and said angrily

:

"What do you want to do?"

Compared with Chi Yanei, although Ren Jiang was extremely arrogant and had a fierce face, his body was not that good. He only wore a layer of tiger skin on his body, but he was able to intimidate dozens or hundreds of people under Chi Yanei.

They all knelt on the ground and remained silent.

At this time, Ren Jiang was grabbed by the wrist by the angry Chi Yanei. Not only did Ren Jiang not panic, but he smiled coldly:

"How dare you disobey me? Don't forget, I am an official and you are a pariah. Kneel down!"

Chi Yanei was filled with fear. The people did not want to fight with the officials. He hesitated for a long time and glanced at Ren Tidian, who had a sinister face. Finally, he knelt in front of Ren Jiang. There was gold under the man's knees, but even if there were mountains of gold and silver,

, can't erase today's shame. He often hears from his subordinates that people don't fight with officials. Just before today, he was prosperous in Tokyo, spreading money widely, and those high-ranking officials also gave him a little favor.

, but he didn't really understand until now. As long as others don't give him Chi Yanei face, no matter how much money he has, it will be useless. Just a reminder can step him into the dust and make him have no dignity.

Word.

Seeing that Chi Yanei really knelt down, his subordinates He Si, Lu Wu and others immediately knelt even lower, almost bowing to the ground. Ren was extremely proud of the point. Chi Yanei was the head of the twelve guilds in Tokyo.

Tokyo is also a famous person, but what is the result?

Not only did he kneel in front of him, just like those ordinary untouchables, he not only asked Chi Yanei to honor him, but also asked him to kneel on the ground and honor him respectfully. He wanted him to understand that he was not asking him for money, but

It was he who begged himself to give money and understand who was the master and who was the servant.

Chi Yanei led He Si, Lu Wu and others to kneel in the mud. There were a large number of heads, almost two hundred people. Ren Jiang stood in front of them, with only three or four followers behind him.

The weak and frail appearance of the people with wine bags and rice bags is in sharp contrast to the people under Chi Yanei who often work. This is also a microcosm of the Song Dynasty court. The strong people are all working, and the inferior people are unable to tie the chicken.

Weak and weak scholars who are powerful are the superior people, and only those who are inferior in everything are good at reading. This is also deliberately done by the ruling class in order to maintain the system and fear that the people below will rebel.

They thought they could make their rule last forever, but unexpectedly, in the end, they were not overthrown by their own family, but were driven out and killed by outsiders. The emperor, the concubines in the harem, and the princesses and daughters, etc., were all reduced to the lowest level.

Lowly slaves, if these rulers only brought their own fault, the ordinary people suffered miserably from them. How prosperous Tokyo is today will be how miserable it will be after it is conquered by foreign enemies in the future. Burning, killing, looting, and rape will be just like

living hell.

At this time, Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er and others walked over from a distance. When they passed near the pier, they saw many people gathering together. Yuan Xudong and others took a curious look and saw that the usually idle Chiyanei was kneeling in the mud.

, behind him were one or two hundred servants kneeling, and a black-faced ghost in official uniform stood in front of them. He looked so majestic. If he hadn't seen the idiot emperor, Yuan Xudong would have thought he was the emperor.

I saw Ren Tidian scolding Chi Yanei arrogantly, his face was ferocious and twisted, and he said viciously:

"Aren't you known as the head of the Twelve Banks? How come you can't even manage a dock? On weekdays, your tail is almost up to the sky. I think you are worse than a dog. Young Master Thirteen, I think you will be called Shi from now on.

Three dogs are ready!"

Hearing Ren Jiang insulting him so viciously, Chi Yanei dared not speak out. He knelt in the mud and listened, holding his hands tightly together. He Si and Lu Wu knelt together, watching Ren Jiang

I stepped into the mud in my own Yameni. I was angry, but I didn't even dare to say a word out loud. I just knelt on the ground and whispered:

"I'm just reminding you that we didn't give you enough red envelopes last time, so we came here to find trouble!"

At this time, Ren Tidian pointed his riding whip at Chi Yanei and lectured:

"The most despicable among scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants are you businessmen. You are full of male thieves and female prostitutes, and none of them are good!"

"Calm down your anger, I'll take people to repair the pier right now!"

Chi Yanei really didn't want to be embarrassed here anymore, so he wanted to get up and repair the pier, but he was still dissatisfied with his attitude toward him. He wanted Chi Yanei to kneel at his feet like a local dog, instead of just compromising.

, he wanted to completely trample Chi Yanei's dignity into the dust so that he could correct his attitude. With this thought in his mind, Ren Tidian used his muddy boots to kick Chi Yanei to the ground who was about to get up.

Arrogantly and domineeringly said:

"Who are you? You dare to do this to me in front of me? If you can't fix it before tonight, you will come to see me tomorrow!"

Chi Yanei had endured his anger for so long. Although he did not dare to resist Ren Tidian, he could not help but said angrily:

"Even if you kill me, I won't be able to repair the dock today!"

Seeing that Chi Yanei still dared to quarrel with him, Ren Tidian couldn't help but became furious. He turned around and took out the saber from his entourage's waist, struck it on Chi Yanei's neck and said:

"I will send you to the West now!"

Seeing Ren Ti slightly using the knife, the people watching were startled, and Chi Yanei was also frightened to death. Although He Si, Lu Wu and others were timid, they were loyal to Chi Yanei and they did not dare to resist the court officials.

, he could only throw himself at Ren Tidian’s feet, kowtow in the mud and beg for mercy.

"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

"Just a reminder, please let our office go!"

"To remind you, spare our yameni, spare our yameni!"

At this time, Chi Yanei was really scared, and he murmured begging for mercy:

"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Seeing that there was no trace of pride and unyielding in Chiya, Ren Tidian smiled disdainfully. He was just trying to scare the other party. How could he kill people at will in front of so many people?

However, although Chi Yameni surrendered, he has not yet completely surrendered. Only by stepping into the mud, leaving him with no dignity and no reputation, can he surrender like a dog, knowing how to listen to his master's reprimands and not dare to

Resist again.

Looking at Chi Yanei who was kneeling on the ground, Ren Tidian put his foot on his shoulder very viciously and said jokingly:

"Come on, lick my boots clean and I will spare your life!"

Maybe he was really frightened by Ren's suggestion, or maybe he was trying to endure the humiliation and bear the burden. Chi Yanei hesitated for a moment, but in front of so many people, he actually wanted to lick the cock covered in smelly mud.

Boots, at this time, Zhao Paner's slightly cold voice came out from the crowd:

"Chi Pan, you useless thing, if you can stretch your neck and let him chop it, if you don't wait for three days, I bet he will have to go to the underworld to play with you!"

Zhao Paner emerged from the crowd, and seeing her ruining his good deeds, Ren Tidian said with a sinister look on his face:

"Where did you come from? You are talking nonsense here!"

"Am I talking nonsense?"

With Yuan Xudong's secret support, Zhao Pan'er was naturally not afraid of Ren Tidian. Her teahouse had just been destroyed, and she had no place to vent her anger. She saw Ren Tidian bully others and wantonly insult those who did business. Wouldn't that mean she should be punished too?

Did you get scolded?

With something to rely on in his heart, Zhao Paner looked at Ren Tidian and said unyieldingly:

"I dare to ask, what authority does a person in charge of river affairs have to kill people in the street without trial? Does it mean that he does not take the laws of the country and the court into consideration?"

Ren Tidian's eyes flickered and he forcefully explained:

"He delayed river affairs, so I can certainly punish him!"

Looking at Ren Tidian with evasive eyes, Zhao Paner smiled and said:

"The so-called dock leader is just the leader of the folk walking tour. The cleaning and maintenance of the dock, the dredging and repair of the river are supposed to be your responsibilities. When will it be our common people's turn? Chi Yanei is willing to help.

That is because he is grateful for the emperor's kindness and serving the imperial court. What do you mean by pointing fingers and making irresponsible remarks?"

"Be bold!"

Zhao Pan'er was so rebuffed that she had nothing to say. Ren Tidian could only show off her authority, but Zhao Pan'er was not afraid at all. She held her chest with both hands and said rather willfully:

"I'm going to be bold. Anyway, I'm very unlucky today, so I'm just going to tell you what I want to say. You said that the lowest people among scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants are merchants. If you have the ability, don't drink the wine sold by the merchants, don't wear the clothes of the merchants, and don't wear the clothes of the merchants."

Eat the food transported by merchants. There is no farmland in Tokyo. Apart from scholars, most of the people standing here are businessmen of all sizes. While they are working hard to repair the river, what are you doing? Bullying the people and showing off your power.
