"There is no need to disturb the prefect Wang for the time being!" Chai Shouli interrupted everyone, "Let me go and see what's going on outside!"

The ten old men came out of the veranda and immediately went up to the tower of the wine shop, holding on to the railings and looking out into the courtyard. They saw thousands of people outside the courtyard wall surrounding the wine shop.

These people include men and women, old and young, some have broken arms and legs, some are shirtless, and most of them are middle-aged women with rolling pins.

The huge wine shop was surrounded by an airtight seal. People kept shouting and cursing in such a chaotic manner that they could not be heard clearly. Most of them had nothing nice to say. What was even more worrying was that there was a queue of people in the distance gathering towards the wine shop. In an instant, thousands of people were rushing towards the wine shop.

There were tens of thousands of people.

"The dog officer is on top of the tower!" I don't know who shouted, and then a half-grown man took pebbles and threw them towards the tower. The crackling was like rain.

Although no one was hurt, ten people were so frightened that they ducked away from the railing, still refusing to give in. Wang Fu was so angry that he stamped his feet, "These untouchables are going to rebel, and they dare to hold Sikong hostage. Don't panic, Sikong, I believe the people on the boat are

People have already gone to notify the government. My son knows that Sikong is here and will come to rescue him quickly."

Chai Shouli was not afraid of what the people outside would do to him. What he was afraid of was that Chai Rong knew that he had come to Kaifeng. Don't think that he was arrogant in Luoyang in the name of the emperor's biological father, but he was the only one who knew the difference between father and son.

There is no emotion at all.

At that time, Queen Sheng Mu brought a lot of private houses with her from the palace, nearly half of which ended up in Chai Shouli's pocket. It was Chai's thanks for the subsidy for raising Chai Rong. To put it bluntly, Chai Rong was sold by him.

.

After Chai Rong adopted Chai Rong, father and son often met each other, but Chai Rong never called him "sir" again. After Guo Wei became emperor, the father and son lost contact with each other. The only communication in these years was the reward given by Chai Rong after he ascended the throne.

His edict shows that Chai Rong was extremely taboo about him.

It was just that he had acted recklessly in Luoyang, and now he had come to Kaifeng to be embarrassed. With Chai Rong's strong and proud character, he would definitely regard it as a great shame and a great humiliation. He didn't know how he would be dealt with. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

"In the worst case, we can return the business to Xu, and we'll go back to Luoyang right now."

Han's father said: "Sikong is talking nonsense. There is no reason to spit out the food you eat. This is the emperor's feet. You are the emperor's biological father. If you are threatened by a group of untouchables, wouldn't it be ridiculous? I don't think these untouchables have anything to do with it.

Don't be brave, otherwise you would have rushed in long ago. Just wait and wait, Kaifeng Mansion will definitely take care of it."

The military family members did not have the courage, but they were restrained by Lao Zhang's orders. More and more people gathered, and there were already twenty or thirty thousand people, but they still had no intention of giving up, and more and more people flocked to Happy Forest.

Unlike the last time when the tea was robbed, they were crying and sold out. The women were holding rolling pins in an aggressive manner, and the half-grown men were filled with righteous indignation with their father and brother's weapons. Those who didn't know it thought they were going to fight.

Although it happened in the outer city, the Kaifeng government office had already been alarmed by such an outcry. Wang Pu, who was working in the government office, was shocked when he heard the news. At first, he thought someone was going to rebel. He heard that it was only women and half-grown children who were responsible for the attack.

Feeling relieved, he immediately sent someone to find out the cause.

As soon as the officer left the house, Chai Shouli's entourage came up to him. When he heard the whole story, Wang Pu wanted to spit out blood. His father was among the ten grandfathers. How could he not know that they planned to take over the business of new wine in Luoyang?

.

This is not something Wang Pu can decide alone. Based on his understanding of Xu Xian, this person is a contradictory person, combining gentleness and loyalty with ruthlessness and cunning. As long as he is not forced into a desperate situation, he will probably give in for Chai Rong's sake.

, Luoyang has a large population and many rich people, so the cake is big enough for everyone to share.

I never expected that these old men were so greedy that they wanted to steal all the business. Xu Xian was an easy man to deal with. He was rich in wealth and had military power. He had won several wonderful battles in a row, and now he had quite a bit of prestige in the army.

, tear off the cloak of gentleness and loyalty, and you will be a man-eating hungry wolf.

These ten old men were so ignorant. But then I thought that the ten people had always avoided Kaifeng. If they would not come to Kaifeng without someone's encouragement, someone must have instigated them. Suddenly, I remembered what Han Lingkun told him when he went to court two days ago.

After a few vague words, I immediately figured it out.

He cursed Han Lingkun in his heart, but he had to send someone to inform him to go to the palace to report to Chai Rong. He quickly rushed to Happy Forest with the soldiers and horses of Kaifeng Mansion.

When we first arrived at the west gate, we found that it was already completely blocked. We had to walk half a circle out of the south gate before we arrived at the Happy Forest. I only took a glance at it from a distance, but it was so dark that I couldn't even see the end of it. I was afraid there were five people there.

Sixty thousand people.

Looking at the people who were still arriving one after another, Wang Pu felt chills in his heart. He could see that these people were all military dependents. Ordinary people did not have weapons. A careless move would lead to catastrophe, and it would not necessarily happen if the dynasty changed.

If it happens, maybe we will settle the score with him later.

Under the scorching sun, Wang Pu was already sweating profusely. He casually grabbed a woman and asked knowingly: "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do in such a hurry?"

The woman replied: "I recognize you. You are the prefect Wang who built our house last year. You have found a good official. The prefect Wang can make decisions for the women!"

No matter how dirty there is behind the scenes, Wang Pu's job as the prefect of Kaifeng is quite passable and he has a good reputation.

"Sister-in-law, get up and tell me what you have to say!"

"My winery in Happy Forest was robbed!" Although she only invested a certain amount of shares, it still did not prevent the sister-in-law from showing her sense of ownership and treating the entire winery as her own.

"Does the winery in Happy Forest belong to your family?"

The woman nodded solemnly, "In my family, the men in my family earn their salary either by visiting brothels or drinking. I have saved a lot of money through frugality. I heard people say that I can divide the money by joining a wine shop and doing stock trading.

, I gritted my teeth for a while. Last month, I got more than six thousand yuan from half-year dividends. The men in my family don’t have such a salary, it’s just like a dream.

Someone came to my house just now and said that I, a high-ranking official, took advantage of his power and robbed the wine shop. If we don't take it back now, we won't get any dividends. The prefect is a good official, but he has to make the decision for us!"

"So all these people have shares in the wine shop?"

"They should be all, otherwise who would come here on a hot day? I heard that our Hu Jie Army alone has 20,000 households as shareholders, and the Long Jie Army's should be about the same!"

"Mommy, don't delay any longer!" A young man grabbed the woman and waved the short gun in his hand and said: "You don't need to be an official. Anyone who dares to rob our winery, I will stab his throat!"

"

Wang Pu shuttled through the crowd like crazy, and after going around and around for a long time, he finally found the door of Xu Xian's house. However, the door here was closed, and no matter how loud he shouted, he would not open the door.

Several servants simply built a human body and sent Wang Pu up the wall. The wall of Xu Xian's house was built very high. Wang Pu held on to the wall with his hands for a long time before jumping down, and he fell to his feet.

Just as he was about to stand up, he saw a pair of feet beside him, and a lazy voice said: "Prefect Wang is such a rare visitor, why would you climb the wall when there is a main entrance?"

Wang Pu raised his head and saw Xu Xian standing in front of him, holding a tea bowl in his hand, and said with a smile: "I have a few new cans of good tea here. Magistrate, come with me to the hall to have a taste."

Wang Pu said angrily: "It's going crazy outside, how can you still drink tea here...you!"

Xu Xian didn't say anything at all, turned around and went straight into the hall, poured a bowl of tea from the teapot and said: "Prefect Wang, please!"

Wang Pu brought it over and drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, jumped on his feet and said, "What on earth do you want, Marquis Yu!"

Xu Xian pretended to be confused and said: "What does Wang Zhifu mean? Xian doesn't understand!"

"You asked knowingly, I asked about the wine shop!"

"Oh? That's what the prefect Wang said. The lower official has sold the winery to Chai Sikong. Now I no longer have the business of the winery. Could it be that the prefect Wang also wants to sell the winery and goes to negotiate with Sikong himself.

Oh, the adults in Wang Zhifu’s family seem to be very familiar with Chai Sikong, so they should give you some face.”

Wang Pu shouted angrily: "You know that's not what I'm talking about. There are tens of thousands of military family members surrounding the wine shop now. You know that once they rush in, they will cause a huge disaster."

"What does this have to do with me? I have already told the prefect Wang that the winery has nothing to do with me. No matter whether there is murder or arson in the winery, it has nothing to do with me."

Wang Pu was so angry that Xu Xian had nothing to do with him. He overturned the table and said, "Xu Xian, you know Chai Sikong's identity. If there is anything wrong with him, do you know how terrible things will happen?"

Bang! Xu Xian suddenly stood up and slapped Wang Pu on the face. Wang Pu staggered several steps and held on to the wall to stop himself.

Wang Pu couldn't believe that Xu Xian dared to hit him. As an emperor, Chai Rong would not do such a thing to him. A huge sense of shame arose spontaneously. He pointed at Xu Xian and gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you hit him?"

I!"

"Humph! I'm not the emperor and I need to coax you to do things, so why don't I dare to beat you!" Xu Xian returned to his chair, "It's not the most terrifying thing that Chai Sikong was beaten to death by the military family members. Your Majesty's soldiers on the front line are not yet bathed in blood.

The most terrifying thing about the fighting soldiers is that he will turn around and kill Kaifeng when he hears that your majesty’s father has robbed their business.”

Wang Pu's face turned pale. That was not what he was worried about. "Then... what should we do now?"

"If I had known today, why would I bother you? I have already made a big concession. I have handed over all the business in Luoyang and I will give you 100,000 yuan. Isn't that enough to satisfy you?"

"It was not Wang who was responsible. Only today did Wang find out that they were going to take over all the business of the wine shop. In the future, when Wang is going to apologize to Marquis Yu, he should ask those people to disperse first."

Bang! The door of the Xu family was suddenly knocked open. Old Mu Tou and others were seen hurriedly entering the door. When they got to the hall, they pulled Xu Xian out without saying a word.

Xu Xian asked: "Tou Mu has something to say, what are you going to do?"

Old Mu turned his head and said, "Your Majesty wants to see you!"

The city wall to the west is only about 200 steps away from the winery. Looking down from here, the mountains and seas of people are so spectacular that Chai Rong has no interest in admiring them.

He was very glad that these people were just military family members and not rebel soldiers, otherwise today might be the day when his body was dismembered. Apart from being thankful, he was also annoyed. Firstly, he was annoyed that his biological father was ignorant and stupid and was being taken advantage of; secondly, he was annoyed by the people behind him.

Greedy by nature; Sanma is naturally annoyed with Xu Xian, but I don’t know why he is annoyed, and speaking of it, he is also a victim.

"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer! If Chai Sikong is afraid of risking his life by waiting for these rebellious people, he might as well ask me to lead his troops to kill them!"

Chai Rong looked at him and said, "Are you sure you can command them to kill their own relatives?"

"Why don't we call them the Crane Control Army!"

Xiang Xun immediately retorted: "Absolutely not. Once casualties are caused, it will damage your majesty's prestige in the hearts of the soldiers."

"Not only will I lose my prestige, I may also lose my head!"

Xiang Xun quickly comforted and said: "Your Majesty is serious! There is always a way to solve it!"

"Xu Xian hasn't come yet?"

"Coming!" Xiang Xun pointed to the north with his chin, and saw Xu Xian and Lao Mu Tou rushing from the north wall.

When Xu Xian arrived, he immediately greeted Chai Rong and said, "I have met your Majesty!"

"Well, how to solve the following things!"

"I have already sold the business of the wine shop to Chai Sikong. The military family members were unwilling to have their business robbed, so they started a riot and it had nothing to do with me."

"Why are you so guilty? I didn't say it had anything to do with you. I asked you how to solve it!"
