Ding Kui came to Dongshi. It was much busier than Xichaomen Street. Half of the wide street was occupied by pedestrians. The carriages that often passed by drove through the street at the slowest speed. If they went a little faster, they might hit them.

Ding Cai also followed him out and walked around. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "The capital is still the same as before. Whether it is the battle in southern Xinjiang or the West Sea, it has no impact on the king at all. It cannot be done by one or two battles to shake the foundation of Shaodian Kingdom."
get."
"The capital is the safest place in a kingdom. The fall of half of the kingdom will not affect the prosperity here. Don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, so as not to make others laugh." Ding Kui glanced at Ding Cai.
"My master has taught me a lesson. This slave is short-sighted and must learn more from me in the future." Ding Cai shrank his neck, but he didn't feel any embarrassment at all.
"Looking for where the Yuntian Inn is?" Ding Kui didn't want to touch Ding Cai. After all, he was the first factory director under him.
"The location of the Tang family's land is not too bad, it should be right in front." Fei Ze took the initiative to follow him this time.
Although Ding Kui and his party did not ride in a carriage, they were all well-dressed and well-dressed. Pedestrians nearby made way for them, knowing that these people were not easy to mess with.
?
"I don't want the money you lose, I just want everyone to know that you are doing business without conscience!"
Ping, a table fell from the second floor to the ground. The tabletop made of logs split in half. Fortunately, no one was underneath.
A group of people gathered in front of a three-story wooden building from which the table fell.
Ding Cai returned to Ding Kui and said, "The Yuntian Inn is ahead, but something seems to have happened."
"Well? You go and inquire about it, and we'll take a look." Ding Kui called Ding Cai to inquire about the news, and then led the others to crowd forward.
Yuntian Inn is divided into two parts. The one by the roadside is the restaurant, and behind the restaurant is the small building and courtyard where people live. It is considered a relatively high-end inn in the capital.
Normally, there would be at least a few customers drinking in the restaurant of Yuntian Inn, but among the crowd, Ding Kui only saw someone on the second floor, but not a single customer in the lobby on the first floor.
Although it is not lunch time, unless the restaurants in Zhenjing City are closed, there will always be customers consuming food inside.
The rent for the Tang family's land is not cheap. If the Yuntian Inn continues to have such a flow of customers, it will lose a lot of money every month.
Quan Sihai brought eight guards, surrounded Ding Kui and Fei Ze in the middle, and squeezed through the crowd to occupy a space.
"Boss Zhang, please give me some face, I will give you five more gold coins personally, take your people and leave the Yuntian Inn." An older voice came from upstairs.
"I'm just kidding, can the Yuntian Inn use oil from cows that died of illness to make dishes, can the neighbors eat it? Don't say give me ten gold coins, even if you give me a hundred gold coins, I have to tell everyone. I spent money to eat and drink here.
, why don’t you let me tell the truth here?” Another angry voice was heard just now.
"Yuntian Inn is not a time-honored brand in Zhenjing City, but it has been operating here for decades. It can't be said that it makes a lot of money. With the care of many customers, it will not be unable to afford good oil.
Please don’t continue to slander Yuntian Inn. Ask yourself, my boss and I, Hao Qi, have never offended you, so why make the matter bigger? My boss knows a lot of people from the Public Security Department.” The person who spoke was the shopkeeper.
"Hey, I, Zhang Xuan, have no intention of making a living in Dongshi. Don't use the Public Security Department to pressure me. When they come, they will check your oil first." The arrogant man's name was Zhang Xuan.
"Boss Zhang, don't give me a toast or drink a fine wine. Do you think my Yuntian Inn is empty?" Another thick voice shouted.
Exhorted Donglong, there was a sound of pushing and jostling upstairs.
"Teacher Lin, don't be impulsive. You can't give them excuses." It seemed that Shopkeeper Hao was trying to dissuade him.
"If you have the ability, try touching me? Lin Qian! If you don't dare to do anything, you're just a puppy." Zhang Xuan tried his best to provoke him.
Ping, another table flew downstairs.
This time the person who threw the table used a little more force, and the table flew directly over Ding Kui's head.
Before Quan Sihai could take action, Ding Kui took a step forward, reached up and grabbed a corner of the table.
He was the tallest, and the guards tried to help but were not as fast as he was.
"Go in and see what kind of food and drinks this inn has bought." Ding Kui grabbed the table and walked towards the lobby.
"Those who are watching the excitement should stay out of their own business!" said a cold voice in the crowd.
There were several vicious-looking people in front of the inn, but these words were not spoken by them, but by a fat man wearing luxurious clothes.
Most people would not dare to say such things to Ding Kui. The fat man seemed to be a person of some status.
Ding Kui didn't even look at the fat man and strode into Yuntian Inn, followed closely by Fei Ze and all the guards from all over the world.
The men with vicious faces hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to stop Ding Kui and others.
There was a waiter in the lobby who stood at the foot of the stairs restlessly, looking up from time to time. He didn't react until Ding Kui and others entered the lobby.
"Are these distinguished guests having a drink or staying in a hotel?" The waiter identified Ding Kui as the leader.
Ding Kui and others did not carry any luggage, and there was not too much dust on their clothes and shoes. The waiter saw that they did not look like hotel guests, but he still asked out of habit.
"Eat wine." Ding Kui replied.
"Do you want a private room or a private seat?" The waiter hesitated whether to take Ding Kui and others upstairs.
If in normal times the waiter would have taken Ding Kui and the others up to the third floor, Ding Kui, dressed as an earl, would not be sitting in the lobby on the first floor, but now someone is making trouble on the second floor.
"There's no one else in the lobby. Just find a table. It's the same as booking the next floor." Ding Kui said, finding a table nearby and sitting down.
Suddenly, someone came downstairs, and the person walking at the front was an old man in his fifties.
"We have a distinguished guest coming to our door. I'm a little disappointed. Today's food and drinks are all 50% off. I hope you won't blame me." Shopkeeper Hao ran to Ding Kui.
"Humph, where did you get that unfamiliar face? How dare you deny me my respect?" The fat man raised his head slightly and sat at the table next to Ding Kui.
He is also dressed as a count, but judging from his accessories, he should be a second-class count, one rank higher than Ding Kui's Zhongyong Bo.
"Sir Lian, there is a private room reserved for you on the third floor, please..." Shopkeeper Hao noticed that the fat man looked wrong and wanted to drag him to the third floor.
"No need, I just want to see where this stupid young man came from who didn't learn the rules of the capital. It's not like you can go on a rampage in Zhenjing with just a few guards." The fat man's original surname was Lian.
His words were directed at Ding Kui.
Oh, I met someone with stories when I went out for a walk. This cheap guy was obviously warning me not to wade into muddy waters. What are the rules of the capital? I have never learned them.
Ding Kui glanced sideways at the fat man and sensed the provocation. He patted the table and said, "Good wine and good food are being served. I know you don't need to learn any rules when it comes to drinking. There are places in the capital where you are not allowed to trespass, but
Definitely not including Dongshi.”
This sentence was completely directed at Mr. Lian.
"How presumptuous!" A group of big men rushed in from the door, "Speak politely in front of our Lord Lian. Lord Lian's sister is Nangong Princess' younger sister. Whose father are you?" Wei Ren stared at Ding Kui.
With a crash, a group of people rushed down from the second floor. They were all tall and thick, and their stamina was not inferior to that of Ding Kui's guards. They all stood behind the fat man.
Shopkeeper Hao was so anxious that he was sweating all over and said to Ding Kui: "This distinguished guest, there is a quiet courtyard in the back. I will invite you to come and have a drink."
"Pa!" Quan Sihai slapped the table and stood up, exuding a scornful aura that suffocated the newcomers who rushed in.
The eight guards of the Protectorate also stood up.
The lobby on the first floor of Yuntian Inn suddenly became tense. The crowd watching outside the door couldn't help but take a few steps back. The two groups of people inside were not something ordinary people could mess with.
"Oh, people from the Nangong family, I understand what's going on," Ding Kui waved his hand to his people to sit down, "I won't care about this bitch and let him slap himself ten times.
Forget it."
He did not name anyone, but those present could hear him referring to the person who drank "unbridled".
The fat man frowned. The young earl at the next table told him his faction, but showed that he didn't care. Even the Nangong family couldn't suppress this guy, which showed that he had a big background.
"Lian Hu, second-class Uncle Xinyi, I wonder who you are?" The fat man bowed his hands to Ding Kui.
Lian Hu was probably in his thirties. Before he understood Ding Kui's origins, he suppressed his anger and still maintained his aristocratic demeanor.
"Ding Kui, now I am the owner of the Yuntian Inn, and you are causing trouble on my land today!" Ding Kui returned the favor.
The scene suddenly became quiet. It wasn't Ding Kui's name that was scary, but the words that followed.
This land originally belonged to the Duke of Beizhen. Lian Hu and his people had already received the news from the Nangong family. They came here to deliberately clean up the Yuntian Inn and make it difficult for the Yuntian Inn to operate, thereby damaging the value of the land.
It's to disgust the Tang family.
Before coming, Lian Hu found out that the lease contract between Yuntian Inn and the Tang family had two years left to expire. Yuntian Inn would rather lose two years of rent than cancel the lease, but it would definitely not continue to rent it after it expired. Under his secret mischief,
Under the circumstances, the Tang family cannot find a tenant in the short term.
This was a mild blow to the Tang family, and even the counterattack against the Lian family would not be too fierce. With the help of the Nangong family, Lian Hu could hold on.
The people at Yuntian Inn also don't know that the land has changed owners, and the rent is paid year by year. If nothing happened today, they would not know about the change of owner until next year.
"Are you telling the truth?" Lian Hu couldn't believe it.
"You don't believe what the emperor's consort said?" Fei Ze answered for Ding Kui, while emphasizing Ding Kui's identity.
"It seems that today was a misunderstanding. The younger sister and the eldest princess have met several times, and they are not enemies at all. It is the people below who are reckless." Lian Hu's tone softened, and he even used his sister's trap to get close to her.
"The young master said, let him control ten mouths by himself." Quan Sihai pointed at the tall and thin man next to Lian Hu.
It was this tall and thin man who rushed into the lobby with others and said "presumptuous" to Ding Kui.
