The five tigers of the Zhao family wore red and green, while the minions who followed were wearing hemp and wearing filial piety. The officials and squires in the yard were whispering to each other. The Zhao family was obviously looking for trouble by doing this.
Zhu Tianjiang was chewing melon seeds and holding up the tea cup slightly. This move was to tell everyone not to act rashly for the time being, the fun had just begun. Zhu Yi and others received the order, and the hidden personnel stabilized themselves.
Yu Shouchang walked over with a sneer, "Brothers from the Zhao family, today's meeting at Zhu Jiyin House is supposed to be a happy and festive event. What on earth do you want to do by doing this?"
The eldest son of the Zhao family snorted coldly, "Shopkeeper Yu, our housekeeper Zhao Si was beaten to death by you yesterday. Although you have the prince's palace badge and are exempt from the yamen's sanctions, the servants of my house would like to pay your respects."
, you can’t control this.”
Before Yu Shouchang could say anything, Daniel said, "Grandma, I thought your father was dead."
"What did you say~!" The Zhao brothers looked at Daniel angrily.
Daniel snorted indifferently and slammed the iron rod on the ground. Wu Dayin, the governor, seemed not to hear it and was still sitting calmly in front. Guard Xu Gao winked at the five brothers of the Zhao family, "Don't mean that."
impulse.
Yu Shouchang glanced at Wu Dayin's back and said to the boss of the Zhao family, "Zhao Youfu, I don't care who you worship, but this is my Zhu Jiyin Tower. All the dignitaries in Pengcheng are here to listen to the meeting today. What do you do?
Where is my face?"
"Haha, this is strange. As the old saying goes, death is the most important thing. Are you still arguing with the dead?" Zhao Laosi said with a sneer.
At this time, Xia Qing waved to Yu Shouchang, "Shopkeeper Yu, let them listen here, it's no big deal. Little Pengcheng has such an evil slave. When I go back, I will report it to the four masters."
It's true." After Xia Qing finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Dayin.
Now that the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion had spoken, Yu Shouchang could only pretend to be angry and retreat. Wu Dayin frowned. At this time, it seemed unreasonable for him not to stand up and say something.
Wu Dayin stood up with a gloomy face, turned around and looked at the Zhao family's seat, "Zhao Youxi, you are an official of the Yamen, you'd better restrain your own people. Zhu Jiyinlou invited a meeting today in order to make everyone happy.
If something happens, don't blame me for being rude."
These few words were high-sounding, but to Zhu Tianjiang's ears, they seemed nondescript. As a dignified Lord Yin of Pengcheng Prefecture, he actually used a negotiating tone with a head catcher. In the officialdom of Dafeng Dynasty,
It's really rare.
Zhao Youxi clasped his fists and bowed, "Don't worry, Mr. Fu Yin, today we are here on behalf of my father to give face to the Fourth Highness. If the Zhao family wanted to argue with the Queen, they would be involved in the royal family. The Fourth Highness's men beat Zhao to death.
There are several domestic slaves in the house, and although my father will not hold them accountable, it is always appropriate for the people in the house to pay their respects."
After Zhao Youxi finished speaking, Pengcheng guard Xu Gao also said, "Master Fu Yin, they are just wearing white clothes. It does not affect our listening to the show."
Wu Dayin nodded and glanced at Xia Qing awkwardly. Xia Qing shook his head indifferently and looked at the stage. Wu Dayin didn't say anything more and sat down silently.
Zhu Tianjiang felt a little strange. It seemed that this governor was indeed a coward as the people said. Zhu Tianjiang still did not issue an order. He wanted to observe for a while to see if Wu Dayin was acting.
Yu Shouchang saw that Zhu Daguan made no movement, so he had to ask someone to notify Hong Baichao to prepare for the opening.
The fourth prince Xuan Zhu was originally hiding behind the stage, but he was so moved that he sneaked into the background to peek at Hong Xiaoqing. Six guards with sharp knives were on guard carefully, fearing that something might happen to Xuan Zhu.
All the men, women, and children in Hong's class saw the problem and stared at the class leader Hong Baichao carefully. Hong Xiaoqing stood not far to the left of Xuanzhu. Whenever she felt Xuanzhu's burning gaze, Hong Xiaoqing's face turned red, and her hands were red.
Where to put it.
Hong Baichao walked over with a frown. Just now Xuanzhu informed him that there was no need to open the show tonight and let Hong Baichao watch another good show. But now Yu Shouchang sent someone to urge him, so Hong Baichao could only bite the bullet and ask this person.
Future son-in-law.
"Mr. Li, the master is urging the show, don't you think so?" Hong Baichao asked cautiously.
Xuanzhu frowned and thought to himself, Zhu Tianjiang, what are you waiting for? Do you really want my future wife to perform for these bastards? You are so stupid, maybe Hong Xiaoqing will be the mother of the country in the future, how can you show your face again.
"Damn Zhu~, I'm so angry." Xuanzhu wanted to curse a few words, but he was afraid of losing his identity in front of his sweetheart.
"Dad Hong, let's do some juggling first." Xuanzhu gritted his teeth and said helplessly.
Hong Baichao was startled. The troupe was very particular about opening up the show. Usually, the big horn would go up and sing a voice to stir up the atmosphere, and then he would take on the supporting role. Since Xuanzhu had arranged it like this, Hong Baichao had to change the rules and let some jugglers go on first.
As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, the chaotic backyard immediately attracted everyone's attention. As soon as the play started, the Zhao brothers stopped causing trouble, especially the Zhao family ###, who stared and waited for Hong Xiaoqing to appear. Last time the Hong family was at the city wall
As soon as Zhao ### saw Hong Xiaoqing at the beginning of the stage, he was determined to get it.
Less than a pack of cigarettes after the show started, the people watching the theater gradually lost interest and began to chat quietly with each other. Zhu Tianjiang noticed this movement, and many officials sat on the seats next to the Zhao family, and Wu Dayin
Behind him, it was deserted.
Zhu Tianjiang thought that it was almost done, and quietly called a bank clerk and whispered a few words in his ear. After hearing this, the clerk immediately walked over to Xia Qing.
The guy whispered twice in Xia Qing's ear. Xia Qing nodded and said to Wu Dayin on the left, "Master Wu, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Wu Dayin was startled and looked at Xia Qing strangely, "Manager Xia, is it that the sideshows in this small place do not please you?"
"Master Wu, I have something important to discuss with you. Please come with me." Xia Qing said and stood up.
Wu Dayin didn't know what was going on. Since Manager Xia had something to say, he had to stand up and follow him out. The departure of Wu Dayin and Xia Qing did not attract the attention of others. For such a boring sideshow, people with status should go to the front yard.
It is normal to calm your ears for a while.
Xia Qing led Wu Dayin to the front hall, where Zhu Tianjiang was already sitting in the hall. Wu Dayin was startled when he saw Zhu Tianjiang, and Wu Dayin was a little impressed by the way he was dressed.
As soon as the two people came in, the door was immediately closed, and four guards with swords stood inside the door, looking at Wu Dayin coldly.
"Master Fu Yin really loves the people like his own son. He doesn't even have any guards around him. He seems to be very confident in the security of Pengcheng." Zhu Tianjiang said and laughed twice.
Wu Dayin's expression changed, and he looked at Xia Qing in fear, "Manager Xia, what are you going to do?"
"Master Wu, the real master is here. If you have anything to say to him," Xia Qing said, pointing at Zhu Tianliang.
Wu Dayin looked at the four guards with swords and calmed down, "I am a third-rank official of the imperial court. Even if His Highness the Fourth is here, he can't do anything to me." Wu Dayin looked at Zhu Tianjiang with a stern expression.
"Haha, the fourth Xuanzhu is really here, but he is watching a show in the backyard. Since you said that you can't do anything with the Xuanzhu, then can this thing kill you?"
As Zhu Tianjiang spoke, he stretched out his hand and held up a gold medal with the four characters "I am here in person" written on it.
"Bold Wu Dayin, don't kneel down when you see the gold medal given by the emperor!" Xia Qing angrily scolded from the side.
Wu Dayin's face turned sallow, as if he suddenly remembered who the person holding the gold medal was. In the Dafeng Dynasty, only the evil man had such a gold medal.
With a plop, Wu Dayin fell to his knees, "Are you Mr. Zhu?"
"Yes, I am none other than Zhu Tianjiang, the security envoy of the Security Procuratorate who was given a gold medal by the emperor and went to the study to defeat the traitor Zhou Yantian on behalf of the emperor. That's right!" Officer Zhu almost choked to death after announcing his name.
.
Wu Dayin looked at Zhu Tianjiang in horror, wondering how this evil god came to Pengcheng. According to the news from above, didn't he and the fourth prince go to Hedu Prefecture to provide disaster relief?
"Wu Dayin, you are the governor of Pengcheng, but you allow the Zhao family bullies to bring harm to the people. I think you don't want your head anymore. You idiot, do you know who this 'Zhu Ji' belongs to? That belongs to me, Zhu Tianjiang."
Industry. The Zhao family dares to provoke my people, see if I don't skin their family alive today." Zhu Tianjiang said fiercely.
Wu Dayin was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, "Sir, I am wronged. I am in Pengcheng and I have no rights at all~!" Wu Dayin quickly got up and kowtowed.
Zhu Tianjiang said in his heart that this was indeed the case. The dignified governor of Pengcheng was actually ignored by the officials below. He was really a coward.
"Wu Dayin, please stop pretending to be wronged by me. The powerful governor holds the power of the entire city's army. Who dares to disobey your orders?" Zhu Tianjiang asked with his feet on the stool.
Wu Dayin raised his head carefully and looked at Zhu Tianjiang with tears in his eyes, "Sir, I only ask you to spare my life, I will do anything~!"
"Whether you die or not depends on your performance. If you say so, I will let you go. Otherwise, I will destroy your whole family." Zhu Tianjiang threatened Wu Dayin.
"Sir, I have something that fell into the hands of the Zhao family~!" Wu Dayin said painfully.
"Handle? What handle?"
"Sir, a few years ago, Xiaguan went to Zhao's house for a drink. Because Xiaguan was a scholar, he wrote a poem on a whim after drinking, which was treasonous and could destroy the nine tribes. As a result, Zhao Chengguang collected it as evidence of blackmailing Xiaguan. He agreed
As long as the official does not interfere in the affairs of the Zhao family, he will not reveal the evidence. Moreover, he will not tell anyone, including his son~! The official has no choice but to cowardly indulge the Zhao family. Even this time
When officials in the state government were transferred, the Zhao family bribed the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs so that the subordinate officials could continue to serve~!"
Wu Dayin explained the problem in the front yard with snot and tears, but the backyard became lively at this time.
In the backstage, the fourth prince Xuanzhu refused to let Hong Xiaoqing come on stage, forcing Hong Baichao to have no choice but to go out to lift the vat himself. Xuanzhu rubbed his hands anxiously, and even his father-in-law went out. This was so embarrassing.
Big enough. Xuanzhu cursed Zhu Tianjiang, but the people below did not get Zhu Tianjiang's order, so no one dared to take action in advance.
There are always some low-level juggling on the stage, and the Zhao brothers don't want to do it anymore. It has been a while since the incense was burned, and the beautiful lady has not yet appeared, and the Zhao family ### stood up with a shout.
"Get out! Get out of here! Let that beauty come out!" Zhao Family ### shouted loudly, and the people around him followed suit.
Hong Baichao stopped in embarrassment. Even he, the leader of the class, felt that it was unjustifiable for such a large gathering and the leading role had not yet appeared.
Hong Baichao raised his hands in embarrassment and said, "Gentlemen, please wait a moment, my little girl will be on stage soon!"
Hong Baichao said and hurriedly walked into the backstage. When Xuanzhu heard that Hong Xiaoqing was going to come on, he didn't agree with anything.
"Come here, go and see that damn Young Master Zhu. Where did he die?" Xuan Zhu scolded angrily.
Hong Baichao and Ah Cheng were startled. They had never seen their master scolding the young master's family. Aren't they uncomfortable?
"Master Li, please don't get into trouble. I know you are thinking about Qing'er and are afraid that she will show up. But we are in this business and we have to go out for a formality." Hong Baichao begged.
"Dad Hong, wait a moment~ I believe there will be a change soon." Xuanzhu was so anxious that sweat was dripping from his forehead, thinking that if Zhu Tianjiang didn't come again, he would personally give the order to take action.
There was no one on the stage, and the place suddenly became cold. Zhao ### shouted proudly, "Come out quickly and let that beauty sing 'Crying Lover' for me."
There were boos in the audience, and Fu Yin was not present. The squires knew that no one could suppress the Zhao family. Many people were worried that a fight would break out, and some began to prepare to leave.
Yu Shouchang frowned, "Zhao Family ###, if you want to sing, you can't sing about Crying Lover. I have the final say here. Leader Hong, let your people perform a 'Happy Reunion'."
Yu Shouchang was also stalling for time. The main troupe member sang with a male accent, which was equivalent to relieving His Highness Xuanzhu.
"Shopkeeper Yu, although this is your territory, the rules of the hall allow you to spend money to sing songs. Well, I will pay you fifty taels of silver to order a crying lover." Zhao Jia### said arrogantly.
"I will give you three hundred taels, and I will give you a happy reunion." Xuanzhu finally couldn't help it and walked out from the side of the stage.
All the officials and squires in the courtyard were stunned, thinking that this guy just came out of nowhere and he really didn't know whether he was going to live or die.
Zhaojia### looked at Xuanzhu with a ferocious look, "Huh! I'll give you three hundred and fifty taels, and I'll cry for my lover~!"
Just when everyone thought that the big-faced young man was going to increase the price, they heard someone shouting at the door of the backyard.
"Three hundred and fifty taels just want to hear the cry of the lover. This is too disgraceful to the status of the Zhao family. I will give you three hundred and fifty thousand taels~ Let me sing for everyone~ to eliminate harm for the people!"
As the words fell, Zhu Daguan walked in with light steps and his hands behind his back!
