In the box, Emperor Chu also looked at a loss when faced with the inquiries from the women.
What exactly is written in the brochure?
In fact, he also wanted to know.
He was quite accurate in his assessment of "making strategic plans and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away", but Old Man Liu preached so much that it was difficult for him to keep a low profile.
"Ms. sir, what exactly is written in the brochure?"
"Keep it secret!"
"Listen to the book!"
Emperor Chu pretended to be mysterious and looked up at the hall on the first floor. At this time, the crowd was completely excited, and questions were coming one after another.
There was a smile on Old Man Liu's weathered cheeks. He liked listening to his guests' dissatisfied appearance. Only in this way could he reflect his own level.
Emperor Chu also admired Old Man Liu's ability to control things, and he easily set off a climax.
I have to admit, this old man is quite capable.
Old Man Liu raised his hands slightly, and the hall on the first floor and the private room upstairs fell silent for an instant, with no one saying a word.
"Outside the King of War's city, Wu Chu's army was surrounded. General Bai Qi thought of the tips bag. Now is the moment of crisis, so he opened the tip bag immediately."
"But there is only one word on the package."
"One word of truth is enough to defeat a million enemies."
"General Bai Qi was illuminated by the flames of the torch, his resolute face was filled with ecstasy, he clutched the bag of tips in his hand tightly, and his admiration for our emperor was like a surging river, stretching endlessly."
Old Man Liu had given up the idea of what the mantra was. At this time, even Nangong Xi and others had anxious expressions on their faces, looking very much looking forward to it.
"Old man Liu, if you're like this, be careful I'll kill you."
"You're such a coward. If you don't finish talking in one breath, I'll cripple you today."
Many people showed their fierce looks and slapped their teacups on the wooden table with a bang, water splashed everywhere, and they eagerly stepped forward.
"This, one mantra, is the magic weapon to win. I will reveal it right now."
Old Man Liu knew that the atmosphere was almost tense, so he motioned for everyone to be quiet. Just as he was about to speak up, a loud shout rang out first.
"Get off!"
"Things with no eyes, hurry up and get out of the way, I won't be afraid of trampling you to death!"
Angry scoldings came from the door of the tea house. Everyone turned to look at them, and they were all filled with anger. But when they saw the person clearly, their anger dissipated in an instant, and a touch of fear appeared on their cheeks.
In the hall on the first floor, there were only Xiao Guizi, Cao Zhengchun, and Yu Linjun, who were as steady as Mount Tai. They were still sipping tea lightly, looking completely calm and relaxed.
"Master Lu, you are here. The private room on the second floor of Tingshu has been reserved for you."
"Listen to books!"
"What's so good about this bird book? Don't you know why Mr. Lu is here?"
The richly dressed young man, who was called Mr. Lu, did not speak a word. He glanced back and forth in the teahouse with falcon eyes, and saw the man behind him raising his hand and slapping the shopkeeper on the face. His expression was ferocious and terrifying, and his eyes were like the eyes of poisonous snakes.
"Master Lu, please show your respect. We were here last night, and the little boy also handed over the offerings."
"Yes, we paid it last night, but it was yesterday. Do you still want to deal with it tonight?"
The evil young man raised his hand and slapped the shopkeeper on the face again. The shopkeeper, who was already in his sixtieth year, shivered and did not dare to speak at all. He raised his head and cast a pleading look at Mr. Lu.
"Shopkeeper Zheng, I think what he said makes sense. You ate yesterday, don't you need to eat today?"
"My guard is patrolling every day, rain or shine. This is all to protect you and stabilize public order. Shouldn't the offerings be collected once a day?"
"It's not a lot. It's fifty taels of silver. After you pay the money, you can continue. I won't bother you."
Lu Shaofei was domineering, with a strange smile on his lips, like a vampire. Shopkeeper Zheng was terrified and his voice trembled:
"Master Lu, it wasn't thirty taels yesterday, why is there an extra twenty taels tonight?"
"Shopkeeper Zheng, look at the teahouse. It's full of customers. This is only possible under my protection. Besides, tonight is the Lantern Festival, shouldn't you make more friends?"
"Stop talking nonsense, everyone has more, and you are not the only one."
The villain on Lu Heng's side spoke up and raised his hand to push Shopkeeper Zheng to get the money. Everyone did not dare to say anything and cast sympathetic glances at Shopkeeper Zheng.
"Ms. Sir, how can there be such evil people under the Emperor's feet? They are stealing the fruits of people's labor. It is simply abominable."
Nangong Xi's pretty face was grim, her good mood was ruined by this dog-like thing, she really wanted to go down and kill him with a sword.
Emperor Chu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be such people in Chang'an City. It seemed that he had been aloof for too long and still didn't know enough about the lives of the people at the bottom.
"Bang Ning, go call the waiter to come in."
The girls were indignant. The anger on their faces dissipated when Emperor Chu called the waiter to come over. As long as he was ready to make the decision for Shopkeeper Zheng.
A little while.
The waiter came in and stood next to Emperor Chu, raised his fist and saluted, and said: "Sir, when will you call me?"
"Tell me, who is down there?"
"Sir, this..."
"Just say what you say, don't panic!"
The waiter was frightened. Lu Heng downstairs was a evil star, and he, the waiter, was not someone he could offend.
"Sir, the young man who left behind the beautiful clothes is named Lu Heng. He is the young master of the Lu family. He is usually very vicious and does anything. He is as fearful as a tiger or a wolf."
"Lu Mansion?"
"Is there this mansion in Chang'an City?"
Thoughts were racing in Emperor Chu's mind. There was no one named Lu among the officials. What was the origin of the Lu Mansion? It would be impossible not to punish such evil people.
"Okay, step back!"
The waiter looked suspicious and bowed and retreated out of the room. At this time, shopkeeper Zheng in the lobby on the first floor had already stepped forward with the silver coins and handed them to Lu Heng tremblingly.
"Master Lu, I've made a day's profit here, so I hope you can show your favor. I rely on this teahouse to support my family."
Lu Heng glanced at the silver taels in Shopkeeper Zheng's hand, his face instantly became extremely gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "Send the beggar, who doesn't have fifty taels, to demolish your shop."
"this.............."
Shopkeeper Zheng begged, fifty taels of silver was his day's profit, and he had to rely on this storyteller, because as Old Man Liu said, tea was part of the money, and there would also be rewards from guest officials.
The book hasn't been finished yet, so he shouldn't have received any silver. He really couldn't get out the fifty taels.
"This is too much!"
"My husband, how are you going to deal with ruining everyone's enjoyment of listening to books?"
Nangong Xi's beautiful figure had already risen and took two steps forward. At this moment, Lu Heng's eyes stayed on her, with a strange look on his face, and he walked towards the second floor with the evil man behind him.
"Master Lu, there are all distinguished guests on the second floor. We can't disturb them. I'm going to find a way to raise money now."
"go away!"
"Dear guest, are you as distinguished as my young master?"
Shopkeeper Zheng's arm was knocked out, and Lu Heng strode up. Not long after, the door of the box where Emperor Chu was was kicked open.
Bang~
A loud noise spread, and the waiter's figure fell at the feet of the girls, blood spilled from his mouth, and he was obviously severely injured. (To be continued)
