Chapter 267: The strong dragon does not suppress the snake
After the Cha family sang a song, the opera troupe stopped, the flute master stopped flute, and the Sheng master slowly lowered the jade sheng.
The diners came and went, and then came again and again. At first, the rich man still looked at the stage with drunken eyes, sighed and shouted:
"Second! It's so wonderful!"
"The Cha family's skills are the best in Fengyang. They are full of passion and love, and they have been surrounded by the beam for three days, and the sound is endless!"
The woman who played the role of the play stood up from the stage and looked at the person with her big watery eyes. She didn't know what to say to thank him.
Before she could make a sound, she saw the rich man shook his hands and left like that.
"What a weird guy..."
Chajiaban is very lively here, and Yueming Building over there is also good, but it looks like the difference between the upper class and the lower class.
Here are all knowledgeable and elegant scholars, extraordinary and talented.
Two rough men came from afar, young and strong, with baskets behind them all on their backs. They obviously came to handle New Year's goods. After all, it was the end of the second year of the Apocalypse, so we had to prepare in advance.
The two of them wandered around the night market outside Yueming Building. They first went to the salted fish farm to buy a few salted fish, and then went to the fireworks shed for a long time to buy a few kinds here and a few there.
Finally, the two of them stopped happily outside the Yueming Building.
They looked inside and found many women dressed in brightly, singing and dancing, and scholars wearing blue clothes, holding folding fans and chanting poems and essays, showing envious eyes.
The romance and flowers in Yueming Tower are separated from them, but they seem to be two completely different worlds. One person sighed and said:
"Let's go, go to Chajialou, order a pot of wine, and have a play."
The other person obviously disagreed and forced himself to leave the man and wanted to go into Yueming Tower to take a look. Before the two of them could get in, they were stopped by the servant who had been staring at them for a long time.
"What are you doing! Where to go!"
"This Yueming Tower is also a place you can enter?...There is no New Year's goods you want to buy here, go outside!"
The two were stunned, their black eyes flashed, and one of them jumped and said:
"What, are you allowed to enter?"
Another servant came over, chatted with the guy at the door for a few words, then stepped forward and patted one of the men on the shoulder and pointed inside:
"Look."
"The people inside are either rich young men or nobles, and those who write poems and joke, and they are all famous and famous, and you can't afford to offend any of them."
"Listen to my advice, go to Chajialou and listen to the opera."
The atmosphere of fighting in Yueming Tower is warm, and no one noticed the two awkwardly-looking rough men who were stopped at the door.
The gentle footsteps were getting closer and closer. A young man wearing a white plain clothes and a sword hanging around his waist stopped behind the three of them.
The servant saw that a handsome and elegant young man with a well-dressed dress stopped in front of him, hurriedly threw the two rough men down, and trotted forward.
The young man who was welcomed into the door walked calmly while walking, followed by three strong men with big arms and round waists. At first sight, he saw a rich young man from a family.
The servant didn't dare to ask too much, just nodded and sent him in. After all, when the emperor came to Zhongdu, all the people who could not afford to offend him came with him.
The young man took a few steps, but suddenly turned around and said to him:
"I...I have asked for all the expenses for these two people in Yueming Tower."
Yu Luo, a man following behind him threw out a silver ingot and quickly followed him to the second floor. The servant held the silver ingot in his hand, feeling strange.
These days, there are really all kinds of weird people.
Have a lot of money idle?
......
In a private room on the second floor of Yueming Building, several well-dressed and flustered officials gathered, Fengyang Prefect, Suzhou Prefect, and Fengyang Governor were all there.
There were a snack on the table, a small cage of crystal bags, a plate of chicken and shrimp dumplings, and a plate of sesame cakes with yellow sides. The servant was walking in and served a large plate of beef sauce.
"Why did Your Majesty come to Fengyang?"
The person who spoke was a goatee, at least over forty years old. He was the local parent and prefect Yan Rongxuan in Fengyang.
"Who knows, a few days ago, there were panic in the capital, and many adults did not dare to report the news. The emperor stayed in Fengyang, probably because it was related to the last disaster in Suzhou."
After speaking, Chen Kangwei, the governor of Suzhou, snorted coldly:
Zhou Yi, who was in the Governor Fengyang and others, had the largest official rank here. He wanted to say a few words, but when he saw these two people, he didn't feel good, so he didn't say anything.
The more lively the downstairs, the worse their mood became.
After a while, Yan Rongxuan slapped the table.
"Call someone in!"
The servant naturally knew that the people in this private room were all local snakes in Fengyang. If you want to talk about the strong dragon compared to the local snake, the latter is the most fearful.
The old saying that a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake makes sense.
No matter how strong the emperor and his group were, they would only hold a tribute in Fengyang for a few days. When they left, the Fengyang area was not the final decision.
"Shut them up!"
Yan Rongxuan was in a irritable mood and did not allow others to laugh. The sound below made him even more upset.
"This...is not good!"
The servant was in a little embarrassed.
Although these people are all local masters, the emperor is here to Beijing, who knows if there are any high-ranking officials who follow Fengyang to follow.
None of these people can afford to offend them!
"Go roll!"
Yan Rongxuan was also angry for a moment, and he regretted it after he finished speaking. The servant was in a dilemma. He quickly went downstairs and sent the servant out, and said:
"Everyone, let's talk about it. What should you do if Your Majesty arrives in Fengyang today?"
"Get out a plan, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope when embezzling the 180,000 taels of silver in Suzhou!"
"What can I do?"
Chen Kangwei, the governor of Suzhou, glanced at him and said:
"I am in charge of Suzhou. I want to check the first one. If something happens, I will take care of it. Why is Yan Futai worried about?"
"You're the one..." Yan Rongxuan sneered:
"Can you keep it? Even Governor Zhou can't keep it!"
Zhou Yi sighed:
"The emperor came to Fengyang and should only worship the imperial tomb. He should be worried about those eunuchs, not us. This group of people do all kinds of evil in Fengyang, so we have nothing to worry about."
Speaking of this, he looked at Chen Kangwei and said:
"As for the disaster relief money in Suzhou, we must give orders to unify the caliber of the imperial tomb, the Liu Chao, and the commander of Fengyang Guard, Meng Ran, were colluding with each other."
"We didn't take the silver payment, maybe we went to their place."
As he said that, Zhou Yi stood up and came to the window. Looking at Fengyang City, which was still brightly lit and crowded in the middle of the night, he said:
"At this time, please don't hide it."
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhou are all local big players. They have all the money for those silver money. They can also bring them up to prevent problems before they happen!"
"Look, look!" Yan Rongxuan shouted:
"It must be Governor Zhou, otherwise he will be able to slander and wait for death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yi, who was standing by the window, frowned, and pointed at the front as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Why is it messy over there?"
