November 9th.

This day was a big day for Cheng Wen of Qianhu. The cold winter was not pleasant for everything, but for Cheng Wen, it was a day of harvest. It seemed that even God was helping him. Today, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was not cold. When he arrived at Qianhu, he immediately called the deputy Qianhu and asked him to send the money.

It is reported that all the silver in the Donghuamen Hundred Houses Institute had been collected and converted, and more than 14,300 taels of silver were obtained. According to the agreement, nearly 10,000 taels of silver were sent to the Thousand Houses Institute, becoming Cheng Wen's possession.

Zhu Jian, the deputy Qianhou, went there immediately. Then several hundred households came to ask for help. The Qianhou office had already received the salary. Half a month has passed, but now, everyone has not seen the money. It would have been fine if it were the past, but now it is almost the Chinese New Year. The brothers below are complaining that the wives at home are scolding. If they don’t pay the salary, will the New Year goods still be purchased? After this month, prices will definitely rise a lot. Ordinary families point to buying New Year goods as soon as possible, so that merchants can start prices.

The hundreds of households were under pressure and needed money in urgent need. The Jinyiwei started the Jinyiwei. Even the hundreds of households had no savings. Many people came from Peking and didn’t even have a house in Nanjing. There was some oil and water. But after all, not every hundred household house had a large amount of money and squandered money like Donghuamen. So everyone thought that it would be a solution to continue to waste like this, so they naturally asked for it.

"Sir, there are fourteen thousand households, and we have not paid the salary for September in Dongcheng yet. If we continue to drag it down, it is not a solution. Brothers are still waiting for the rice to be put into the pot. Please give mercy and understand the difficulties of brothers..."

Cheng Wen looked at them coldly and comforted the case, "There is no reason not to pay wages. Just wait, I will send it today and I can't escape. I'm accounting for it a few days ago."

He said, but he sneered in his heart. A group of Qiu Ba didn't know anything and had short-sighted eyes. However, he was in a good mood today. As long as the money from Donghuamen was sent, everything would be fine.

Cheng Wen drank a cup of tea and heard the voice of Zhu Jian, the deputy Qianhu. He was excited. Then Zhu Jian came in and saluted Cheng Wen: "Sir..."

"Where is the silver? I'll be escorted so soon?"

Zhu Jian showed bitterness on his face: "There is no money, I said it from Donghuamen, and I have never promised..."

"What?" Cheng Wen's mind buzzed and slapped his head.

He felt that he had been cheated. If the money was icing on the cake for him in the past, he was now counting on timely assistance. Without this money, how could the money be paid?

His face suddenly pulled down, and he looked at Zhu Jian fiercely: "What did you say before? The one who said the surname Hao had already made a promise..."

Zhu Jian smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that Hao Fenglou was untrustworthy, even the thousand-household people dared to deceive him!"

Cheng Wen no longer had the patience to listen. Now he said that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. Without money, not only could he not explain, but he could not give an explanation.

Cheng Wen's face turned pale, and finally he pressed the hilt of the knife around his waist hard, and smiled coldly, "It's time to come, I can't look back anymore, someone else."

A personal lieutenant came in: "I am humble."

Cheng Wen narrowed his eyes: "Take thirty strong men to Donghuamen, take Hao Fenglou, and bring it immediately!"

The captain nodded. The captain was named Cheng Feng, who was Cheng Wen's nephew. The brothers who fought against tigers went into battle and father-son soldiers. At this point, they could only move and force, and the others naturally believed it. Since this was the case, they could only let Cheng Feng go.

At this time, in the Tongzhi Hall, Tongzhi Wu Hui received a note. After crushing the note, Wu Hui's face showed a sneer. Obviously, judging from all the signs, there was a problem in Dongcheng, which was obviously something that Wu Hui liked. He greeted him: "Come."

The master came in and said, "What are the instructions for you sir?"

Wu Hui smiled and said, "Prepare horses and go to the Thousand Houses in Dongcheng. I want to go and see the fun."

Liang Chao, the commander in the assistant room, looked gloomy and gloomy. Things were beyond his expectations. The Tongzhi Wu Hui also took action. If he watched the fire from the other side of the river at this time, it would be obvious that it would be inappropriate. He pondered for a moment and finally set off, targeting... Dongcheng.

……………………

The Donghuamen Hundred House, which was in the eyes of the storm, was surprisingly calm. In the room, Yao Guangxiao came to visit, and the master and apprentice sat opposite each other, eating the top-grade Biluochun brought by Yao Guangxiao. When Yao Guangxiao was drinking tea, he always squinted his eyes, smashed his mouth and slowly felt the fragrance of the tea between his mouth, and was fascinated.

After running out of a cup of tea, Yao Guangxiao looked up at Hao Fenglou, pursed his lips and smiled, "How do you feel?"

Hao Fenglou sighed: "Good tea."

Yao Guangxiao sneered: "What I am talking about is not tea, why are you talking about other things?"

Hao Fenglou had no choice but to say, "I feel it's okay, but my conscience is a little uneasy."

Yao Guangxiao smiled: "Conscience is for others. What should those who achieve great things do with conscience? But these little tricks are just pediatrics, and they are just a teacher to accompany you to play. OK, it seems that the time is almost done. Hao Qianhu, are you ready?"

Hao Fenglou said seriously: "Everything is ready."

"Very good." Yao Guangxiao stood up and put his beloved rose purple glaze sunflower-style tea set into a cloth bag, saying, "Then say goodbye to your teacher, do it well. If you do it well, you will be a thousand households. If you can't do it well, don't come to see you. You don't have any incompetent children like you."

After saying that, Yao Guangxiao left casually.

As soon as Yao Guangxiao left, a noisy sound came from outside, and someone heard a roar with a thrill of awesomeness: "Get out, call out your hundred households, I will come to get people under the order of Qianhu Jun. Why, are you trying to die?"

Hearing this voice, Hao Fenglou smiled. He dressed up and walked out.

The entire yard of the Baihu Office was already in chaos, with dozens or hundreds of lieutenants gathered at the door, some were the lieutenants and strong men of the Baihu Office of Donghuamen, and some were brought by Cheng Feng. Cheng Feng was very arrogant and shouted a few words, as if the imperial envoy had arrived in a remote county town.

Hao Fenglou coughed and walked forward: "Who wants to meet me?"

When Cheng Feng saw Hao Fenglou, he smiled coldly and said, "Are you the Hao Fenglou, a hundred households in Donghuamen?"

Hao Fenglou nodded: "That's right."

Cheng Fengsen sneered and shouted: "Come on, take him down!"

Dozens of lieutenants behind him were eager to try, so they wanted to take action!

Hao Fenglou smiled, pressed the hilt of the knife around his waist, and shouted: "Take them all!"

With an order, the captains and the Liss of the Baihu Institute all drew their swords.

Swish... The long sword was unsheathed, and the solemn aura spread out.

Cheng Feng never expected that the Baihu Institute would dare to move the knife. He was stunned for a moment and reached out to grasp the hilt of the knife firmly at his waist. But at this time, Zeng Jianye rushed out and kicked him to the ground with one kick.

Hao Fenglou smiled grimly and said, "Whoever dares to resist, kill him or her. If you have the ability, just give it a try!"

The 30 thousand-household lieutenant Lishi came from the school and instantly petrified. In fact, before they came, they never thought they would use force, nor did they think that they would fight to the death. So for a moment, some people began to panic. On the other hand, the Hundred Households of Donghuamen were united. Four or five people rushed towards Cheng Feng. Someone kicked Cheng Feng hard, and Zeng Jian lifted him up again and seized his sword.

Hao Fenglou narrowed his eyes and said, "What day is today? Today is the ninth day of November. Seventeen days ago, Qianhou Institution had already received the salary from the brothers from the Shuji Warehouse. But now, who has received the salary? Brothers are the job service, and it is natural for the court to allocate funds. But Qianhou Institution intercepted money and grain, so would the brothers starve to death? Now, Qianhou Institution is extremely greedy and not only intercepted the money and grain of each hundred households, but instead brought people to show their power. Such people are worthy of being Qianhou Institution? Everyone obeyed the order and went to Qianhou Institution. If they don't ask for an explanation today, let's give him an explanation!"

Hao Fenglou looked around: "Who dares to go with me!"
