The middle-aged man impatiently kicked the beggar who was nearest to him and threatened: "dare to get close to me again, believe it or not, I'll ask the servant to break your leg!"
Bai Yutang couldn't see it. He was about to mediate. But before he opened his mouth, Zheng Yu's voice came from behind.
"How dare you gather people to make trouble at the gate of the capital in the light of the day!"
Although Zheng Yu was dressed in casual clothes, she carried a royal sword around her waist. She was majestic and dignified.
As soon as he appeared, all the beggars were scared away and did not dare to pester the middle-aged man.
Zheng Yu came over and said, "are you gathering here to make trouble? How bold! How dare you be so rampant at the foot of the emperor? Who are you? Local or foreign? "
As soon as the middle-aged man saw Zheng Yu, his arrogance suddenly withered. He said with a low voice and a smile: "this adult is calm. I didn't gather people to make trouble. It's just that the beggars see that I have a lot of money, so they kneel around and beg me for mercy..."
Zheng Yu turned a blind eye to his flattery and flattery. After hearing this, her eyes narrowed dangerously: "quite rich?"
The man nodded and admitted.
Zheng Yu said with a smile: "look at those beggars around you, you will know that you have no charity, pity and heartlessness for the rich. You are a businessman like you!"
On one side, the city guard knew Zheng Yu, and flattered him and said, "what shiziye said is true! These unscrupulous businessmen are the most hateful. These days there are snowstorms in the forest city. These unscrupulous businessmen take the opportunity to drive up the price of food. They are really hateful! This man is not benevolent because he is rich. The prince might as well arrest him and punish him for the crime of gathering people to make trouble and affecting public order! "
Bai Yutang was just watching. He couldn't pay attention to these dirty officialdom. The rich businessman did something wrong just now, but it directly arrested people It's too much.
It's often said that the magistrate who made the house arrest killed the family. Today, Bai Yutang has a deeper understanding of the dark officialdom.
"My lord The grassroots did something wrong, but I didn't make trouble! Those beggars are all around me! I didn't make trouble! "
Zheng Yu slightly raised her eyebrows and put her hand on the handle. She looked at the middle-aged businessman in front of her with delicate eyes.
Looking at Zheng Yu's subtle attitude, the middle-aged businessman suddenly realized that he was in a state of panic: "it's a long story, and I can't explain it clearly in one or two words. Adults are good officials for the people. They will never wronged the grassroots without any reason. Please give me a chance to argue!"
The smile on Zheng Yu's face became more and more subtle. She raised her hand to help the middle-aged businessman who bent down to explain. She put the token of the government into his hand and said with a smile: "it's windy here. I don't want to deprive you of the opportunity to explain. Come to my house and tell me the whole story slowly! As for how to make it clear It's up to you! "
All the onlookers were silent when they saw this scene.
Bai Yutang never thought that Zheng Yu was still such an active briber A handsome face like a crown jade suddenly like a cage on a layer of shadow, gloomy, looking not very happy.
"Why didn't I know that Zheng Yu was still such an active briber? It's shameless... "
On the one hand, Bai Yutang didn't believe that shiziye would be so shameless in threatening to ask for bribes in public. On the other hand, he saw the other party's shameless behavior with his own eyes. For a moment, he was out of words and didn't know how to criticize this behavior.
Han Qing saw this scene not only did not get angry, but also his cold expression gradually became more gentle, even with a little smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Taibai, you can't misunderstand Zheng Yu. Most of the areas in the pass were hit by snow disaster, and many people were displaced. The imperial court refused to open warehouses to release grain to relieve the people, and secretly organized those rich businessmen to donate grain.
Unfortunately, there are only a few willing donors, so these officials will choose to force them to take the initiative to donate food in this way of coercion and inducement. "
Han Qing's explanation made Bai Yutang suddenly realize.
Zheng Yu finished it and went to the white jade hall. They said hello to each other first, then frowned and asked, "five days has passed, and she still hasn't come back. Have you brought my words to me?"
Bai Yutang swore: "don't worry, I told her about it long ago. She will definitely come back within the stipulated time and give her some freedom. She will be more and more impatient if you manage so much all day."
Zheng Yu forbeared again and again. Finally, she couldn't bear to interrupt the man in front of her: "enough, close your crow's mouth! Finally, I would like to warn you that if you have nothing to do, you can go back to your college. If you can't help it, you can take care of my son.... "
Before leaving, Zheng Yu left a subtle look for Bai Yutang to understand. Bai Yutang couldn't understand each other's hint.
Han Qing understood, but he chose to be silent and didn't say much.
In fact, Zheng Yu just wanted to remind Bai Yutang not to mix with Han Qing all day, because it was easy to offend the emperor.The emperor can be magnanimous about other things, but once Han Qing happens, the emperor's mind is smaller than the tip of a needle. At least he is also his brother-in-law in name. Zheng Yu doesn't want to see him regarded as a thorn in the emperor's eye.
Bai Yutang frowned and was puzzled. On one side, the city guard came up with a smile and asked, "are you going to the city?"
Han Qing nodded, and the guard immediately made a gesture to ask them to go ahead, regardless of the people in the queue.
Even the two pennies you need to pay to enter the city are not given.
For this scene, the onlookers did not dare to criticize, can only watch in silence.
Bai Yutang knew that the guards were looking for the sake of knowing Zheng Yu, the son of the world. She wanted to refuse. But she could see the burning eyes around her. She finally went to the city first.
I have the privilege to wait in line there on purpose, which will only make those people feel that you are putting on airs.
Looking at the prosperous street, Han Qing pointed to the three story tall building in front of him and said, "the Yellow Crane Tower is convenient in front of him. I heard that the Yellow Crane Tower is going to be expanded, but it was refused by the owner."
Bai Yutang hasn't heard the news of the Yellow Crane Tower for a long time. When he suddenly heard such a rumor, he was in a mixed mood.
"What's going on?" Bai Yutang asked curiously.
"It's said that the Yellow Crane Tower was founded by the current owner and his beloved girl. The Yellow Crane Tower carries their memories and the past. It's said that the girl has passed away. Zhao Jin, the current owner of the Yellow Crane Tower, expresses his feelings. Naturally, he is reluctant to change the pattern of the Yellow Crane Tower."
