The bearded man knew that Su Qi was just talking nonsense, and was just using his words as a pretext. "I think you are here to cause trouble?"
Su Qi shouted frantically, "I just don't like you. They owe me five thousand taels of silver, and based on the time you've been talking nonsense, the interest is already five hundred taels. Five thousand five hundred taels of silver."
"Where's the IOU?"
Su Qi pointed at the air arrogantly and said, "It was blown away by the wind."
"Here to challenge us. Beat him up." The bearded man gave an order and all the people inside came out.
Gu Beiheng left Yingzi to fight with Ying Er, and he embraced Su Qi and jumped onto the roof.
When Yingzi saw Gu Beiheng and Su Qi about to go in, he glanced at Ying Er who was fighting desperately, and jumped onto the roof.
Gu Beiheng kicked Shadow into the crowd of people who were fighting.
He embraced Su Qi and jumped into the yard, and many people surrounded them.
Gu Beiheng's sword energy formed a large sword flower, injuring the besiegers.
Su Qi's crossbow kept shooting.
A large number of people collapsed in the martial arts hall. Finally, the owner could no longer sit still and invited Gu Beiheng and Su Qi to come in to discuss things.
Gu Beiheng forced Zhenwei Martial Arts School to stand at the government office, and he had no words to win them over.
The owner of Zhenwei Martial Arts School knew that the man in front of him was from the Gu family army, and they had become the people of the old Prince Rongshan along with the eight major merchants of Yanling.
The owner of the museum thought of several solutions while stroking the cup in his hand. According to the eight merchants, the people of the old prince of Rongshan would soon counterattack.
"I'm sorry, but Zhenwei Martial Arts School doesn't take sides with anyone. We're just open for business."
Gu Beiheng stood up and said coldly, "Well, if you dare to harass the people of Yanling, you will be killed without mercy."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Beiheng and Su Qi had already walked out.
The martial arts school owner originally thought that Gu Beiheng would raise the price and give him some benefits. He also took the opportunity to compare which party was offering more benefits. Who knew that the man would leave after a disagreement, uttering harsh words.
After returning to the Yanling government office, Gu Beiheng issued a notice.
Merchants who open their stores within three days will be exempt from taxes for one year and will have priority access to purchase items at the Mingfeng Town Trade City. If they refuse to open after three days, they will be given a two-day observation period.
If it doesn't open in two days, it will be closed permanently.
As for the Dashun regulations, Gu Beiheng noted below that merchants who did not open their doors after five days had no right to interfere.
The notice was posted and caused a sensation in the entire Yanling Prefecture.
Gu Beiheng received news that the Su family had arrived near Yanling Prefecture. Traveling from the capital to Jinyang Prefecture would pass through a county town under Yanling Prefecture. Upon hearing this news, Gu Beiheng went to discuss it with Su Qi.
The people of the Gu family army can only fight but not manage.
He wanted Su Jingmo to be the prefect of Yanling Prefecture. It would definitely be better for him to be in the capital before.
Su Qi also nodded in agreement and sent Ying Jiu to pick up the Su family.
the next day.
When Su Qi and the others went to the street again, they found that a few shops had opened, including a few inns and restaurants, as well as some grain shops and pawnshops.
The shops of the eight major merchants were still closed. They were waiting for people from Yanling Prefecture to come and negotiate again.
When Military Advisor Mo first arrived, he sent someone to act as a lobbyist and had already fought with these old guys twice. However, these old guys were cunning and unyielding, and they asked for too much.
It was the successive prefects and later Prince Rongshan who fed their appetites.
Military Advisor Mo knew very well that Gu Beiheng hated such people.
They offered a reasonable range of conditions, which in the eyes of the local tyrants was not as good as the soup they usually drank. Naturally, they were unwilling to cooperate in opening a shop. After all, they had the subsidies from the old prince of Rongshan to close the shop.
Those ordinary people will make trouble if they can't buy things.
The Gu family army went out to maintain order, and all the yamen runners in front of the government office were also sent out. Anyone who disrupted other people's shops was beaten violently.
The yamen runner was a little hesitant, "It's against the law to start a fight over a disagreement. We have to arrest and detain them first."
"You have a place to hold them at home, but you still want to support those people?" Ying Yi asked coldly. "Just beat them up and that's it. Beat them so hard they can't get out of bed and see how they cause trouble."
The yamen runner swallowed his saliva and thought, "Oh my god, isn't this a bandit?"
No wonder they say that a scholar cannot explain himself when he meets a soldier.
They don't try to reason with you, they just beat you up.
"Got it." The deafening voice of the Gu family army sounded, and they lined up to go out on patrol.
The yamen runners of Yanling Prefecture also went out on patrol under the leadership of Ying Liu and others.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi also went out.
Not many shops were open yet. Some men in black came out to smash things up, but were beaten up as soon as they got to the street.
Some people also pretended to be shoppers and deliberately caused trouble.
Naturally, he was beaten up by the patrolmen, and he ignored their calls for a lawyer. In Gu Beiheng's words, what's the point of trying to reason with someone who's causing trouble?
Just like when the snowstorm hit Mingfeng Town, just beat them. If beating them doesn't work, it must be too light.
Continue beating.
As a result, the streets were full of people beating others and being beaten.
Strangely enough, ordinary people are not implicated.
These people seemed to be able to judge people and knew who were the troublemakers.
By the next day, more shops had opened.
Su Qi also welcomed the arrival of the Su family.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng were waiting at the door to greet Su Jingmo and Yun Manyu. Su Jingmo was dressed in a lake blue embroidered brocade robe, exuding the dignity and elegance of an official.
He is a man in his forties, with a tall figure and good looks.
Yun Manyu wore a matching satin dress embroidered with a magpie climbing a branch. Her hair was tied up in a dignified bun, with several jade hairpins and a golden hairpin twirling through it.
Su Qi walked up to her, unable to suppress the grievance and discomfort in her heart. She couldn't explain why it was like this.
"mother."
"My Qiqi." Yun Manyu held Su Qi in her arms and began to sob.
The concubines standing nearby all wiped their eyes with handkerchiefs. Aunt Feng cried, "Since the second young lady left the capital, my sister has missed her every day. Now that we have met, we must be very happy."
"That's right. Sister's crying made us cry too."
Yun Manyu let go of Su Qi and looked her up and down. Seeing her daughter becoming more experienced and more like a matriarch, she felt both indescribable relief and sadness.
With red eyes, she laughed and scolded Aunt Feng and the others, "I'm naturally happy to see Qiqi, but you guys are just here to cause trouble."
"You come here to make trouble. Second Miss, come and let us see. We miss you as much as your sister does." Several concubines came up and held Su Qi's hands, and the love between their eyebrows was sincere.
Su Qi was really curious about how Yun Manyu could get along with these concubines better than her own sisters.
Su Qi called several aunts one by one, and finally bowed and called Su Jingmo "father".
Su Jingmo didn't mind that Su Qi didn't bow to him first, as per the rules. Instead, he nodded with a smile on his face, "Just call me daddy. You always called me that before. You're not afraid of me at all."
Su Qi burst into tears again after hearing these words. "Daddy."
Yun Manyu glared at Su Jingmo and said unhappily, "You've made our daughter cry again."
Su Jingmo gave Yun Manyu a flattering look, stepped closer and said, "Madam, please give me some face. This is in front of my son-in-law and the others."
"Qiqi. Is this my mother-in-law and father-in-law?" Qin Wan had already come out with the support of Bai Zhi.
Yun Manyu and Su Jingmo were surprised. This wasn't the Gu family's eldest lady. Besides, Concubine Liu's gentle and timid demeanor didn't seem like someone so gentle, dignified, and generous.
