Chapter 227 Martial Arts Pavilion Acquired
"Little Chiki, Little Ai Ai..."
Wei Shuyu suddenly shouted at the two men, "Seal off Wuyun Pavilion and confiscate all the authentic works of famous scholars that they have hidden there!"
"Anyone who dares to obstruct this will be punished in the name of hindering the pro-merchant policy..."
After scanning all the sons of military officers, Wei Shuyu roared with murderous intent, "Kill them all without mercy!"
Wei Shuyu is getting serious.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine.
Such a decisive and efficient work style.
In Xu Jingzong's eyes, it was as if he saw Wei Zheng from back then.
As long as there's something fishy going on.
Regardless of your status, the law will be enforced impartially!
"Okay."
The two agreed.
He stood up abruptly, raised his head, and pushed aside the several military officers' sons who were watching them, like two victorious roosters!
“Your Wenyun Pavilion also has many authentic works by famous scholars…” Li Siwen retorted unwillingly.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Wei Shuyu readily admitted it.
"Then why are you only granting titles to our Martial Arts Pavilion!"
Li Siwen roared hysterically, "You're collecting genuine works by famous scholars, that's treason too!"
"Are you kidding me?"
Wei Shuyu scoffed, "My Wenyun Pavilion doesn't put anything out for sale."
Everyone was stunned.
That seems to be true.
The authentic works of famous figures in Wenyun Pavilion are more of a symbol.
This symbolizes that the policy of valuing commerce was supported by the court officials.
"I'll tell you a secret..."
Wei Shuyu said with a smile, "My Wenyun Pavilion not only has the authentic works of famous scholars, but also His Majesty's authentic works!"
"Could it be... that you're trying to say His Majesty is rebelling?"
Li Siwen wanted to retort, but suddenly...
*Smack*
Li Chongyi smacked him on the head with a backhand motion.
"Chongyi, what are you doing?" Li Siwen glared at him angrily.
"Fuck you, you big dummy!"
Li Chongyi scolded.
They've already been accused of treason, and they're still criticizing and attacking them.
You think you have too much life? We don't...
"What do we do now?"
The group of people foolishly began to discuss.
"I don't know."
"There's no other way..."
"Is our Wuyun Pavilion just going to be shut down like this?"
"We spent over 30,000 strings of cash on opening shops, making folding fans, and donating to the Imperial College... in total!"
The thought of that money makes my heart ache.
Many military commanders were newly risen officials who fought their way up from the bottom.
It lacks depth of cultural heritage.
Not to mention they have no income yet.
This loss is so bad, it's heartbreaking.
"Wei Shuyu!"
Li Tai, who was hiding in Cuiyun Residence, finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Well...
Sipping wine and enjoying snacks, watching Xiao Wei get his comeuppance, he pocketed a fortune.
That was quite pleasant.
Who knew things would turn out this way?
"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Wei!"
As the sons of military officers clasped their hands in greeting, everyone else followed suit.
"Shuyu...did you go too far by doing this?"
Li Tai spoke tactfully.
He collected all the calligraphy and paintings of famous scholars, and if Wei Shuyu really got serious, he would definitely be the one who suffered the most.
"It's over again?"
Unconsciously, Wei Shuyu turned his gaze to Xu Jingzong.
At this moment, Xu Jingzong was no longer the sanctimonious man he had been before.
He stood listlessly on the attic, his hands hanging limply, his back hunched, looking as if he had aged more than ten years.
"no……"
Li Tai seemed to realize his slip of the tongue and quickly corrected himself, saying, "What I meant was, isn't this a bit of an overreaction?"
"Wu Yunge is suspected of treason. You're saying this is making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Wei Shuyu looked at Li Tai with a smile.
Weren't you quite arrogant before you came?
Why are you backing down now?
"Could we speak in private?"
Li Tai glanced at the onlookers and felt immense pressure.
"Can!"
Wei Shuyu nodded in agreement.
Li Shimin could not possibly punish so many people severely; in the end, the matter would definitely be dropped.
Instead, let's exchange it for something more tangible.
The two entered the Martial Arts Pavilion.
The military men who had previously bared their teeth at Wei Shuyu now hung their heads, their faces filled with dejection.
"Shuyu, if this matter gets blown up, it won't be good for anyone. Do you think we can settle this privately?"
Inside Wuyun Pavilion.
Li Tai invited Wei Shuyu to sit down, while the rest of the people stood aside waiting for orders.
On the table.
There are also more than twenty genuine works by famous scholars on display!
"This matter has blown up."
Wei Shuyu pointed to the people below the pavilion: "Thousands of eyes are watching."
"As long as you're willing to back down, I can suppress this matter!" Li Tai said through gritted teeth.
"My father is Wei Zheng!"
Wei Shuyu laughed and said, "If I loosen my grip, my buttocks will be in for a world of hurt..."
Using Wei Zheng to suppress me?
Ironically, in this respect, Lao Wei completely outclassed Da Tang.
No matter which faction has the leverage over you, as long as there are benefits to be gained, there's always room for negotiation.
But Wei Zheng...
Alone, he is not greedy for money, power, or beauty...
Her only hobbies are spinach and celery.
We can't possibly buy up all the vegetables in Chang'an to threaten Lao Wei, can we?
Old Wei will impeach you for monopolizing the vegetable market!
"Shuyu, you agreed to speak privately, so you probably don't want things to escalate, right?"
"Just tell me what you want!"
Wei Shuyu raised an eyebrow.
It must be said that Li Tai is quite intelligent; he knows to swallow his pride and cut his losses in time.
Li Chengqian might not have been able to do it this way.
"It's not impossible, but..."
Wei Shuyu glanced around Wuyun Pavilion: "Our Wenyun Pavilion seems a bit cramped..."
Li Tai frowned.
Is this because they've set their sights on Wu Yun Ge?
In order to completely overthrow Wenyunge, Wuyunge far surpasses Wenyunge in terms of both land area and decoration level.
"You bastard!"
Cheng Huailiang shouted, "Do you know how many strings of cash this Wuyun Pavilion costs?"
"How many strings of cash?"
Wei Shuyu asked in a cooperative manner.
"A full six thousand strings of cash!"
Cheng Huailiang said with heartache.
Wei Shuyu chuckled inwardly, thinking, "If it weren't so expensive, I wouldn't want it."
"Wow, that's so expensive..."
Wei Shuyu feigned shock and said, "So the cost of rebellion is this high now..."
Cheng Huailiang was speechless for a moment.
His face flushed red, he wanted to curse but dared not.
For someone with a military personality like him, this was truly incredibly frustrating.
"Shuyu, Wuyun Pavilion was built up by everyone emptying their pockets. If you want it, I can decide to sell it to you at a lower price..."
Li Tai made concessions.
Although the sons of military officers felt the pinch, they could only swallow their anger and suffer in silence.
But would Wei Shuyu fall for this?
Why should I spend money if I can get something for free?
"It's okay, no need to haggle."
"Anyway, it's a foregone conclusion that Wuyun Pavilion will be raided."
"I will apply to His Majesty to incorporate the Martial Arts Pavilion into the Literary Arts Pavilion."
Everyone's eyes twitched.
What can Wu Yun Pavilion do after it has been raided?
It's useless.
If Wei Shuyu were to apply to His Majesty, His Majesty would most likely agree...
"Wei Shuyu!"
Li Tai slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "You really won't give me the slightest bit of face?"
Wei Shuyu blinked, then took out a brocade: "The junior physician in charge of supervision..."
Grass!
This worthless junior doctor made me walk from near the palace to here.
It's summer!
I'm still fat!
My back is still wet...
"Stop talking."
Li Tai gritted his teeth and shouted, "Wu Yun Pavilion, here you go!"
