Chapter 1943 In short, don’t owe others
He didn't know where to begin.
He only said, "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
Zhu Feng looked up outside. It was already pitch black. Even though there were lanterns hanging under the eaves, they could only illuminate a small area. The entire Lianxin Club had completely merged into the night, and it was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.
He asked, "What's the situation outside?"
Ye Zheng said, "I've had people conduct a rough survey. Fortunately, those people intended to set fire to the people inside to suffocate them before entering to assassinate them. The fire was mostly on the river surface. Several stone bridges were slightly damaged. The rest were just some flowers, plants, and trees. They're all easy to deal with."
"Um."
"The only area where the emperor lived before is in a more serious situation."
"All burned?"
"Yes, most of the buildings have collapsed."
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let them check what was burned here and report the number tomorrow. Then we can talk to the owner of this place and make sure they pay what they owe. Don't cause any trouble."
Ye Zheng said: "This humble official also meant the same thing and has already given the order, but——"
"But what?"
"But the servants here said they couldn't see the master either."
"What?"
Zhu Feng frowned when he heard this.
He immediately turned to look at Xue Yun standing beside him and said, "Who is the owner of this Lotus Heart Hall? Do you know?"
Xue Yun was also stunned for a moment and said, "I, we don't know each other either."
"Didn't you say that wealthy businessmen from Bailong City often come here to entertain guests?"
"yes."
"So they haven't seen the master either?"
Xue Yun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty brought people here, but you didn't see him either, didn't you?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.
Ye Zheng said from the side: "When Ying Shao came here to rent this place, there was no owner. He just talked to the person in charge here. It is said that he has never seen the owner either. He was just hired to manage the business."
"Where's the man who hired him?"
"I heard that he is not the master either."
“…”
Zhu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "This is quite interesting."
“…”
"Then how do these people work for him?"
"From what they said, everyone here has their own duties. There are gardeners who take care of the flowers and trees; there are cooks who are responsible for working in the kitchen; there are also guards, maids and servants. It seems that the staff is quite complete."
"How will the workers be paid?"
"Every year, someone gives money to the manager, including his share. After receiving it, he works here. After working for a year, he can receive more. If anyone doesn't work hard, he won't get any money the next year."
“…”
"Ying Shao said that he was a little worried when he booked this place. But the Lotus Heart Hall has been in Bailong City for quite a while. I heard that many wealthy families here have held banquets here, so there's nothing wrong with it."
Ye Zheng said this and looked at Xue Yun.
Xue Yun also nodded: "Everyone in the city knows it."
Zhu Feng said, "If that's the case, then talk to their manager. In short, don't owe them anything."
"I understand."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Seeing that Ye Zheng was about to leave, Xue Yun turned to look at Zhu Feng, preparing to continue what he had not finished saying just now.
But at this time, Zhu Feng said again: "Wait a moment."
Ye Zheng stopped immediately and looked back at him.
Zhu Feng said: "Also, send someone back overnight to tell the imperial concubine. Just say -"
