Emperor Jing and the three ministers were shocked by what happened in the tavern.
Zhang Dongxiang seemed to be thinking about something, and muttered: "It is said that the people are stubborn and ignorant, and merchants are not in charge of wealth, but the people here are actually enthusiastic and helpful, and the merchants can be regarded as righteous merchants."
"I never thought that Banshanfang could be managed like this. It's really shameful!"
Li Yansong stared at the empty table and said, "It is human nature to pursue profit, and all merchants in the world are no exception. But the restaurant and Chen Ji next door are not like ordinary merchants who haggle over every penny."
"Of course, part of the reason is that the government pays for it, but in my opinion, it is more important that they can live in such a safe environment so that they can continue their business for a long time with peace of mind, and at the same time they are willing to lend a helping hand to others."
"What if these merchants are in Dengjinfang? Then we can only close the door and refuse visitors. We are lucky to be able to keep our family safe."
"Even ordinary people in Banshanfang have become eager to help others. Good! Really good!"
Emperor Jing nodded and smiled, then waved to the waiter.
The waiter came over and asked enthusiastically, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Emperor Jing asked, "Let me ask you, do you know those people who just left? Who are they?"
The waiter clapped his hands and said happily, "I know! Those scholars are quite famous in our Banshanfang."
“The one in the lead is called Shen Yi!”
“They are all opera lovers, who discuss operas in Banshanfang every day, or read in the reading corner.”
"Usually, they are happy to tell their stories and are willing to share them with everyone. Over time, they even started to rate and rank the plays in Ban Shan Fang."
"You know what, their scoring is really accurate. Now even the daily rehearsals in the square are affected by them."
"It's a pity that the square is closed due to heavy rains these days. It's so sad!"
After saying this, the waiter shook his head regretfully. Life was really hard without free shows to watch.
Zheng Qiao was also quite interested in opera, so he interrupted and asked, "So were there any good operas a few days ago?"
The waiter waved his fingers and thought about it, then said, "Yes! There was a new play a few days ago, it was filmed very well, and it was written by Mr. Sai."
"It tells the story of His Majesty who is so busy with state affairs that he has no appetite. Mr. Sai takes the trouble to personally squeeze vegetable oil for His Majesty. Then Mr. Sai... finally His Majesty is refreshed after eating it and works hard to govern the country."
"The name of the play is... I Donate Cooking Oil to the Motherland, and the reviewer gave it a score of nine!"
After the waiter finished speaking, everyone at the table fell silent.
Zheng Qiao wanted to slap himself twice!
I just need to ask this question! Fang Zhengyi takes pictures wherever he goes. Damn it, I give in!
Emperor Jing was shocked because Fang Zhengyi had really sent a barrel of vegetable oil to the palace some time ago, and he even asked the imperial kitchen to cook it.
Anyway, I felt really good after eating it...I didn't expect there was such a story behind it.
Emperor Jing casually sighed: "Fang Zhengyi is thoughtful."
Blanch! It actually works!!!
The faces of the three elders twitched violently.
Emperor Jing continued to ask: "Who are the people wearing black at the other table?"
"That group is a famous local gang, the Fenghuo Gang, and they are a bunch of hooligans." The waiter had an indifferent expression.
Emperor Jing and others looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect that this group of people were actually a bunch of scoundrels and yet so kind?
"Since they are gang members, aren't you afraid of them?"
The waiter chuckled and said, "So he was afraid. I don't know what happened recently, but he suddenly started to change his ways."
"They are not as noisy and threatening as usual. Instead, they often do good things. People in the neighborhood are used to it. It's good to have them around."
Emperor Jing and others were silent.
What kind of magical trick is this that can make people suddenly turn over a new leaf... Could it be that he has been poisoned?
How would they know what happened between Master Ji and Fang Zhengyi?
Since surrendering to the government, Zhang Biao and Ji Erye quickly wiped out all the gangster gangs, big and small, in the north city.
Originally, Master Ji was extremely proud and thought that he was also a bully in Beijing.
But once the excitement wore off, people started to panic.
After witnessing Zhang Biao's extraordinary fighting power and ruthless style of doing things, Master Ji couldn't sleep anyway.
Now that all the gangster gangs in the North City have been wiped out, there is only one person left for the authorities to deal with if they continue their investigation.
Who else could it be but myself?
After all, Master Ji is no fool to have become the gang leader. Not long after he unified North City, he began to frantically whitewash himself.
Start from the beginning to rectify the gang rules and strive to be a good person and do good deeds.
Although some of his men felt ashamed, Master Ji didn't care. Anyone who dared to object was dragged into the house and beaten until they surrendered.
Moreover, relying on his excellent professional qualities and the experience learned from acting as a drama critic, Ji Erye also set up a red and black list of brothels and gambling houses in the North City.
Gangster identification, quality assurance! People praise it.
In this way, it didn't take long for Master Ji's wallet and reputation to be established.
Fang Zhengyi was so angry that his teeth were itching. He didn't expect this bastard to be so cunning.
I often try to find a chance to knock this guy down, but Master Ji never has any flaws.
Fang Zhengyi didn't believe in those good people and good deeds.
He only believed in one thing.
Dogs always bite!
Under Fang Zhengyi's crazy picking on, Master Ji's behavior became more and more excessive.
Now Fenghuo Gang has become the largest property management organization in Banshanfang...
Emperor Jing exchanged glances with several elders and continued to say to the waiter: "Do you know where Mr. Sai is now? We want to meet him."
"You came at a coincidence. I just heard that Mr. Sai and Mr. Li are in a new restaurant on South Street called Xianheng Restaurant."
"Mr. Sai is usually there too. He orders a plate of fennel beans and sits there for a long time. He teaches the children to write or something when he has nothing to do."
"You go now, he should be there."
Emperor Jing waved his hand to let the waiter leave, then said to the three people: "Now go and see Fang Zhengyi and the others, I can't wait any longer!"
The three ministers smiled and nodded in agreement.
..............
In the Xianheng Restaurant, Fang Zheng sat at the counter, bored.
The shopkeeper at the counter was clacking his abacus.
There were several tables put together in the hall, and they were filled with vegetables and meat. They were eating hotpot.
People gathered around the table, including quite a few teenagers.
Li Yuanzhao was bragging enthusiastically and promoting the various things he had done during this period, which aroused the envy of a group of children.
When he got excited, Li Yuanzhao put his hands on his hips and laughed out loud.
Fang Zheng leaned on the counter with one hand, picked up a fennel bean and looked at him sideways, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes sighing...
