Chapter 145 Self-degradation
When the dust settled, Pei Yan, riding a horse, stood in front of the gate with his men.
At best, it can be considered a gate.
Because the original turning door had been blown open along with the door and the wall, and most of it was broken, it looked like a new door wide open.
Everyone outside gathered around, and everything inside was in full view.
The women wearing veils and hats were so scared that they wanted to hide. The male waiters had been trained and instinctively stood in front of all the customers. They did their job conscientiously and this did calm the situation down a little.
Pei Yan was still wearing the armor of the Yulin Guard, sitting on a tall horse, looking down at the men and women in the hall, his eyes full of contempt and disgust.
"It's really a filthy place!" Thinking that Yue Heyun had dared to fool around in such a place behind his back, he tightened his grip on the knife and shouted angrily, "Yue Heyun! Get out!"
Mrs. Pei was so frightened that she immediately crawled down, fearing that Pei Yan would discover her.
Seeing her like this, Su Rui frowned and had to get up and go out.
Mrs. Pei wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end. She just saw Su Rui going down the stairs through the gap in the window.
She held her back straight and walked steadily, as if it was not her shop door that was blown open and nothing had happened.
When Pei Yan saw Su Rui coming down, hatred in his eyes grew stronger.
She had narrowly escaped death in the matter of the eldest prince, and he had not yet settled accounts with this witch. Now she was secretly instigating Yue Heyun to get involved with her, bringing him shame in such a place.
"Calculate how much was damaged and give the bill to Deputy Commander Pei." Su Rui said to the shopkeeper.
When Pei Yan heard that she still wanted to settle the score with him, he laughed out of anger.
"You still want to settle accounts with me? Concubine Su, do you really think you're someone important?"
Su Rui turned her head and said with a smile, "What does it matter if I'm a person of high status or not? The laws of the Great Zhao state that if you destroy other people's property, you must compensate them. So, can Deputy Commander Pei disobey the laws of the Great Zhao?"
Pei Yan was choked.
The first time he saw her, he saw how eloquent this witch was and how she could confuse right and wrong.
"Where are you from? How dare you talk to me about laws?"
"What kind of place am I? I'm open for business." Su Rui said it very naturally, as if there was nothing shameful about this place.
"It's like a brothel with men serving men, and you dare to call it a place for business? Concubine Su brought all the things she had in the border areas to use in the capital."
Su Rui glanced at the male servants in the hall slowly and said, "It's true that the servants here are male servants, but they are all well-dressed. How can they serve you with their beauty? There are so many shops on Jinling Street, and so many women serving customers. Why didn't Deputy Commander Pei say that they were comparable to brothels? Why is it that serving customers with women is a normal business, but serving men is not?"
yes.
Why can’t male waiters serve guests normally?
Many of the female guests who had originally lowered their heads to avoid shame now raised their heads.
They had come several times, and although they always wore veils and hats and never showed their true faces to others, after interacting with them, they found that these male waiters were just providing normal services, except that they were more considerate and attentive than ordinary men.
But this is what the waiters in the shop are supposed to do. Other shops that employ girls do even worse, and even let the girls wear cool clothes to attract customers. I have never seen these men say that they treat people with sex, which is comparable to a brothel.
Why should they be sneaky, trampled on, humiliated and slandered just because their identities have changed?
They were just here to buy rouge and perfume, not to look for male officials.
Some people who were so angry even took off their veils on the spot.
If there is one, there will be two.
Seeing that these women were like possessed women with no regard for their moral integrity, and thinking that Yue Heyun was the same, Pei Yan glared at Su Rui, turned around and dismounted to move forward.
Zhuiyue and three other secret guards immediately rushed out and stood in front of Pei Yan.
Pei Yan was sure that it was Zhuiyue. Seeing that he was actually staying by Su Rui's side, it meant that Yun Ji actually supported this evil woman. Just like how he had reversed right and wrong to exonerate her in the past, he was completely bewitched by her.
"Get out of the way! I'm here to look for Yue Heyun. What right do you have to stop me?"
He doesn't care about the people around him.
Yue Heyun can’t do it!
"Who is Yue Heyun? I don't know her." Su Rui looked confused, as if she didn't know this person.
"This shop belongs to Yue Heyun, are you still trying to play dumb?"
"Oh! Madam Pei." Su Rui suddenly realized and said in a loud voice.
Pei Yan's face immediately turned red with anger, and he wanted to cover Su Rui's mouth, but Zhuiyue and the others blocked his way like a wall.
Not wanting to embarrass herself further, she shouted angrily, "Get her out!"
Su Rui really disliked Pei Yan, and had disliked him since the first time she met him.
He's not very smart and impulsive.
Like Su Ye, who was luckier, after listening to what Mrs. Pei said, although she did not like to meddle in other people's affairs, she could not bear to see such people being proud.
"Deputy Commander Pei, do you know why Madam Pei came here? And why she agreed to let me use the shop?"
"It's just self-degradation!"
Pei Yan snorted coldly. A merchant's daughter was so foolish that she mixed with such a witch for a few bottles of ointment and tried to seduce him like the witch had seduced Yun Ji.
She even started acting like a mistress as soon as she showed her a friendly look. If he hadn't discovered it today, who knows how far that stupid woman would have gone.
Su Rui glanced upstairs, but couldn't see Madam Pei. It seemed that she was crying again.
After doing so much, all I got in return was the word "self-degradation". How embarrassing and ironic.
Perhaps because they were both women, or perhaps because she had become more sentimental recently, she waved her hand and said, "Mrs. Pei wasn't here today. Deputy Commander Pei has come to the wrong place. Pay the compensation and leave. Don't disturb me while I'm doing business."
Su Rui turned around and went upstairs. The shopkeeper had already asked someone to calculate the losses and handed the list to Pei Yan.
Looking at the compensation list that was detailed down to the last nail, Pei Yan felt humiliated.
A military slave, relying only on Yun Ji, dares to humiliate him everywhere!
He grabbed the list and tore it into pieces, roaring, "Yue Heyun is clearly here, and you still want to confuse her? You're holding a grudge against me for arresting you in the Grand Prince's private courtyard, and you're deliberately seeking revenge on me, right? You're dreaming! Someone, come! The Su family's daughter is using allegory to deceive the crowd and kidnap Yue Heyun. Search her!"
The people behind him immediately obeyed the order, and Zhuiyue and the three secret guards immediately responded to the battle.
Although there are only four of them, they are among the most capable secret guards, and they are in a small space. Even if they are facing a small team of Yulin Army, it is not a problem for them to fight ten of them with one.
The waiters in the store systematically led the customers to evacuate from the back, but Su Rui did not stop going upstairs.
She believed that Zhuiyue and the others would not be able to get in with Pei Yan.
I think the people from the Pei family will be here soon.
At this moment, Su Rui saw Mrs. Pei running down the stairs with a panicked and anxious face.
She was wondering why she came out at this time. Before she could ask, she saw her rushing over, hugging her and turning around.
Immediately afterwards, a shockwave hit her chest, knocking Su Rui against the wall.
Smell of blood!
Looking down, I saw a sharp weapon protruding from Mrs. Pei's chest, which was the head of a small crossbow arrow.
Looking forward, he saw that it was shot out from Pei Yan's sleeve.
