Chapter 114

Tang Yin lost interest in continuing shopping after the three men made such a fuss. Just as he was about to go home, he heard the sound of music faintly coming from his ears.

He looked for the reputation, and it turned out that there was a rather grand teahouse not far away, and the music was coming from there.

Tang Yin greeted Qiu Zhen and walked over casually.

The teahouse is divided into two floors. The space inside is very spacious and very clean. Looking inside, the innermost part is a stage that is about half a person high. At this time, someone is performing on the stage, talking and singing, but it is not Peking Opera. The genre is somewhat similar to modern dramas.

It was the first time for Tang Yin to see this kind of drama. He was very interested. He found a place to sit down and watched it attentively.

The plays performed on stage were very civilian, and the costumes and props were very rough and rudimentary, but considering the background at that time, it was considered very rare.

At this time, a scene was being played in which a home was trampled by barbarian soldiers. This resonated with many guests in the audience, and many people shed tears while watching it.

Just when the atmosphere in the venue was filled with sadness, a man in black suddenly appeared on the stage holding a wooden knife. He led the wind soldiers to kill the tyrannical barbarians one by one. At this time, there was a burst of applause and cheers from the audience, and the teahouse The atmosphere quickly became heated.

Qiu Zhen grinned and whispered to Tang Yin beside him: "Brother Tang, I am playing you!"

"Oh?" Tang Yin perked up and looked even more attentively. He didn't even hear the waiter coming up to ask about something.

Qiu Zhen ordered a pot of tea, two stacks of melon seeds and peanuts, and continued reading with Tang Yin.

On the stage, the man in black defeated the barbarians and was respected by the people. He was cheered and supported by the wind army and left arrogantly. But before the people could celebrate, a group of rough-dressed men rushed onto the stage and bullied them. The people beat and robbed, causing the people to cry and scream.

If Tang Yin hadn't visited the night market and seen the bullies bullying the vendors, he would have just thought it was a show and had no practical significance. But looking at this now, he felt something in his heart. It seems that in the hearts of the people, there is hatred for the bullies. Even worse than the barbarian soldiers, if they can't be rectified in time, what's the point?

He silently made up his mind that after returning, the first thing he had to do was to get rid of all these bullies and the protective umbrellas above them.

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud noise from the door of the tea house, and then dozens of Feng soldiers rushed towards him with spears in hand.

This is not an act, these are real Fengjun soldiers, and the weapons in their hands are also real ones.

"Stop! Don't act! Don't act anymore!" A man who looked like a captain walked out of the Feng Army. He held the hilt of his sword and swept around the teahouse with his eyes like lightning.

The guests in the teahouse and the people performing on the stage were all shocked. They didn't understand what had happened and why so many officers and soldiers suddenly appeared.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse was a middle-aged man in his early fifties. He walked around the counter and hurried forward. He forced a smile without smiling, nodded and bowed and asked: "Master, what happened? Why..."

"What happened?" The captain leading the team reached out and grabbed the manager by the collar and shouted: "What kind of show are you playing? You are deceiving the public with your lies. I am going to close down the teahouse now. Anyone who is not involved should leave immediately!"

Wow - as soon as the captain of the officers and soldiers finished speaking, the guests in the teahouse hurriedly stood up and rushed out. As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. No matter how dissatisfied the ordinary people are, they do not dare to challenge the officers and soldiers. A conflict occurs.

The teahouse manager looked extremely sad, but he had no choice but to watch the guests flee, helpless.

Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen naturally did not run away. They were both guessing which regiment this Fengjun team belonged to and why they had such great authority to seal down teahouses in the city at will.

"What's wrong with us? Why are we being banned?"

At this time, a delicate female voice came from behind the stage, and following the words, a young woman walked out from behind the stage.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with pink and white skin, as beautiful as a flower, and beautiful facial features that were carefully carved. Before the person arrived, the charming musk had already rushed towards her. Even Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen, who have seen the world, couldn't help but secretly praise: So beautiful!

Seeing such a beautiful woman, the captain of the officers and soldiers unconsciously froze, his eyes were so straight that their eyeballs almost flew out of their eye frames, and the hand that grabbed the shopkeeper's collar subconsciously loosened his grip.

"You..." After an unknown amount of time, the captain of the officers and soldiers finally recovered from the shock. His eyes greedily roamed over the woman's exquisite body. He swallowed his saliva and asked pretending to be calm: "Who is the lady? ?”

The young woman came closer and ignored him. Instead, she supported the manager and asked, "Uncle Zhong, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, looked at the woman, and then at the squinting officer and soldier captain, with a worried look on his face, and whispered: "Miss, you..."

The woman smiled at him and hinted that he didn't need to worry. Then she looked at the captain and said softly, "I run this teahouse."

"Oh?" The captain of the officers and soldiers was worried that he couldn't find an excuse. When he heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he sneered: "That's just right. Come with us!"

"Why?"

"Your teahouse, in the name of acting, confuses the public with monstrous words, provokes and incites people's emotions. This alone is enough to kill you."

"Haha!" Instead of looking nervous and frightened, the woman laughed out loud and said, "My teahouse is open all over the country. Why is it that it is safe and sound elsewhere, but here it becomes a monster and deceives the public? I see. It’s true that you guys have a guilty conscience and have ulterior motives!”

"Bold!" The captain of the officers and soldiers was furious when he heard this. He stretched out his hand, pretending to grab the woman.

The woman's face suddenly turned cold, and she said in a deep voice: "You are the bold one! If you want to seal up my Fan family's teahouse, you must first weigh your own wealth!"

Fan family? The captain of the officers and soldiers was stunned for a moment and asked: "Which Fan family?"

The young woman raised her pointed pink cheeks and asked, "Which Fan family is there in Feng Kingdom?"

"This..." Upon hearing this, the captain's expression changed slightly.

Tang Yin, who was originally watching the excitement, was puzzled. He didn't know why the captain's momentum immediately weakened when he heard the name of the Fan family.

Originally, he was dissatisfied with Feng Jun. He felt that they were bullying the weak and oppressing the merchants by randomly closing down the teahouse on the basis of a trumped-up charge. But now he began to lean towards Feng Jun and did not want to see his subordinates in front of outsiders. It was overwhelming, especially since the other party was only a woman in her early twenties.

He looked at Qiu Zhen suspiciously and asked him to answer his doubts.

Qiu Zhen stuck out his tongue and whispered: "Brother Tang, didn't you even tell the Fan family?"

Seeing the blank look in Tang Yin's eyes, he sighed secretly. Sometimes he really doubted whether Tang Yin was Feng Ren. He whispered in Tang Yin's ear: "The Fan family is the largest merchant in the country!"

What he said is not an exaggeration. The Fan family has a huge business in Fengguo. They not only operate teahouses, but also restaurants, hotels, jewelry, antiques, pawn shops, silver shops, etc., any business that is profitable They are all involved in every county in the country. The Fan family's cargo notes are universally accepted throughout the country. The reputation of the Fan family's banknotes is almost the same as that of government banknotes. Although the Fan family is not a noble, they rely on their vast wealth and have close relationships with the four major dignitaries of the royal court. Their strength and prestige are naturally far beyond what ordinary merchants can match.

Therefore, the young woman had the capital to be prepared, so the captain's arrogance was greatly reduced after hearing the name of the Fan family.

"If you are smart, you can leave now. I can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, not to mention you, even your boss, your boss's boss, and even the county magistrate of Pingyuan County will be miserable. !" After saying this, the young woman's face was as cold as frost, she flicked her sleeves, ignored him again, and turned back to the backstage.

She left, but she left the captain of the officers and soldiers in the cold.

It was not about catching her, nor was it about leaving. For a moment, it was difficult to get off the tiger, and the expressions on the captain's face were extremely ugly.

He looked ugly, and Tang Yin, who was watching the fun, looked pretty bad too.

He didn't know how big the Fan family's business was, but this woman's attitude was really unflattering. She was extremely arrogant, and even he was lifted up and stepped on by her. It was intolerable, but what was unacceptable? Tolerate.

Just when Tang Yin was about to stand up and stop the young woman from leaving, Qiu Zhen hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him in a low voice: "Sir, be patient, the Fan family cannot offend, and Pingyuan County cannot do without it if it wants to restore prosperity. Open the Fan family!”

Hearing this, most of the anger in Tang Yin's stomach suddenly vented, and he shook his head angrily, while his lips wriggled, and he didn't know what he was mumbling. Not in the mood to continue sitting down, he stood up and walked directly outside.

When passing by the officer and soldier captain who was standing there stupidly, he cursed in his heart that it was useless, embarrassing and conspicuous, and it was simply ruining the prestige of the Feng Army. Without saying anything else, he strode out of the teahouse.

As soon as he came out, he said to Qiu Zhen who was following him: "Check! Check which corps these officers and soldiers belong to, and whose command they directly belong to! One soldier is a raging enemy, and there will be a raging group of soldiers. Their corps commander should also be replaced. Lost!"

Qiu Zhen naturally understood that Tang Yin was angry now. He chuckled and said unhurriedly: "Okay, I will find out." After a pause, he looked at the still bustling night market and asked: "Brother Tang , shall we go shopping again?”

"No more shopping." Tang Yin waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go home!"

"Yes!" Qiu Zhen promised, but couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Tang Yin is decisive and resolute in his style, but he also shows childishness sometimes, which is not something you see often.

On the way back to the county magistrate's office, Tang Yin kept asking what kind of business the Fan family did and how big it was. Qiu Zhen knew everything and explained everything one by one. Tang Yin listened and chatted, and at the same time he had a general understanding of the size and strength of the Fan family.
