Bang~!
Seeing that the two sides are confronting each other, another conflict is about to break out.
Only heard a loud noise, a hammer and a crescent sickle passed over the heads of the crowd, and hit the ground heavily, separating Zhao Pan'er from the officers and soldiers.
The hammer seems to be hitting everyone's heart, and the sickle seems to be on everyone's neck.
Looking again, the sickle and hammer no longer exist, and everything is like an illusion.
The chaotic pier fell into a moment of silence, and finally there was a voice of angrily laughing from the crowd.
"Okay! What a business to replace labor, business to replace agriculture! The so-called business is talking about business, I think it means doing some business like Mrs. Zhao, and you just sit in the position of a businessman?"
At first, I heard someone applaud, and the scholars and merchants who were aroused by Zhao Paner were about to follow suit, but they heard the following words before they slapped.
For a while, the palms raised in mid-air were neither clapping nor not clapping.
Zhao Paner frowned slightly, raised her eyes to look at the two figures walking in the middle of the crowd, a trace of puzzlement and astonishment flashed in her eyes.
"Wine is brewed by workers, cloth is woven by women workers, grain is grown by farmers, and Bianjing City was built by the imperial court, farmers, and craftsmen. How many of the builders who rescued the river and cleaned up the silt were businessmen?"
Pedestrians on both sides of the road seemed to be separated by an invisible aura. Zhou Ji walked up step by step, looked at a drenched dock worker next to him and said, "Are you a businessman?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the man bowed his head and shrugged, not daring to answer.
Zhou Ji took another two steps, looked at another worker who was holding a bamboo rake and his trousers were covered with mud, and said, "Are you a businessman?"
The man subconsciously shook his head, and then realized that he seemed to have gotten into a catastrophe, so he took a step back in panic, bowing his head and shrinking his shoulders like the previous one, not daring to answer.
"A merchant makes wine, a merchant farms, and a merchant sells cloth. What is the merit of greedy heaven? This is called the merit of greedy heaven."
Zhou Ji asked all the way to the innermost part, glanced at Zhao Pan'er who was wearing a hat, and saw the "pure records" gathered behind her in clean and decent clothes, cheering for her, he sneered and said: "It can be seen You are all businessmen, right?"
"Mr. Zhou, I don't seem to have offended you, right? Don't forget, you are also a businessman!" Zhao Pan'er said with an ugly face, showing hatred.
"Don't get me wrong, girl, I don't have any malice towards the girl herself, but I just feel that you are deliberately elevating the status of a businessman, and your remarks just now obliterate the achievements of the working people, and you are suspected of laundering the land for capital."
Zhou Ji looked at Zhao Pan'er sincerely, and explained seriously, "I don't deny the value of businessmen. A stable social environment is maintained by invisible hands and tangible hands. Building roads; merchants are actually selling things, distinguishing between high and low, adjusting surplus and shortage, and measuring distance, moving materials from the east to the west, urging people's needs and needs, and seeking profit from price differences by buying east and west, as if invisible to open up the market and revitalize the economy."
"If you can't find what you buy, you can't find what you sell, and the market is stagnant, how can there be life?"
Song Yinzhang held the pipa and turned his eyes suspiciously to look at Zhou Ji's side face. The first half of the audience seemed to understand, but the second half was simple, but it gave her an inexplicable feeling
It’s as if the young master is about to sing out as he speaks.
On the other side, Zhao Pan'er's face was not so good-looking. She was clearly defending the businessman. She tried to change the concept secretly, but the other party pointed it out. She pursed her lips and glared at Zhou Ji with hatred, her eyes seemed to burst into flames.
Got~ These words must have offended someone again.
Zhou Ji suppressed the 'businessmen and merchants are too hurtful~~' that came up in the depths of his memory, turned around and looked at Ren Gang, who was mentioned in Kaifeng's prefecture, and said, "Ren said, the so-called wharf line is just the leader of the folk walks. The cleanup of the pier and the repair of the river course should be the responsibility of the general manager. Chi Yanei led people to work all night last night, so I should be more sympathetic to the Yameni. I must have brought so many people to the dock to change shifts, right?"
Zhou Ji said indifferently: "Chi Yanei, don't hand over the tools to Ren Tidian yet."
Suddenly, a noble young man appeared out of nowhere and slapped the little lady, thinking there was a gap between the two, but Zhou Ji finished slapping Zhao Pan'er, and turned to point the finger at himself.
Ren Tidian took a step forward from embarrassment, "Bold! I didn't expect you to be in the same group!"
"A few days ago there was a riot on the Bianhe River, and a group of suspects got away. I recognize them now, and it's you!" Ren Ti pulled out his saber, and Sun Sanniang, who was worried about the current situation of Wangyue Tower, passed by the pier and saw He rushed over in a hurry.
"Who dares!"
Seeing the officers and soldiers swarming up, Sun Sanniang took the lead to protect Zhou Ji and Song Yinzhang without asking why.
Chi Yanei's subordinates also took up the tools in their hands, and once again confronted the officers and soldiers.
Among the noise and chaos, there was a clear and sharp sound as if rocks were piercing through the air, and everyone was startled, and the movements of their hands stopped.
Song Yinzhang walked out with a plain face like a water lotus. After escaping from the extremely dangerous predicament last night, the timid, simple and ignorant little white rabbit in the past has become more determined and calm than imagined.
Ren Tidian looked at Song Yinzhang's attire, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"My surname is Song. I don't know if you can recognize these two characters on the pipa."
Song Yinzhang held up his pipa high, and under the sun, the word "strength of character" inscribed by Ke Zheng caught in Ren Tidian's eyes, making him feel a bad premonition.
"It's Mrs. Song, the lady who wrote the inscription personally by Ke Xiang!"
Sure enough, through the exclamation and discussion of the scholars and merchants next to him, Ren Ti pressed his hand with an ugly face, and signaled everyone to put down the knife for the time being.
"The three of us sisters run a tea house together on Ma Xing Street, and we eat and live together all day long. If they are really the rebels in the Hat Demon case as mentioned, then not only I cannot escape the responsibility, but I was given Mr. Ke Zheng Ke and Mr. Xiao Qinyan, who I mentioned the word 'strength of character', can't escape either!"
Song Yinzhang's voice was as firm as gold and stone, he raised his head slightly, but his gestures exuded an unprecedented brilliance, "As for this young master, he is a good friend of Lin Xianshi of the Shenxiao School. The few of us have been arrested and brought to justice, and I can also show you the way to the prime minister's mansion by the way!"
Zhou Ji gave Song Yinzhang a look, as if asking again: 'When did Jiaofang allow you to live with them? '
Although there was no verbal exchange, Song Yinzhang seemed to understand what he meant.
At this moment, Song Yinzhang finally realized the suffocation that Si Teng was dismantled by Zhou Ji all day long.
Song Yinzhang had no choice but to put on a straight face, hugged the pipa with a full face of arrogance, and shook Ren Tidian's eyes with the word "strength of character" written by Ke Xiangti.
Ren Tidian panicked now.
The name of Mrs. Song spread throughout the capital, and just by looking at the reactions of the people around her, one knew that these two words could never be faked.
Shenxiao sent Lin Xianshigui as the current national teacher, but she is a real living fairy, even if she had ten guts, she wouldn't dare to talk nonsense about it.
Ke Xianggong, Xiao Xianggong, Lin Xianshi and other big figures, none of them can be offended by any mention.
Under the eyes of everyone, Ren Tidian was full of anxiety, and said sternly: "Ms. Song, don't talk nonsense. The hat demon case is of great importance. All the ministers are high-ranking officials in the court, how can they bite you arbitrarily!"
"Is it a biting thing? You'll know after the first trial? The one in charge of the hat demon case seems to be the Imperial City Secretary, right? When did it become something you, Kaifeng River Affairs Office, brought up again?"
Just now, Ren Tidian forced Chi Yanei to kneel down in public. He was furious in his heart, and said in a strange way, not letting the other party step down at all.
Kicking on the iron plate, Ren Ti pointed out how dare he really examine the people in front of him, the smug posture just now was completely gone, he put away his sword and gave a salute, bowed his hands and said: "Young master, and three ladies, please drink more!" Drinking two bowls of yellow soup, and admitting to the wrong person because of an eye disease, please adults don’t remember the faults of villains! I will give you a big gift when I look back, I just ask you to hold your hands high!"
Seeing Ren Ti pointing out that he was a coward, the crowd laughed and pointed and discussed.
Everything seemed to be resolved satisfactorily. Amidst the laughter, Zhao Pan'er looked around. The crowd who were watching the excitement formed a big circle, and she was in the center of the circle. Their eyes all fell on Song Yinzhang who was confronting Ren Tidian. And Zhou Ji and the others.
An indescribable, unspeakable feeling rushed from the bottom of my heart, like resentment, like unwillingness.
Mingming Song Yinzhang has borrowed her own name to help everyone, Zhao Paner still came forward, looked at Ren with a sullen face and said: "Are you apologizing to us, do you think we are deliberately embarrassing you? Because you really feel that you have Is it wrong, or is it forced by the power of high-ranking officials to do it?"
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Zhou Ji approached Song Yinzhang with his head sideways, and whispered, "What is she doing?"
The warm breath sprayed on the ears, crisp and itchy, as if flowing into the heart through the crystal clear earlobes.
Song Yinzhang's cheeks turned red, and he shook his head lightly, expressing that he didn't know.
Ren Tidian looked at Zhao Pan'er silently, and also couldn't figure out why this little lady would not let her go when she had clearly backed down.
"Creating something out of nothing, revenge out of anger, is bullying; high-level inscriptions, relatives and friends are also bullying. There is no difference between the two!"
Zhao Pan'er felt that the other party was speechless, raised her voice, and said righteously, "We are all from Tokyo, we drink water from the Bian River, and live in Kaifeng Mansion. We have suffered such a big natural disaster, and no one feels good. No Wrong, we are just peddlers, merchants and city people, we are not as noble as scholars, and we are not as brave as soldiers."
Zhou Ji frowned, and couldn't help but glance at Song Yinzhang when he heard that 'the inscriptions of senior officials are also bullying others'.
In order to gain fame, I still want to step on someone's foot at this time. It's really cheap and good-looking.
Hearing that Zhao Pan'er called himself a "peddler and pawn", even Song Yinzhang couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Zhao Pan'er in surprise.
"What's so surprising about this?" Zhou Ji sneered, and said disdainfully: "The standards are diverse and the bottom line is flexible. You, Miss Pan, talk about people and talk nonsense when you don't need it. At that time, I was a 'trafficker and a pawn'... Heh~ the one who used this set of punches must be an old woman, right?"
Song Yinzhang finally couldn't help giving Zhou Ji a blank look, and said coquettishly, "Didn't you say that you didn't have any malice towards Sister Pan'er? Now you're saying that about her~!"
"That's right, I really don't have any malice towards her." Zhou Ji glanced at the celestial-like beautiful figure in the crowd, coughed lightly and said, "I'm not right about the show~"
After Zhao Pan'er's instigation, the surrounding crowd seemed excited again. Ren Tidian knew that if he didn't go downhill, he would cause even bigger troubles.
So, he made a face full of shame, and bowed deeply to Zhao Pan'er again: "Thank you, Mrs. Zhao, for reminding me, Ren is at fault."
"Don't dare. The best way to eliminate misunderstandings is to turn enemies into friends. As long as you share your sorrows and joys with the people, your reputation will surely spread far and wide." Zhao Pan'er finally smiled, looked around and said, "Fathers and folks , I would like to bring everyone together to repair the river, do you agree?"
"Good!" "Good!" "Good!"
Under the instigation of Zhao Paner, the recorders waved their hands in response, but these recorders joined in the excitement and waved their flags, which really made them go to work, and they ran faster than anyone else.
Ren Tidian took a deep look at Zhao Pan'er, frowned and glanced around, then laughed, "How dare you bother others to help, in fact, as this young man said, Ren heard that it was too hard for the yamen to lead people to clean the river all night. I specially brought someone over to change shifts."
Ren Ti pointed and motioned to the left and right, "You...you...why are you still standing there, get the tools!"
The officers and soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. Hearing the order from the superior, they had to take over the dock workers' tools and help clean up the mud on the ground.
Seeing that Zhao Pan'er was about to leave, Chi Yanei remembered the matter of deliberately making things difficult for the other party earlier, after some entanglement, he dropped the bamboo rake and chased after a few people, knelt down on the muddy ground, and just kowtowed at Zhao Pan'er in front of the public four heads.
"What are you doing?" Sun Sanniang asked in surprise.
"This is the three hundred IOUs you borrowed that day." Chi Yanei straightened up, took out the IOUs and tore them up, "Ruanwu, I can't pay you back, but I forced you to kowtow three times that day, and now I pay you back on the street. Four, now it's clear!"
"What three hundred guan? What soft dance? And kowtow?"
Song Yinzhang was dealing with Shen Ruzhuo before, and he didn't know what happened to the little sisters.
Even Sun Sanniang's face turned blue and white.
What happened that day is hard to tell after all.
Zhao Pan'er can't tell Song Yinzhang that for money, she asked Chi Yanei to dance the brothel soft dance for him, and even knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Not only Song Yinzhang, but even Sun Sanniang she never mentioned.
"Earlier, I recruited you to come to Jiaofang to find me, saying that you were going to close the teahouse and open a restaurant instead, and asked me if I wanted to take out the income and investment of the teahouse." Song Yinzhang covered his mouth and said, "Is it because of this? thing?"
Zhao Pan'er pursed her lips, did not answer, turned to look down at Chi Yanei and said, "Okay, get up. One yard is worth one yard. Even if there is no IOU, I will pay you back the three hundred guan that I owe you. Hurry up." Go back to the pier."
