Hearing this familiar voice, the people stopped holding the sticks in their hands and turned around with horrified faces, only to see Zhao Jie, who should have been beaten to a bloody head by their hands, standing behind him with a smile on his face.

He was accompanied by Chang'an Hou Shizi.

"The... crown prince?"

The leading man shouted, and then immediately threw the stick in his hand. The people behind him followed suit and threw away their things, for fear of being seen by Zhou Yan.

But it was too late. Zhou Yan had long seen what they did. Seeing their behavior, he just glanced at them lightly without saying a word.

Zhao Jie invited him over just to let him calm down, so he stepped forward and looked at the group of people, smiled and called them by name: "Li Boyan, Zhong Mu, Feng Yunnian, it's been a long time since I last saw you three, why don't you go

Are you sitting in the Yamen Prison of Yuzhou Prefecture?"

"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" Li Boyan, the leader, was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he held up the hands of the two brothers to prevent him from kneeling on the ground.

Feng Yunnian was the most discerning. When he sold Nian Ruipeng, he said, "It was Mr. Nian who asked us to do this! Mr. Zhao, you also know that our family relies on Nian Ruipeng to make money. We dare not disobey his orders."

Promise!"

What Zhao Jie wanted was their words.

"He tells you to beat people, so you beat them. He tells you to kill people, do you also want to kill them? What do you think the law is?" Zhao Jie first scolded Li Boyan righteously, and took advantage of Li Boyan's trembling to calm down.

He said in a tone of voice, "It's not your fault. If you want to blame it, blame it on Nian Ruipeng. Let's do this. You take me to Nian Ruipeng and I will solve this matter."

"no!"

The taciturn Zhong Mu refused. After saying this, he remembered that besides Zhao Jie and Zhou Yan, he softened his voice and became pleading.

"If this is the case, doesn't Nian Ruipeng know that we betrayed him? Young Master Zhao, just do it and let us go! Your Zhao family's skinny camels are bigger than horses. No matter how they decline, they are still bigger than horses.

We, a small family, live happily and comfortably, but we have to rely on Nian Ruipeng in the future and we must not offend him!"

"The Nian family doesn't even know if their own business can continue, so you still want to rely on Nian Ruipeng? This is simply a fool's dream!" After Zhao Jie finished speaking, he turned sideways to reveal Zhou Yan, "Today's matter must either go to the government or go to the government.

Either go to Nian Ruipeng, you decide for yourself."

Feng Yunnian was the quickest thinking among them. Seeing Zhao Jie say this in front of Zhou Yan and Zhou Yan didn't stop him, he knew that the prince definitely didn't like the Nian family.

In any case, it is better to have the prince as a shield than to bear Nian Ruipeng's wrath themselves.

Feng Yunnian thought for a moment and answered first: "Let's go find Nian Ruipeng!"

After giving Zhao Jie an accurate answer, he turned around and said, "The three of us cannot rely on the Nian family for our entire lives. We will eventually have our own business in the future."

What he said was ambiguous, but Li Boyan and Zhong Mu understood what he meant - this was a good opportunity to drag the Nian family into trouble. Since the prince didn't like the Nian family, and Nian Ruipeng didn't treat them as human beings, they might as well completely

Pull down the Nian family!

They looked at each other and decided to take Zhou Yan and Zhao Jie to Chunfeng Tower.

Naturally, Zhou Yan would not sit with them, so only Zhao Jie was on their carriage.

Zhao Jie opened the curtain, glanced at the road to Chunfeng Tower, and said, "Are the Nian family so arrogant now? They dared to show off in Chunfeng Tower after beating someone. Nian Ruipeng is much more arrogant than the young master back then."

Li Boyan glanced at Zhao Jie's face and said, "Actually, he couldn't afford ten thousand taels of silver, so he asked us to come to you to ask for it."

So if the person who was beaten just now was not the scapegoat that Zhao Jie had arranged a long time ago, they would not only beat the person, but also steal the money.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jie's eyes turned cold and he glanced at them, "Planning robbery is also a serious crime according to the law."

The three people were complaining endlessly. If they had known that Zhao Jie had taken Chang'an Hou Shizi to guard the alley, they would not have dared to agree to Nian Ruipeng's orders even if they were beaten to death.

However, Zhao Jie had no intention of settling accounts with them. The one who really wanted to settle the accounts was Nian Ruipeng.

When Zhao Jie and Zhou Yan returned to Chunfeng Tower, Nian Ruipeng was still arguing with the madam.

The old bustard ordered people to block the door of the private room and guard it tightly, fearing that Nian Ruipeng would escape.

She pinched her waist and said: "We at Chunfeng Tower have always paid for our money. We used to let you get credit for the sake of the Nian family, but today is the day when little red sleeves are covered with moss. It was you who asked for the ten thousand taels. You always

Can’t I let my daughter appear on stage twice? The prices are also different!”

"This is because you are being unreasonable. If it weren't for me, would Xiao Hongxiu have been able to get ten thousand taels? Besides, I didn't say I wouldn't give you the money. Didn't I ask Zhong Mu and the others to get it?"

Nian Ruipeng wanted to save face, spoke nonsense calmly, and even tried to drive the madam out.

The madam was not a vegetarian either. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to argue with him. At that moment, the door was kicked open.

Zhou Yan came in from outside with Zhao Jie, followed by Zhong Mu and three other people who were looking very gray.

Seeing this situation, Nian Ruipeng knew that his plan had failed. Not only did these idiots fail to teach Zhao Jie a lesson, they didn't even get the money!

His father would never give him the 10,000 taels he needed to buy Little Red Sleeve Spring Breeze. If he couldn't afford it, it wouldn't be as simple as being embarrassed.

This was not the first time that the madam met Zhao Jie, but he was not very familiar with Chang'an Hou Shizi. He only knew that the person who could walk in front of Zhao Jie must not be a mortal. Seeing that Zhou Yan was rich and rich, he hurriedly stepped forward to accompany him and smiled and asked: "Ah! Zhao Jie

Young Master, you are back again! Who is this?"

"Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked." Zhao Jie waved his hand, "It's none of your business. If you want to get the ten thousand taels, just go outside and wait."

After the madam left, Zhao Jie drove Zhong Mu and the others to the next door, leaving only himself, Zhou Yan, and Nian Ruipeng, who looked ashamed and angry.

Nian Ruipeng wished he could tear the man in front of him who had caused him to lose ten thousand taels of silver into pieces, but with Zhou Yan supporting him, he could do nothing. He could only swallow his anger and ask: "Didn't you leave? Come back?"

What to do? Even if you like Xiao Hongxiu and can't afford ten thousand taels, she can't be yours!"

"I have ten thousand taels, but didn't you buy Xiaohongxiu tonight?" Zhao Jie crossed his legs, completely revealing his true colors, "Young Master Nian, please don't tell me that you can't afford the ten thousand taels."

"Nonsense! Ten thousand taels is just a matter of words. I will go home and get it now!" Nian Ruipeng was so excited that he stood up to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Jie again.

"You don't have to save face in front of me. I know the situation of the Nian family better than you. Your family is engaged in pledge business. You have to put down half of the family property for every business. How can I give you ten thousand taels starting from the new year?"
