Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Cui Zhao said coldly: "Since you understand, why do you still come to ask for money for the court?"

Zhang Dun said patiently: "Understanding is one thing, how to do it is another."

"I don't want to be a secret. I want real money. If you give me the money, I will take it away. This matter will be over."

"Arrogant young man! What do you know?" Cui Zhao couldn't bear it any longer, and suddenly jumped up, glaring at him and said:

"My five surnames, Qiwang, have never owed the imperial court anything, but the imperial court framed us with this vicious plan and insisted on forcing donations. Why should we be fish on the chopping board? Why should the imperial court take what they want?"

"That's ridiculous!"

Zhang Dun looked solemn, and said loudly, "What do you mean that you have never owed the imperial court anything? How many officials in the temple are people from your five surnames and Qiwang? What is the reason for this?"

"As for people's livelihood, how much salt, tea, copper, iron, porcelain and cotton yarn are controlled by your five surnames and Qiwang? And why?"

"Above the culture, there is a saying in the world that when you marry a wife, you should marry a woman of five surnames. Among you, there are people vying for a lame and disabled woman. What is the reason?"

"And let's not talk about these, just talk about the thousand hectares of fertile land under your sect, how did it come about?"

Zhang Dun sat upright, looked directly at the angry faces of the seven old men, and said word by word:

"How much money have you made because of these? How much has the imperial court managed you?"

"Now because the imperial court wants to use your hands to relieve the embarrassment of the imperial court's empty treasury, what are you saying here that the five surnames and Qiwang never owed the imperial court a single cent? It's ridiculous!"

Chapter 51 Zhang Dun, your low-key, why is it different from what I understand

"What did you say that the imperial court treats you as fish and meat for a long time, and takes what you want."

Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "You guys know the facts better than me!"

In the hall, the faces of the seven Patriarchs were livid at what he said, and they gritted their teeth and looked at Zhang Dun.

Hu Guang shrunk his neck, not daring to breathe, Brother Zhang really dared to say, the key is to see clearly where this is.

This is not our Zuixian Tower!

This is the mansion of Qiwang with five surnames. Do you still want to go back if you scold others at the mansion with Qiwang with five surnames?

"Zhang Dun, you said just now, how much money have we made because of this? How much has the court managed us?"

After a short silence, Cui Gong said: "The imperial court wants to take care of it, but can it do it?"

Zhang Dun smiled and said:

"So here I am."

"I don't care about other things, but this matter, if the court can't manage it, I'll take care of it. If the court can't do it, I'll take care of it."

"70 guan, you have to give it, or you have to give it if you don't."

In the hall, there was an instant silence.

"Clap clap clap!"

After a long time, there was a sound of applause.

Cui Zhao clapped his hands with a smile, "Okay, it's really a boy born from a hero!"

"This old man has lived to this age, and it's the first time I've seen someone dare to say such things to Wu Xing Qiwang."

After finishing speaking, Cui Zhao withdrew his smile, stood up with the palms of his hands on the table, walked to Zhang Dun on crutches, and said in a calm tone:

"Didn't you come to ask for money? The old man will give you an answer now."

"Money, the old man won't give me a penny."

"You and the imperial court, if you have any tricks, just use them."

"The old man wants to see how you, a cook, can treat me with five surnames and seven names."

Seeing that the other party made his words clear, Zhang Dun also stood up and looked at Cui Zhao squarely, "Since the words have reached this point, this junior has made it clear."

"Three days."

Zhang Dun held up three fingers, and said seriously: "In three days, I hope Patriarch Cui and other Patriarchs can still say this to the younger generation and leave."

"Brother Hu, take the box, let's go back."

Just when Hu Guang stood up and carried the box with Zhang Dun, and was about to go out, suddenly there was a burst of shouting in the hall:

"You want to go, can you go?"

Zhang Dun stopped walking, looked back at the old man who was talking, and asked, "What is the name of this Patriarch?"

Wang Kuo said coldly: "Taiyuan Wang Kuo."

Zhang Dun was taken aback, Taiyuan Wang?Shaking his head, he said, "Even Wang Xun, the ten thousand year order, can't stop me. I don't know where the confidence of Patriarch Wang is, to keep me here?"

"Farewell."

After all, no matter how gloomy Wang Kuo's face was, Zhang Dun took Hu Guang, who was pale and bloodless, and left the mansion leisurely.

Seeing Zhang Dun's leaving back, Wang Kuo gritted his teeth and said, "This son is extremely arrogant!"

Cui Gong slightly nodded and said: "It's crazy enough. I've lived most of my life, and I've been young for more than a year, but it's the first one who dares to say such things to you and me."

Zheng Da suddenly asked: "Do you want to send someone to deal with him?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Cui Zhao one after another.

Cui Zhao shook his head and said, "Who do you plan to send to deal with him? Who can deal with him?"

"As I said just now, Wannian Order Wang Xun is useless to arrest him."

"Who else can you find?"

After finishing speaking, Cui Zhao sat back to the original position leaning on his crutches, waved his hands, and asked old butler Cui to withdraw the cases of Zhang Dun and Hu Guang, and continued:

"This matter involves Le Shi's method of recording merit, and involves the palace. No official will stand up and confront Zhang Dun at this time. Isn't that self-defeating?"

Li Yu suddenly said: "Brother Cui, that Zhang Dun, what he said just now for three days, listen to what he said, after three days, we will obediently donate the money to the court?"

Cui Zhao was happy, "You also believe this?"

"The words of an ignorant child cannot be taken seriously."

"Let's just watch."

Cui Zhao picked up the wine glasses on the table, smiled and said:

"After three days, send someone to find Zhang Dun. He will be at the end of his rope by then, and it's time for us to deal with him."

----

Walking out of Cui's mansion in Boling, Hu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, and his pale face gradually became more rosy. He followed behind Zhang Dun, and said in a low tone, "Brother Zhang, where's your low profile?"

Hu Guang felt his scalp go numb just now when he thought of Zhang Dun's tongue-in-cheek war against the Confucians in the Cui family's mansion in Boling just now, pointing at the seven patriarchs and yelling at them.

I really believed his evil, Zhang Dun said to be low-key, but he actually took it seriously!Is there such a low-key!That's five surnames and seven hopes!Just a word, put it in Chang'an City, can make every market in Chang'an City tremble three times!

Zhang Dun turned around and asked in confusion: "I'm not low-key enough?"

Hu Guang looked at him with wide eyes, "Where are you keeping a low profile?"

"I treat them with courtesy first and soldiers later." Zhang Dun said patiently.

Hu Guang opened his mouth and stared at him blankly, cooperating with you, if you didn't come up and directly kill them, is it low-key?

"Do you know that I was almost scared to death by you just now." Hu Guang said in a resentful tone, "That is the patriarch of the five surnames Qiwang. No matter how prosperous we are in opening the Zuixian Tower, we can't compare to him."

"It's also fortunate that the seven patriarchs don't remember the villain's mistakes. If they are really cruel to us, we may have to come out sideways!"

Zhang Dun said seriously: "Brother Hu, they actually have nothing to be afraid of."

"I'm different from you," Hu Guang rolled his eyes, "Brother, I'm not stupefied!"

After finishing speaking, Hu Guang asked again: "Brother Zhang, what should we do now?"

"I have to go back and get ready."

Zhang Dun mused, "Go back to Zuixian Tower first."

"Okay." Hu Guang nodded.

Farewell to Hu Guang, Zhang Dun drove the ox cart, returned to his home in Yongyangfang, and opened the cellar.

Not long after, one wooden box after another was moved out.

Looking at the contents of the box, Zhang Dun muttered to himself, "These should be enough for a day or two."

"You can start."

Zhang Dun took a deep breath, unloaded the two boxes on the bullock cart, and replaced them with about twenty wooden boxes from the cellar, and put them on the bullock cart.

Then he pulled the bullock cart and headed towards the West Market.

Since the five surnames and seven have been given a three-day time limit, they cannot be disappointed.

Zhang Dun drove the carriage towards the West Market, and Hu Guang also went back to Zuixian Tower.

"I don't know what they did with the drunk fairy building."

Zuixianlou is different from before, the business is booming every day, Wang Meng and Liu Liang are cooking non-stop, and there is not enough time.

I am in Zuixianlou, and that person is in charge of serving dishes and collecting money with a smile. Without me, wouldn't Zuixianlou be completely chaotic?

Now Zhang Dun's second uncle, second aunt, and his two uncles are looking after Zuixianlou.

Hu Guang could tell that they were not business people at all.

It is impossible for them to greet diners with smiling faces.

The more Hu Guang thought about it, the more worried he became, and he couldn't help walking a little faster.

At this time, it was noon.

Inside the Zuixian Building, Li Er and Guanyin's servant sat behind the counter, watching the diners who kept coming in.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood at the door with smiles on their faces, and when people came in, they smiled and let them in.

Li Junxian, the head of Jinbu, and the head of Duzhi are in the back kitchen.

The head of Jinbu and the head of Duzhi were sweating profusely, and they kept facing the dishes together with Wang Meng and Liu Liang.

After the dishes came out of the pan, Li Junxian served them to the diners' tables.

"I don't know what's going on with Zhang Dun."

Li Er heard more and more diners in the Zuixian Tower, and the noise became louder and louder, the sadness on his face became a bit thicker, and he said in a deep voice: "Five Surnames and Seven Wangs are not so easy to deal with."

"Second brother, it's useless for us to be anxious." Empress Changsun comforted: "We wait for the result. If even Zhang Dun can't solve it, then we can only change the way, first solve the problem of the empty treasury, and wait until the problem is solved. Then free up your hands to deal with the five surnames and seven Wangs."

Chapter 52 Who Are the People in the Drunken Immortal Building?

Li Er sighed, now he can do the same.

At this moment, Li Er saw Hu Guang coming back, stood up and asked, "Master Hu, where is Zhang Dun?"

Seeing the booming business in Zuixian Building, Hu Guang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhang Dun is back home."

Fang Xuanling at the side asked, "You and Zhang Dun went to see Wu Xing Qiwang, what was the result?"

Hu Guang sighed: "Hey, don't mention it, Brother Zhang and I went to someone's mansion, and we couldn't go in. Brother Zhang pointed at them and cursed."

Hearing this, Li Er, Empress Changsun, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui immediately opened their eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.

Zhang Dun pointed at the seven Patriarchs and cursed?Is he so courageous?

Li Er frowned and said, "Can I get money this way?"

"What the hell, they almost asked someone to keep us from coming back."

Hu Guang said helplessly: "Brother Zhang, after finishing his speech, told people to give them three days. Within three days, if you give the money back, that's fine. If you don't pay back the money, let them be like him."

After finishing speaking, Hu Guang pointed to the Dingsheng Building which had been closed.

The corner of Du Ruhui's mouth twitched and said, "This kid is crazy enough."

Hu Guangshen nodded approvingly, "I said the same thing about him, but Brother Zhang said that he is already very low-key, no matter how you say it, he is polite first and then soldier."

Fang Xuanling asked curiously: "Rites first and then soldiers? Why didn't I hear it, I just heard that soldiers were sent, where is the ceremony?"

Hu Guang said patiently: "Brother Zhang brought them two boxes when they entered the mansion."
