The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

They all had solemn expressions, with long swords on their waists, and looked at the newcomers with ill intentions.

The noise frightened the guests near the door.

After all, when I turned around, I saw so many soldiers and officers, which scared me to death.

Plus, it didn't look like a serious performance, so I couldn't help feeling a little unsatisfied.

The shopkeeper came hurriedly, with a polite smile on his face, and asked,

"I don't know what you want, sir. I am the owner of the storytelling house."

The officers and soldiers remained silent and looked behind them.

Everyone stretched their necks to look, but after waiting for a long time they still couldn't see anything.

There were two rows of soldiers standing at the door, and outside were small stalls and other shops.

The smile on the shopkeeper's face disappeared. What happened?

Shen Zhao was also curious and asked Gua Gua,

[Gua Gua, what’s going on?]

I thought they were here to arrest the shopkeeper and the charming fairy on the stage.

After all, this can be considered a gathering to visit beauties, a lot of money was spent, and a lot of beauties were seen. 】

Gua Gua: [Yes, the storytelling building has been reported!

When Jingzhao Yin heard about this, he carried it out openly in front of the emperor.

Especially since officials from the imperial court also came in, this was a serious matter.

To put it in a more serious way, it can be constituted as the crime of forming a clique for personal gain.

The person who came with the officers and soldiers was Lord Xu Han, the second in command of Jingzhao Yin.

But just as he was about to reach the storytelling building, Lord Xu was called away.

Well, there is no one in charge among the officers and soldiers, so we can only wait. 】

Shen Zhao: [Who is it?

Can you still call Lord Xu away?

This is official business, this person must have a higher official position than Lord Xu.

Otherwise, how can you get the second-in-command to do his job?

It should be related to the person behind the storytelling building.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that someone was coming to arrest someone, but was called away before he even arrived. 】

Gua Gua: [Host, you guessed right.

Lord Xu was called away by the Prime Minister's men.

The master behind the storytelling building is the prime minister.

The one who came up with this way of making money was the prime minister's retainer.

Lord Xu is the prime minister's son-in-law, so he could be called away easily.

Otherwise, a third-rank official would not dare to leave his post without permission. 】

Shen Zhao: [It turns out it’s related to the Prime Minister.]

What’s wrong? The Prime Minister’s Mansion has become poor recently.

Do you have to rely on such inferior means to make money?

I see that the storytelling house is not short of money, and the daily income is at least several thousand. 】

Gua Gua: [Host, you know, there are people who only complain about having too little money, but no one who feels that they have earned enough.

Besides, with just three competitions, he could easily earn tens of thousands of taels.

If you meet a few wealthy people, they can offer 100,000 taels to undertake the project.

You can earn two hundred thousand taels in one go.

If it were held once a month, the profit would be enough to support everyone in the street.

If you have this business, are you willing to give it up? 】

The others nodded silently when they heard this.

Not to mention two hundred thousand taels, even if there were only ten thousand taels, they would not give up.

Are there few good-looking and beautiful women?

Just search and you’ll find a lot of them.

They were able to exchange a woman for tens of thousands of taels, so they made a profit!

Even a clear-minded person may not be able to resist this temptation.

After all, there are also pretty orphans among the starving girls in the world. Isn’t it great if they can benefit each other?

Shen Zhao paused for a moment and said bluntly,

[I won't give up, but I will do business with you willingly. 】

Guagua: [How do you know that the woman on the stage is not willing?

Host, you are not her.

She is not you either.

Everyone makes choices differently.

You don't need to worry about anything else.

Of course, we still won’t do this kind of business that will be visited by soldiers! 】

Guagua's last sentence was particularly timely and made Shen Zhao laugh.

Shen Zhao: [When will Lord Xu come back?

Doesn't he care about these two teams of soldiers? 】

Guagua: [It’s almost time. The Prime Minister has already let him out.

He still has to take charge of the overall situation. 】

The shopkeeper felt relieved when he heard this.

But the next second, another team of soldiers rushed to the door of the storytelling building.

It’s just that the official uniforms they wear are different from those of the people before!

These people are from the Dali Temple!
