Not long after nightfall, Lantian County, which had been noisy and lively for a day, finally calmed down.

Xue Shao and his entourage stayed in the Zuixian Building, and when they opened the window, they could see the former residence of Xue Shao and the current Yaochi Yulin.

The arrival of the prince of Lantian made the owner overjoyed and flattered. During the meal, the owner of the shop asked someone to bring a broken wall panel, which was left by Zheng Kunlun when he demolished Xue Shao's former residence that day, and there was a poem with ink residues on it - "When the light spring breeze falls, I can't bear to be sad and more lovesick." There is no gold to buy Nagato Fu, and there is a hatred of empty fan poems. ”

It was left behind by Zhang Miaomiao when he left the Xue Mansion. The shopkeeper loves poetry and pities Zhang Miao, so he secretly asked someone to buy this wallboard and hide it in the store. Gradually, it has become the "treasure of the town store".

But when Xue Shao saw this thing, his mood was differently complicated. Zhang Miaoxiang's soul has passed away, and the former residence has been demolished.

Time flies, personnel changes. It's really only after losing it that I remember the preciousness I had at the beginning.

"Zheng Kunlun, what about people?" Xue Shao asked the left and right relatives.

Lu Siyi hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "After Zheng Qizhi was imprisoned, Zheng Kunlun wanted to abscond out of Lu. Our brother has been waiting for him for a long time, and he has been taken down by the first one, and he has been handed over to Wei Yushi to deal with together. ”

Xue Shao nodded, "This person, he should be killed!" ”

Lu Siyi solemnly clenched his fists, "My subordinates understand!" ”

Xue Shao took a long breath, pushed open the window and looked at the magnificent Yaochi Yulin like a fairy palace, wondering in his heart, whether to demolish it or dismantle it? Or, dismantle it?

The moon slave was changing the dressing for Yu Hongye's injured arm on the side. The second daughter muttered a few words, and Yu Hongye stepped forward and whispered: "Childe, when Zheng Qizhi's people came to me in prison to force me to ask for your former residence deed, I didn't hand it over, and now it's still with me, you don't have to worry." ”

Xue Shao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "So your arms were all broken and broken?" ”

Yu Hongye blushed and nodded slightly.

"Silly." Xue Shao sighed lightly and said, "What's the use of that piece of paper, can you suffer so much for it?" ”

Yu Hongye smiled bitterly and said, "For Gongzi, a house deed may not be nothing. But at the time, it was almost my lifeline. If I hand it over, not only will I have nothing from now on, but I will also have no shame to come back to face Childe. ”

"And what does it turn out to be? Even if you hadn't handed over the deed, wouldn't my former home have been forcibly occupied and rebuilt into what it is today? Xue Shao said, "Some rules seem like golden rules to you, but to others, they may be just a joke." ”

Yu Hongye blinked his eyes again and again, and said thoughtfully: "The gap between civilians and powerful people...... It turned out to be really that big! ”

"There is no fairness in this world, and you will see even greater disparities in the future." Xue Shao shook his head and smiled, "In this world, the powerful are originally in charge of everything, and even the laws that are just are actively safeguarding the interests of the powerful. One of the most concise examples, there are eight commutations for the crimes of the powerful. The so-called prince who broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people is just a deceptive nonsense. ”

"I seem to really understand a little bit......" Yu Hongye let out a long breath.

Xue Shao nodded and smiled, and said, "Your business still has to be done." In the future, you will deal more and more with the powerful. If you don't understand and are not familiar with the rules and unspoken rules, you will run into a wall everywhere. In other words, although what happened to you in Lantian this time was tragic, it also taught you a lesson, allowing you to truly understand some of the survival rules of the powerful world. The people who can get rich most in this world are definitely not the people who work hard and are busy every day, but the officials and businessmen who can best use the law of power and use power to seek wealth for themselves! ”

"But I'm ...... I really don't know how to deal with the powerful. Yu Hongye was a little nervous, she seemed to hear some of the meaning of Xue Shao's words - I hope she will continue to run Yaochi Yulin.

Xue Shao smiled, "I'm a powerful person." Aren't we getting along well? ”

Yu Hongye smiled, her face turned red, and she said in a low voice, "Childe...... Unlike outsiders. ”

"Really?" Xue Shao smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the Yaochi Yulin outside the window, "I want to demolish it, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" Yu Hongye was taken aback, and exclaimed without thinking, "It took so much money to build, what a pity it was to demolish it!" ”

Xue Shaoyi turned his head to look at Yu Hongye and said with a smile: "When talking to the powerful, you have to think about it a few more times in your mind before speaking." What you said may make me think that Yaochi Yulin is better than Lantian Former Residence. ”

"No, I didn't mean that!" Yu Hongye is embarrassed.

Xue Shaoha's big smile said, "How about it, do you dare to continue to operate Yaochi Yulin here?" ”

Yu Hongye's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly said: "Yaochi Yulin is a place of sound and color, and I don't know how to operate. ”

"You don't have to do everything yourself, you can manage one or two people who know how to run it, it's enough." Xue Shao said, "In fact, in all fairness, the way Yaochi Yulin operates is very unique. Although it does not charge much real money, it is a place to interact with the powerful, and what is earned is connections and news, which is a huge, invisible, and unyielding fortune that cannot be exchanged for any amount of money. If you can make reasonable use of these connections and information, you will be invincible in the shopping mall and even in the officialdom. It's going to be more than a hundred times the money you've worked so hard to earn! ”

"This ...... Will it break the law? Yu Hongye was a little surprised and frightened, and said in a low voice.

Xue Shao smiled slightly and said, "Then you say, did Zheng Kunlun break the law?" ”

"Of course he broke the law! He's taking my house! Yu Hongye said.

"You're wrong." Xue Shao waved his hand and said, "If it weren't for him offending me, he would never have been held accountable for forcibly seizing a private house." This is another important rule of dealing with the powerful, whether you are right or wrong depends on how the powerful think of you. The rules are made by the powerful and controlled by the powerful. He said you're right, you're right; He said you're wrong, you're wrong! ”

“！！” Yu Hongye's eyes widened in astonishment and she was stunned for a long time, and finally nodded with deep feeling, "I see, it's ......."

"Remembered. The law, whether it is morality, is only used to bind the majority of the common people in the world. Xue Shao said, "Unfortunately, the powerful belong to another group of people besides the majority. Their world has other rules of existence, don't use worldly eyes and mentality to look at and figure out their behavior and thoughts. In many cases, the will to power is the law of this worldly realm. If you can't change, you'll have to force yourself to adapt! ”

"The will to power ......," Yu Hongye took a deep breath and exhaled a long exhale, "I feel like I have stepped into a completely unfamiliar world, and many of my previous ideas are about to be subverted. ”

"If you lose your horse, you know that it is not a disaster." Xue Shao smiled, "This encounter should make you understand a lot of things. Actually, I wanted to tell you about it at the very beginning of my business with the Imperial Palace. But no matter how much I try to teach by example, it can't be compared to what you have experienced yourself. In the future, you should know how to fight the powerful. ”

"I ...... Will try! Yu Hongye said.

"Then Yaochi Yulin, are you willing to take over?" Xue Shao asked.

Yu Hongye gritted her teeth and nodded solemnly, "I'll give it a try first, and then I'll see the after-effects in two months, what does Childe think?" ”

"Okay." Xue Shao nodded and smiled, "No one is born with it, it's all about learning the day after tomorrow." I have confidence in you, and I will definitely be able to build Yaochi Yulin into the first club in the world. ”

"Clubhouse?" Yu Hongye was surprised.

Xue Shao couldn't help but smile and said: "Merry but not lewd, light luxury but not lewdness, come and go all by voluntarily respecting the privacy of others, and recruiting elegant and virtuous people will never hide dirt and dirt - this is called, clubhouse!" ”

"Okay, I see!" Yu Hongye was secretly a little excited, this seems to be much more interesting than selling soap!

"At the same time, your business can't be stopped." Xue Shao said, "One of the important meanings of opening Yaochi Yulin is to better serve your business and make your business bigger and stronger." It's not enough for me to escort your business left and right. This time, you also saw that I have only been out for half a year, and someone dares to do something to you. ”

"I see!" Yu Hongye nodded again, her heart became more and more excited, and she was full of longing for the future.

"Effort." Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Starting today, the business empire we work together will officially set sail!" ”

……

Three days later, Wei Yuanzhong publicly convicted Zheng Kunlun of many crimes of causing trouble to his neighbors in Lantian County, and sentenced him to be hanged, and sent to Chang'an to be put in prison, to be beheaded after the autumn. was sentenced to death along with a group of his thugs and henchmen.

The original Lantian County ordered Zheng Qizhi to pervert the law to cover up the crime of his relatives, and sentenced him to be exiled for 2,000 miles without official officials, and immediately returned to Chang'an Prison to be reviewed and sentenced by Yushitai.

When the news came out, the countryside of Lantian was boiling.

It turned out that Zheng Kunlun, who had appeared in front of the people of Lantian County with the image of "a wealthy old man", showed his true face after buying a lot of land and attracting many tenants. Not only that, if the tenants had beautiful daughters or wives in their families, without exception, they could not escape Zheng Kunlun's clutches, and they were all caught in Yaochi Yulin and reduced to prostitution.

Xue Shao took the land deed from Yu Hongye and made it public and formally filed a lawsuit, asking for a legal ruling. Wei Yuanzhong announced in public that Zheng Kunlun's forcible occupation of Xue Shao's former residence was rebuilt into Yaochi Yulin, which was an illegal occupation and sentenced his property to be returned to its original owner.

The first thing Xue Shao did after returning to his "former home" was to return the civilian women who had been forced to be prostitutes. Of course, this move made the people of Lantian grateful and cheered, and a large number of people gathered in front of the gate of Yaochi Yulin, who made a special trip to thank Xue Shao.

Xue Shao asked Yu Hongye to come forward to receive these people, and said to the people that from then on, Yu Hongye was entrusted by Xue Shao to continue to operate Yaochi Yulin.

In this way, Yaochi Yulin was "bleached" in a reasonable and legal way, and turned into an industry under Xue Shao's name. Previously, the "secret cooperation" relationship between Xue Shao and Yu Hongye also officially surfaced and appeared in the public.

After doing these things, Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

It's time to go back to Chang'an and deal with the real mastermind behind the scenes!
