Cheng Yanjin hid behind the door, he saw clearly the people who came to smash the store, he didn't know the other people, but he knew Pei Yao.

Cheng Biting Jin Tian grew a pair of poisonous eyes, when he accompanied Yang Yuanqing to Pei's mansion for a banquet, Pei Yao was one of the companions, although more than ten years have passed, he still recognized it at a glance, and Pei Yao is also called Pei You's eldest sister!

Cheng Yanjin realized that he fell for Pei You, not some scoundrel ruffian to make trouble, but Pei Fu's family, what should I do? To help or not to help, helping means that he will offend the Pei family, and if he doesn't do it, he will be punished by military law, if he doesn't help, but Pei You is alone.

Cheng Yanjin's eyes rolled, it was inevitable to offend the Pei family, but if he wanted to escape military punishment, he still had a way, Cheng Yanjin beckoned, called thirty of his subordinates to the front, and whispered a few words to them, all the soldiers nodded their heads, but Cheng Yanjin jumped out of the back window.

Outside the gate, Pei You pulled out a knife and shouted loudly: "Whoever of you dares to come up, I will kill him!" ”

All the Pei Mansion family members stopped, not daring to rush forward, Pei Yao was furious, and the horsewhip pointed at the wine shop, "Ignore her, smash the wine shop!" ”

In fact, Pei Yao had no choice, Pei You was his sister after all, but it was useless to persuade him repeatedly, and the head of the family was already angry.

If he doesn't deal with this matter today, then he will also suffer from family punishment, and when he saw that the family members were still hesitant to step forward, he urged him to step forward and lashed at a family member, "Rush forward!" ”

The family members were forced to be helpless, so they had to bypass Pei You and rush towards the wine shop, Pei You rushed forward and slashed at a family member with a knife, "You guys go to die!" ”

Back then, she independently supported the liquor store in Qinghe County, and from time to time there were scoundrels and ruffians who came to ask for money to make trouble, so she relied on a fierce spirit. Fight with a knife. also kept her meager property, and today her mother's family actually came to smash her wine shop, under grief and anger. She also let it go.

But the Pei Mansion family members have all practiced martial arts, and Pei You is a woman after all, and several family members smashed her knife with wooden sticks at the same time.

'Dangchang! The knife was smashed and flew away. Another stick hit Pei You's leg, Pei You stumbled and fell to the ground, and the people around him who were watching the excitement suddenly made a noise, and someone scolded, "What kind of man is beating a woman!" ”

Pei Yao didn't care about explaining, and shouted, "Rushed in and smashed the wine shop!" ”

More than two dozen family members rushed into the liquor store. At this moment, dozens of soldiers rushed out of the liquor store, waving wooden sticks and iron forks on the table and in the kitchen. All of them are fierce and vicious. Like a wolf and a tiger, he pounced on the family.

These soldiers are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also have experienced countless baptisms of war. More fierce and ruthless, with tacit understanding, they smashed several family members head-on, and then rushed into the family group to fight like a battlefield.

The soldiers were extremely fierce, beating the family members to break their heads and bleed, crying for their fathers and mothers, which attracted a round of applause from the surroundings.

When he saw that the fire was almost over, he rushed over as if he were running from afar, panting, and shouted, "Stop! Stop! ”

The soldiers stopped fighting, the family members made a sound, ran away, and more than a dozen family members lay on the ground, moaning and rolling in pain, Cheng Yanjin rushed forward, slapped one soldier, and punched another soldier, scolding: "Who let you fight in the street?" ”

A soldier reported: "General, we are eating in a wine shop, and this group of scoundrels and ruffians are going to rush in and smash people's property and rob drinkers, so we are forced to take action and punish them slightly, we have gone to report to the official, and the government should come immediately." ”

Cheng Yanjin's face softened slightly, he deliberately pretended not to know Pei Yao, pointed to the family members all over the ground and scolded: "At the foot of the world, you scoundrels dare to bully the people's daughters and forcibly seize the people's wealth, is there still a king's law?" ”

He shouted, "Send them all to the government for questioning!" ”

Cheng Biting Jin is extremely cunning, fighting on the street is a violation of military law, but assisting the government to protect people's property and maintaining law and order is a meritorious service, the key is to pull the local government in, then the nature has changed, so anyway, the Pei family was also offended, so they simply pretended to be stupid to the end.

The soldiers rushed forward one after another and tied up the family members with ropes, at this time, Pei Yao secretly complained in his heart, he didn't expect Pei You to find a helper, and the matter was going to be big, once the government intervened, it would be a little troublesome.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Cheng, this is a misunderstanding!" ”

Cheng Yanjin glanced at him and said coldly, "Who are you?" ”

"Under Pei Yao, the children of the Pei family, this is not a scoundrel making trouble, but an internal dispute within the Pei family, these are the Pei family, I implore General Cheng to let them go."

"Can't put it!"

Pei You limped away, her hair was scattered, her long skirt was torn, the stick just now almost broke her leg bones, her leg was still in unbearable pain, she said hatefully: "There is no dispute between the Pei family, I am not the Pei family, their Pei family is going to take advantage of the power to rob the people's wealth, and they must be taken to the officials!" ”

Pei You shouted to the people around him again: "Folks, have you seen it, this is the so-called famous family, that is, Pei's Wangmen, seeing that the little woman's wine shop is doing good business, they have evil thoughts and want to forcibly take it away, is there still a king in this world?" ”

The people of the entire North City were shocked, and the onlookers reached 10,000 people, and everyone shouted together, "The Pei family is bullying, and the Pei family is robbing the people's wealth!" The momentum was huge, and the anger boiled.

Beads of sweat rolled down Pei Yao's forehead, he just wanted to cut through the mess quickly, close the door and leave after smashing the store, but he didn't expect Pei You to find helpers, so that they couldn't enter the store.

He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, it should have been in the middle of the night, and it would be right to attract so many onlookers during the day, which would seriously affect the reputation of the Pei family, he wanted to explain, but his voice was too small, and he was drowned in the waves of angry people.

At this time, Zhou Qunyi, the county commander of Jinyang County, brought more than 20 officials to come, he knew Pei Yao, and also knew Pei You's background, seeing this situation, he immediately understood most of it in his heart, which gave him a headache, it was difficult to do, if he didn't care, his official hat couldn't be kept, and if he took care of it, I was afraid that he would offend the Pei family again.

But the people's grievances have boiled, if he doesn't intervene again, I'm afraid that these family members will be beaten to death by the angry people, so he has no choice but to shout, "Take them all to the county government for disposal!" ”

Pei You's heart was crossed, she stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Lord Qingtian." The people's daughter wants to sue the Pei family for bullying. Snatch the people's wealth, and hope that the county will make the decision for the people's daughter! ”……

The uproar over the Yuan'an liquor shop incident finally ended in a way that was unacceptable to the Pei family, and the Pei family was forced to make a written guarantee. no longer interfered with Pei You's opening of the store, and as a concession, Pei You also withdrew the paper. But the Pei family immediately removed Pei You's clan and no longer recognized her as the daughter of the Pei family.

As for Cheng Yanjin, he was not punished or rewarded, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Zhou County Commander was very careful, and when taking away the prisoners, he did not take the soldiers to the county office, and treated them as passers-by, and there was no mention of Cheng Yanjin and his soldiers in the report. He knew in his heart that he could no longer involve the army.

But this incident brought an unexpected result to Yuan'an Liquor Store, that is, it became famous. Diners flock to the city. They all wanted to see the liquor shop that even the Pei family wanted to get, which made the business of Yuan'an liquor shop booming.

In a room on the fifth floor of the restaurant. Pei You pulled up her skirt and was carefully wiping the medicinal wine on her legs, although it had been a day since she was beaten, there was still a faint pain in her legs, but thinking of this stick in exchange for the Pei family's 3,000 yuan in compensation for the medicine, she felt a burst of joy in her heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of 'Knock! Boom! There was a knock at the door, and then the shopkeeper was heard shouting, "Boss, there is something important!" The voice was anxious.

Pei You was startled, hurriedly put down her skirt, tidied up her dress, stepped forward and opened the door, only to see the shopkeeper holding a plate in his hand, and there were many silver coins on the plate, Pei You frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"Proprietor, we've received fake money." The shopkeeper almost burst into tears.

Pei You was shocked, she hurriedly opened the door, took the plate, she walked back to the room and opened the curtain, a large bright light spilled into the room, shining on the plate on the table, and the silver coins on the plate reflected a dazzling white.

Pei You picked up a few silver coins, aimed at the light and looked closely, the workmanship was very exquisite, exactly the same as the silver coins issued by the imperial court, the size, pattern and handwriting were exactly the same.

Suddenly, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, walked quickly to the cabinet, reached out and grabbed a few silver coins from the cabinet, and the moment she touched the silver coin, it immediately confirmed her feelings, the silver coin taken by the shopkeeper was heavier, and the weight of five silver coins was equivalent to ten silver coins issued by the imperial court.

"Proprietor!"

The shopkeeper said with a sad face: "These fake silver coins are made of white copper, there are too many guests today, we can't take care of them, and we have received a total of more than fifty fake silver coins." ”

Fortunately, the loss is not big, Pei You comforted him: "This is not your fault, nor is it the fault of the guys, be careful, whoever dares to pay the bill with fake silver money again, catch him immediately, go!" ”

"Thank you, Proprietor!"

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around, Pei You thought about it, she immediately put the silver money on the plate into a brocade bag, put on a shirt, tidied up her hair, opened the door and went downstairs, walked to the first floor, she instructed the guy: "Prepare a carriage for me, I want to go to Jinyang Palace!" ”……

The sky is close to evening, the time for the release of the Jinyang Palace has already passed, but Yang Yuanqing is still in the Jinyang Palace, he is generally busy until the end of the dark before returning home, especially during this time, the calm is pregnant with a crisis, and the crisis is approaching the Great Sui step by step.

He found that he still underestimated Jieli Khan's determination to use his military merits to make a statement, and yesterday he received a distress letter from the rest of Utu living on the shore of Lake Uqipo, and a small group of Turkic cavalry had begun to harass the rest of Utu, killing men, robbing women and property, and more than 100 scattered Turkic herdsmen had been killed and plundered.

Although only a small group of Turkic cavalry appeared, but according to experience, there will inevitably be a large group of Turkic cavalry behind the small group of Turkic cavalry, and today's weather is a bit abnormal, seeing that it is about to enter November, but the grassland has not snowed for a long time, like the winter of the sixth year of the Great Cause, that year the Central Plains summer and autumn were dry, and the grassland did not snow all winter, will this be the case?

Yang Yuanqing's heart was full of worries, if there was no snow on the grassland this winter, the situation would be dangerous.

At this moment, Pei Qingsong's voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, there are soldiers outside the palace gate to report, Pei You, the proprietor of the Yuan'an wine shop, begged to see him, saying that there is a big matter to report to the proprietor." ”
