Gu Qiang is not a fool. She has known for a long time that Shen Siyin will not be deceived by her words. Although she is fun, she is not stupid, but Shen Siyin has never been a person who can take time off. After the last time she went to the palace, Shen Siyin had not been to Xiaoyao Tower for many days. It was too boring to think about anything else in the palace. When she spoke like this now, even if she hadn't seen Gu Suliang, she felt I'm disappointed, and I definitely can't hold it back.
"Your Highness, the common people just said it casually. What's more, the common people dare not take Her Highness to play around without the emperor's consent. If there is any problem, the common people cannot bear the responsibility..."
Shen Siyin looked at Gu Qiang and said, "Do you really think of me as a fool? You obviously deliberately said this in front of me, and now you are playing hard to get. Such methods are really of no use to me. "
Although Shen Simin didn't know where and what Gu Suran wanted to take him to, but after what he said, he was indeed a little interested in this place. If he didn't go now, he would feel something was wrong.
"Princess is really smart as ice and snow. The common people really prepared a good show for Her Royal Highness today. Please ask her to move on."
Shen Siyin knew that from the time he first met Gu Suran, he knew that this person was not simple, but in the final analysis, this person had never harmed him. Since he said there was a good show to watch, he would sell it. With his face, he wouldn't be able to see Gu Suliang today. It would be better to find something to do to kill time than to go out in vain today.
Shen Siyin didn't know what Gu Su Ran wanted to do, but Gu Su Liang was Gu Su Liang's younger brother after all, so he would never put himself in danger without knowing what was going on. Shen Si Yin didn't have any other concerns. , called the people behind him, and followed Gu Suran out of Xiaoyao Building.
"There's a new troupe here on North Street. They're all performing tricks passed down from other places. My brother and I have been traveling around since we were young. We know a little bit about it and think it's interesting, so we invited Her Royal Highness to come over. Take a look."
They said it was a theater troupe, but in fact it was just the people arranged by Gu Qiang. They were all the secret guards Shen Qianshan left for him. He didn't expect that the theater troupe was run with such professionalism that he almost didn't even react to it.
If Shen Qianshan didn't have anything important to say, he would have dispersed by now. Gu Huai'an was usually the first to leave. After he came over, the other officials would have been about the same. Shen Siyin was indeed Attracted by the things here, Gu Qiang spotted the time when the officials would go to court and specifically chose this time to bring Shen Siyin over. It seemed that the time should be right now.
Gu Huaian usually makes carriages in court. Although he doesn't like to work for Shen Zhongbai, he still has to deal with his duties. This is not the case with the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Rites. They really have a lot of official duties in their hands. What's more, the number of people in the Ministry of Etiquette is still small now. Gu Huaian has been very busy all day long. When he saw a theater troupe on the road, he had no interest in it and walked directly to the side without even showing his head.
As expected, Gu Qiang's target appeared on this street not long after.
Gu Qiang had already figured out that Jingzhao Yin Chengfeng, because he was a student of Gu Linjiang and worked near North Street, so the vendors coming and going on the street had to pay in addition to taxes. Prepare a separate copy and give it to Cheng Feng. Jing Zhaoyin is already a high-ranking official in this generation, and the people don't dare to say it. It seems that he has only grasped this, so he can plunder the people with confidence and boldness.
Jing Zhaoyin's official position in the court was not high, but he was very high-spirited. He rode a tall horse in the busy city. Gu Qiang curled her lips and said, "I don't know which official is so impressive."
Cheng Feng Cihu also noticed the noisy scene here. Shen Siyin watched them getting into the action, and Cheng Feng had already sent someone over, "Where did you come from? I don't know why you can't just set up a stall here." ?"
Cheng Feng's men looked arrogant and stood in front of Eleven. Eleven looked back at Gu Qiang. Gu Qiang also knew that this was not the real owner, so she shook her head at Eleven.
This follower is obviously not a practicing martial artist. If he is a person with strong martial arts skills, I am afraid that he can tell it just by watching for a while. The people on this stage have been jumping up and down for such a long time without changing their expressions. I'm sure All of them are masters, but it's a pity. It seems that they must fall into their own hands today.
Shiyi quickly bowed to the person in front of him, "Sir, when we came here, we already paid taxes. This place is also a downtown area, and we didn't do anything extraordinary. Why can't we set up a stall here?" Where is your son?"
Qianqiu, who was standing behind Eleven, gave Gu Qiang a sly smile. Gu Qiang calmed down and looked at the two of them again. They already had frowning faces and looked poor. They were facing the man in front of them. Followed.
"If our adults say no, it won't work. You still have to pay taxes to us." The entourage has always relied on the status of his master, Jing Zhaoyin, to dominate the outside world. In short, as long as no one is killed, It's not a big deal. Since they haven't paid, they must not be allowed to stay in this place.
"Then... Sir, how much should we pay?"
The follower rolled his eyes, perhaps because he had seen such things so many times. Gu Qiang immediately knew that this person must have some bad ideas, "You have been setting up a stall here for a long time, how much money have you earned? "
He signaled with a look of embarrassment on his face, "We, a big family, have only earned ten taels of silver in this place all morning, and the rest are all in pieces..."
"Then I'll pay you ten taels a day. Since you're working hard, I don't need so much money, and I won't embarrass you. I'll pay you three hundred taels for a month first, and then you can set up the stall after you've paid the money."
This entourage also knew that these people were originally from other places, and because they worked hard to perform tricks, they must have made much more money than these ordinary people. However, he did not expect that they could earn as much as they did in no time. So much money.
"Master, we have only set up the stall for a long time this time, and we only have a total of ten taels of silver. Where can we get three hundred taels of silver..."
Shen Siyin looked at this scene. Although he frowned, he did not speak. Gu Qiang saw that Shen Siyin had no other reaction and nodded at Qianqiu. Qianqiu poked the person in front of him. Eleven Then he continued.
"Master, let's talk about it. We are a big family of more than ten people. Even ten taels of silver a day is just enough for food and clothing. You have cut off our livelihood right now..."
I have to say, no wonder Qianqiu asked Eleven to stand in front, and the acting skills he demonstrated were simply better than those of the delicate concubines in the Qiu Palace. If he hadn't arranged all of this, I'm afraid even Gu Qiang will believe it.
"Then I have nothing to do with it. Our father-in-law said that this is my grandfather's territory. If you can't pay the money, you can't set up a stall here. No matter where you change the place, this is the rule. Otherwise, Just pack up your things and leave quickly, or you can stay and pay money."
The entourage usually bullies some ordinary people who buy groceries. They have relatively little trouble to begin with, so the entourage is too lazy to make any profit from them. It is not easy to meet someone who earns more. If you don't make a good fortune, Earning more money would be a disgrace to myself.
Gu Qiang shook the fan in his hand, "I wonder who your master is? He has such great power. There is a law in this case too early. Businessmen only need to be in the right place and pay taxes and fees. As long as you don't gather people to make trouble, there are no other restrictions. Why is it that your master is so powerful that even the emperor doesn't take him seriously?"
Shen Siyin did not expect that the person standing next to him would suddenly speak. After all, such things were not uncommon for him. When he was practicing with his master, he had seen many such things. The master considered His identity was always entrusted to Shen Siyin not to get involved in these matters. Over time, Shen Siyin also developed the character of never interfering in matters that did not concern him and sitting on the sidelines.
Although he said that he was disturbed, and he really couldn't stand the situation, most of the people who were officials in the court were like this. Even though he was a princess, he had no way to deal with such things.
"Who are you?" Does Cheng Feng's entourage have any official positions? Even Cheng Feng's status is not high enough to attend the banquet in the hall. I am afraid that even Cheng Feng will not recognize Shen Siyin and Gu Suran. Two people, let alone such a follower, naturally didn't take Gu Qiang seriously when they saw him looking so weak.
"Where did you come from, a pretty boy? Are you allowed to talk too much about our adults' matters?"
Gu Qiang felt that this Cheng Feng was quite smart. The method that Gu Linjiang used on him was used on his subordinates intact. She had never shown her face at all. Even if something went wrong, she couldn't be blamed. In his own case, if something serious happened, such as offending the princess, Cheng Feng would probably not be able to escape.
"Your master? Even your master can't help but take the emperor seriously. Can the emperor tolerate you to establish new power?"
Gu Qiang smiled contemptuously, turned around and patted Eleven on the shoulder.
