Chapter 389 - Divide and Rule
Chapter 389: Divide and Rule
Ye Jiayao set out to do immediately. In the afternoon, near the Heavenly Residence, a porridge tent was set up in the place where the food street was once held.
In Xiangyi House, Mei Xiuguang, the Mei shopkeeper of Jubao House was secretly talking with Lian Xingwang.
“Shopkeeper Lian, that’s a good idea. Yesterday the Heavenly Residence was full of guests. I heard that only two tables of guests were received at noon today.” Mei Xiuguang pulled the tea cover with a face of schadenfreude.
Lian Xingwang sneered, “This is really clever, much better than Zheng Sanduo’s idea. Even if Ye Jinxuan knew someone was calculating her, she would be helpless.”
“That is, Zheng Sanduo promised at the beginning. As a result, he now lives like a lost dog in hiding, and his business with Fu Ji has collapsed. Zheng spent half his life working hard, now gone with a fire.” Mei Xiuguang sighed, but there was not much regret on his expression.
Peers were friends, the less peers the better.
“Fortunately, we have not been implicated, and we only hope Zheng Sanduo will stay away from people and not be caught by the government.” Lian Xingwang said.
Mei Xiuguang frowned: “Shopkeeper Lian, this action can ensure foolproof?”
Lian Xingwang scoffed: “The man said that he would stop this after ten days or a half months, the money has already been paid and will not be contacted later. Ye Jinxuan can’t suspect us without evidence. She is sure of this loss.”
Mei Xiuguang nodded his head and settled down: “With these ten days and a half months, the business in Heavenly Residence will definitely plummet, and the family’s dominance day will come to an end. It is only Ye Jinxuan who can blame herself for making too many enemies.”
Two men thought of Ye Jinxuan being disgusted by a group of beggars and couldn’t help laughing.
“Shopkeeper.” There was a man calling from outside.
“Come in.” Lian Xingwang put down a smile and assumed a dignified pose as a shopkeeper.
The man came in and said, “Boss, the Heavenly Residence has built a shed and started to cook porridge.”
Lian Xingwang and Mei Xiuguang looked at each other and couldn’t help laughing.
Lian Xingwang waved his hand to let the man go down and said to Mei Xiuguang, “Business has been stirred up and still give porridge to beggars. This Ye Jinxuan must be so humiliated. Is she vomiting blood?”
Mei Xiuguang laughed: “She thought porridge could solve the problem? It was so naive that female Zhuge met unreasonable beggars and was also poor in skills. She could bear it all.”
At the same time, the news that the Heavenly Residence was giving porridge also reached one’s ears.
A gentle young men was beating the table with rhythm, lost in thought, raised his eyes for a moment, and corner of the mouth slightly raised an elegant radian.
“This woman is really not simple.”
“Young master, what do you mean …” His men didn’t understand.
It was Zuo Qingyun, the owner of Datong Hui, who was called the “Young master”.
Zuo Qingyun said gently, “Her move of retreat instead of attack was so wonderful! Didn’t some beggars came to make trouble? Then she will make porridge with great fanfare. I have made porridge on my side, and you will still stay in the door. That will be a pure riot. When the time comes, public opinion will fall into the Heavenly Residence. Her move not only earned public praise, but also resolved our subsequent moves.”
“If I expected well, then she should report to the official.”
“Young master, what should we do? Can’t let her go so innocently!”
For the first time since his debut, the young master had failed to a woman. The whole Datong Hui, no, it was the entire Liangzuo league that couldn’t bear it.
Zuo Qingyun smiled lightly: “Let’s just look and forget about Xiangyi House and Jubao House. If Ye Jinxuan is smart enough to catch evidence, then Xiangyi House and Jubao House can also be removed from Jinling’s catering industry.”
“Wouldn’t it be too nice for her?” Men were angry.
“Nice for her?” Zuo Qingyun’s mouth tilted, triggering a hidden smile.
“Of course we can’t let she so happy, but we shouldn’t start work again until we have a complete grasp of it. One such thing as capsizing in the gutter is enough. She can dissolve it by her ability and might as well send another fortune to her.” Zuo Qingyun said.
His men were more confused, Ye Jinxuan was not a rival? Why didn’t she send her fortune?
Zuo Qingyun’s good-looking eyebrows were picked, and the average person would not understand his mind. He seldom met a funny opponent. Just like a cat teasing a mouse, the fun among it was not enough for outsiders.
Outside the Heavenly Residence, beggars still sit in rows and drank rice gruel, looking complacent.
Curie’s men in the Heavenly Residence were all so angry.
Damn it, these smelly beggars were really shameless. They queued for porridge over there and returned to eat here. Poor people even had no conscience.
If it weren’t for the second lady’s orders, they would already beat them.
This night, even one guest was in Heavenly Residence, but the next day it continued to cook porridge. Beggars in the city came in line when they heard about cooking porridge.
Their heart was so oppressed that they didn’t have to cook any food. The chefs all pinched steamed buns and cook porridge. The beggars were sitting at the door.
Everyone’s heart was beating drums. What did Second lady mean? It was too heavy to breathe.
Ye Jiayao had to be patient. Now what she wanted was word of mouth, which was overwhelming public opinion. Only when this word was enough could she make an issue of it.
At the same time, she was also watching. The more patient she was, the more proud her opponent would be, and the more proud they be, the easier they would be negligent and unguarded.
Chunyu’s side had also been arranged, and several beggars who did not show up have all been targeted.
On the third day, Ye Jiayao reported to the official, and the government immediately sent someone to arrest all the beggars sitting at the door.
Beggars were furious and wanted to make trouble, shouting that Heavenly Residence was rich and heartless, but the government refuted everyone’s reason for trouble in a few words.
“You said Heavenly Residence is rich and heartless? You touch your own conscience. Instead of driving you out of here, they gave you white steamed bread and rice gruel, which was also called being rich and heartless, then there are no good people in the world. Who dares to make trouble again and takes them all to the quarry to work as coolies?
Beggars searched everywhere for their leaders, but without them, they naturally did not dare to make any noise and dispersed in succession.
In a quiet alley in the city, in a deserted house, in a grove outside the city and in a ruined temple, several gangsters were beating and kicking around the beggar leader.
Scold while fighting: “You’re a stinking beggar, you know the rules of the road? The Heavenly Residence is covered by the Ninth Lord, and you dare to make trouble? I’ll kill you. ”
“Killing is also useless. When the time comes, I will throw them at the mass graves, unnoticed …” Someone said airily.
The beggar leader was beaten and rolled all over the ground, screaming and begging for mercy: “I didn’t do it, I really didn’t do it.”
“Put your mother’s shit, I has been staring at you for several days. The one sitting at the gate of Heavenly Residence today is the beggar gang in the north of your city. Do you still dare to justify it?” The gangsters were fierce, and beat them even heavier, kicking and kicking.
The leader of the beaten beggar complained that others also had a part in it. Why should he be arrested?
“You deserve it. You can safely go to hell. Your territory and your staff will be taken over. I think everyone in the east, south and west of the city will be happy to take over.”
The gangsters followed Xia Chunyu’s words.
Beggar leaders almost spit out a mouthful of blood. It was also bad. It was their turn who in the north of the city today, and everyone did it. In the end, he was unlucky and all the benefits were taken up by others. It wasn’t so cheap.
The other gangs were summoned out screaming at the moment.
“You said these was useless, I don’t believe” A gangster was also a malicious kick, directly kicking off the two ribs of the beggar leader.
“Oh, it’s true. People in Xiangyi House gave us money to do this. People in the east, south and west of the city all received money. Each person has fifty coppers a day.”
The gangsters came forward and pulled up the collar of the beggar leader: “What you said is true?”
“Really, I did not dare to hide, but the people in Xiangyi House really ordered us to do it. Although the people who came to contact us were very mysterious, we went to the streets as beggars, begging everywhere and met more people. Xiangyi House is in the north of the city, and I know that person. He is a steward of Xiangyi House, surnamed Zhang, I swear to heaven, my words are all true …” Where the beggar leader still dared to hide, he would have to die if he was not made clear.
The gangsters stopped at this moment and threatened, pointing to the beggar leader, “If you still want to live, listen to me and if you dare to disobey me, I will kill you easier than killing an ant.”
The beggar leader nodded and looked frightened.
The same scene was performed in four places and the confession was obtained with little effort.
Beggars in the north of the city were thrown into jail on the same day. They went to explain to their subordinates and surrendered to the government. Several other leaders, though not thrown into jail, were also ordered to take the government to surrender.
Xia Chunyu was sitting at Ninth lord’s palace and other news came back, and Xia Chunyu smiled: “Ninth lord’s men are able to handle affairs. This time, I thank Ninth lord for his help.”
“I’m honored to be able to help you,” said Ninth lord.
“Then I will leave first and invite Ninth lord to drink another day.” Xia Chunyu gave a gift.
Out of the door, Song Qi said with a smile, “Heir-son lord, you are so high in dividing and ruling.”
Xia Chunyu said nothing. However, what he did was just using human nature. Originally, there were contradictions between these beggars’ gangs. Blessed were they not able to share the same benefits, not to mention the misfortune of being alone. In the end, his territory was divided up by another family. Who would like to? It’s better to drag people into the water than everyone else.
It’s still the right analysis of Yaoyao. It was done by her peers.
A fire burned the training class and also destroyed the Fu Ji. This time, it was also done in Xiangyi House and Jubao House.
