Cheng Yaojin hid behind the door. He saw clearly the person who came to smash the shop. He didn't know the other servants, but he knew Pei Yao.

Cheng Yaojintian grew a pair of poisonous eyes. When he accompanied Yang Yuanqing to Pei Mansion for a banquet, Pei Yao was one of the people who accompanied him. Although more than ten years had passed, he still recognized him at a glance. Moreover, Pei Yao was also called Pei You eldest sister!

Cheng Yaojin then realized that he was fooled by Pei You. It was not a scoundrel who caused trouble, but a scoundrel. What should I do? To help or not, helping means that he will offend the Pei family, and maybe he will be punished by military law. If he doesn't help, Pei You will be alone.

Cheng Yaojin's eyes turned, it was inevitable that offend the Pei family, but he still had a way to escape the punishment of military law. Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and called his thirty subordinates in front of him, whispering a few words to them. The soldiers nodded, but Cheng Yaojin jumped out of the back window.

Outside the gate, Pei You pulled out a knife and shouted: "Whoever you dare to come up, I will kill whoever you dare!"

All the servants of Pei's family stopped and did not dare to rush forward. Pei Yao was furious and pointed at the wine shop with a horse whip, "Don't pay attention to her and smash the wine shop!"

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

If he doesn't finish this matter today, he will also be punished by family law. Seeing that the servants still hesitate and dare not go forward, he urged him to go forward and whipped a servant with a sudden whip, "Roar up!"

The servants were forced to go around Pei You and rushed into the restaurant. Pei You rushed forward and slashed at one of the servants with a knife, "You go and die!"

Back then, she was alone in Qinghe County to support the diner, and from time to time, there were rogues who came to ask for money and cause trouble. She tried hard with a fierce spirit and used a knife to save her meager property. Today, her mother's family was going to smash her diner. In grief and anger, she also took the initiative.

But all the servants of the Pei family had practiced martial arts, and Pei You was a woman after all, and several servants smashed her knife with wooden sticks at the same time.

‘Dang!’ The knife was smashed away, and another stick hit Pei You’s leg. Pei You staggered and fell to the ground. People around him were clamoring, and some people scolded, “What kind of man is beaten to a woman!”

Pei Yao didn't bother to explain and shouted, "Run in and smash the diner!"

More than twenty servants rushed into the tavern. At this moment, dozens of soldiers rushed out of the tavern, waving the table and the wooden sticks and iron forks in the kitchen. One by one, the evil spirits rushed towards the taverns like wolves and tigers.

These soldiers were not only skilled in martial arts, but also experienced the baptism of countless wars. They were even more fierce and cruel. In cooperation with tacit understanding, they smashed several servants towards each other and rushed into the group of servants to fight like a battlefield.

The soldiers were extremely fierce, and the servants were bleeding from their heads. They cried and called their parents, which attracted cheers around them. Cheng Yaojin hid in a corner and even shouted loudly.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, he rushed over as if he was running from a distance, panting and shouted: "Stop! Stop all!"

The soldiers stopped fighting, and the servants ran away from a distance. More than a dozen servants lay on the ground, moaning and rolling in pain. Cheng Yaojin rushed forward, slapped one soldier, punched another soldier, and cursed: "Who told you to fight in the street?"

A soldier reported: "General, we are having dinner in a restaurant. These rogue gangsters are about to rush in to smash people's wealth and rob drinkers. We are forced to take action and punish them a little. We have already reported to the officials, and the government should come soon."

Cheng Yaojin's face was slowing down a little. He deliberately pretended not to know Pei Yao, pointed at the servants all over the ground and cursed: "At the feet of the world, you rogues dare to bully the women of the people and seize the wealth of the people. Is there any other way to the king?"

He shouted, "Send them all to the government to question!"

Cheng Yaojin was extremely cunning. Fighting in the street was a violation of military law, but assisting the government in protecting people's wealth and maintaining public order was a meritorious service. The key was to bring the local government in, and the nature would change. So anyway, the Pei family offended it, so they just pretended to be stupid to the end.

The soldiers rushed forward one after another and tied up the servants 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 get big. Once the government intervened, it would be a little trouble.

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "General Cheng, this is a misunderstanding!"

Cheng Yaojin glanced at him and said coldly: "Who are you?"

"In the lower Pei Yao, the son of the Pei family, this is not a rogue cause trouble, but an internal dispute between the Pei family. These are all the servants of the Pei family, and they beg General Cheng to release them."

"Can't let go!"

Pei You limped over, her hair was scattered, and 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 a member of the Pei family. The Pei family just wants to seize people's wealth by relying on their power, and they must treat them to the officials!"

Pei You shouted to the people around him again: "Dear villagers, have you seen this? This is the so-called famous family, the Pei family's guard. When they saw that the little girl's restaurant had a good business, they had evil thoughts and wanted to take it away by force. Is there any kingly law in the world?"

The entire Taipei City was alarmed, and there were thousands of onlookers. Everyone shouted, "The Pei family bullies people with their power, and the Pei family robs people's wealth!" The momentum was huge, and resentment and anger was boiling.

Sweat beads rolling down Pei Yao's forehead. He just wanted to cut the mess quickly, and closed the door and smashed the store and left, but he didn't expect that Pei You found a helper, which made them unable to enter the store.

He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. He should have come in the middle of the night. When he came during the day, he attracted so many people to watch, 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 angry waves of people.

At this time, Zhou Qunyi, the county magistrate of Jinyang County, brought more than 20 yamen runners to come. He knew Pei Yao and also knew Pei You's background. Seeing this situation, he immediately understood most of the time. This made him a headache and difficult to deal with. If he didn't care, his official hat would not be kept. If he cares, he might offend the Pei family again.

But the public resentment was already boiling. If they did not interfere, they would probably be beaten to death by the angry people. He had no choice but to shout, "Take them all to the county government to deal with!"

Pei You felt aggrieved, and she stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Master Qingtian, the young woman wants to sue the Pei family for bullying others. He robs the people's wealth. I hope the county magistrate will make the decision for the young woman!"

The Yuan'an Tavern incident, which was sensational, was finally settled in a way that the Pei family could not accept. The Pei family was forced to make a written guarantee that they would no longer interfere with Pei You's opening a shop. As a concession, Pei You also withdrew the complaint, but the Pei family immediately dismissed Pei You's clanship and no longer recognized that she was the daughter of the Pei family.

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

County Magistrate Zhou was very careful. When he took away the prisoners, he did not take the soldiers to the county government and treated them as passers-by. He did not mention Cheng Yaojin and his soldiers at all in the report. He knew that he could no longer involve the army.

But this incident brought an unexpected result to Yuan'an's diners, that is, their fame has increased. Diners came one after another, wanting to see the restaurant that even the Pei family wanted to seek, making Yuan'an's diners business a booming.

In the room on the fifth floor of the wine shop, Pei You put up her skirt and was carefully wiping the medicinal wine on her legs. Although it had been a day since she was beaten, she still had a slight pain in her legs. However, when she thought that this stick would be exchanged for the Pei family's three thousand yuan in compensation for the injury medicine, she felt relieved.

At this moment, a 'dong!dong!' knocking on the door suddenly came, and then I heard the shopkeeper shouting: "Master, there is an important matter!" The voice was quite anxious.

Pei You was startled and hurriedly put down his skirt, tidied up his dress, and went forward to open the door. He saw a plate in his hand, and there was a lot of money in the plate. Pei You frowned, "What's going on?"

"Owner, we have received fake silver money." The shopkeeper almost cried.

Pei You was shocked and quickly opened the door and took the plate. She walked back to the room and pulled the window curtain open. A large area of ​​bright light shone into the room and shone on the plate on the table. The silver coins in the plate reflected dazzling white.

Pei You picked up a few silver coins and looked at them carefully at the light. The workmanship was very exquisite, exactly the same as the silver coins issued by the imperial court, with the size, patterns and handwriting.

Suddenly, she seemed to feel something was wrong. She quickly walked into the cabinet and reached out to grab a few silver coins from the cabinet. The moment she touched the silver coins, she immediately confirmed her feelings. The money brought by the shopkeeper was heavier, and the weight of the five silver coins was equivalent to the ten silver coins issued by the court.

"Owner!"

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

Fortunately, the loss was not big. Pei You comforted him and said, "This is not your fault, nor the guys' fault. Be careful. Who dares to pay the bill with fake money? Grab him immediately and go!"

"Thank you, the boss!"

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around. Pei You thought for a while. She immediately put the silver money on the plate into a brocade bag, put on another robe, tidyed her hair, opened the door and went downstairs, and walked to the first floor. She told the clerk: "Prepare a carriage for me, I'm going to Jinyang Palace!"

It was approaching evening, and the time for the Jinyang Palace to be released had already passed, but Yang Yuanqing had not left in the Jinyang Palace. He usually had to be busy until it was over dark before returning home. Especially during this period, the tranquility was giving birth to a crisis, and the crisis was approaching the Great Sui Dynasty step by step.

He found that he had underestimated Jie Li Khan's determination to establish his authority with his military merits. Yesterday, he received a letter of help from the rest of Wutu's tribe living by the Wuqibo Lake. A small group of Turkic cavalry had begun to harass the rest of Wutu's tribe, killing men, robbing women and property. More than 100 scattered Turkic herders were killed and robbed.

Although only a small group of Turkic cavalry appeared, according to experience, there must be a large group of Turkic cavalry behind the small group of Turkic cavalry. Moreover, the weather is a bit abnormal today. It is about to be November, but the grassland has not snowed for a long time, just like the winter of Daye's sixth year. That year, there was even drought in the summer and autumn of the Central Plains, and there was no snow on the grassland throughout the winter. Could it be the same this year?

Yang Yuanqing was full of worries. If the grassland does not snow 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. Pei You, the owner of the Yuan'an Restaurant, asked for a meeting, saying that there was a big deal to report to the owner."
