My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 97: Fainted

It is natural that someone who can become the shopkeeper of such a large restaurant in the capital is not an ordinary person. The reason why he dared to slap the clerk just now was because he knew that with his status, he could defeat him.

But now he was facing a third-grade military attache, and the other party's identity was the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. In this way, the identities of the two parties were reversed.

He wanted to give in, but when he thought of the master behind him, his originally bent back straightened up again.

"Master Jia, of course I don't dare to offend you, but that piece of shit just now... bang..."

Before he finished speaking, he received another hard slap on the right side of his face.

Moreover, the force of the slap was even greater, and the shopkeeper's huge body even spun around a few times before sitting down on the ground.

Gold stars suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and there was a buzzing in my ears. Jia Yu's voice seemed to come from the horizon, "I didn't hear you clearly just now. Who are you calling a piece of shit?"

"you you……"

At this time, the shopkeeper was stunned, but sitting on the ground, he felt the chill coming from his buttocks, and he became more awake.

He was about to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood and several yellow teeth.

Jia Yu slowly squatted down and looked directly into his eyes: "Although a minor official is not an official, since he is out on errands, he represents the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the face of the imperial court.

This merchant actually dared to beat him. Did you take the Army and Horses Division seriously?Have you taken this officer seriously? "

Although Jia Yu's voice was not loud, his words were heart-breaking.

Seeing Jia Yu's cold gaze, the shopkeeper also panicked a little. He gritted his teeth and said in a slightly leaky voice: "Sir... this restaurant is... owned by Prince Zhongshun."

Jia Yu said coldly: "What about Prince Zhongshun's Palace? Does Prince Zhongshun's Palace not need to pay money?"
A few days ago, the Wucheng Military and Horse Division had posted a notice stating that these sanitation fees only apply to shops on the street, and are not charged to ordinary people.

Your Elite Gathering Building only costs one, two and a half cents of silver every month. Is it possible that you can't even spare this little money? "

At this point, Jia Yu stood up and said coldly: "This is all I have to say... If you all gather together and still don't pay the health fee before sunset today, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

"Let's go... let's go to the next house!"

After saying that, Jia Yu walked towards another shop with her hands behind her back.

Only the shopkeeper who gathered together was left looking at Jia Yu's back in disbelief. Did this commander, who was rumored to be ruthless, let him go just like that?

When the sun set, all the commanders and deputy commanders of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division gathered together.

Jia Yu sat behind the desk in the lobby and glanced at everyone: "Let's talk about it. Today is the last day. How is the collection of health fees?"

"Sir, the situation is not very good." Feng Ziying said first.

"My legs have become thin these days, but not many people are willing to pay the health fee. They all say they would rather clean it themselves than spend so much money."

"It's the same thing here in the humble position."

"The jobs here are better, but the number of businessmen willing to pay health fees is only about [-]%."

Wu Yunchun, Xie Youyuan and others also reported on the charging situation in the three cities in the north, south and west.

After the report, the group looked at Jia Yu with some worry.

Collecting sanitation fees and conducting a general cleaning of the entire divine capital was Jia Yu's first shot after taking office as the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. If this shot were to fail, both his prestige and the court's reputation towards him would be ruined. It's all a big blow.

"Okay...then let's do it."

But Jia Yu didn't feel panic at all and just nodded.

"Sir... why don't you find some friends in your humble position, host a banquet to invite some wealthy merchants, and have a good time with them..." "No!"

Jia Yu waved her hand and interrupted him.

"Since these people don't like toasting, don't blame me for inviting them to drink fine wine..."

That night
"We're doing the right thing, we just won't pay the health fee."

"Jia Yu is greedy and competes with the people for profit. There has never been such an argument about health expenses since ancient times."

"I just won't hand it over, but I want to see what he can do?"

Whispers came from many houses and courtyards.

"Jia Yu actually dares to come to Gu's restaurant to collect cash, and wants to blind him! You tell that idiot right away. If someone from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division comes to collect cash next time, you immediately find some censors. Let’s take part in the excerpt!”

No matter how many people cursed him that night, Jia Yu was still the same as before early the next morning. He washed up under the careful service of his personal maid Qingwen. After breakfast, he went to the Wucheng Bingma Si Yamen because there was going to be something good today. Watched the show.

Early this morning, countless people in Shenjing City who got up early noticed that there were many people wearing gray vests on the street. These people started to clean up the garbage on the street with brooms, shovels, dustpans, carts and other tools in their hands.

Moreover, the division of labor among these people is very clear. Some people sweep the floor, some dig out old accumulated silt, feces and other things from the ditches next to the street, and some are responsible for loading garbage into trucks, and they do it in a meticulous manner.

The people in Shenjing City had never seen this thing before. Many onlookers quickly gathered around and pointed at them, and many people even laughed while watching.

These people didn't pay attention to others and just went about their work silently.

But as silt, feces and other materials accumulated, the streets began to be filled with an overwhelming stench, and everyone around them shunned it.

The shopkeeper of the Heroes Gathering Restaurant became bolder after receiving instructions from his master. He had been guarding the door of the restaurant since the morning, but he didn't see anyone coming to charge until it was three o'clock in the morning.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper gradually came to a conclusion.

The people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division were frightened.

"Pooh!"

He spat heavily on the ground, "I thought you were so powerful. You talked so much yesterday. Now that you know the reputation of our prince, you are still scared."

"Let's go... go back and have some drinks."

The proud shopkeeper turned around and was about to go back to the restaurant, but he felt something was wrong, and his nose suddenly twitched several times in succession.

"What's going on...where does the smell come from?"

"Shopkeeper, look quickly!"

Suddenly a waiter pointed behind him and shouted. The shopkeeper looked back and almost fainted.

I saw that large vehicles had surrounded the Gathering of Heroes Building, and what kind of things were on these large vehicles.

Feces, sludge, garbage, just about every disgusting thing imaginable can be found on these carts.

Not only that, but huge blowflies were constantly flying around these large cars.

"You bastards... who asked you to bring these things here... come... uh..."

Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, he rolled his eyes and fainted from the strong stench...
