Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 157: Beating
"Bo Hu, there is no need for that. You are a juren after all. Although the court has suspended one of your examinations, it has never confiscated your honor."

"With your status, it's easy to make some money. Why do you have to work so hard to come to this newspaper and do a review job?"

"There's really no need to worry about my money. I treat you as a friend. The money is nothing to me. You don't have to return it."

In front of Shuntian Newspaper, Xu Jing was persuading Tang Yin.

Tang Yin shook his head and said to Xu Jing seriously, "Father Heng, I think I should change my temper. I have worked hard and steadily for two years. Although I don't earn much, I can calm down. I will return your money sooner or later. I will give you part of it every month when I get my salary."

This fraud case changed Tang Yin a lot. He also realized the fickleness of human nature and understood the complexity of human nature.

Just as Chen Ce taught him, if he doesn't change his temper, the consequences will be even more serious when he becomes an official in the future.

He should calm down, give up all his previous pride, learn the ways of the world with an open mind, patiently change his arrogant temperament from the details of life, let go of everything, and start over.

Tang Yin smiled and said to Xu Jing, "Father Heng, I don't want to disappoint the teacher again this time."

"Shuntian Newspapers can give me the opportunity to hone my skills, and I should cherish it."

Xu Jing said: "But you are a juren! How can a juren do such a job?"

Tang Yin shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. If I don't tell anyone, no one will know that I'm a juren."

Xu Jing took a deep look at Tang Yin who resolutely entered the newspaper office. He felt that Tang Yin seemed to have really begun to transform.

……

In front of the Dujuan Tower, the lights in the flower market are as bright as day.

Yang Yuzhen entered the third floor of Dujuan Building, waving the Xiangfei fan in a showy manner.

The owners of the nine brothels in Shuntian Prefecture and the prostitute Yin Ping'er had been waiting here for a long time to find the owner behind Shuntian Newspapers. Everyone wanted to see what this owner looked like.

The door of the private room was opened, and all the hosts stood up together and bowed respectfully to Yang Yuzhen.

Yin Ping'er looked at the person who came in astonishment, her expression a little stunned. How could it be him?
"Young Master Yang is young and promising."

"Young Master Yang is very charming and suave."

"Manager Yang, please take your seat quickly."

Yang Yuzhen had never felt such a passionate scene before. He felt a little ecstatic. Looking at this group of people being respectful to him, he felt very happy.

It’s a pity that he is not the owner of Shuntian Press.

But it’s cool enough.

suddenly.

Yang Yuzhen saw Yin Ping'er in the crowd, and a flash of displeasure flashed across his face. He sneered and said, "Miss Ping'er is here too?"

It was this little bitch who caused him to lose his family property. However, now it is a business transaction, so Yang Yuzhen will put aside personal grudges for the time being.

Yin Ping'er pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you the owner of Shuntian Newspaper?"

Yang Yuzhen said calmly: "Of course!"

"no!"

The bosses and shopkeepers who were so enthusiastic just now looked embarrassed. Did they lick the wrong person after licking him for so long?

"Who is that?" Yin Ping'er asked.

Yang Yuzhen said: "My foster father."

"Today I am here to attend the banquet on behalf of my adoptive father. He doesn't like this kind of occasion."

Although I am not the owner of Shuntian Press, my godfather is awesome!

Oh, so he is the godson of the owner of Shuntian Newspaper Company. That’s enough.

Everyone became lively again, and after three rounds of drinks, the hosts expressed their demands to Yang Yuzhen. Yang Yuzhen weighed the pros and cons and immediately refused.

The ranking of beauties in Shuntian Prefecture published in the newspaper is selected by scholars in Shuntian Prefecture. If you guys take over all the rankings, what credibility will the newspaper have in the future?

He is not a fool. Since he can work for Chen Ce, he naturally has this sense of propriety.

"Haha, but I do have a suggestion. I can draw the portraits of the girls on the list and put them on the newspaper rankings. What do you think?"

The lively atmosphere just now gradually became cold. These brothels in Shuntian Prefecture are not without connections behind the scenes, and are more or less involved in some criminal forces.

"If Young Master Yang can't talk, then let your foster father talk instead? It seems that we didn't invite you."

Yang Yuzhen was not intimidated at all and said calmly: "Oh, did we give you face? We asked you to treat us?"

"You are not grateful for coming here? You still want my adoptive father to talk to you? Are you worthy?" A brothel owner sneered, "Young Master Yang, be careful when walking at night, don't bump into anything."

Yang Yuzhen laughed: "Are you guys planning to attack me? If I get hurt a little tonight, my godfather will kill you!"

My adoptive father is a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Would I be afraid of you?
Yang Yuzhen actually had his own considerations. In his opinion, this conflict was inevitable. Even if they did not take action, the pawnbrokers in Shuntian Prefecture would do so.

When the newspaper published the recruitment information, it had already offended the dental clinic in Shuntian Prefecture, but Yang Yuzhen did not tell Chen Ce about this small matter.

He had already prepared for a showdown tonight, whether it was to scare the tiger with a warning or to kill a chicken to scare the monkey, he had to let those scoundrels in the pawn shop know that Shuntian Newspapers is not to be messed with!
He was ready to be beaten tonight.

Not enough words to speculate.

Yang Yuzhen held the Xiang Fei fan and said pretentiously: "I'm leaving now. I want to see how I bump into things."

On the way, Yang Yuzhen was a little nervous. If he had known earlier, he would have asked his adoptive father to send two Jinyiwei to protect him closely.

However, it doesn't seem right to trouble my godfather with such a small matter.

Walking out of Chengqingfang Street, there was a dark area. Yang Yuzhen quickened his pace. Suddenly, several people emerged from the darkness and beat Yang Yuzhen severely when they caught him.

"It doesn't hurt!"

"Come again!"

"Hit me hard!"

"Fuck your mother, just wait for me! How dare you do this?"

"Haha! Okay, come on, harder!"

Yang Yuzhen cursed loudly!
……

It was late at night and Chen Ce was ready to go to sleep.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. It was so late and Chen Ce didn't know who it was. When he opened the door, he saw Yang Yuzhen with a grimacing face. Chen Ce subconsciously kicked him.

"What the hell?"

hiss!
Yang Yuzhen held her stomach and said painfully, "Is there anyone here? If not, I'll scream."

"Godfather, it's me!"

Yang Yuzhen spoke.

Chen Ce vaguely recognized from his voice that it was Yang Yuzhen.

"You were just attending a banquet, why were you beaten like this? Even if the deal fell through, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

Yang Yuzhen stammered, "Foster father, call the Jinyiwei, and let's go and deal with them."

There was a hint of excitement in his words.

Chen Ce rolled his eyes at him and said, "You were beaten, why did you ask me to bring the Jinyiwei with you?"

"You caused all this trouble yourself, why should I pay for it?"

Yang Yuzhen said aggrievedly: "Foster father, you are so heartless. I took this beating for you."

Chen Ce: “?”

Yang Yuzhen said, "You published those employment information in the newspapers, which cut off the business of the pawnbrokers. The pawnbrokers have unclear connections with the brothels."

"This banquet tonight... is not that simple."

"This matter has to be resolved sooner or later. I don't see how busy you are these days, and I don't want to cause you any more trouble, so I'm thinking of a way to solve it once and for all..."

After listening to Yang Yuzhen's words, Chen Ce finally understood and said, "Don't you deserve it?"

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Yang Yuzhen said aggrievedly: "I think you have been busy enough recently, so I will ask you to come out and make an example of others after the result is revealed."

"So you took this beating for nothing?"

"Are you stupid?"

Chen Ce was speechless, "Wait here, I really admire you."

The moment he left the courtyard, Chen Ce's face darkened.
