Chapter 804: Chapter 217 Chen Jie: Laugh, You Will Soon Stop Laughing_3

Su Yunjin heard this and finally smiled: ”Alright, Sister Hua, you’re not planning to go in, I’ll go by myself.”

Third Miss Hua said, ”Fine, I’ll watch outside. If you encounter any trouble, remember to call me.”

Su Yunjin said, ”Got it, Sister Hua.”

”Alright, you sit first, I’ll go check on how the chariot is.”

With that, Third Miss Hua left.

Su Yunjin watched Third Miss Hua leave, then said to Yin Hongmei beside her: ”You found Sister Hua.”

”Yes, madam.”

Yin Hongmei said.

Su Yunjin said, ”Next time, do not take such decisions without permission.”

Yin Hongmei heard this and said, ”Understood.”

After the two finished speaking, the chariot was ready. Cuiju holding a box of pearls, followed Su Yunjin onto the carriage, only used by the Fishing Guild Leader, and headed straight for South City.

...

On the other side, Chen Jie also arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tower.

The Drunken Immortal Tower, located centrally in the city, was a three-story tavern. Before the Songhe Restaurant of the West City White Tiger Hall became popular, it had always been the largest tavern in Mianshui. Today, the Drunken Immortal Tower opened early.

Because the Commandery Princess of the Ruyang King was holding a discussion meeting here today.

It’s said that all the bigwigs of Mianshui County will be coming.

Such an opportunity is a golden chance for them to surpass Songhe Restaurant. Who visits a tavern is crucial, after all.

For instance, if some great poet or official visited a certain place and wrote a poem, or even just dined casually,

there would be enthusiasts who come to visit and dine. This phenomenon in later times is called the influencer effect, a concept possibly already present in this era.

The Commandery Princess has been here, Lord Yelu has been here; when mentioned in the future, people will surely be curious to come and admire it.

This gives the Drunken Immortal Tower a chance to boom once again.

And so, they opened early in the morning, and soon enough, numerous prominent figures of Mianshui County arrived.

There were great landlords like the South City Zhang family and the North City Wang family, and some smaller guilds like the Firewood Guild’s Liu Rong and the Beggar Sect’s Zhou Peng. And of course, not to forget those who stubbornly remained like the Guild Cao’s Liu Song, among a series of other attendees.

They even stationed someone at the entrance to announce arrivals.

”Guild Leader Liu Rong of the Firewood Guild has arrived!”

”Head of the South City Zhang family has arrived!”

”Guild Leader Zhou of the Beggar Sect has arrived!”

”Young Master of Guild Cao has arrived!”

As various major forces in the city arrived, the Drunken Immortal Tower’s owner was beyond excited.

Just at that moment, they suddenly noticed a group of Black Cavalry approaching, with someone riding in the center—it was Yelu.

The Drunken Immortal Tower’s owner immediately went up to greet him, bowing slightly: ”Lord Yelu, your humble servant pays respects.”

Yelu glanced at the Drunken Immortal Tower’s owner and asked, ”Has the Commandery Princess arrived?”

The owner said, ”Not yet, not yet.”

As they were speaking, another group of people arrived from the other direction, led by someone on horseback, approaching at a leisurely pace.

Seeing this person, the owner immediately went over to greet him: ”Guild Leader Chen, your humble servant pays respects.”

Chen Jie glanced at the owner and said, ”Heh, the owner must be tired.”

The owner responded, ”Guild Leader Chen is too kind.”

At this time, Chen Jie raised his head and looked at Yelu, then cupped his fist on horseback: ”Lord Yelu, my respects.”

Yelu, seeing Chen Jie’s arrogant demeanor and not even dismounting, coldly snorted: ”Heh, Chen Jiusi, you really put on a grand display. Seeing me, you don’t even get off your horse?”

Chen Jie immediately replied: ”Oh, Lord Yelu, it’s not that I, Chen, don’t dismount, it’s just that I myself am now an official as well, so it’s challenging to pay respects to you.”

”Official status? What kind of official are you?”

Yelu looked at Chen Jie and asked. As Chen Jie was about to answer, a voice interrupted: ”Hubei Jianghu Governor’s Hundred Households, Standard Seventh Rank, Yelu, not any smaller than your rank.”

Yelu frowned and turned to see a party approaching.

Yelu looked over just in time to hear Ah San calling, and behind were the Commandery Princess Zhao Ya.

Upon seeing the Commandery Princess, Yelu immediately dismounted: ”Your humble servant greets the Commandery Princess.”

Chen Jie also dismounted: ”Subordinate greets the Commandery Princess.”

Zhao Ya looked at the two and said: ”Both of you are pillars of the kingdom, why are you bickering here? Come inside with me.”

Upon hearing her words, they immediately said: ”Yes, we obey the Commandery Princess’s orders.”

Following closely, the group headed directly into the building. Seeing this, the onlooking people were full of astonishment: ”Wow, what significant matter are they discussing? All the prominent figures of Mianshui County have come.”

Upon hearing these words, the surrounding people nodded.

Not far away, there was a Great Monk, who lifted his head to glance in this direction.

Opposite him sat a very beautiful woman, who was none other than Qiao Hongyan Han He, the local head of the Zoroastrian Sect.

Looking at the Great Monk, Han He said: ”Venerable, I just investigated, Mianshui County has only about a hundred thousand stones of grain, and currently, all the grain from Huangzhou Prefecture, Yong’an Prefecture, and Xiaogan Prefecture have been transferred away. The official granary is also nearly empty; Mianshui may suffer a disaster this time!”

”Hmm, what is your higher-ups’ intention?”

Peng Yingyu looked at Han He and asked. Hearing this, Han He said: ”The higher-ups want us to revolt on the spot, killing officials and rebelling.”

Peng Yingyu said: ”This location is in the heartland of the south, at the intersection of King Qi’s Residence and Ruyang Royal Mansion. If a rebellion breaks out, if either side causes a commotion, annihilation is certain.”

Han He said: ”Yes, that’s my opinion too, but the higher-ups said success isn’t necessary; just causing a disturbance is enough.”

Peng Yingyu said: ”Then why are you telling me this?”

Han He said: ”Great Monk, my master heard you’re in Mianshui, so he sent us to consult you, seeking your opinion. Whatever you decide, it shall be done that way.”
