Master Cui saw this, smiled, fanned himself and said nothing, looking mysterious.

There was a noise coming from the door one after another. The young men he had invited arrived one after another, and they were toasting each other and having a great time.

Mr. Li felt much more at ease. As long as there were customers coming to his store today, even if it wasn't as popular as in the past, as long as there weren't no customers at all, it would be fine.

It won't be too embarrassing.

Just as I was thinking this, the waiter's voice came from the door again, "The distinguished guest has arrived. Please open the private room on the second floor."

Mr. Li quickly glanced outside and saw, wow, a large group of people came together. Mr. Li quickly shouted into the house.

Several waiters immediately came out to help guide the guests, serve tea and cakes, and everyone started working busily.

Mr. Li felt his nose sore and his eyes getting hot. Tears almost fell, so he quickly pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

He pretended to turn around and bring the tea, wiped the corners of his eyes, took a sip from the teacup, and the gloom that had been weighing on his heart for the past few days suddenly disappeared for the most part.

The restaurant was already packed with customers before lunch time.

The gang of thugs guarding the entrance of the alley had their eyes blazing with anger, but they could do nothing. They dared to intercept servants like servants and maids, but they did not dare to appear in front of these young masters of status.

Seeing that Tianxiang Tower was packed with guests and still as glorious as ever, they had no choice but to go back and report unwillingly.

Shi Yi was drinking tea in the teahouse opposite Tianxiang Tower. She could see the entrance of Tianxiang Tower from the window.

Taoist Yuheng stood by the window holding a cup of tea and watched for a while the lively scene of customers entering the store.

He said calmly: "Does this mean that the crisis of Tianxiang Tower has been resolved?"

Shi Yi took a look and then looked away, asking Zhuzi and Shitou: "Have you captured all those people?"

Shitou nodded and said, "They've caught them all, boss. There are thirteen of them in total. They're all hooligans. The customers who came to order cakes in the morning were all driven away by them."

Zhuzi said, "They were not careful with their mouths. They confessed after a little teaching. They said they did it according to the instruction of Jingzhao Prefecture. They dared not disobey Jingzhao Yin."

Shitou: "Boss, are we going to send them to the government?"

Shi Yi: "Don't panic, lock them all up first and let them starve for a few days."

Yuheng Zhenren: "Then what should we do with Tianxianglou's shopkeeper He? He is still being held in the government jail. Although he hasn't been sentenced, what if they keep him in custody forever?"

Shi Yi said nonchalantly: "Jingzhao Prefecture will not sentence Manager He. They should be waiting to see who will take action if something happens to Tianxiang Tower. That person will be the boss, and this is what they care about most.

If the person behind the scenes is not powerful enough, then Shopkeeper He will be the murderer and will be sentenced severely. If the person behind the scenes is someone they cannot afford to offend, then Shopkeeper He will be cleared of suspicion and released without charge."

Yu Heng Zhenren sneered: "This officialdom is really shady. What does this Jing Zhao Yin want to know about the owner of Tian Xiang Lou?"

Shi Yi: "What else can I do? Who wouldn't be jealous of such a prosperous shop? I want to see if I can get a chance to eat there."

Yuheng Zhenren: "He wants to take over your shop? Then he's in trouble!"

Shi Yi snorted and laughed: "That's not necessarily true. After all, we are in Kyoto, and Jingzhao Yin is still a very important official!"

Taoist Yuheng: Have you forgotten about Prince Cheng who was treated so badly by you? He still doesn’t dare to leave the house!

Shi Yi curled the corners of his mouth:

"Starting tomorrow, have the waiter deliver meals to the shopkeeper every day. Three meals a day, with different dishes. Let the shopkeeper eat well and sleep well. Just wait patiently."

Yu Heng Zhenren put down the teacup and said to Shi Yi:

"I have already sent a letter to Master Shangguan about the situation at Tianxiang Tower. After all, he has shares!"

Shi Yi looked at Master Yuheng and smiled. This is right!

Shi Yi originally gave Ken Shangguan Jin shares so that he could easily make money with him. He was attracted by the fact that the Shangguan family was equally powerful as the government.

The government is very harsh towards businesses without background.

They usually extort money whenever they can, treating business people as fat sheep to be slaughtered. After taking the benefits, they suppress them fiercely, making life very difficult for the merchants.

But if the background is the Shangguan family, the situation would be completely different. The Shangguan family also does business, but officials do not dare to act recklessly towards the Shangguan family.

The Shangguan family always has something to gain by force among some people, so officials have to be respectful to the Shangguan family, and are even more gentle when collecting taxes.

Shi Yi would rather give Shangguan Jin some benefits than see his hard-earned family business being taken away by corrupt officials in the government.

These silver and money can only feed the appetites of some corrupt officials, and will not enter the national treasury at all. The common people will not get any benefits either. All this money goes into the hands of those parasites who use the national law as a cover.

The termites were fat and strong, and their appetites were enlarged, so they took advantage of her shop and almost made her bald.

Looking at their disgusting faces, Shi Yi had already thought about how to make a show of force to scare the enemy!

This happened to allow her to meet Shangguan Jin.

He is the future heir of the Shangguan family and a very courageous young man, so Shi Yi gave him a large profit.

Just to tie myself to his interests.

The Shangguan family accounts for 40% of the losses suffered by Tianxiang Tower.

Therefore, after sending the message to him, Shi Yi would not have to worry about it, as the Shangguan family would deal with those who were eyeing Tianxiang Tower.

How great is this, the enemy can be wiped out without any effort!

If there was no Shangguan family, would Shi Yi be helpless?

Of course not, it's just that now there is someone more suitable to do it for her, and she just needs to tell him the news she knows.

This is the sincerity that the Shangguan family should show. When they hand over a few percent of the profits, they also hand over all the obstacles encountered in the operation. This is the peace of mind they want.

Shangguan Jin is still very reliable. Shi Yi gave him several tasks, and he handled them all in line with Shi Yi's wishes.

Shi Yi generally does not want to directly intervene in official affairs, as the Shangguan family has a close relationship with the government.

Let him handle this matter, it's very suitable, professionals do professional things.

Shangguan Jin responded very quickly. When Shi Yi arrived in Kyoto, Shangguan Jin's arrangements had already been implemented and had produced results.

Today, Tianxianglou opened its doors, and all these second-generation officials came to show their support. This is the influence of the Shangguan family.

The Shangguan family just said hello, and today Tianxiang Tower was packed with distinguished guests. Shi Yi raised the corner of his mouth and said to Master Yuheng:

"Judging from Shangguan Jin's behavior, the owner of our Tianxianglou is probably on his way back."

Yu Heng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:

"Can it really be that fast? This is Kyoto, not the Shangguan family's headquarters."
