"Hehe, miscellaneous household? So what?" Peng Yu didn't mind at all and looked at Zhang Lizheng from the corner of her eyes.
"So what? Let me tell you, tomorrow, you will follow your brother and you to dig the Luoyang River. How was it? Are you satisfied now? Haha." Zhang Lizheng raised his head and laughed proudly.
Who cares who you are? This is a corvee assigned by the government. I appointed you, so you have to obediently follow me to work hard.
After hearing Zhang Lizheng's words, Peng Yu didn't do anything, but Li Cuihua, Peng Yong, and the others 'expressions changed drastically.
Because the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was a man-made river, people were often needed to remove the silt from the river. This kind of heavy work was the most tiring. With Peng Yu's body, she probably wouldn't be able to come back.
"Chief, you can't. The child is still young and his body has just recovered. How can he bear such heavy work?”Li Cuihua stepped forward and was about to kneel down in front of Zhang Lizheng, but she was grabbed by a strong hand.
"Mother, don't beg him." Peng Yu pulled Li Cuihua up, her eyes determined.
"Zhang Lizheng, this Peng family's third son is going to Hongbin Tower to tell stories. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to dig the soil?”Aunt Liu glared at Peng Yu, her face full of pride and excitement.
Brat, didn't you just slap this old lady's face two days ago? This old lady is going to give you another stab now!
"Hehe, Hongbin Restaurant? Have you seen a carriage from Hongbin Restaurant come to take him away these days?”Zhang Lizheng's eyes flashed with craftiness.
"Oh, right, I don't think so. What's going on?”Aunt Liu thought for a moment and looked at Zhang Lizheng in confusion.
"Why? He might as well tell everyone that the Peng family offended Young Master Cui Yan. Think about it, what good ending could the Peng family have?”Zhang Lizheng looked at Peng Yu as if he was looking at a dead person.
Hearing this, the Peng family felt as if their bones had been taken away by someone. Their bodies were so soft that they seemed to be about to fall.
The other people in the courtyard looked enlightened and then looked at the Peng family with sympathy.
In the Tang Empire, the power of the aristocratic families was unimaginable. These lowlifes, who were not even as powerful as commoners, only knew that the Cui Family could crush them with a flick of their little finger.
Not to mention that the Peng family, which was hated by the Cui family, might be disbanded tomorrow.
"Peng family's third son, we've been neighbors for many years, I might as well point out a path for you. Otherwise, don't say that I, Zhang Lizheng, didn't give you any advice when you're at your wit's end." Zhang Lizheng looked at Peng Yu as if he had already won.
Unexpectedly, Peng Yu ignored him. She just looked at the slightly gray sky and sighed,"It's about time!"”
"What is it? You what?" Peng Yu's words were very soft, so Zhang Lizheng didn't hear it clearly. He couldn't help but look at him in confusion.
Peng Yu ignored him and just looked at the sky with her hands behind her back.
"Peng Yu, I don't care what you say. I'm telling you, you're going to dig the soil tomorrow.”Seeing that Peng Yu ignored him, Zhang Lizheng was a little exasperated.
"Who asked Young Master Peng to dig the soil?”As soon as she finished speaking, an angry voice came from outside the door. Then, a person walked in and headed straight for Peng Yu.
"Young Master Peng!" That person walked over and cupped his hands towards Peng Yu.
Then, he looked around with a threatening gaze. Those who met his eyes hurriedly lowered their heads.
"Shopkeeper Wang, what brings you here?”Peng Yu looked at Wang Qian.
"What else can there be? I heard that Hongbin Restaurant doesn't allow you to tell stories anymore.”Wang Qian stared at Peng Yuwo and asked.
"That's true," Peng Yu said indifferently.
" Alright then, come to my Bright Moon Restaurant and tell me." Hearing Peng Yu's affirmation, Wang Qian slapped his thigh and his eyes lit up with joy.
"Oh? No, I have to dredge the river tomorrow. Shopkeeper Wang, please find someone else!”Peng Yu sat down and said indifferently.
"Dredging? Digging what mud? I just heard someone asking you to dig the soil outside the door. What's going on?”Wang Qian was confused.
"The person who wants to dig the soil is right in front of you. Go and ask him yourself." Peng Yu did not comment.
"The person in front of me?" Wang Qian's gaze left Peng Yu and landed on Zhang Lizheng. Other than Peng Yu, Zhang Lizheng was the only one sitting in the courtyard.
"What do you do?" Wang Qian frowned and looked at Zhang Lizheng.
"Me? I'm the chief of this place. How dare a small merchant like you talk to me like this?”Zhang Lizheng was a little scared when he saw Wang Qian coming at him menacingly. However, when he thought of the Cui family behind him, he immediately became bolder.
"Li Zheng? Pa!" Wang Qian seemed to have heard something funny and gave Zhang Lizheng a loud slap.
"You dare to hit me? I'm a Li Zheng!" Zhang Lizheng stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"You're just a small Li Zheng, and you dare to make a racket here!”Wang Qian slapped him again.
The people in the courtyard were stunned. This was the most powerful person in this area. A Li Zheng, no matter how young he was, he was still an official.
This person was slapping Li Zheng's face like he was slapping his son, and he didn't look afraid at all.
"Stop it, I'm still a member of the Cui family! Aren't you afraid of the Cui family?" Zhang Lizheng took a few steps back, fear flashing in his eyes.
"Cui family? Luoyang's Cui Clan?" Upon hearing the Cui family, Wang Qian stopped and looked at Zhang Lizheng curiously.
"Yes, it's the Cui family of Luoyang. Why, are you afraid?”Seeing that the other party had stopped, Zhang Lizheng revealed a smug smile again.
"I'm afraid? Just a branch of the Cui family in Qinghe River, and you can't scare me. Guess who I am?”Wang Qian walked closer to Zhang Lizheng.
"Who are you?" When Zhang Lizheng saw the other party approaching, he quickly took a few steps back and looked at Wang Qian with fear.
"Taiyuan Wang Clan! Do you think I'm afraid of the Cui family?" A cold smile appeared in Wang Qian's eyes.
"Ah?" Zhang Lizheng was stunned by this information.
"Is the Wang family of Taiyuan very impressive?”A cold voice sounded from outside the courtyard.
