Chapter 73: Bribery

"Sir Shen, this is the young master of my An family after all, can you please show some mercy?"
Pulling Shen Yu aside, the butler was so anxious that he started sweating. If the young master was paraded through the streets today, his job as a butler would be over, and he might even have his legs broken and be kicked out.
"So what if he is the young master of the An family! I treat everyone equally in my eyes. No one has any privileges!"
"Sir Shen, please leave some space for us so that we can meet again in the future!"
"What a joke! If someone respects me, I will respect him ten feet! But if someone offends me, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Pulling away the An family housekeeper's hand, Shen Yu snorted coldly, "Since the An family dares to plot against me, they must be prepared to pay the price!"
"Lu Ze, take him away!"
"You, you, you are going too far!"
"Humph, if you don't shut up, I'll arrest you too!" With a cold snort, Shen Yu personally paraded the young master of the An family through the streets. He wanted to let all the people know that since he was here, no one in Sanshui County could do whatever they wanted!
It was not until the evening that Shen Yu had just sent the young master of the An family to the prison and returned to the county government office alone, and Lu Ze hurried over.
"Sir, the leaders of the three major chambers of commerce invite you to a banquet at Menghua Tower! Sir, you have embarrassed the An family today, I'm afraid you have bad intentions!"
"It's okay, it's nothing more than a new soldier arriving. However, if Sanshui County wants to be stable, the three major chambers of commerce must not be in chaos!" Shen Yu took the invitation, looked at it and put it in his arms.
The three chambers of commerce were well-known and their accumulated wealth was more than ten thousand taels. He had long wanted to see them. This was a good opportunity to meet the leading figures of Sanshui County.
Sanshui County is crowded with merchants and countless people come and go. Sanshui County is brightly lit at night, making it even more prosperous and noisy. All the way to Menghua Tower, there are endless sounds of orioles and swallows, mixed with bursts of pleasant stringed instruments.
Menghua Tower is the largest brothel in Sanshui County, and one of the best in Jiangzhou. There are many beauties inside, and the girls are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Any girl taken out and put outside could be the top girl in other brothels. It is said that this place can make people linger and forget to leave, like a dream!
As soon as he stepped into the place, a unique fragrance hit his nose. Then, Shen Yu was surrounded by several pretty girls.
After all, there weren't many guests as handsome as Shen Yu. Especially his unique temperament was the most attractive. So when he arrived, he was noticed by several girls at the same time.
"Sir, is this your first time in Menghua Tower? How about letting me serve you?"
"Sir, don't listen to her. I'm the top girl in Menghua Tower. You're right to choose me. I guarantee that you will be reluctant to leave!"
Shen Yu felt helpless as the girl's seductive voice filled his ears . These girls are good, but some of them are too boastful. The top girl can stand in the hall to welcome guests, who are you trying to fool?
Damn it, talk is one thing, but don’t touch me, who is touching me?
Shen Yu quickly moved away from the others, straightened his wrinkled clothes, and said, "I have an appointment at Shanhai Pavilion!"
"Shanhai Pavilion?" When they heard the name, the girls who were about to come close again immediately stopped, with a look of trepidation on their faces. "Sir, are you coming to Shanhai Pavilion for a banquet? Come on, come in!"
The Shanhai Pavilion of Menghua Tower is not a place that ordinary people can enter. Anyone who can enter it must be rich or noble. And as far as they know, the leaders of the three major chambers of commerce are waiting for someone in the Shanhai Pavilion tonight. Could it be that they are waiting for him?
Who is this young man that makes the presidents of the three major chambers of commerce wait for him?
Under the guidance of the people in Menghua Tower, Shen Yu successfully came to the top floor of Shanhai Pavilion. There were mountains and water in one room, and the lifelike murals on the surrounding walls seemed to integrate the mountains and the sea into this small house.
Several beautiful girls were playing the piano and the flute, as if echoing with the scenery, and the atmosphere was filled with elegance and refinement everywhere.
But for a vulgar person like Shen Yu, the first impression is not elegance, but wealth. Too much wealth. How much money must have cost to build such a thing?
"Lord Shen, please take a seat!" After seeing Shen Yu, these people became more enthusiastic than each other, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
"Sir Shen!" As soon as Shen Yu sat down, an old man next to him said to him with a smile, "Today, my An family disciple caused some trouble and caused trouble for Sir Shen. I hope Sir Shen will not blame me!"
"So it's the head of the An family!" Shen Yu nodded to the other party, and then greeted him with a smile, "I didn't expect the An family to be so righteous, but I hope President An won't blame me for meddling in other people's business!"
"No, my family didn't discipline me strictly, so Lord Shen took over the discipline. I am grateful to you, so how could I blame you!"
"Smiling tiger!"
"Old fox!"
Although they only said two sentences, they labeled each other in their hearts. Especially the head of the An family was more cautious. Who said that this kid had an arrogant and impulsive personality? How come he saw a little fox with deep scheming.
"Sir Shen, some time ago my An family got a sword that can cut through iron like mud. Unfortunately, there is no one in the An family who is good at using swords. This sword will only be covered in dust in our hands!"
As he spoke, the head of the An family took out an exquisite long sword, and then slowly drew the sword out of its sheath. In an instant, a chill was overwhelming, and the shining blade seemed brilliant and dazzling. The appearance alone was already quite extraordinary.
Most swordsmen would probably drool after seeing such a sword. The attraction of a top-grade sword is absolutely fatal to a swordsman.
"As the saying goes, a sword is bestowed upon a hero. Only a hero like Lord Shen can make it shine. I hope Lord Shen will not despise it!"
"Really? Then President An, do you mind letting me give it a try?"
"This is a gift for you, please take it and try it out!"
"That's good!" Shen Yu smiled at the head of the An family, then took out his Yuanhong sword and slashed at it fiercely. With a snap, the sword that was originally full of sword energy was instantly broken into two pieces, shocking everyone.
"Oh, President An, your sword is just so-so! Did you get cheated? I guess the person who sold you the sword just took advantage of you because you don't know anything about swords and just fooled you!"
"You!" Staring at Shen Yu intently, the head of the An family almost lost his temper on the spot. If I were 20 years younger, I would definitely challenge you to a duel!
How could he not know whether this sword was fake or not? Such a powerful sword actually broke into two pieces, which could only mean that the sword in the other party's hand was sharper and he didn't even care about it.
“Haha, Master An, don’t be angry. Who hasn’t been cheated in business?” Looking at Master An’s unfriendly expression, the head of the He family next to him smiled and tried to smooth things over.
He Yuanchang, the head of the He family, was a chubby, fat man in his fifties, who looked harmless when he smiled. But if anyone really thought he was harmless and easy to bully, they would be swallowed up skin and flesh.
"Sir Shen, I have heard that you are a very talented writer, and your calligraphy is even better! Recently, my He family is about to open a pawnshop , which will be the largest pawnshop in Sanshui County. My He family attaches great importance to it. So, today I shamelessly want to ask Sir Shen for a piece of calligraphy!"
"Sir Shen, our He family is willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold as a reward for your writing!"
