Zhang Fang's persuasion was futile, and he and his brothers left the main room. Among Jiao Mu's gang, besides Zhang Fang, there was a man named Zhao Zhen, both of whom were Jiao Mu's left and right arms.

Zhao Xi whispered: "I didn't expect that there is such a powerful force in the Lord. I usually think of him as a mere warrior..."

"Be careful with your words, be careful with your words..." Zhang Fang hurriedly stopped 놛, "Since you know how powerful 놛 is, how dare you speak like that?"

Zhang Fang was also extremely shocked by Jiao's arrangement.

In recent years, they have been inseparable from their master Jiao Er, but Jiao Er may have done something behind their backs.

Not only we were kept in the dark, even the old master was kept in the dark.

Jiao Li secretly recruited some desperate criminals and told them the benefits. These criminals dared to kill and obey Jiao Li's orders.

Zhang Fang and Zhao Xi were both very disappointed. As the confidants of the lord, they didn't even know that there was such a force within the lord.

If the situation is not urgent, we don't know when we will be able to recover.

Zhao Xi sighed and said, "Your Majesty is so stubborn. You are playing with fire and getting burned. You thought it would be a good idea to splash the dirty water on the Northern Zhou or the Later Liang, but how easy is that? Those officials are not vegetarians. Once they smell the smell, they will swarm like flies. I am afraid that you have caused a terrible disaster."

Zhang Fang narrowed his eyes and said, "Now that things have come to this, the master's horse has probably already arrived at the Iron Buddha Temple. Brother Zhao, you should hurry up and send someone to keep an eye on the Iron Buddha Temple. If the assassination attempt fails, we may not be able to stay in this manor. We need to make preparations early."

Zhao Xi was shocked and said in panic, "How could those people find out about us so quickly?"

Zhang Fang sighed, "Everything is prepared, and failure to prepare leads to failure! Do you really think that those death warriors recruited by the Lord can survive the torture of the officer?"

Zhao Xi raised his mouth, revealing a pair of yellow teeth: "Something big has happened, something big has happened..."

…

"You have to pay for my Shujin. My Shujin, it's all top quality..."

Chen Chang's face turned red with anger. He angrily shook off the old shopkeeper and said angrily, "How can you be so unreasonable? I didn't want to buy your silk, but you forced me to buy it. Now you are accusing me of burning your silk. Is there any law under this world?"

Seeing the old shopkeeper being "bullied", two employees surrounded him. One of the strong employees grabbed Chen Chang's front and angrily scolded him: "Little boy, you came to our store and burned the fabrics. Do you still want to deny it? If you don't give me an explanation today, you can't leave this store!"

The old shopkeeper controlled Chen Chang and howled at the top of his voice: "Oh, you are just a robber. You have no money but still want to steal sheep from our store. I have been doing business all my life, but I have never seen a robber like you. Neighbors, come and see, I, Dan Songhe, have always been honest to everyone, but I am so old and I have been bullied. Please judge..."

While wailing, he stole a glance at Chunniang beside him. Seeing her nodding at him with a smile, he felt relieved and his voice couldn't help but rise a little.

This store has been open on this street for a long time, and all the merchants nearby are familiar with it. It stands to reason that today's rogue behavior, like that of a shrew, does damage its image, but due to the face of the Lou family, this image does not matter.

Yelling and yelling would make things bigger and louder, and completely vent Chunniang's anger.

Chen Chang had seen many scammers before, but he had never expected the old shopkeeper to do it so blatantly. He really couldn't stand it anymore and said in his heart, "You...you are going too far..."

As soon as the words came out, the strong man squeezed my shoulder and said viciously: "If you know what's good for you, shut up. If you dare to make excuses again, I will break your bones one by one."

This guy was very strong. Chen Chang cried out in pain. He knew in his heart that having his shoulders grabbed was like being put on an iron hoop. If he exerted the slightest force, his whole body would go limp!

At this moment, the door was crowded with people, scrambling to stick their heads out, all to see the excitement.

Shuan was also squeezed into the crowd. Seeing this, he immediately looked at Chunniang with great resentment. Since you have all these people to help you, why do you still need me?

The shopkeeper was exaggerating and accusing Chen Chang of his misdeeds to a group of ignorant people. He pointed at Chen Chang and said, "Everyone, take a good look at this hypocritical man. He actually got greedy for a small piece of cloth. I was lucky to find him in time. He got angry and burned the cloth in the quarrel. He then framed me for it. God knows..."

As the noise was going on here, a 40-year-old man walked into the store like a whirlwind, his big beard was all over his face. He walked quickly in front of Chen Chang and said viciously: "Where did you come from, little brat? You dare to bully my father? Do you think my fists are vegetarian?"

Chen Chang secretly groaned when he saw this, thinking that he was too careless and was tricked by that woman Chunniang. At this time, Chunniang gave him a cold smile and walked out of the door with her fat hips twisted.

It's better to look good than to suffer a loss in front of you. You have to deal with all kinds of people doing business. It's certainly not a good thing to confront this foreign country head-on.

Chen Chang met the big man's gaze and said softly, "Hey, old man, can we have a chat?"

Shan Xiong was obviously stunned. He had seen many books like this before. Most of them were timid and would be frightened out of their wits if he gave them the slightest sign.

"What are you talking about? You ruined my broth, so you must pay for it!"

Shan Xiong recently kept a mistress in the south of the city, and he was a little tight on money. He could take this opportunity to make some money to make up for the loss, so he hurried over after hearing the news from his employee.

Seeing his son coming to help, Shopkeeper Shan was more confident and said with a curled lip: "Hehe, it's easy for you to say that. The pattern of that square flower brocade is flourishing, the texture is delicate, the color is elegant and unique. Just the purchase price is also one of the best. Oh, no, five-fold..."

Shopkeeper Shan was glared at by his son and quickly changed his words.

Chen Chang naturally knew that this offer was no different from stealing money, but he was restricted by his master and had no right to bargain, so he said, "Okay, then I will compensate you with five guan."

As soon as Shan Manager nodded in agreement, Shan Xiong said coldly: "Humph, the purchase price of the five guan at that time, the goods are in short supply in the market now, I am afraid it will be more than eight guan. You don't look like you have a rich family, so I will be kind enough to let you buy one guan and seven guan, and then I will sell the piece of Shujin cloth to you."

Seeing the busy streets and people on the street looking at each other, the Shan family's father was really evil-minded. Although such a piece of cloth was of high quality, it was only worth three or four guan in the market. Moreover, the burnt cloth was only a small piece of cloth, and it would not have much impact after cutting. The father was clearly bullying the book, a foreigner, and was doing a big job.

Even though they felt aggrieved in their hearts, they kept silent at this moment. After all, no one wanted to offend their neighbors who had lived in the same neighborhood for many years just for a stranger.

Seeing Chen Chang's happy agreement, the guy had already let go. Chen Chang flexed his arms and said, "How can this be? I can't take advantage of you. We agreed to keep our promise, so let's keep it. No, no, no..."

Seeing that Chen Chang did not bargain, Shan Xiong thought that he had met a sucker today and regretted that the price he offered was too low. He did not want to say "no" to the book, so he would regret it. How could he do this? He immediately raised his huge fist, frowned and said coldly: "Humph, you are a jerk, you can't even give me a penny!"

Chen Chang hesitated and said, "Of course I can't give you the Eighth Guan. I would like to do you a favor and give you the Second Guan. How about that?"

"Ah?" Shan Xiong's father's jaw dropped to the ground. There must be something wrong with his brain. Not only was he cheated, but he also rushed to give money.

Shan Xiong's eyes rolled, and he was already beaming with joy in his heart. Today's trip was not in vain, as his plan to buy a house and keep a mistress was finally solved.

놛 grabbed Chen Chang's uninjured body and asked excitedly, "Are you serious?"

Chen Chang was strangled by the wrist, and he almost fell to his knees in pain. He hurriedly said, "Of course, it's true, let go, let go quickly!"

"Son..., this..." Shopkeeper Shan looked embarrassed.

Shan Xiong said to the shopkeeper Shan: "Father, please go to the side and have a rest. I will handle this matter."

Dong Dong heard that something happened in the store, but he didn't know the cause and effect. However, his father didn't think so. This was obviously to vent Chun Niang's anger. If Chun Niang knew about this, she would be their partner and would be afraid that Dong Dong would bring bad luck to her.

Shopkeeper Shan hurriedly pulled his son aside and told him the whole story, then added: "Son, this guy doesn't look like the son of a wealthy family. What he said just now was probably meant to delay time..."

Shan Xiong had just been obsessed with money, but after his father's reminder, he calmed down and said with a fierce look in his eyes, "Father, no matter whether our family has money or not, we must pay the Ba Guan. We are not afraid of this matter getting out of hand. At worst, we can ask my cousin to help. He has his own way."

The father and son discussed in a low voice for a moment, and then a young man ran out of the store.

Shan Xiong walked up to Chen Chang again and said, "My dear, let's settle the matter of the fabric first and then talk about it. What do you think?"

Chen Chang smiled cheerfully: "Well, I'll just do as you say."

Shan Xiong stretched out his palm-leaf fan-sized sword and shouted, "Where's the money?"

"I don't bring my servant with me when I go out, so how could I carry so much money?" What Chen Chang said made sense. One Guan's money was not light, and if he went out with two Guan's servants, he would have nothing to do.

I'm not yet rich enough to take my kid out with me.

Shan Xiong was choked back, and swallowed his saliva and said: "Then how can this Eight Principles compensate me?"

Chen Chang laughed: "That's easy. Ask someone to bring paper and pen, and someone will come and give you money!"
