Chapter 291 Nothing to fear
Looking at the steward who rushed in from outside the door, Shangguan Jue's face looked very unhappy.
These people are becoming more and more unruly.
No rules, no order!
It seems that after the funeral, the Shangguan family needs to clean up.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Jue stared gloomily at the steward Li Guangsheng who had just rushed in:
"Li Guangsheng, I'm telling you, you'd better have something important to do. Otherwise, with your reckless nature, you'll probably be carried away from here today."
Shangguan Jue was filled with anger, so when he spoke at this moment, he was naturally extremely furious.
In particular, he saw Chen Fengqing standing beside him looking at him with a half-smile.
He was even more angry!
Now that Chen Fengqing has the upper hand on him, if he wants to settle this matter, he will probably have to pay a heavy price.
After today, Chen Fengqing's appetite is probably getting bigger!
And here are Xu Wuyan and his wife...
A dark light flashed in Shangguan Jue's eyes. They must die!
Li Guangsheng, who rushed over, happened to see Shangguan Jue's almost cannibalistic eyes and couldn't help but shudder.
He lowered his head quickly, "Master, something happened.
The Shangguan family's business was suddenly hit today, and all kinds of goods suffered heavy losses. In addition..."
Li Guangsheng hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said, "There's also an accident at the salt mine."
When he said the last sentence, his voice was very low, and only he and Shangguan Jue could hear it.
These words made Shangguan Jue's face change drastically, and his face was ferocious:
"What did you say!
Tell me clearly what happened over there!"
Shangguan Jue's face was a little distorted.
The Shangguan family’s house can be burned down and their business can be lost, but nothing can happen to the salt mine.
This is the foundation of the Shangguan family.
Li Guangsheng shuddered and lowered his head again:
“I don’t know exactly what happened, but I’m sure something happened.
We had originally agreed to deliver the goods at 3 p.m., but they have not been delivered till now.
This has never happened before.
And I received news that there was a riot over there and many people died.
That’s why I suspected something was wrong.”
Li Guangsheng raised his head cautiously, but when he saw Shangguan Jue's expression, he quickly lowered his head:
"Master, don't worry.
I have already arranged for someone to investigate this matter, and there will be news soon."
Shangguan Jue didn't say anything.
He just stared into the distance with gloomy eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Chen Fengqing, who was standing by, saw that there was nothing to watch and prepared to leave.
And at this moment!
A sharp, piercing scream came from the backyard.
Shangguan Jue was stunned.
He recognized the scream as his wife's and guessed that something might have happened, so he rushed towards the backyard without saying a word.
The people from the Shangguan family hesitated for a moment and then followed.
Now any slight disturbance in the Shangguan family could be a big deal.
Chen Fengqing originally wanted to leave, but if he didn't watch the fun, he would be a bastard, so he turned around and followed.
When they arrived, they found out that the warehouse of Young Master Shangguan's wife had been looted.
Looking at the empty warehouse, everyone was stunned.
There was an incredible expression on their faces.
How could such a good warehouse be empty?
As if they thought of something, the next second Li and others quickly turned around and ran towards their own yard.
Immediately afterwards, shrill screams were heard all around.
"Ahhh! My dowry!"
"It's gone, everything is gone!"
…
All the warehouses of the Shangguan family were looted!
Shangguan Jue's eyes widened.
His eyes were filled with disbelief, how could this be possible!
He didn't want to believe it, but the empty warehouse in front of him forced him to believe that his Shangguan family had really been looted!
And what was stolen was not just one or two taels of silver, but all of it!
This... who has such a great ability?
Chen Fengqing, who was standing by, looked at the empty warehouse and couldn't help but narrow his eyes!
So the Shangguan family is just an empty shell now?
The kind that doesn't have a penny?
If that's the case, he'll have to reconsider!
Just as everyone was stunned, an officer came running over in a hurry.
"My lord, something's happened. A fight broke out on Tiger Roar Mountain, sixty miles from here. Many people have died. Take people there to take a look! If our people don't stop it, I'm afraid it will get out of hand!"
"What?" Chen Fengqing's face changed drastically, and he turned around and walked outside in a hurry.
When Shangguan Jue, who was not far away, heard the three words "Tiger Roaring Mountain", his body shook uncontrollably.
Tiger Roar Mountain!
Armed fight!
That……
"Master Chen, you can't leave!" Shangguan Jue's wife rushed out to stop Chen Fengqing:
"If you leave, who will catch this thief and get my silver back?"
Her eyes were a little red.
The things in her warehouse were his dowry and the capital for her to gain a foothold in the Shangguan family.
If all these things are gone, how will she gain a foothold in the Shangguan family in the future?
Chen Fengqing looked impatient. "If your money is missing, then go find it. There are so many people in the Shangguan family, it's impossible that they can't find it.
Also, your case is just a small matter, but someone died over at Tiger Roar Mountain, and that’s a matter of life and death!”
After saying that, he had someone take her away, and he left in a hurry.
"No!"
Shangguan Jue's wife lost her balance and fell to the ground.
And she also burst into tears.
At this time, Li and others rushed back with pale faces.
"Shangguan Jue, my house has been robbed. Everything in my warehouse is gone. Hurry up and bring people to retrieve it!"
"Mine too, all mine are gone!"
"Woo woo, my dowry, you have to get my dowry back to me!"
…
Shangguan Jue was extremely panicked.
Without saying a word, he pushed away the women surrounding him and wanted to go out.
But how could Li and others let him go? They demanded that he give them an explanation.
Their men have died, so they can't have less money.
Just as they were arguing, Li Guangsheng rushed in again:
"Master, something really happened at Tiger Roar Mountain!"
…
Just when the Shangguan family was in chaos, Lin Mo and Xu Wuyan were already walking slowly towards the post station.
By this time it was already dark.
The moon was hidden in the clouds, so the surroundings were not very clear.
The two did not speak, but enjoyed this rare quiet moment.
Xu Wuyan glanced at Lin Mo beside him and could tell that she was in a good mood.
"Are you happy?" Xu Wuyan's lips curled slightly, "Because of Zhou Yuxuan?"
"You figured it out?" Lin Mo wasn't surprised at all that he could guess:
"I'm quite happy, but I don't know if I can kill Zhou Yuxuan this time."
Speaking of this, a hint of depression flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.
She just couldn't kill Zhou Yuxuan, so Zhou Yuxuan could jump around in front of her like an indestructible cockroach.
Look at all the good things she has done.
If she doesn't die, I will be in endless trouble!
I was able to escape unscathed this time, but I don’t know if I’ll be so lucky next time!
Now Zhou Yuxuan has been imprisoned, but she cannot be 100% sure that Zhou Yuxuan will die!
Zhou Yuxuan, who came back from the dead, is even more weird than her!
Xu Wuyan always knew that she was worried that Zhou Yuxuan would not die, but he did not say it.
Because he had prepared a big gift for Zhou Yuxuan.
Just wait for the news.
A cold light flashed in Xu Wuyan's eyes, and then he shook his head, "Don't worry, we'll figure it out when the time comes. There's no point in thinking too much now!"
Lin Mo thought about it and turned to look at Xu Wuyan, "Tell me the truth, you stopped me several times today. Are you hiding something from me?"
Xu Wuyan nodded, “After Shangguan Xi sent someone to look for you and me, I sent someone to look for Qi Shaojie.
Qi Shaojie sent me a message asking me to hold back the Shangguan family.
I guess Qi Shaojie has already taken action."
No wonder!
Lin Mo suddenly realized.
She asked why Old Xu was so interested in watching the show today.
Whenever he encountered such a situation, he had only one goal: to resolve it quickly.
I will never waste time talking to you about things that can be solved with my fists.
There was nothing he said that couldn't be solved with just one punch.
If one punch doesn’t work, then use two.
"Has he solved the problem?" Lin Mo was curious.
Xu Wuyan shrugged, "I don't know, I haven't asked them yet."
Then he turned his head to look at Xu Ping'an, "What's the situation with Qi Shaojie now?"
Xu Pingan came over and said, "Everything went well.
Qi Shaojie has successfully taken over all of the Shangguan family's businesses in Heifeng Town. He also led his men to the Shangguan family's salt mine.
I just received news from Xu Feng that the salt mine has been taken over by Qi Shaojie, but Qi Shaojie also paid a heavy price."
Xu Wuyan chuckled, "It seems that the Qi family has long been eyeing the Shangguan family's business, otherwise they wouldn't have acted so swiftly.
He wants to take over the Shangguan family's business, how can he do that without paying a price? After all, the salt mine is the lifeblood of the Shangguan family!"
It seems that Shangguan Jue has no time to cause trouble.
Even if Chen Fengqing didn't arrest him, this ruined business would give him a headache for a long time.
Lin Mo nodded in agreement.
At the same time, I let out a breath of foul air, and it was all right!
Shangguan family, no wonder!
