Chapter 312: Killing Innocent People
Cao Mengyun frowned and patiently explained to Zhou Yunshu again: "Mr. Li, the wealthy people in Nanchuan City will not give..."
Zhou Yunshu interrupted with a smile, "You are just too tolerant of them, so they dare to ignore Big Brother."
Geng Jiang nodded repeatedly, feeling that Zhou Yunshu had spoken to the very heart of his heart.
He had clearly become the master of Nanchuan City, but that group of people didn't give him any face at all.
"If they don't come, ask them to go to the cell and talk."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said to Geng Jiang, "Don't worry, brother. They will come because of my post."
Geng Jiang thought of Zhou Yunshu's identity and felt relieved. Cao Mengyun also shut up.
They didn't give Geng Jiang face because he was a bandit, but Zhou Yunshu was not.
After hearing what Zhou Yunshu said, Geng Jiang was already looking forward to seeing those snobbish people flattering him at night!
"Boss, we still have business to attend to in the city, you see..."
Geng Jiang left his official duties yesterday and went to the Summer Resort. Now, so much time has passed, but his official duties have not been completed.
Now that he was back in the city, Cao Mengyun, a qualified and trusted military advisor, would of course urge Geng Jiang to go back to work.
In addition, Cao Mengyun still wanted to talk to Geng Jiang about Zhou Yunshu again. He always felt that Geng Jiang trusted Zhou Yunshu a little too much now.
If this continues, Cao Mengyun is afraid that Geng Jiang will not only be led by Zhou Yunshu, but even Zhou Yunshu will sell him out. He will happily count the money for Zhou Yunshu to see how much he has been sold for and whether Zhou Yunshu has lost money.
When he thought of this possibility, Cao Mengyun wanted to drag Geng Jiang away immediately.
Zhou Yunshu certainly didn't miss Cao Mengyun's little tricks, but she wasn't worried. Instead, she smiled and joined Cao Mengyun in persuading Geng Jiang, "Uncle Cao is right."
"Brother, please don't delay your official duties because of me. Although this is my first time in Nanchuan City, everyone in the city is yours, so I feel very comfortable."
"How about I leave some more people for you?"
Zhou Yunshu smiled and refused: "No, I'll take people to find an inn to stay."
"Once Uncle Cao has decided on a mansion for the dinner, please send me a message. I'll then send the invitation and go to the mansion to wait for Big Brother."
Geng Jiang thought it was a good idea and said to Zhou Yunshu, "In that case, I'll go back to the government office first. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you in Nanchuan City, just send them to the government office!"
"good."
After Geng Jiang and his group left, Zhou Yunshu looked at the people of Nanchuan City who were observing her silently on both sides of the street, kicked the horse's belly, and continued to move forward with his men.
The inn Zhou Yunshu found was the largest inn in Nanchuan City. After all, luxury was her current personality, so as soon as she entered the inn, Zhou Yunshu spent money to book the inn.
As for the money for renting the inn, it was of course taken from Geng Jiang, the current owner of Nanchuan City.
When Chunque took people to clean up Zhou Yunshu's room, Zhou Yunshu was sitting in the lobby of the inn with Cen Miaoying and Wu Gui.
At the beginning, the innkeeper didn’t know the origins of Zhou Yunshu and her group, but anyone who could enter Nanchuan City at this time was definitely a tough guy.
When the shopkeeper heard the waiter say that Zhou Yunshu and the others were going into the city with Geng Jiang, the fear in his eyes became even stronger.
"The shopkeeper."
Cen Miaoying called the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's face turned visibly pale.
Why would these ancestors go straight to their family's inn? There are so many inns in Nanchuan City!
"Don't be nervous, boss. We are good people."
After Cen Miaoying said this to the shopkeeper, Zhou Yunshu noticed that the shopkeeper's face turned even paler.
Alas, no one believes the truth these days.
"What are your wishes, distinguished guest?"
The shopkeeper stood trembling beside Zhou Yunshu and the others' table, making Zhou Yunshu and the others, who had done nothing, feel as if they were being bullied for no reason.
"We just want to find out something."
After Cen Miaoying finished speaking, Zhou Yunshu said directly to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, why don't you sit down and drink a pot of tea together."
The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly, "Tea is not necessary. If you have any questions, just ask directly. I will tell you everything I know."
Zhou Yunshu reluctantly withdrew her hand and said to the shopkeeper, "We just want to chat with you casually. You don't have to be nervous."
"What would you like to discuss?"
It would be better if we could leave quickly after chatting.
"Let's just talk about what's happening in Nanchuan City. We'll listen to whatever you say."
The shopkeeper pursed his lips. Often, things like this that don't require anything are the most difficult to handle.
Thinking that this group of people came in with Geng Jiang, the shopkeeper did not dare to say anything bad about Geng Jiang and said, "Our Nanchuan City is also in Haizhou..."
The shopkeeper's words were all polite. He kept waiting for Zhou Yunshu and the others to interrupt him, but they seemed to be addicted to listening. No matter how meaningless his words were, they all listened with gusto.
This also made the shopkeeper relax his guard as he spoke, and since Zhou Yunshu and the others were very approachable, he couldn't help but say a few words from the heart.
Zhou Yunshu asked curiously, "The county magistrate has already run away, so why don't you run away too?"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "This business is all in Nanchuan City, where else can we go?"
"People are humble when they leave their hometown. How can it be so easy to make a living outside? Young Master is also from outside. Don't you know about the tragedy that happened in Yuncheng and other places?"
"I've heard about that. Those pirates killed people without blinking an eye. The fate of Yuncheng is no different from a massacre."
The shopkeeper heard Zhou Yunshu's tone, which seemed to be expressing sympathy for the people of Yuncheng, and his impression of her improved a bit. He was also willing to take the initiative to talk to Zhou Yunshu.
"Sir, what do you do? Why are you coming to Nanchuan at this critical moment?"
Of course, the shopkeeper wanted to know what the relationship between Zhou Yunshu and Geng Jiang was.
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said to the shopkeeper, "Do you know the Summer Resort outside Nanchuan City?"
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I heard that it is the property of the Prince of Huainan."
"I came here to do some work for the Prince of Huainan. It just so happened that I ran into Master Geng while I was there, and he invited me to Nanchuan City as his guest, didn't he?"
The shopkeeper heard that Zhou Yunshu was "invited as a guest" and thought that she was forced to come by Geng Jiang.
"How could you be so careless!"
When the shopkeeper heard that Zhou Yunshu was the King of Huainan's man, he was finally not as vigilant as before.
"Now that you've been caught, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Yunshu blinked. The shopkeeper's tone sounded as if he knew she would come.
No, it’s not that he knew she would come, it’s that he knew the King of Huainan’s men would come.
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "No big deal, just wait."
"But he's a bandit who kills without blinking an eye!"
Zhou Yunshu asked in return, "But I've been in Nanchuan City for so long, and I haven't noticed Geng Jiang killing innocent people."
The shopkeeper choked, but continued, "Not killing him now doesn't mean I won't kill him later. It's even more uncomfortable to have the knife hanging over your neck."
"Then you haven't thought of a solution?"
"What can we do?" The shopkeeper thought of Zhou Yunshu's relationship with the King of Huainan, glanced around and whispered, "This is how things are in Haizhou. Although Nanchuan City is now occupied by Geng Jiang, he won't be able to keep it for long."
Zhou Yunshu raised her eyes, "Why?"
The shopkeeper blinked and said, "Aren't you one of the King of Huainan's men?"
"It's common knowledge that His Highness wants Haizhou. Someone in the city has already gone to tip His Highness off. Isn't that why you've come here?"
