"I apologize, esteemed guest. I apologize for the servant's behavior earlier. If you take a liking to this piece of purple silk, our shop can sell it to you at a discount."
The shopkeeper, who looked to be in his early forties, dismissed the waiter and then warmly greeted Liang Hao, personally explaining the uses of the fabrics to him.
"This is purple silk made from top-grade Shu brocade. Wearing clothes made from it will definitely make you look very impressive."
And to be honest, even members of the royal family frequently patronize Bihao, so the price might be a bit high.
"How expensive is it?"
"Hehe, one foot of purple silk costs sixty spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, Liang Hao immediately spread out the silk.
"Sixty spirit stones per foot? This ordinary piece of silk is more expensive than a Xuan-rank spirit robe?"
"It's excellent value for money, sir."
"How exactly does it offer excellent value for money?"
"Because this is a branch of the Xu family of Sichuan and Chongqing, do you think the price is too high, sir?"
Liang Hao shook his head: "It's not expensive."
Bang--
The next second, he raised his hand and decisively delivered a Heavenly Frost Fist, instantly sending the shopkeeper flying.
The loud noise immediately attracted the attention of the other shop assistants and thugs in the silk shop, who rushed over to surround Liang Hao.
"Cough cough—"
The shopkeeper struggled to his feet, wiped the green liquid from the corner of his mouth, and asked in bewilderment, "Why did the customer attack? Was there something wrong with our service?"
When he said this, his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to tear Liang Hao to pieces.
With a single hand, Liang Hao channeled his energy, and the purple silk instantly rolled up into a ball.
"Why am I hitting you? Because I'm hitting a bunch of ants from the depths of hell."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the silk shop was taken aback.
Shop owner: "What do you mean by that, customer?"
"Still pretending?" Liang Hao's lips curled into a smile. "The bloodstains on your lips betray your identity."
"Who exactly are you?"
With their identities exposed, everyone in the silk shop drew their weapons.
"The Trial Committee, Liang Hao."
After speaking, he immediately unleashed a move called "Frost and Snow in Full Bloom".
In an instant, the entire silk shop, including the shopkeepers and the rest of the Nine Nether Karami, was covered in frost and turned into ice sculptures in the blink of an eye.
"snort."
"A bunch of idiots. The most basic rule of a silk shop is that purple silk is a royal forbidden item. Who the hell would put purple silk on the counter for display?"
Your current predicament is entirely due to your own stupidity.
After saying that, Liang Hao decisively headed towards the next Nine Netherworld stronghold...
In less than a day, Liang Hao single-handedly destroyed all nine strongholds in Huayang City with a single punch.
This swift and efficient action instantly attracted the attention of the other hidden agents lurking in the shadows of Huayang.
A secret room in the black market...
"Immediately send someone to the Bashu headquarters to inform the two supreme rulers of the changes in Huayang City."
The members of the Court of Judgment have arrived at the Sanctuary.
Moreover, he's a highly skilled expert; they should send someone to take over immediately.
"yes!"
A dark figure swiftly left the secret room and disappeared in the southwest in the blink of an eye.
On the other hand, nine consecutive cases of family annihilation have also caused widespread panic throughout Huayang City.
The various departments of the Imperial City Guard had no choice but to intervene and launch an investigation, claiming that it was to appease the public.
But in reality, these nine family annihilation cases have far-reaching implications.
Because behind these nine strongholds are the shadows of the Xu family of Bashu and the Dong family of Xiliang, if they use this as an excuse to launch an attack, the Great Feng court could fall into an abyss at any time.
As a direct agency of the royal family, the Zhenfu Division had no choice but to thoroughly investigate the case and find the culprit within a month.
While Zhang Shuye was frantically investigating the scene and searching for clues, the mastermind Shen Zhao was standing outside the Yupinxuan restaurant.
"Yu Pin Xuan, Yu Xuanji? For some reason, I always feel a strange sense of familiarity when I hear this name."
With a gentle wave of his feather fan, Shen Zhao never stepped into the brothel, seemingly waiting for someone.
"Brother, the matter is settled."
Disguised as a fur merchant, Liang Hao, with a tiger skin slung over his shoulder, took the initiative to approach Shen Zhao.
"Good job, you did very well."
"But brother, I still don't understand. With such a commotion at this time, Jiuyou must have already become alerted."
With officials from all over the capital now involved, could this cause unforeseen problems for our plans?
"Isn't this exactly the result we wanted?"
Shen Zhao covered one side of his face with a feather fan.
"Only by mobilizing the entire imperial city can we expose the ugly true colors of all those demons and monsters hiding in the shadows."
After a moment's thought, Liang Hao immediately replied, "I understand. Brother's move may seem absurd, but it's actually muddying the waters."
Let them fight each other to the death, and we can profit from it.
"You're finally not just a pretentious playboy anymore," Shen Zhao praised. "The moment you started using your brain to think about problems, the word 'idiot' was no longer associated with you."
"Big brother," Liang Hao said with a displeased expression, "I don't care if you change your identity."
But you don't have to be so enigmatic. Just that one sentence—I couldn't tell if you were praising me or insulting me.
Shen Zhao: "An identity, a life, even if it's only temporary."
I will also try my best to play this role well, even if the roles are reversed.
If one's habits and actions remain the same as their original self, then what is the purpose of this identity?
Liang Hao nodded: "Brother's words are quite profound. I will definitely ponder them carefully later."
Then he glanced at Yu Pin Xuan and said, "Brother, do you want to go in and have some fun?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the feather fan slapped him directly on the head.
"I'm afraid Yunying will make me kneel on a washboard and sleep on the floor, haha..."
