Chapter 425: Beauty changes into red clothes and comes to the door
There were five eighth-rank martial arts masters who were somewhat famous in the martial arts world, plus dozens of fourth- and fifth-rank fighters.
This was someone the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce spent a huge amount of money to recruit.
Especially those eighth-rank warriors, who almost emptied the entire Xiayi Chamber of Commerce's three to four years of revenue, and also had many beauties, rare jewels, and so on.
Although the cost is high, this is also the confidence of the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce to run rampant.
After all, with this lineup, some small sects in the world may not dare to provoke the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce.
But it was enough to see how determined the shopkeepers of Xiayi Chamber of Commerce were to capture the woman in broad daylight by sending out such a lineup.
Chu He, the head manager of the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce, is an old man who has reached the age of forty. He used to be a bandit, and later joined the Ouyang Mansion as a security guard. He was efficient and meticulous in his work, so he came out alone to run the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce.
Now
This fat man, who was considered a dog in the Ouyang family but was the high and mighty chief of the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce outside, held a covered bowl in his hand, gently used the lid to slide the foam on the surface of the tea, took a sip and said, "Almost, it's done."
When Chu Meng, the second shopkeeper of Xiayi Chamber of Commerce, heard his elder brother speak, he immediately swallowed the snack in his mouth, glanced at the sky outside, and then said, "It's about time. After all, no matter how powerful he is, the people we sent out are enough."
Chu He nodded and looked at the swordsman who was sitting on the other side with his eyes closed. "Senior Zhu, what happened tonight is not a big deal. Those people are enough to do it. But the matter of the King Tea Tree requires your help. Although many of the Cui family's invited guests have left, there is still an old man guarding it."
Senior Zhu was wearing a long robe, with a knife on the table beside him. "No problem. Although Qingyang Jian is famous, he is just an old man in his eighties after all. It's easy to kill him."
Hearing this, the equally fat young man who had been sitting on the side without saying anything laughed and immediately said, "We broke the hands of the Cui family's shopkeeper, and no one in the Cui family is good at making tea anymore. Liu Ji did this today, which is obviously to help the Cui family find someone who is good at making tea, so that they can compete with us when we have a tea contest tomorrow. The woman who appeared today must have been visited by Liu Ji and Cui Zhen, but thanks to the seniors for helping us recruit these martial arts masters, the woman and her group must be our prisoners, so we have to thank the seniors for this matter."
As he spoke, the fifth manager of the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce stood up and saluted towards Senior Zhu.
Senior Zhu glanced at them and said, "You pay the money and we do the work. It's just the rules of the martial arts world. Manager Zhang, don't be polite. But the Qingyang Sword has been famous for a long time. Although it's easy to kill him, the price for me to use the sword is several times that of these people. Don't forget this."
Hearing this, Chu He immediately said, "Don't worry, Senior Zhu, the money is ready, just draw your knife."
Senior Zhu said nothing, but stood up and clasped his fists towards Chu He: "In that case, I will go back first. My people will go to the inn, and the shopkeeper will wait. However, I heard that the lady is extremely beautiful. When she comes, please let me see her first, and you can do whatever you want after that."
Several people present were grinning.
Chu He even said: "Of course it should be like this."
I wish that Senior would turn around and leave.
The three people in the lobby stopped talking and waited for a moment, making sure that Senior Zhu had completely gone away.
Bang!
Chu Meng slammed the table and looked at Chu He: "Damn it, big brother, have you invited an ancestor back? Why don't you tell Master Ouyang and send a few experts over to let him see that we don't need any more people, and then let him think about himself!"
The fifth shopkeeper looked outside and said, "Second brother, keep your voice down. Although this old man is greedy and lustful, and pretends to be serious, he is at least a ninth-rank master. He might be able to hear you."
The second shopkeeper clenched his fists.
Chu He spoke up, "The old master is going to celebrate his 88th birthday soon. It is important for us to take down the Tea King Tree and Cui's Tea House as birthday gifts for the old master. As for what this man wants, just give it to him. After we have the final say over the tea business in Chenzhou, this money is just a drop in the bucket. Why are we calculating such small accounts here? How is the third brother? Hasn't he woken up yet?"
The fifth shopkeeper nodded immediately: "The doctor said that several bones in the chest were broken, and the right side of the face was also broken. That woman was too cruel! When we catch her back, we must avenge Third Brother no matter what!"
Chu He asked, "Have you checked his background? Are you sure he is from Jianghu?"
Chu Meng nodded: "They are from the underworld, I don't know where they are from, but there are several people in the group, all of them are beautiful women, and the old man should be the driver, he is nothing, just staring at the girls on the street, and the other man is just an attendant, nothing."
Chu Meng continued, "However, no matter what they are, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Even if it is a dragon, if it comes to our Chenzhou City, it must coil up for us. If it is a tiger, it must lie down for us!"
The fifth shopkeeper spoke up, "Liu Ji kept refusing to pay when I took people there this afternoon. Damn it, my third brother got screwed by him. How can this have nothing to do with him? Even if it has nothing to do with him, it has to be related! He has been following behind the Cui family, relying on the fact that he was a disciple of Yang Guofu. Now it's time. The Yang family is already dead, but he is still acting so arrogantly. Big brother, if you ask me, we should take over the Liu Tea House tonight. When it's over tomorrow, the Cui family and the Liu family will be gone. How dare those remaining lackeys follow us? Chenzhou Tea House will all belong to us. We should present it to the old man on his birthday. That's a real gift!"
Chu Meng laughed and scolded, "You bastard, don't you think Zhao Yulang is a human being? He is now the prefect of Jiangling in Yangzhou! Yang Shanchang is still here, and the old man told us not to provoke Zhao Yulang, have you forgotten?"
The fifth shopkeeper frowned and said, "Zhao Yulang, I don't know what the old man is thinking. He came alone and just killed him. Yang Shanchang is no longer capable. Can he still suppress our old man?"
Chu He said, "Yang Shanchang is no longer able to do so, but the emperor is still here. The emperor personally helped the young master pass the imperial examination before. However, we have no right to interfere in these court affairs, let alone those of us who are the vanguards. We are responsible for the business world, so don't talk about other things in the future. As for Liu Ji, we really need to give him a warning, otherwise even if Cui's Tea House is gone, he will still be a thorn in our side."
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Shopkeeper slapped the table and stood up and said, "Brother, what do you say? I'll do it myself! But let's make it clear, that little girl is so pretty, I'll leave her for a while before I kill her. I'm going to give Third..."
At this point, seeing Chu He waving his hand, the Fifth Shopkeeper chuckled.
Chu He said, "Don't worry. The girls with that little girl are all very pretty, so we'll have fun. Besides, the inn is just opposite Liu's Tea House. With so much noise, Liu Ji will definitely hear it. If we succeed, he'll be the one who'll be anxious."
Chu Meng smiled and said, "Maybe he is anxious right now! After all, the hope that he finally grasped is about to be gone."
The fifth shopkeeper laughed out loud.
Chu He picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, then looked outside the lobby.
You, Cui Zhen and Liu Ji, want to turn the tables?
Humph!
Any strategies or plans are just jokes in front of power!
It's a great way to shoot oneself in the foot!
But thanks to you, after tonight, this Chenzhou City Tea Shop will belong to our Xiayi Chamber of Commerce!
…
Inside Fusheng Inn, some people were indeed anxious.
But it was Old Man Luo Changfeng.
At that moment, in the backyard of the inn, Mr. Luo was full of emotion, muttering: "Damn it, why didn't he take the initiative?! I missed the opportunity to be a lackey!"
Thinking of this, Luo Changfeng glanced at the corpses that had been cleaned up and covered with cloth, shook his head, and sighed again.
But when he glanced at one of the corpses, the old man was shocked. What kind of boxing did Yan Yunxiao teach the empress? It was too cruel. The empress had such a good image. It would have been great if she could teach her some beautiful boxing moves. It scared people!
I am still the best. I can teach you how to use a knife. Each and every cut is so cool!
When I get to the sword-waving conference, who knows how many girls will admire me!
Thinking of this, Luo Changfeng glanced at the children not far away, especially the girl, looking at the cotton cloth stuffed in the girl's nose.
Luo Changfeng, who had seen through everything, couldn't help but smile. He was so handsome that he could make the girl bleed from the nose. Otherwise, he must be the successor that I, an old man, fell in love with at first sight!
The charm is great!
Retracting his gaze, Luo Changfeng noticed that Liu Ji, the shopkeeper Liu, and others were still looking surprised.
On the road of martial arts, there is no shortage of encountering all kinds of things, and it is these various things, twists and turns, that make up the martial arts world in everyone's heart.
So when this happened today, Luo Changfeng was not surprised at all.
It would be strange if nothing happened until the Sword-waving Conference. After all, with the looks of Your Majesty, there will inevitably be some blind scoundrels who will say a few words to you.
Standing next to Liu Ji was a handsome man, who was Cui Zhen, the owner of Cui's Tea House. The two men noticed that the old man was looking at them and bowed to him.
then
Liu Ji looked at the piled-up corpses again and took a breath.
At that moment, the corpses were being cleaned up by government officials.
It was naturally him who found the constable. After all, even if the shopkeepers of the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce had connections with the Chenzhou government office, they were not without connections. He was capable of calling someone and making up a reason to get the constable to leave.
However, these officers were just going through the motions, but in fact they were called by Liu Ji earlier, wanting to help protect Su Changan and the others.
Watching the officers cleaning up the corpses, Liu Ji pursed his lips, feeling a little disgusted.
Any normal person would behave like this when seeing so many corpses!
Can.
When Liu Ji thought that there were several eighth-rank masters among those corpses, he was shocked again. He was surprised that the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce would actually send out an eighth-rank master, but he was even more surprised that he was dead after he arrived.
He thought that people from the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce would definitely attempt an assassination tonight, so he came to the inn in the afternoon and told Su Changan and the others again.
But Su Changan didn't care, and there was nothing he could do.
So he had to find Cui Zhen to find some good players, and even asked the government officials to come over, hoping to help. After all, he was still thinking of asking the lady to help them with the tea competition tomorrow! That hand of [Tea Hundred Plays] would definitely win!
Therefore, in order to prevent himself and others from being forced to leave the country by the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce, he had to protect this lady at all costs. Even if he could not defeat those people from the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce, with the officials present, would they dare to arrest and kill people?
Only in this way can we stop the momentum of Xiayi Chamber of Commerce.
But when they heard the noise and came over, they found corpses all over the ground.
And that lady was covered in blood, together with her wife.
At this moment, Liu Ji also understood why this lady didn't care at all, and he also understood that this lady was probably not an ordinary person in the world!
But before he could say anything more to Choi Jin
After changing her clothes, the lady said she was going to the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce, and left the government affairs to Liu Ji and Cui Zhen.
Obviously, I and others didn't say anything.
But unfortunately.
It's like that person knows everything.
And you have to go directly to Xiayi Chamber of Commerce.
He didn't even give Liu Ji and Cui Zhen a chance to stop him.
"Manager Liu, I will handle tonight's incident as if it were bandits breaking into the city to rob the Fusheng Inn. What do you think?" The team leader saw that it was almost done, so he had all the bodies loaded onto the cart and walked up to Liu Ji.
Liu Ji immediately took out a heavy ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into the squad leader's hand: "Thank you for your help. Please have some tea with these, brothers."
The foreman accepted it calmly, and then said, "Thank you, Manager Liu and Manager Cui. I will go back and report to you. However."
As he said that, the squad leader glanced at Luo Changfeng and Zhou Qianhong and said, "It's better not to make too much trouble, otherwise it will be difficult for my master to control him."
Manager Liu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes, yes. Please ask the foreman to tell the prefect that Brother Cui and I will come to thank you another day."
The squad leader clasped his fists, feeling satisfied, and left.
The prefect of Chenzhou City is a good peacemaker. He doesn't want to offend either side, and he doesn't help either side. Anyway, the only thing he wants is not to make a big fuss. As long as there are deaths or something, and not too many civilians are hurt, that's all that matters.
The squad leader had also been given instructions, otherwise so many people would have died and it would not have been handled so casually.
They don't bother to care about the affairs of the underworld. They just need to give face to the winner. They can also get benefits, so why not do it.
Luo Changfeng looked at the officials and runners who were leaving, smiled and looked at Zhou Qianhong: "Girl."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qianhong immediately walked up to Luo Changfeng.
Luo Changfeng lowered his voice and said, "This prefect of Chenzhou has reached the end of his career, right?"
Zhou Qianhong understood what Luo Changfeng meant, and then said, "I don't know, but His Majesty didn't look very good just now. I guess he has done his best."
Luo Changfeng smiled.
The underworld has its own rules, and the court has its own rules.
So many people died, which was already a taboo, but your court people didn't do anything about it, and didn't even ask the reason. It would be strange if they didn't get punished!
No wonder this petty-minded emperor made this trip in person.
While Luo Changfeng was feeling this way, Liu Ji and Cui Zhen also came to Luo Changfeng.
"My dear old man, the government has already taken care of it. The lady and her lover will go directly to the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce."
Liu Ji hasn't finished yet.
Luo Changfeng smiled and said, "After you're done, help the innkeeper say hello and apologize, and then go back. Since my wife told you to focus on selling and making tea, just do these things and don't think too much about other things."
Liu Ji and Cui Zhen heard this and looked at each other.
Cui Zhen bowed to Luo Changfeng and said, "Old Master, we know that lady is a very capable person. I just want to ask that lady to participate in the tea contest tomorrow. You can set any conditions. All you need is tea leaves from the King of Tea Trees that are one year old. No, three years old."
Luo Changfeng was amused when he heard this, and then said, "Why are you so stupid? My wife has gone there, which means that the tea contest of yours will not exist tomorrow. Just do your business well. After tomorrow, the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce will probably be gone, so just do your own business. Besides, ever since those people sent people here to kill people... no, it was my wife who is really in charge who got angry during the day, this matter has nothing to do with you. Go back and do what you need to do."
After saying that, Luo Changfeng stood up, turned around and walked towards Pei Lingqiao.
It would be more interesting to tease the little girl who was bleeding from the nose just by watching her queen than to tell these things to these two grown men.
Liu Ji and Cui Zhen saw this and wanted to say something.
Zhou Qianhong said, "Please go back, you two are businessmen, just do your own thing and don't worry about other things."
Liu Ji and Cui Zhen looked at each other, but when they saw the woman also turned and left, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Liu Ji whispered, "How about going to my place first and waiting? Then have someone go check on the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce."
Cui Zhen thought about it and nodded.
But what the two of them were thinking about was the sentence 'Xiayi Chamber of Commerce no longer exists'.
Could it be that the lady wanted to kill all the shopkeepers of Xiayi Chamber of Commerce?
If this really happens, people from the Ouyang family will be involved.
Moreover, in that Chamber of Commerce, there is Zhu Chuli, who possesses the ninth-grade [Thunder Blade]!
Even if he could kill an eighth-rank person, a ninth-rank person
Can you kill him?
Or was that lady also of the ninth rank? Or even the legendary ultimate?
But, is it possible?
…
Inside the mansion where the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce is located.
The three shopkeepers of Xiayi Chamber of Commerce were still waiting in the lobby for news.
Just outside the mansion.
Su Changan has changed into a new set of clothes, a red one.
But at that moment, Su Changan looked at his young wife, feeling both amused and helpless.
Xia Fengxiang was right beside Su Changan. He turned around and looked at Su Changan and said with a smile, "What are you looking at? I'm not bleeding from my nose. I don't need you to wipe it for me."
Su Changan continued to laugh and cry, ""
"Stop! If you don't know where you are, just go inside!"
At this moment, the servant at the gate of the house saw that these people were about to enter the house and immediately stopped them.
But this is the end of the story
Bang!
Li Xizhi kicked the servant away: "Shut up! Can't you see that my master is unhappy!"
Then, he smiled and made way for Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang.
A great master of the realm, like this
Very bootlicker!
