The news that the old man of the Fan family came in person quickly spread throughout Taiping Town.
The skills he showed off at the dock that day had already attracted a lot of business.
As a result, the Fan family secretly spread the word that anyone who dared to contact the Simu Escort Agency would be kicked out of Taiping Town.
As a result, let alone finding an escort agency to transport the items, those who used to treat Chu Mu as a fat sheep no longer had the idea of getting close to him.
Chu Mu was not in a hurry at all. He still had a lot of gold, silver and jewelry obtained from the Zhoujiawu ferry, so he had no worries about food and drink.
Seeing that threats like this didn't work, the Fan family secretly ordered the rice and oil vendors in the town not to sell food to the Simu Escort Agency.
"Damn it! This is too much!" The escort agent clutched the empty rice bag, his face turning blue with anger. "If you don't sell us food, won't we all starve to death?"
The rice shop owner smiled cautiously and said, "Your boss is capable and can make a living even if he leaves Taiping Town. Why does he have to suffer here?"
The rice shop owner's meaning was exactly the same as the Fan family's. The escort agency clerk understood it and turned around and left angrily.
As soon as he disappeared, several businessmen from the rice shop gathered together:
"Do you think the Fan family has a grudge against Mr. Chu?"
"It's hard to say... If they really had a grudge, how could they have survived until now?"
"Hey, could it be that you can't beat him?"
"Hush! How dare you say that? Don't you want to live?"
"From my perspective, there's no room for two tigers in one mountain. Mr. Chu is a powerful dragon, but the Fan family is a local snake."
"I wonder where they'll move to. It would be great if they could move to a nearby town. I'd like to ask them to do a Ghost Dart mission."
…
Everyone thought that Simu Escort Agency would definitely leave Taiping Town this time.
Who would have thought that after hearing the clerk's report, Chu Mu took his men to the rice shop run by the Fan family without saying a word.
What are you doing?
Are you trying to ruin the party?
Of course not.
"The shopkeeper's surname is also Fan, right?" Chu Mu leaned his head over the counter, "Look at our Ah Ji, who does he look like?"
Although the shop owner is from a branch of the Fan family, he still has a lot of face in the Fan family because he does good business and makes a lot of money.
He also has a place at family banquets during festivals and other occasions.
At this moment, he was being gently pressed down by a smiling paper man, and he couldn't even use any strength at all.
"Manager Fan?" The instigator wore a harmless face, but his words were extremely vicious. "Is it inconvenient for you to look up? Or should I tear your head off?"
"...It's convenient for me. It's convenient for me." Shopkeeper Fan raised his head tremblingly, and after only a quick glance at Fan Ji, he was stunned. "Sister Qiuhe?"
Chu Mu heard the answer he wanted and raised his eyebrows happily:
"Shopkeeper Fan really thinks so too... Our Ah Ji is at least 80% similar to his mother, right?"
Qiu He is Fan Ji's biological mother and also the legal wife of the eldest master of the Fan family.
Every time a banquet was held, Qiu He would accompany Uncle Fan to receive guests. Naturally, Shopkeeper Fan had seen this many times.
"Like... no, this, this, this is Sister Qiuhe's son?"
Uncle Fan had five sons in total. The youngest one was said to be born with a yin body and was unable to learn the Fan family's magic. Not long after he was born, he was thrown to be raised by a blind woman in Zhoujiawu.
A few days ago, he also heard from the direct descendants of the Fan family that that waste with a born yin body was so powerful now.
It seems like the old man wants to take the child back.
But for some reason, it seems that we didn't reach an agreement.
"Yes," Chu Mu tilted his head and looked at Shopkeeper Fan. "I remember your Fan family has a rule that all descendants of the Fan family don't need to pay money when entering or leaving your own store, right?"
Shopkeeper Fan realized something and stood up in shock: "You! You, you——"
Chu Mu waved to the escort agency guys behind him and said, "Brothers, thanks to the Fan family, let's empty the shop today."
"have!"
The former bandits, who had recently had enough of the Fan family's bullying, came forward aggressively, not picking or choosing, and took away all the goods they saw.
Shopkeeper Fan leaned out and looked outside, and saw a number of carts parked at the door. Even if he couldn't empty his shop, he could easily take away half of it.
"Oh no, that's impossible," Shopkeeper Fan said anxiously. "These are all for the Imperial Envoy. If you want to take anything, take the outer rice bag."
Chu Mu glanced at him with a half-smile and said loudly: "Brothers, did you hear that? The things in the outer circle are all groceries. Let's pick out the fine goods in the inner circle."
"Yes!"
These people from Simu Escort Agency were actually bandits.
Normally, he was afraid of the Fan family's strange physiognomy, and he would automatically feel half a head shorter when he saw people.
The one who is in charge now is a master who even Mr. Fan can't defeat. All these guys stand up straight and feel very proud.
When it comes to rice and grain, he is not polite at all.
"Oh, I really can't!" Shopkeeper Fan said with a sad face, sweating profusely. "The Imperial Envoy will be here soon. What are we going to do with him?"
He raised his head and looked up at the tall young man: "Master Fan... please persuade the young master..."
"That's fine," Fan Ji said, looking down from above with a murderous intent no less sharp than a weapon. "The Fan family doesn't lack these grains."
"..." Master Fan finally understood that this young master who suddenly appeared was not at all on the side of the Fan family.
The guys in the escort agency work efficiently, especially when it comes to stealing things, they do it quickly and fiercely.
In a short while, the carts at the door were all filled up.
