Zhang Qiyue and his party came to Jiuyu Lane in two horse-drawn carriages.
After getting off the carriage, she pointed to a row of five closed shops and said, "This is it... I heard that quite a few people have submitted letters of intent to the government. I'm afraid the price will be quite high, but the location is great. Take a look and see if you like it."
Nangong Piaoxue knew nothing about business, and Xu Xinyan knew even less. Although Susu had studied with Dong Shulan for a while, she didn't dare to make her own decisions.
The five beautiful women standing in this old rain alley immediately attracted a lot of attention.
But Nangong Piaoxue and the other two looked at Zhang Peier.
Zhang Pei'er was stunned. What were you looking at me for?
I, I am now a man of the world, the kind with a badge.
She glanced at the five shops, walked over, measured the width of the shops with her feet, and turned her head to look around - the five shops were in the middle of the Old Rain Alley, with a gold shop on the left, a rouge and powder shop on the right, and a row of silk shops opposite.
It seems that the goods sold in this place are all valuable items, and its status is comparable to Qingluan Alley in Jinling.
However, about 30% of the shops in this long old rain alley are closed. Although there are still some pedestrians coming and going, it seems that not many people go into a shop to buy things.
This is naturally because the population of Wofeng City is still too small, and those closed shops are probably left behind by the merchants who left Wofeng City and returned to Yi Country.
"If you follow my advice, it would be best if you could take over all five shops. After all, he has a lot of business." Zhang Pei'er seemed to have returned to her shrewd appearance when she was in Linjiang. She said this to Xu Xinyan and the other two.
Xu Xinyan didn't think about anything else but the money. "I wonder how much money this will cost?"
"In the past, the price of this shop was roughly around 10,000 taels of silver," Zhang Qiyue said.
Su Su thought about it and said, "That's still a lot cheaper than the price in Qingluan Alley."
Just as the five women were discussing the shop, Young Master Chang Kuan came over with ten servants and five young men from other merchant families.
His eyes suddenly lit up - Wow, hahahaha, there's such a beautiful girl in this shabby place?!
I went to Piaoxiangyuan yesterday and thought the girls there were pretty good. But now, compared to them, the girls there are not even worthy of carrying shoes for these five women!
So, he walked up, folded the folding fan in his hand, and bowed: "Ladies, my name is Chang Kuan. Could you please go to Shuiyun Tower for a drink?"
This person might be sick!
Zhang Pei'er frowned slightly, ignored him, and said to Xu Xinyan, "Sister, how about we go back and figure out how much silver it would cost to buy it?"
Chang Kuan heard this and said, "Oh, ladies, you also want to buy a shop here? Haha, to be honest with you five ladies, I have already submitted letters of intent for these five shops. I'm afraid you don't have a chance..."
Su Su's eyes widened, and she was about to lose her temper. Xu Xinyan tugged at Su Su's sleeve and said, "Let's go. Let's go back."
"Hey, hey, hey, ladies, please stay. How about this? If the five of you accompany me for a drink, I'll buy these five shops and then give one to you at the original price. How about that?"
Zhang Qiyue thought that this guy must be tired of living!
She didn't want to cause any trouble, so she also said, "Let's go."
Chang Kuan took a look and thought that these five women were all former barbarians. I am the eldest son of a wealthy merchant family in the Yu Dynasty, and you guys are ungrateful for giving me face!
At this moment, his ten servants blocked the way of Xu Xinyan and the other four people, and the other four men who looked like young masters also walked over with grins on their faces.
One of the young men in white said, "You're being a bit ungrateful. What kind of person is Young Master Chang? Inviting you for a drink is a sign of respect. It's not nice to be so shameless!"
The other three also joined in with laughter, their words becoming increasingly harsh, while Chang Kuan walked over in square steps.
More and more people gathered around, and he suddenly stretched out a hand, wanting to pinch Su Su's face...
Su Su went berserk in an instant. Her big eyes widened suddenly, and she was about to raise her leg to kick the blind Chang Kuan, but unexpectedly, Chang Kuan's hand suddenly stopped in the air.
Then Su Su saw a young man whom she had met in Wu Dynasty——
Zhuo Donglai grabbed Chang Kuan's hand!
Chang Kuan suddenly felt a pain in his wrist, "Who the hell is so bold..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuo Donglai waved his hand and Chang Kuan flew up into the air.
“Ah… Help…!”
As he screamed, he heard a "Puff!" sound, and Chang Kuan's body fell to the ground several feet away, with stars in his eyes.
His ten servants turned pale with fear, "Master...!"
Three of the servants ran towards Chang Kuan, and the remaining seven rushed towards Zhuo Donglai fiercely.
“Bang bang bang… Puff puff puff…”
These servants were just ordinary people, but they were strong and powerful. How could they be a match for Zhuo Donglai? They were all thrown out by Zhuo Donglai. At this moment, Zhuo Donglai bowed to Nangong Piaoxue and others:
"I never thought you'd be here before me."
Nangong Piaoxue returned the greeting and said with a smile, "His Highness said...you guys are a little late."
Zhuo Donglai blushed and said, "I looked around more on the way."
"What did you see?"
"Your Highness, this is remarkable."
Nangong Piaoxue was even more delighted, "You rarely speak so highly of someone."
Zhuo Donglai shook his head and said, "That was because I was young and ignorant."
As the two were talking, Chang Kuan had already climbed up from the ground. He wiped the blood from his mouth, stared at Zhuo Donglai's back fiercely, and suddenly stretched out a hand, in which he actually held a flintlock rifle!
"All of you go to hell!"
Su Su frowned slightly, took out her gun at this moment, and fired without hesitation.
"Bang……!"
With a gunshot, Chang Kuan fell to the ground.
At the same time, the sound of the gunshot shocked all the onlookers in Jiuyu Alley.
Zhuo Donglai turned around and looked over, but Su Su had already walked to Chang Kuan with a gun in hand, stepped on Chang Kuan's wrist, and bent down to pick up the gun.
The shot was a bit hasty and hit Chang Kuan's left abdomen, but he did not die.
Just as Su Su was about to fire a second shot at Chang Kuan, Xu Xinyan arrived. She tugged at Su Su's sleeve and shook her head imperceptibly.
Chang Kuan clutched his abdomen and howled, "Ah...you, you all must die! I'm going to tell Earl Ding'an that you will all die without a burial place!"
Su Su raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly, then pushed hard with her feet, and Chang Kuan immediately let out a pig-slaughtering howl.
"Let's go."
"Well, one of his hands was crippled."
Qiao Chushi, the son of Mr. Qiao Liu, was also watching in the crowd. He glanced at Zhang Qiyue's back, suddenly smiled, and said to the servant beside him, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Take my invitation and invite a few people to get together."
