Chapter Eighteen: Across the Lines
"My family has been in business for generations. I didn't want to just inherit the ancestral business and stick to the old rules, so I brought people to Xichu to do business, thinking that I could make a breakthrough. But I didn't expect that not long after I arrived in Xichu, a maidservant disappeared from my family.
The maid came to Xichu with me, and she wanted to see her alive and her body when she died. Unfortunately, after I reported it to the government, the government never found her, so I had to look for it myself, and then I found that many girls were missing.
, and slowly found out about this small vendor.
Today I was preparing to catch this small vendor, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, he was bumped into by two girls. If it weren't for the two girls, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have found this guy. I had already killed him just now.
After being escorted to the government office, we are waiting for the government to hear the news."
After Gu Shiqi finished speaking, he drank a cup of tea directly. He looked really tired just now.
"Master Gu came to Xichu to do business?" Lian Zhi's question was very meaningful, and Wen Yunxi also looked at Gu Shiqi.
Gu Shiqi was good-looking and had an outstanding temperament. He didn't look like a businessman at all, but like a young master from an aristocratic family. Gu Shiqi laughed out loud when he heard this: "Miss Lin's eyes are really good. My coming to Xichu to do business is secondary, but mainly
It is still to make a career in politics. My Gu family has been in business for generations. If I can enter politics, the Gu family will have someone to rely on in the future."
"Young Master Gu is still sincere." Lian Zhi didn't know whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.
Gu Shiqing smiled and said: "But you two girls should be careful when going out. Don't just follow strangers, otherwise you don't know what will happen next time."
"Did you hear that? Don't leave with strangers casually in the future." Lian Zhi warned Wen Yunxi. Wen Yunxi nodded: "I know, I admit my mistake. I was wrong this time."
Lian Zhi and Wen Yunxi concealed their identities from Gu Shiqi. They only said that they were sisters and both had the surname Lin. Therefore, Gu Shiqi called Lian Zhi Lin and Wen Yunxi Xiao Lin.
"Miss Xiao Lin, you are easy to deceive, but you still have to be a bit cautious outside." Gu Shiqi said.
Wen Yunxi glanced at him: "I usually don't see these people at all."
Lian Zhi heard Wen Yunxi's words and pushed her wrist. Wen Yunxi realized that she had made a mistake, but looking at Shi Qi's normal appearance, she didn't seem to hear anything inappropriate in Wen Miqing's words.
"What do you think of Xichu after Mr. Gu came to Xichu?" Wen Yunxi changed the topic.
Gu Shiqi replied: "The people of Western Chu are open and there are many opportunities. Unfortunately, not all opportunities are good. So when you encounter opportunities, you need to make more judgments."
"Young Master Gu is careful and you will definitely seize the opportunities you want." Lian Zhi replied.
"Then it's Miss Lin's blessing." Gu Shiqi said.
The waiter started serving food. Their seats were in the lobby. There were no cubicles at this time. Wen Yunxi didn't care much and asked Gan Tang and Su Yue to sit down and eat together.
Wen Yunxi kept picking up vegetables for Lian Zhi: "Try this, it's also very delicious."
Lian Zhi didn't know what to say about Wen Yunxi. Even if Gu Shiqi was a fool, he probably could see that they were not sisters at all. From the way Wen Yunxi recommended the dishes, anyone could tell that she was not at all.
People from Western Chu. It’s just that Gu Shiqi is a smart man, so he pretends that he didn’t discover anything.
Just when everyone was halfway through their meal, several people suddenly walked in from outside the door. Seeing the fat man walking in the front, the guests couldn't help but put down their bowls and chopsticks.
"Who is this person?" Wen Yunxi was a little surprised. When she saw him, everyone was like a mouse meeting a cat. Hexianju, which was bustling just now, suddenly became quiet.
Gu Shiqi made a silent gesture to Wen Yunxi, and Wen Yunxi immediately stopped talking.
"Prince, why are you here today?" The shopkeeper personally went to receive the prince.
The prince and his servants were very aggressive, and the shopkeeper kept laughing in apology.
"I want to have dinner at your place today, please make room for me."
"Of course, we must make room for the prince."
The shopkeeper originally wanted to find a private room for Prince Wang, but Prince Wang's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Shiqi and the people eating at the same table with Gu Shiqi.
"Isn't this Gu Shiqi? Why, you use the money you stole from my Wang family to invite women to Hexianju for dinner?" Wang Li's eyes remained on Lian Zhi.
Gu Shiqi stood up and blocked Wang Li's gaze from looking at Lian Zhi: "Master Wang, I'm just doing business, how can you say it's robbery?"
"You dare to touch my Wang family's business. Why do you only say these nice things when you meet me? Hey, four women, can you handle it?" Wang Li said sarcastically.
Wen Yunxi couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "If you can't speak, shut up. I am the one who is treating you to dinner today and it has nothing to do with Mr. Gu."
"Hey, Gu Shiqi, you are really getting better and better as you live, and women have to treat you to dinner." After Wang Li said that, he looked at Wen Yunxi, "How about you, have a meal with me, and I'll treat you."
"Keep your mouth clean. If you are disrespecting us like this, don't blame me for being rude." Wen Yunxi was so angry that even Lian Zhi couldn't hold her back.
The shopkeeper immediately came to persuade Wen Yunxi: "Girl, please stop talking. This prince is the nephew of the prime minister. You must make amends."
"So it's the Prime Minister's nephew? Even if it's the Prime Minister's son who is here today, I can't possibly apologize. And it was him who was disrespectful to us just now. Why should we apologize? This is Chujing. At the feet of the Emperor, is there any king?
Is it legal?" After Wen Yunxi finished speaking, Wang Li rushed up and was about to slap him. Gan Tang immediately went to stop Wang Li, but was thrown away by Wang Li.
"Gantang!" Su Yue rushed to help Gantang. Wang Li rushed up and was about to hit Wen Yunxi. Gu Shiqi quickly stopped Wang Li, and Lian Zhi protected Wen Yunxi behind him.
Wang Li was restrained by Gu Shiqi and became angry. He shouted to the servant behind him: "Fuck me. If you beat someone to death, it will be mine."
The servants came towards Lian Zhi. Gu Shiqi let go of Wang Li and went to stop the servants. Lian Zhi pushed Wen Yunxi to Su Yue and Gantang's side: "You guys go to the side and hide."
The servants started throwing things around, the guests were running around, and the whole Hexianju was in chaos.
Wang Li and several servants wanted to arrest Lian Zhi. Gu Shiqi was stopped by other servants. It was difficult for him to pass by and he shouted anxiously: "Miss Lin!"
Lian Zhi slapped the table, and a chopstick was knocked into the air. Lian Zhi waved his hand, and the chopstick passed by grazing Wang Li's cheek, and then sank deeply into the board. Wang Li touched the wound on his face, not daring to
He looked at Lian Zhi with confidence.
Everyone was stunned by Lian Zhi's hand. Gu Shiqi could tell that Lian Zhi's martial arts was very good. How could a woman's martial arts be so good?
Wang Li became even more angry: "Hit me, beat her to death, how dare you hurt my face."
Lian Zhi climbed onto the table and kicked the servants away. Wang Li could hardly believe what he saw.
Lian Zhi walked up to Wang Li, stared at his face, and said expressionlessly: "I'm warning you, don't provoke us again, otherwise you may not be able to get out of here today."
Wang Li saw murderous intent in Lian Zhi's eyes. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back, but at this moment he heard someone's ridicule.
Lian Zhi placed a piece of gold on the table: "We will pay for the damaged tables and chairs, and we will also pay for the meal." Lian Zhi said and walked out the door. Gu Shiqi, Wen Yunxi and others quickly followed.
Go up.
But when Lian Zhi was about to step out, Wang Li went crazy and picked up a bench and threw it at Lian Zhi.
"Wanyang, be careful!" Wen Yunxi shouted.
Lian Zhi didn't even look back, but she had already stretched out her hand to block the bench. Wang Li was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. Lian Zhi pushed hard, and the bench actually cracked. Wang Li let go, and the cracked bench fell to the ground.
on the ground.
Lian Zhi turned around and looked at Wang Li, who was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground: "I, I didn't mean it..."
Lian Zhi knelt down and looked at Wang Li. Wang Li reminded her of a person, her former "friend". That person once escaped from purgatory with her. She thought she could trust her, but the moment she left, she
He raised his sword and stabbed himself.
Lian Zhi was the last one to survive, but from that moment on she also understood that in order to survive, some people are willing to do anything, even if they abandon their long-standing friends.
Lian Zhi's eyes were a little red and looked very scary. Wang Li was really frightened. He felt that the person in front of him really wanted to kill him at this moment.
