After Taoist Shi Ming left, Chen Ci sat at the tea table alone, took out the old wine that he had collected for many years, gently uncorked the wine, and poured himself a glass.

Just when Chen Ci was about to drink a glass of wine, there was another knock on the door.

"Dad, are you asleep? Ling'er has something important to ask you."

Hearing Chen Ling's voice, Chen Ci quickly placed the wooden box containing the cold star grass on the bed and covered it tightly with a quilt.

The door was opened. Chen Ci looked at Chen Ling standing outside the door and said softly: "Ling'er, why are you looking for daddy so late?"

Chen Ling ducked into the house, quickly closed the door tightly, and said in a solemn tone: "Dad, Brother Xiao told me that he saw six corpses on the official road. After identifying their characteristics, they were determined to be the six Mangshan bandits. Dad

, Yuancheng doesn’t have any porcelain at all, so he knows that this thief shouldn’t believe it.”

After Chen Ci heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he smiled bitterly: "I originally thought that only the Yuanshi Escort Agency was planning our plans, but I didn't expect that the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce was also involved. It's really overwhelming."

"Dad, what does this have to do with the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce?" Chen Ling was a little confused and asked aloud.

"You don't have to worry, dad already has a solution."

After Chen Ci finished speaking, he stopped answering his daughter's questions, sent Chen Ling away, and blew out the candles in one breath. Dark night suddenly filled the entire bedroom. Chen Ci stood by the bed, took out the wooden box from the quilt, and held it tightly with his fingers.

Hold it and squeeze out red marks on the palm of your hand.

The next morning, Xiao Yueming opened the door, and the fresh air came to him. He exhaled a breath of stale air, and immediately felt refreshed physically and mentally.

When he came to the stable, Xiao Yueming patted Qiuqiu's horse's head and rubbed the crimson mane. Qiuqiu suddenly felt comfortable, as if the whole horse's life was complete. Looking at the remaining apples in the manger, Xiao Yueming

He nodded with satisfaction. At least you can't break your promise as a human being, let alone a horse.

In the Yuanshi Escort Agency, after Yuan Cheng reported yesterday's situation to his father Yuan Weidong, he went to the Escort Agency's accounting room alone.

Yuancheng took out a note from his lapel and handed it to the housekeeper in the accounting room: "This is a note written by my father. I'm here to collect one thousand taels of silver."

The accountant took the note with both hands, carefully checked the handwriting and Yuan Weidong's private seal, and then handed Yuancheng a one thousand tael banknote: "Master, this is the banknote, please keep it."

After taking the banknote, Yuancheng walked out of Yuanshi Escort Agency, but did not go to Fanhong Escort Agency, but walked south along the street.

Entrance to Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, Yuancheng

Before knocking on the door, a man in black opened the door:

"Gate Guard"

The "Eldest Young Master" named Ge Guanwei nodded slightly, and then the two of them walked into the mansion together.

Sitting in the hall of the mansion was a fat middle-aged man. His huge body made the poor wicker chair creak, as if the wicker chair was wailing in pain. His ten radish-thick fingers were covered with agate rings.

The specially made gorgeous robe worn on that fat body looked like a piece of pork covered by a butcher's cloth.

After leading Yuan Cheng into the hall, the guard Ge retreated consciously.

"I wonder why Uncle Guan called me here today?"

Yuancheng said with his hands raised to the Roshan in front of him.

Guan Tiexiang is the president of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. He can be said to be the most important person in the entire Juyang County. He controls almost all the transportation channels for porcelain in the county. Even the escort of the Yuan family has to give up Sanfen Bomian.

Guan Tiexiang's little eyes that were almost covered with fat opened a slit, and his voice was a little sharp, and he said: "Yuancheng, go back and inform your father that I have been unable to contact the Six Bandits of Mangshan for twelve hours."

"What? How could this happen? If I had listened to my father's advice and controlled the six bandits in Mangshan in advance, the current incident would not have happened."

Yuancheng was a little excited and said loudly.

Guan Tiexiang was a little angry, his body like a mountain of meat shook, and a sharp voice sounded: "Yuancheng, you are just a junior, it is not your turn to tell me what to do, and do you think that the six bandits of Mangshan are just like that?"

So easy to deal with? The six of them are all third-rate in strength. In order to keep them from showing up for this period of time, I spent a lot of money. In such a situation, they only agreed to rob me because of the face of Tianzong Guanzong.

dart."

Yuan Cheng immediately bowed and saluted: "Yuan Cheng made a blunder in a moment of impatience. Uncle Wang Guan must not take it to heart."

Guan Tiexiang waved his hand: "The life and death of the six bandits in Mangshan have nothing to do with us. Fanhong Escort Bureau now only knows that it is your Yuanshi Escort Bureau who is taking the opportunity to suppress. The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce has not surfaced yet. This is the best

result."

"You'd better be careful. If Fanhong Escort Bureau knows that I'm involved, they will definitely publicize it. How can other chambers of commerce let go of this opportunity? I have taken away the majority of Juyang County's porcelain business for many years.

There are many people who dislike the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce."

Yuan Lima promised: "Uncle Guan, please rest assured, we will definitely act with caution. Besides, the Fanhong Escort Agency has no one available now and cannot afford to cause any trouble."

After Yuancheng and Guan Tiexiang finished talking, Yuancheng was ready to go to Fanhong Villa to send some silver.

Yuancheng gritted his teeth with hatred at the thought of giving a thousand taels of silver to that boy, but he had no idea of ​​killing Xiao Yueming. On the day he was besieged by wolves, he saw Xiao Yueming's extraordinary swordsmanship with his own eyes, so he naturally knew that boy

Not easy to deal with.

Walking out of the house, he touched the thin thousand taels of silver notes on his chest. He felt inexplicably heartbroken. As soon as Yuancheng stepped out of the door with his left foot, he felt a fat hand grabbing his arm and turned his head.

Looking over, I saw a huge face that completely engulfed my sight.

"Brother Yuancheng, you came to my house and didn't come to see me. Do you know how much Zi Ran misses you after not seeing you these days."

The voice is sweet and melodious, like a young girl whispering in the ear. This is the only daughter of Guan Tiexiang, Guan Ziran.

Yuancheng looked at the 300-pound body in front of him, his Adam's apple squirmed, and he swallowed hard.

Slowly pulling his arm out of Fat's hand, his skin seemed to be scratched by oil, and goosebumps fell all over his body. Yuancheng endured the discomfort and said bravely:

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Miss Guan is as beautiful as ever. I still have some unfinished business, so I'll pay her a visit and say goodbye another day."

Before Yuancheng finished speaking, he hurriedly rushed out the door.

Guan Ziran looked at Yuancheng's back and shouted: "Brother Yuancheng, I told you to call me sister Ziran. Also, this is the purse I show off with my own hands..."

Seeing that there was no trace of Yuancheng in the broad street, and holding an ugly purse in his plump hand, Guan Ziran felt a sense of grievance in his heart, and his huge body stood at the door trembling.

At Fanhong Escort, after Xiao Yueming had breakfast, he was called to the study by Chen Ci. At this time, there were only Xiao Yueming, Chen Ci and Taoist Death in the room.

Xiao Yueming didn't know what Chen Ci wanted to do with him, but he obviously wanted to avoid Chen Ling, otherwise he wouldn't have invited him to the study.

"Why are you two looking for me? You might as well tell me frankly."

Chen Ci glanced at Taoist Death, who understood and slowly said: "Little friend Xiao is so cheerful, so this poor Taoist must have said it clearly, has Xiaoyou been poisoned by the soul-breaking poison?"

Xiao Yueming's pupils shrank suddenly, and she was shocked in her heart, "The only people who know that I have been poisoned by the Soul-Destroying Poison are the two girls on Black Maple Island, Xu Heng and the major leaders. Where did I get this fatal Taoist? I have never been with him."
