Chapter 33: I Didn't Kill People
Time passed by for more than half a month. Lin Qingxuan followed the method Jiang Chen taught him and sold Jiang Yuebai's inventory in Zuixianlou one by one, and made a lot of money.
But similarly, Zuixian Tower has been closed for more than a month because of the death last time.
After all, there is no way to continue like this. Zuixian Restaurant will open its doors to welcome customers after all. This is a very important industry of their Lin family. Even if Lin Qingxuan can stay calm, the old man of the Lin family cannot just sit back and watch the restaurant collapse like this.
Lin Qingxuan came to Jiang Chen's house for the first time that day, just to talk to him about this matter.
"You have to think of a way quickly. Our old man is pressing hard, and I can't delay it any longer."
Lin Qingxuan poured himself a cup of tea unceremoniously, and then while breathing heavily and complaining, he told Jiang Chen exactly what his old man said to him.
"Although selling wine is a good method, and we have a regular customer base, we can sell at least a dozen jars of Jiang Yuebai every day, but after all, it can only barely allow me to break even, Zuixianlou
That’s the big one.”
Jiang Chen listened quietly to Lin Qingxuan's words, and then slowly said: "Within three days, I guarantee that you will open Zuixian Tower, and it will be full of guests on the first day, and the scene will be lively."
"Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"
From Lin Qingxuan's point of view, after the previous incident, it would be great if the Zuixian Tower could have customers come to the reopened restaurant, even just three or two.
He didn't dare to expect that Zuixian Tower would be crowded with people and business would be booming on the first day it reopened. Even in his dreams, he didn't dare to think so.
Jiang Chen smiled lightly, as if he understood everything.
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"That's not true, but how do you make those people forget about the dead? Even now, there are still people taking a detour in front of Zuixian Tower. You can't put a knife on their necks and force them to enter Zuixian Tower, right?
?”
"Of course not. I will make people willingly go to Zuixian Tower to hold a big banquet. I won't be happy unless there are dozens of tables."
Jiang Chen was so confident when he spoke that Lin Qingxuan didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling. He complained a few times and was ordered to be kicked out by Jiang Chen.
"Are you going out?"
"That's right, so I won't leave you at home to eat. Let's go back and prepare for reopening."
After Lin Qingxuan left, Jiang Chen and Gu Jun rushed to Hutou Mountain outside the city together. According to the agreement, he would send the money he earned this time to the bandit leader Huang Sicai.
In business, he must keep his word, even when dealing with bandits, he must keep his promise.
What's more, he planned to bring back the remaining medicinal materials this time, so what if he didn't give Huang Sicai some sweetness?
The two of them arrived at Hutou Mountain smoothly. When Huang Sicai saw Jiang Chen, it was as if he had seen his own God of Wealth. He was smiling so much that he almost laughed out loud.
He is obviously a bandit leader who is in charge of hundreds of people, but he has no structure at all, which is really disdainful.
"Okay, okay, Jiang Chen, you are true to your word, which makes me very satisfied. But this is only three thousand taels of silver, isn't it a little too little?"
Huang Sicai stared at the money intently, but shamelessly wanted to get more from Jiang Chen.
Gu Jun reminded dissatisfiedly: "It was agreed last time that it will be divided into 30% and 70%. You don't have to do anything on the mountain to get 30%. Why are you dissatisfied?"
His words immediately aroused the anger of the other bandits around him, and some of them had already put their hands on the handles of their knives.
If they don't agree with each other, they may take action at any time. For this gang of murderous bandits, there is no integrity or morality to restrain them.
Jiang Chen's performance was as calm as ever, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't forget, there are still more than a dozen boxes of medicinal materials on the mountain that have not been disposed of. I came here today to take them away so that I can go down the mountain to exchange for more.
The money comes back."
"In order to get a steady stream of money later, I don't think the king will do anything like climbing up and down the ladder, right?"
Huang Sicai was still smart. He replied with a smile: "No, no, I was just joking with you just now. If you want those medicinal materials, please send someone to move them away quickly. I'm afraid they will continue to be kept here.
, it will rot sooner or later.”
"Then it's settled, next time it will still be divided into 30-70."
"Okay, let's do it."
After Jiang Chen and Huang Sicai had reached an agreement, he and Gu Jun were about to go down the mountain, but unexpectedly a bandit suddenly jumped out from behind and pointed the finger directly at Jiang Chen.
"Your Majesty, we can't let this kid go!"
Huang Sicai curled his lips and asked him: "How can you talk to our God of Wealth? Do you deserve a spanking if you are born here?"
This man named Tusheng quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I went down the mountain with Zhao Laosan and the others that day. I met a refugee on the way. I wanted to get some money and food to come back, but I didn't expect to be blocked by this kid and his companions."
"Zhao Laosan and the other two brothers were all there. It was this guy who was wearing a military uniform and riding a horse. I can't remember it wrong!"
Huang Sicai was shocked after hearing this. He didn't care about killing a lot of people. He was used to doing their job. As long as he came back with good arms and legs after going down the mountain, he had to go and burn incense seriously. Thank God for blessing.
It was common for some people to die outside, but Jiang Chen was wearing military uniform and riding a horse, which made him suddenly suspicious.
"Brother Jiang, you see, it's not that I don't believe you. Since my little brother said that you killed our people, just explain it in front of everyone, so I can convince everyone, right?"
"Otherwise, all of my brothers will hate evil and are willing to stab each other. Those who kill us will have to pay with their lives!"
Seeing that the situation took a turn for the worse, Gu Jun quickly protected Jiang Chen behind him.
Jiang Chen still said with a straight face: "That was all just a misunderstanding. Why don't you ask this native brother if I killed those three people at that time?"
"Although you didn't do it, it was your companion who did it!"
Jiang Chen raised the corner of his mouth and laughed, "How do you conclude that that person is my companion? I dare to swear that I have never met that person. The reason why they wanted to kill you at that time was not because you stole someone else's head."
"You want to rob me too, don't you?"
Huang Sicai looked at Tusheng, who was hesitant and speechless.
"Look, I just said that I misunderstood brother Jiang Chen, why don't you apologize to him quickly?"
Huang Sicai stood up and kicked Tusheng in the butt. The latter screamed in pain and quickly bowed his head to Jiang Chen to admit his mistake.
