"The villain came from Jiangling this time, bringing a total of 80,000 cans of stock, in order to make a lot of money during the Chinese New Year. The convoy carried the goods all the way from Jiangling to Bianliang, but when passing by Xuzhou, he was

They were robbed and all the rickshaw drivers who were traveling with him were killed.

One of the villain's brothers-in-law also died, and the Deng Junye sent by Dutou was also beheaded. They captured the villain and Chen Junye alive, tortured them and asked them about the secret recipe for making tea. The villain couldn't bear it and had to

I told them the secret recipe. While they were sleeping at night, Master Chen escaped with the villain."

After hearing what Guo Ji said, Xu Xian was shocked. He had thought that the business would be targeted before. He had thought that the other party would use some dirty tricks to force him to hand over the business, but he did not expect that he would be so domineering and ruthless.

He actually robbed someone openly and openly.

"Don't panic, where is Uncle Chen?"

"He was injured more seriously than I was. He couldn't survive the journey, so I put him in a village to recuperate."

Although Guo Ji couldn't see his true expression due to his bruised nose and face, Xu Xian could hear his fear from his trembling voice from time to time.

"Have you ever offended anyone?"

Guo Ji shook his head and said: "The villain is a businessman or a beard. He has always been on good terms with others and never dared to offend others. Even if he did this business of speculating on young people, he would not dare to share a piece of the pie with his colleagues. It is quite... very good.

Maybe I have offended someone because I heard from Master Chen that the people here are all veterans in the military."

This is troublesome. It's possible that Xu Xian has offended Li Chongjin, Wang Jun, and Huang Xinqing, or Xu Xian doesn't recognize each other at all. They may just be jealous of the huge profits; they don't even have to be people in the military, as long as they give money

Uncle Bing has always dared to do anything.

He thought for a while and then said: "It's not difficult to check. They can't use the tea leaves in their hands as money. They have to sell them. As long as they dare to take action, they can follow the clues and rescue people."

Guo Ji slapped his thigh and said, "What you said is right. This batch of tea leaves were picked in early autumn, and the quality is a little different. As long as you go to the market and see who is selling it, you will definitely find out what's going on behind the scenes."

people."

Having found a way, Xu Xian went to work immediately, found Jiubao and Dakui who were resting at home, and went to the market. Jiu Baoer pretended to be an ordinary customer and went to the tea shops one by one to buy tea.

Leave it to Guo Ji to identify.

Jiubao came out of the shop, spread his hands and said: "This family doesn't have it! Everyone, did something happen to the tea business? My father is still waiting for the dividends at the end of the year, so it's not good."

"It's useless to tell you, just go to the next one quickly!"

Guo Ji sighed and said: "I have asked so many stores but there is no one, or it is an old product from the past. If you ask me, I will tell you that they are probably not sold in Bianliang City. After all, it is stolen goods. It is better to go to Luoyang and have a look."

"No! The other party dared to kill and intercept in broad daylight without any scruples. In addition, he also forced to get the secret recipe. He will definitely continue to do this business in the future. He is not afraid of being exposed at all, and there is no need to hide it."

"This store has the goods!" Jiubao brought a white porcelain jar and handed it to Guo Ji.

Guo Ji glanced at the jar and his eyes widened. He quickly opened the lid, peeled off the moisture-proof oil paper, pinched a handful of tea leaves and looked at it in his hand, then put it in his mouth and tasted it.

"Du Tou, this is the stolen goods!"

"you sure!"

"I'm sure, Dutou, you see the glaze on this jar is flawed because it was over-fired in the kiln. This batch of jars are all like this. The most important thing is the texture of the tea leaves. They were obviously not picked in spring and summer.

."

Xu Xian didn't know so many things. Since Guo Ji said it, it was right, "Which tea shop did Jiu Baoer buy it at?"

"It's the one in front. There are quite a few customers!"

Everyone quickly walked a few steps and arrived in front of a tea shop. This tea shop has a large appearance. The four characters "Xinglong Tea Shop" are written on the gold-painted signboard. There are also many customers coming and going.

Guo Ji opened his mouth and cursed: "Unexpectedly, it is Lu Xingshou's shop. Fortunately, I still regard him as a good person. I would rather lack other people's goods than his goods, but he is hurting me like this."

The title of "line leader" not only refers to military positions, but also to the top brass in a brothel or the leading shopkeeper in the industry.

Dakui scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you dare to rob our business, I'll kill you!"

As he spoke, he rushed into the store and yelled, "Whoever is in charge, come out!"

The boss looked tough, dressed in military uniform and holding a long knife in his hand. He shouted with a loud voice, and most of the customers in the store were gone. The shopkeeper couldn't think of anything.

When Guo Ji saw the well-dressed shopkeeper, he immediately poured the tea he just bought on the counter and asked: "Lu Xingshou, where did you get this stuff?"

The shopkeeper frowned and asked, "Who are you? You don't care where my goods come from."

"I'm Guo Ji!"

"It turns out to be shopkeeper Guo. How did you end up like this? Who did you provoke?"

Guo Ji slapped the table angrily, "I just ask you where the tea comes from!"

"You are such a messy beard. You have no control over where Lu's tea comes from. If you still want to do business in Bianliang in the future, just be more calm. Don't think that just because you have hired a few Qiuba, Lu is afraid of you. Behind my back

You can’t afford to offend someone.”

Xu Xian snorted coldly, "This person won't shed tears until he sees the coffin, how big..."

Before Xu Xian could finish speaking, Dakui and Jiubao had already held down the shopkeeper and cut off half of his ear with a knife. Jiubao pinched the half of the ear and handed it to the shopkeeper, grinning.

He yelled: "Hand over my goods, otherwise your whole family will have no chance of living!"

Brutal! Jiubao, who usually looks like a fool, has shown unprecedented cruelty. Sometimes, it is like killing one's parents to destroy people's financial resources. It is very important for a family to have a stable and generous income in chaos.

.

In Liuhe Bay, the income from tea has far exceeded the monthly salary of the men in the family. Although there are rewards for killing enemies in battle, it is a business of licking blood with the tip of a knife, and you may not always be able to get money.

Dividends from the tea business have become the family's largest source of income, especially Jiubao's family. They invested the most money and gained the most profits at the beginning. Now that someone has robbed them, it would be strange not to be ruthless.

Jiubao, who had never seen blood, could be so ruthless. Xu Xian couldn't imagine what it would be like for those veterans who valued wealth as much as their lives, when they heard that their money tree had been pulled out.

Da Kui slapped Shopkeeper Lu's ear hard, "You said you didn't say it, you said you didn't say it, you said you didn't say it..."

Xu Xian patted Da Kui on the shoulder, "Da Kui, if you keep slapping him like this, he won't be able to say anything even if he wants to!"

"Oh." Da Kui then let go, and the merchant was already scared out of his wits, "Military Lord, please forgive me, I'll just do it for you. Shopkeeper Guo, your tea was not stolen by Lu, but by the steward of the prime minister's office."

Sold to Lu."

Xu Xian asked: "Which prime minister's office?"
