Ouyang killed the doctor. Part of the reason why he stepped forward to challenge him was because he wanted to fight, but the other part of the reason was very simple.
After arriving at Liyue Port, he had no clue about the mission assigned to him by Her Majesty the Queen.
Feeling depressed, he wanted to find someone to fight with to relieve his stress.
Naturally, Ouyang is a very good challenger.
This choice was made after some thought. Being able to kill the doctor means that at least he is strong enough, and he is also the head of the noble family who lives in Yujingtai. If he can defeat the opponent, then he can be regarded as a famous fool in Liyue Port.
.
But at first he really just wanted to challenge, not kill the opponent.
He is not stupid enough to invite someone in person if he wants to kill him. He is not a knight of Mondstadt. He wants to kill someone but still insists on a high-sounding duel.
Really, he just wanted to have a fight with Ouyang, without any personal grudges.
He was still aware of Her Majesty the Queen's ban five years ago, and the pitiful collegiality among the Fools' executive officers was not enough for him to avenge the Doctor.
The change of mind started when he saw the disabled Ouyang. Seeing him like a cripple made Dadalia feel uncomfortable.
After all, the doctor is also an executive of the Fools, but his murderer is such a person that he is a little concerned about Ouyang and the existence of your family.
At that glance before leaving, he thought that neither the Gui family nor Ouyang should continue to exist, because the now disabled Ouyang was like a silent mockery of Zhi Dong and fools.
I'm disabled, but you can't do anything to me!
So he walked very gracefully when he left, and even on the way back, he had already thought about how to secretly get rid of this being who had tarnished the reputation of the Fools.
But now...what have I done?
His thoughts were brought back, Dadalia knew that some things could never be postponed.
"Gather all your strength, I will give you one night to investigate all the information about your family Ouyang, that's all! Go quickly!"
"Uh...yes, Mr. Executive Officer!"
The debt collector was a little confused, but seeing the serious look on the young master's face, he obeyed the order and left immediately.
After his men left and the office became quiet again, Dadalia sat on a chair and began to think.
For now, find a suitable opportunity, or an entry point, and meet with Ouyang as soon as possible to unravel what happened today.
And the earlier the better. As one of the Seven Stars, Ouyang's actions today were almost insulting in person.
No...I seem to be calling him a cripple...
Recalling what he did today, Dadalia facepalmed again.
Unfortunately, he understood that there was too little information about Ouyang now, so in order not to make things worse, he could only wait patiently.
As the sun sets, the office begins to get dark.
snap——
Turn on the light on the table, and the firelight illuminates this small space.
There is an old saying in Liyue that people should not be judged by their appearance.
Thinking of this, Dadalia cheered up again.
As a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, this mistake did not make him feel frustrated. Instead, he understood that he needed to be careful in handling this trip to Liyue.
At night, in a restaurant in Feiyunpo, some owners of small business associations gathered here.
This was originally a routine gathering. A date was always agreed in advance every month for everyone to get together and exchange information. It was also considered a very loose alliance.
In the past years, not many people participated. Although each company's business was different, since they were not big chambers of commerce, everyone used various tricks to seize the remaining shares.
Therefore, although some people have suggested joining forces in previous years, the results have not been great. This kind of monthly gathering often comes with two types of people.
One type is those who have eaten some portion and come here to show off.
One is those who are about to be desperate and try their luck.
Others will basically not come here. When doing business, Liyue people mostly focus on making a fortune in silence. After all, there are only a few people who are willing to come here to show off.
And because most of the people at the party were those two types of people, the atmosphere gradually changed. Those who came to show off were like victorious generals, pointing out the country while changing glasses, showing their domineering attitude, while those who wanted something were all flattering.
The ability to flatter, flatter and laugh.
It's all a boring fun.
Therefore, those businessmen who just came to inquire about information were unwilling to come.
But today is different. As soon as the news on the bulletin board spread this morning, panic spread among the businessmen.
Everyone knew that things were not simple this time. Even the blind and deaf, no matter how slow their reactions were, they knew something big was going on after the Qianyan Army guarded various intersections and shouted "Martial Law".
Ordinary people are not very aware of this, and just regard it as a source of gossip, because many people whose families are engaged in mining have also been informed by Qianyanjun that nothing serious has happened to the miners, but that they are currently under management.
But it's different among businessmen.
After a day of fermentation, many of them were frightened and spontaneously chose to get together, hoping to communicate with each other before martial law at night.
Most of their panic comes from the unknown.
The news of the closure of the Strata Abyss is so shocking. It is like cutting off the roots of countless businessmen. This is a major event that can really affect many people's bankruptcy!
The current situation is that most of the ore on the market has been taken away by the Huishan Department and placed in the warehouse of the General Affairs Department. The news released is that anyone who wants to buy or sell ore can apply to the General Affairs Department, but only
Can be purchased in limited quantities.
This set of rules will be implemented for two weeks.
Although none of the merchants whose ores have been taken away have lost money, after all, Huishan Hall was given to Mora, but now no one knows whether they will still be able to obtain the source of goods for sale in two weeks.
Even though many people think that things will be fine after two weeks, no one dares to bet on this as it concerns their own lives and wealth. More importantly, the announcement only mentioned the seven-star investigation and did not say when it would be resumed.
Therefore, although there were the largest number of people attending the party today, the dinner table was the most deserted.
With limited information channels, they could not come up with any regulations.
"Boss Wu? Don't you even have any news about you?"
The lean old man known as Boss Wu also shook his head and sighed after hearing this.
"How can I get any news? Let me see. We can't talk about anything while sitting here. Otherwise, we should leave early and try our luck elsewhere. I think other places should also gather like us.
Already."
"Didn't you get in touch with the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce? Didn't they reveal something to you?"
"How could I not ask, but big families like Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and the Zhu family are either closing their doors to thank guests today, or they don't know much about it. So, let's break up before the martial law time in the evening.
, move around more.”
After saying that, Boss Wu stood up, raised his wine glass and saluted everyone: "This happened suddenly, and since we can't talk about anything here, I will take the first step. Farewell!"
After drinking the wine, Boss Wu turned and left.
After the people left, Han Tingli, who was sitting in the corner, looked at everyone who was still looking gloomy and gloomy.
I also felt a little discouraged.
To those at the main table, he was just a small businessman. If we were to classify people into classes, he would be at the bottom.
Although his business is larger than the others at his table, with the title of Xuanmen lineage, the local businessmen in Liyue Port still reject him and have no say.
He traveled to many places today, trying to understand some specific situations, but from morning to now, he made countless smiles and still found nothing.
Now, he was numb. He looked at the wine glass on the table in front of him and frowned deeply.
well...
Han Tingli sighed, raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
The familiar burning sensation entered the stomach along the esophagus, and the surging alcohol odor returned to the brain.
This uncomfortable feeling came over again. He frowned and suppressed it. Gu Fan
During this period, he had had enough of drinking and even hated drinking, but today he thought it would be better to get drunk.
New Moon Pavilion, six people were sitting in the box.
Although there are only six people sitting here, they are all relatively large businessmen in Liyue Port. Although they are not as good as the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, they are no different together.
Different from the boring party at Han Tingli's, the box here seemed a lot more lively, but the lively situation was a bit off.
Ma Wenliang is a well-known ore boss in Liyue Port. Although his business has little reputation among the people, those who know him know that Boss Ma has his own mining team that specializes in ore transactions with businessmen from other countries.
Boom——
After drinking a glass of wine, Marvin slammed the glass on the table.
"This is so irritating. Tell me, is what Qixing did this time too outrageous?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. In this situation, we can only think about it. At least it's not a loss."
Hearing this, Ma Wenliang was even more unhappy.
"No loss? The Huishan Hall has taken away almost all the ore from Liyue Port. Now the bidding price for the ore outside is more than three times higher. How come there is no loss?"
"Hey, didn't the General Affairs Department say that if you want to trade ore, you can go there and buy it at the original price, so don't be angry."
"But there is such a special purchase limit. Businessmen from other countries still have to replenish their goods from us, but where do we have the goods now? I think Qixing wants to take advantage of this opportunity to benefit himself!"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense after a few glasses of wine."
Du Hai, an old man sitting in the front seat, listened to Ma Wenliang's tendency to get more and more outrageous, so He Xini advised him.
"The General Affairs Department said two weeks, which means our mining team can resume production within two weeks. Don't complain now. It's just a small loss for the time being."
Although he was trying to persuade, the old man's intention was very clear. Everyone including everyone here felt that he was at a loss this time.
They all have their own teams of miners, and they originally had a lot of ore stored in their warehouses.
But the news of the accident in the layered rock abyss has never been released.
Huishan Hall personally went to buy it, and after a time lag, they sold all the ores in their hands without receiving any news.
It was originally a happy thing, and in order to keep their wealth secret, they did not tell anyone about it, but unexpectedly the situation started to change suddenly the next day.
They always thought that they were just lucky enough to be favored by Huishan Hall and take away the ore, but later they found out that the other party had purchased the entire inventory of Liyue Port.
By then it was too late to regret it.
As the news comes one after another, and looking at the rising ore prices, not to mention the six of them, other powerful businessmen, who doesn't feel distressed?
three times!
That’s an extra profit!
To put it more exaggerated, it is impossible to say that this time we can make profits for at least five years!
So, heartache!
Huishan Hall, raised like a dog, is not a human being!
The more you think about it, the angrier it becomes. The more you think about it, the more you take a step back.
Snapped--
With red eyes, Marven slammed the table and said angrily: "No, we must give an explanation. The General Affairs Department has not clearly stated the regulations. Who knows whether production can really be resumed in two weeks."
"Don't look for trouble, I'll tell you."
Du Hai squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Wenliang, who was obviously in trouble, and said in a faint voice.
"Who are you going to ask for an explanation? That's the Huishan Department and the General Affairs Department. Did they forcefully buy your mine? Or didn't they give you the money? You must go and commit suicide, and I won't do it in Lanzhou. After tonight, you can do whatever you want.
So, but now, just give me some peace of mind."
After saying this, the anger at the dinner table became silent. Their eyes looked back and forth between Du Hai and Ma Wenliang, and no one spoke for a while.
Ma Wenliang, who had been scolded, saw Du Hai who was obviously angry. His drunken brain calmed down and he put on a smile to apologize.
"Ouch, I drank a few glasses of horse urine and started talking nonsense. Mr. Du, you have a lot, don't be angry. I'll punish myself with three glasses of horse urine, I'll punish myself with three glasses of urine!"
Being careful, Marvin drank three more glasses of wine.
Your home, on the dining table.
Gui Chuanyu, who was eating, didn't know what he thought of. He interrupted the work of the cook, looked up at Ouyang sitting at the main seat and asked.
"Uncle, have you finished your work today?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
"oh..."
Upon hearing this, Gui Chuanyu responded in a low mood, lowered his head and continued to cook, but his movements were a little rougher than before.
Ouyang saw the child's strange behavior, but he did not ask questions immediately. Instead, he looked at Xue Lian sitting aside with confusion, hoping that she could explain what was going on.
"Master, Chuanyu has been complaining about you not eating with him for a few days, so he's a little moody."
After saying that, the worry in her heart came to mind again. She looked at Ouyang and continued to ask: "Master, has something happened? There have been many guests at home recently, and I saw that the eldest sister's expression was not good when she left a few days ago.
not too good."
So that’s it.
Looking at Xue Lian and the child, Ou smiled.
"There is nothing going on at home, and don't worry about Beidou. She just broke up with Ningguang and is in a bad mood. Are you going to sea soon?"
"Yes, the eldest sister sent someone to ask this morning. I am still hesitant. But now that there is nothing at home, I, I still want to go out."
Xue Lian seemed a little embarrassed when she spoke, her voice was not loud and she lowered her head.
Ouyang, who had some guesses in his mind, didn't say much. He turned to look at Gui Chuanyu, who was doing the rice fiercely, and joked: "Is there your enemy in this bowl? Why are you eating with such a fierce expression?"
"I want to eat more, so I won't need my uncle to support the family."
It was originally a joke, and Ouyang wanted to tease the child, but he found that it seemed that he was the one who was breached.
No matter whether the child really means it or not, those innocent words are so healing.
"Well, I understand, uncle. Let's eat quickly, but it's delicious. Don't gorge yourself on it. It's not good for your health."
"Okay uncle."
Calmness returned to the dinner table, and everyone ate their own meals without speaking again.
Shen He, who was sitting on the other side, frowned slightly. She felt a hint of an emotion she had never experienced before. It was strange, but very easy to understand.
Is this family?
She looked at Ouyang who only moved his chopsticks a few times and stopped eating, and suddenly felt that it was indeed not easy to be a good head of the household.
Soon after finishing the meal, Guiping came to the restaurant to report: "Sir, Miss Gan Yu is looking for you."
How could she come here like this?
Ouyang, who was confused, drove the wheelchair to the front hall and saw Gan Yu sitting on the chair with a tangled look on his face.
That awkward and unnatural expression made Ouyang even more confused?
"Gan Yu, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Ouyang's voice, Gan Yu raised his head and said in a somewhat innocent and shy voice: "I, I was in the conference room today and didn't record clearly what you said."
Having said this, Gan Yu looked at Ouyang and said sheepishly: "You, can you say it again?"
