Looking at the boss with a flattering expression and a wrinkle of chrysanthemums on his old face, Chu Yang sneered. "It's true that I'm not used to eating human flesh, and I'm also really not used to drinking this wine with Mongolian sweat added!"
Hearing this, the smile on the boss's face froze. Then he laughed again. "Hahaha, guest officer, you really know how to joke, you really know how to joke."
"Who's joking with you?" As he spoke, Leng Feng kicked the boss to the ground. The guards on both sides immediately went up and surrounded the boss seven directly in the middle.
Being carried on the ground, the flattering smile on the boss's face disappeared, replaced by a distorted and arrogant face. "Hmph, so what if you know? To tell you the truth, our shop is Mr. Cheng's shop. If you are sensible, let us go immediately, maybe we can spare you a way out!"
"Hmph, that's right, if you dare to challenge us, Mr. Cheng, I think you are tired of your work!" Speaking of this, the young man also had a look of contempt.
"Yes, if you are sensible, leave your belongings and the box you brought back this afternoon. We can spare your life and let you survive. If not, then don't blame us for being rude to you!" At this point, the shopkeeper Get up from the ground, snorted coldly. With a haughty appearance, he didn't look like a prisoner at all, but more like a winner.
Look at the confident appearance of each of them. Chu Yang sneered. "It seems that you have done a lot of this business of killing people and stealing goods!"
"Let me tell you, we have been working for ten years, and no one can escape our master Cheng. Don't think that you are smart, and everything will be fine without eating. Let me tell you, this Meicheng is our Cheng. Your lord's territory, if you want to escape, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, kneel down obediently and beg for mercy to my uncle, leave your belongings, and I will spare your life, if not, then don't blame us for being cruel!" Speaking of this, the shopkeeper squinted his eyes, his eyes were as vicious as if poisoned.
"Listen to you, Master Cheng has many minions around you!" Chu Yang was quite curious about this.
"Speaking out will scare you to death. There are more than 30 thugs around Mr. Cheng, and you are not enough to see!" Having said this, the shopkeeper swept a group of Chu Yang's guards with contemptuous eyes. .
"Oh, thank you for telling me, I know!" Nodding his head, Chu Yang thanked with a smile. Then he said to Leng Feng beside him: "The one who stays with this shopkeeper can be used as a personal ID card, kill everyone else!"
"Yes!" Responding, Leng Feng made a look, and the guards immediately stepped forward to show their knives and slashed at the other six people.
"You, you are so courageous, you, how dare you..." Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Leng Feng stepped forward with two mouths. Pumped on the opponent's face.
"Old man, open your eyes and see clearly. This is the king of Dongzhou. You still want the king of Dongzhou to kneel and kowtow to you. You really have the guts of a bear!" Leng Feng said. With his feet on the opponent's calf, the shopkeeper knelt down in front of Chu Yang.
"Dong, King of Dongzhou?" Hearing these three words, the shopkeeper's proud face turned pale with fright.
"Yes, this king is the king of Dongzhou. What's your name? Do you have anything else to say to this king about your Master Cheng?" Looking at the shopkeeper, Chu Yang asked with a smile.
"Oops..."
"what… "
"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life..."
"No, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
Hearing the screams like slaughtering pigs in the room, and seeing the guys and cooks who fell one after another, the shopkeeper was so scared that his face was already pale, and he urinated immediately after shaking his body. "My lord, my lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!"
"Tell me, if you speak well, I will save your life!" Looking at the boss, Chu Yang said gently.
"I said, I said everything, Mr. Cheng, no, Cheng Qiankun, Cheng Qiankun was a robber who robbed houses before he became an official. At that time, the younger one followed him. Later, Cheng Qiankun became brothers with Cao Yunze and the others. They came up with the idea of the Li family in Meicheng. At that time, the Li family was the richest family in Meicheng and the richest family in Meicheng. The two bought officials and became the grand master of Anping Mansion. The younger one was reused because he followed Cheng Qiankun all the time. Let me be the innkeeper here to help him kill fat sheep and make money. The three inns in Meicheng The little ones are in charge, the little ones know about Cheng Qiankun's affairs, and the little ones are willing to tell the prince all the time, begging the prince to spare the little life!" As he said this, the shopkeeper hurriedly kowtowed in fear and begged for mercy.
"You also know about the Li family's affairs?" Chu Yang raised his eyebrows, but Chu Yang was a little surprised by this.
"I know, the younger one is a native of Meicheng. Back then, when Cheng Qiankun and the others wanted to go to the Li family, they asked the younger one to help them figure out ideas!"
"Very good, then tell me, where do Cheng Qiankun's minions live?" Chu Yang, who was looking at the shopkeeper, asked again.
"Cheng Qiankun is very careful. He is afraid that others will seek revenge on him, so he has a lot of minions who live in his county office to protect him. In addition, he loves money but is not lustful, so his county office There is only one wife in the house, and he is afraid of marrying a strange woman and being plotted against."
"Oh! Alright, then you will take the blame and do meritorious service, and go to the county government with me to arrest this Cheng Qiankun!" Chu Yang stood up after speaking.
"My lord, this, this can't work? You, you are too, too few!" Speaking of this, the innkeeper frowned.
Hearing this, Chu Yang was overjoyed. "You will know in a while how many people this king has."
"Let's go!" Stepping forward, two guards directly pulled the shopkeeper up from the ground.
"Drag the bodies of the other five people out, place them at the door of the inn, and then stick a notice on the door of the inn, telling the people of Meicheng that this black shop has been raided by the king!"
"Yes, my lord!" In response, the Wen staff went to find a pen and paper to write the notice.
After leaving the inn, Chu Yang joined the brigade led by Liu Yong. "How is it?" Looking at Li Yong, Chu Yang asked.
"Don't worry, my lord, all the clerks and cooks in the inn have been killed. The two shopkeepers are tied up in an inn, and a staff member is taking a statement for them. I left ten guards to protect the two staff members!" Chu Yang, Li Yong reported the truth.
"Well, very good, let's go to the county government!"
"Yes!" In response, everyone left with Chu Yang.
With the innkeeper leading the way, everyone broke into the county government office, beheaded Cheng Qiankun's minions, and directly captured Cheng Qiankun. Eight hundred thousand taels of silver were seized from his home.
The first battle was a complete victory, and Chu Yang left behind a business aide to act as the magistrate of Meicheng, another business aide to sort out Cheng Qiankun's confession, and another thirty guards to guard the dirty money and criminal evidence. . He dared to run directly to Liucheng with a large group of people.

Half a month later, Anping Mansion
Sitting in the back hall, Cao Yunze and Zhang Shan were drinking tea. "Second, why haven't there been any news about the third, fourth and fifth these two days?"
"They? Maybe they're all busy making money?" Speaking of this, Zhang Shan didn't take it seriously.
"I don't know why, ever since Princess Qingxia came to Anping Mansion, I always feel a little uneasy, and recently, I feel that something is wrong!" Cao Yunze frowned frequently at this point.
"Brother, you think too much. It's not a new thing for the king of Dongzhou to open stores to make money everywhere. Look at the capital, Pingzhou, Anzhou, Kuishan mansion, and Jianghai mansion. Don't these places all have branches of the prince? Is it so strange that the prince sent his adoptive daughter to open a branch in our Anping Mansion!" Looking at Cao Tianze, Zhang Shan comforted him.
"Yes, I know what you said. However, I still feel a little..." Cao Yunze was still a little worried when he thought of the nightmares these past few nights.
"Don't worry, brother, we have been in Anping Mansion for so many years, no matter how powerful he is, the Dongzhou King, he is the tiger of Dongzhou, and he can still control us here?"
"That's not bad! No matter how powerful the king of Dongzhou is, the vassal king of Dongzhou can't manage here. Now, what we have to do is to cooperate with the princess Qingxia as soon as possible to open the shop in Anping City Now that the store is open, she can go away!" Speaking of the princess, Cao Tianze frowned, he had ruled the Anping Mansion for ten years. At this moment, a princess suddenly appeared, and he still nodded and bowed down to serve a girl, which made him very upset.
Hearing this, Zhang Shan smiled. "You wish the princess would open the shop and leave sooner, but my third nephew probably doesn't think so! He probably doesn't want the princess to leave!"
Hearing this, Cao Yunze frowned. "Although that girl is Dongzhou King's adopted daughter, she is seventeen years old, and the youngest is only fifteen. I am really not happy to let him marry such an old girl."
"Hey, big brother, you can't say that. Although the princess is a bit older, she is a celebrity in front of the king of Dongzhou, and she has the brains and ability to do business. She is highly valued by the king of Dongzhou. , if the third nephew can catch him, he will be the son-in-law of the prince's family in the future. This status and status will be different!" Speaking of this, Zhang Shan showed a flattering smile.
Hearing this, Cao Tianze frowned. "Both the eldest and the second child in my family are promising, and they passed the official examination and became an official. The third child is a worthless person, who is not good at reading, and has been learning business from his uncle. The princess, this is also his good luck, but I heard that this princess is surrounded by a lot of young talents! I don’t know if the third child can get someone?" Selfishly, Cao Tianze Naturally, she also hoped that her son would be favored by the princess. Although the other party was just a foster daughter, she was a celebrity by the prince's side. If her son could gain such a relationship, it would be a good thing.
"Brother, don't worry, just with my third nephew's appearance and demeanor, he will definitely be able to embrace a beauty!"
"Beauty? I'm afraid not. That girl has been wearing a veil, and no one has seen her appearance. Besides, that girl is seventeen years old and hasn't married yet. I'm afraid her looks won't be too outstanding!" Speaking of this , Cao Yunze was a little worried about his son.
"Brother, what's the matter? If you don't look good, you can give your third nephew a few more beautiful concubines in the future!"
"Well, that's true!" Nodding his head, Cao Yunze agreed.
