There was indeed a noise outside the restaurant, and it came from a group of people.
Shi Yan still had a knot in his heart. After hearing Lu Li's reminder, he immediately walked to the observation deck and looked outside.
It was okay not to look, but when he saw the situation outside, his heart thumped again and he almost fainted!
I saw many fifth-grade guards of Prince Yan's palace standing on the long street, and Tan Long was among them.
But that alone was not enough to make Shi Yan feel scared. What really scared him was that these guards also brought a group of people, but looking at their clothes, it was clear that they were all people of high status.
And the source of that noise was them.
"Guys, Mr. Lu is already waiting, please." Tan Long stood in front of the restaurant door and extended his hand to invite you, his expression and tone were frighteningly cold.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that Lu Li had given him that badge, otherwise, today's errand would have really failed.
He had thought that these people might not cooperate, but he did not expect that they would not even give him any face. After receiving several rejections, Tan Long got angry and mobilized the forces in the government with his belt to force these people to come. 'Come here.
This quarrel can be regarded as a bridge.
"What's wrong, Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu? You tied us here and you don't intend to give us an explanation?"
Someone among the people who were invited said coldly: "We all work for His Highness King Yan. Our group of people usually have hard work without any credit, right? Today you mobilized the guards to get us out for no reason. If this hadn't happened A reasonable explanation, I will seek justice even if I get in front of His Highness."
"Yes, why did you tie us here?"
"I must give an explanation, otherwise, in the future, an individual can come to the store and act wild. Do I still want to do business in my store?"
If someone speaks up, someone will naturally respond. Among the people captured by Tan Long, several angry voices immediately sounded, making the expression on Tan Long's face even more ugly.
Tan Long sneered and said, "Want an explanation? Go upstairs, Master Lu will naturally give you an explanation!"
After saying that, he also became fierce and waved his hand: "Push them all to me!"
After hearing the order, the guards immediately grabbed the shouting thorns and pushed them into the restaurant.
"What are you doing?"
"Stop! Do you know who I am?"
"You're dead! A little fourth-grade guard dares to do this to us, no one can save you!"
When these scolding gangsters were taken into the restaurant, Tan Long looked at the remaining silent shopkeepers with a cold face, "How many of you, please?"
"My lord, why don't you tell us what the hell is that Mr. Lu upstairs doing to us?" The blacksmith shop owner hesitated for a while, but finally asked.
When he asked, the remaining people all looked at Tan Long.
Tan Long didn't answer, turned around and said calmly: "Don't worry, it's naturally a good thing."
After saying that, he walked into the restaurant first.
The remaining shopkeepers looked at each other in confusion, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes. In the end, they did not dare to leave and followed him step by step.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yan staggered slightly and sighed: "It's over..."
He looked at Lu Li who was sitting there steadily. He was already dull by nature, but at this time he couldn't even utter a word of advice.
I was even more shocked in my heart that Tan Long, who usually seemed so smart, would help Lu Li with such a big basket
Those people who were arrested were none other than them. They were the owners and big shopkeepers of all the properties under the name of Prince Yan’s Mansion!
In other words, these people are the money bags of the Yan Palace in the imperial capital. If you offend them, what good consequences can there be
Thinking of this, Shi Yan's heart was filled with sadness, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Lu Li glanced at him and knew what he was thinking, but he didn't explain.
Some words cannot be trusted by others if they are explained too much.
Not long after, Tan Long led a group of people here. After entering the private room, he raised his hands to Lu Li and said, "Master Lu, we are all here."
"Well done." Lu Li nodded and smiled, took out a piece of money and put it on the table, "Give a few points to a few brothers, thank you for their hard work."
"Thank you, sir!"
Tan Long clasped his fists and waved his hand, and the fifth-grade guards retreated quietly, leaving the shopkeepers with angry or scrutinizing eyes on Lu Li's face.
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked at them, smiling and said: "Everyone, shopkeepers, please take a seat."
Unfortunately, everyone was silent for a long time, but no one sat down.
"Master Lu, right? Why did you arrest us?"
Perhaps because Lu Li was wearing the black uniform of a third-grade guard, the middle-aged man's tone was still unkind, but slightly restrained.
"Who is this?" Lu Li looked at Tan Long.
Tan Long said expressionlessly: "This is shopkeeper Sun, who is in charge of land transportation and escort business in Beicheng."
"Oh." Lu Li nodded, and when he saw that the other party was wearing a brocade robe, his face was shiny, and his belly was as swollen as a ball, he smiled and said, "It seems that this is indeed a fat job. Shopkeeper Sun's life should be good. "
Shopkeeper Sun's expression changed slightly. He was unsure of what Lu Li meant and said sternly: "I don't understand what you are talking about. If you came here just to talk nonsense, then we have to leave!"
After saying that, he made a gesture to leave, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the others to see if anyone was following him.
It's a pity that no one here is stupid. Everyone can see that Lu Li is very confident. Who dares to offend him without knowing what he relies on
At this moment, Shopkeeper Sun was in a dilemma.
"Shopkeeper Sun, I'm actually very talkative and I like to make friends the most." Lu Li said with a smile: "If you give me face today, I will naturally give you face. If you lose my face, everyone will be embarrassed." face."
"Please take a seat."
After saying that, Lu Li stretched out his hand and motioned for Shopkeeper Sun to sit down.
"Who do you think you are, you want me to give you face?" Shopkeeper Sun was so angry that the fat on his face trembled, and he said coldly: "I have been working for Prince Yan's Mansion for ten years. Not only do I work hard, but I also work hard and bear no complaints. You are the only one. Junior, why did you arrest me?"
When he said these words, many people showed expressions of deep understanding on their faces.
Many of these people were old people from Prince Yan's residence. Lu Li kidnapped them directly, which somewhat made them feel resentful.
What's more, to be able to sit in their current position, regardless of ability, who doesn't have a background behind them? With such a complicated situation in Prince Yan's Mansion, if he had really worked hard, he would have been eaten away to the point where no bones would be left.
Therefore, many people did not take the threat in Lu Li's words seriously.
When Lu Li saw this situation, he didn't get angry, but his smile faded, "Shopkeeper Sun really wants to lose my face?"
"snort!"
Shopkeeper Sun snorted coldly, "Boy, the water in Prince Yan's Mansion is deep. Don't think that you can walk sideways just because you get close to Manager Yuan. Be careful, you won't even know how to die in the end!"
"Okay, then Shopkeeper Sun, please come back." Lu Li did not press any further, and raised his hand to signal Tan Long to let him go.
