He performed a great ceremony, raising his hands high before slowly kneeling down, resting his forehead on his hands, without standing up.
Fengjiu had just woken up, and even though she had washed up, she still looked sleepy. She paused for a moment as she yawned, narrowed her eyes, and lazily leaned on the handrail at the bottom of the stairs, looking at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground.
After seeing his master perform such a great ceremony, the middle-aged man behind him hurried forward and knelt respectfully behind him.
"Chu Xiong?" she asked lazily, her mind turning around, and then she looked at the man kneeling at the stairs. Just when she was about to ask who he was, she saw Du Fan walk out of the room and come behind her.
"Master, he is the owner of the black market." Du Fan said, fanning gently with the fan in his hand, looking at the person kneeling below.
"Oh? The owner of the black market?" Fengjiu raised her eyebrows, looked at the person below, and asked, "What are you doing here?" As she spoke, she walked down step by step slowly.
Hearing her words, Chu Xiong panicked and said, "Ghost Doctor, I'm here to apologize. I didn't discipline my subordinates well. Please forgive me, Ghost Doctor."
Feng Jiu walked past her and sat down at a table on the first floor. She said slowly, "It is normal to do some secret business in the underground black market, but I cannot stand this kind of kidnapping and selling of women, especially since the people you are touching are my people."
Cold sweat broke out on Chu Xiong's forehead. As he listened to her words, he felt a powerful pressure suppressing him, as if he would be crushed to death here as long as she had a thought, and he didn't dare to breathe.
He held his breath, his heart tightening. Even though the other party spoke casually, he was still frightened. He immediately said, "Ghost Doctor, I really didn't know about this. In the future, I will definitely control my men and will not make the same mistake again."
The shopkeeper and his waiter personally served them wine and food, and then retreated respectfully, not daring to even look at the two people who were still kneeling on the ground.
Feng Jiu poured a glass of wine and took a sip. After a long while, she said, "Go back! Keep an eye on your men. If they do it again, it's one thing if I don't know about it, but if I do know about it, I won't let you off as easily as I did this time."
"Yes, thank you Ghost Doctor. I will definitely restrain my men and will never do it again." He said hurriedly, and after feeling the pressure covering him dissipate from his head, he took a breath, quickly stood up and retreated, leaving quickly with his men without daring to stay.
Du Fan sat down next to them and asked, "Master, did you spare their lives because you cleared out the black market warehouse?"
Feng Jiu smiled and said, "This is just one of the reasons. Secondly, he did not kill again and came to our house to apologize. No matter what his intentions were, since he dared to come to our house to apologize, his crime should not be punished by death. Moreover, we do not have any deep hatred with him. Killing the four elders under his command and clearing out his black market warehouse can also be regarded as teaching him a lesson."
Over the years, she had seen so many things, and her character had changed. Sometimes, if something or someone was not guilty of a crime punishable by death, she was willing to spare their lives and give them a chance.
