Chapter 218: There is someone above! People from Hengshan!

~14 min read 2,724 words

For the past two days, Xiucai had been constantly modifying his novel according to Fan Danniang's opinions, until he finally collapsed. The point that made him collapse was that Fan Danniang insisted on him writing the "Carefree Prince" into a very disgusting villain.

He really wanted to tell Fan Danniang that this was a character created with the Prince as the prototype. According to your modification, the final result would be everyone happily getting a nine-clan elimination game.

Xiucai didn't talk nonsense, directly refused Fan Danniang's request, and the two quarreled very fiercely. Guo Furong, who hadn't had time to understand the cause of the matter, immediately pulled Xiucai aside and scolded him fiercely.

Old Bai smiled apologetically on the side.

Fan Danniang said sarcastically, "It's your first time writing, it's normal not to understand, I'll teach you, you have to learn to listen, young people are impulsive and don't listen to advice, it's very difficult to get ahead in this life."

Guo Furong felt that these words were a bit harsh, but thinking of making a lot of money, she subconsciously swallowed her anger and squeezed out a smiling face, "Fan Danniang, don't be angry, I said I would talk to him well."

Fan Danniang turned her head to the side arrogantly.

Lu Xiucai said irritably, "This old witch doesn't want her life, she wants to change the character of Carefree Prince, I didn't agree, so we quarreled."

Guo Furong doubted, "How does she want to change?"

Xiucai whispered in her ear for a long time. Guo Furong's face was first shocked, and then visibly red, not shy, but extreme anger.

Xiucai had tried his best to describe it in civilized vocabulary, but Guo Furong still heard all kinds of unbearable things between the lines. If this was written into a book and spread to the market, even if her father Guo the Hero came, he wouldn't be able to protect her.

Old Bai swallowed his saliva silently, the more he looked at Fan Danniang, the more he felt that her life would not be long.

"Mountain-shattering Sea!!!"

Guo Furong jumped up and gave a mountain-shattering sea, but was hugged around the waist by Xiucai and couldn't hit Fan Danniang.

"Ouch! What are you doing!"

Fan Danniang was so scared that she jumped on the spot, hurriedly retreated, and said in a panic, "I tell you, don't mess around, I have someone above me!"

"I don't care if you have someone!" Guo Furong bared her fangs and brandished her claws and wanted to make Fan Danniang look good.

Xiucai desperately pulled her while shouting, "I won't write anymore, you find someone else to cooperate, no delivery!"

Fan Danniang sneered, "If you don't write, you can, just compensate for my losses according to what is written in the contract."

Hearing the word compensation, Old Bai, Xiucai, and Guo Furong were all stunned.

"Who compensates whom?"

Guo Furong, who was not deeply involved in the world, still fell into a pit, didn't notice the tricks Fan Danniang made on the contract, and only knew that she had been deceived after they read the contract once.

Old Bai said anxiously, "Why didn't you look at it twice when you signed it."

Guo Furong said angrily, "Who knew she used ink drops to block Xiucai's name!"

"You are really a treacherous merchant!" Lu Xiucai pointed at Fan Danniang with his finger and said through gritted teeth.

"No treachery, no business." Fan Danniang smiled triumphantly.

Guo Furong looked sad, not knowing how to compensate for the sky-high liquidated damages. Xiucai was even more desperate. Old Bai thought for a while and went to the second floor, and not long after, he took down a bundle, which was full of valuable jewelry.

Funerary objects unearthed from Prince Xin's tomb, Old Bai gave them to Fan Danniang as liquidated damages, just to throw the hot potato to others.

It's just that Tong Xiangyu was a bit reluctant.

But the situation had become like this, and she had no way to see death and not save it. At most, she would educate the two well afterwards.

Fan Danniang left the contract, hugged the bundle happily and walked out of the inn. She hadn't walked a few steps before she ran into Chu Yang. Fan Danniang was stunned for a moment, feeling that the person in front of her was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

Chu Yang just glanced at the bundle in her arms and knew who she was, smiled meaningfully, and brushed past Fan Danniang.

Returning to Tongfu Inn, Tong Xiangyu's crying echoed in the lobby, everyone was comforting her, Guo Furong stood on the side like a child who made a mistake, not daring to speak.

"Anyway, it's a sum of ill-gotten wealth, why does Manager Tong regret it?"

Tong Xiangyu looked up and saw Chu Yang, her heart stopped for half a beat, and a chill rushed from her tailbone to the top of her head.

Chu Yang's meaning was obvious, he knew that those were the funerary objects in Prince Xin's tomb.

Old Bai reacted faster than Tong Xiangyu, knelt in front of Chu Yang with the momentum of a thunderbolt, hugged Chu Yang's thigh and wailed, "Prince, this time it's really not me who stole it, I never touch the things in the tomb!"

Tong Xiangyu came back to her senses later, and also knelt down, trembling and saying, "Prince, spare my life, that thing has nothing to do with us, it was left here by a grave robber named Lei Laowu last time, it was my temporary greed, and I didn't hand it over in time."

Guo Furong and Lu Xiucai were full of confusion, not understanding what the three of them were talking about. Looking at the Manager's performance, the matter seemed quite serious.

Chu Yang pushed Old Bai away with his finger, then sat down and smiled, "I know you didn't rob the tomb, you don't have that ability, I have already ordered others to handle this matter."

Old Bai looked at Chu Yang with eager eyes and asked, "Prince, are we okay?"

Chu Yang didn't answer, but asked, "Did you have any crooked thoughts, wanting to dismantle those jewelry and sell them one by one?"

"Yes... I know this is selling stolen goods, and I will be caught." Old Bai was dejected, the idea was his, and he definitely couldn't run away.

Tong Xiangyu didn't speak, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Seeing the two scared like this, Chu Yang didn't tease them anymore, smiled, "But seeing that you two know your mistakes and are willing to give up those things for your friends, the punishment will be exempted."

The two looked at Chu Yang in surprise.

Tong Xiangyu happily ordered Dazui to cook a table of good dishes to thank Chu Yang.

Chu Yang refused their kindness and returned to the room to rest.

Early the next morning, Constable Xing came in a hurry from the outside, and just sat down and picked up the water pot on the table and poured it into his mouth.

"Constable Xing! How can other guests drink like this?"

Tong Xiangyu snatched the water pot from Constable Xing's hand, looking at the other party with resentment.

"I walked in a hurry, my throat was on fire, let me drink some!"

Constable Xing reached out to grab it, Tong Xiangyu hurriedly avoided it, Old Bai handed a teacup from the side, Constable Xing helplessly held the teacup and took a few sips.

Old Bai asked curiously, "Why did you come at this point, we just opened."

Constable Xing yawned and smiled bitterly, "I was busy all night."

Old Bai smiled, "What can keep you busy all night?"

Constable Xing shook his head, "It's all those Jinyiwei from the capital. They were originally investigating the theft of Prince Xin's tomb, but they suddenly stopped investigating and let the constables and yamen servants of the county government find a person named Fan Danniang."

"God knows who this Fan Danniang is, but they want to find someone, and we can't move, so we had to ask one by one, turned the entire Shibalipu upside down, and only met in Seven Heroes Town in the second half of the night!"

"My dear mother, this Fan Danniang is very fierce, Jinyiwei caught her, and she dared to bite!"

"While biting, she shouted, I have someone above me!"

……………………

Fan Danniang became a scapegoat, and the grave robbery storm finally came to an end. The investigation about Prince Xin's tomb was still continuing, and Left Thousand Households would come to Tongfu Inn to report the situation to Chu Yang from time to time.

The Demon Sect is a strange organization. Although it is a human race, it is an enemy of the human race, and at the same time, it is not close to the Demon Race, and it is also in a hostile state with the Demon Race. What they hate most is even the demon people.

The Demon Sect organization is very secret. Every time they came out before the world changed, they would stir up a bloody storm. Instead, after the world changed, they suddenly became low-key and acted sneakily.

The blood sacrifice bead used by the son of Prince Pingnan to destroy the Emperor's protective dragon vein has a great connection with the Demon Sect.

Zhuge Zhengwo had arranged several encirclements and suppressions against the Demon Sect, but without exception, they all failed. This group of people hid deeper and deeper, making it even harder to find. The information left in Prince Xin's tomb was very helpful for finding the whereabouts of the Demon Sect.

The importance of the matter alarmed Zhuge Zhengwo, who was sitting in the capital, and he appeared on Taiping Mountain with the divine catchers under his command.

Left Thousand Households' report ended here, and what happened later, I have to wait for a few days to know.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and Prince Xin's tomb is just one of them. Chu Yang felt that Zhuge Zhengwo might return disappointed. Those demons would not easily expose their whereabouts.

But Chu Yang was looking forward to the development of the matter, looking forward to Left Thousand Households bringing him surprises next time.

Days passed by, Left Thousand Households didn't wait, but Tongfu Inn waited for an old friend.

Manager Qian.

And it was Manager Qian who was covered in bruises.

If you didn't know, you would think he met mountain bandits somewhere.

Chu Yang was eating breakfast, and suddenly heard movement outside the door. He looked up and saw Manager Qian walking in with dark circles under his eyes, leaning on a wooden stick and limping, not like a bank manager, but like a refugee who came to Seven Heroes Town.

"Oh my, Manager Qian, what's wrong with you?"

Old Bai hurriedly greeted him, helped the swaying Manager Qian to the table and sat down.

"Looking at your appearance, it should be your wife who poisoned you again? I have to say, she is too ruthless, not afraid of breaking you?"

Tong Xiangyu looked at Manager Qian with worry, fearing that he would disappear completely one day.

"Don't talk about my business, Manager Tong, hurry up and run for your life, it will be too late if you are late."

Manager Qian said with a sad face, his voice very urgent.

"Run? Why should I run for my life?" Tong Xiangyu looked at Manager Qian with a confused face.

Manager Qian explained, "Because the jewelry you sold me last time was too cheap, my wife thought we had an affair, she is coming to settle accounts with you!"

"Me and you?" Tong Xiangyu looked at Manager Qian with disgust, "It's not like everyone has a special taste like your wife."

"Don't make fun of me, Manager Tong, I am really worried about you!" Manager Qian was almost crying with anxiety.

Tong Xiangyu said helplessly, "You should explain this little thing to her well!"

Manager Qian rolled up his sleeves with tears in his eyes, revealing his blue and purple arms, "I explained it to her that day, she couldn't listen at all, and beat me into this virtue."

Tong Xiangyu said angrily, "Then return the jewelry to me! I can't bear to sell it anyway."

Manager Qian shook his head, "It's too late, Manager Tong, you'd better think about what to do when my wife comes? Ordinary people can't deal with her."

Tong Xiangyu sneered, "Coincidentally, everyone in Tongfu Inn, from guests to waiters, is not an ordinary person. Will I be afraid of her? You'd better let your wife be careful."

Which family's peerless expert dares not put the Prince in their eyes?

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Tong Xiangyu, Manager Qian felt a bit guilty, got up and said goodbye, "I still want to advise everyone, run quickly, my wife is the most unreasonable person."

Old Bai smiled, "It's okay, we are best at serving people with martial arts here."

Manager Qian leaned on the wall and walked out tremblingly.

"Manager Qian is really fierce, she doesn't even reason. It's all up to you, Zhantang!"

"No problem, leave it to me."

"And me, Manager."

"Okay okay okay, then I'll trouble you too, Xiao Guo."

"That's about it."

Guo Furong said with a smile, "Even if we can't beat her, isn't there Senior Brother, anyway, he is idle all day and has nothing to do."

"Cough cough." Chu Yang was choked by eating and couldn't speak.

"Don't talk nonsense, the Prince is a distinguished guest, how can a distinguished guest take action!" Tong Xiangyu glared at Guo Furong, fearing that she would scare away her God of Wealth.

"Manager, your Tongfu Inn is quite lively all day, much livelier than in the capital." Chu Yang smiled and got up, went to the second floor, and prepared to take a nap before going out for a spin.

He planned to stay until there was a result in Prince Xin's tomb before leaving, and then go south to Jinling City. I don't know how far the research of the Firearm Battalion has reached after so many days.

It's really curious.

Although the plan was good, Chu Yang slept directly until evening. After he got up and ate, it was a bit dark outside.

Old Bai finished cleaning the lobby and was preparing to close the door to rest, when a burst of urgent knocking suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Our shop is closed!"

Old Bai shouted toward the outside.

Thump thump thump! The knocking sound kept ringing.

"Yo, it's estimated that it's for staying in the inn."

Old Bai raised his mouth. In these days, except for the Prince, there were no other people staying in the inn.

"Isn't that just right, Manager Tong's jewelry money can finally be earned back a little."

Chu Yang joked on the side.

Old Bai laughed, reached out and pulled out the door bolt. As soon as he opened the door, three figures rushed in, knocking Old Bai over.

"What's the rush! There are plenty of rooms!"

Old Bai complained, stood up and found that the three people were all holding swords, looking fierce.

He subconsciously prepared for battle.

The leader of the three looked more mature, with two mustaches on his mouth, and was the most burly, while the other two were thinner.

"Where is Mo Xiaobei?!"

The three looked around, and then asked in unison.

"Looking for Xiaobei?" Old Bai immediately became alert, "What is the matter with the three of you looking for Xiaobei?" 【218-

"Are you, a waiter, in any position to manage this?" One of them didn't take Old Bai seriously and strode toward the backyard.

Old Bai's figure flickered, and he blocked the man's path without a sound.

"Yo, you've got some skills."

"Trouble, dear guest, please say whatever you have to say in the main hall."

"I refuse!"

As soon as these words were spoken, both men launched their attacks, instantly igniting the battle.

Chu Yang, turning into a spectator, stood up, walked to the counter, took out a pot of wine to pour for himself, and watched the two fight. (End of chapter)
