Chapter 367: Let Them All Go

At this moment, Lao Zhangtou was also so scared he was wetting himself, and hurriedly crawled over.

"Yamada, she is my niece, she is really not the proprietress of any grocery store. If she were really some proprietress, would she still need to come here to do this dirty and tiring manual labor?"

"Remembered wrong?" Young Master Li stared fixedly at Bai Wei, "But your eyes, they really are alike. No, not alike, but exactly the same."

He suddenly reached out and pointed at Bai Wei, "Wipe the black soot off your face and let me see."

Bai Wei raised her eyes and stared coldly at Young Master Li.

At this moment, she felt the urge to kill in her heart.

This unscrupulous merchant not only betrayed Beijiang and betrayed Daliang, he was a traitor through and through.

In her Warehouse, there was still a Handgun that Zhou Yuchuan had given her.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up!" Young Master Li roared, his eyes turning blood-red and radiating a fierce aura.

He could now be certain that this woman was Bai Wei.

Yamada Ichiro also saw the signs and immediately waved his hand, "Men, close the doors of the main hall."

"Creak—"

The wooden doors of the main hall were closed, and over a dozen Fusang Ronin swarmed over, surrounding Bai Wei and Lao Zhangtou in the middle.

Young Master Li was extremely excited, his eyes flashing with a fanatical light.

"Shopkeeper Bai, it really is true that enemies are bound to meet! You harmed our Fuji Trading Firm so badly, and now heaven has eyes, actually sending you right before me."

Bai Wei slowly stood up; in this situation, explaining was useless.

She smiled and folded her arms.

"Young Master Li, long time no see."

"It really is you!" Young Master Li was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumping three feet high with joy.

He turned and ran to Yamada Ichiro, excited and incoherent.

"Yamada, this is the woman who harmed our Fuji Trading Firm! Now she has actually snuck into your place; she must be trying to spy for information. You must not let her off lightly."

"I have my own judgment." Yamada Ichiro pushed Young Master Li aside, his expression extremely gloomy.

He walked up to Bai Wei and looked her up and down.

"You are the shopkeeper of the Bai Grocery Store. You disguised yourself and snuck into our Fusang People's camp. Who sent you? What information are you trying to spy on?"

Lao Zhangtou had not expected things to turn out like this, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably, "Bai, what should we do?"

Bai Wei, however, was exceptionally calm and smiled at Yamada.

"Yamada, I am a businessperson. Disguising myself as a laborer to sneak into your camp was naturally because I wanted to do business."

Young Master Li was suddenly furious and pointed at Bai Wei's nose.

"Good, you really are shameless! You snatched our fabric business in the palace and occupied the grocery market in Yannan, and now you actually want to snatch business from us again! Let me tell you, Yamada has always cooperated with our Fuji Trading Firm; he will not do business with you."

Bai Wei curled her lips, "Whether Yamada cooperates with me or not, that is not for you to decide."

She spoke of doing business, but in reality, it was all to stall for time, just wanting to find an opportunity to take the Handgun from the Warehouse, shoot Yamada Ichiro dead, and also deal with this meddlesome Young Master Li.

"Yamada, don't do business with her; this woman is no good," Young Master Li looked anxiously at Yamada Ichiro.

It was a pity that Yamada Ichiro ignored him entirely, staring coldly at Bai Wei.

"Shopkeeper Bai, your reason is far too far-fetched. If you want to do business with us, you could have come to talk to me openly and honestly; there was no need to hide."

"You had better confess honestly what your purpose is in coming here, that way you might suffer a little less."

Bai Wei maintained her smile, but in her heart, she was cursing.

She hadn't expected this Fusang person to be so hard to fool, and his vigilance was too high.

"As for that, the reason for this matter, I will only tell you alone..." Bai Wei smiled, deliberately keeping him in suspense, then leaned closer to Yamada Ichiro, actually preparing to take the gun from the Warehouse to shoot Young Master Li, then take Yamada Ichiro hostage.

"Bang—"

A deafening, massive sound!

The wooden doors of the main hall were actually smashed open!

Dozens of figures rushed in violently!

Against the light, one figure was tall and slender, robes fluttering, incomparably cold and detached.

Immediately following, a cold and pleasant voice came through.

"Yamada Ichiro, who gave you the nerve to act wantonly on the soil of my Daliang!"

Upon hearing this voice, Bai Wei was so shocked she almost forgot to breathe.

Isn't this Zhou Yanli?

Why did he bring people to break in?

At a critical moment, why do old acquaintances keep showing up to ruin her plans?

"Zhou?" Yamada Ichiro's expression also changed. He looked up and saw several Samurai guards lying in a pool of blood outside the door, and his face immediately sank, "Why did you kill my men?"

Zhou Yanli stood at the doorway in white, looking indifferent.

Behind him followed dozens of personal guards holding Long Swords.

He spoke coldly, "Yamada, I heard you captured many of the city's commoners. Release them for me immediately; you are not qualified to capture people on our Daliang soil."

In the corner of the main hall, a group of women huddled together.

They had all been bought by Young Master Li from human traffickers. Originally, they had been terrified, shrinking in the corner and shaking uncontrollably.

However, when they saw Zhou Yanli arrive, they all seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, struggling to climb up one after another and rushing toward him.

"Zhou is here, we are saved."

"Save us!"

"Please save us and get us out of here."

Hearing the voices, Zhou Yanli tilted his head to glance at them and nodded slightly.

"You may leave."

After speaking, he signaled to the personal guards beside him.

"Send a few men to escort them out."

The women were overcome with excitement and immediately knelt on the ground to kowtow.

"Many thanks, National Preceptor, many thanks, National Preceptor."

Bai Wei stood to the side, completely stunned, muttering incessantly in her heart.

These people looked at Zhou Yanli as if they had seen a savior; they all jumped up.

What on earth had Zhou Yanli done for his status in the eyes of the people of Yannan City to be so high?

Seeing Zhou Yanli acting as if no one else were present and having his guards escort the women out, Yamada Ichiro was so angry his face turned green.

He stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice.

"Zhou, these are all female workers we purchased; by what right do you let them leave?"

Zhou Yanli did not even lift his eyelids. "They are people of Daliang and have nothing to do with you Fusang! You foreigners come to our Daliang to burn, kill, and pillage; do you really think there is no one left in our Daliang? Tell me where you have locked up the others and release them all immediately."

Yamada Ichiro was extremely furious, his chest heaving.

Beside him, a Samurai asked for his instructions, inquiring whether they should kill Zhou Yanli.

Yamada Ichiro's face was dark as he waved his hand to signal the people beside him to step back.

"Zhou, we have always respected you, and we hope you will treat us with the same courtesy."

"We received permission from General Yuan to station our camp in Yannan City; please do not make things difficult for us."

After speaking, he bowed slightly toward Zhou Yanli.
