In front of Fangcao Pavilion.
Zhou Dagu hesitated and said, "What business is there that makes you so mysterious?"
Zhu Jinwen pulled Zhou Dagu into the house: "Don't worry! This is definitely a profitable business!"
"You're cheating... no!" Zhu Jinwen looked at Zhou Dagu's face and immediately changed his words.
"It's you who got rid of the Yang family and brought harm to the people. In the eyes of some people, you can't hide it at all. You don't know that some small business traders have begun to enshrine your longevity tablets in their homes!"
"Everyone thinks you are the reincarnation of Saint Shang!"
Zhou Dagu was also a little surprised. He knew that business methods from another world would have a certain impact on this economically backward world.
But I didn't expect that it would have such a big impact on the small vendors in Qingxue Mansion.
You know, not everyone can add the word "holy" after their name.
"Does the business you are talking about have anything to do with this?"
Zhu Jinwen nodded solemnly: "There is a group of businessmen sitting on the second floor. The business they do is a bit shady!"
"However, they didn't break the law of winning, they just brushed aside!"
"Now, the entire Qingxue Mansion is surrounded by border troops. Their goods cannot be transported. I want to ask you for a solution!"
Zhou Dagu snorted coldly: "Brother Zhu, who do you think I am? How can I help these bad people when I read books about saints and sages!"
"You really won't help?"
"Definitely not helping!"
"Then I can only return these three thousand taels to them!"
"How many?"
Zhu Jinwen took out three thousand taels of silver notes from his arms and waved them in front of his face: "Three thousand taels!"
Zhou Dagu has very fast hands.
Zhu Jinwen felt his eyes flash as three banknotes disappeared in front of him.
Zhou Dagu stepped forward and turned around, frowning: "Let's go! Don't delay the righteous merchants from making money!"
Private room on the second floor.
There are two people sitting there, one has a beard and the other looks like a scholar.
Both of them did not hide their true faces. They were the long-bearded elders and scholar helmsmen who held the meeting opposite the Lotus Sect.
There was another person standing on the window sill, looking at the scenery outside.
This man was wearing a Confucian robe and had a handsome face. The weather was cool, but he was shaking a folding fan in his hand.
Elder Changxu was a little anxious: "Sir, if you are worried about Zhou Mingzhou recognizing you, you should go back earlier. You don't have to see him!"
When the young man with a hundred faces in front of him spoke, his voice was white and red: "I'm afraid he won't help us!"
The scholar pointed to the box on the side, full of arrogance: "I can tell that Zhou Dagu is a man. He has lived a poor life since he was a child. No matter how rich this kind of person is, his greed for gold and silver is engraved in his bones! There is so much gold and silver in , he will definitely help us!"
Bai Huahong let out a long sigh.
She was afraid that Zhou Dagu would help them!
She wanted Zhou Dagu to always be clean.
If so, getting involved with the Lotus Sect will affect his future.
In early summer outside the window, two fallen leaves hung on the branches. They were blown off by the strong wind, which made Bai Huahong even more upset.
"Squeak~"
The door was pushed open from the outside, and two scholars walked in.
When Bai Huahong saw the handsome scholar who came in later, she quickly averted her eyes and looked sideways at the willow branches outside, but her heart was still in the room.
Zhu Jinwen quickly introduced: "This is Shopkeeper Feng, and this is Shopkeeper Tie!"
Elder Changxufeng, the white-faced iron scholar stood up and kept a friendly merchant's smile on his face, and bowed to Zhou Dagu.
"Following me is our Qingxue Mansion's Poet Saint, Zhou Mingzhou!"
Zhou Dagu returned the favor with a smile: "Hello, you two. I heard that you two are doing business, but I don't know what kind of business you are doing?"
Elder Feng looked at Zhu Jinwen, who turned around and exited very wisely: "Let's talk, I bought a few pig demon palms today. They are used to beautify and replenish blood. Brother Zhou will bring some back later! Fifth brother has been greedy. Here’s this thing!”
He closed the door and there were only four people left inside.
Zhou Dagu had his back to the door. He didn't know who these people were. If he stayed closer to the door, he could run faster if there was anything he couldn't agree on.
Elder Feng nodded.
The iron helm master kicked his foot back, and a gust of gentle wind blew open the lid of the box weighing more than ten kilograms: "The five thousand taels previously were just a greeting gift. This thousand taels of gold is our sincerity to Zhou Mingzhou."
Zhou Dagu was stunned. He had thought that Zhu Jinwen was evil, but he never thought that this kid was so evil. He almost lost half of his money.
He lowered his head to look at the gold in the box, but actually observed the people in front of him.
A merchant who could easily take out so much gold would not be an unknown person, but judging from Zhu Jinwen's attitude, although he was a bridge builder, he was not familiar with the group of people in front of him, and he only wanted those few thousand taels of silver notes.
Zhou Dagu raised his head and looked at the young man standing on the window sill, who had been silent.
Zhu Jinwen did not introduce his identity. Presumably, he was not familiar with this person.
Elder Feng followed Zhou Dagu's gaze and turned back and introduced: "This is our boss. She doesn't like to communicate with others. I forgive Zhou Mingzhou!"
Zhou Dagu nodded, feeling more suspicious.
If you are doing business, you don’t want to communicate with others, or you are just pretending!
Otherwise, you are just afraid of revealing something when you open your mouth!
Zhou Dagu stood up and walked towards the scholar on the window sill. As soon as he got closer, he smelled a familiar smell.
"I've met my boss. I'm just a scholar. I don't know what kind of help you are asking me to do? But let's make it clear first that students' abilities are limited, and I can't do big things!"
Bai Huahong was nervous. She was confident in her disguise skills. When she assassinated a second-grade warrior, she was not discovered even close to him.
Zhou Dagu should... definitely not discover his true identity!
She was a little uneasy.
Elder Feng said: "I'll take care of this..."
Zhou Dagu turned around, looked directly into Elder Feng's eyes and said, "I want my boss to tell me!"
Bai Huahong had no choice but to change her voice and speak: "I have a batch of goods that I want to transport out of the city, but these things are not visible to the public. I heard that Zhou Mingzhou is smart and has acquaintances in the government office. I want you to give me some advice!"
Zhou Dagu looked at the back of her head. Warriors have feelings. He looked at it unabashedly, just to let the scholar in front of him reveal his flaws: "Why me?"
"There are many smart people. If you want to find connections, it's not impossible to ask someone to find Guo Fujun. Why does it have to be me?"
Bai Huahong didn't know why she was nervous. She thought that when she faced the second-grade strong man, she was not as panicked now: "Because..."
"It's not important anymore!" Zhou Dagu waved his hand and took another step forward.
"Young Master and I are very close to each other. If Young Master asks, I will try my best to help!" Zhou Dagu took a deep breath. He had already confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.
He should be happy, but now he is a little angry for some reason!
If something happens, you can't tell me directly, you have to pretend to be someone else to talk to me.
Don't you and I really have no trust at all?
Thinking of this, he took another step forward, and his body and Bai Huahong were almost touching each other: "Sir, look over there, that's the City Gate Army, I have acquaintances there!"
Bai Huahong was very nervous. She had never maintained such a posture with a man.
Shameful and shy!
The Iron Helmsman stood up and said, "Zhou Dagu, what are you doing?"
Zhou Mingzhou pretended to be confused: "Me? I'm helping you think of a solution!"
He suddenly approached Bai Huahong just to vent his dissatisfaction and tease her!
Whatever he really wanted to do, he would have done it long ago the night Bai Huahong got drunk!
Zhou Dagu sat down and said, "You don't know, but because of the Lotus Sect incident recently, the entire Qingxue Mansion has been under strict investigation!"
"I don't have many friends in Qingxue Mansion, but I have some foundation. I am smart and a philistine. If you use money to bribe me, you are taking the right step!"
Elder Feng looked happy but had not yet spoken.
Zhou Dagu stood up. He had doubts about Bai Huahong's identity. Now that she was with these two people, he was sure that she was related to the Lotus Sect.
He doesn’t want to deal with the Lotus Sect’s affairs!
Don’t even dare to care!
"However, I am also powerless. I am afraid that I won't be able to earn this money, brother!"
"How many of you!" Zhou Dagu stared at Bai Huahong who had been looking out the window: "Chicken soup is still being stewed at home! I won't accompany you anymore!"
He opened the door and left!
The iron helmsman was surprised: "Zhou Dagu refused without asking anything? Doesn't he love money?"
Elder Feng looked complicated: "Sir, Zhou Mingzhou didn't agree, what should we do next?"
Bai Huahong stared at the shadow of the boy downstairs.
Facing her subordinates, she regained her composure: "How many of us have died?"
"There are a total of fifty people in the city, and thirty of them died, including twenty-five of the fourth grade, four of the third grade, and one of the third grade and one realm! We have tried all the ways to get out of the city! None of them succeeded!"
Elder Feng was worried: "Those of us who can go out to perform tasks are all people who have no worries about avenging our great revenge. We will die if we die. But Holy Girl, you can't stay in Qingxue Mansion with me!"
The iron helmsman looked at the door and said in a deep voice: "Then Zhou Dagu must have a way, otherwise..."
"I said, don't provoke him!" Bai Huahong said coldly. If there weren't too many casualties this time, she really had no choice but to provoke Zhou Dagu.
"I'll think of a solution later! I already know Qingxue Mansion's plan. They will invite the Semi-Sacred Word after the Dragon Boat Festival, and then we will really be trapped in the city!"
"We have to leave the city before the Dragon Boat Festival!" Bai Huahong didn't notice that Zhou Dagu was no longer in the room, and his voice became colder when he spoke.
