"This... sir, are you kidding me?"
Faced with the request made by Shopkeeper Wan, Boss Meng stood there stunned for a long time.
It took nearly half a minute before he responded.
"Sir, after all, we are also a family. If you treat a family like this, how will others view it if word spreads?"
"Well, since this young master is your friend, I am willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver as compensation. This will be enough to make up for his losses!"
"After all, this young master didn't hurt a single hair from beginning to end. On the contrary, he was one of my people, and he was taught a terrible lesson."
"Sir, in addition, I have also prepared a table of wine and food in the brothel. You and your little brother can come together. In this way, I can also fulfill my friendship as a landlord and entertain you well!"
Boss Meng was not willing to give up all his family property anyway. He spoke immediately, hoping to take this opportunity to quarrel with Shopkeeper Wan in front of him.
But I didn't expect that the other party would be selfless.
The moment he heard this statement, he waved his hand and gave a cold shout.
"Meng, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"From today on, there is no place for you in Jingzhou!"
"A mere ten thousand taels is not enough to wash away the things you have done before. Today, you either do what I say, or you and I have a good showdown!"
Shopkeeper Wan rolled up his sleeves at the end.
Seeing this scene, Boss Meng's face darkened.
At this moment, he had realized that the guy in front of him might not let him go easily.
But fortunately, I have another backer.
Now, since we are facing people in the officialdom, that backer may come in handy!
"Shop Manager Wan, don't be impatient. Let's just wait a moment!"
Thinking of his trump card, Boss Meng immediately cast a careless eye, then turned around and glanced at the slave behind him.
Just by barely hitting the opponent, he already understood what Boss Meng meant.
At that moment, without anyone noticing, the slave immediately slipped out of the crowd.
Only Liu Yidou noticed all this!
"This man surnamed Meng probably went to call for help again. Seeing that Shopkeeper Wan is the Prime Minister's man, he still dares to take action. I'm afraid this time, he will start from the officialdom!"
Seeing such a scene, the thoughtful Liu Yidou realized everything in an instant.
At the moment, he folded his arms and simply watched.
At this moment, Liu Yidou had made up his mind. No matter how far things went, today, he must let Boss Meng see how powerful he was!
Originally, Liu Yidou was a little resistant to Shopkeeper Wan's approach, but he heard that the other party's family asked Boss Meng to hand over the family property to him.
Liu Yidou was naturally so happy!
At the moment, Liu Yidou simply allowed Shopkeeper Wan to step in and treat him as a way to repay his boss's favor!
But he saw Shopkeeper Wan's face was gloomy, his eyes were staring at him, and he stood there in silence for a long time.
Until the end, the patience in my heart was finally completely exhausted.
"Boy, what are you doing?"
"I'm warning you, your crooked ways won't work here!"
Shopkeeper Wan spoke with a hint of threat, but unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a voice sounded from outside the crowd.
"Hahaha, let me see, which one is next to the Prime Minister?"
Along with a burst of laughter, a middle-aged man with a big belly separated from the crowd and appeared in front of Shopkeeper Wan.
In an instant, the two people looked at each other, with some doubts showing in their pupils.
In the end, Shopkeeper Wan was the first to speak. Facing the stranger in front of him, he immediately asked: "Who are you? Do you want to protect Boss Meng when you come forward today?"
"Who am I, you ask?" After hearing this statement, a bit of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's pupils.
The next second, the corners of his mouth turned up, followed by a sneer.
Then, he pointed at Shopkeeper Wan and scolded directly: "You ask me, but I also want to ask you. You guy, I don't even know you. I think you are obviously pretending!"
"You said you are the Prime Minister's subordinate, why haven't I seen you before?"
"It's just a dream to fish in troubled waters here!"
As soon as these words came out, Shopkeeper Wan's face darkened, and at the same time, a burst of discussion broke out among the crowd.
"This is the city lord. Even the city lord Ouyang doesn't know him. How could he be one of the prime minister's subordinates?"
"I don't think so. There is no need for the Prime Minister's people to be in Jingzhou City. They might just come from other places!"
"So what? He is not the Prime Minister after all! This Ouyang City Lord has been tyrannical in Jingzhou City and has accumulated a huge family fortune over the years! The Prime Minister previously stood by and watched all this, which is equivalent to agreeing with him. Even the Prime Minister did not. Say more, a He’s just a subordinate, how dare he talk too much?”
After hearing this discussion, Shopkeeper Wan immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him.
At that moment, the coldness in his eyes was even worse, and there was a sense of disgust in his heart.
"As a parent official, you tolerate shielding. Is this what you do as an official of Shu?"
"Boss Meng does all kinds of evil, bullies men, dominates women, and deals with others. He has no integrity at all. Not only do you not know how to punish him, but you protect him!"
"Do you think that as the city lord, no one can do anything to you?"
"Haha!" Faced with what Shopkeeper Wan said, City Lord Ouyang across from him sneered.
"For so many years, the Prime Minister has not shown up to stop me, so why do you say more in front of me?"
"Let me tell you, you are just a little minion. What qualifications do you have to take care of things that the Prime Minister doesn't care about?"
"What's more, your identity has not been confirmed yet. It is just a token. Why do you prove your identity?"
"Let's do this. I'll give you a choice. As long as you surrender now, I don't have to force you... I'll find someone to report to the Prime Minister after I get back. If I can prove your identity, I'll consider how to deal with it then!"
"If you dare to resist, I guarantee you will regret it. I warn you, this is Jingzhou City, and it is my territory!"
"Okay, okay!" Hearing this, Shopkeeper Wan laughed angrily.
At the moment, he roared angrily.
He turned around again and gave Liu Yidou a wry smile.
"Sir, I originally thought I could protect you, but now it seems that even I can't protect myself!"
"Let's do this, you just leave, and I will take responsibility for this matter. I just hope that it won't involve you in the end!"
After saying this, Shopkeeper Wan didn't understand Liu Yidou's response at all, so he immediately turned his head and looked at City Lord Ouyang opposite him coldly.
"I have worked hard for the Kingdom of Shu and traveled abroad for more than ten years, just for the Prime Minister's first words. Now, I have returned with success!"
"I want to see today, what can you, a mere city lord, do to me?"
