No one would think that Qianfang Zhangwu did anything wrong. After all, a few front teeth and two injured feet in the inner house were indeed too cruel. If he didn't pay for some soup and medicine, he really didn't treat the bad gamblers in the place as human beings.
In addition, some bad people who knew the truth of the matter beforehand, and even secretly thought in their hearts, "When will it be my turn?" were making noises on the side. This made the hurtful man nod his head towards Zhang Wu without saying a word, and he was already prepared to pay for it. But the fifty silver offered by the opponent's lion is definitely not enough.
But no one thought that this would be a trap.
Zhang Wu was also unambiguous. When he got to the backyard, he gave the other party a cup of tea, and he looked like he was haggling over the price of soup and medicine in a friendly manner. He even seemed to be partial to this man. The man's guard quickly dropped, and he finally picked up the tea and took a big sip. Maybe he was really thirsty.
Then, there is no more.
The medicinal tea that can knock down a big buffalo has almost the same taste as the ordinary roadside crude tea. After being prepared with special methods, not only ordinary people can't taste it, but even the people who make this tea can't drink it themselves. , can only be identified by some auxiliary means.
After three gulps of tea and just five breaths, the man collapsed. No matter whether he is a fifth- or sixth-grade warrior or a seventh- or eighth-grade warrior, he can just stab his heart with a knife to get rid of the problem. It does not bleed and is easy to take care of. The corpse was stuffed into the barrel and left there for two or three days without any problem. At night, I called a cart from Shouguan, spent two small coins to go out of the city, dumped it into a new pit in the mass grave, covered it with a little soil, and that was it.
And if there is one, then there are two. That night, a total of four bad guys were "crash", and Qianfang's waist knife "had" to intervene. Why didn't the person who was invited to the backyard to drink tea come out? No one cared. .
To be precise, normal people who come to make money don't care.
As for those who are not normal people who come in to make money, even if they react a little slower, four lives will still be felt in danger.
So one by one left Qianfang without leaving any trace.
But people always need a place to stay, right? Whether it is an inn or a rented townhouse, there is always a place to go. After leaving Qianfang, you have to go your own way. And these roads have become the last part of most of their lives.
Zhang Wu and others did not follow Qianfang to guard against a surprise attack. Once the Qianfang is breached, the impact will be devastating.
Just like last time, ten people died, but none of the gamblers inside were injured, which made Qianfang's reputation famous. It means that it is absolutely safe for gamblers to play in the venue. That’s why the number of customers increased instead of decreasing.
Otherwise that's another story.
Just like what Bai Lang had arranged before, the waist knives that followed these ill-intentioned people came from Qu Feng's men, and were specially used to make a living for the surrounding merchants. Although the waist knives in his hands were not ordinary for killing, they were not suitable for sap beatings. But he did a lot of half-way interceptions. And after yesterday's discussion between Bai Lang and Liu Xu and several other Hongdao people, new people were added.
The next day, people who went out to make a living did not know what was happening on the streets where they were coming and going. Even the blood stains on the ground were washed away by the people from the longevity hall for money.
The only people who really know what happened are not only the sword shop itself, but also the people from the opposite sword shop and Yu Zhong who came in and prepared to kill and replace them.
Not counting the four people in Qianfang who were killed by Zhang Wuyao, there were a total of twenty-three people from Lin Dao Guan and Yu Zhong who were intercepted and killed on the road at night, or were attacked and killed by street wanderers who found out where they were staying early. . There are no masters, but they are all the main ones in killing, seventh and eighth grade warriors.
Neither the murderer nor the slain made any noise. The yamen are even more spectators. It was surging secretly, and everyone who saw it under the water understood that this was Tang Yan's opportunity to kill, and he struck out ruthlessly and decisively. The loss of more than twenty lives in one night was unheard of in the killing scene in the sword hall. Common.
Of course, no one thought this was the end of the matter. Next, it depends on what backup plan the killed party will have.
"Zhentang, when did you say the other side was killed?"
Not only Zhang Wu was already gearing up, but Wang Bing, who was usually in charge of the water and money accounts, was also stuck in the field, tied up with arm guards and iron bars, ready to fight at any time. Even Yu Ping is the same, even if he can't fight with others, he must clearly set his attitude and advance with others.
Bailang sat in the public house, looking through the business accounts and detailed slips recently handed over by the Kuang family. One by one, the progress of the Kuang family's business during this period, as well as their income and expenditure, were laid out in detail.
"Why are you anxious? What matters now is the determination of both sides. Whoever cannot keep his composure will most likely lose the opportunity. Besides, wouldn't you be dizzy after being severely beaten yesterday? Always be cautious. Just keep an eye on it. Don't worry, I guess nothing will happen in the next two or three days. And it's not very likely that they will continue to choose our Qianfang as a breakthrough point in the future."
"Ah? Why?"
"Why? Because you were very tough in the last assassination of the secret guards, and I, the town hall, showed even toughness in yesterday's ambush. They say you have to pick the soft ones when eating peaches in the middle of the night. It's not good for them if we are so tough. Isn't that right?" Bailang said easily, while carefully turning over the things he had sorted out.
Then Bailang turned to Wang Dong and said, "Have you found someone to reconcile the Kuang family's accounts?"
"That's right, no problem."
"Well, but this is not enough. The Kuang family's business is not unique in Yongchuan City, and the sales in many cities have not yet been opened. Although Kuang Yingxiong is still in charge now, their business methods are still too single and need to be mixed in. Something of the style of our knife shop.”
After a pause, Bai Lang continued to say to Wang Bing: "If you do this, tell Kuang Yingxiong and ask him which firms in Yongchuan City are competing with him, and then find out the backgrounds of these firms and try it out to see if you can. For Kuang Yingxiong to take over these businesses, it will cost a little money at most, and it doesn't have to be swallowed up in one go. It's okay to buy in bit by bit.
Do you get me? "
"Hehe, don't worry, Zhentang, I understand. I will go and tell Kuang Yingxiong in person."
Only then did Bai Lang close the account in his hand with satisfaction.
The Kuang family's business has now been completely transferred to the knife shop, and Kuang Yingxiong and his family have become the "buddies" of the knife shop. Just making money step by step is a waste of the benefits of the new identity of the knife studio.
At the same time, Bailang also wanted to give it a try to see how much of a deterrent the identity of a knife shop can be in serious business. He won't kill them all. What he wants to do is to try to see how the Kuang family's original business can increase after being transferred to the knife shop. Only in this way can we make an explanation to the superiors.
Finally, Bai Lang picked up a red gold-gilded invitation that had been on his desk for two days, waved it, and asked: "How many people in our knife studio have received this invitation for the big show at Shuanghualou? Who has it?" Decided to go? Have you heard the news?"
