He Xilou said: "Then you don't want to go quickly! If they still don't want to, you go and snatch the beauty who mortgaged us last time, as long as you give them a little bit of power, I don't believe they won't give in!"

"Yes! yes!" Logan agreed, exiting the room.

However, in a blink of an eye, Logan ran back to the room, with a panicked look on his face, and said, "Oh no, I saw at the door that the two boys from the Barking Sky Tower were coming towards our 'Qingfeng Mingyue Xuan' on the street!"

He Xilou was even more unhappy, and said: "We didn't go to them, they still dared to come to the door, but they were impatient?

Luo Gen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It's not just those two scholars, but also a lot of people brought by Miss Sima of the 'Wanjintang', Uncle Xiong and Second Master Deng are also inside!"

"Oh?" He Xilou was also a little moved when he heard this. The eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion is one of the few people on Okura Island who He Xilou does not dare to provoke, and this time she and the people from the Barking Tower, it must be no good thing. However, when Luo Gen said that Xiong Bailing and Deng Ran were also among them, his heart was slightly wider.

"There's no need to make a fuss, since they're here, we'll go out to greet them!"

He Xilou's study was on the third floor of "Qingfeng Mingyue Xuan", and he hurriedly got up and took Logan downstairs with him. Just came to the first floor, and before he could go out, Sima Rulan and the people of "Wanjintang" had already arrived at the door.

More than a dozen soldiers who came together were scattered around the door, and Sima Rulan walked in the front and had already broken straight into the door. The two elders of the "Wanjin Hall" were on the right and left of the city lord, the eldest lady, Xiong Bailing followed closely, and Hua Bushi and Cao Duyun fell on Zuihou. Xiong Bailing, the deputy hall master, looked calm, while Deng Ran's face was a little uncertain.

He Xilou hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Miss Sima is here, He Xilou has missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

Sima Rulan looked at He Xilou, glanced at Luo Gen beside him again, and said: "It's not guilty that He Da is in charge of not welcoming me, but your 'Mingyue Society' is really guilty of bullying people in Okura City, extorting merchants' silver taels, and forcibly seizing other people's properties!"

The eldest lady of the city lord really did not come well, as soon as she entered the door, she asked the teacher to ask for the crime, He Xilou's heart secretly drummed, but he said: "There is no such thing, our Qingfeng Mingyue Xuan is just an ordinary teahouse, a small business, how can we have any ability to blackmail others? ”

Sima Rulan snorted and said, "Miss Ben used to think that you were in the teahouse business, but when I came here to take a look today, I realized that it wasn't! How could there be so many guys with swords in ordinary teahouses, isn't it that the big man He has opened a martial arts hall in the teahouse?"

Qingfeng Mingyue Building was originally the main altar of the "Mingyue Society", and there were many guards to help them. Sima Rulan and his party were menacing, and more than a dozen people rushed straight into the door without greeting, and the gangs in the building immediately poured out. Most of these ** are the ruffians and hooligans brought by He Xilou from the "Tianguang Society" in Quanzhou, all holding swords and swords, looking fierce, and confronting the people of "Wanjintang", there are as many as twenty or thirty people, this kind of formation, of course, is not an ordinary teahouse can have.

He Xilou secretly complained in his heart, secretly scolding these guys for not being successful enough and more than failing, but he said: "He Mou has always liked to practice martial arts, and they are just a few disciples who are being accepted, but it makes Miss Sima laugh." ”

He glared at the group of gangsters as he spoke, and said, "Don't all retreat!"

Sima Rulan saw that the thugs of the "Bright Moon Society" retreated to the side, and said: "He Da Master, yesterday ** sent Luo Gen to ask for the Bark Sky Tower in the east of the city to forcibly ask for 8,500 taels of silver, and forced the landlord to sign a contract for the transfer of the property, is there such a thing?"

He Xilou said: "Is the Bark Tianlou a restaurant or a restaurant, He doesn't know, where will he ask for any silver taels? ”

Sima Rulan frowned and said: "Bark Sky Tower is a newly opened dog training workshop, yesterday Rogan took two members of the 'Bright Moon Society' to extort silver taels, and if the persecution failed, he had to forcibly smash the building. Now that the landlord Young Master Hua and Cao Gongzi have reported to the City Lord's Mansion, Zang Dong, a beast tamer who is 'easy to pass', was also present at the time, and can be used as a witness, and there are many people inside and outside the Bark Sky Tower who have seen it with their own eyes, are they all defiling you?"

He Xilou's face sank, and he stared at Logan in a blink of an eye, and said, "What's going on, have you been to the 'Bark Tower' yesterday?"

Master Luo's face turned pale with fright, and said, "I did go there yesterday, and I heard from the big boss......

"Bastard thing!" He Xilou didn't wait for Luo Gen to finish speaking, he had already interrupted his words with an angry face, and scolded: "You are so bold! You dare to go to someone else's dog training workshop to make trouble without telling me!

Two thugs stepped forward and immediately grabbed their arms and took Logan down, while the other two dragged out the sticks. Logan howled: "The big boss spares his life, don't beat me!

The big stick is the thickness of a door bolt, and if this Master Luo's skinny and angular body is hit a hundred times, most of them will really "break the roots" on the spot.

He Xilou ignored Luo Gen's crying, and said to Sima Rulan: "It turned out to be Luo Gen, the slave of Yi Xuan, who carried He to the Bar Sky Tower to make trouble, I have ordered to severely punish this evil guy, and I also ask Miss Sima to read it and forgive me!"

This Third Master He is worthy of being the sworn brother of Deng Ran and Second Master Deng, and even the means of shirking responsibility and blaming his subordinates are the same as Deng Ran.

It's just that he and Deng Ran also made the same mistake, this Miss Sima is not a person who can be fooled casually, she has decided to eradicate this evil shili in Okura City, and now that she has the opportunity, she will never let go easily.

Logan was pressed to the ground, and he was about to bloom in his buttocks, but he only heard Sima Rulan say loudly: "Beat him slowly!" ”

When the two disciples of the "Wanjin Hall" heard the eldest lady speak, they immediately rushed forward and stopped the thug who was about to beat someone with a big wooden stick. Logan escaped from death, and was so frightened that he wailed again and again: "Thank you for sparing your life, thank you for sparing the villain's dog life!"

Sima Rulan took two steps forward, walked in front of Luo Gan, and said, "It's not certain whether you will be spared or not, it depends on whether you tell the truth." Let me ask you, yesterday ** went to the Bark Tower, but was assigned by someone else?"

Luo Gan's face was full of panic, he looked at He Xilou on the side, and then looked at Deng Ran outside of Zhang Xu, but he didn't speak.

Deng Ran stood there as if he didn't care about himself, while He Xilou stared at Luo Gen with his eyes widened. Miss Sima was just in front of him, of course he couldn't openly open his mouth to stop, but the threat was already clear from his eyes, if Luo Gen dared to identify that He Xilou had instigated it, He Xilou would definitely not be able to spare him.

Sima Rulan is very smart, and when she saw that Luo Gen didn't speak, she couldn't guess the reason. She smiled slightly and said, "Logan, since you are a master, you should know how to calculate." Think about it, as long as you tell the truth, I can promise that I won't beat you today, and I can let you stay in Okura City in the future, even if He Xilou can't help you, but if you don't say it, I won't care about you, even if the hundred sticks can't beat you to death, will you still have a way to live in the future?"

This is indeed a very simple truth, and Logan has already figured it out in his heart. He Xilou has been a dog-headed master for several years, how much righteousness this "Bright Moon Society" master has, Luo Gen knows very well, even if he lays down a hundred sticks to protect this person today, He Xilou will not only not be grateful in the future, but is likely to simply kill people and kill people.

If people don't do anything, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. At this time, Luo Gen couldn't care so much, and hurriedly said: "Tell the eldest lady, yesterday the villain was sent by the big boss He to the Bark Sky Tower to collect the silver, just now he ordered me to go again, I have to force Young Master Hua and Cao Gongzi to write a contract to let the building, and said that if you can't get it, you will arrest Young Master Hua's wife." Everything the little one said was the truth, all the bad things were all done by He Xilou and asked the little one to do, although the little one was very reluctant in his heart, there was no way, please spare the eldest lady!"

Sima Rulan looked at He Xilou and said, "He Da is in charge, if you dare to do it, you will dare to do it, what else do you have to say now?"

He Xilou was silent, in fact, at this time, he really had nothing to say.

If Hua Bushi and Cao Duyun's testimony, he may be able to deny the prevarication, this Luo Gen is his confidant master, and at this juncture, he can't even deny it.

Sima Rulan said: "At the beginning of the construction of our Okura City, the lord of the city has already established a law, all merchants and residents who come to live and trade in the city are protected, and must abide by the rules of free trade and fair trade, and are not allowed to bully others, even our 'Wanjintang' is no exception. Whoever violates this law shall have all his property in the city confiscated and driven out of the city, and there shall be no mercy. ”

Her face was solemn, and she said: "This law, everyone who enters the city to start a business will be told, and the Great Master He must not be unaware, right?"

He Xilou's face had changed. He understood very well that the meaning of the words of this city lord was to drive him and the "Bright Moon Society" out of Okura City in accordance with the law, and to confiscate all his property in the city. This not only means that the foundation of the "Bright Moon Society" that he has easily established in recent years is over, but also out of Okura City, where can he find such a rich place where he can make money?

In desperation, He Xilou turned his attention to Deng Ran and Xiong Bailing for help: "Two brothers, don't you think about the love of a righteous brother and intercede with the eldest lady on behalf of He?"
