At the end of the year, the three Liancheng money houses were closed one after another, and the soldiers escorted carts of silver back to the city lord's mansion. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Qi Rubao sat in the conference hall and listened to the treasurer of the money village and his officials report on today's results. Obviously, this first day was a big win. Tomorrow, however, will be another tough battle. This is a war without gunpowder, he has never experienced it, nor has he thought that there is such a cruel killing in the original shopping mall.

The treasurers and officials were instructed on what to do tomorrow and left separately. However, Qi Rubao sat on the wide high-backed chair and fell into deep thought for a long time. Wan'er said that it only takes three days for her to change Lian Bicheng's current embarrassing financial situation, can she really succeed?

And at this moment, Lin Wan was sitting in the empty room, listening to the news reported by the gale, and the news he got today.

"Miss, the money in Jubao Village has almost been redeemed, and only a few big merchants who are good friends with the Xue family are still waiting. After Jubao Qian Zhuang closed today, Xue Baokun went to visit a few merchants, which should have been temporarily appeased. After nightfall, he quietly transported a few truckloads of silver from the Xue family's shop and mansion to the major money banks, preparing to deal with the robbery early tomorrow morning. "Gale first reported the current situation of the Xue family.

Lin Wan nodded, this was exactly what she had expected, no money bank could withstand such a robbery. Unless the Xue family has enough money to deal with it, it won't last for three days, and Jubao Qian Zhuang must be closed.

However, even if Jubao Qian Zhuang persevered and temporarily stopped business, in the face of the credibility of the Qi family and the lure of Liancheng Qian Zhuang, Jubao Qian Zhuang could no longer turn over, unless it used higher profits to attract business. However, the Xue family is a businessman, will they be willing to do a loss-making business?

"Is there any news from the Seventh Prince?" Lin Wan asked.

Gale shook his head and said, "The Hidden Soul has gone to inquire about the news, and has not yet returned." ”

Lin Wan frowned, and asked again, "What happened in the past month? What is the situation with Uncle Qingpeng now?"

Gale stood with a solemn expression, suppressing the anxiety in his heart, and told the hidden soul what it had reported to him.

More than twenty days ago, the hidden soul rushed to Dongli according to Lin Wan's instructions, and did not meet Zhao Qingpeng and the others, but had been secretly paying attention to their news.

Zhao Qingpeng had a letter from Zhao Zhengxiang, and with the help of General Qi, he easily arrived in Qicheng and met Qu Liuyun, the proprietress of Liuyun Inn.

However, the Dongli Palace is heavily guarded, and they are all Li Xingyu's people, so it is not easy to enter the palace. Qu Liuyun didn't have a good way, he just said that he would wait for the opportunity. But Zhao Qingpeng was worried about Zhao Liniang's illness, how could he accept the indefinite wait, so he had to take risks.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Qingpeng took eight guards and two carriages with four beauties to Li Xingyu's Taishi Mansion. Zhao Qingpeng showed Jin Pengzhan's personal jade pendant, and the guard immediately notified the housekeeper, and the housekeeper personally respectfully led Zhao Qingpeng into the mansion and entertained him well.

Zhao Qingpeng waited in the Taishi Mansion all day, and it was not until the evening that Li Xingyu met him. Zhao Qingpeng claimed to be a close confidant of Zhou Tianhong, the prince of Fengguo, and was ordered by the prince to send gifts to Li Taishi. Because he wanted to surprise Master Li, he didn't inform him in advance, but brought Jin Pengzhan's personal token as evidence.

Li Xingyu took Jin Pengzhan's token and looked at it for a long time, and was noncommittal to Zhao Qingpeng's statement. But when he saw the four beauties, he accepted them without hesitation. There are countless beauties in the Taishi Mansion, and there is no shortage of exotic women, but he knew that these four women were good at martial arts at a glance, and he immediately believed that this was his nephew who honored him.

It's just that a few people know that the reason why Li Xingyu was able to become the number one master of Dongli was because he practiced a kind of miracle skill, which could improve his own skills by collecting women's yin qi. And the higher the woman's martial arts, the more it will help him. However, after the woman was collected by him, she would lose her martial arts, grow old quickly, and wither.

Li Xingyu's secret was unknown to no one except for a few of his cronies and Jin Pengzhan, so he had no doubt that this was a gift from Jin Pengzhan. It's been a long time since he's met such a high-quality beauty, and lately he's feeling very bad, in poor spirits, and irritable.

That night, the four beauties were all taken away, and Zhao Qingpeng and eight guards were arranged to live in the guest room.

After a long night, Zhao Qingpeng did not wait for any news. When he saw Li Xingyu again the next day, Li Xingyu was in a very good mood and set up a banquet to entertain him. He originally wanted to poison himself at the banquet, but Li Xingyu was very cautious and had no chance to do it.

That night, one of the women brought by Zhao Qingpeng, after Li Xingyu took away the second woman, the guards relaxed for a while, and secretly came to see Zhao Qingpeng, saying that Li Xingyu took a person away every day, and would search, check, and bathe, so it was difficult to find a chance to start. And the people who were taken did not come back, and they did not know what happened in the end.

Zhao Qingpeng waited anxiously for three days, and when it was late at night on the fourth day, Zhao Qingpeng waited for the hidden soul, and the hidden soul only had time to inform Zhao Qingpeng to leave quickly, and a large number of soldiers had already broken in, and the hidden soul hid in the dark, and saw eight guards killed in battle, and Zhao Qingpeng was captured.

It turned out that the last female killer put the potion given by Lin Wan into the killer's special poison sac and hid it in her teeth. When making out with Li Xingyu, he bit the poison sac and sent the venom into Li Xingyu's mouth. The venom was colorless and tasteless, and when Li Xingyu found out that he had lost all his martial arts, it was too late.

Li Xingyu coerced the female killer to hand over the antidote, but the poison hidden in the female killer's other tooth had been bitten through, killing her in an instant. Li Xingyu was furious and asked the guards and secret guards to arrest Zhao Qingpeng immediately.

Seeing a large number of guards rushing towards Zhao Qingpeng's residence, the hidden soul immediately rushed ahead of them to report the news, but unfortunately it was still a step too late. The hidden soul remembered Lin Wan's instructions, and he didn't act rashly, and kept hiding in the shadows.

Li Xingyu searched Zhao Qingpeng's whole body, searched all the places he had been, and didn't even let go of Liuyun Inn, but he didn't find any clues and antidotes. Li Xingyu looked for all the famous doctors in Dongli to see, but no one could say what kind of poison it was, let alone detoxification.

So, Li Xingyu tortured Zhao Qingpeng like crazy, but he didn't dare to kill him.

The hidden soul quietly left the Taishi Mansion to inform the dozen or so secret guards and a few of Jin Haoran's cronies who were still left in the dark room of the Liuyun Inn, and everyone scattered to leave Qi City. Then report to the Changfeng Gongzi who is far away in the capital through the Shadowless Pavilion. In the end, he hid in the Eastern Qi army and acted at the opportunity.

However, during these days when the hidden soul was hiding in the Eastern Qi army, he inadvertently discovered another very serious problem, which was related to the fate of the entire Eastern Qi army. (To be continued.) )
