Chapter 343: Help Me Get Justice
Xiao Yao, who had just walked out of the gate of Jinling City, came back not long ago, and this time the battle into the city was bigger and more sensational, attracting many curious people of Jinling City to watch!
Because in addition to the more than 20 guards who followed Xiao Yao out of the city just now, the ancestor boss of the General Commercial Bank followed Xiao Yao with a guard of hundreds of people, armed with big knives and spears! But the most attractive thing is the caravan of corpses they pulled in several big wagons!
Seeing more and more onlookers, Xiao Yao asked the soldiers of the guard to shout loudly: "Du Youxin, the son of the Du family of the Qi State, is a spy sent by the Qi State to lurk in Jinling City!" But he didn't think much of it, and wanted to set up an ambush outside the city to assassinate Xiao Gongzi, but now he has been defeated by the guards of the General Commercial Bank in one fell swoop, and these corpses are left behind by the killers of the Qi State! ”
"These are the corpses of Qi State killers? That's about a hundred, right? How dare the thieves of the Qi State ambush so many people outside Jinling City at the foot of the Son of Heaven to assassinate Xiao Shilang in the capital of Gyeonggi? That's too bold, isn't it? An onlooker said in surprise.
"That Du Youxin heard that he is the son-in-law of the Du family of Qi State, such a rich son of a family, and he is actually a spy sent by Qi State? And hasn't this Du family always had business dealings with General Motors? Why did he want to assassinate Xiao Shilang? Didn't they go out of the city together just now? A melon eater asked curiously.
"Alas, after all, no matter how rich the Du family is, they are also from the Qi country! Now our Chen State has been using troops against Qi State, this Xiao Shilang is a great hero of our Chen State to recover the Huainan area from Qi State, and of course the Qi people hate him to the core! And I heard that Recently, His Majesty is preparing to send a large army to attack Qi State, preparing to recover Huaibei in one fell swoop, so now Qi State must of course prepare in advance, take advantage of the good opportunity of Xiao Shilang being dismissed and removed by His Majesty, and send killers to get rid of Xiao Shilang, the nemesis of Qi State, and also to start in Jinling City, which is a heavy place in Gyeonggi, such a risky action, it can be seen how frightening Xiao Yao is in the hearts of Qi people! A politically astute onlooker explained.
"No wonder when I entered the city just now, I passed through that deserted area and heard a lot of sounds like fireworks and firecrackers, I thought it was a big family doing something festive, but now I see so many dead people, it's really unlucky! Phew! Said a traveler entering the city.
"Haha, this Xiao Shilang is our Da Chen's mighty general, and it is a fart to kill the Qi army on the battlefield! Now although he has been deposed and removed from office by His Majesty, he is still Xiao Shilang, the famous god of war of our Chen Army, and it is not easy to deal with these Qi rats who can only ambush and sneak attack! A veteran who had been a soldier and had heard Xiao Yao's various legends on the Huainan battlefield said excitedly.
"I didn't expect this Xiao Shilang to be so murderous now, I thought that after he was defeated by Gao Changgong, he would be in a slump, losing his decisive domineering spirit as our Da Chen soldier, and would only hide in the general casino every day to drink and have fun! Although there was an amazing poetry conference recently, it was also the stuff of literati and ink writers, but today he suddenly killed so many Qi people, and also pulled their corpses back to Jinling City, sure enough, Xiao Shilang was angry, and the head of the Qi thief fell to the ground, haha It's really happy! An old man laughed.
As soon as Xiao Yao and the others returned to the general casino, Zu Yuan immediately drove out all the Qi merchants who lived in the casino, and then pointed at them violently and scolded: "You wolf ambitions of the Qi people, I am grateful to my general business bank when I saw that you were driven out of other inns because of our majesty's investigation of you, and there was no place to settle and took you in, and we greeted you in a good place to eat and live. Resume trade with your Qi country! You have no moral integrity and shame, and today you dare to set up an ambush to assassinate our Xiao Gongzi! You so-called merchants of the Qi State must be spies sent by the Qi State to our Jinling City, and today I will send you all to the official mansion and let Your Majesty behead you for public display! ”80
"Boss Zu is wronged, we are just an ordinary businessman, and we have also cooperated with your general firm for several years, and we are definitely not spies! We are not familiar with this Du Youxin, usually the people of their Du family are high-minded, and they don't look down on us who do small business at all, and we don't know why he assassinated Xiao Gongzi today! A Qi businessman knelt down and begged for mercy.
"You dare to say that it has nothing to do with the Du family? The Du family is the dominant family in the business community of Qi State, and those of you who do business in Qi Country want to survive, dare not please the Du family? So this time, the Du family has arranged so many killers to lurk in Jinling City, you must be secretly assisting! Zu Yuan scolded angrily.
"Boss Zu, your court of Chen Guo has conducted an investigation before, which proves that we are just ordinary businessmen, not spies! So today, the Du family wants to assassinate Xiao Gongzi, we are indeed unkind! If Boss Zu resents us so much because we are Qi people, then we will leave your general casino! But please don't vent your anger on us innocent people! A more calm merchant said reasonably.
The assassination failed, and Du Youxin left the bodies of his accomplices and ran away by himself! Now I just want to vent my anger on you Qi people, do you dare to have an opinion? For the sake of us having worked happily together for a few years before, I won't send you to the government, and now you all get out of here! Get out of the general casino! Zu Yuan said fiercely.
"Boss Nazu, you can at least let us go in and get our luggage back, and we also have a lot of goods stored in the warehouse of your general firm, you have to return them to us!" A merchant made their request.
"Humph! Do you still want to get your goods back? Do you know that this Du Youxin used the fireworks and firecrackers he bought from our general trading house to make an earth bomb with the gunpowder in them to ambush our son! Are we going to give these things back to you now, so that you can take them back to the Qi Kingdom, and then use them against us when the time comes? Zu Yuan said with a sneer.
"How's that going to work! Doing business is the most important thing to pay attention to credit, but we spent real money to buy these goods, why are you general firms so discredited, and arbitrarily and unreasonably seize them! Hearing that they couldn't even take their own goods, these Qi merchants all shouted and shouted, and even wanted to rush to Zu Yuan to argue!
"Whoever dares to take another step forward will be killed!" The guards guarding Zu Yuan's side pulled out their big swords one after another, pointing at this group of Qi merchants and threateningly.
How could these unarmed merchants be the opponents of the group of guards with big swords and spears in their hands, so when they saw the cold weapons in the hands of these guards, they all froze and honestly shrank back.
"Haha, my ancestor Yuan is the boss of the General Firm, so don't say that I don't talk about the integrity of businessmen with you wolf ambitions! You all know that this incident was caused by Du Youxin of the Du family, and I should have only targeted him, but he has escaped now, so I want to ask you to do me a favor, after you go back to Qi Kingdom, you will go to the Du family for me to seek justice, and let them hand over this Du Youxin! When they hand over Du Youxin to our general firm, I will return these goods to you! Zu Yuan said with a smile like a profiteer.
