Chapter 44: Confrontation

"Okay." The man in black answered and went out.

"Uncle, the tea is ready, please try it." The maidservant respectfully brought him a cup of tea with a clear and translucent soup.

"I'd like to taste you even more today!" Qian Chang grabbed the handmaid's waist and stretched his face to her neck and sniffed.

"Don't, don't!" The crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground masked the maidservant's inaudible resistance.

The man in black outside the house seems to have long been accustomed to it, whether it is the woman's cry for help and forgiveness, or the man's gasping and muffling, they all don't hear anything, they look at the nose and nose and the heart, look at the sky in a daze, and look at the sky.

After a while, Mu Mingcheng, who was sitting in the Mu family's warehouse, also got the news, saying that Gu Qingzhu had arrived at the Dongshi Tea Shop, at this time, Han Shouyi was analyzing the tea market with him, and when he heard it, he couldn't help frowning a little unhappily and said: "I asked her if she wanted to ask the price, and she said happily no, but she came to the tea market at this time, what does this mean?" Besides, what I gave her today is a high price of 120 Wen, isn't she still satisfied? ”

"She didn't come to inquire about today's price, her Ming Qian tea was sold to Sansheng, high and low, it didn't make much sense to ask, I think she probably wanted to inquire about the price in the future." Mu Mingcheng took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.

"This girl has a natural keen business acumen, I just talked to her a few more words, and she came, but it's a pity that it's a girl, otherwise it's really a good material for trading." Han Shouyi couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"It's only because she has a bad background, and Zijin doesn't also run the embroidery shop very well." Mu Mingcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said disapprovingly.

"Yes, yes, Xiao Lao'er said the wrong thing, Miss Tan is like a clear sky and a bright moon, how can anyone compare!" Han Shouyi corrected his words again and again, and scolded secretly in his heart, he was really old and confused, Tan Zijin will be the young lady of the Mu family in the future, and the person who will be in charge of the family in the future, and he will not be able to say anything in the future if he looks down on a woman.

"Let's go out and see if she is a country girl, don't be tempted by others." Mu Mingcheng likes Gu Qingzhu's tea, he is a businessman, but he has to firmly grasp all the profitable business in the palm of his hand.

"Yes." His entourage Chang Ning answered, and went out, he usually said to do more with less, and others thought he was a stuffy gourd.

In the East Market, Gu Qingzhu and Liang Mancang turned around, and gradually got used to the noise that the two of them were close to each other, and they had to shout loudly to hear the noise, and the price of the tea market really fell to ninety Wen, occasionally high, but there were two or three more, and there were no others.

"The girl looks like a tea seller, we collect tea locally, and the price must be higher than those outsiders, if you are willing, you might as well come in and talk?" A guy with a smile on his face said to Gu Qingzhu with a local accent.

"What is the price of Ming Qian tea?" Gu Qingzhu believed his words, stood up and asked.

"The girl has Ming Qian tea at home? You might as well come in, let's talk, now there are only ninety Wen outside, I will give you a high price, others are going to make trouble. The man waved to her.

"Forget it, don't ask." Gu Qingzhu thought about it, she didn't have any tea, and it was useless to ask, besides, after turning around, what the shopkeeper Han gave her was indeed a real price.

"Ah, don't go, let's discuss the price." When the man saw that she was leaving, he stepped forward and took her arm.

"What are you doing?" Liang Mancang stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

"Ouch, I'm kind enough to give you a high price, if you don't talk about it, why do you ask someone to beat me!" The guy suddenly shouted loudly.

"What's wrong!" A group of people ran out of the tent and rushed straight towards Liang Mancang.

These men seemed to have been prepared in advance, each carrying an iron rod and a large knife in their hands.

This sudden change made Gu Qingzhu's heart tighten, and she pulled the corner of Liang Mancang's clothes, instinctively wanting to leave here quickly.

Liang Mancang saw that the situation was not good, the market was full of people at this time, and he couldn't run away, he was ready to fight, but he didn't understand it, he only entered Nancang County for the first time after five years, for no reason, which plague god did he provoke!

"What's wrong? Is Changlong collecting tea, or is he going to open a full martial arts? At the juncture of saber rattling, a soft and slow voice asked.

Changlong? Liang Mancang's eyebrows jumped, it was really a narrow road, why didn't he expect it, since Qian Sheng could collect fresh tea in Cuiping, he would naturally collect tea in Dongshi, but he was careless, and he was targeted, but he didn't find it.

"This kid injured our guy for no reason, when has Changlong been bullied like this? The second master of the Mu family, please don't care too much. The man in black in the lead had a gloomy face, and pointed to the guy who was holding his arms and shouting.

"This girl is a very important merchant in my Sansheng Tea Shop, and her friends are my friends, so it's better to give me a face, and take some money to give the guys a drink to suppress the shock, and that's it." Mu Mingcheng stretched out his hand backwards, and Changning put a purse containing broken silver in his hand.

"Second Master Mu's wish has been received below, but the Qian family has the rules of the rich family, please don't embarrass us!" The man in black in the lead did not step forward to take the purse, but only clasped his fists and saluted, which was obviously a refusal.

"Look at it, it's a loyal one, but then again, don't say it's you, even if Uncle Qian is here, I ask him for such a favor, I don't think he will necessarily refute my face, why are you so stubborn!" Mu Mingcheng smiled lightly, his eyebrows and eyes did not move.

"The little one only knows how to be loyal to the master, and please forgive the second master of the Mu family!" The man in black snorted coldly, didn't let him go, and waved his hand to let the people behind him come quickly.

"Changning, you go and invite Uncle Qian, just say that I want to ask him for a favor in front of his tea tent." Mu Mingcheng looked back and threw the purse back to the entourage behind him.

"Yes!" Changning replied with a fist, turned around and went quickly.

"Thank you for this gentleman's kindness, since you know Qingzhu, please protect her, as for me, they are not opponents yet!" Liang Mancang stepped forward and hugged his fists, he thought very simply, he could hide today, and he would come back tomorrow, it was better to fight in one fell swoop, but there would be less trouble.

"It's arrogant enough, I won't ask you to kneel and beg for mercy later!" The man in the lead raised his knife and slashed at his face.

The incident happened suddenly, Mu Mingcheng pulled Gu Qingzhu to his side, withdrew three steps away, and watched from a distance.

"You are small, you can't do it!" Liang Mancang shouted and went head-on.

I saw him fly and kick, as fast as thunder, hitting the man's wrist, his foot strength could reach a thousand jun, the man barely held the knife, although he did not fly out of his hand, but the blade had already deflected, and in the flash of light, he suddenly cut off the sideburns of another man who was attacking with an iron rod next to him.

"Ahh Broken hair flew, the man's scalp was cold, he raised his hand to touch it subconsciously, and found that there was no bloodshed, just secretly glad that he had saved his life, but he didn't expect that Liang Mancang had already bullied him, kicked him down, snatched his iron rod, and slammed his stomach.

But in the blink of an eye, Liang Mancang had already robbed the guy, injured several people in a row, although the iron rod was short, but he danced vigorously, protecting his body, splashing water without sticking, those people in black did not dare to get too close, only sneak attack on the side, but they were always beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and flowers flowed.

Mu Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, Changning's kung fu is very good, but if compared to this person, it is obviously a step worse, no wonder he is so unruly.

Gu Qingzhu, who was still very worried just now, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Liang Mancang so majestic, and just watched the battle quietly on the sidelines.

In the Qian family's warehouse, Qian Sheng didn't buy Changning's account at all, only said that he had a headache, refused to go to the tent where the tea was collected, and only hung Changning in the courtyard, but after a while, an injured guy ran over, muttered a few words to the man in black outside, and the man in black immediately went to the wing room to reply.

Half an hour later, Qian Chang and Changning rushed to the tea tent, but just before this three or five breaths, Liang Mancang had just beaten everyone down, and those black-clothed people were bleeding from their heads, curled up on the ground and moaning.

The people who were watching the excitement outside didn't know the inside story, but they just invited the juggling team to come up with an ingenious way to attract business, and they couldn't help but applaud together when they saw Liang Mancang's victory.

"Scattered, scattered, what's so nice!" Money rose and waved impatiently.

When he walked into the tent, he was even more angry, and his face turned pale, only to see those black-clothed people lying in all directions and shouting, blood splattered everywhere, and most of the items used to collect tea were damaged.

"Look, I sent Changning to call you before, but that person was a little anxious, and he did it if he didn't agree with him, what is not good to sit down and discuss, I have to dance the knife and make a stick, this pain is not in vain." Mu Mingcheng stepped in gracefully, with a very regretful expression on his face.

"Ahem, it's all my fault, I accompanied Deputy Envoy Ding yesterday, and I drank a little too much, so I will inevitably have a headache and be lazy today." Qian Chang's face was black, but he still had to pretend to smile to deal with Mu Mingcheng.

Ding Yongdao, the deputy envoy of Ding, is the deputy envoy of the Tea and Horse Division, and is in Yan'an City, just a temporary post, basically not caring about things, therefore, the tea and horse division of Ningjiang City is Ding Yongdao in charge, in charge of the entire Liudu surrounding tribute tea, official tea, and commercial tea, it can be said that his official position is not high, but his authority is very large, not long after he took office, Nancang County is large and small, but all the people with some face have visited him.

Qian Shang's mention of their relationship at this time is tantamount to showing off and provoking.

"Really? You are drunk a lot, and Deputy Envoy Ding must have drunk it too, but I just gave him two catties of new lotus heart tea cakes this year, which is the best hangover. Mu Mingcheng smiled lightly, looking at it in the eyes of others, it was like a bright moon.

Only Qian Sheng understands, there is another mystery hidden in his words, lotus heart tea is the first spring tea, this year's weather is not good, many tea farmers have missed the picking season, he only received a total of three or four catties of fresh tea leaves, made six tea cakes of two taels, and Mu Mingcheng easily sent out ten, this comparison, high and low.

"Liang Mancang, it's just that you injured my people in Cuiping Town, and you are still chasing after you here today, it is really lawless!" Qian was depressed, no longer ignored Mu Mingcheng, and instead yelled at Liang Mancang.
