The hall was immediately silent, no one dared to object, and everyone looked at each other in silence.

Liu Chao took out a piece of paper, on which was a proposal from the merchants who jointly proposed him to be the president: "You sign your names on it one by one, and only after signing can you leave here." ”

Whether they agree or not, as businessmen, they understand a truth, those who don't have a gun in their hands will never be able to fight those with guns in their hands.

One after another, everyone signed their names.

Liu Chao laughed proudly: "Wouldn't it be over like this earlier, so that everyone would have tore their faces." From today onwards, I will be the president of the city's chamber of commerce. ”

As soon as the laughter fell, the gate was shattered, and Xia Yu and Zhang Ruoxu led people to Jing Zhaoyin.

"Where's Yu Zuo? He came out to speak. ”

After Zhang Ruoxu came in, he sighed: "Why are you people here?" ”

Xia Yu asked Su Lang: "Big brother, what's going on?" ”

Su Lang told the matter again, Xia Yu immediately understood the joints, Yu Zuo was not greedy enough, and wanted to maximize the benefits.

The movement in the courtyard alarmed Yu Zuo, and he asked with more than a dozen officials: "Lord Zhang, I am an official in the same dynasty as you, and you dare to destroy the gate of Jing Zhaoyin, I want to go to the palace with you to theorize." ”

Zhang Ruoxu glanced at Yu Zuo indifferently: "Lord Yu, you are not qualified to reason with me, come on, take off his official uniform for me!" ”

"You dare!"

Yu Zuo shouted loudly, and the officials who rushed over also moved.

Zhang Ruoxu sneered twice and unfolded the edict he brought with him.

A bright red seal was shocking, and Yu Zuo's eyelids were beating wildly.

"This is the edict of the prince himself, you can see for yourself, from today onwards, you are no longer Jing Zhaoyin, and Ma Zhou will take over."

Like five thunderbolts thundering on the top, Yu Zuo muttered: "Impossible, this is impossible." ”

"It's written in black and white, I'm afraid no one in Daxing City dares to fabricate an edict, right?"

The official messenger stepped forward, and Yu Zuo's official uniform was taken off, Zhang Ruoxu said leisurely: "Yu Zuo, people are doing it, the sky is watching, you connived at the beggar gang to run rampant in the city, and this matter has long been known by the prince." Stripped of your official uniform, this is already a lenient punishment for you. ”

With Yu Zuo's fall, Liu Chao's heart trembled slightly, and his backer was gone.

Zhang Ruoxu walked up to Su Lang: "Young Master Su, I am on the orders of the crown prince today, in addition to demoting Yu Zuo, there is one more thing to discuss with you." Ling's brother-in-law Xia Yu proposed to establish a chamber of commerce in the city, this suggestion is very good, I don't know what you think? ”

Su Lang replied, "I think this is a good suggestion. The Chamber of Commerce knows the situation in the city very well, and it is better to manage itself on its own. ”

"Since the Chamber of Commerce is going to be established, who does Su Gongzi think is more suitable to be the president?"

"It depends on everyone's opinion."

All the businessmen present are bright-eyed, Zhang Ruoxu, as a minister, can lower his posture and talk to Su Lang like this, the purpose is self-evident, is to ask Su Lang to serve as the president.

Having said it again, Su Lang is the president, and if he can have a good relationship with Zhang Ruoxu, he will be able to benefit them more.

In the evening, Su Lang invited Zhang Ruoxu and Xia Yu to a banquet, and the three of them had a happy gathering.

Overnight, Xia Yu rode to Xianren Pass on a chasing Fenghuang.

Qu Tutong suffered three losses in a row and will never sit still.

Xia Yu suddenly felt a churning in his body again, like a knife, and even his body showed symptoms, and the left half of his body was as black as ink.

The time when the attack of the Seven Absolute Pills is approaching is getting closer and closer, and in another seven days, if he doesn't go to Jiang's house, then his life will really be gone.

Chasing Fenghuang also seemed to feel that his master was sick, and slowly galloped on the post road.

Xia Yu's consciousness gradually fell into a coma, the night was as cold as water, and the spring breeze was blowing, but he felt like falling into an ice cellar, shivering with cold.

I don't know how long it was, but I heard the sound of crackling firewood.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a wide and thick back with his back to him, and a huge wine gourd beside him.

"You saved me?"

The man turned his head, his nostrils were short and large, the hair on his face was long, and he was covered with a beard all around, and he looked like a wild man.

"You offended the Jiang family?"

Xia Yu shook his head: "It's not counted, there are some misunderstandings." ”

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Little brother, you are blessed to have met me. ”

The man laughed.

"You have a grudge against the Jiang family?"

"Not only is there a hatred, the hatred is as deep as the sea, what the Jiang family owes me can only be washed with blood!"

At the mention of the Jiang family, his bold tone suddenly became gloomy and cold, and even the air around him was cold.

Xia Yu didn't know whether this person was friend or foe, and he was confused about whether the Jiang family was right or evil, and he only knew that it was an extremely terrifying force.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

"Xia Yu, I don't know what to call my brother?"

"In the Lower King Cyclamen."

The name Wang Xianke sounds so familiar that I can't remember it for a while.

"If you want to completely remove the poison of the Seven Absolute Pills from your body, come and take a sip of my self-brewed wine."

Xia Yu's body is still uncomfortable, and he feels like he is dragging a heavy piece of lead all over his body, and it is said that from tomorrow, every other hour, there will be a different feeling of poisoning on his body.

"A sip of wine is nothing, even if it's a bottle, I can drink it."

Lifting the wine bottle with one hand, it was unusually heavy, and this wine bottle was actually made of stainless steel, weighing 700 catties.

Xia Yu pulled out the cork, grunted, and drank most of it freely. Only then did he wipe the spills off his mouth and said in a loud voice: "Good wine, good wine." ”

Suddenly, a large sea of fire rose in the lower abdomen, moxibustion roasted the dantian, and sweat also sprayed out, immediately soaking the clothes.

To outsiders, a large cloud of red smoke rose from around Xia Yu's body, enveloping him.

Wang Xianke's voice was cold: "Boy, if you drink my Burning Sun Wine, the water on your body will evaporate in half an hour and become a dried corpse. Tell me honestly, where is the Jiang family? ”

"I thought you were an upright person, but I didn't expect such a calculation!" Xia Yu gritted his teeth and said.

"I promised to purge the Seven Absolute Pills from your body, but I didn't guarantee that you wouldn't be poisoned by another poison. As soon as I saw you, I felt that your relationship with the Jiang family was by no means simple, you must know where they were hiding, right? ”

Wang Xianke asked sharply.

A trace of blood oozed from between Xia Yu's teeth, and the burning sensation became more and more intense, and the whole person seemed to be placed in a crater.

"I know so what? Just don't tell you! ”

Wang Xianke was not annoyed, and held a piece of turquoise jade in his hand: "The name of this jade is Bihai Pearl, and it is mined from the bottom of the sea below 100 zhang. It helps you eliminate the toxicity of the spirit. Just tell me, and I'll detoxify you right away! ”

"Delusional, how can I, Xia Yu, be the kind of person who is persecuted by others! Unless—"

"Unless what?"

"You call me grandpa!"
