"Knock Knock"

The loud knock on the door made Mu Shengbai raise his head from the book, his sword eyebrows twisted slightly, and it could be heard that someone knocked on the door of the shop, and with this kind of force, it can be seen that the person who came is not good.

"Young owner, you have nothing to do, right?"

Qi Huan also heard a knock in the room, but he didn't choose to open the door first, but ran to Mu Shengbai to inquire about the situation, and only ran to open the door after getting the answer that it was okay inside, Mu Shengbai also followed out, and the other guards also guarded every corner.

"It turned out to be an official, don't you know what happened to a few officials who came to the shop so late?" It turned out that there were several officers and soldiers wearing official uniforms at the door, fierce and vicious, and the people did not fight with the officials, so Qi Huan hurriedly said with a smile.

Several officers and soldiers didn't appreciate it at all, pushed Qi Huan away, and walked in, Qi Huan staggered a few steps before stabilizing his body.

Mu Shengbai came over and happened to see this scene, his heart sank, he strode over to support Qi Huan, and said with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Qi Huan looked at Mu Shengbai with emotion and waved his hand hurriedly.

"Presumably this is the shopkeeper Mu of Lanwu Pavilion, a few days ago, a batch of official silver from the Yamen was stolen, and I waited for the order of the lord to come to search, and I hope that the shopkeeper Mu will cooperate." Although it was a request, the leading official almost didn't mean to ask at all, and his attitude was tough, looking like you have to give it if you don't give it.

Although he didn't like their attitude, he was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if he didn't do anything wrong, so Mu Shengbai agreed to their search.

Mu Shengbai nodded, and the first few officers and soldiers looked through it like thieves entering the city, and some of the more precious commodities on the containers were also turned over to the ground, and they stepped on them with their feet, and some of the more fragile ones were smashed, making a crisp sound.

Qi Huan was distressed, and hurriedly carried the intact goods in his arms, tearful, like holding his own child, but those officials almost did not restrain themselves.

"Young owner, they are too bullying." Qi Huan ran to Mu Shengbai's side and whispered, he was very aggrieved, and Mu Shengbai's mood was also a little turbulent, but he didn't say anything, just looked at them coldly.

Mu Shengbai could also feel that the emotions of the guards hidden in all corners were a little unstable, and he could only signal them to calm down and wait and see what happened.

The shop was turned upside down, as if they had entered the house, they did not find anything, did not stop, wandering in the shop, an official came to the counter, with the sword in his hand smashed open the lock of the drawer, which contained the silver tickets and silver that had not yet had time to be deposited in the bank, several thick piles, the official's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "These silver tickets and silver are very suspicious, we must take them back and investigate them seriously." ”

As he spoke, he took out a bag, and the other officials also pounced, looking like they had been deliberate for a long time.

"A few officials, this is not good." Mu Shengbai walked over and pressed their hands, there was anger in his eyes, these people were too deceitful.

An official wanted to take away his hand but couldn't move a bit, his face darkened, "After the silver is sent to the government for inspection, there is no problem, and it will naturally be sent back to you, do you still suspect that we will not be able to swallow it privately." ”

"You did it on purpose." Mu Shengbai looked at the officer and soldier steadily.

"What's the matter with you?" The other officials were angry, and they all raised Mu Shengbai's hand with black faces.

The leading official was even more yin and yang, "Shopkeeper Mu is really not afraid of heaven and earth, and he actually dares to question the government, can you rely on your own disciples of Mr. Changfeng to dare to despise the government, it is really a big rebellion." ”

This hat was buckled, and Mu Sheng's white head made his face cold all of a sudden, and his straight body trembled a little, and he was extremely angry.

Those officials collected the money and wanted to leave, but Mu Shengbai was still in front of them, and the leader wanted to push Mu Shengbai away but he dodged sideways, the man felt embarrassed, and said sharply: "Shopkeeper Mu, if you hinder us again, we are welcome, and pull you to the government to cooperate." ”

As soon as he said this, the leader observed that he felt a chill down his spine, as if something was hiding in the shadows and watching him, waiting for the opportunity to give him a fatal blow, but he looked around and didn't find anyone.

He didn't know that if it wasn't for Mu Shengbai to stop him just now, he would have been separated by the head now, and the guards who were waiting for the opportunity to act in the shadows had already reached their peak when they saw that the official was about to push Mu Shengbai.

Mu Shengbai naturally saw that they came here to say that they wanted to investigate the loss of the official silver were all nonsense, and the real purpose was to make trouble, but in the end, he also stopped the guards from making a move, and turned sideways, "It's Mu who is rude, a few officials, please leave." ”

Several officials were stunned, they all thought that Mu Shengbai was going to be angry just now, but they didn't expect his attitude to change suddenly, and the young man's face was as white as jade, and there was no extreme emotion.

When they were scared, they snorted coldly in their hearts, what kind of disciple of Mr. Changfeng is just a soft-footed shrimp, and he went out triumphantly.

"Young farmer." Qi Huan walked over unwillingly, looking at their swaggering backs with hatred, "How can you let them go, they are too much." ”

"Qi Huan." Mu Shengbai called him softly, although Qi Huan had helped manage the Lanwu Pavilion for a long time, he was only a teenager a few years older than him, and Mu Shengbai had grown up under Mu Changfeng's cultivation since he was a child, and his temperament was naturally not comparable to his peers.

"Don't let the momentary delay delay the development later, no matter what they say, they are also people from the government, representing the face of the imperial court, and the future will be long."

Qi Huan didn't seem to understand, he only felt that what Mu Shengbai said was very reasonable but he didn't understand it very well, but he no longer dwelled on this issue, and threw himself on the good or bad goods all over the ground, put the good ones back to their original places, and clean up the bad ones, Mu Shengbai ordered the guards to help him.

The lights in the shops were on until the end of the ugly hour, and everything was already in order.

However, these officials were not satisfied with that time, and evolved into coming to Lanwu Pavilion every other day, using various reasons to search in Lanwu Pavilion, and every time it was a big fanfare, and sometimes they drove out the guests who were buying things, and they were afraid that they would interfere with official business, thinking of Mu Shengbai's words, Qi Huan endured it.

It's just one or two times, and often this makes the guests wonder if Qilan Wuge really has any dirty deals, or what crime Mu Shengbai committed to let the yamen target him like this, and the business is much worse.

Sometimes a guest was about to enter the Lanwu Pavilion when he was pulled away by his companions, looking unpredictable, pointing at the Lanwu Pavilion and shaking his head wildly, as if it was some kind of demon cave.
