Tang Meng has a habit of lighting the lamp when he sleeps, no one knows why, he has been like this since he was a child. He was afraid of the dark, and if he woke up in the middle of the night to see the darkness in his room, his heart would skip a beat. When he woke up that night, he found that the oil lamp had been extinguished. Tang Meng grabbed the quilt, wrapped himself whole, and hid inside shivering.

A ray of light came in from the corner of the quilt, and Tang Meng mustered up the courage to slowly reveal his head. On a chair in the middle of the room, there was a man. Dressed in black, he wrapped his head in black cloth, revealing only two fierce eyes. In particular, on the left eye, a scar slanted down, scratching the upper and lower eyelids. So many years of experience in leading soldiers told him that the scar on this person's face was a sword wound.

The man didn't speak, but sat in the middle, playing with the dagger in his hand. As soon as he went on and down, the light from the occasional oil lamp reflected into Tang Meng's eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Tang Meng felt cold all over, and it took a long time before he mustered up his courage: "Who are you?" ”

The man still didn't speak, watching Tang Meng continue to play with the short sword, and the two of them looked at each other silently. Tang Meng wanted to call someone, but he didn't dare, he understood that as long as he spoke out, that person would definitely kill him unceremoniously. One in bed, one in the ground, just sitting. There was the sound of a stick beating outside the door, it was already the third watch, and this person neither made a move nor left.

"What do you want?" Tang Meng asked again.

The man still had that kind of vision, and the blade in his hand kept turning.

"Who sent you? Isn't it Su Ren? I don't know why, the first name that Tang Meng thought of would be Su Ren.

The man raised his hand and stuck the short sword on the table of the Eight Immortals. The teacups and teapots on the table jumped and made a sloppy noise. The angle of the blade was just right, reflecting the light of the oil lamp into Tang Meng's eyes. Tang Meng hurriedly dodged as if he had been hit by something, and moved his body into the bed.

"Don't kill me! Take whatever you want! ”

"Huh!" The man finally made a little noise, not laughing, not snorting, but blowing out of the corners of his mouth, which meant contempt and ridicule. Tang Meng could even feel that the corners of his mouth were raised under the black cloth.

Tang Meng was really scared, although he was the lieutenant of Shu County, the soldiers of the entire Shu County were his subordinates, and he could not feel it when he was killing. But this is his own room, a room in the Governor's Mansion. A person came in in the middle of the night, still holding a weapon in his hand, what does this mean? It shows that people can easily assassinate themselves as long as they use their hands.

Suddenly, the oil lamp in the room went out.

"Ah......" A miserable scream resounded in the Governor's Mansion, very miserable and terrifying.

The butler got up smartly, and before he even had time to put on his clothes and shoes, he heard the source of the voice, which was Tang Meng's room.

"The hosts! Master! What happened to you? The housekeeper was brought out of the house by Tang Meng, and he naturally knew that his master was wrong, and he shouted and ordered the lamp to be held.

Torches, oil lamps, and lanterns were lit in the courtyard, and the whole courtyard was lit as day. People who came from all over crowded over, and the small courtyard was full of people. The housekeeper shouted twice, and there was no movement in Tang Meng's room.

"The hosts! Are you okay? The butler said softly in a child's tone.

The head of the guard glanced at him: "Butler, knock on the door!" In case ......"

The butler shook his head vigorously. This is the Duwei's Mansion, which is the safest place in the whole of Chengdu, even the Taishou Mansion does not have so many guards and soldiers, the housekeeper does not believe that anyone will come in, he firmly believes that something has extinguished the light in his master's house, and the master was frightened after waking up!

After a few more shouts, there was still no movement in the room. The leader of the guards, who was standing behind the butler, pulled the butler over: "Can't wait any longer!" Knock on the door! ”

Two soldiers rushed to the door. "Bang dang!" There was a loud bang, and the door was slammed along with the door frame, and spread flat on the floor of the room. The room was pitch black, and dust rose up. The leader of the guards drew his sword and rushed in.

The second to come in was the butler, who was not like the head of the guard, and he looked in first, and felt that there was no danger, so he came in. When I entered the door, I grabbed a lantern in the hand of a subordinate, and there was no one in the house!

The butler and the head of the guard were shocked! They looked at each other with incredible expressions. It seems that the Governor's Mansion has really entered, and he has kidnapped the Captain. Such a thing has never happened in the Han Dynasty. The imperial court has just praised the Governor for his efforts to quell the rebellion. Before the angel left, in a blink of an eye, Du Wei was kidnapped, still in his own home, in his own bed, and his face was thrown to his grandmother's house.

As soon as the lieutenant turned around, he ordered someone to look for it. The butler grabbed him and pointed to the bed. There was a pile of quilts on the bed, and this pile of quilts was shaking, "Captain? The leader of the guards yelled at the pile of quilts.

The butler smiled slightly, handed the lantern in his hand to the head of the guard, and ordered the people outside to come in and take charge of the lantern. When the room was bright, the housekeeper gently came to the side of the bed step by step, and reached out to pull the quilt corner.

"Don't come here! Don't kill me! Tang Meng suddenly shouted under the quilt, and the housekeeper was startled.

"There are assassins!" An exclamation from outside the room broke the silence.

Tang Meng hurriedly tightened the quilt, wrapped himself, and shrank into the corner: "Don't kill me, what do you want?" I don't have anything! Really, nothing! All that money is in the cellar in the backyard, and there are dozens of catties of gold, all of it, I'll give it all to you! ”

"This way! Over here! Pursue! Don't let him run away......! ”

In the courtyard, all kinds of shouts rang out, footsteps were hurried, and there was the sound of weapons clashing. The leader of the guards scurried with his sword in his hand towards the place where the shouts were loudest. The unarmed servants and servants were all frightened, and they wanted to go but did not dare to go, and gathered outside the door one by one, leaning on each other, staring around with wide eyes.

After chasing for a long time, the ghost shadow didn't catch a single one, but made the whole yard into a miasma. The leader of the guards was about to lead people to search the whole of Chengdu, but was stopped by the recovered Tang Meng. Since people can come, they can appear in their bedrooms without knowing it, and they don't kill themselves, it already shows that people are just to deter or threaten. Since this is the case, you may not be able to find it if you want to find it.

Sitting on the couch with the quilt in his arms, Tang Meng had palpitations. The servants and servants had already been sent back, leaving a few men at the door. There was only one butler left in the house.

The housekeeper said: "Master, will it be ......" The housekeeper pointed to the west, which is the West Market and the place of Sufu.

Tang Meng glanced at the housekeeper: "Don't guess, you immediately send someone to contact our people, temporarily stop targeting the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and in addition, you go and invite Zhuo Wangsun here!" ”

"Whoa!" The butler agreed, turned around and walked out. Tang Meng thought for a while and called the housekeeper: "And those who haven't done business with the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce are also here, you go in person, don't let anyone find out." ”

The butler nodded and went out.

Tang Meng stretched out his hand to touch the cold sweat on his head, took a long breath, and said silently: "I hope it's still too late." ”

Su Ren slept well, and all actions were carried out according to his plan. A large number of materials have gathered from various shops to the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and Shuzhong is a difficult place to enter and exit. When commodities are suddenly bought by a company, the supply of goods decreases, which inevitably means higher prices, especially those necessities such as food and salt related to survival.

Su Ren stretched his waist, moved his waist, and was just about to go to find water to wash his face. Cui Jiuming and Huo Laosi came together.

Su Ren smiled: "Oops! One is the president of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and the fourth brother is also a celebrity among Chengdu businessmen. ”

Huo Laosi saw that Su Ren was carrying a copper basin in his hand, and hurriedly took it over to help Su Ren get water.

Cui Jiuming said: "Don't be uncommon, something went wrong, this morning, those guys collectively raised the price, and it was fifty percent if it rose!" ”

"Really?" Su Ren smiled: "This is very good, it means that they are out of stock!" ”

"I think these guys are united and ready to deal with us, that old Zhang of the Zhang Ji Grain Store, I know that he still has three large warehouses of grain and rice in Chengdu!"

On the steps in front of the house, Su Ren said while washing his face: "This is normal, if we buy a large number of people, people will increase their prices, which is the same as the law of the market, it would be strange if they lowered the price." ”

"But then we're going to have to spend more money on their stuff." Huo Laosi handed the cloth to Su Ren to wipe his face.

Su Ren took it and wiped his face: "Money is not a problem, we have already said this matter, as long as they have the goods, it will be twice as expensive, let's buy it too!" ”

"Hey!" Cui Jiuming gritted his teeth: "Okay, go crazy with you!" ”

Several people were talking, and Hawking ran in from the door with a happy face, and as soon as he saw the figure, he heard his shout: "Big brother, good thing!" Here's where the good thing comes! ”

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw that my father Huo Laosi and Cui Jiuming were also there, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Su Ren smiled: "What's a good thing?" ”

"Tang Meng! It's Tang Meng, something happened to him! ”

"What? Did Tang Meng really have an accident? Cui Jiuming was startled, and quickly turned his head to look at Su Ren.

Su Ren ignored Cui Jiuming and looked at Hawking.

Hawking continued: "An assassin came to Tang Meng's house, he almost killed Tang Meng, I heard that he was scared sick, he couldn't get out during this time, and all the places related to Tang Meng in the city were smashed overnight, and there were still dead people in our Xicheng, and the public of the Taishou Mansion was tracking, and the streets have gone crazy!" ”

Su Ren smiled: "Why did I think it was a big deal?" After speaking, he continued to tell Cui Jiuming and Huo Laosi about things.

At this time, Cui Jiuming felt a chill down his spine, and this Su Ren in front of him was too terrifying. If he was Su Ren's enemy, I am afraid that he would not know how he died, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Su Ren.
