Chapter 18: Branches

"My family has been in business for generations, and I don't want to just inherit the ancestral business and stick to the old rules, so I will bring people to Xichu to do business, thinking that I can break out. It's just that I didn't expect that not long after I arrived in Xichu, a servant girl was lost at home, and the servant girl came to Xichu with me. It's a pity that after I reported to the government, the government never found it, so I had to look for it myself, and then I found that there were many missing girls, and I slowly found out about this small trader.

Today I was about to catch this small trader, and in a blink of an eye, the person disappeared, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by two girls. If it weren't for the two girls, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find this person. I have just escorted him to the government office, and I am waiting for the government to hear the news. ”

After Gu Shiqi finished speaking, he drank a cup of tea directly, looking really tired just now.

"Gu Gongzi is coming to Xichu to do business?" Lianzhi's question was very meaningful, and Wen Yunxi also looked at Gu Shiqi.

Gu Shiqi is good-looking and has an outstanding temperament, and he doesn't look like a businessman at all, but like a son of a family. Gu Shiqi laughed out loud when he heard this: "Miss Lin's eyes are so good, my business in Xichu is secondary, mainly to make a name for myself in the political career." My Gu family has been in business for generations, and if I can embark on a political career, the Gu family will have something to rely on in the future. ”

"Gu Gongzi is still sincere." Lianzhi didn't know whether it was praise or sarcasm.

Gu Shiqing said with a smile: "But the two girls still have to be careful when they go out, don't go with strangers casually, otherwise you won't know what will happen next time." ”

"Do you hear that, don't leave with strangers in the future." Lianzhi told Wen Yunxi, and Wen Yunxi nodded: "I know, I admit my mistake, this time I was wrong." ”

Lianzhi and Wen Yunxi concealed their identities from Gu Shiqi, only saying that the two were sisters and both were surnamed Lin, so Gu Shiqi called Lianzhilin and Wen Yunxi Xiaolin.

"Miss Xiaolin, you look easy to deceive, you still have to be a little attentive outside." Gu Shiqi said.

Wen Yunxi glanced at him: "I usually don't see these people at all." ”

Lian Zhi heard Wen Yunxi's words and pushed her wrist, Wen Yunxi realized that she had lost her words, but looking at Gu Shiqi's normal appearance, she didn't seem to hear the inappropriateness in Wen Miqing's words.

"What do you think of this place after Gu Gongzi came to Xichu?" Wen Yunxi changed the subject.

Gu Shiqi replied: "The people of Western Chu are open, and there are many opportunities, but unfortunately not all opportunities are good. Therefore, when encountering opportunities, we also need to make more judgments. ”

"Gu Gongzi is cautious, and he will definitely be able to seize the opportunity he wants." Lianzhi replied.

"Then Chenglin girl Jiyan." Gu Shiqi said.

Xiao Er began to serve the food, their location was in the lobby, and there was no cubicle at this time. Wen Yunxi didn't care much either, and asked Gan Tang and Su Yue to sit down to eat together.

Wen Yunxi has been giving Lianzhi a dish: "You try this, this is also very delicious." ”

Lian Zhi didn't know what to say about Wen Yunxi, even if Gu Shiqi was a fool, I am afraid that she could see that the two of her were not sisters at all. According to Wen Yunxi's recommended dishes, everyone can see that they are not from Xichu at all. It's just that Gu Shiqi is a smart person, so he didn't find anything.

Just when everyone was halfway through eating, a few people suddenly walked in from outside the door, and when they saw the fat man walking in front, the guests couldn't help but put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands.

"Who is this man?" Wen Yunxi was a little strange, how did he see him, everyone was like a mouse meeting a cat, and the Crane Immortal Residence, which was still lively just now, suddenly quieted down.

Gu Shiqi gestured to Wen Yunxi not to speak, and Wen Yunxi immediately stopped talking.

"Prince Wang, why are you here today?" The shopkeeper personally came forward to receive the prince.

The prince and the servant were menacing, and the shopkeeper kept laughing.

"My son is going to eat at your place today, so make room for me."

"Of course, we must make room for the prince."

The shopkeeper originally wanted to find a private room for Wang Gongzi, but Wang Gongzi saw Gu Shiqi and saw the people eating at the same table with Gu Shiqi, and his eyes lit up.

"Isn't this Gu Shiqi? Why, with the money stolen from my royal family, invite a woman to come to the Crane Immortal Residence for dinner? Wang Li's gaze stayed on Lianzhi.

Gu Shiqi stood up and blocked Wang Li's gaze at Lianzhi: "Wang Gongzi, I'm just doing business, how can I say it's a robbery?" ”

"You dare to move my Wang family's business, why do you only say these nice things when you see me? Yo, four women, can you parry? Wang Li said sarcastically.

Wen Yunxi couldn't help it, and took the case: "If you can't speak, shut up, I am the one who invited you to dinner today, and it has nothing to do with Gu Gongzi." ”

"Yo, Gu Shiqi, you are really going back more and more, and you have to be invited by a woman to dinner." After Wang Li finished speaking, he looked at Wen Yunxi, "How about it, have a meal with me, I'll have a treat." ”

"Keep your mouth clean, if you're disrespectful to us like this, don't blame me for being rude." Wen Yunxi was so angry that even Lianzhi couldn't pull her.

The shopkeeper immediately came to persuade Wen Yunxi: "This girl, don't say it, this prince is the nephew of the prime minister, you should pay compensation." ”

"It turned out to be the prime minister's nephew? Even if it is the prime minister's son who is here today, it is impossible for me to apologize, and he was disrespectful to us just now, why should we apologize? This is Chu Jing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is there any royal law? After Wen Yunxi finished speaking, Wang Li rushed up and was about to slap him, Gan Tang immediately went to stop Wang Li, but was directly thrown away by Wang Li.

"Gantang!" Su Yue hurried to help Gantang, Wang Li rushed up and was about to hit Wen Yunxi, Gu Shiqi hurriedly stopped Wang Li, and Lianzhi protected Wen Yunxi behind him.

Wang Li was restrained by Gu Shiqi, and he was also angry, and shouted at the family behind him: "Give it to Lao Tzu, kill someone and count it as mine." ”

Those family members rushed over to Lianzhi, Gu Shiqi let go of Wang Li to stop those family members, and Lianzhi pushed Wen Yunxi to the side of Su Yue and Gan Tang: "You guys go to the side and hide." ”

Those families began to smash around, guests ran around, and the whole Crane Immortal Residence was in chaos.

Wang Li took a few family members to catch Lianzhi directly, but Gu Shiqi was stopped by other family members, and it was difficult to pass for a while, and he shouted anxiously: "Miss Lin! ”

Lianzhi slapped the table, a chopstick was shaken into the air, Lianzhi waved his hand, and the chopsticks brushed Wang Li's cheek, and then sank deep into the plank. Wang Li touched the wound on his face and looked at Lian Zhi in disbelief.

Everyone was stunned by Lianzhi's hand, Gu Shiqi could see that Lianzhi's martial arts were very good, how could a woman's martial arts be so good?

Wang Li was even more angry: "Beat Lao Tzu, beat her to death, and dare to hurt my face." ”

Lian Zhi turned over on the table and kicked those few family members away, Wang Li almost couldn't believe the scene he saw.

Lian Zhi walked up to Wang Li, stared at his face, and said expressionlessly: "I warn you, don't provoke us again, otherwise you will most likely not be able to get out of here today." ”

Wang Li saw the killing intent in Lianzhi's eyes, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, but at this moment he heard someone's ridicule.

Lianzhi put a piece of gold on the table: "We will compensate for the damaged tables and chairs, and we will also pay for the meal." Lian Zhi walked out of the door as he spoke, and Gu Shiqi, Wen Yunxi and others also hurriedly followed.

But when Lianzhi was about to step out of the door, that Wang Li didn't know what was crazy, and picked up a bench and smashed it towards Lianzhi.

"Wanyang, be careful!" Wen Yunxi shouted.

Lian Zhi didn't look back, but she had already stretched out her hand to block the bench, and Wang Li was so frightened that she didn't dare to move at all. Lian Zhi exerted his strength, and the bench actually cracked directly, Wang Li let go, and the cracked bench fell to the ground.

Lian Zhi turned to look at Wang Li, and Wang Li was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground: "I, I didn't mean to......"

Lian Zhi squatted down and looked at Wang Li, who reminded her of a person, the former "friend". The man had escaped from purgatory with her, and she thought she could trust her, but the moment she went out, she raised her sword and stabbed herself.

The last one to survive was Lianzhi, but from that time on, she also understood that in order to live, some people are willing to do anything, even if they turn their backs on their long-time friends.

Lianzhi's eyes were a little red, looking very terrifying, Wang Li was really frightened, he felt that the person in front of him really wanted to kill himself at this moment.

"I am the prime minister's nephew, if you dare to do anything to me, don't blame my uncle for not letting you go." Wang Li did not forget to threaten Lianzhi at this time.
