According to Zhang Qi, this person is not like a businessman, but more like a local snake.

Liu Yunxiang thought that he was forced to buy these silks, and he must be a cloth merchant, but he did not have a cloth shop, which means that he bought these silks only to be transported to Xiyue to buy them, so as to earn the difference.

Even the payment for the goods has to wait for him to sell this batch of goods before settling it for them, which is equivalent to an empty glove white wolf.

"I'm going to meet this guy." Liu Yunxiang said in a deep voice.

But whoever inquired about her Lingyun, no one dared to touch her Lingyun's goods, this person was really too rampant.

Since this man did not have a shop, if you wanted to find him, you had to go directly to his mansion.

"As soon as we entered the city with this shipment, we were stopped by a group of people who said they wanted to buy our goods. We refused, so they just pulled it away, only saying that they would go to Duanfu on Chengxi Street to collect the payment for the goods in a month. He didn't even ask how much it would cost, I thought they should be happy to give as much as they wanted. Zhang Qi said.

"Chengxi Street Duanfu?"

"Yes."

Liu Yunxiang changed into ordinary clothes, dressed up a little more plain, and then took Zhang Qi and a few guys to Chengxi Street. I just searched around, but I didn't find this part of the house.

"Isn't it, they don't want to pay for the goods at all, they cheated us?" Zhang Qi frowned.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the west street of the city, there were low rough houses on both sides, how could there be any mansion, probably deceived. She was thinking about how to find this person, when she saw the female proprietress of the cloth shop she had helped come out of an alley. At the same time, she also saw her, and hurriedly ran forward, and was about to salute, but was stopped by Liu Yunxiang.

"Not necessarily."

Seeing Liu Yunxiang's makeup, the woman knew that she didn't want to reveal her identity, so she nodded hurriedly, "Madam, why are you here?" But what's the matter? How might a woman help you? ”

Liu Yunxiang thought that she was a local and a cloth merchant, so she might know her.

"A merchant surnamed Duan, he often transports silk to West Vietnam for trading, this person should have some power in the local area, do you know this person?"

"You mean Second Master Duan?" The woman knew at once who they were talking about.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "It should be him." ”

"You're looking for him?"

"Truth be told, he stole our goods."

The woman looked shocked, "Then he must not know your identity." ”

"No matter who I am, it's always wrong for him to steal someone else's goods."

The woman nodded, "This second master, oh, his name is Duan Youguang, as you guessed, he is indeed very powerful in Hukou City, and ordinary people dare not provoke him." I just came out of Duanfu, and I want to ship goods to Xiyue to sell, and I need to pay him a protection fee. ”

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "He is not an official government, why should he pay him protection money?" ”

"Walking this section requires passing through the desert, and I am afraid of unexpected dangers, but if you follow his caravan, the safety will be greatly improved. It is reasonable to pay some protection fees, but it is too much to ask for a 10% protection fee. ”

Saying that, the woman sighed, "We have no choice but to give it to him." ”

"Who the hell is he?"

"He ......" The woman hesitated for a moment and whispered, "His brother-in-law is Fan Qiang, the general of Hukou City, that is, his protective umbrella." ”

Liu Yunxiang thought about Fan Qiang carefully, he should be the general who was full of scum and looked very short-tempered. Now she needs to unite the generals of the five cities to resist the chaos brought about by the reduction of the army, so she shouldn't pursue this matter at this time.

The woman pointed in the direction of Duanfu with them, and then left.

Liu Yunxiang stood at the mouth of the alley and began to hesitate whether to go or not.

"Girl, let's focus on the overall situation." Zhang Qi said.

"Indeed it should be."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, turned around and was about to leave, but saw several young men in short clothes dragging a young woman towards this side.

"Let go of me! Please let me go! ”

"I don't want to go to Duanfu, I don't want to serve that bully!"

"You brutes, let me go, I'm going to report to the official!"

The woman was forced, her face was full of tears, her eyes were full of horror, she wanted to struggle, but she didn't have enough strength to break free from a few strong men.

She was followed by a lame middle-aged man, who was skinny and struggled to chase after her.

"Do well, let my daughter go. I will pay back the money, and I will pay it back, but I will be given a few more days. Give me back your daughter, she is only sixteen. ”

The man chased after him in a hurry and fell to the ground.

"Daddy!" When the woman saw her father fall, she cried out in fear.

"Juan'er! Juan'er! ”

The man hurriedly got up, but because he was too urgent, he just took a step and planted it again.

"Let my daughter go! Don't hurt her! Don't! The man pounded the ground in a hurry.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yunxiang frowned and glanced at Zhang Qi. Zhang Qi understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the young men.

"In broad daylight, you robbed the people's daughters, is there any royal law in your eyes?" He asked angrily.

When several people heard this, they burst into laughter.

"Wang Fa? Haha, in Hukou City, our Second Master Duan is the king! ”

"What a big breath!"

"It's from out of town, I don't know who our Second Master Duan is?"

"I'd like to hear who he is."

"He is the wife and brother of General Fan, the defender of Hukou City, if you want to take care of today's idle affairs, first weigh how many catties and taels you have!"

As he spoke, the young men rolled up their sleeves and showed their fists, with a posture that whoever wanted to take care of them, they would beat them.

Zhang Qi waved his hand, and several guys around him stepped forward and rolled up their sleeves.

"Hey, I'm really going to die!"

These people were arrogant and tight, and they waved their fists right away, and Zhang Qi and his guys also greeted them. The guys Zhang Qi brought with him were all practitioners, and the other party was also a thug, and the two sides were inseparable for a while.

The woman who was forcibly tied up hurriedly ran back to help her father up, and hid behind her father in fear.

"Let's go home!"

The father was about to pull his daughter to escape, when a group of people came out of the alley, quickly surrounded the mouth of the alley, and stopped the father and daughter at the same time.

Liu Yunxiang turned his head to look over, but saw a young man walk out step by step. This man was dressed in purple brocade, about twenty years old, wearing embroidered forehead, and his face was like an autumn moon, and he was actually a rare good face.

It's just a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, quenched with a bit of ruthlessness.

"It's been a long time since anyone dared to make trouble on the master's territory, it's boring, it's rare to come to such a few idiots, but it's lively." He stepped forward and clasped his shoulders with his hands, and he really looked like he was watching the excitement.

Liu Yunxiang sneered lightly, "It's so lively, but how did this Hukou City become your Duan family's territory?" ”

Because of these words, the man looked at Liu Yunxiang, and his eyes lit up.

"Yo, there is still a little lady here, I'm afraid it's not a fairy descending to earth? Specially here to serve the master? ”
