Chapter 65: Knock on the door

As an island nation, Ryukyu was not as prosperous as the neighboring Ming Dynasty, Fuso, or even Goryeo. The Ryukyu royal family did not have many children, so it did not breed a set of aristocratic rules.

On the contrary, trade on the island is unimpeded. No matter where the ships of merchants from all over the world are going, they all need to stop here.

Therefore, the merchants of the Ryukyus did a very big job. Their status is transcendent, and they even have a faint status on an equal footing with the nobility. This would not have been possible anywhere else.

Loeb & Loeb, a big businessman, is the best of all businessmen. Ryukyuan people only have first names, not surnames. However, Loeb's name is known to everyone in the Ryukyus.

Whoever wants to eat rice, salt, clothes, and cloth must go into Loeb's shop. It can be said that food, clothing, housing, transportation, firewood, rice, oil and salt are all where Loeb makes money.

Loeb & Loeb is a man who knows how to protect his wealth. If he is a businessman, if he does not have the protection of the royal family, he will be looted in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, in addition to keeping some family thugs in a low-key manner, he also pays attention to paying attention to the royal family at all times.

Lebo has a son and a daughter. The son does business for himself all the year round and is a right-hand man. And the daughter is a rare beauty.

It is said that if a big businessman like him can marry his daughter into the royal family, it must be the best plan.

It's just that the king of the Ryukyus is much older than his daughter, and he used to favor the queen wholeheartedly. Seeing that it is impossible for his daughter to be accepted as a side concubine.

But this daughter is close to the age of the county lord Jiang Dai, and it can be regarded as a match, and the two of them have become sisters in the boudoir.

Although Loeb's daughter Lanna is not as shocking as Jiang Dai, she can be regarded as a beautiful girl. Plus she has a soft and sweet personality, which is very likable.

Lebo regards his daughter as the pearl of his palm. The more she grows, the more reluctant Loeb is to let her get married. always hopes that his daughter Lanna can finally find a lover and be a rich wife who does not have to worry about food and clothing.

As for the major events that have been going on in Shuri Castle in the past few days, Loeb and Loeb knows about it, but he doesn't take it to heart. The officers and soldiers arrested people, at most, they went to the street to forcibly pull some people's girls, and it had no effect on a big businessman like him.

Even so, he repeatedly told his daughter Lanna not to show her face outside these days.

Fortunately, her daughter is well-behaved and sensible, and she never needs to worry about herself. She had been doing some needlework in the house for more than ten days, and Loeb really put her heart down.

It wasn't until this morning that he heard a loud noise at the gate of his compound, and he rushed over to see what was going on.

Although Shurijo Castle was the capital of the Ryukyus, it was built on an island. It is surrounded by the sea, and there are volcanoes on the island. There is not a lot of flat land that can be inhabited.

Therefore, even the largest businessman in the Ryukyus, such as Lebo, lived in a mansion that was not wider than that of ordinary rich people in the Ming Dynasty.

Loeb walked out of his main house, only to see his family arguing with the Gong Guards. What would this look like?

Loeb & Loeb was really confused. He himself has some face in both the royal family and the Gong Guard. Why did anyone come to his door today?

In the end, Loeb & Loeb is the big boss who is in charge of the business of thousands of people. He walked to the door of the house calmly, and first raised his hand to stop the family's movements.

Don't look at the calm on Le Bo's face, in fact, he has secretly observed the armor and clothing on these Gong Guards for a long time, and it is indeed not that someone is cheating.

Le Bo asked in a deep voice: "I don't know why a few little generals came to my house? My family doesn't know the severity, and I ask a few little generals to forgive me." ”

His words were beautiful and polite, and the expression on his face was neither annoyed nor humble, and he was indeed a character.

The leading soldier shouted, "We have conclusive evidence that the assassin that the king wants to capture is hiding in your house." We have been ordered to come and arrest us, and no one else is waiting for Luo!"

But these words were extremely blunt, and they did not give the largest businessman in the Ryukyus any face.

Loeb listened to the soldier's words, but his heart sank. With his status today, there are naturally acquaintances in the palace. So it is impossible for Loeb not to know who the assassins the king hunts every day are.

And the "assassin" Jiang Dai County Lord is indeed quite reasonable with his daughter. Could it be that the daughter actually hid the absconding county lord in her own house without telling herself? This is not impossible......

Although Loeb was beating a drum in his heart, his face was still calm and calm. He quickly thought through the various joints one by one, and said, "I'm afraid that the little generals are mistaken. I'm just a businessman, and I've always earned money with a conscience. Every year I don't dare to be less, and I am as close as a brother to your general. How could you do such a stupid thing as hiding an assassin?"

The leader of the general is none other than Ti Zhu Jie. He had three cups of yellow soup in his stomach, and when he was pampered by his comrades, he had the courage to come to the door of Loeb's house to make trouble.

If you want to catch a stunning beauty and go back. Who can be regarded as a stunning beauty? In the past, it must have been the first queen and the county lord Jiang Dai.

Now these two people don't have the ability to catch them themselves, and Lanna, the first-class Loeb daughter Lanna, can be regarded as beautiful.

The cold wind has been blowing at the door for a long time now, and the wine has already woken up. But since he has already knocked on the door and made trouble, he must get things done.

I can't say, the best situation today is to offend Loeb, but because of the beauty of the king's appreciation. At worst, it's just a loss of my job and a small deal in the future.

But if you don't make a fuss, you will one day be in a different place because of the king's anger.

Jie Jie never felt that he was here today to knock on the door, and he was calculated by others. He just felt that everything was taken for granted and that he had made his own decisions.

Le Bo saw that the generals were arrogant and unsympathetic, and there were only a dozen of his subordinates, and there was no good fruit to eat when he was hostile to the Gong Guard.

While quietly sending someone to find the general Manchu to investigate, he said: "If the little general doesn't believe it, just come and search." There will be no Assassins in my house. But if you can't find the assassin, I wonder how the little general plans to end it?"

Jie knew that he was riding a tiger, and he would never allow himself to be discouraged. Besides, he didn't plan to capture any assassins at all, and he wanted to bring Loeb's daughter Lanna back to her life.

This time, life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. You have to get the plan through to the end. Rolling Jie stiffened his neck and said, "If you can't catch the assassin, you can just dispose of it." Get out of the way!"

Jie Jie shouted violently, which shocked the rest of the people's hearts. His heart is now excited, and his hands are full of strength.

Jie pushed away the people who were blocking him, and boldly broke in with his subordinates. Rampage through Loeb's house, rummaging through boxes and cabinets. When he saw a woman, he first pulled him and searched for it.

Loeb rushed up when he saw this, but he still calmly asked his subordinates first: "Is it true that Miss has been staying in the house obediently these days, and has she not brought anyone else back?"

After receiving an affirmative reply, Loeb sneered and said, "Let them be arrogant." Look at me afterwards like a good retribution!"
