Chapter 331 Arrogant and Domineering
"What do you mean? You took our things and you don't want to do anything for us?" Shi Gandang slammed the table, breaking the heavy mahogany dining table into pieces, and suddenly stood up and shouted.
"In today's world, winners take all, and losers lose everything and die without a place to die. If you say I took your things, so what if I took them?"
Li Mu looked at Shi Gandang and smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped Shi Gandang a few times, and then walked directly outside.
"Remember what I said, I don't say it twice!"
Li Mu left the Liu family. The six village owners in the Liu family's flower hall had gloomy faces. Only Liu Fugui looked cold and didn't seem too worried.
"This kid is so arrogant. He took our things and dared not to do things for us. Aren't you afraid that we will sue him if we go to Kuangdao?" Qi Baisheng said with a cold face.
"Haha, are our Lianyun Qizhai just kids playing house? If something happens, we have to go to an adult to complain. What's more, that boy and Crazy Sword are our own. In this situation, do you think Crazy Sword will Do you believe in us, or do you believe in that kid?" Liu Fugui waved his hand casually, asking the servants to clean up the mess in the flower hall, and said calmly.
"Brother, you are the leader of our Lian Yun Qizhai, so what do you think we should do now?" Hou Liang said with a gloomy face, "I think since this kid is so dishonest, let him disappear. !”
"How strong do you think this Li Mu is?" Liu Fugui sighed and said, "The older you get, the less courageous you are. Unfortunately, we have no signal here and our mobile phones cannot be used. We couldn't figure out where that kid came from for a while. , it would be easier if we figured out where he came from!"
"Brother, in my opinion, that kid is only a grandmaster at most. One of us is no match for him. How can seven of us swarm him not be able to deal with him?" Shi Gandang said disapprovingly, "Besides, the sky is high and the emperor is far away here. , So what if that kid has some background? There are very few people who have been eaten by monsters these days? One more person is not too much, and one person less than him is not a lot!"
"That's right, Dang Duan continues to suffer the consequences!" Several other village leaders looked at each other and curled their lips. Why do the older you get, the less courageous you are. Last month, someone in Liujia Town accidentally offended the Liu family and killed someone. You are the traitor, wife and daughter in the whole family. Why are you pretending to be a good person now?
"Then let's do it. After all, this kid is the master of the inner sect of Wuhan University. It would be troublesome to kill him directly. Tomorrow, we will arrange for him to go around Liujia Town and let him see whether Liujia Town's surname is Kuang or Liu. By then he should know the current situation. If he knows that he was wrong and sincerely apologizes to us, then let him take the money and leave!"
"If he continues to be obsessed with it, then needless to say, luring him out of the town will at most result in an unowned grave outside the town!"
Liu Fugui said calmly.
"Okay, let's do it!" The other six village masters nodded and said.
On the other side, Li Mu left the Liu family. He looked behind him carefully and found that neither the Liu family nor the village owners sent anyone to follow him. It seemed that these guys didn't want to do anything in the town. If Li Mu really died, In the town, I'm afraid they will be in big trouble.
The previous attack on the Crazy Blade Club's station could be said to be a monster attack on the town. The Crazy Blade Club's station was implicated. However, if Li Mu entered the town with his front foot, his back foot would be dead. Besides, it would be unreasonable to say that it was a monster attack. .
"Get me a room!" Li Mu came out of Liu's house, found a simple little hotel, threw a golden bean over and said.
The golden beans were made directly from gold sand by Li Mu. In some places, this thing is better than alliance currency, because alliance currency cannot be used in areas controlled by the demon clan, but gold is hard currency.
"Sorry, guest, all the rooms here are full!"
The owner of the hotel was immediately happy when he saw Jin Douzi, with a greedy look on his face, but when he raised his head and saw Li Mu clearly, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly returned Jin Douzi.
"Is it full?" Li Mu looked at the owner of the hotel. The owner felt guilty and did not dare to look at him. He just nodded and bowed with a smile on his face.
Obviously, this matter was probably told by the Liu family. The purpose was to give Li Mu a show of strength and let Li Mu see what the Liu family was capable of. Without the Liu family’s nod, Li Mu might not even have a place in Liujia Town. nothing.
Li Mu didn't waste any time. He turned around and left. He returned to the ruins where the Mad Sword Society was stationed. He sat down cross-legged in his original position, closed his eyes and meditated on the Holy Spirit's swordsmanship. With the memory of those thirty years integrated into it, Li Mu didn't see anything. After all, would you still care about this little thing?
Li Mu didn't pay attention to the leaders of Lianyun No. 7 Village in Liujia Town, Liu Fugui and the six village leaders at all. What Li Mu cared about was the people behind Liu Fugui and the others.
Obviously, those big figures that Ma Sanqiang mentioned are not simple. These people may be half-demon people from the Demon City, or they may be other traitors. In chaotic times, heroes and traitors always emerge in large numbers.
There are heroes who do not care about personal life and death, for the sake of mission, and fight to the death to kill monsters. There are also traitors who regard thieves as their fathers, wishing they could make monsters their fathers, and regard their own kind as enemies of life and death, who want to get rid of them quickly. There are also those who just want to kill monsters. A guy who wants to live on his own and live well, is selfish, has no morality, no bottom line, and dares to do anything.
In this era, there is a mixture of good and bad, and everything is available, but it is obvious that the people behind Liu Fugui and the others are not simple. Liu Fugui and others are all masters, and they control smuggling in such a large town. They are powerful and powerful, and ordinary people will never be able to control it. them.
It's useless to just kill people like Liu Fugui. These people are just puppets supported by the people behind them. Even if they are all killed, the people behind them can still support new people after a while.
If you want to take action, eradicate the roots and kill all the people behind Liujia Town. Otherwise, it will be in vain.
"It seems we have to find a way to lure out the people behind Liu Fugui and the others!" Li Mu said to himself.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky lit up, Liujia Town was already bustling with activity. Carloads of goods were being loaded and taken away by caravans. The martial monks outside the caravan all had strong auras and vigilant expressions on their faces.
These caravans want to transport the goods traded from Liujia Town back to Jiangcheng. Along the way, which is hundreds of kilometers, they have to guard against not only monsters, but also people, ruthless bandits, wanted criminals, and mountaineers who are more dangerous than monsters. Thieves, half-demon people, and evil cultivators may attack them.
But no matter how dangerous this place is, it can't stop people's greed, because the profits of many businesses here are so huge that they can no longer be described as huge profits.
Early in the morning, Li Mu watched several caravans leaving the city together. Then he walked directly to Liu's house, but was stopped before he could reach Liu's house.
"Mr. Li, our owner said that the account book information you want is in each store. If you want to see it, just go there!"
Butler Wang stopped Li Mu at the door and said.
"Okay, you lead the way!" Li Mu didn't say much and nodded directly. He wanted to see what other tricks people like Liu Fugui could play.
"Mr. Li, please come this way!" A sneer flashed across Butler Wang's face, and he led Li Mu directly into Liujia Town.
"How many shops does the Liu family have in the town?" Li Mu asked as he walked.
"Liujia Town has a total of 578 fixed shops with stores up and down the town. There are a total of 266 shops under our owner's name, and there are another 127 stores in which our owner is a shareholder. That’s right, the remaining shops belong to the six village owners and some of the other nobles!”
"Our head of the family also has a nickname in Liujia Town. Many people in the town privately call the head of the house Liu Bancheng!" Butler Wang said proudly.
"In a town with a population of 40,000 to 50,000, more than half of the shops are related to your Liu family, and it is indeed Liu Bancheng!" Li Mu said lightly with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
This Liu Fugui seems to be really rich. The smuggling profits in Liujia Town are so huge, and this old boy accounts for half of them. I'm afraid his family's money can hardly be piled up in the warehouse.
Liu Fugui is like this, and the other big village owners are probably not far behind. Their business in the town is less than Liu Fugui's, but in their respective villages, there is probably no shortage of various businesses.
As long as Lianyun Qizhai is taken down, it will definitely be a great achievement. By then, no one within the Crazy Sword Association will dare to openly oppose Li Mu becoming the vice president.
"Here we are, Mr. Li, this is Liuji Grain and Oil Store. Liuji Grain and Oil Store is also a sole proprietorship of our family!" Within two steps, Butler Wang led Li Mu into a grain and oil store.
Grain and oil are also in short supply in the demon city. The human fortress encourages people to grow food and refine oil. But in the demon city, which demon clan will care about half-demon people, or those people who are traitors and do not grow food. If there is no food, there will be no oil. , Humans are omnivorous creatures, and it is impossible for them to follow the demon clan and eat meat and drink blood every day.
Some people have high status and don't care about meat. They eat it as a vegetable instead of a staple food. They still need to eat grain. Where does the grain come from, it is naturally smuggled. Not only is it smuggled, but the profit is definitely not low.
"Steward Wang, you are a distinguished guest. Why are you here today?" The shopkeeper in charge trotted over quickly, nodding and bowing.
"I came here today because I have something to do. This is the special envoy of the Crazy Sword Club. I came here specifically to check the accounts today. Take out all the account books in the store and show them to the special envoy!" Steward Wang pointed at Li Mu and said.
"Ledger? Sorry, there was a heavy rain last night. Our store's ledger was soaked by the heavy rain and cannot be viewed. If the special envoy wants to see the ledger, he may have it when he comes next year!"
The shopkeeper glanced at Li Mu and said nonchalantly.
"Oh, that's really unfortunate, Mr. Li, what do you think?" Butler Wang smiled, pretending to be embarrassed and looked at Li Mu and asked.
"Next house!" Li Mu smiled without saying much, turned around and left. Wangjia Town, where he came yesterday, has been enjoying crisp autumn weather these past few days, with sunny skies and no rain. Where did the heavy rain soak the ledger?
"Hmph, the Crazy Sword Club is all old history. We only recognize the Liu family now. Who knows who the Crazy Sword Club is and wants to check the accounts? Bah!"
As soon as Li Mu and Butler Wang walked out, the shopkeeper deliberately spoke in a voice that they could hear.
"Mr. Li, don't be offended. These shopkeepers are outsiders and unfaithful. Don't behave like them!" Butler Wang showed a trace of pride on his face and said deliberately, as if Li Mu was being petty if he tried to be serious with the shopkeeper. Not knowledgeable.
"It doesn't matter, these people will soon know what the Crazy Blade will do!" Li Mu said lightly.
Steward Wang's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt uneasy. He smiled awkwardly and quickly took Li Mu to the second store, which was called Liu's Weapons Store.
All for sale are a variety of hot and cold weapons, including hot weapons such as pistols, assault rifles, and grenades, as well as modified heavy crossbows, and in particular, bows and arrows mixed with crystal powder. However, these bows are strong crossbows. The amount of crystal powder mixed into it is very small, and most of it is raw ore powder without purification, so its power is very limited.
At most, it can only deal with low-level monsters. It is useless when encountering slightly more powerful monsters. But as long as you can afford the money, this weapons store also has a small number of high-quality weapons for sale.
As soon as they heard that Li Mu wanted to audit the accounts, the attitude of this weapons store was even worse than that of the first one. They directly shouted that they didn't know what the Crazy Knife was and told Li Mu to get out and not hinder their business.
I looked at seven or eight stores in a row. All the stores had the same attitude, as if they had been greeted in advance. There were even some guys who were so bold that they dared to insult Li Mu.
"Mr. Li, these shopkeepers are all uneducated and ignorant. In my opinion, you don't need to check them!" After walking through several shops, Butler Wang couldn't help being proud and said deliberately.
He thought to himself that no matter how ignorant this kid was, he should have woken up by now. Liujia Town had already been managed in a monolithic manner. Let alone Li Mu, he was afraid that even if the president of the Crazy Sword Association, King Nie, came, these shopkeepers would I won't recognize it either.
"This store also belongs to the Liu family?" Li Mu suddenly stopped in front of a human trafficking store. There was a row of dirty children tied to wooden stakes in front of the store.
These children, both male and female, were tied to wooden stakes like animals. They were as skinny as firewood and huddled together with frightened faces. Whenever anyone passing by looked at them, they would be scared to death. Trembling.
"Yes, this is the best business for our Liu family, with huge profits. As long as you kidnap the children from Jiangcheng and sell them to Demon City, you can earn ten times or a hundred times. It's hard to survive now, and many men and women in Jiangcheng have to work hard. You work to make money, and there is no one to watch your children at home, so it is easy to abduct them!"
Butler Wang didn't pay attention to Li Mu's face at all, but said proudly.
"Call the shopkeeper out!"
"Butler Wang, who is this? I'm very busy. I have to prepare a batch of goods and have to send them away tomorrow. The piglets at the door have been ordered. I don't have time to talk to someone who came out of nowhere. Guy bullshit!”
A middle-aged man with a fat head came out and said impatiently.
Just as Steward Wang was about to speak, he saw Li Mu appear in front of the middle-aged man instantly, and punched the guy directly. The guy didn't even have time to scream and flew back, exploding in the air. In an instant, the sky was filled with blood and flesh.
