Chapter 182 New Subordinates

Restaurant.

Shopkeeper Bao greeted Xi Niang and Jiang Xiucai early in the morning.

Xi Niang is the proprietress of the restaurant. She is responsible for the external procurement of the villa. She also has a force called the "Red Paper House" under her, which specializes in assassinations, human trafficking, and intelligence spying. The power of Wanjian City and Qingyi Tower is not comparable to his.

In a city occupied by this Jianghu sect, the official forces are also just a decoration here. Anyone who comes here to be an official knows the ins and outs and knows that they need to pay homage to the dock when taking office.

Jiang Xiucai is that effeminate young man. This guy looks like a man of letters, but he is engaged in the most disgusting business of "human donkey". As the name suggests, it is a business that treats people like donkeys. The whole "living material" of Wanjian City flows out from his hands. All the organizations under his hands are ruthless thieves in July. According to Daqi's The law will judge, and everyone can survive. Half of the people trafficked by Xiniang were eaten by them.

Finally, there is shopkeeper Bao.

Compared to the two of them, Shopkeeper Bao's business is not much better.

Theft, gambling, loan sharking.

He does whatever makes money! The reason why his subordinates call him Boss Bao is because he controls a chamber of commerce and calls himself the 'Big Shopkeeper'. On weekdays, he behaves like a shopkeeper, always greeting people and sending them off, looking like a businessman.

"What's the matter with calling me here so early?"

Jiang Xiucai yawned.

Next to her, Xiniang also looked lethargic.

"problem occurs."

Shopkeeper Bao didn't make any detours with them.

He couldn't handle that batch of refined iron business alone, and half of the money in it was invested by these two people.

"The fine iron is lost."

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Xiucai and Xi Niang's expressions turned cold.

The previous lazy demeanor disappeared instantly.

"You are joking?!"

"You should all know what happened last night."

Shopkeeper Bao didn’t hide anything.

They are all grasshoppers on a rope.

“Where’s my money!!”

Xi Niang's eyes were full of evil, and everyone who knew her well knew that she was angry.

The friendship between these three people.

It was originally based on interests, but now the interests have been damaged.

What is friendship? .

"The anger is a bit less, it's just a slight change." Shopkeeper Bao poured the tea calmly.

"A little change? That's easy to say!"

"That's 300,000 taels of silver!! And the people involved in it, if something goes wrong, none of us will be able to survive."

Jiang Xiucai knocked the tea cup off the table, looking like he was about to take action.

"That's why we have to find a solution!"

Shopkeeper Bao held down the teacup and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, let's see what regulations you can come up with today. If you can't solve it, don't blame me for being unkind."

Both of them also sat down, knowing that noisy would not solve the problem.

The stall of Mingjian Villa is their main attraction. All their power comes from here, and now the business in the villa is in trouble. None of them can escape!

"I used the name of the new owner of the village to ask the government for a batch of refined iron."

Shopkeeper Bao said calmly.

Thirty cartloads of fine iron were lost, and the owner of the mountain villa was fully responsible. Now that the government is asked to fill the vacancy, what do the people above think? After the trouble is over, there will definitely be accountability, and as the signing applicant, Wu Chong, the new owner of the village, is definitely the first person responsible.

"You are asking him to be the scapegoat."

Jiang Xiucai thought for a moment and understood what Shopkeeper Bao was thinking.

The missing amount is so huge, including the missing cars, there are a total of sixty cars! If someone found out about this, even the heads of ten village owners wouldn't be enough to chop him off.

"Can he agree?"

Xi Niang frowned.

Even though she looked down on the new owner last night, he really didn't want to offend him if necessary.

After all, there are a few simple people who can be the owners of the village.

"I agreed on his behalf."

Shopkeeper Bao said calmly.

It could be seen from his tone that he really didn't take the new village owner seriously.

"Isn't this bad? After all, he is the owner of the village." Jiang Xiucai said he disagreed, but he actually accepted the plan.

Your own interests are the real interests.

Mingjian Villa does not belong to him, Jiang Xiucai.

"It's just a child with a yellow mouth. I don't want him to know. He is just a blind man!"

While shopkeeper Bao was talking, he took out a piece of material and threw it on the table.

"This is the owner's schedule today."

The two picked up the materials above and looked through them.

"Went to Hidden Sword Pavilion and then wandered around the streets?"

Looking at the information that Shopkeeper Bao brought out, both Jiang Xiucai and Xi Niang were a little confused.

What are the three things a new official should do when he takes office?

This is too stupid! I don't know how to use the power in my hands.

"Maybe he's just pretending." Seeing Wu Chong's behavior, Xiniang felt uneasy.

It's so abnormal.

"So what if he's pretending? As long as we unite, he can't do anything!" At this point, a trace of disdain flashed in Shopkeeper Bao's eyes.

"Is it possible that he could still ignore the rules and kill us all?"

Mingjian Villa is a Jianghu sect registered in Daqi.

As long as you still have this layer of skin, you must act according to the rules. This is the common understanding of everyone.

The new village owner wouldn't just kill people regardless of the rules, right?

Unless he doesn’t want to be involved in Daqi’s officialdom anymore!

"Let's do it! Don't wait too long."

It would be nice to have a solution.

Wu Chong pinched to death a Jiang Hu Ke who was following him in the market. This man had a popular face. He was the kind that no one would notice if he was thrown into a crowd. His strength was only at the level of the second level and first level. , this strength is enough for Daqi to do the job of looking after homes and nursing homes.

Looking back at the empty alley entrance, Wu Chong stretched out his palm and pressed it on the other person's chest.

A piece of fresh 'human skin' spread from the palm of his hand, like wearing clothes, bit by bit attached to the surface of the other person's body, and finally assimilated into an identical piece of skin.

After a while.

The already cold 'corpse' on the ground twitched, and then stood up again in a strange way.

"What's your name?"

"Zhao Jianglong!"

The human skin adapted to the body, and the strength of the body's surface increased rapidly. The original strength of the first level of the second realm has been upgraded to the first level of the third realm in a few breaths, which is still in the late stage!

The level 110 human skin did not disappoint him.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

Wu Chong was very satisfied with this helper.

Because Zhao Jianglong was different from him. He was a native of Wanjian City and a peripheral member of Shopkeeper Bao's influence. With this identity, coupled with the strength of the human skin, many things that are difficult to handle as a village owner will be easier to handle.

"clear."

Zhao Jianglong showed a knowing smile on his face.

Without much communication, the rest will be arranged.

The two of them walked out of the alley one after the other.

The person being followed is Zhao Jianglong himself. He can just make up whatever happened here. Even if there were some other people outside, no one dared to look at the entrance of the alley. If there really was one, Zhao Jianglong would not be the only one who died inside.
