Chapter 156 Fengcang Chamber of Commerce

Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu continued to go deeper into the alley. At the end of the alley, there was a magnificent building. When they got closer, they saw a plaque with four large gold-plated characters engraved on it - Fengcang Chamber of Commerce!

"Let's go in and take a look!" Shan Zimo was about to walk inside, but was stopped by several people on the porch.

"Who are you? You're barging in without telling your name or your surname?" The man had an expression that made him look like he deserved a beating, which made Shan Zimo very unhappy.

"We are businessmen from other places. We want to do some small business here to make a living. So we would like to ask Fengcang Chamber of Commerce for a meal!" Shan Zimo suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and forced a smile.

"You are quite good at talking, but there is a foreign businessman inside who hasn't come out yet. Either you go back and wait and come back tomorrow, or wait over there and don't stand at the door blocking the way!" As he said that, he pushed Shan Zimo and the other two out.

"What's the tone of your voice?" Shan Boyu pulled the person in front of the door to argue, but was stopped by Shan Zimo. He walked aside, shook his head, and looked at the half-open door with a fake smile.

At this moment, a sedan came to the door of the Chamber of Commerce. The people in front of the door quickly made way for it. A woman got out of the sedan, wearing jingling jewelry and looking very elegant! The maids beside her, one on each side, supported her and walked towards the Chamber of Commerce.

"Madam, you are here!" The flattering expressions in front of the door made Shan Zimo even more disgusted.

"You haven't left yet?" the woman asked arrogantly.

"Madam, he's still inside!"

The woman simply ignored them and walked into Fengcang Chamber of Commerce with the help of her maid and closed the door.

"It looks like this is the wife of the governor," Shan Zimo smiled at the people in front of the door, pulled Shan Boyu and turned to leave, "Let's go back. In this case, we can only come back at night!"

"How about we wait a little longer?" Shan Boyu held Shan Zimo back, "You're always doing this night visit. It would be fine if you climbed over the wall to an ordinary house, but when have you ever visited a nobleman's house at night? We are in Wudu, closer to Xueying Hall, and we have someone to protect us. Now we are in someone else's territory, we better be careful!"

"If you keep nagging, I'll come by myself tonight!" Shan Zimo rolled his eyes, "Were you always this sissy before? Haven't you ever annoyed me to death before?"

"Young Master, you used to be very calm and you didn't commit so many mistakes!"

"Then you just need to get used to it in the future! I will definitely have more things to do with you in the future!"

"Then you should get used to it, young master. Bai Yu's mouth is now on you!"

Shan Zimo and the other man returned to the inn and briefly shared what had happened with the others. Yijianhui frowned and said, "I think we should not be too rash about this!" Although Shan Zimo did not reveal his plan to visit the Fengcang Chamber of Commerce tonight, Yijianhui had guessed a little.

"Master, what do you think is wrong?" asked Xuanyue softly.

"Since they already know that the Snow Shadow Hall is behind Master Yuwen, and coupled with the hypocritical behavior of the Yunyin Sword Sect, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move forward in the East China Sea."

"But I have this!" Shan Zimo said, pulling out a letter from his arms. This was the letter of recommendation Shan Tianao, the second hall master, had asked Shan Zimo to write. "They have to at least put in some superficial effort, right? Even a perfunctory response is fine!"

"If we want to open a tea shop in the East China Sea, we have to continue traveling east to Hailan City and visit the Yunyin Sword Sect. With their permission, we can open shops in Fengcang Town and Hailan City smoothly!" Yijian analyzed, "So, our top priority is to pick up Master Yuwen from the Chamber of Commerce and then go straight to Hailan City!"

"Then I'll go and bring Yu Wenlin out tonight!" Shan Zimo smiled with his mouth crooked.

"Master Yuwen has Jianyun by his side. If they want to get out, they will naturally find a way. Now it seems that Master Yuwen failed to obtain the qualification to open a store, so he is staying in the Chamber of Commerce and won't come out!"

"Why can't I open a tea shop in Fengcang Town?" Yu Wenlin leaned back in his chair, looking unhappy. "I have opened a tea shop from the North Country and this is the first time I have encountered such a situation."

"Sir, it's not impossible for you to open a tea shop. We just have to go through the procedures, right?" a man in the Chamber of Commerce explained.

"This young master has come to the Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with you. I have paid all the membership fees. Now you tell me that I am not allowed to open a tea shop?" Yu Wenlin leaned forward with a questioning look on his face.

"It's really not easy to make a living in this tea shop in Fengcang Town!" The man explained with a smile, "If you really want to do some business, you can think about it again!"

"Why? Because I opened a tea shop and robbed your governor's wife of her livelihood?" Yu Wenlin smiled disdainfully, "Don't think I don't know. I've already found out!"

When the man heard what Yuwenlin said, he was suddenly stunned. Another man next to him hurriedly whispered something in his ear, and the man's attitude changed immediately!

"I heard that the other owner behind your tea shop is Shan Zimo, the eldest son of the Snow Shadow Hall, the first sect in Wu Country?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? Can't the young master do business?"

"Could it be that opening the tea shop is a cover and coming to the East China Sea is to monitor the Yunyin Sword Sect?" The man's very confident expression made Yuwen Lin speechless.

"Surveillance on Yunyin Sword Sect?" Yuwen Lin jumped up from his chair. "I have nothing to do? Do you know how much money I make a day? Why would I have the time to monitor Yunyin Sword Sect? Can he give me money? The young master of Xueying Hall is just an owner of my tea shop. They are the number one sect, with so many disciples to feed. They must have a way to make money!"

"How about this, the president of the Chamber of Commerce is not here today, so you go back first, sir. We can talk about the qualification to open a tea shop later!" The man tried to drive Yu Wenlin away.

Yu Wenlin sat back on his chair and said, "If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave!"

"Are you here to cause trouble?" The man waved his hand, and soon, several men wearing the same clothes came and started a verbal battle with Yuwenlin! Jianyun stood behind Yuwenlin with his hands holding a knife and closed his eyes to rest.

After an incense stick of time, a woman walked into the Chamber of Commerce. It was the wife of the governor whom Shan Zimo met outside the door! As soon as she walked into the hall, the noisy people suddenly quieted down, straightened their clothes, and bowed. The woman glanced at Yu Wenlin, who was arguing with a red face, walked past him, and sat down on the highest armchair in the hall.

"Are you the tea merchant from the north?" The woman raised her drooping eyes slightly and looked at Yuwen Lin with contempt.

"That's right! This young master is here to give you some money! You don't know what's good for you. Not only did you deny me the right to open a tea shop, but you also asked for protection from a sect?" Yu Wenlin seemed to have caught something on him. "Do you know that in Wu Country, it is a serious crime for a sect to privately set up a territory and demarcate its sphere of influence?"

"Sir, please do not accuse me of any crime that is not yours," the woman said with a faint smile, and took the teacup from the maid. "You can open a tea shop, but there is a condition!"

"What conditions?"
