After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 51: Treat others the way they have treated you (2)

As soon as Yu Qingli entered the mansion, Yu Zhengsha got the news, but he was very surprised to hear that she went straight back to her room to sleep. Should he say that she is determined or heartless?

Seeing that all Li's efforts were in vain, she actually fell asleep with her head covered, but this was good news for her.

Yu Zhengsha sat in the study, playing with two glass balls in his hands. This was a habit he had developed over the years. When he was thinking about a problem, he always liked to listen to the sound of the glass balls turning in his hands. Apart from this, any other sound would make him feel irritated.

The crisp sound of the glass balls colliding was extremely clear in the study.

Jiang Bai stood respectfully opposite the desk, his eyes watching his nose and his nose watching his heart, even trying to control the sound of his breathing to the lowest level. Before Yu Zhengsha spoke, his task was to wait.

Finally, the sound of the glass ball stopped, and Jiang Bai looked up at the same time, waiting for instructions.

"You said someone took Yu Qingli to that shop?"

"Yes, that's what the driver reported back. He said a man came on horseback and took the young lady directly onto his back. From his observation, the horse was definitely not an ordinary horse, but rather a thousand-mile horse."

With a clang, the glass ball in Yu Zhengsha's hand fell to the ground, almost smashing a hole in the floor. His eyes were cold, "Are you sure it's Qianliju?"

Jiang Bai said respectfully, "The driver has been driving a carriage for more than ten years and is familiar with all kinds of horses. I'm sure he won't make any mistakes."

"Murong Yan, come back!"

Yu Zhengsha gritted his teeth and said a name. He didn't expect that he really raised such a good daughter. Murong Feng was one of them, but he actually hooked up with Murong Yanhui as well?

"Master, could there be a mistake? How can we be sure that the person who helped the young lady is the Prince of Yan just based on the driver's words?"

"No, it's not just because of this. Do you know that in the Jiangnan region, the only one who can possess such a Thousand Miles Horse is probably the King of Yan? Besides this person, I really can't think of anyone else who would dare to touch my daughter?"

Jiang Bai frowned, "From what the master said, Prince Yan will intervene in the affairs of this shop?"

Yu Zhengsha stood up from his chair. It was still unknown whether Murong Yanhui would intervene. It was also possible that Murong Yanhui, who always loved beautiful women, agreed to give Yu Qingli a ride at her request. If it was really that simple, then things would be easy to handle. Otherwise, they would be in big trouble.

"Jiang Bai, go notify those shops immediately and tell them to be careful, especially these past two days. I have a vague feeling that Yu Qingli won't give in so easily."

"Yes! I will do it right away."

Yu Zhengsha never imagined that when he sent Jiang Bai out, the shops he owned were suffering from an unprecedented robbery!

The first to suffer was the newly opened Qianlu Pavilion diagonally across from Nishangfang, the same shop that had cheated the shopkeeper Li out of all his high-quality fabrics.

The sky was just beginning to turn white, and the night watchman had just left. People began to appear in twos and threes on the somewhat deserted street, all of them were people who got up early to do business.

The shopkeeper Bai of Qianlu Pavilion also ordered his men to prepare to open the shop for business. Ever since they had swindled a large quantity of high-quality fabrics from Nishangfang ten days ago, the business of Qianlu Pavilion has been booming. Thinking that he would get the commission soon, the shopkeeper Bai could not help but show a look of joy on his face.

On this relatively quiet morning, a group of people and horses suddenly appeared on the street. The sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the street, and the people setting up stalls on both sides hurriedly moved away.

The men on horseback were all tall and mighty, with devil masks on their faces. The one in the lead was riding a tall black horse. Unlike the others, his mask looked like the King of Hell with a green face and fangs, which made people feel afraid.

These ghost cavalrymen appeared out of nowhere and rushed straight towards Qianlu Pavilion.

"Who, who are these people?" The people on both sides asked curiously.

Someone nearby quickly took over and said, "Why do you care who he is? He looks ferocious, maybe he's a robber?"

"Why don't you report it to the police right away?"

"Why report to the authorities? The soldiers are here, and they're even more ruthless than these bandits! Fortunately, they're not coming for us. It looks like that new shop is in trouble."

The chatter grew louder as the clatter of horses' hooves faded, but no one dared to interfere. Most of the people on this street were familiar neighbors, except for the newly opened Qianlu Pavilion, whose origins were unknown. Perhaps they had offended someone they shouldn't have? Otherwise, why would they be heading straight for them?

poor person must have something mean!

The people knew this very well, so most of them just watched. A few days ago, it seemed that Qianlu Pavilion had just had a big quarrel with Nishangfang across the street. It was said that they had cheated Nishangfang of its materials. Even the government officials came at that time, but they helped the people from Qianlu Pavilion. It seemed that they should have some relationship with the government.

The people coming now don’t look like government officials, but more like outlaws. Could they be hired by Nishangfang?

Various speculations spread among the people, increasing their curiosity. They stretched their necks and looked towards the door of Qianlu Pavilion, waiting for the outcome of the matter.

The shop assistant, who had just opened the shop door and saw a group of evil spirits, was so scared that he trembled as he walked, and shouted to the inner room in a trembling voice: "Boss... Boss, come here quickly, come here quickly!"

The shopkeeper Bai was counting the silver he had earned in the past ten days and daydreaming at the same time.

Before becoming the shopkeeper of Qianlu Pavilion, he was also a businessman, but he lost all his money due to poor management. When he was desperate, he met a noble man who asked him to help him deal with a shop. After the deal was done, he would split the shop and the business income with him in 50-50.

This pie-in-the-sky good thing made Shopkeeper Bai very happy. In addition, the other party also gave him a deposit, so this was a business that could only make money and not lose money.

As the saying goes, fortune and honor are sought in danger. Shopkeeper Bai made up his mind and cheated Nishangfang out of everything, regardless of whether it was against his conscience or morality.

After two days of worry, the money that rolled in every day made him begin to forget that the fabrics in his shop were all obtained by cheating without spending a penny.

Who cares? Just make money!

Hearing the shop assistant's shout, the shopkeeper Bai quickly got up and came out, but was frightened to death when he saw the large group of robbers in front of him.

"Are you the owner of this store?"

The leading "King of Hell" spoke in a very gentle tone, without a trace of cruelty in his voice. This made Shopkeeper Bai a little confused. Could these people have simply come to buy materials?

What's wrong with a robber? Don't they also need clothes to wear and food to eat?

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Bai calmed down and said, "My dear friends, may I ask what can I do for you? Our shop has just opened a short time ago, so I don't think I have offended you in any way."

"Where does all this nonsense come from?! I'm asking if you're the boss?!"

A man wearing a "Black Impermanence" mask on the right side of "King of Hell" drew his sword and put it on Shopkeeper Bai's neck.

Shopkeeper Bai was so frightened that his legs were shaking and his teeth were chattering. "Yes... yes... yes..."

The "White Impermanence" on the left, dressed in a white brocade robe, elegantly used his folding fan to block the gleaming steel knife. "Old Black, we are all gentlemen, so don't be violent! Besides, this shopkeeper seems very willing to cooperate, right?"

Shopkeeper Bai nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement with the words of "Bai Wuchang".

"Black Impermanence" snorted coldly, "You're smart! Then don't waste time and move all the valuable materials in the shop onto our carriage, and also bring all the profits you've made these days. Don't try to deceive me. Since I'm here, I must have already investigated everything."

Shopkeeper Bai had a mournful look on his face, but he was hesitant. He couldn't just give them so much money, could he? Although only half of it was his, if it was all taken away by these unidentified people, he wouldn't get a penny.

He caught a glimpse of the shop assistant hiding behind the door out of the corner of his eye, and when no one was paying attention, Shopkeeper Bai winked at the assistant.

The guy got the signal and wailed in his heart, "Boss, please spare me. I really want money over my life. Who dares to go out at this time?"

While he was hesitating, he saw that the shopkeeper Bai winked at him again. The clerk gritted his teeth and thought, forget it, just go for it. He would sneak out and report to the police.

He had just moved secretly from behind the door when a flying knife shot straight past, piercing through the guy's bun and nailing him to the door. The guy opened his eyes wide in horror, his legs had collapsed to the ground, a fishy smell gradually spread, and the guy's crotch gradually became stained with water. He was scared to pee!

"Want to inform the government?!" The leading "King of Hell" didn't even look at the guy, but walked straight towards Shopkeeper Bai, approached him, and spoke in a cold voice, as if it really came from the depths of hell. Shopkeeper Bai was so scared that he lost feeling in his legs.

"No, dare not!"

"I don't think you dare!" The voice of "Black Impermanence" beside him was cold, "Otherwise, I will kill you!"

Shopkeeper Bai fell to the ground with a thud, his face pale. Who on earth had he offended?

Before Shopkeeper Bai could figure out what was going on, those little knights had already started moving the silks in the shop onto the carriage they brought. Because there were so many of them, in just a few moments, not even a single piece of silk disappeared from the Qianlu Pavilion, let alone the finances in the backyard.

Only after everything was emptied did the leading man shout at Shopkeeper Bai, "Easy to gain, easy to lose. Today, I'm teaching you a lesson! Go back and tell your master that if there's a next time, it won't be these goods they steal!"

After a scolding, those people left, leaving behind the dumbfounded Shopkeeper Bai and the shop assistants who were already too frightened to move.
