Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

"As long as you work hard for me, I will not treat you unfairly."

Zhong Ran seemed to know what they were thinking. His cold voice sounded, as if coming from all directions, echoing in their minds.

"Grandma, please understand. We will definitely work hard in the future to ensure that this situation does not happen again."

He Chao came to his senses and quickly made guarantees, fearing that if he was slow, this... demon lady would devour their blood and kill them.

By the way, I heard that at the scene of the theft in the Marquis’ Mansion, a dried corpse that had been devoured of blood was found.

It must have been done by the demon grandma.

He swallowed hard. Since there was no way to retreat, he might as well charge forward with his eyes closed.

Since Grandma Demon dared to show her abilities in front of them, she was not afraid of their betrayal. Once they really dared to sell her out, they would probably not see tomorrow's sunrise.

This is the demon grandma, he dare not have any more luck.

However, since Grandma Demon took them in as slaves, it seems that she really needs people to work for her. As long as they work hard, she can give them some help in the future and they can all become successful.

Zhong Ran didn’t know that they had thought so much in their hearts, and she didn’t care what they thought.

She is now at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and has Zhong Yan as her trump card. I think she has the ability to protect herself even when facing the royal family.

At worst, she could take Zhong Yan away from the capital and wander around looking for resources for cultivation.

The eldest senior brother has been in seclusion recently to strive for the fourth level of Qi Refining. She has not discussed with him what kind of feelings he has towards the royal family.

His identity is different from hers, and her body has been treated unfairly since childhood.

But he was not like that. He was a bit like her in her previous life, spoiled since childhood, with his mother and the power of his mother's family behind him.

He is not like her, who can leave whenever he wants.

He Chao asked someone to push two carts over, tied all ten bags of medicinal materials on them, and went out carefully.

"With us here with you, the government officials probably won't think anything of it even if they see you."

Zhong Ran said calmly, "Hurry up and settle the score with those people. It won't be a good thing if my brother gets hungry. That will cause a lot of people to suffer."

Her words frightened He Chao and the others so much that they glanced at Zhong Yan's back and kept their distance from him.

A gentle smile appeared on Zhong Yan's face. In fact, he always had pills on him, so he would not do anything impulsive even if he was hungry.

However, since his sister said that, he accepted it.

These people are not careful in their work. They made such a big mistake the first time they did something for their sister. If it were him, he would have to punish them severely.

My sister is just too kind-hearted.

……

In a large house with five courtyards, a group of people were sitting around a table filled with various delicious dishes.

"Come, let's have a drink. Luckily I met those pig-like men, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sell all the medicinal herbs piled up in my warehouse."

"Haha, that's right. Do you really think they're so great just because they used to be Mr. Chen Wu's men?"

"I guess they think we don't know that Master Chen Wu has been crippled and thrown into prison. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out."

"Brother Li, what if they find out and come looking for us?"

"What? You'll admit it?"

"Of course not."

Everyone laughed again, picked up the wine on the table, and said with a smile: "Cheers to our big profit this time. I hope there will be more fools like him in the future, and then we will be rich."

There were five people in their group, all of them were medicinal herb merchants.

When He Chao contacted the medicinal material suppliers, because he wanted a large quantity, he joined forces with five other suppliers to get the required amount.

In order to get everyone involved, everyone sold a few bags of old medicinal herbs to He Chao.

The other four also raised their glasses, with bright smiles on their faces.

He Chao and others did not understand the reason behind this. Even if those medicinal herbs were not old, they had replaced many of them with some seemingly inferior herbs.

It can be said that a huge sum of money was made from He Chao this time.

There was a knock on the door outside, and the five of them stopped and turned to look.

A servant went to open the door, and soon a group of people came in.

Aren’t some of the familiar ones the ones they just laughed at, He Chao and others?

An old man chuckled and said, "Hey, Brother He, are you going to buy herbs again? What kind do you want this time, and how much do you want? We're all acquaintances now, so I'll definitely give you a discount."

He Chao quickly stepped forward and slapped him in the face.

However, there were two guards standing next to the old man, and one of them grabbed his wrist casually.

"He Chao, what are you doing?" The old man pretended to be angry: "We have cooperated once. It is not a good habit for you to come to my house and beat me up without saying a word."

He Chao yelled angrily, "What are you doing? You're so bold! You actually dared to pass off inferior goods as good ones to me. Do you think we're easy to bully?"

The demon grandma is watching right next to him. If he doesn't behave himself, he will have nowhere to stay in the future.

Another middle-aged man in a blue robe sneered, "Brother He, you're wrong. At that time, the money was exchanged and the goods were delivered. Your people have inspected the goods."

"Even if something really happened, it's your own problem. What does it have to do with us?"

"He Chao, we are all honest businessmen. Don't think that you can bully us just because you brought a few people here."

"You're bullying us because we don't have any connections? We've been in this business for so long, if we didn't have some connections, we would have been swallowed up long ago."

"He Chao, if you know what's good for you, get out of here. We can still work together next time. Otherwise, if you make us angry, you won't be able to buy a single herb again."

The five herbal medicine merchants became more and more excited as they spoke, as if they were really the ones who were wronged.

At the same time, there were about ten people standing behind them, and behind He Chao and others, there were also twenty or thirty people who quickly surrounded them.

They don't take He Chao seriously at all. What if he finds a problem and comes to them?

They are not pushovers either, and each of them has a lot of thugs around him.

As they themselves said, if they didn't have some strength, they would have been eaten to the bone, so how could they dare to do business in the capital?

However, they had all worked with Chen Wuye before, so He Chao approached them.

However, He Chao never dreamed that he would be tricked by them.

"You...you guys..." He Chao didn't expect these people to be so shameless and confuse right and wrong in front of them.

He quietly turned around and looked at Zhong Ran, but he couldn't see her expression.

Her eyes have always been as calm as a still pond, as if nothing could catch her eye or stir up any emotional fluctuations in her.

Zhong Ran said calmly, "I'll give you one chance. Return the herbs to me and pay me double the compensation. Otherwise, you will regret it."

Because of her words, everyone's eyes were on her.

They saw it when she came in with He Chao and others, but no one took her seriously.

They didn't even care about a ruthless person like He Chao, let alone a little girl with a veil on her face?
