Transmigrating to the Song Dynasty: Water Margin Business Management

Wu Yong then looked at Song Jiang with a serious expression and slowly said to him, "Brother Gongming, it seems that Huang Wenyu is here for you."

Song Jiang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "That's right. We dealt with Huang Wenbing at the execution ground in Jiangzhou. Huang Wenyi is his brother, and he must have come here seeking revenge. I, Song Jiang, have always been an upright and honorable man, but I never expected to make such an enemy because of it."

Wu Yong gently shook his feather fan and analyzed, "Brother, Huang Wenyi's scheme to frame Physician An Daoquan must be because he knows that the Physician has a close relationship with us and wants to use this to attack us. We must be wary of his sinister intentions."

Song Jiang sighed and said, "Huang Wenbing and I originally had different stances. He committed many evils, and we eliminated him on behalf of Heaven. But I never expected that his brother would come to seek revenge, which has implicated An Daoquan and his brother."

Wu Song's eyes widened in anger, and he shouted, "Brother, don't sigh! Since Huang Wenyi dares to provoke us, we will make sure he doesn't leave alive!"

Lu Zhishen also brandished his monk's staff and shouted, "Exactly! I want to see just how capable this Huang Wenyi really is!"

Wu Yong waved his hand and said, "Brothers, don't be impulsive. The situation is still unclear, and we need to plan carefully. Huang Wenyi dares to openly oppose us, so there may be other forces backing him up."

Li Kui jumped out and shouted, "What do I care about their power? I'm not afraid of Tie Niu's axe!"

Song Jiang shouted, "Brother Li Kui, don't be rash! This matter still needs to be arranged by the scholar."

Wu Yong continued, "In my opinion, we should first send people to continue investigating Huang Wenyi's movements, to understand his specific plans and the forces he relies on. At the same time, we should also be prepared to prevent him from making another move."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Song Jiang stood up, looked around at everyone, and said, "Brothers, although this crisis is fierce, I believe that as long as we brothers are united, we will definitely be able to turn danger into safety and get justice for Brother An Daoquan!"

The crowd shouted in unison, "We are ready to obey our brother's orders!"

The atmosphere inside the restaurant was electric, with everyone determined to have a showdown with Huang Wenyi.

Song Jiang looked at Zhao Tianming with an apologetic expression, his eyes filled with guilt, and said, "Manager Zhao, this matter was caused by me, and it has caused you great trouble. I, Song Jiang, am truly ashamed."

Zhao Tianming quickly waved his hand and said seriously, "Brother Song, what are you saying? Back when I, Zhao Tianming, was in trouble, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be where I am today. Now that you are in trouble, how could I, Zhao Tianming, have a single complaint?"

Song Jiang sighed, "But this Huang Wenyi is treacherous and cunning. This time, in order to seek revenge, he will stop at nothing, which has implicated your restaurant and made you live in fear."

Zhao Tianming approached Song Jiang, placed his hands on his shoulders, and said, "Brother, why be so formal between us? What is my tavern? As long as it can help you get through this ordeal, it's all worth it. Besides, with us brothers working together, are we afraid we can't deal with Huang Wenyi?"

Song Jiang was deeply moved and grasped Zhao Tianming's hand, saying, "Manager Zhao, I will remember your kindness and repay you in the future."

Zhao Tianming laughed heartily: "Brother, let's not stand on ceremony. Let's quickly discuss how to deal with the current situation."

Song Jiang nodded heavily, a determined light rekindling in his eyes.

Everyone looked worried and said, "Now that Doctor An is locked up in prison, who knows how much suffering he will endure. We must get him out!"

Wu stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He said, "I have come up with a plan."

Everyone immediately focused their attention on Wu Yong, eager to hear his ideas.

Wu Yong slowly said, "Why don't we ask Master Chai for help? We can say that the household needs some accommodations. With Master Chai's prestige and wealth, he might be able to pull some strings for us and rescue An Daoquan."

Song Jiang nodded slightly and said, "This plan is feasible. Master Chai is always generous and charitable. If he knows about this, he might lend a helping hand."

Wu Song, however, was somewhat worried: "I just don't know if Master Chai is willing to get involved in such trouble."

Lu Junyi said, "Brother Wu Song, there's no need to worry. Master Chai is a man of great integrity and has a long-standing friendship with us. He should not refuse."

Lu Zhishen nodded and said, "I also think it's feasible. Even if Master Chai has some concerns, we can reason with him and appeal to his emotions. I'm sure he won't sit idly by."

Everyone discussed it and felt that the plan had a high chance of success.

Yan Qing said, "Then we should not delay. I am willing to go to Master Chai's residence with a few brothers to tell him about this matter."

Shi Qian also jumped in and said, "Count me in too. My movement technique might come in handy at a crucial moment."

Song Jiang said, "Alright, then Yan Qing, Shi Qian, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen, you should go to the Chai residence immediately and make sure to explain things clearly."

The four men accepted the order and set off immediately.

Along the way, Yan Qing secretly pondered how to ask Master Chai for help in a way that would make it easier for him to agree.

Shi Qian looked around cautiously, remaining vigilant.

Upon arriving at the Chai residence, after being announced by the servants, Master Chai himself came out to greet them.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Yan Qing explained his purpose.

After hearing this, Chai Jin frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Brothers, this matter is quite troublesome, but for the sake of your loyalty, I, Chai Jin, will do my best to help."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qing and the others were overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Afterwards, Chai Da Guanren began to make arrangements, and everyone's hearts were filled with hope, hoping to rescue An Daoquan as soon as possible.

Upon learning of the situation, Chai Jin went straight to Huang Wenyi's residence without hesitation.

After the servant announced the arrival, Huang Wenyi was taken aback upon hearing that the visitor was Chai Jin, and a look of suspicion instantly appeared on his face. He thought to himself, "This Chai Jin has always been very close to people in the martial arts world. Could it be that he has come here for the matter of An Daoquan?" But he was a man of many experiences and quickly regained his composure, putting on a fake smile as he went out to greet him.

"Master Chai, what brings you to my humble abode today?" Huang Wenyi said, bowing slightly, but his eyes darted back and forth over Chai Jin, trying to discern his purpose.

Chai Jin smiled slightly and said, "Lord Huang, it's been a long time since we last met, so I've come to pay you a visit."

Huang Wenyi stepped aside to invite Chai Jin into the house, exchanging polite words while secretly thinking, "This Chai Jin is of noble status and has a great reputation in the martial arts world. His visit must be extraordinary. I need to be careful and not fall into his trap."

The two took their seats as host and guest, and Huang Wenyi ordered tea to be served, seemingly warm and attentive, but in reality, he had ulterior motives.

"Master Chai, what brings you here today?" Huang Wenyi asked tentatively.

Chai Jin took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Lord Huang, you must have heard about some of the things that have happened in the city recently."

Huang Wenyi's heart tightened, but his face remained calm as he said, "Oh? I wonder what Master Chai is referring to?"

Chai Jin put down his teacup, looked directly at Huang Wenyi, and said, "Does Lord Huang not know about An Daoquan's wrongful imprisonment?"

Huang Wenyi's eyes flickered as he argued, "This matter was handled according to the law. An Daoquan is guilty, and I was simply enforcing the law impartially."

Chai Jin sneered: "Lord Huang, let's not beat around the bush. We both know the truth of this matter."

Huang Wenyi's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "What does Master Chai mean by this? I don't understand."

Chai Jin stood up and said, “Lord Huang, don’t think that no one knows what you’ve done. If you remain obstinate and continue to frame the innocent, the consequences will be more than you can bear.”

Huang Wenyi harbored resentment in his heart, but still pretended to be calm and said, "Master Chai, don't frighten me. I have done nothing wrong and have no fear of any threats."

Looking at Huang Wenyi's cunning face, Chai Jin had already made up his mind. He said, "Fine, we'll see." With that, he turned and left.

Huang Wenyi watched Chai Jin's departing figure, his face grim, and began to plot his next scheme.

Chai Jin returned to where everyone was, his face grave. He looked at Zhao Tianming, Song Jiang, and Wu Yong, took a deep breath, and slowly recounted what had happened at Huang Wenyi's residence.

"Gentlemen, I was truly rebuffed when I went to Huang Wenyi's residence this time." Chai Jin frowned, his eyes revealing his annoyance.

Zhao Tianming asked anxiously, "Master Chai, what exactly is going on?"

Chai Jin shook his head and said, "Huang Wenyi is impervious to both soft and hard approaches. I tried everything, from kind words to harsh ones. At first, I tried to persuade him, explaining that An Daoquan was wronged and there must have been a misunderstanding. I hoped he could re-examine the case and clear An Daoquan's name. But Huang Wenyi was completely unmoved and insisted that An Daoquan was guilty."

Song Jiang clenched his fists and said resentfully, "Is this Huang Wenyi really so stubborn?"

Chai Jin continued, "Seeing his attitude, I tried to reason with him and appeal to his emotions, telling him about the code of the martial world and advising him not to offend so many heroes for the sake of personal gain. But he not only remained unmoved, but also sneered and said that he only acted according to the law and was not bound by the rules of the martial world."

Wu Yong stroked his beard and pondered, "It seems that Huang Wenyi is determined to oppose us."

Chai Jin nodded, his expression serious: "Exactly. I tried everything, even hinting that if he could be lenient, I would be richly rewarded in the future. But he was unmoved at all, and his words became more and more forceful, as if he had made up his mind."

“Moreover,” Chai Jin paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, “judging from his expression and words, I’m certain that he has someone backing him up. Otherwise, with his audacity and power, he would never dare to be so arrogant.”

Song Jiang stood up and paced back and forth: "Who could be backing him up? Could it be Ximen Qing?"

Wu Yong shook his head: "It may not just be Ximen Qing; there might be an even more powerful force. This matter needs to be carefully considered and thoroughly investigated."

Everyone fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.
