Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

The group entered the capital city after dark. As soon as the carriage entered the city, they saw three or five guards sitting in a teahouse opposite the city gate, their eyes fixed on the city gate.

Upon noticing the lack of familiar markings on their carriages, their eyes lit up. The men exchanged glances, their smiles barely concealed, and brazenly blocked the road.

"Stop! Stop the carriage! Routine check! Everyone get out!" The lead guard said, reaching for the carriage curtain. Just as his hand was about to touch the curtain...

Gu Yu flung open the curtain from inside, glanced at them haughtily, and scolded, "How dare you! Our master is the young master of Hengyang Trading Company. Who do you think you are? A routine inspection? What are you inspecting? Show us the inspection warrant. You're all acting suspiciously; you're not good people at all."

The lead guard felt that Hengyang Trading Company was familiar, but before he could think about it, he heard an annoying voice behind him, "What young master? Never heard of him. Get out of the car right now, or I'll send you all to the prison and make you regret it."

They've gotten used to swaggering around since following Princess Rongchang, deciding everything else's life and death. When did an outsider get the right to scold them?

As he spoke, he prepared to pull Gu Yu away, but Gu Yu kicked him several meters away.

Seeing this, the other guards drew their broadswords and rushed towards Gu Yu.

Bai Lu then jumped off the carriage, and the two of them quickly knocked the guard to the ground, where he couldn't get up for a long time.

At this moment, the lead guard finally remembered the name of Hengyang Trading Company and hurriedly apologized, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. They are all newcomers and do not know the young master's name. They have disturbed the young master. Please forgive them."

The lead guard spoke for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him. He immediately scolded the men on the ground, "Get up and apologize to the young master."

"Boss, we must capture them and make them wish they were dead. Besides, there are two stunning beauties, a man and a woman, in the carriage. The master will definitely like them, hehe." One of the guards was so focused on the people in the carriage that he didn't hear his boss's apology or see him making any attempt to apologize.

His lewd appearance, coupled with his irritating tone, earned him another beating.

The lead guard was terrified upon hearing this. He glanced furtively at the carriage, then leaped up and kicked the guard in the back, knocking him to the ground. He followed up with several more kicks, leaving the guard unable to move.

"Go to hell! Didn't you understand what I was saying? I told you to apologize, don't you understand? Hengyang Trading Company, what kind of place is that? It's not something you or I can afford to mess with. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you."

Hengyang Trading Company emerged out of nowhere more than a decade ago. In just a few years, it almost controlled the lifeline of the Three Kingdoms, and no one knew who its owner was.

Anyone who tries to harm Hengyang Trading Company will not have a good ending.

I heard that a few years ago, a man from the martial arts world bought a weapon at the Hengyang Auction House in Xiling Kingdom. When he couldn't pay, he tried to take it by force, but the masters of Hengyang Trading Company severed his tendons and left him crippled.

There was also the case of an official's wife who coveted the business of Hengyang Trading Company's restaurant and wanted to take it over for herself. Every day, she would hire people to cause trouble and create disturbances at the shop.

As a result, the restaurant owner had no choice but to close down.

But the very next day after the restaurant closed, evidence of the official's corruption and bribery from several years ago was presented directly to the emperor.

The palace was filled with guards, and there were even secret guards outside the Imperial Study, but no one knew how these things were placed in the Imperial Study.

After several such incidents, the emperors of the three kingdoms became wary and launched several attacks on Hengyang Trading Company, but all their efforts were in vain.

In the end, they discovered that Hengyang Trading Company wouldn't provoke anyone, so all they had to do was be on good terms with them.

Therefore, the emperors of the Three Kingdoms treated Hengyang Trading Company with great respect, sending invitations every year to its owners to attend palace banquets, but each time they would arrive with courtesy only to find that the owners did not recognize them.

Even so, they still extend invitations every year without fail, for fear of inadvertently offending Hengyang Trading Company at some point.

To this day, the appearance of the owner of Hengyang Trading Company remains a mystery; no one knows whether he is male or female, let alone what country he is from.

Some say he is a hermit, others say he is a member of the martial arts world, and still others say he is a former official of the Southern Sang Kingdom. In short, there are all sorts of opinions.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance that someone in the carriage might be involved, he, a mere guard, couldn't afford to offend them.

The lead guard, exhausted from fighting, stopped and approached Gu Yu and Bai Lu, hesitant and unsure how to begin.

Gu Yu understood what he meant, handed over her identity document, and said irritably, "Here, take a good look, lest you think I'm fooling you."

"No, no, I wouldn't dare." The lead guard, sweating profusely, accepted the document with trembling hands and feet.

Bai Lu asked, "Have you made up your mind? Should we go to the yamen together to confirm?"

The lead guard quickly presented the document to Bai Lu with both hands, his face beaming with a fawning smile. "Alright, alright. You're too kind, young lady. I've never seen this before, so I took a second look. Please forgive me."

Bai Lu took the document and asked, "Can we leave now?"

The lead guard said, "Of course, please, please."

The other people in the carriage never showed themselves.

The people who witnessed the whole thing at the city gate were also shocked and incredulous. Someone had actually dealt with this group of thugs and managed to escape unscathed.

What exactly are their identities?

What can make a slut afraid?

A guard asked, puzzled, "Boss, Zhang Si wasn't wrong. Why did you hit him? Not only the people in the first carriage, but all the people in the other carriages were handsome, the kind that the master likes."

The lead guard slapped him, glanced around warily, and lowered his voice, "Shut up! Hengyang Trading Company is someone we can't afford to offend. Don't cause trouble for our master. Have you forgotten about Minister Liu?"

The guards instantly realized that although they hadn't been at the princess's residence for long, they still knew about Minister Liu's affairs.

The lead guard warned, "Keep your eyes open these next few days. Don't get distracted by pretty girls. If you mess with the wrong people, no one can protect you."

"Yes."

"Boss, we understand."

The guards answered in unison that even if they had a hundred lives, they wouldn't dare to mess with the people from Hengyang Trading Company.

The events at the city gate quickly spread among the high-ranking officials and nobles of Kyoto. The young master of Hengyang Trading Company had arrived in Kyoto and was staying at the Tianxia Diyi Lou Inn on Zhongde Road.

In just one night, the No. 1 Restaurant under Heaven received hundreds of invitations, all inviting Chu Qing to attend various banquets.
