Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Haicheng, inside the city.

After Li Junsu led his horse into the city, he raised an eyebrow. There was nothing wrong inside the city, but it was too lively.

Yes, it was bustling, with caravans of all sizes lining the streets, attracting much attention.

Li Junsu led the horse toward the Six Doors, it seemed Feng Fan was beginning to show his talent.

.......

Six doors, a large hall.

"Boss! You're back!" Su An's joyful voice rang out from afar as he rushed back from outside.

"Hmm, how have you been lately?" Li Junsu asked, leaning back in his chair.

Finally, I can sit in a chair that people can sit on.

“I’ve made those merchants hand over their account books every month. There are a lot more small caravans from other places in the city now, as well as some small fry,” Su An said, counting on his fingers.

"Small fish and shrimp?" Li Junsu opened his eyes and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, those martial arts practitioners who died at my hands," Su An explained, scratching his head.

Li Junsu nodded. To die at Su An's hands, they were indeed small fry.

"Also, the arrangements at the He family's place are complete," Su An continued.

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Li Junsu's eyes. The He family's arrangement was to let Shi Sheng know that the Six Doors were abusing their power to bully the Gu Clan. There were also some other small details that He Chang personally embellished.

When a task is entrusted to He Chang, there are only two possible outcomes: either it is being done or it has already been completed.

He may be timid, but he's not incompetent.

"I'll go back and wash up. Have Feng Fan and Song Yang come over," Li Junsu said as he stood up and walked out the door.

"Yes." Su An immediately stood up.

......

"Phew, this is the life a human being should live." Li Junsu changed into his brand-new uniform and walked out of the inn.

During those days in the Ten Thousand Mountains, I was like a wild man.

......

Six doors, a large hall.

When Li Junsu stepped into the hall, he saw Feng Fan and Song Yang waiting patiently.

The two men stood up the moment they saw Li Junsu and respectfully bowed.

Li Junsu was satisfied; he hadn't gotten arrogant after making just a couple of coins, so they could continue their business dealings.

Thinking it over, Li Junsu slowly walked to the head seat and sat down.

"Master Feng and Patriarch Song, your business is booming." Li Junsu sat down, placed his hand on the ledger, and spoke softly.

"Lord Li, with your leadership, our business will surely flourish," Feng Fan said, bowing his head.

"Yes, without Lord Li showing us the way forward, we wouldn't have this opportunity to rise to prominence today," Song Yang said, bowing his head in agreement.

Li Junsu was surprised. Were these two really that honest?

In reality, after Li Junsu left Juyilou, in the minds of these merchants, the entire Lingdong region consisted of only two major entities: Liushanmen and Juyilou.

In Li Junsu's own opinion, he was 99% certain that Fang Dayi and Shi Sheng would not interfere when he went to Juyilou.

The remaining one percent are those who suddenly suffer a neurological breakdown and feel compelled to take action.

Nothing in this world is 100% certain.

.......

"Will it work?" Li Su asked hesitantly, looking at the fused sword and blade embryos.

"100% success rate," Yun Wujing said confidently.

.......

Moreover, Li Junsu had prepared to retreat, but the merchants did not see it that way. In their eyes, Li Junsu had entered Juyi Tower alone with Su An and then escaped unscathed.

This already speaks volumes. In addition, after Li Junsu's sudden departure, Su An, who remained behind, wiped out another small family.

The incident stemmed from the head of this small family complaining that the share of profits was insufficient. That very night, all 43 members of the family were wiped out.

In everyone's minds, Su An was once again labeled as a madman. In their eyes, Su An was not only Li Junsu's loyal dog, but also a mad dog.

The once somewhat arrogant young masters immediately became obedient, their legs trembling at the sight of Su An and the others.

I have a deep understanding of the name "Six Doors" (六扇门). Now, when I see constables in their uniforms, they all behave like obedient grandsons.

Feng Fan and Song Yang, who already had a clear understanding of the situation, further strengthened their respect for the Six Doors.

Even if you provoke Juyilou, don't offend the Six Doors.

This is the new rule in Lingdong. If you provoke Feng Fan and Song Yang of Juyilou, they can still step in. But if you offend the Six Doors, then be prepared to be abandoned.

Feng Fan eliminated a large number of partnerships with major merchant guilds and started paving the way with honest small merchant caravans.

He knew that Juyilou was still standing, and if other powerful forces joined at this time, it would cause trouble for Li Junsu.

Once Juyilou disappears, Li Junsu will start expanding his business without him even saying it.

Now, Yingbinlou only needs to cling to Li Junsu and the dynasty behind him to achieve instant success.

Treasure Pavilion? Just a pile of bones in a tomb.

Having been involved in the underworld for so long, Treasure Pavilion has forgotten who the real big spenders who control the entire market are.

Feng Fan also came to his senses from the cooperation with the Six Doors. The Dynasty controlled ten provinces and hundreds of cities of all sizes. Even if it gave him a little bit of the market, he would earn much more than the Jianghu forces that claimed to be fully responsible for him.

By clinging to powerful figures, Yingbinlou will become the true... Yingbinlou from now on.

Song Yang's situation was much simpler; he simply built an additional treasury, which was what the Six Doors brought him after they arrived.

It feels so simple, yet so delightful.

Therefore, thanks to the combined efforts of Feng Fan and Song Yang, the people of Haicheng still maintained their reverence for the Six Doors and ensured the stability of the market within Haicheng.

“Very good. With such high regard from Lord Feng and Patriarch Song, I, Li, will certainly not treat them unfairly,” Li Junsu assured.

Feng Fan and Song Yang are determined to stick with the Six Doors to the very end, and Li Junsu knows what they want.

Feng Fan and Song Yang indeed smiled.

"I'm busy with work, but I'll definitely host a banquet for you two another day." Li Junsu handed the account book to Su An, who then returned it to Song Yang and Feng Fan.

"Of course, Lord Li must come to my residence for a chat when you have some free time," Song Yang said with a smile.

"Definitely." Li Junsu nodded in agreement.

......

The Shi residence, study.

"Li Junsu is back?" Shi Sheng looked up from the intelligence report and asked.

The intelligence from Lingnan was a mix of truth and falsehood, but the only thing Shi Sheng was certain of was that there were indeed constables stationed at the entrance to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Moreover, it will maintain a certain frequency of rotation.

This is also where He Chang, the treacherous villain, is located. The constables at the gate are unlucky errand boys responsible for transporting Gu worms, since martial artists are more useful.

Moreover, Shi Sheng discovered that these constables were also responsible for transporting Gu worms. In Shi Sheng's view, these constables were forcing the Gu clan to produce Gu worms in large quantities.

Why is it coercion? Because this is the truth that Shi Sheng discovered himself by "peeling back the layers." You've covered it up like this, so are you suggesting that you're cooperating amicably with the Gu Clan and getting them to willingly hand over their goods?

how is this possible.

With his understanding of Shi Sheng, He Chang could easily manipulate him.

Fang Dayi is now itching to get a piece of the business in Haicheng. He was supposed to have a share, but now everyone else is making money while he isn't.

Shi Sheng's vigilance towards Li Junsu reached its peak.

Looking at Li Junsu's sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he thought, "How could someone with such a dark heart come to Juyi Tower?"
