If only one or two shops have problems, it may be an accident.

However, in just a few days, more than 20 stores had various situations, such as fires, fights, or customers claiming to have bought fake products, and so on.

And without exception, these more than 20 shops are all shops opened by merchants from Mudstone City in Winter Cloud City.

Even a fool would understand that this obviously couldn't be an accident, but a deliberate action against the merchants in Mudstone City.

The situation was quickly reported to the senior management of Mudstone City, and finally sent to Song Ping's desk. Song Ping was furious and ordered the City Lord's Mansion to start a thorough investigation immediately.

Mudstone City Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

Minister of Economy and President of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Xinghe personally presided over the meeting.

"Master Li, the two new stores of our Huimin Store Grain Store in Dongyun City, one was reported to contain poison in the food, and the other had just opened for less than half a day, and the store actually collapsed. And we specially invited The professionals in the timber shop saw that it was not because the building was old and collapsed, but because someone deliberately tampered with the pillars.” Abby, the owner of Huimin’s shop, was full of anger.

"My new tailor shop in Wintercloud City also caught fire, because someone accidentally knocked over a can of kerosene. In our tailor shop, flammable materials are always stored separately from the fabric, and it is absolutely impossible for this to happen. Condition."

"Our Anmin Furniture Store was actually claimed to use low-quality wood. My lord, I can swear to Goddess that all the wood in our Anmin Furniture Store is purchased from the Mushicheng Timber Factory. The quality is all high-quality, absolutely impossible. Bad reputation for using poor quality wood."

"A new tavern I opened in Wintercloud City caught fire twice in a row. It's clear that someone deliberately set the fire..."...

The businessmen present all talked about the aggrievedness they had encountered, and each of them looked excited.

When everyone calmed down a bit, Li Xinghe said: "Don't worry, everyone, since you have joined the business association, as the president of the business association, I will never allow this bad situation to continue. I can tell everyone here Guaranteed, we will thoroughly investigate this incident and recover the losses for everyone.”

Abby was filled with righteous indignation: "The loss has already been caused. We don't expect to recover the loss. We only hope that the City Lord's Mansion can give us justice and severely punish the murderer behind the scenes. Otherwise, none of us would dare to continue doing business in Winter Cloud City." .”

Li Xinghe nodded and said: "Don't worry, the city lord has ordered an additional [-] troops to be stationed in Winter Cloud City to protect everyone's shops in Winter Cloud City, and will do their best to track down the mastermind behind this operation."

"No matter who the chief envoy is, no matter if it is a noble or a commoner, as long as they are found out, they will be severely punished!"

"Thank you, sir." All the merchants thanked one after another.

They didn't expect the City Lord's Mansion to attach so much importance to them merchants that they sent troops directly to protect their shops, which was really beyond their surprise.

Li Xinghe continued: "You are all members of the Chamber of Commerce, so please remember that no matter what happens, no matter where you are, whether it is Mudstone City, Winter Cloud City, or even other countries, there will always be the City Lord's Mansion for you Justice."

"Behind you are our invincible army and tens of thousands of people supporting you. You are not fighting alone."

"So you just go about your business with peace of mind, and the City Lord's Mansion will escort you."

"Of course, I would like to remind everyone here very seriously, but all members who join the Chamber of Commerce must conduct business in an aboveboard manner, and any behavior that violates the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce will be investigated to the end!"

"Please rest assured, my lord, we will definitely abide by the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce and conduct business in an upright manner." All the merchants said one after another.

Li Xinghe's words warmed their hearts, and many of them were even moved to tears.

If it was the former Mudstone City, the high-ranking figures in the City Lord's Mansion would not care about the lives of businessmen like them, let alone uphold justice for them, unless they could get enough benefits from them.

At this moment, they are extremely grateful that they have joined the big family of the business association.

……

The response from the top management of Mudstone City was strong and swift.

The First Army entered Winter Cloud City, and all the shops opened by the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce were guarded by soldiers of the First Army day and night.

And a big search was launched throughout the city.

The strong reaction from the top management of Mudstone City greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Headquarters of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Corps, underground conference room.

The top management of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Corps is holding an emergency meeting, and everyone is frowning.

"Damn Mudstone City, it's just some businessmen, and they are so aggressive."

"Hey, if I knew our Fire Wolf Mercenary Group wouldn't be in this muddy water."

"What's the use of talking about it now? The money has been collected, and everything has been done. Let's find a way to solve it now."

"They have already caught quite a few people, and I'm afraid they will track down our fire wolf mercenary group soon."...

Everyone was discussing, and the atmosphere in the conference room was very dignified.

Originally, in their expectation, these merchants in Mudstone City either withdrew from the Winter Cloud City market because they couldn't bear the pressure, or they were unwilling to join forces to resist.

This confrontation will be between the merchants of Mudstone and Wintercloud.

After all, there have been many cases like this in the past. As long as the battles between merchants are not blatantly violating the law and giving some benefits to those nobles, the City Lord's Mansion basically turns a blind eye.

But they never expected that the City Lord's Mansion of Mudstone City would go to war because of this, and even the army would be mobilized.

This has never been precedent before.

This caught them off guard.

Although the means they use are to create some "unexpected situations", but it is inevitable that they will leave some clues. As long as they are carefully investigated, sooner or later they will follow the clues and trace them to their fire wolf mercenary group.

The deputy head of the mercenary regiment gritted his teeth and said: "According to the current situation, it seems that we can only hide outside the city for a while, then give some benefits to those high-level troops, and launch a few scapegoats. Return to Wintercloud City."

The fire wolf mercenary group has been operating the foundation in Winter Cloud City for many years, if it is not a last resort, they are really reluctant to give up easily.

Bude, the head of the group, nodded and said: "Okay, let's do this. After dark today, we will leave the city. The leader of the Poisonous Bee Thieves has been friends with me for many years. After leaving the city, we will first go to the Poisonous Bee Mountain to hide. "
