After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1348: Brutal Opponent

"Yes." Jiang Lishui was also very respectful to him. "We entered the country to conduct business legally in accordance with the agreement with Yao Country, but we didn't expect such an accident to happen. All the people in charge of the Xiancheng branch died in the fire. There were people on duty at the branch that night. They said they woke up in the middle of the night and realized something was wrong, but found that the doors and windows were blocked from the outside. Fortunately, one of the windows was not blocked tightly, and they finally dug it open, so they escaped from the fire."

He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, anger rising from the bottom of his heart.

How deep is the hatred and resentment that you need to burn down his branch and harm his subordinates?
However, Yangshan Chamber of Commerce has just arrived and has just established itself in Yao Country. Who could it offend?

Dong Rui also said angrily: "Can such a small business matter cause a death?"

"The official coroner will do an autopsy and say he was burned to death. But we don't believe it. We want to find someone to do the autopsy ourselves."

A big fire can burn a lot of evidence.

Even He Lingchuan did not expect that the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce would lose so many lives in the richest Yao Kingdom rather than in the Shanjin Plain.

"Have these two branches ever received any big, eye-catching business?"

"The Xialin branch has only been established for less than ten days, and the staff is not yet complete. It has only taken on two businesses, and the scale is small." Jiang Lishui said, "The Xiancheng branch is our first and largest branch in Yao Country. Including the guards, there are more than 160 people, and it is doing a great job. If it comes to business that offends people, I'm afraid only the Xiancheng branch can take it."

Finding this out will take time.

He paused and continued, "The Xiancheng government came to investigate and believed that the fire was a pure accident. It was caused by our careless use of fire and igniting fuel."

Dong Rui was dissatisfied: "Are you trying to fool fools? They can come up with such an appraisal. Aren't they ashamed?"

Why did the person in charge die? The Xiancheng government didn't care, insisting that it was the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce's careless use of fire, and they wanted to hold the Chamber of Commerce responsible.

The fire was so big that seven or eight surrounding shops were also affected and burned to the ground.

"It burned cleanly in a short period of time. It's not an ordinary fire." Dong Rui sneered, "The two accidents happened one after the other, very close to each other. Ha, these are two ultimatums. Someone in Yao country is targeting us."

"Let's check it out." He Lingchuan pressed his knuckles. "Even you can see that the arsonist's intention has been achieved. So this matter must not be difficult to investigate. The other party will let us know who they are."

Otherwise, this seductive look would be shown to a blind person.

Dong Rui snorted: "You are so brave! We are foreign merchants who have been granted access by King Yao! How dare someone dare to make trouble for us?"

"A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake." He Lingchuan's face was as gloomy as water. "Even if we do business with the official Yao Kingdom, so what? King Yao can't solve problems for Yang Shan all day long."

Besides, he had seen how complicated the royal court was.

"Let's start with the big business that Xiancheng Branch has recently facilitated." He Lingchuan said slowly, "Maybe the root of the trouble lies there."

All along, the development of Yangshan Chamber of Commerce in the Golden Plains was too smooth to be true. He also knew that such a smooth and smooth life would eventually come to an end.

But, this day came a little too fast.

"Yaoguo, um..." He touched his chin.

After Jiang Lishui left, Dong Rui asked, "Hey, do you think it was the old witch who ordered her men to do this? She was sent to be the regent of Yao State, and it seems that she brought many experts with her."

"Her faction has deep roots. Imperial Master Frost Leaf has tried to uproot them for almost three years but has yet to do so. Besides, she is supervising in a foreign country, which is a difficult job. The Demon Emperor must have assigned her enough people." He Lingchuan was also thinking, were these two incidents instigated by Imperial Master Qingyang?

"It doesn't make sense." He murmured, "Qingyang and I don't have any fundamental conflict. She should be too lazy to deal with me."

There is still a gap between "hate" and "must kill".

Lancheng, an elegant residence by the river.

When the special envoy Bisha arrived, the place was still full of singing and dancing.

He hurried into the box on the second floor and saw that the bead curtain was still hanging there, blocking his view from inside.

As soon as the door was closed and the barrier opened, the hustle and bustle outside suddenly disappeared.

"Sir, you are truly amazing!" The Bisha envoy took out the brocade box, opened it, turned it around, and pushed it forward. "You have successfully killed Situ Yu, and my lord is very pleased! This is the final payment of 400,000 taels, and three kilograms of orange black crystal."

Bisha hired someone to kill someone, and when the murder was completed, the Bisha chief asked him to come over to pay the balance.

The attendant beside him picked up the brocade box and went into the inner room to hand it over to the master of Honglu. The master took a look at it and said, "The Pisha people are quite trustworthy."

"Our clan has always put integrity first." The Bisha envoy boasted, and then continued, "It's a pleasure to work with you. Thank you, sir. Next time I meet a difficult person, I will ask you for help."

The owner of Honglu asked lazily, "Why, you don't want to kill He Lingchuan anymore?"

The Bisha envoy smiled: "Si Tu Yu is dead, the allies will definitely change. Yang Shan and He Lingchuan may not be as difficult as before."

After all, the main character who really influenced the war situation was the leader of the Allied Forces, Situ Yu, and the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce was at most logistical support. The Pixia people judged that now that Situ Yu was dead and the Allied Forces were in turmoil, how much role could He Lingchuan play?

The owner of Honglu nodded and said, "Go ahead."

After all, the Bisha people were still reluctant to pay out another 300,000 taels of reward for killing someone.

Killing Situ Yu would only cost 500,000 taels, and killing He Lingchuan would cost 300,000 taels. The Pixia people were very upset after calculating the accounts.

The Visha envoy bowed to him and left in a hurry.

Every time he came to see the owner of Honglu, he felt creepy, as if something was staring at him in the dark.

Not long after he left, there was another soft knocking sound on the door of the private room.

"Come in."

The person who came in this time was a tall and thin man in his forties with a pale face.

He took three steps forward and knelt down in front of the owner of Honglu, not daring to raise his head.

The owner of Honglu was not surprised at all: "She escaped again?"

The word "又" is very particular.

"Yes, but this time there are outsiders involved." The tall and thin man fell to the ground. "Xiao An was first in Chenjiazhuang, and then appeared in Green Villa, more than half a month apart. I was about to catch up with her in Green Villa, but dozens of black cavalrymen suddenly appeared and killed the owner of Green Villa, Wu Madan. Xiao An was frightened and ran away."

"She doesn't have much time left. If you let her escape a few more times, you'll never find her again." The owner of Honglu said calmly, "Her condition before her death will be the focus of our observation."

The tall and thin man swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "You, the three demon puppets you entrusted to your subordinates were killed by these black cavalry..."

"Huh?" The owner of Honglu was displeased.

"I took it away."
