Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

After hearing what Wen Jiaxiang said, Li Junze remembered Wangyu Tower. It should be Wang Zhuo's intention to take action against Li Junhao.

But why didn't he tell me anything?

"I'm not going. Just arrange for someone to go over and find out what's going on. We have more important things to do."

Li Junze shook his head, still thinking about the hundreds of people captured by the Jingji Army.

He had to save them no matter what. Only in this way would his chances of winning be greater.

After hearing this, Wen Jiaxiang could only nod and agree.

However, at this time, Qiandaozhai was indeed blocked as Wen Jiaxiang said, and many people had even poured into the shop.

It seems that they have spent a lot of effort in building momentum over the past two days. There is no shortage of such idle people who like to watch the fun in the capital.

The shopkeeper of Qiandaozhai is named Qian, a man in his forties. He is usually low-key and he behaved in his usual style today.

But seeing the scene in my shop today, I still feel a little excited.

After all, Qiandaozhai has been around for so many years, but it has never been as lively as it is today.

The person next to him is the head of Zui Xiang Pavilion, Yin Caibin, nicknamed "Yin Yishou".

Many people in Zhangzhou have heard of him, not because of his high level of incense-making skills, but because when he was thirteen years old, he chopped off his left hand while preparing feed for his family's cows.

After that, he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar with the help of his right hand. However, he failed in the following years. After living in poverty for several years, he suddenly became the owner of Zui Xiang Pavilion in Zhangzhou.

Yes, it’s the boss, not the shopkeeper.

In other words, all the perfumes in Zuixiang Pavilion were blended by him.

In Zhangzhou, also known as the "Incense Capital", almost everyone knows how to make some kinds of incense, and even the recipes of some incense are already public. However, he has been able to run Zui Xiang Ge for so many years, so he must have his own unique features.

Seeing him show up at this time today, Gu Xunwei, who was hiding in the crowd, could roughly guess that he must have secretly defected to Wang Zhuo and must have done a lot of things for him.

Unfortunately, what happened today is bound to cause Zui Xiang Pavilion to suffer a complete defeat and return with nothing.

Seeing that it was already past the Si hour, the noisy crowd became even more noisy. Generally, the fragrance tasting competition would be scheduled around the Si hour and should not end later than noon.

Because incense belongs to Yin, once it is past noon the Yang energy will be too strong and it will be unsuitable to smell incense.

"What's going on? Why hasn't the perfume tasting competition started yet?" someone started shouting anxiously.

"Yes, yes, what are you waiting for? What's going on?" someone else shouted in agreement.

Manager Qian of Qiandaozhai also had a very ugly expression on his face at this time. Wangyulou received the declaration of war that he had someone send over, but did not show up. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

Liu Yishou from Zui Xiang Xuan clasped his fists with the crowd below the stage, with a hint of apology on his face, "I'm sorry everyone, no one has arrived at Wang Yu Tower yet. We will have to wait for Wang Yu Tower for at most half an hour. Please be patient."

Qiandaozhai is a very popular venue for literati. Many times they would meet friends here through poetry, or someone would hold a poetry gathering here with a ready-made stage.

Liu Yishou stood on the stage with a very loud voice, but the people below were talking very loudly. He spoke twice before people gradually quieted down.

"How could this happen? Wangyulou is not scared, is it? I was wondering why it has been closed recently?"

Some people guessed it immediately after hearing it, but his words clearly had a guiding meaning.

"Yes, yes, Wangyulou didn't even dare to come to the fragrance-tasting competition. It seems that they really have internal problems." Someone immediately echoed.

Liu Yishou and Manager Qian on the stage looked at each other and both showed satisfied expressions. Even if the other party did not come, they also had a way to defeat them miserably.

Just when the two of them were about to take the second step, the topic below had quietly changed direction.

"Oh, you don't know, Wangyulou receives countless letters of challenge every day. Don't you think they don't take it seriously?"

"Yes, I heard their young man mention it last time. He said that when Manager Bai heard that it was a letter of challenge, he didn't even look at it."

"With so many challenges every day, how can Wangyulou still operate? They should just participate in the fragrance-testing competition every day."

"Yes, yes, yes, this Zui Xiang Xuan, I've never even heard of it before, but they take themselves so seriously and make such a big fuss about it, isn't that funny?"

"I heard they came from Zhangzhou, but I've been to Zhangzhou and I haven't seen this Zui Xiang Xuan there. Maybe they came here to cause trouble."

As more and more voices like this were heard, the confused people also started to talk about it.

Liu Yishou was getting a little anxious, and his only remaining right hand was nervously put behind his back. He tried to signal Manager Qian with his eyes, but Manager Qian just shook his head slightly.

The arrangements Wang Zhuo made for them did not mention that such a situation would occur. They should wait and see whether the situation can be turned around.

Gu Xunwei was wearing a veil and saw the expressions of the two people on the stage. Because she didn't understand what their purpose was, she took the risk and came over in person.

However, after looking at it again and again, she still couldn't figure it out. She wondered doubtfully, could it be that Wang Zhuo and the others wanted to use this to lure out His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

But that's not true. To His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Wangyu Tower is just one of his many industries. It may be more important to me.

Could it be that the other party’s target is actually the Gu family?

When she thought of this, she looked at Bai Zhi beside her, "Hurry, let's go back."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a commotion came from the back of the crowd. Several huge forces continued to hit the people around them, and then someone let out a scream.

"Help, help..."

Some people fell down due to the crowd, but the crowd continued to push them, and then more people were pushed to the ground.

Bai Zhi nervously retreated towards the crowd with Gu Xunwei, but they could hardly move in the crowded crowd.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhi's feet were grabbed from below, and then more people crowded towards her from all directions, and soon she lost the ability to move.

When I looked back, I saw that Gu Xunwei had been knocked unconscious and taken away by two people.

"Miss, ma'am..."
