After the immortal disappeared

"Yes." Jiang Lishui was also very respectful to him, "We entered the country legally for business in accordance with the agreement with Yao State. We never expected that such an accident would happen. Everyone who could manage things from top to bottom in Xian City Branch died in the fire. Someone was on duty at the helm that night. They said they woke up in the middle of the night and noticed 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 opened it, and they were able to escape the fire. "

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

How much hatred and resentment do you have to burn his helm and harm his subordinates?

However, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce has just arrived and has just established itself in Yao Country. Who can they offend?

Dong Rui also said angrily: "What kind of things in business can cause death?"

"When the government conducted an autopsy, they said he was burned to death. But we don't believe it. We have to find someone to do the autopsy ourselves."

A fire can burn away a lot of evidence.

Even He Lingchuan did not expect that the Yangshan Merchant Guild would take so many lives in the richest Yao country instead of the Shining Gold Plains.

"Have you taken over any enviable big business in these two departments?"

"Xialin Branch has only been established for less than ten days, and the manpower is not yet complete. It has only taken on two businesses, both of which are small in scale." Jiang Lishui said, "Xiancheng Branch is the first one we opened in Yao Country, and it is also the largest. There are more than one hundred and sixty people in the branch, including the guards, and they are doing a great job. If it is a business that offends others, I am afraid that only the Xiancheng branch can take over."

Finding this out will take time.

He paused and then said: "Xiancheng officials came to the scene to investigate and believe that the fire was purely accidental and was caused by our careless use of fire at the helm and the ignition of fuel."

Dong Rui was dissatisfied: "Are you lying to fools? You can do this kind of appraisal, but don't they look ashamed?"

Why did the person in charge die? Xiancheng officials ignored it and insisted that the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce accidentally used fire at the helm, and in turn wanted to hold the Chamber of Commerce responsible——

The fire was so intense that seven or eight shops nearby were also damaged and burned to the ground.

"It burned completely in a short period of time, which is 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 the country is targeting us."

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

Otherwise, this charming look will be shown to the blind man.

Dong Rui snorted: "You are very courageous. We are foreign businessmen who have been admitted by King Yao! How dare anyone dare to disturb us?"

"A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake." He Lingchuan's face was as dark as water. "So what if we do business with the official of Yao Kingdom? King Yao can't solve Yang Shan's troubles all day long."

Besides, he has seen how complicated the interior of a royal court is.

"Let's start with the big business that Xiancheng branch has recently facilitated." He Lingchuan said slowly, "Maybe the culprit is buried there."

For a long time, the development of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce in the Golden Plains has been too smooth to be true. He also knew that these good days of smooth sailing and smooth sailing would eventually come to an end.

But, this day comes a little too quickly.

"Yao Guo, um..." He touched his chin.

After Jiang Lishui retreated, Dong Ruicai asked: "Hey, do you think it was the old witch who instigated her subordinates to do this? She was appointed as the Supervisor of the Yao Kingdom, and she seems to have brought many experts with her."

"Her faction is originally a big tree with deep roots. It took almost three years for Imperial Master Shuangye to prun out all the trees. Besides, it's a very difficult job for her to be in charge of prison in a foreign country. The Demon Emperor must have sent enough manpower for her." He Lingchuan I was also thinking about whether these two incidents were caused by Imperial Master Qingyang?

"It doesn't make sense." He mused, "Qingyang and I have no fundamental conflict. She should be too lazy to deal with me."

There is still a gulf between "disgusting" and "must kill".

Lancheng, elegant residence by the river.

When the Vishat envoy arrived, the place was still singing and dancing.

He hurriedly entered the private room on the second floor and saw that the bead curtain was still hung here, blocking his view of peeking inside.

As soon as the door of the house is closed and the barrier is opened, the hustle and bustle outside suddenly becomes silent.

"Sir, you are serious!" The special envoy of Vixia took out the brocade box, opened it, turned it around, and pushed it forward, "You succeeded in killing Situ Yu, my lord is very happy! Here is the balance of 400,000 taels, and three kilograms of orange Xuanjing."

When Visya hired a murderer and the other party finished, the Visya clan leader asked him to come over and pay the balance.

The attendant on the side picked up the brocade box and walked into the inner room, handing it over to the owner of the red house. The latter took a look and said humbly: "The Bixia people still have some credibility."

"Our clan has always put trust first." Envoy Vixia boasted first, and then continued, "It's a pleasure to cooperate, thank you sir. Next time I encounter a troublesome person, I'll ask you to take action."

The owner of the red house asked lazily: "What, you don't want to kill He Lingchuan?"

The special envoy of Vixia smiled: "Situ Yu is dead, and the allies will inevitably change. Yang Shan and He Lingchuan may not be as troublesome as before."

In the final analysis, the protagonist who really affects the situation of the war is the Allied leader Situ Yu, and the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is at best logistical support. The Bixia people judged that now that Situ Yu was dead and the Allies were in turmoil, how much role could He Lingchuan still play?

The owner of the red house nodded: "You go ahead."

After all, the Bixia people were still reluctant to pay another 300,000 taels for the murder.

Killing Situ Yu only costs 500,000 taels, and killing He Lingchuan costs 300,000 taels. The people of Bixia were very angry after settling this account.

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

Every time he came to see the owner of the red cottage, he felt creepy, as if something was watching him secretly.

Not long after he left, there was another gentle sound of peeling and pecking at the door of the private room.

"Come in."

This time the person who came in was a tall, thin man in his forties with a pale complexion.

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

The owner of the red house was surprised: "She escaped again?"

The word "you" is very particular.

"Yes, but this time there was an outsider involved." The tall and thin man lay on the ground, "Xiao An was in Chenjiazhuang first, and then appeared in Luyi Villa, more than half a month apart. The subordinates originally almost caught up with her at Luyi Villa, but ended up sideways. Dozens of black cavalrymen were killed and Xiao An was frightened and ran away.

"Her time is running out. If you let her escape a few more times, you will never find her again." The owner of the red house 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-headed demon puppet you entrusted to your subordinates, were killed by these black cavalry..."

"Huh?" The owner of the red house was displeased.

"Took it away."
