Taoist companions help me live forever

Chapter 15 First hearing about the chaos

The two guests of Baibaolou who were chatting were very unimpressed by the sudden arrival of Yi Xian, and even found it a bit offensive.

"What are we talking about that's none of your business? Do you have to tell me if you ask me?"

The younger guest among them frowned.

Yu Xian apologized politely.

"Sorry, it's just that a friend of mine was involved in an arms case, so I was a little excited when I heard you talking about it just now."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's not a big secret. The news should come out in a few days."

Another more mature guest held down his companion's hand to stop him from talking any more, and smiled at Yu Xian with some restraint: "This arms case must be discussed together with the Guangnan riots.

About five months ago, a riot broke out in Guangnan County in the south. A group of ordinary people, instigated by the rebel party, attacked the government office and quickly occupied several county towns.

This incident aroused the anger of the imperial court, and it didn't take long for imperial envoys to come down.

Later investigation revealed that the weapons and siege equipment used by the rebels were the same batch of ordnance stolen from the Cangbei County warehouse two years ago.

Later, the counties self-checked their warehouses and found that many of their ordnances were missing. Because of this, the imperial court blocked the major ports and said they wanted to find out who was smuggling the ordnance to the rebels.

We small businessmen who rely on water transportation for food have suffered a lot.

I originally heard that the riot had been suppressed.

But just half a month ago, the imperial envoys and county guards who were in charge of Guangnan County were assassinated in their mansions by the rebels. Now Guangnan County is in chaos, and even the county seat has been occupied.

We happened to have some connections in the south, so we knew it earlier and planned to sell all the goods in Changning City this time before continuing south. "

"That's it. Thanks for clarifying."

Yu Xian thanked him again, but his heart trembled.

Mudd, the gang!

Sure enough, anything involving arms was a problem, so if Sun Family Medicine Store wanted to say it had nothing to do with the gangsters in the south, he would write its name backwards.

No, you have to report it!

Yu Xian sold the Sun Family Medicine Store without hesitation.

After all, the Yue Kingdom doesn't look like it's about to be subjugated. The small turmoil should subside soon. When the time comes to investigate, he will inevitably get into trouble.

Sure enough, ten thousand taels of silver is not so easy to collect.

Fortunately, he only collects money to do things, and with his mid-level innate strength now revealed, and his attitude being so upright, I believe King Fu would not say anything more even if he knew about it.

When Yu Xian said goodbye and left, the young man who was unable to speak with his palm pressed down said unconvinced:

"Brother, we got this news with great difficulty. If you just say it out, if it gets out, then the price of our goods will be squeezed to death by them."

The young man who was called Brother said earnestly: "Xiao An, let's go out and do business in the world. Making money is only the second priority. The most important thing is to see this pair of tricks clearly.

Otherwise, what you lose is not money but your life.

Do you know where that man came out just now? It was the VIP room of Baibao Tower, and it was the manager Liu who sent him out in person. I saw that he was hunched over. "

"I have a good manners and won't argue with you. Believe it or not, if you dare to say a few words to me again, I will not be happy. If you say hello, let's not talk about selling goods, and we can go to jail directly."

"And you think that since we all know this news, Baibaolou will not know? Don't worry, based on what I just said, we may not suffer a loss."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Manager Liu to invite the two brothers into the VIP room and buy the goods in their hands at a normal market price, without any price reduction at all.

And all this was just because they had just talked a few more words with Yu Xian, and they seemed to be having a great time talking to each other.

Manager Liu is very happy to sell well within his scope of authority, even if Yu Xian doesn't know about it.

After leaving the Baibao Building.

"Brother, you are so awesome!"

The younger brother looked at his older brother with admiration in his eyes that almost overflowed.

"This is a big shot. He doesn't show off his appearance. He just happened to say a few words to us and helped us solve a big problem."

The elder brother took a long breath, patted the banknotes in his arms and said with emotion:

"Although I didn't make much money on this trip, luckily I didn't lose money. I don't know how many merchants who continued to go south lost their homes this time."

The ability of small businessmen to withstand risks is so poor that almost every cargo ship has to cost them most of their net worth, and some even require loans. If something goes wrong, their families will be destroyed.

Of course, it’s high risk and high return, and you’ll make a fortune if you can return smoothly.

"Brother, I want to stay for a few more days. I heard that there will be a jade prize in Baibao Tower soon."

"Okay, anyway, there won't be any chaos here for a while."

The elder brother put his arm around his younger brother's shoulders and said with an affectionate smile: "I've been so worried these past few days that my hair has turned gray. It's time to relax."

Prince Fu's Mansion.

This was the second time Yu Xian saw Prince Fu after coming to the palace.

Compared to the first time they met, Prince Fu looked significantly better.

As far as he knew, Chen Xiao would suppress the poisonous gas in King Fu's body every three days, and then he could have a meal of chicken drumsticks.

Obviously Chen Xiao understood his situation very well. It was impossible for him to completely remove the poisonous gas from King Fu, otherwise his life would be lost, even if King Fu threatened his nominal sister.

Thanks to the spare time for protection, otherwise Chen Yi would have to cooperate in the acting, and he would have to endure several punishments and beatings in front of Chen Xiao.

"Yu Chongfeng, this matter involves the rebellious party, which is not a trivial matter. The Sun family medicine shop has a good reputation. It donates medicine and provides medical treatment among the people, and is deeply supported by the people.

If there is no evidence and we take action against him rashly, I will inevitably be criticized. "

King Fu shook his head and sighed, looking embarrassed.

Yu Xian spread his hands, feeling relaxed and happy.

"In that case, forget it. The prince will take a rest, and Yu will take his leave first."

Anyway, he gave the report letter in person, and Prince Fu didn't believe it. He couldn't even think of involving him with the gangsters in the future. He couldn't be so unjustly accused.

King Fu was stunned on the spot, caught off guard by Yu Xian's straightforwardness.

No, why don’t you stop trying to persuade me?

"Wait a moment for Yu to worship!"

King Fu did not dare to make any pretense anymore, and said quickly: "Since the Sun Family Medicine Store is suspected, let's arrest them first and interrogate them. If they are not thief, it will not be too late to let them go."

He knew the inside story of the Guangnan riots better than the businessmen in the market.

It was not an ordinary riot, but an organized and premeditated rebellion, in which immortal cultivators were suspected of being involved.

Coupled with the previous cases of ordnance thefts in various counties, it is not difficult to imagine that there is a secret organization that has already extended its tentacles into various places, and perhaps there are officials from various places as internal agents.

If he were an ordinary warrior, that would be fine. No matter how powerful he was, he would never be a match for the imperial court.

It happens that immortal cultivators are involved, who knows what existence is behind them.

King Fu was helpless and a little scared about this.

Ever since the imperial brother became obsessed with cultivating immortals, the imperial court has made it clear that they are being treated as free rein towards the vassal kings. They have not made any statement about his assassination last time.

He might be able to use the Sun Family Medicine Store to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger once, to show his force.

As for what to do if you are really wronged.

Even if they are unlucky, do they still need him, the prince, to apologize?

"But Your Majesty, there is no evidence for this?" Yu Xian returned the original words.

"Yu Congfeng's words are evidence. This matter will be handled by Yu Chongfeng with full authority. I will ask others to cooperate with you."

King Fu planned to let Yu Xian be the pioneer.

Regarding Yu Xian, a guy with unknown origins and unclear wealth, who joined the palace halfway and was very powerful, King Fu was actually very conflicted and didn't know how to deal with him.

A Xiantian Grandmaster was a big help to the palace, especially after Yu Xian announced that he had broken through the middle stage of Xiantian, the palace was even more reluctant to let him go.

This time, it happened that the Sun family medicine store allowed him to deepen his bond with the palace.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xian refused naturally: "I won't go."

King Fu: "..."

"Yu Gongfeng, you personally reported the Sun Family Medicine Store to me. Isn't it inappropriate for you not to take action?"

King Fu suppressed his anger.

You just shirk it on weekdays, but if you dare to do this in front of him, are you not giving him face as a prince?

Do you still want to clear yourself of suspicion?

Yu Xian, however, looked like he was in a dilemma between loyalty and righteousness. He was very confused:

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, the old shopkeeper of the Sun family and I hit it off instantly and became close friends at one time. I feel very uncomfortable reporting him this time.

If I were to arrest him myself, I really don't know how I would handle myself.

He also asked the prince to look for someone else, such as Ding Chongfeng, who was highly skilled in martial arts and experienced in martial arts. Yu felt that he was the best candidate.

Of course, if the prince insists that I go and traps me in injustice, Yu can naturally go. But from now on, I no longer have the courage to stay in the palace, so I have to wander around the country and look for a place to go. "

King Fu saw that he had already reached this point, and if he continued to force him, he would be trapped in injustice and force him away, so he would have nothing to say.

Damn it, if it weren’t for the fact that you have broken through the middle stage of innateness!

Prince Fu couldn't bear to part with a mid-level Xiantian martial arts master who could sit in the palace all year round, so he had to suppress his anger and squeeze out a smile:

"Is this the kind of person I am? If Yu Chongfeng doesn't want to go, just don't go. I'll leave this matter to Ding Chongfeng."

Yu Xian looked grateful: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

Ding Le, who was recuperating in Tianzi Building No. 3, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose, and then said impatiently to the disciple of Changle Sword Sect in front of him:

"Give the money to the man named Yu. Remember, don't say anything."
