Chapter 218 There are people up there! Someone from Hengshan!

In the past two days, Xiucai kept revising his novel according to Aunt Fan's opinions, until he finally broke down emotionally. What made him collapse was that Aunt Fan insisted on making him write "King Xiaoyao" as a very disgusting villain.

He really wants to tell Aunt Fan that this is a character created based on the prince. According to your modifications, the final result will be that everyone likes the Nine Clans Xiaoxiaole.

The scholar did not waste any nonsense and directly rejected Aunt Fan's request. The two had a heated argument. Before she had time to understand the whole story, Guo Furong immediately pulled the scholar aside and cursed him fiercely.

Lao Bai smiled apologetically.

Aunt Fan said angrily: "This is your first time writing, so it's normal that you don't understand. I'm going to teach you, but you have to learn to listen. Young people are disobedient and impulsive. It's hard to get ahead in this life."

Guo Furong felt a little harsh when she heard these words, but thinking about how much money she could make, she subconsciously swallowed her anger and put on a smile, "Aunt Fan, don't be angry. I told you to have a good chat with him."

Aunt Fan turned her head to the side proudly.

Lu Xiucai said angrily: "This old witch is desperate for her life. She wants to change the role of Xiaoyao King. I didn't agree and that's why we started arguing."

Guo Furong asked doubtfully: "How does she want to change it?"

Lu Xiucai whispered in her ear for a long time. Guo Furong's face was shocked at first, and then turned red visibly, not from shyness, but from extreme anger.

The scholar had tried his best to use civilized words to describe it, but Guo Furong still heard all kinds of unhappiness between the lines. If this was written into a book and spread on the market, even her father Guo Juxia would not be able to save her.

Lao Bai swallowed silently, and the more he looked at Aunt Fan, the more he felt that she was not going to die soon.

“Overwhelming!!!”

Guo Furong jumped up and launched an overwhelming attack, but the scholar hugged her around the waist and failed to hit Aunt Fan.

"Ouch! What are you doing!"

Aunt Fan jumped up in fright, quickly stepped back, and said in a panic: "I'm telling you, don't mess around, there's someone above me!"

"I don't care if you have someone!" Guo Furong bared her teeth and claws to show off to Aunt Fan.

The scholar held her tightly while shouting: "I won't write anymore. You can find someone else to cooperate. I won't send you far away!"

Aunt Fan sneered and said, "It's okay not to write it down. Just follow what is written in the contract and compensate me for my losses."

Hearing the word compensation, Old Bai Xiucai and Guo Furong were stunned.

"Who pays who?"

Guo Furong, who was new to the world, fell into a trap and didn't realize that Aunt Fan had tampered with the contract. They didn't realize they had been fooled until they took the contract and read it over.

Lao Bai said anxiously: "Why didn't you look at it twice when you signed it?"

Guo Furong said angrily: "Who knew she blocked the scholar's name with ink drops!"

"You are such a profiteer!" Lu Xiucai pointed at Aunt Fan and said through gritted teeth.

"There is no business without treachery." Aunt Fan smiled proudly.

Guo Furong was crying and didn't know how to compensate for the sky-high liquidated damages. The scholar was even more desperate. After thinking for a moment, Lao Bai went up to the second floor. It didn't take long before he took down a bag full of valuable jewelry.

Lao Bai gave the funerary objects unearthed from King Xin's tomb to Aunt Fan as liquidated damages, just in time to pass the hot potato to others.

It's just that Tong Xiangyu is a little reluctant to let go.

But the situation has become like this, and she has no choice but to ignore it. The most she can do is educate the two of them afterwards.

Aunt Fan left the contract behind and happily carried her baggage out of the inn. She ran into Chu Yang within a few steps. Aunt Fan was stunned for a moment, feeling that the person in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

Chu Yang just glanced at the baggage in her arms and knew who she was. He smiled meaningfully and passed Aunt Fan.

Back at Tongfu Inn, Tong Xiangyu's mournful voice echoed in the lobby. Everyone was comforting her. Guo Furong was like a child who had made a mistake, standing aside and not daring to speak.

"It's an ill-gotten gain anyway, so why should Shopkeeper Tong feel sorry for it?"

Tong Xiangyu looked up and saw Chu Yang, her heart suddenly stopped for a moment, and a chill shot from her tailbone to Tianling Gai.

Chu Yang's meaning was obvious. He knew that it was a burial object in King Xin's tomb.

Lao Bai reacted faster than Tong Xiangyu. He knelt down in front of Chu Yang with lightning speed, hugged Chu Yang's thigh and wailed, "My lord, I really didn't steal this time. I never touch anything in the tomb!"

Tong Xiangyu realized later and knelt down as well, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, that thing has nothing to do with us. It was left here by a tomb robber named Lei Laowu last time. I was the one who left it here temporarily. I was so obsessed that I couldn’t hand it in in time.”

Guo Furong and Lu Xiucai's eyes were full of confusion, and they couldn't figure out what the three of them were talking about. Judging from the shopkeeper's behavior, the matter seemed to be quite serious.

Chu Yang put his finger on Lao Bai's forehead, pushed him away, then sat down and said with a smile: "I know it wasn't you who robbed the tomb. You don't have the ability. I have already asked others to handle this matter."

Lao Bai looked at Chu Yang eagerly and asked, "Your Majesty, are we okay?"

Chu Yang didn't answer, but asked: "Have you ever had the wrong idea to dismantle the jewelry and sell them piece by piece?"

"Yes... I know this is selling stolen goods and I will be caught." Lao Bai was dejected. He was the one who came up with the idea, and he would definitely not be able to escape.

Tong Xiangyu pursed her lips and said nothing, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Seeing the two people were so scared, Chu Yang stopped teasing them and said with a smile: "But since you two know your mistakes and are willing to give up those things for your friends, I will not punish you."

The two looked at Chu Yang in surprise.

Tong Xiangyu happily ordered Da Zui to cook a table of delicious dishes to thank Chu Yang.

Chu Yang rejected their kindness and went back to his room to rest.

The next morning, Lao Xing came in from outside in a hurry. As soon as he sat down, he picked up the kettle on the table and poured it into his mouth.

"Lao Xing! How can other guests drink like this?"

Tong Xiangyu snatched the kettle from Lao Xing's hand and looked at him with a face full of complaints.

"I left in a hurry and my throat felt like it was on fire. Let me drink some!"

Lao Xing stretched out his hand to grab it, but Tong Xiangyu quickly dodged. Lao Bai handed over a teacup from the side. Lao Xing held the teacup helplessly and took a few sips with his mouth.

Lao Bai asked curiously, "Why are you here at this time? We just opened the door."

Lao Xing yawned and smiled bitterly, "I was busy all night last night."

Lao Bai smiled and said, "What else can keep you busy all night?"

Lao Xing shook his head, "It was all those Jinyiwei from the capital. They were originally investigating the theft of Prince Xin's tomb, but they suddenly stopped investigating and asked the county constables and yamen runners to find someone called Aunt Fan."

"Who the hell knows who this Aunt Fan is, but they want to find someone, and we can't help but move. We had to ask everyone one by one. We searched the entire Shibalipu and met her in Qixia Town in the second half of the night!"

"Oh my god, this Aunt Fan is very fierce. The Jinyiwei caught her and she dared to bite people!"

"While biting, she shouted, I have someone above me!"

……………………

Aunt Fan became a scapegoat, and the tomb robbery storm finally came to an end. The investigation of Prince Xin's tomb is still ongoing. Captain Zuo would come to Tongfu Inn from time to time to report the situation to Chu Yang.

The Demon Cult is a strange organization. Although it is a human race, it is hostile to the human race. At the same time, it is not close to the demon race and is also in a hostile state with the demon race. They even hate demons the most.

The Demon Cult is very secretive. Every time they appear before the great changes in the world, they will stir up a bloody storm. On the contrary, after the great changes in the world, they suddenly become low-key and act sneakily.

The blood sacrifice beads used by the Prince of Pingnan to destroy the dragon veins that protect the emperor's body are closely related to the Demon Cult.

Zhuge Zhengwo has arranged several encirclements against the Demon Cult, but they all failed without exception. This group of people hid deeper and became more difficult to find.

The information left in the tomb of Prince Xin is very helpful in finding the whereabouts of the Demon Cult.

The importance of the matter alarmed Zhuge Zhengwo, who was in charge of the capital, and he appeared in Taiping Mountain with his divine detectives.

Zuo Qianhu's report ends here. What will happen next will have to wait for a few days to know.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and the tomb of Prince Xin is just one of them. Chu Yang thinks Zhuge Zhengwo may return disappointed, and those demons will not easily reveal their whereabouts.

However, Chu Yang is looking forward to the development of things, and hopes that Zuo Qianhu will bring him a surprise next time.

Time passed day by day, and Zuo Qianhu did not wait, but Tongfu Inn waited for an old friend.

Shopkeeper Qian.

And it was Shopkeeper Qian with bruises all over his body.

Those who don’t know would think he met bandits somewhere.

Chu Yang was eating breakfast, and suddenly heard a movement outside the door. He looked up and saw Shopkeeper Qian walked in with dark circles under his eyes, leaning on a wooden stick and limping. He didn’t look like a shopkeeper, but a refugee who fled to Qixia Town.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Qian, what’s wrong with you?"

Lao Bai hurriedly came up and helped the shaky Shopkeeper Qian to sit down at the table.

"Looking at you like this, your wife must have done something bad to you again, right? I have to say it, she was too cruel, isn't she afraid of hurting you?"

Tong Xiangyu looked at Shopkeeper Qian worriedly, fearing that he would disappear completely one day.

"Let's not talk about my affairs, Shopkeeper Tong, you should run away quickly, it will be too late if you are late."

Shopkeeper Qian had a sad face and his voice was very urgent.

"Run away? Why should I run away for no reason?" Tong Xiangyu looked at Shopkeeper Qian in confusion.

Shopkeeper Qian explained: "Because the jewelry you sold me last time was too cheap, my wife thought we had an affair, and she wanted to settle the score with you!"

"You and me?" Tong Xiangyu looked at Shopkeeper Qian with disdain, "Not everyone has a special taste like your wife."

"Don't make fun of me, Shopkeeper Tong, I am really worried about you!" Shopkeeper Qian was so anxious that he almost cried.

Tong Xiangyu said helplessly: "You should explain this little thing to her!"

Shopkeeper Qian pulled up his sleeves with tears in his eyes, revealing his arms covered with bruises and purples. "I explained it to her that day, but she didn't listen at all and beat me up like this."

Tong Xiangyu said angrily: "Then return the jewelry to me! I can't bear to sell it anyway."

Shopkeeper Qian shook his head and said: "It's too late, Shopkeeper Tong, you should think about what to do when my wife comes? Ordinary people can't deal with her."

Tong Xiangyu sneered: "What a coincidence, the guests and waiters at Tongfu Inn are not ordinary people, so why would I be afraid of her? You should tell your wife to be careful."

Whose peerless master dares not take the prince seriously?

Shopkeeper Qian saw that he couldn't persuade Tong Xiangyu, and felt a little guilty. He stood up and said goodbye: "I still want to advise you to run away quickly. My wife is the most unreasonable person."

Lao Bai smiled and said: "It's okay. We are best at subduing people with force here."

Shopkeeper Qian held on to the wall and walked out tremblingly.

"Mrs. Qian is really fierce. She doesn't even make sense. I will only have to rely on you, Zhantang!"

"No problem, I'll cover it."

"And here's me, the shopkeeper."

"Okay, okay, I'll trouble you when the time comes, Xiao Guo."

"That's pretty much it."

Guo Furong said with a smile: "Even if we can't defeat him, we still have senior brother. Anyway, he has nothing to do all day long."

"Ahem." Chu Yang was choked while eating and couldn't speak.

"Don't talk nonsense. The prince is an honored guest, so there is no reason for an honored guest to take action!" Tong Xiangyu glared at Guo Furong fiercely, fearing that she would scare away her God of Wealth.

"Shopkeeper, your Tongfu Inn is quite lively all day long, much more lively than when I was in the capital." Chu Yang smiled and got up, went up to the second floor, ready to take a nap before going out for a stroll.

He planned to wait until the matter about King Xin's Tomb was resolved before leaving, and then go south to Jinling City. He didn't know where the Firearms Battalion's research had reached in the past few days.

It's really curious.

Although the plan was quite good, Chu Yang slept right into the evening. When he got up and had dinner, it was already a little dark outside.

Lao Bai finished cleaning up the lobby and was about to close the door and take a rest when there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"Our store is closed!"

Lao Bai shouted towards the outside.

Boom, boom, boom!

The knocking on the door still kept ringing.

"Hey, I guess he's staying in a hotel."

The corner of Lao Bai's mouth raised. These days, except for the prince, no one else is staying in the hotel.

"That's not a coincidence. Shopkeeper Tong finally made some money back on his jewelry."

Chu Yang joked from the side.

Lao Bai chuckled, stretched out his hand to pull out the door bolt, and as soon as he opened the door, three figures rushed in, knocking Lao Bai off his back.

"What's the rush? There are plenty of rooms!"

Lao Bai complained, stood up and found that the three people in front of him were all holding swords, looking menacing.

He subconsciously prepared for battle.

The first man among the three looked more mature, with a mustache above his mouth, and he was also the burliest, while the other two were thinner.

"Where's Mo Xiaobei?!"

The three of them looked left and right, and then asked in unison.

"Are you looking for Xiaobei?" Lao Bai immediately became alert, "Are you three looking for Xiaobei for something?"

"Are you the only one in charge of the waiter?" One of them didn't take Lao Bai seriously and was about to rush into the backyard with a long stride.

Lao Bai's figure swayed and he stood in front of him silently.

"Yo, there's something else."

"Sir, if you have anything to say, please tell me in the lobby."

"I don't!"

As soon as these words came out, the two of them attacked at the same time, instantly igniting the flames of war.

Chu Yang turned into a happy man, got up and walked to the counter, took out a bottle of wine, poured himself a glass of wine, and watched the fight between the two. (End of chapter)
