"Why? Why do you want me to go? What did I do wrong? Why are you doing this?"
"Yeah, we don't agree!"
"You can't drive us away like this. Pay up!"
"Tsk, if you drive us away, can you still hire people?"
The employees were very unconvinced, and one of them, Li Guangsi, called Brother Tebi. He was thin, and when he shouted at the top of his lungs, the veins on his neck popped out, as if he had met his father's murderer.
"Who said I can't hire people!"
Just when Xiao Junhao didn't know what to do, a lot of strong men came outside. Three of them were the Northern Hell's servants, the dog demons, and the others were the Northern Hell's guards. They were now the private property of the Northern Hell, so there would be no problem. Even if there was a problem, it would be solved by the City Lord's Mansion. The City Defense Captain didn't have that much power.
"Get the money and get out of here. Don't make me unhappy."
Although the Dog Demons were submissive in front of Du Feng, they were usually domineering figures who ran amok in the village. They couldn't fight with real masters, but it was not a problem to bully a few shop assistants. Xiao Junhao was too kind because he was used to doing business, so the shop assistants weren't afraid of him.
"Okay, okay, we'll get out now!"
The shop assistants were so scared by the three Dog Demons that they scrambled and ran away. There were also a few timid ones who didn't even want their wages for this month. In the end, it was Xiao Junhao who stopped them and paid their wages.
"Master said to check all the goods in the store to see if there are any problems."
Ever since the three dog demons started following Du Feng, they had learned a lot. And when they spoke, they were full of momentum, like dogs relying on their master's power. Du Feng was still very polite to Xiao Junhao, but in their eyes, this so-called Boss Xiao was just a person who worked for the master.
"Not good, a city guard is coming this way."
Not long after those shop assistants were chased away, a team of city guards rushed over to the Northern Dark Miscellaneous Goods Store. The guards that Du Feng had stationed outside quickly discovered the problem and quickly informed Xiao Junhao to get ready.
"Guards, surround this shop for me."
The one leading the team was the captain of the City Defense, Hong Huiwu. According to Du Feng's intelligence, this man was the spy who had been bribed by the Nangong Family.
"Captain Hong, what brings you to our store?"
Seeing so many people coming, Xiao Junhao immediately came out to win. If it was any other time, he would definitely be scared out of his wits if his shop was surrounded by so many city guards. Even though he knew that he had Du Feng's protection, he was still a little nervous.
"Someone reported that your shop is harboring a wanted criminal. Hurry up and hand him over."
Captain Hong was full of confidence, saying that the Dark North Grocery Store was harboring a wanted criminal. After hearing that, Xiao Junhao was stunned, thinking that it was a good thing that he had chased away the shop assistants. Otherwise, he would definitely be caught by the other party. Brother Dark North is so decisive in doing things, no wonder he could have such great achievements.
"I think Captain Hong has misunderstood. All the employees in this shop are servants of the Northern Hell. There is no wanted criminal like you said."
Xiao Junhao said this with confidence, because the servants of the Northern Hell were all brought with them when they bought the house. These servants were all reviewed by the City Lord's Mansion and then tied together with the house deed. If there was a problem with the servants of the Northern Hell, then there was a problem with the review of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Nonsense, I saw with my own eyes that a wanted criminal was hiding in your shop, and you dare to deny it."
Captain Hong did come to the store yesterday. He pretended to buy something and observed the store while he was at it. Now that Xiao Junhao thought about it, he realized that it was a trap. But now that all the employees had been chased away, why did he still come to make trouble? Did he miss something here?
"Come out, let Captain Hong see if there is a wanted criminal like he said."
In addition to the three dog demons in the Northern Hell, the rest were all servants brought with them. Even these three dog demons, after Du Feng took them in, he also made a record of them in the City Lord's Mansion. The three of them stood at the entrance of the shop and stared at Captain Hong with their eyes wide open.
"Are there really only these few people?"
Captain Hong looked at them and still didn't believe it. He thought to himself, "You guys reacted really fast, you actually chased them away." The wanted criminal that was originally placed inside could not be hidden. It didn't matter, he still had a backup plan.
"Yes, everyone's here."
Xiao Junhao looked at Captain Hong's expression, a little confused. But at present, there were only these employees, so there should be no problem. If there was a problem, it would be with the goods. Right, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something wrong with the shop assistant who was in charge of the elixirs.
It was the very thin Li Guangsi who was in charge of the sale of the elixirs. He was very excited when he wanted to chase them away just now. If it weren't for the dog demon wanting to beat him up, he probably wouldn't have left. If there was a problem, then there must be a problem with his link. For example, putting one or two bottles of poison or inferior medicine in the shop, and then framing him.
What should I do? Thinking of this, Xiao Junhao's face turned green. Just now, the dog demon had brought a message to count all the goods, and he felt that it was a bit unnecessary. Although he did count, he didn't do his best. Before the count was finished, Captain Hong came with his men.
"Cut the crap, go in and search."
Captain Hong didn't mention the goods, still insisting that their shop was harboring wanted criminals. Xiao Junhao basically guessed that these people must have taken the opportunity to search for the wanted criminals, pretending to find illegal goods by coincidence, and then caught the criminals. These people were too ruthless, so many bad ideas.
"Let's see who dares to come in. You have to figure out whose shop this is."
Three dog demons and several guards blocked the door, not letting the city guards in. Everyone's Cultivation was about the same, so it was not certain who would be stronger in a fight. The reason why the city guards were arrogant was that they were in the name of the government. But the search must have been organized by Hong Huiwu himself, and he didn't report to the city defense department at all, let alone let the mayor's residence know.
If it were a small shop, it would definitely cooperate with them. This was a private property of the Northern Hell, so it still had the confidence to fight against them.
"What's wrong? You guys dare to resist the law? Men, arrest all of you!"
