It turned out that Zhou Shuren and Zhou Shuyu were both Hall Masters of the same branch. Zhou Shuren was the Hall Master while Zhou Shuyu was the Vice Hall Master.
"Vice Hall Master, we lost contact with Hall Master Zhou a few days ago. When Sima Youyue killed Vice Hall Master Zhou today, she said that she had already killed Hall Master Zhou." The person kneeling on the ground said.
"Where are those people?" The Vice Hall Master asked.
"They are all at the inn." The guard replied.
"Inn, inn?"
When the members of the Heavenly Tiger Hall heard the name of the inn, they all frowned. It was obvious that this was not a place they wanted to offend.
"Go and capture them!" The Vice Hall Master ordered with a solemn face.
"Vice Hall Master, in my opinion, it's best if we don't go and capture them right now." A man sitting below said.
"Why?" The Vice Hall Master looked at that person unhappily. If he couldn't give a good reason, he would definitely blame him.
The man was not intimidated by his aura and said, "Those people dared to kill the Deputy Hall Master of our Heavenly Tiger Hall on the streets. They even said that they killed Branch Hall Master Zhou. If it wasn't for the fact that they are strong enough to not be afraid of us, then they must have some status that we don't dare to touch. If we act rashly, it might bring us some trouble. Why don't we send someone to check their identities first? If it's not the two situations mentioned above, it won't be too late to arrest them and punish them. "
Hearing his words, the others also fell into deep thought. His words were not without reason!
"Vice Hall Master, I agree with Hall Master Bai's idea. These people suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Tiger Ridge, we should treat them seriously. If something like Shopkeeper Chou happens again …"
Last time, they also went to look for trouble with Shopkeeper Chou. At that time, he was just a servant who had just entered Hucheng. They also went to collect protection fees, but they were rejected and beaten up. Later on, the people they sent were all beaten up by him. Only then did they know that they had provoked a difficult person to deal with. In the end, the Hall Master had to personally apologize and compensate them with a lot of things before the matter was settled.
Later on, Shopkeeper Chou opened an inn in Hong City and named it Inn Inn. From then on, this place became a special place in Hong City. This was the only place where they didn't dare to collect protection fees.
After so many years, such a thing had happened again. They had to treat it seriously.
The Vice Hall Master also thought of this matter and said, "Since that's the case, then send someone to the inn to closely monitor their movements and then send more people to investigate them."
"Branch Hall Master Zhou went to the Zhuo Clan and then disappeared. I think we should send more people to investigate. Perhaps we will find something."
"Go."
"Yes, Vice Hall Master."
Sima Youyue and the rest were staying at the inn. The onlookers initially thought that the Heavenly Tiger Hall would send people to deal with them quickly. However, after waiting for an entire day, there was no movement at all.
Only the shopkeeper, who was counting the money behind the counter, felt that there were more people outside.
However, he only smiled and did not say anything.
At first, Sima Youyue and the others were surprised when they saw that no one came. However, they realized that there were people watching them from outside. They must have gone to check on them.
Sima Youyue and the rest were not in a hurry and stayed in the inn. However, in order to avoid being caught one by one, they did not go out to shop.
In these two days, Sima Youyue and Bei Gong Tang came downstairs and smiled as they walked to the counter. Looking at Shopkeeper Chou, she said, "Shopkeeper Chou, your income is not small!"
Shopkeeper Chou saw the smile on Sima Youyue's face and subconsciously covered the crystals on the counter, saying, "These are uncertain. If you are killed by the Heavenly Tiger Hall in the end, I will have to pay a lot of compensation!"
As he spoke, he threw out a book and said, "Look at this thick book. It's full of people betting on your death."
Sima Youyue took it and flipped through it. Tsk tsk, there were at least ten thousand people betting that they would be killed by the Heavenly Tiger Hall!
Innkeeper Chou took out a booklet and said, "This is for your safety."
Sima Youyue took it and quickly finished reading it. Because there were only a hundred people on it, there were only a few pages.
"What's the other possibility?" She thought of another possibility. Even if they destroyed the Heavenly Tiger Hall, the shopkeeper did not take it out.
"There's not a single person on that." Shopkeeper Chou said, "Speaking of which, if I wasn't the banker, I would have bet on that. Unfortunately, it's useless even if I bought it. There's no one to compensate me. "
Sima Youyue looked at Shopkeeper Chou, who looked as if he had lost a lot of money, and said, "If you dare to bet like that, aren't you afraid of losing a single cent?"
"I've lived for so many years, I'm quite good at judging people." Shopkeeper Chou said.
Sima Youyue laughed, saying, "Shopkeeper Chou looks handsome and refined. Don't tell me you're actually an old monster that has lived for thousands of years?"
Indeed, Shopkeeper Chou looked to be in his twenties or thirties. His white robes made him look even more elegant, but his greedy eyes made him seem like an ordinary person.
Hearing her say this, Shopkeeper Chou pursed his lips.
An old monster that has lived for thousands of years? How could he be that old? At the very least, it should be 50% more than 50%!
"Speaking of which, we've already agreed that if you use us as stakes, we'll get a share. I don't want much, just half of it will do. "Sima Youyue said with a smile.
"Half?" Shopkeeper Chou almost jumped when he heard this, "You didn't do anything, how can you get half?"
"Why not?" Sima Youyue said, "You didn't do anything either, right? You only got someone to copy your name, but we contributed the manpower! "
"That won't do!" Shopkeeper Chou rejected decisively, "At most, I'll give you thirty percent."
"Thirty percent …" Sima You Yue placed both hands on the counter and looked straight at Innkeeper Chou, saying, "Do you believe that I can make it so that you won't be able to earn a single cent, and even lose everything?"
Shopkeeper Chou's eyelids twitched. His instincts told him that this person could really do what she said!
"Alright, alright." He waved his hand, saying, "I can give you half, but don't charge me a high price in the future."
After saying this, he was stunned. Why did he say this?
Sima Youyue smiled, saying, "That depends on what kind of work it is! But seeing that Shopkeeper Chou is so straightforward, I'll give you a ten percent discount in the future. "
After saying this, she and Bei Gong Tang prepared to leave. After taking two steps, she turned back and said, "These bets are not accurate. You can trick a few more people to place their bets."
After saying this, the two of them left, leaving the shopkeeper to ponder over her words.
Not a single one of them was accurate?
Could there be other possibilities?
Should he believe her?
Forget it, he should believe her. If he lost, wouldn't she be unable to earn any money?
Thinking of this, he suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "What a loss! I only said that I would give her half of the profits, but I didn't say that if I lost, she would have to pay half as well! "
