"Young Master, First Mister, please take a seat." Zhao Ting respectfully made way for them. He bowed slightly and smiled ingratiatingly.
Huang Shaoyu frowned. He wanted to say something but didn't.
Yan Li and Yan Shiyi sat down and said, "Who is in charge of your manor? Why is it that when I came in, I saw a thief who robbed innocent people sitting on this seat? "
Gu Tingwei was startled. Even the Shadowless Divine Marquis was fawning over these two young men. Who were they? One of them had purple hair but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. He smiled and said, "Oh my, Lord Shen Hou has returned to the martial world because of you. You must be of high status, so don't bother with this thief."
"You are the Lord?" Yan Li asked.
"I am Gu Tingwei, the Northern Emissary of Phoenix Hall." Gu Tingwei cupped his fists. "How should I address you, Young Master?"
"Yan Li." Yan Li said.
Gu Tingwei quickly searched through his mind, but did not have the slightest impression. His attitude was no longer as respectful as it had been at the start, smiling as he said, "So it's Young Master Yan. This servant is uncouth. How about letting him go first? This Gu will naturally teach him a harsh lesson later."
"That won't do," Yan Li said, "In broad daylight, he actually dared to rob good people under my nose. This time, not only did I come to take back the new engagement letter, I also want to take him to the government office for questioning. Lord Gu, are you the Lord? "He asked again.
Gu Tingwei fiercely glared at Dao Ba, and then said with a smile: "This, this, what are you talking about? It seems that the servant's actions were rude, causing young master to misunderstand. He was ordered by the Lord to bring the servant back for questioning. He had no intention of harming him. "
"If you are not the Lord, why are you talking so much?" Yan Li said coldly.
Gu Tingwei frowned and said, "Young Master, I'm only being polite to you because of the Deity Overlord. If Young Sir wishes to stir up trouble, then the masters of my Phoenix Hall are not just for show. "
Huang Shaoyu shouted, "You are just a lowly servant, what are you doing here? Go and call your Lord out!"
Gu Tingwei's expression darkened and he said coldly, "Although the manor is not under my name, I can still make decisions. If you want to take that little servant away, then take him away. But if you dare to touch the servants of the manor, then you are not giving face to the Hall of Phoenix. You might even offend them! "
Li Xiang Jun smiled mysteriously: "Master Gu does not dare to send him to see the officials, is he worried about exposing something?"
"I am a righteous person, there is nothing to hide!" Gu Tingwei heard the voice and looked at Li Xiang Jun who was beside Yan Li. His heart moved: What a beautiful woman.
"Really?" Li Xiang Jun sneered. "Why did I hear that this manor has been taken away and is now occupied by a group of bandits? Could it be that you, the Northern Envoy of the Hall of Phoenix, have colluded with bandits?"
Gu Tingwei's expression changed and he said coldly: "Gossip is a fearful thing. The people outside are jealous of the manor's profits and are stirring up trouble there. Alright, you guys have already taken your seats. That manservant is just outside. Quickly take him away. "
"I also heard that this manor is owned by the head disciple of the Lotus Seat," Li Xiang Jun pressed. "You say you are Gu Tingwei, that head disciple does have such an uncle. Could it be that Master Gu is temporarily managing the manor on behalf of his niece?"
"Yes." Gu Tingwei's expression did not change.
Li Xiang Jun sneered inwardly and pretended to be surprised: "Aiya, that doesn't match. The head disciple told me that Southern Field Manor is managed by a sister with the surname Luo. Her name is Luo Shuang He, and it is said that she is the personal female envoy of the Hall of Phoenix Hall. Why does Master Gu say that it is managed by you? "
No matter how stupid Gu Tingwei was, he finally knew that the other party did not really come to ask for the little servant. They did not come with good intentions.
He gritted his teeth and calculated, and his expression became very hateful. "Hmph, I say, what Swallow Dock, what little servant, you are all sent by that bastard. What, you don't dare to come, so you send you to cause trouble? That bastard, how dare you do such a thing behind my back. I will teach her a lesson when I get back! "
"Swallow Dock!" Knife Scar, who was tied to the side, suddenly woke up and said, "I remember, it is Yanshan Robber. Yanshan Robber robbed two roads in Jiangbei and changed his name to Swallow Dock. You are Yan Shifang, then this is Yan, Yan Shiyi …" A moment ago, he was a brave man who was not afraid of the heavens or the earth, but suddenly he bent like a shrimp and trembled there.
"So you are … that robber!" Gu Tingwei was shocked and angry, but then he calmed down. "So what if it is Swallow Dock, my Hall of Phoenix is not afraid of you. No matter what, this manor belongs to the Gu family. Whatever happens has nothing to do with you. Please leave immediately! "
Li Xiang Jun smiled and said, "That won't do. My young master has taken a fancy to the Southern Field Manor and is preparing to buy it. He has also talked to the chief disciple and was not rejected. I came to take a look at this manor, but I didn't expect that along the way, there was a foul atmosphere, as if there were evil spirits causing trouble. Outside, it is said that Master Gu colluded with bandits to seize his niece's manor. Now it seems that it is true. "
"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Tingwei angrily pointed at Li Xiang Jun and said, "Where did this lowly servant come from? How dare you speak nonsense in the Southern Field Manor. I think you don't want to live anymore. Someone, come quickly, chase them out for me! "
Zhao Ting somehow appeared in front of Gu Tingwei and raised his hand to slap him. "Madam, you dare to scold me!"
This slap directly sent Gu Tingwei flying to the door frame, knocking out several of his front teeth. He cried out, "Hey, hey." Coincidentally, he collided with the bandits who rushed in. Half of his face was swollen high, causing his pair of puffy eyes to bulge even more. It was comical and ugly.
Zhao Ting walked over and picked him up, then walked back and threw him in front of Yan Li. He said, "Young master, what should we do with him?"
Yan Li said with a smile that was not a smile, "What do you think?"
Zhao Ting hurriedly said with a flattering smile, "Is there anything wrong with what this subordinate did?"
"I want to hear your opinion." Yan Li said.
Zhao Ting thought for a moment and said, "Young master, this person is of the direct bloodline of the Phoenix Hall. After all, he is related to Hall Master Gu by blood. If we kill him, it will be difficult to explain. There is no harm in letting him live."
"Yan Shiyi, what do you think?" Yan Li suddenly turned to Yan Shiyi.
Yan Shiyi said, "There is no need to be so careful."
"First Mister is right." Zhao Ting's face revealed a ruthless expression. He had made up his mind to rely on Swallow Fort. He planned to kill Gu Tingwei to prove his loyalty.
"First Mister is talking about you, Mister Zhao." Li Xiang Jun reminded him.
"Ah?" Zhao Ting was startled. He was a smart and alert person, but he did not react.
Li Xiang Jun smiled and said, "When working under Young Master, as long as you do it well and beautifully, everything else is secondary.
Mister Zhao, there is no need to be so careful. You are tired, Young Master is tired. Everyone gets along comfortably, isn't that good? "
"That is naturally good." Zhao Ting smiled and said, "But this subordinate's personality has always been like this. I'm afraid I can't change it in a short time."
"Unless you kill me, don't even think about taking Southern Field Estate from my hands!" Gu Tingwei shouted angrily.
"In your hands?" Li Xiang Jun did not have a good expression on her face. "So this Southern Field Estate was really robbed by you in cahoots with bandits. Don't you know shame?"
Gu Tingwei said angrily, "I'm managing it for someone else. What does it have to do with you!"
"Who are you managing it for? That You Qi? "Li Xiang Jun was rarely aggressive." Look at you, now that you are in trouble, where is she? "
Gu Tingwei absentmindedly called out: "You Ji, that's right, the manor belongs to You Ji, you don't have the right to buy it. Swallow's Dock has just turned to doing legitimate business, you can't rob it in broad daylight … Where's You Ji, quickly, quickly call Madame over!"
"Boss, that You Qi has already run away."
Huang Shaoyu came out of nowhere and glanced at Zhao Ting proudly, thinking how could he let him be the first in everything. He cupped his fists at Yan Li and said, "I didn't see anyone when I went over. I caught a servant girl and asked her. She said that she had already run away with her belongings. I came back to ask boss if we should catch her back?"
Yan Li said, "Catch what? It'll save us trouble if she runs away. Since you're so enthusiastic, go with Zhao Ting to the yamen again and catch all the Golden Hook Bandits for interrogation. Find out who ordered them. "
"Isn't this very …" Huang Shaoyu was halfway through his words when he suddenly saw Gu Tingwei's ashen face. He instantly understood and laughed, "Alright. Brother Zhao, let's go. "
"I'll follow Commander Huang's lead." Zhao Ting said sneakily.
"Wait!" Gu Tingwei turned over and sat up, gritting his teeth, "I'll sell it. I'll sell Southern Field Estate. How much are you willing to pay? I'm sure you've heard about the income of this estate. Give me a suitable price and I'll sell it!"
Yan Li couldn't help but laugh. "What a straightforward person. I like this estate very much. I'll buy it for ten taels."
"This is robbery!" Gu Tingwei said angrily.
"Robbery?" Yan Li's smile gradually lost its warmth. "You're taking this estate and you're giving them a single coin? As her uncle, she lost her mother at a young age. You don't even think about loving her, but you even want to take away the only thing her mother left for her. Are you even human? "
"You!" Gu Tingwei pointed at Yan Li and roared, "What do you know? That bastard killed my sister and shouldn't even be alive in this world. You stupid thing, you were tempted by her beauty and committed such a daring act. Let me tell you, Phoenix Hall won't let you go. I'll have my grandmother bring people to destroy Swallow Dock! "
Yan Li suddenly stood up. He grabbed Gu Tingwei's finger and broke it. As Gu Tingwei screamed like a pig being slaughtered, Yan Li expressionlessly said, "It's because she has an uncle like you that she's always unhappy. But I won't kill you. I'm just waiting for the day she figures it out and no longer tolerates you so-called relatives. Then she'll have the means to deal with you. If she makes up her mind, your fate will be a hundred times more miserable than mine. Now, take the Golden Hook Bandits and get out of here. If I ever see you in Southern Field Estate again in the future, I'll chop you into mincemeat! "
