Chu Li looked at Third Master Qi, "Third Master Qi, I heard that this restaurant is owned by Prince Cheng."
"Hehe … Who's talking nonsense? This restaurant is mine!" Third Master Qi waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "People nowadays believe whatever they hear. They believe whatever rumors they hear without thinking. Prince Cheng has a noble status. How could he do such a thing?" Third Master Qi waved his hand and said disapprovingly.
Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror to see what he was thinking. This Inn of Fragrance indeed belonged to Prince Cheng. Third Master Qi used to be Prince Cheng's Scribe and now he was released to manage this Inn of Fragrance.
Chu Li said, "Zhu Ziwen's wife used to be a maid and Third Master Qi dared to buy her. Without Prince Cheng's support, most people would not have the guts to do so."
"Liu Xu used to be a maid?" Third Master Qi's expression changed.
Chu Li smiled faintly, "If Liu Xu came back and saw this situation, she would write a letter to the palace or go to the magistrate's office to complain. I wonder what would happen. Third Master Qi's guts are not ordinary."
Third Master Qi's expression changed again.
He could hear the threat in Chu Li's words. If things got out of hand, he would not be able to touch the Inn of Fragrance but the higher-ups would blame him and he would be punished.
Chu Li looked at him and sat down at the table without saying a word.
Third Master Qi's expression was cold as well.
Zhu Ziwen shrunk his neck uncomfortably. The restaurant was warm like spring but he felt cold.
"Bang bang!" Two thuds were heard. Two men in green entered through the window and landed in front of Third Master Qi.
Third Master Qi saw that they were empty-handed and his face turned gloomy, "Where is he?!"
The two men lowered their heads and said dejectedly, "Third Master, that child is dead!"
"Dead?" Third Master Qi clenched his teeth and said, "Did Elder Guo say that?"
"Yes, Elder Guo said that the child did not make it and died. He has already found someone to bury him."
Third Master Qi's face turned pale. He turned to look at Chu Li and then at the banknotes on the table.
If he could get these banknotes, ten thousand taels would be in his pocket.
The Inn of Fragrance had a lot of money. But that money belonged to the Royal Highness and did not belong to him. He would be lucky if he could get ten thousand taels in a year.
This time. A year's worth of profits was gone in an instant. It was simply intolerable!
Chu Li took out the one thousand taels banknote, shook it lightly, and shattered it into pieces. He then took out another ten thousand taels banknote.
"Hold on!" Third Master Qi raised his hand and shouted.
Chu Li said, "Looks like these silvers are not fated to be with Third Master Qi. How about this, I'll be more lenient and bring Old Guo here. I want to see him in person and see who owns the 10,000 taels! "
"What are you waiting for?!" Third Master Qi roared.
The two burly men rushed out of the window in a hurry. Third Master Qi stared at the banknotes with his small eyes.
Chu Li slowly put the banknotes back into his pocket. "Is this Elder Guo a castrator?"
"He's in charge of sending eunuchs to the palace." Third Master Qi's facial expression returned to normal. His squinted eyes flickered with light.
If not for the fact that the fellow in front of him was a Xiantian Realm expert, a level higher than him, it would have been a pity if he had snatched the banknotes in the morning. Even if he called everyone, they might not be able to stop him.
Moreover, if they really fought, even if he could borrow manpower from the Prince's Mansion, Floating Fragrance House would still suffer a huge loss. Their business would become a lot quieter, and all that would be lost would be his own money. When doing business, he should use the hard and soft methods. Money was the most important.
Chu Li turned his head and looked at Zhu Ziwen.
Zhu Ziwen's face showed that he did not care at all. This bastard is finally dead!
Third Master Qi coughed lightly and put on a fake smile. "I've been here for a long time and I still haven't asked for your name, Master."
Chu Li said lightly, "It's better not to say."
"Oh — —?" Third Master Qi smiled. "What's so hard to say?"
"If I tell you my name, I'm afraid I'll have to kill you." Chu Li said lightly.
Third Master Qi laughed. "Master, how could you be friends with Elder Zhu? This kind of man is a waste of food! "
"I know Liu Xu." Chu Li looked at him with a faint smile.
Third Master Qi forced a smile.
He was frightened by Chu Li.
The older one was, the more timid he would be. Chu Li's Innate Mastery Level and his arrogant manner showed that his identity was not ordinary. In addition to his relationship with Liu Xu, it was possible that he was related to the palace.
He would rather endure it. If he was wrong, he would take revenge even more. He could not offend someone he should not offend and lose his life.
The two of them stopped talking. The noise around them became louder.
Chu Li sat still. In his mind, he could clearly see the inside and outside of the Inn of Fragrance. He could also see the place where the banknotes were kept. There were two Grandmasters guarding the place.
— —
"Ah!" A scream was heard. A man in black flew in from the window and sat in front of Chu Li.
The two men landed on the ground and stared at him expressionlessly.
The man in black was an old man with a pale face. He had shifty eyes and his eyes were flickering.
He quickly looked around and straightened his body. He closed fist saluted. "Third Master, if there's anything you need, just let me know. There's no need to make such a big scene right?"
Third Master Qi frowned. "Elder Guo, did the kid you bought three days ago really die?"
"Hehe, that kid was so fair and clean. It's such a pity." Elder Guo shook his head. He showed a pitiful expression. "If he really entered the palace, he might be able to make a name for himself. It's such a pity that he didn't have such a rich life!"
Chu Li said, "Elder Guo, you sold him for a hundred taels, right?"
"What?" Elder Guo was stunned. He quickly said, "What do you mean by a hundred taels? I don't understand! "
Chu Li shook his head. "How much did you spend here? Ten taels? You sold him for a hundred taels. What a good deal. If it were me, I would also say that he died! "
"Elder Guo!" Third Master Qi said coldly.
Elder Guo looked at Chu Li and then looked at Third Master Qi. He felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly said, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you. I sold that kid!"
"Who did you sell him to?"
"I really don't know. Two guys came to buy him for a hundred taels. I'm not stupid. Of course, I sold him."
Third Master Qi gritted his teeth. His gaze became colder and colder.
Chu Li took out two banknotes worth ten thousand taels and put them on the table. "Third Master Qi, if you find the kid, these are all yours! Here's ten thousand taels. Keep it first. I'll give you the other ten thousand taels when you find the kid! "
He said as he passed the ten thousand taels to Third Master Qi.
Third Master Qi took it and gave a thumbs up. "Good! Leave this matter to me! "
He turned his head and stared at them. "You two, and Elder Guo, find those two guys. If you find him, I'll give you a thousand taels each. If you can't find him, don't even think about living!"
"This …" Elder Guo was in a dilemma.
Third Master Qi looked at him coldly. "Why? You can't do it?"
"Alright, alright, I'll try. I'll try." Elder Guo sighed. "Third Master, you're well-informed. I'm sure you can find them!"
"Hmph, it's good that you know!" Third Master Qi scoffed.
He immediately put on a friendly face. "Master, don't worry. As long as they're still in the Fairy's Capital, I'll be able to find them!"
Chu Li nodded and pointed at Zhu Ziwen. "Third Master, please help me send him to hell."
Zhu Ziwen was shocked. He quickly shouted, "What do you mean?! What are you trying to do?! "
Chu Li did not even look at him.
Third Master Qi laughed. "This kind of man should've died long ago. Leave it to me!"
He signaled with his eyes. Two muscular men walked up to Zhu Ziwen and sealed his acupuncture points. They then carried him downstairs.
