C31
In the center of Kaiyuan City, a palace castle welcomed a new owner. He was also the youngest City Lord in all of Kaiyuan City's history, a son of the Lu Family from Danzhou City.
"Grand Elder, I want you to profit from this collaboration. We can say that we are each taking what we need. Let us raise our wine glasses and wish a happy cooperation." A wild sound came from the castle, followed by the clinking of cups.
City lord Lu is truly a dragon among men, little sister Su being able to be worthy of the city lord is her fortune, it has been cultivated for eight lifetimes. Su Zhan actually refused the city lord's proposal without knowing how to appreciate favors, and even spoke loudly in front of the group of elders, saying that the city lord is just a fart, it is all right for you to behave yourself, if you do not behave, the city lord will disappear from the face of the earth ?
"Too much bullying ?"
"Su Zhan, this young master will do whatever you have to say, you are really too shameless. Since you have already given me face, don't blame me for being ruthless, according to the Great Clan Elder's previous discussions, you should immediately contact the Zhang family to suppress the Su Family. This city lord will also investigate a portion of the Su Family's assets, I want to see how long Su Zhan can hold out for."
"Mayor, don't worry. I and my wife will support you. Zhang family is managed by my wife, as long as I say something, it won't be a problem."
That's right, the Great Clan Elder was the Great Clan Elder of the Su Family, and the so called granddaughter-in-law was Zhang Xiner who forced Su Qin to break the engagement with her.
Great Clan Elder Su and the new City Lord had reached an agreement. The new City Lord only wanted Little Sister Su, while the Great Clan Elder wanted the position of Patriarch of the Su Family.
Half a day ago, he was not angry when he saw the Great Clan Elder talking and laughing. Coming out of the Zhang family as the young miss of Zhang family, he did not get angry when he saw the Great Clan Elder sending off Great Clan Elder Su. As he followed behind Great Clan Elder Su, he did not disappoint his expectations of capturing the City Master and Great Clan Elder Su.
"Hmph, if it wasn't for young master's orders, this old man would have long since killed you." If not for the presence of Su Qin, Sky King's City would have been swept up by Zhang Ba. His upright character would not have been accepted by Zhang Ba, and he would only have ended up with one "death" in the end.
"Who ?"
"It's not good to be discovered."
Without getting angry, he stomped on the ground with his left foot and flew away. "You're too careless, I didn't think that a small Kaiyuan City would have such a Spirit master stage."
Lu Liang and Great Clan Elder Su came out together, "Lv Liu, have you caught him yet?"
Although Lu Liangping was a branch young master of the Lu family, his father was a deacon at the Lu family, and a high level spirit king. This time, his father was worried, and had arranged for Lv Liu, who was at the peak of the Spirit master stage, to protect Lu Liangping.
Hearing the name, it was not hard to guess that the name Lv Liu was not normal. He was a Death Soldier that Lu Liangping's father had groomed, so Lv Liu could not be considered a name either.
"Young master, the thieves' martial arts are strong, and their qinggong is outstanding. Six, we were unable to stop them, please punish them." Lv Liu kneeled in front of Lu Liangping.
"Trash."
Although Lu Liangping scolded Lv Liu, he was still relatively calm. He couldn't even stop someone at the peak of the Spirit master stage, and the opponent was at least not inferior to Lv Liu.
"Great Elder Su, you saw it too, today there was a little thief spying on our conversation, I dare not guarantee that the little thief was sent by the Su Family, and would rather believe it than not, our plan is about to come true. I heard that the Su Family has recently opened a new restaurant, you ?." Lu Liangping whispered a few words into Great Elder Su's ear.
"City lord is wise, I'll go handle it immediately." With that, Great Clan Elder Su left the City Lord's Mansion.
Lu Liangping started to talk to Lv Liu: "Lv Liu, gather a group of people and prepare to go to the Su Family restaurant. There will be a murder case that will occur later on, the food poisoning will cause it, you will go and seal the Su Family restaurant, and then seal the Su Family's granary and other businesses, if anyone dares to stop you, you will be killed."
"Yes!"
"A small family with a couple who dares to disobey my Young Master Lu family. Today, I will let you all know who is the real boss in Kaiyuan City. I will take this little sister Su."
"..."
At the Su Clan's restaurant on the Wuan Canal Street.
Although it was only a new restaurant that was opened by the Su Clan for the past half year, because the location was good, because the Su Clan's signboard was well-known, and most importantly because the restaurant was hosted by a master from the Eastern County, every time they arrived at the Su Clan restaurant, it would be packed with people. There were even people lining up outside, and it had long become one of the Su Clan's important sources of income.
The two sneaky men looked left and right, but no one noticed. One of them took out a small bag of white powder from his sleeve and scattered it into a bowl of soup.
"Brother Sheng, this thing can't be life-threatening, right? Although I am very greedy for money, I still have to spend it with my life. "
One of the men felt a sense of retreat.
"What are you saying!?" Don't worry, the owner will give us each five hundred silver taels after the deal is completed. You might not even be able to earn a thousand silver taels in your entire life, so after you finish up here, let's go back to your hometown and buy a few acres of land. Then, we can marry a beautiful wife and live our lives together. "
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Sheng. Wealth comes from danger. I'll go all out."
Actually, the two of them were both hooligans of the Wuan Ankang. Every day, they would cheat and cheat in order to survive. When Great Elder Su found them, he would just say a few words and throw the money, then without any hesitation, he would just do it.
It was possible that they'd never seen such a large amount of five hundred silver in their entire lives.
Unfortunately, none of them could have imagined that the five hundred silver that Great Elder Su had given them was for the sake of buying money.
"Brother Sheng ?" My stomach hurts... "We brothers were cheated ?"
"Pa!"
Within a few seconds, both of them fell to the ground, their eyes white, their faces purple, their bodies stiff.
The commotion attracted the attention of the people eating nearby. Someone suddenly lost control and shouted, "A dead man!"
The Su Clan's customers that were eating in the restaurant all ran out.
When the waiter of the Su Clan's restaurant saw that the matter was blown up, he ran to the back of the restaurant and told the shopkeeper about it.
"Something like that happened. Hurry up and take me to see if the cause of death has anything to do with our restaurant." The head storekeeper of the Su Clan was rather calm and collected. He still hadn't figured out what had happened, so no one dared to say that the deceased was caused by some other disease. Moreover, with the Su Clan's status, even if the deceased was related to the Su Clan's restaurant, they could still settle the matter.
The waiter led the shopkeeper to the dead man and pointed at him while saying a few words.
"This is not a street hooligan son of a bitch or a shrimp. The two of them have enough money to eat in our restaurant." At first glance, Shopkeeper Su recognized the person who had died. The Wai'an Inn wasn't considered big, and he had come in contact with all sorts of people. These two didn't have much ability, but their reputation was not small.
"Shopkeeper, both of them seem to have been poisoned to death. Look at their faces, they are bluish purple, their lips are black, white foam is coming out from their mouths, and their eyes are bloodshot and white; everything points to the signs of poisoning;"
Although he did not know much about medical arts, he still had some knowledge of this. Could it be that someone wanted to mess with the reputation of the Su Clan's restaurant? Who would be so bold as to provoke our Su Clan?
"Men, report this to the Patriarch immediately. Also, report to the City Lord's Mansion that someone died in our Su Clan's restaurant, we can't just sit there and do nothing. Those who don't know anything will think that we poisoned someone!" The reason why he ordered people to report this to the Patriarch was to tell them that someone might be trying to harm the Su Family. This matter needed to be handled by the higher ups in the family, and these deaths were the responsibility of the City Lord's Mansion. It would not be wrong for him to notify the City Lord's Mansion.
Lv Liu who was lying in ambush outside the Su Family Restaurant was waiting for the opportunity. Seeing the Su Family's big restaurant customers panicking and running away, he knew the chance had come.
He waved his hand. "Let's go!"
Lv Liu led his men and quickly surrounded the Su Family restaurant, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I received news that the Su Family restaurant had food poisoning, causing two customers to die on the spot."
