It was just after noon.

Tea house.

Sun Youren frowned slightly. With his left hand holding the teapot, his right hand used the tea cap to move the tea leaves in the bowl layer by layer to the side. His mouth was lightly sucking on the fragrant tea, carefully tasting the fragrance of the tea.

"Brother Zhu, can't you sit down and drink some tea?" Sun Youren finally felt that it was time to persuade him.

"Can you drink it?" Zhu Ergou rolled his eyes at Sun Youren, "I don't have that kind of mind!"

"Brother Zhu, that Li Chunfu is indeed difficult to deal with. If you were to act recklessly, I'm afraid you would be helpless!" Sun Youren sighed.

"Who said I was being reckless?" Zhu Ergou finally stopped, "You beat me into the Fulfillment Hall, I really haven't met anyone I can't deal with!"

"But that Li Chunfu isn't human, he's intelligent!" Sun Youren said with a stern expression.

"Even humans change!" Zhu Ergou rubbed his chin, "Let me ask you, does this guy not have any weaknesses?"

"I do, but none of them will be of use!" Sun Youren smiled bitterly, "For example, he is a lustful man, but he would never spend more than 10 taels of silver for a woman. For example, he likes to gamble, but he would never lose more than 3 taels of silver."

"Enough! Can you provide anything useful? " Zhu Ergou asked impatiently.

Sun Youren rolled his eyes as he thought for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "He has a little son. He's always regarded as the apple of his eye. I wonder if he can be used?"

After hearing it, Zhu Ergou pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "It's useless! He was not too old, and he had more than one son. It would be a bad idea to use kidnapping his youngest son to defeat him! "Moreover, if something goes wrong and our Ru Yi Hall's reputation is damaged, then we'll be in for a mess!"

"Why don't we just kidnap him and force his family to take the silver as redemption? After all, he often uses only 20,000 taels of silver to move around. As long as we mess up the flow of money, it will be much easier to deal with him!" Sun Youren suggested.

When Zhu Ergou heard this, he could not help but be enlightened. As if he had seen hope within the chaos, he asked in shock, "What did you say? How much do you think he has in liquidity? "

"20,000 taels!" Sun Youren was overjoyed, "What? You also agree with this method?"

"Bullshit!" Zhu Ergou rolled his eyes at Sun Youren, "This method is simply not worth it, because if we can use this method to kill Li Chunfu, it will be a once in a lifetime thing. But if we do this, if news of this gets out, where will we hide our honor?"

"Then what should we do?" Sun Youren asked with a distressed expression.

"Hahaha!" Zhu Ergou laughed coldly, "Just now, I already thought of a way to deal with him!"

"Oh? "Is that so?" Sun Youren was surprised, "Can you explain it clearly?"

Zhu Ergou smiled and said, "Brother Sun, you don't need to care about this matter. Just wait and take over Li Chunfu!"

"Brother Zhu, are you confident?" Sun Youren asked in shock.

"Of course!" Zhu Ergou smiled mysteriously, "This time, you should learn well!"

"Then what do I need to do?" Sun Youren said happily.

"Drink your tea!" Zhu Ergou raised his head and laughed, then quickly walked out of the teahouse.

Sun Youren looked at him proudly. He couldn't help but place the teacup in his hand on the table and curse, "Damn! Everyone in the Earth Words Sect is the same!" After holding it in for an hour, he managed to squeeze out two words. "Tea!"

After Zhu Ergou left the teahouse, he headed south of the city. Along the way, he passed by a clothing shop opened by his family and picked a decent piece of clothing. After that, he happily left.

Later, he kept walking along the road and finally found Li Chunfu's Qiongqi antique shop in the most prosperous area of Yangzhou.

From time to time, he would peek in and see that the interior of the antique shop was decorated in an extremely simple manner. The house was also quite large, filled with many rare antiques from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, as well as all kinds of luxury goods. He secretly calculated in his mind that the items inside were worth at least two hundred thousand silver taels, not to mention many objects that had not been laid out yet!

After Zhu Ergou found out about the situation, he immediately got up and left. He made his way back to Ming Yang Inn as fast as he could.

After returning to his room, he immediately went to find Fatty Liu. First, he tossed the blue satin robe he had chosen to Fatty Liu and had him wear it on the spot, while he turned it around at the head of his bed. Only then did he find the sapphire blue satin worker's hat with a lot of gemstones embedded in it.

As Fatty Liu was putting on his clothes, he excitedly asked: Second Brother Zhu, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly think of dressing up as a brother? "

"Cut the crap. This time, us brothers will make a huge deal!" Zhu Ergou laughed.

"How big is it?" Fatty Liu asked.

"Push down Li Chunfu!" Zhu Ergou said seriously.

"Huh?" Fatty Liu was slightly surprised, "Who is Li Chunfu? "How heavy is he? Does he need us brothers to push him away?"

"It's not that Li Chunfu is heavy, it's that he is rich. In order to absorb him, we need to expand the treasury of our Ru Yi Hall. This time, we brothers have to give him a beating!" Zhu Ergou said.

"I understand!" That's cheating, isn't it? " Fatty Liu said with a silly smile.

"You're right, we're going to screw over him. Who else are we going to fill in the hole for?" Zhu Ergou laughed complacently, and circled around Fatty Liu, observing him closely. He could not help but clap his hands, "Amazing! I never thought that when you dressed up, you would really look like someone who isn't part of your own clan! "

"What is it? Is Second Brother Zhu trying to get me to act as an outsider? " Fatty Liu asked in surprise.

"That's right!" "Your current identity is from Shandong, from Zhu Jiufu. You only have one hobby, and that is to collect all the rare antiques and antiques in the world. The only characteristic of you is to be rich and overbearing!" Zhu Ergou said seriously.

"Then how big is the money?" Fatty Liu asked.

"It's thicker than the sea. Is it enough?" Zhu Ergou asked.

When Fatty Liu heard this, he was stunned for a moment before a smile broke out on his face. He said: "That's enough, but I still feel guilty!"

"Don't worry, I'll give you the rest of the money when the time comes!" Zhu Ergou glanced at the door, "That's enough, I think Second Brother Liu will be back soon!"

Sure enough, as his words fell, he heard heavy footsteps coming from outside. When he looked outside, he saw that the door had been pushed open a little!

When the door opened, he saw Old Liu and Old Second smiling with their hands covering their chests as they rushed in, saying: "Second Brother Zhu, it's done!"

When Zhu Ergou heard this, he could not help but glare at him angrily, "Close the door!"

Second Elder Liu was stunned for a moment before realizing he had been negligent. He immediately closed the door and took out a stack of banknotes from his chest, smiling to himself as he said, "My mother!" Sect Leader Zeng really trusts us brothers! I only told him what you said, and he already ordered people to hand me so many silver notes. To be honest, it's the first time in my life that I've seen so many silver notes! "

"Is it a hundred thousand taels?" Zhu Ergou asked with a frown.

"No no no no no, it's exactly a hundred thousand!" Old Liu laughed.

"You're such a noob!" Zhu Ergou glared at Second Elder Liu, "Didn't we agree that just one would be enough? Why are we dividing up so many parts? "

"Sect Leader Ceng ordered, he said that it is not very plausible to exchange the silver for a single banknote. On the contrary, it is easier to believe if we split it into multiple banknotes!" Old Liu said.

"But the person we sent was Zhu Jiufu, isn't it just a joke to let him carry so much money with him?" Zhu Ergou laughed bitterly.

"The Sect Leader has said that if Second Brother Zhu is not satisfied, you can go and find him at any time to change another large one!" Old Liu laughed.

"No need!" Zhu Ergou smiled faintly, "If I want to find him, I'll definitely be scolded!"

"Second Brother Zhu, what are you suddenly planning on doing with so much money?" Old Liu asked.

When Zhu Ergou heard this, he could not help but laugh, "Don't ask too many questions about this matter. Otherwise, it would be hard to guarantee that your head will grow back!"

Hearing this, Second Elder Liu sucked in a breath of cold air before pulling his neck back and walking to the door. He forced out a smile, "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave!"

After sending off the second brother, Zhu Ergou smiled and looked at Fatty Liu, saying, "All the money on the table is yours, now you have some confidence, right?"

When Fatty Liu heard this, he did not feel any excitement. Instead, a trace of cold sweat dripped down his forehead as he tried to ask quietly, "Second Brother Zhu, this matter is so confidential. What if I fail? My life …"

"Don't worry!" When did your Second Brother Zhu treat you unfairly? " Zhu Ergou smiled faintly, "This matter has been settled. With your fortune, if it were to be ruined, I, Zhu Ergou, would definitely not stand idly by the side and watch!"

"Second brother Zhu, is this true?" Fatty Liu said in disbelief.

"What? You don't believe me?" Zhu Ergou's face instantly turned cold.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I feel like I'm being clumsy with my words. If I screw this up, I'm afraid I might let down Second Brother Zhu's hopes!" Fatty Liu said with a bitter face.

"Don't think too much into it. I've already made a good plan for you. Just do as I say. There will be no mishaps!" Zhu Ergou smiled confidently, waved to Fatty Liu, and said: "Come over here with your ears!"

After all, he was the eldest brother, and only death awaited those who did not listen to him. Thus, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go over to hear the plan from Zhu Ergou. After listening to his plan, he asked in a shocked voice, "Second Brother Zhu, it's better if you kill me!"

"What? You want to beat a hasty retreat?" Zhu Ergou asked harshly.

Fatty Liu's legs could not help but tremble, his face was as pale as paper as he said: "Second Brother Zhu, this is no small matter. If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't be able to hang around with you anymore, you should hire another master!"

"Bastard!" I chose you because I thought highly of you. If you still do not know what's good for you, I'll kill you with a single slash right now! " Zhu Ergou bellowed.

"Please spare my life, second brother!" Fatty Liu immediately kneeled down in front of Zhu Ergou, "I beg of you …"

"Stop!" Zhu Er Gou was so angry that he waved his hands, "Let me tell you, if you don't go, not only will you lose your life, even your two brothers won't be able to survive. You better think carefully!"

Cold sweat trickled down Fatty Liu's forehead. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, steeled his heart, and said: "Okay! Then I'll take a gamble! "But Second Brother Zhu, what if …"

"Don't worry!" "There's no chance!" Zhu Ergou said resolutely.

When Fatty Liu heard this, he put away all the banknotes helplessly. He staggered to the back of the door and looked at Zhu Ergou unwillingly, saying, "Second Brother Zhu, I'm leaving now. You must protect me secretly!"

"Don't worry!" Don't you know your second brother Zhu's character? "Hurry up and go!" Zhu Ergou said impatiently.

"Second Brother Zhu, then I'll go now?" Fatty Liu asked, feeling reluctant to part with him.

"Get lost!" Zhu Ergou was so angry that his eyebrows almost jumped out of their sockets. Fatty Liu trembled in fear, hurriedly opened the door, and ran away like a wisp of smoke.

Seeing his sorry state, Zhu Ergou could not help but smile bitterly, and said: "I hope you can do it. If you can't, then I will die with you!"

He spoke with such indifference that the person at the window let out a long sigh. This frightened him so much that he hurriedly looked over and saw Zeng Kuan leaning on the window while staring at him. He asked: "I thought you were the one who left, but who would have thought that it was actually such a fool!"

"Sovereign, rest assured, only he can accomplish this task!" Zhu Ergou said confidently.

"I think he can sacrifice himself!" Zeng Di gave a bitter smile, "Zhu Ergou, I hope your luck is better than his!"

These two simple sentences immediately caused Zhu Ergou's heart to tremble. He could not help but say with a frightened face, "Don't worry Sovereign, this will not be a surprise!"

When Zeng Di heard this, he couldn't help but sigh as he gently closed the window for him.

As the window was closed, Zhu Er Gou's heart tensed up as well. He paced back and forth in the room, finally out of worry and quickly chased out of the room. He thought that if he walked faster, he would have the chance to catch up to Fatty Liu.

However, even after he had chased Fatty Liu out of the famed inn, he still couldn't find him. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Damn it, isn't this big of a deal?"

At this time, a hand lightly patted his shoulder, causing him to be frightened. He quickly turned his head to see a cold and resentful face, especially the hatred that shot out from that person's eyes. He unnaturally shivered, and cried out involuntarily: "Why are you slapping me?"
