Rebirth: How to tease the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 19

Exposed

After leaving Duan's house, Mu Changfeng did not return to Qianjue Peak, but went to Yanzhou.

Firstly, he came to Yanzhou to avoid people's eyes and ears, and secondly, because the shadow guard brought back news about Li Qing.

Now, Li Qing is the only pawn that can make him turn against the army, so such news must not be missed.

Yanzhou deserves to be called a commercial city. When you enter the city gate, the road is full of peddlers. The whole city is divided into two parts: the east city and the west city.

Mu Changfeng walked all the way from East City to West City, and found that there were at least thirty Qianjuejiao shops in Yanzhou.Food, clothing, jewelry, and pawnshops are the most profitable businesses, and there is even a brothel. In addition to thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of acres of orchards outside Yanzhou, how could the output of the entire Yanzhou business be so low.

The streets of Yanzhou are very clean, and everyone has a happy smile on their faces.This is the most affluent place in Dajing. Whether it is doing business or growing grain, you can get a life of adequate food and clothing.For many people, this is a town they yearn for more than the capital.

After entering a restaurant named Mingyuelou and giving the shopkeeper a jade pendant, Mu Changfeng was invited into the private room on the top floor.

The owner of Mingyuelou is a man in his thirties. His family came to Yanzhou to find a job because of the locust plague.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the city, he saw Mingyue Tower recruiting a cook, so he immediately decided to give it a try.Unexpectedly, his craftsmanship was greatly appreciated by the chef, and he was immediately hired as the chef's assistant.

The reputation of Mingyuelou became more and more famous, and there were branches all over Dajing. The original boss went to the capital to operate, and the chef also went to the more prosperous Jiangnan. He became the owner of Mingyuelou in Yanzhou.

Qianjuejiao stores all over the country are often established under the name of the sub-forum owner, so this boss only knows that the big boss behind him is Li Qing, but in his eyes, Li Qing is just a rich man However, the real identity has never been known.

But the bosses of each branch knew that the owner of the jade pendant engraved with "Heaven and Earth Live Together" was the person they couldn't mess with the most.

Mu Changfeng asked the boss to take out the account book, and carefully looked through the pages. The hatred in his heart became more and more intense. He clenched his fingers tightly, and the corner of the account book was deeply wrinkled.

Seeing Mu Changfeng's solemn expression, the boss couldn't help but sweat in his hands. According to the people above, this guy has a great temper, and he often separates people's corpses.

"My lord, what's wrong?" the little boss asked tremblingly.

Mu Changfeng immediately realized that his expression might have frightened this person, so he slightly raised the corners of his lips and said, "No problem, you don't have to be afraid, I won't kill people lightly."

The little boss was slightly relieved, and immediately said: "It's fine, it's fine..." After saying that, he went to feed Mu Changfeng.

As early as when he entered the city, Mu Changfeng heard someone explain that the food in Yuelou was excellent, and more than 20 restaurants chose this one to taste the signature dishes here, so he asked the boss to prepare it himself, and ordered the shadow guard Bring Li Qing here.

When Li Qing heard that Mu Changfeng himself was here, he rushed over without even having time to change his clothes. He was afraid that this master would get angry and torture him again, so he really couldn't take it anymore.

"Master Li Tan is doing well recently."

As soon as Li Qing entered the door, he saw a handsome young man in white sitting on an exquisite tea chair, with his left hand resting on his chin, looking at him with a smile on his face, his voice was clear, and he just asked him some legs soft.

"Being cared for by the leader, everything is fine." Li Qing suppressed the fear in his heart and tried to calm down his voice.

"Well, that's good," Mu Changfeng pointed to the seat opposite: "President Li Tan sits, and always stands up for others to see, but I have a bad reputation for treating my subordinates harshly. "

How could Li Qing dare to disobey, put away his clothes and immediately sat opposite Mu Changfeng, and said with an apologetic smile: "The leader is kind, who dares to say that the leader treats him harshly."

What he said was extremely against his will. If Mu Changfeng was kind, how would he explain the tens of thousands of corpses in the back garden of Qianjuejiao, and how would he explain the people in the martial arts world who were massacred by him back then.

Mu Changfeng didn't take it seriously, instead he smiled and said, "The boss showed me the account book of Mingyue Tower just now."

Li Qing's heart skipped a beat, the corners of his lips twitched twice, his voice trembling: "Master..."

"You don't have to be afraid," Mu Changfeng waved his hand: "There is no problem, but the high profit is beyond my imagination."

Li Qing nodded and smiled apologetically, "Mingyuelou is famous for its food in Yanzhou. All the guests love to sit in Mingyuelou. There are also many people from other prefectures and counties, so Mingyuelou's profit is very high. .”

Mu Changfeng took the account book and patted it in his hand: "In just one month, such a small restaurant made a net profit of 1000 taels of silver. Including other shops, and the fields and fruit forests outside the city, this Yanzhou How can you believe me if you can’t earn 80 or 10 taels in addition to the wages for the tenants of the store? But as far as I know, you only reported [-] taels last year and the year before the year before! I thought you could give Su Lang at most. Half, now it seems that you gave him nearly nine-tenths of the profit!"

Seeing that Mu Changfeng was angry, Li Qing quickly knelt on the ground, and said, spare me, spare me!On the one hand, I regretted not making false accounts in advance.

"I ask you, do you know where the money is?"

Li Qing immediately said: "The subordinates exchanged the money into bank notes and handed them over to Su Lang. As for where they went, the subordinates don't know."

Mu Changfeng also knew what Li Qing said was true, so he didn't make things difficult for him anymore, but he didn't ask him to get up, and let him kneel there motionless.Li Qing's meridians were cut off by him, and his martial arts were abolished. Although he later invited a doctor to renew his meridians, his internal martial arts strength could never be recovered, so he only knelt down for a stick of incense, and his forehead was already sweating profusely.

Mu Changfeng smiled slightly and didn't speak. He sat alone at the tea table sipping tea and watching the scenery. It took half an hour like this, until Li Qing fell down several times and knelt up before calling him up.

"The news you said before, now tell me in detail."

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "This subordinate knows that Su Lang is locked in the dungeon, but he still has wings outside the teaching, this time he is the one who brought the news to this subordinate."

"who is it?"

"I don't know, but Fei Ge sent a letter, which said, 'Mu Changfeng stayed in Chang'an under the pseudonym Bai Yu'." Li Qing lowered his head and said, and looked up at Mu Changfeng's face after speaking. .

Mu Changfeng frowned slightly when he heard this, the only people who knew about this matter were Lin Jinghong and Gu Ying.
