Chapter 1939: Disaster Begins with Xiao Qiang
Liu Balang rushed into the teahouse with seven guards. Beside him was Sun Qing holding a knife. He glanced at the tea drinkers, and they all stood up and retreated quietly.
"Where's Liu Jiulang? Tell him to come out and see me!"
Seeing this, the thugs in the teahouse all wanted to step forward.
Sun Qing stepped forward, staring fiercely. He was tall and burly, with a scar on his left cheek extending from the corner of his eye to his jaw, making him look very ferocious.
This scar was given to him by Beibei on purpose.
The Tea Master came downstairs, suppressed his anger, and forced a smile, bowing and saying, "Eighth Master, you've arrived just in time. I'm in the backyard taking inventory of the newly arrived Longjing tea. Would you like a pot?"
Liu Balang kicked over the eight-immortal table next to him, smashing the celadon teacup to pieces. "I've tried all kinds of good teas. Why do I need your Longjing tea? Where is Liu Jiulang? Get out here right now!"
When Liu Jiulang rushed to the teahouse, he saw a lot of people gathered at the door to watch the fun.
Liu Balang's men were confronting his thugs and his guys. Both sides had their hands on the hilts of their knives, staring at each other fiercely. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Dr. Tea was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. When he saw Liu Jiulang coming, he immediately stepped forward.
"Boss, the tea merchant is upstairs. I was just about to have a proper discussion with them when Balang and his men rushed in. I'm afraid..."
Liu Jiulang waved his hand and asked Dr. Tea to step aside.
Looking at Liu Balang, a sneer appeared on his lips under the mask: "Brother Ba, what are you going to do?"
Liu Balang sneered, "You're still asking me what I want to do? You even dare to snatch the business I'm interested in?"
Liu Jiulang's smile remained unchanged, but his tone grew colder. "Eighth Brother, we are brothers. We all run the Liu family's business. If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me privately and we can discuss and resolve it. Why are you making such a fuss? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
Liu Balang stared at him sharply: "Are you still afraid of being laughed at by outsiders? Do you still have any shame?"
Liu Jiulang stared back at him without showing any weakness: "Last time you came to the teahouse to cause trouble, I didn't bother with you. But you're here again this time. Who is it that wants to disrespect the Liu family?"
Their eyes met in the air, sparks flying. The air around them seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, not daring to breathe.
A conflict is on the verge of breaking out.
On the second floor, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe leaned against the window, gently shaking their teacups.
Huo Changhe stared at the situation downstairs, and a hidden weapon quietly slipped into his palm.
"Add fuel to their flames," Yan Ruyu put down her teacup, her voice as clear as ice, "and let them completely break up."
Huo Changhe nodded: "It's not difficult."
All great disasters will arise from within Xiao Qiang.
Because the brothers could not work together, Yan Ruyu could find a loophole and seize the opportunity.
At this time, Sun Qing had overturned three tables. A tea drinker was unable to dodge and was tripped by the table legs, which immediately caused Liu Balang to burst into laughter.
"Step aside!"
An angry shout came from the door, and seven or eight teahouse waiters rushed in holding carrying poles and wooden sticks.
The young man in the lead was called Awu, and he was Liu Jiulang's confidant who was placed in the teahouse.
At this moment, he was also furious: "Eighth Master, you and our Dong family are originally one family, why are you doing this?"
"Are you qualified to ask me that?" Liu Balang sneered and winked at Sun Qing.
Sun Qing pounced forward like a tiger descending from the mountain, and his palm, as big as a palm fan, went straight for Awu's face.
Although Ah Wu had some kung fu skills, he was no match for Sun Qing, who had been wandering around the world for many years. After three moves, he was kicked in the chest and flew backwards, knocking over the antique shelf and shattering the fine purple clay teapot to the ground.
"Hit them!" Liu Balang shouted, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fight. Tables and chairs flew across the teahouse, screams and curses rang out, and the tea drinkers were already frightened and fled.
Yan Ruyu raised an eyebrow at Huo Changhe: "Your Highness, it's time to take action."
Huo Changhe smiled lightly, and his sleeves moved slightly. A three-inch long bone-piercing nail was shot out with a sound of breaking through the air, and the target was Liu Balang who had his back to him.
"careful!"
Sun Qing's eyes and hands were quick. When he caught sight of the cold light, he had no time to think before he suddenly pulled Liu Balang aside. The bone-piercing nail flew past Liu Balang's brocade robe and deeply nailed into the beam, the end still humming.
"Who?!" Liu Balang broke out in a cold sweat. He turned around and glanced at the guys holding wooden sticks. He was immediately furious. "How dare you, Liu Jiulang, order someone to do something dirty!"
Sun Qing covered his nail-bitten forearm, blood oozing from between his fingers. "Eighth Master, it must have been these bastards who did it!"
"Burn it down! Burn this broken building down!" Liu Balang completely lost his mind.
He took out a tinder and threw it over, and the fire was about to start.
Zhou Lie soared into the air, swept past like a gust of wind, and the palm wind swept away the sparks.
Seeing this, Liu Balang was furious: "Liu Jiulang, you had people rob my merchants and sent assassins to kill me time and time again, poisoning and stabbing me. How dare you talk to me about the reputation of the Liu family!"
Liu Jiulang frowned: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"you……"
Liu Jiulang ignored him, his eyes fell on the bone-piercing nail, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Liu Jiulang said calmly, "Although my teahouse staff fought with your men, no one would use such a hidden weapon."
"Evidence? It just so happened that I was poisoned. I was the one who assassinated people inside and outside the mansion. Who else could it be if not your man?" Liu Balang pressed on step by step.
Yan Ruyu put down the teacup and looked at Zhou Lie beside Liu Jiulang.
Yin Ding's words rang in his ears: "This man's name is Zhou Lie, he is Liu Jiulang's confidant, and he is quite skilled. This time, he is the one who is in charge of recruiting people from the Jianghu."
Yan Ruyu pinched her throat and raised her voice, her tone filled with just the right amount of panic:
"Zhou Lie, it was Zhou Lie who killed Liu Da!"
Liu Balang was stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed suddenly.
Liu Da still hasn't been found, and he is full of doubts. He also vaguely feels that something has happened, but he didn't expect that he was killed by Zhou Lie.
Then he thought again, this is not impossible. Liu Balang even dared to kill him, let alone Liu Da?
Liu Balang pointed at Zhou Lie angrily: "Is it you?"
Zhou Lie was also a little confused. He never expected that someone would expose this matter in public.
When he killed Liu Da... he was indeed discovered, but no one saw his face, he was very sure of this.
How could someone call him by his name so directly?
Liu Balang looked at Sun Qing and ordered angrily, "Catch him!"
Sun Qing immediately rushed out and fought with Zhou Lie.
Now everything is in chaos.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and smiled.
"Your Majesty, we should leave."
Liu Balang's mansion is empty now, so it's a good time to go in and investigate.
No one in the teahouse noticed them, and this time they didn't take any passage, but left directly through the back window.
They were already very familiar with the Liu Mansion, and with the floor plan in hand, it was not difficult to find the place where the valuables were hidden.
