I am Master Maoshan

"It's not possible. These people are definitely the confidants of His Majesty the God King, and they are powerful and influential." Chu Nanchang stopped abruptly, with a firm look in his eyes.

He knew very well what the confidant of His Majesty the God King meant, as he was one of the most honorable figures in the entire God's Realm.

Thinking of this, Chu Nanchang couldn't help but take a breath. He realized that if those passers-by were really the confidants of His Majesty the Divine King, then Li Wancai might really be in big trouble. Even his brother-in-law, who was the city lord, might be implicated.

"If this Li Wancai really offended the confidants of His Majesty the Divine King, then one can imagine what his fate would be." Chu Nanchang muttered to himself.

"Of course, most of our Majesty's subordinates are decisive and have experienced fighting on the battlefield, so once Li Wancai provokes them, his end will be miserable," the attendant added.

At this time, Liu Jun and the other three did not know that they had become the core of the turmoil in the entire Hezhou City.

Now they are like a big piece of fat meat, and a group of hungry wolves have smelled the scent and are staring at them.

Undercurrents were surging in Hezhou City, and various forces were secretly trying to find out the origins of these three people. The "White Tiger Gang" in the east of the city had already sent out spies, the "Black Hand Sect" in the south of the city was also dispatching personnel, and even the "Qingse Society" that had always been aloof from worldly affairs began to stir.

These gangs have close ties with various officials in Hezhou City and are obviously assigned by someone.

"Brother, how many waiters have left the restaurant?" Xu Baoer said as she ate the roast goose, her greasy face full of cunning. She seemed careless, but in fact she had already seen everything going on inside and outside the restaurant.

"I know." Liu Jun said, taking out a few wet wipes and handing them over with a doting look on his face.

He glanced at a few furtive figures outside the window and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This is exactly what he wanted. If no one knew he was a big piece of fat meat, how could he fish? This time he entered Hezhou City with the intention of catching all the corrupt officials in Hezhou City. If the fish didn't take the bait, then why did he put up such a big bait? Was it for fun?

"Dear guests, have you eaten and drunk enough?" Milo asked as he walked into the room, with a professional smile on his face, but his eyes inadvertently swept across the several top-grade spirit stones on the table.

Liu Jun learned some things about Milo from another waiter. This Milo was really not simple. He was not an ordinary waiter, but a role similar to that of a lobby manager. It was said that the largest underground force in Hezhou City was behind him, and he was responsible for collecting intelligence on various business travelers.

"Brother Milo," Liu Jun suddenly said, "I heard that your Haoyue Restaurant has an unwritten rule in the martial arts world. As long as you can afford the price, you can get some news here, no matter it is news from all over the world or secrets that are hidden deep. Is this true?"

Milo's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and his brows frowned, but he returned to normal in an instant, and the corners of his mouth raised a professional smile: "Sir, you are joking. Our Haoyue Restaurant is just an ordinary restaurant in Hezhou City. We welcome and see off guests on weekdays, and we just provide a place for travelers to rest and some simple meals."

Hearing this, Liu Jun shook his head slightly, with a playful smile on his face: "You are so boring. I just want to ask you a few small questions, and I will never embarrass you."

As he spoke, Liu Jun took out a piece of top-grade spiritual stone that emitted a faint fluorescence from his sleeve, gently placed it on the table, and then pushed it forward.

The meaning was obvious. As long as Milo could give him a satisfactory answer, this priceless top-grade spirit stone would be his.

Milo's eyes fell on the top-grade spirit stone. Even an old hand like him couldn't help but be moved by it.

However, he just took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the ripples in his heart, and slowly said: "Dear guest, I, Milo, am naturally moved by your generous gift. But in this Haoyue Restaurant, there are some things you can do and some things you can't do. This is the rule. With my status and strength, even if you generously give it to me, I may not be able to keep this spirit stone, let alone find out those unknown secrets for you."

Liu Jun smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with a bit of depth: "Those so-called unknown secrets you mentioned are not of much interest to a passerby like me, and I don't want to ask too much. What I want to know is just some of the customs and practices of Hezhou City and the various aspects of the world."

Milo smiled when he heard this and said quickly, "Then please feel free to ask any questions you have. You don't need to give me any favors. I will tell you everything I know and do my best to answer your questions."

Liu Jun nodded gently, and turned his gaze to the bustling streets outside the window. After a moment, he retracted his gaze and asked slowly: "As a local boss, you must know a lot about the officialdom in Hezhou City, right?"

Milo's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He was silent for a few seconds, as if he was weighing something. Then, he laughed dryly and said, "I don't know much, just the basics. It's not worth mentioning."

Liu Jun had a playful smile on his face, as if he had expected the other party's reaction. He was not in a hurry, but asked slowly: "Who are the more greedy and evil officials in this officialdom? Have you heard of them?"

Milo's expression became even uglier. He scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Well... you've got me stumped. Officialdom affairs are complicated and intricate, and I can't tell who is right and who is wrong."

Seeing this, Liu Jun couldn't help but burst into laughter, with a hint of sarcasm and relief in his laughter: "Haha, that's fine, since you don't want to say those bad things, then ask from another angle. Which official is more upright and speaks for the people? You should know this, right?"

Milo then breathed a sigh of relief and a smile reappeared on his face: "Speaking of integrity, the city guard officer Chu Nanchang, Lord Chu, is famous for his fairness and selflessness, and is deeply loved by the people." "Chu Nanchang? This name seems familiar." Liu Jun frowned and muttered, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, as if trying to recall something.

He seemed to have seen this name in some inconspicuous corner when he had just arrived at the Palace of the God King, had just assumed power, and was reviewing the mountain of memorials.

But at that time, Chu Nanchang's name was just a quick glance and did not leave a deep impression in his mind.

"Maybe you've heard of it before." Milo stood aside and replied cautiously, with a hint of speculation in his eyes.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as Liu Jun didn't ask about those corrupt officials, anything would be fine.

Because those corrupt officials would really take revenge on him. They were ruthless and would do anything to get what they wanted. Once they found out someone had betrayed them, they would make him suffer a fate worse than death. And Milo was just a waiter in a small restaurant, and he had no power to fight against them.

"Can we talk more specifically about Chu Nanchang?" Liu Jun raised his head and looked at Milo with sharp eyes.

If this Hezhou City is really rotten, then there is no doubt that every one of them should be killed.

But such a big city cannot be left without someone to take care of it. If someone is temporarily transferred here and knows nothing about the place, it may cause trouble. Therefore, it is most appropriate to find a reliable person here.

"Of course, but I don't know much." Milo replied, secretly glad that he knew Chu Nanchang to some extent.

So, he began to tell everything he knew about Chu Nanchang, including Chu Nanchang's background, experience, and the deeds he had done in Hezhou City.

Since Chu Nanchang came to Hezhou City, he has always adhered to the principle of fairness and selflessness, often fighting for the weak and upholding justice for the poor people. He offended the officials of the entire Hezhou City, but won the love and respect of the people.

Milo also tells some trivial things, such as how Chu Nanchang helped a poor family solve their livelihood problems, and how he stood up for the poor man who was wrongly accused and finally cleared his name. Although these things are insignificant, they are enough to show Chu Nanchang's character.

Liu Jun listened attentively. He knew that the fact that Milo knew so much was largely related to the intelligence organization behind him.

But he doesn't care about this. Civilian intelligence organizations are all legal. Cats have their ways, and mice have their ways.

"Okay, I got it, you can go out." Liu Jun waved his hand and said with a faint smile on his face.

"Yes, distinguished guest." Milo bowed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded, "There is a mercenary guild in the south of the city. The mercenaries there are quite strong. You are carrying so many top-grade spirit stones. Do you need to hire some mercenaries to escort you? I can contact them for you."

Hearing this, Liu Jun raised a playful smile, then shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's okay, don't worry. We know what to do."

There was an indescribable confidence in his tone, as if everything was under control.

Milo saw this and said no more. He bowed respectfully and left the house. He knew that the strength of this distinguished guest was unfathomable, but the worry in his heart did not dissipate.

He was naturally aware of the disturbances outside. As the lobby manager of this restaurant, he had long noticed the undercurrents around him. Several gang spies were wandering around the restaurant like ghosts, staring at Liu Jun and the other three with eager eyes.

Milo sighed inwardly. He knew that Liu Jun and the other three had become a hot potato in everyone's eyes. However, his ability was limited. He could only do this step, reminding the distinguished guest and letting them know that they were being targeted because of showing off their wealth. As for the subsequent developments, it was beyond his control.

"Brother Mi, several gang spies are still around our restaurant." A waiter ran over hurriedly and said nervously.

He lowered his voice, fearing that it might be heard by outsiders.

Milo frowned upon hearing this, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He gently patted the waiter on the shoulder and whispered, "Got it, go tell the brothers to cheer up, but don't show it too obviously. We just need to do our part, and the rest depends on the luck of this distinguished guest."

The waiter nodded and left in a hurry. Milo stood there, looking through the window lattice into the distance. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this distinguished guest could survive this crisis safely.

Most importantly, he hoped that Haoyue Restaurant would not be involved, although this possibility was basically wishful thinking. (End of this chapter)
