After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

When Shopkeeper Qiu walked in slowly with anxiety and worry, he was still thinking about how he would get out if he really offended the Lord of the City unintentionally.

Thinking about it, he always felt that this time he came here, there was a high probability that he would not be able to escape disaster. How could he, a small businessman, compete with the Lord of the City?He could only pray secretly that the city lord called him here specifically for other important matters and not to ask questions.

He followed the guard with worry. As soon as he walked in, he glanced sideways unintentionally, and by chance, he met Ruan He's calm eyes.

Seeing Miss Ruan standing calmly and calmly, Shopkeeper Qiu's heart skipped a beat. He vaguely understood something, but he also showed a look of astonishment in disbelief.

What made him even more panicked was that there was a person with tied hands and feet next to Miss Ruan. It was the errand boy Liu Zi who he hired Qianqian to send to follow Ruan He.

Now Xiao Liuzi was tied to the spot with a rope in panic, and he looked at each other hastily, with complaints and annoyance in his eyes, clearly blaming Shopkeeper Qiu with his eyes.

How could this little Liuzi be so unlucky? He collected money and came to follow Ruan He. Unexpectedly, he didn't see anything. He was caught right away and tied up in the yard all night in the cold wind, beating one after another. Sneeze, finally got through the cold and cold night.What made him even more alarmed and annoyed was that the Mu family actually had a close relationship with the Lord of the City!

How dare Shopkeeper Qiu offend the Mu family like this! ?Isn't that equivalent to offending the Lord of the City!

From the words they talked about today, Xiao Liuzi was even more frightened. It seemed...it seemed that the two Mu brothers were the saviors of the old man of the City Lord's Mansion!
Shopkeeper Qiu and the tightly tied little Liuzi only looked at each other, and they were almost scared out of their wits. Originally, they were expecting that the city lord called him here for other important matters. It was completely smashed.

He remembered clearly that this little Liuzi was the one he hired to follow Ruan He yesterday. Now that he was tied up like this, he didn't need to think carefully about the outcome.

It's over. Judging from the current situation, Ruan He must have some relationship with the city lord. He tied up Xiao Liuzi and came here to settle this account with himself!
When the guard who led Shopkeeper Qiu saw that he was still standing there, he pushed him angrily and scolded him: "You haven't seen the Lord of the City yet?"

While he was speaking, the guard had already knelt on the ground and called out respectfully: "This subordinate has paid homage to the Lord of the City and has brought Qiu Zhangyuan, the manager of the Xinyuan Inn."

Shopkeeper Qiu was scolded angrily by the guards, and then he lay down in a panic, kowtowed respectfully, and called out: "Qiu Zhangyuan, a common man, has seen the Lord of the City."

He had been doing business in Yuecheng for more than ten years, but he had never seen the superior city lord. Naturally, he was frightened. When he saw Ruan He and Xiao Liuzi again, he didn't react for a while.

After a while, under the panic of Shopkeeper Qiu, a loud and calm voice came from above. "Get up."

Shopkeeper Qiu stood up. From the first glance, he could barely make out the appearance of the city lord above. He was probably a middle-aged man with upright and serious features and a cold temperament. He was wearing a shirt that represented the status of the city lord. Tanghong official robe.

There is a man with a slight smile sitting next to the city lord. He is probably in his 20s, maybe he is still young. Compared to the city lord who has a serious temperament, this man's smile is gentler, but There was a bit of shrewdness in his peaceful eyes, enough to tell that he was not a simple person.

However... someone who can sit next to the Lord of the City so casually is not a simple person. Judging from the casual look on his face when talking to the Lord of the City, the two of them should be good friends. They are about ten years apart. At the age of [-], these two people can become good friends, which is already a relationship that has lasted for many years.

Shopkeeper Qiu did recognize this person. He was Jia Yue, the only son of Jia Yuanwai, the richest man in Yuecheng. His business skills were also first-class. It was said that he ran all the shops in his family in an orderly manner, which made Jia Yuanwai full of praise. All the family assets were handed over to him to run.

Shopkeeper Qiu only dared to take a quick glance, and then he lowered his head honestly and stood motionless, waiting for the Lord of the City to make a decision.

"I already learned the cause of the matter from the two brothers Mu Yunchao early this morning. Xiao Liuzi also identified you, Shopkeeper Qiu, who spent money to follow and monitor Ruan He... Qiu Zhangyuan, Shopkeeper Qiu, can you do this? Something? Do you admit it?"

At this point, Xiao Liuzi was not very courageous and must have revealed everything. How could Shopkeeper Qiu still dare to deny it? He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and pressed his throat. With a trembling sound in his mouth, he lowered his head and responded, saying: "Lord City Lord... it was a villain who did it, and the villain knows his crime."

After Shopkeeper Qiu responded, the city lord lowered his calm and majestic eyes again, and asked slowly: "Let me ask you, why did you hire someone to follow Ruan He? What if you said If you don’t come up with a reason... I can’t punish someone.”

"Young man..." Shopkeeper Qiu was already frightened, and when he was pressed by the city lord, he was so frightened that a layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, and it kept dripping on the ground. He had no time to do anything. Wiping, I just thought about how to explain to the city lord that I had no ill intentions and reduce the blame for this matter. After all, it was inevitable now.

"The villain and Ruan He have always had a good and harmonious cooperative relationship. On weekdays, she will sell me the agricultural products she produces. But the batch of Wendan fruits she sold to the villain are varieties that cannot be found in the entire Yue City. , I was just curious about where her Wendan Fruit came from, so I hired someone to follow her to have a look, there is no harm in it...Please, Lord City Lord, please spare me!"

"Wendan fruit? I've indeed never heard of it." The city lord listened intently for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What kind of fruit is that?"

Before Shopkeeper Qiu could respond, Jia Yue, the city lord's friend, took the lead and said with a chuckle: "The city lord doesn't know something. Wendan fruit is a special variety of pomelo, usually pink-fleshed pomelo. We Yuecheng Indeed, there is no such variety. I have seen it in Xicheng, five hundred miles away, and it tastes good... It's a pity that we have never seen merchants from outer cities bring Wendan fruit in all these years. If Mrs. Mu has this Wendan fruit Fruit, can you sell me some for a taste?" (End of Chapter)
