Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 50 Midnight Thief
West Market.

In a private room of a restaurant.

Cui Minghao smiled and catered to the gouache shop owners present, but his eyes were filled with anger.

Most of the owners of the gouache shops in Xishi sit here.

As long as they join forces, they will have the final say on the price of rouge and powder in Chang'an City.

But even such a powerful energy gathered together and went to Wenxianglai to seek cooperation, but was still rejected by Wenxianglai.

He only smelled the fragrance because of Su Chen's reputation, which made the soap business so popular. What's so great about that?
Everyone here has a strong background and extensive business. How can a newcomer like him be compared with them?

"Shopkeeper Cui's..."

The owner of a gouache shop walked towards Cui Minghao drunkenly, but stumbled and fell beside him.

"Manager Wang, are you okay?"

"it's okay no problem."

Shopkeeper Wang waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a chuckle, "I'm fine, but if he smells the fragrance, then there will be trouble."

Cui Minghao drank in silence.

Shopkeeper Wang sneered, "He's a piece of shit, doing business in our territory, but he doesn't know the ropes and doesn't know the etiquette. I've already spread the word that Wang's rouge and powder will never have anything to do with them in the future!"

"Manager Wang said it well! Watching them make money is more painful than me losing money!"

"I have already informed the boss about this. Hey, they want rouge and powder in the future? Dream on!"

"We went to Wen Xiang to cooperate with them. That was giving them face. If they are so ungrateful, they should be punished!"

"As it should be!"

Everyone expressed their opinions with a smile on their faces.

Simultaneously.

I feel extremely disdainful towards smelling fragrance.

They have been working in this industry for many years, but it has only been a few days since they came to prominence?

Can he compare?
You know what’s incomparable?
"I'd like to offer a toast to you all!"

Cui Minghao stood up with a smile, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile, "People like Wen Xianglai who don't know what's good for them should be taught a lesson!"

"Haha, that's right."

"Come, come, let's drink this cup together!"

"Done!"

The lively scene lasted until dusk.

Compared to the shop owners who were helped away by the shop assistants, Cui Minghao was obviously much more sober.

After they dispersed, Cui Minghao raised his hand and pushed away the guy next to him, and asked coldly, "Is anyone here?"

"I'm already staying in the inn."

"Okay, send someone to tell them to start the action tonight! After the task is completed, each person will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. If they fail, they know what to do themselves."

"Yes."

The guy nodded and walked away quickly.

Cui Minghao shook his clothes, straightened his sleeves, and a hint of coldness appeared on his face.

Come and smell the fragrance!
Without soap, you are nothing!

……

The night is getting darker.

The streets of Xishi are a little deserted.

Passersby in twos and threes, most of them drunk, walked out of the brothels.

A group of four people dressed in dark clothes walked briskly in the direction where the fragrance came from.

When I smelled the fragrance, the door was closed.

The four of them just looked up and headed towards the alley on the side.

In order to ensure the safety of the workshop and reduce the distance of transportation, the soap workshop was located in the courtyard behind Wenxianglai.

Qian Yun and others had already investigated everything clearly. Now the workers in the workshop have gone home to rest. The four of them can sneak into the workshop without anyone noticing and steal the secret method of making soap!

As long as you get the secret method of soap, the smell of fragrance will be self-defeating.

"stop."

At the command, the four of them hid in the shadows.

A team of patrol police passed by in front of them. Only after they left did Qian Yun and his three companions walk out from the shadows.

After taking a look at the ten-foot-high outer wall, the four of them looked at each other and formed a human ladder.

Qian Yun slowly poked his head out and looked into the courtyard.

It was pitch black, not a single person in sight.

Qian Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and just as he was about to turn around to tell his companions, he saw a figure appear on the outer wall at some point.

Qian Yun was stunned and looked over, and saw the other party looking at him with a smile, "Brother, climbing the wall is tiring, right? The three brothers below are even more tired, right?"

"..."

"go!"

Hush!

Wang Xuance did not stop him and blew a whistle with a smile.

Wow.

For an instant.

A group of burly men, holding short sticks, blocked both ends of the alley.

With the help of the torches in their hands, Qian Yun and the other three could clearly see the other people's faces, which were full of joy.

Gurgle. Qian Yun and the other three couldn't help but swallow.

They were so careful, yet they were still discovered by the other party!
"Don't beat him to death, keep him alive."

"Yes!"

At both ends of the street, strong men nodded in unison.

then.

As soon as one person walked out, he was stopped by his companions.

"let me!"

"No, you're not hitting them hard enough. What if you kill them?"

"I'll do it!"

"..."

Qian Yun and the other three were stunned.

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being hunted by a hunter?

and.

Or a group of hunters, what the hell?

"enough!"

Wang Xuance was somewhat speechless. He raised his hand and pointed at four people, "Go ahead!"

"Yes!"

The four big men who were pointed out came out excitedly.

Although the alley was large enough for four people to walk together, when the four people walked out from the left and right sides, the alley was blocked tightly like a gate.

If you want to rush out, you must get rid of them, and then...

There is another group of people!

"rush out!"

It only took a few breaths from the time Qian Yun gave the order to the end of the battle.

Four consecutive screams rang out in the alley and spread quickly.

"what……"

"Spare your life!"

Wang Xuance jumped down from the outer wall and couldn't help frowning when he saw Qian Yun and other three people whose limbs were broken by their companions.

"Boss Wang, are we too harsh?"

Seeing that Wang Xuance remained silent, the four people who took action looked at each other and asked nervously.

Wang Xuance shook his head and said, "You should have removed their jaws first, so they can't scream anymore."

"Now, those patrol officers heard about it and had to hand them over."

"...?"

Everyone was stunned.

Originally they thought that Wang Xuance was unhappy because they had used too much force, but they did not expect that Wang Xuance was upset because they had not removed their jaws immediately, causing them to scream and alarm the patrol police.

While the four of them breathed a sigh of relief, they also had a deeper understanding of Wang Xuance.

Da da da.

There were waves of footsteps coming from far away.

"happened……"

Qi Huan and his men hurried over.

Before they saw the injured person, they saw Wang Xuance and others all turned their heads to look.

Except for Wang Xuance, everyone was holding a short stick. What was even more terrifying was that everyone's position seemed to be able to launch a joint attack in the army!

Qi Huan swallowed his saliva, and the men around him were even more nervous and trembling, "Captain, these people didn't run away from some camp, did they?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Qi Huan glared at his men, then smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "But is Brother Wang Xuance in person?"

"It turned out to be Master Qi."

Wang Xuance smiled and bowed, then stepped forward to greet him, "I never thought that Master Qi would be on duty today."

Qi Huan smiled and nodded. As Wang Xuance came over, he also saw Qian Yun and the other three lying on the ground.

Just one glance, Qi Huan couldn't help but mourn for him. Qian Yun and the others had their limbs broken, no wonder the sound they heard just now was so miserable.

"they are?"

"Someone who climbed over the wall and broke in at midnight."

Qi Huan glanced at Qian Yun and the other three lying on the ground with understanding, and waved to his men behind him.

Everyone stepped forward and lifted up Qian Yun and the other three.

"I'm taking the four of them away. Don't worry, I'll interrogate them strictly."

"Thank you, Master Qi."

Wang Xuance smiled and bowed.

Qi Huan nodded and looked at the people behind Wang Xuance with some curiosity. They looked full of murderous intent and didn’t look like good people no matter how you looked at them.

"they are?"

"They are the guards recruited by the young master. Lord Qi also knows that our business is getting better and better. If there were no guards watching, wouldn't the soap be stolen by them?"

"It makes sense."

Qi Huan nodded and left with everyone.
