Chapter 34 Crisis
There was constant noise outside the Hongqiao Dyeing Shop.

Xiao Qiaoniang stood behind the dyeing workshop counter with an anxious look on her face, unable to help.

She originally wanted to go out with Chen Liushi to dissuade them, but Chen Liushi firmly stopped her and asked her to stay in the store to take care of it.

If something happened to Xiao Qiaoniang in the chaos, Chen Liu would not be able to explain to Bai Yuan.

The Zhu family came with great momentum and it was obvious that they were not going to let things go peacefully. They might even resort to violence.

If Chen Liu does not agree to compensation, given the influence of the Zhu family in the city, I'm afraid the Hongqiao Dyeing Factory will not be open until tomorrow.

The king's law is always effective only when the strength is equal.

The gap between them and the Zhu family is too big.

Despair and dejection. Xiao Qiaoniang and Chen Liushi have poured so much effort into this dyeing workshop, and they don't want it to end like this and have a miserable ending.

Just then, a young man walked out from the crowd.

"uncle?!"

The young man with a folding fan raised his eyebrows when he saw Bai Yuan appear.

"So this is Junior Brother Bai's business."

Bai Yuan originally felt that the rich man in front of him looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that this man was one of the two young men who followed Ji Hanming that day.

When Chen Liu saw Bai Yuan appear, she was delighted.

She whispered in Bai Yuan's ear: "This man is the eldest son of the Zhu family, his name is Zhu Huan."

The folding fan in Zhu Huan's hand snapped shut.

"Brother Bai, I am not deliberately making things difficult for you. Hongqiao Dyeing Workshop broke the rules of the city's merchants, so it must be punished."

These words are said with great righteousness.

"But for Brother Ji's sake, I can let it go. What do you think, Junior Brother Bai?"

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

It turns out that Zhu Huan is clearly Ji Hanming's lobbyist, but it is unknown whether it was Ji Hanming's instruction.

Although Zhu Huan did not say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear, that is, as long as Bai Yuan agreed to join Feiying Fort, the compensation of two thousand taels of silver could be written off.

Although the means were a bit despicable, they did not openly tear each other apart, which could be considered as leaving a way out for Bai Yuan.

As long as Bai Yuan accepts Ji Hanming's invitation, both sides will be on the same side, and this little conflict will be nothing.

Zhu Huan looked at Bai Yuan with a smile, waiting for his reply.

He had seen too many poor people like Bai Yuan who were arrogant and proud. In his opinion, Ji Hanming's methods were too gentle. In fact, as long as he exerted a little pressure, the other party would have to submit.

By helping Ji Hanming, he was also helping Feiying Fort.

Although the Zhu family is doing well in Qinghe County, it is still far behind behemoths like Feiying Fort.

As long as Bai Yuan agrees, he can not only resolve the crisis of Hongqiao Dyeing Factory, but also gain a bright future.

He really couldn't think of any reason why the other party would refuse.

But under Zhu Huan's determined smile, Bai Yuan slowly uttered three words.

"I'll pay for it."

Lose money?!
Zhu Huan's smile froze and the folding fan in his hand paused. Things were somewhat different from what he expected.

If Bai Yuan refused, not only would he lose all his credit with Ji Hanming, but he would also offend a martial artist with a bright future for no reason.

Chen Liu, who was standing aside, was also stunned. She didn't expect Bai Yuan to agree so decisively.

"A Yuan this"

Bai Yuan waved his hand: "The matter has been settled, Sister Chen, there is no need to say anything more."

Seeing Bai Yuan's resolute attitude, Zhu Huan became a little angry: "Brother Bai, have you thought it through?"

"In seven days, two thousand taels of silver must be presented."

"Three days."

"Okay, just three days."

Zhu Huan was so angry that he laughed: "I want to see how you can come up with two thousand taels of silver."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left with his men. Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the people who were surrounding the Hongqiao Dyeing Workshop also dispersed.

The door of Hongqiao Dyeing Shop was closed.

"Ah Yuan, that's two thousand taels of silver. How can we afford to pay for it?"

Chen Liu looked anxious.

Xiao Qiaoniang stood quietly by the side. Although she didn't know why her uncle did this, she believed there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

Bai Yuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Sister Chen, I have my own way."

Seeing Bai Yuan's confident look, Chen Liu could only sigh and say no more. She really couldn't think of a way to break the impasse.

All those "big shots" she had made friends with before had no say in front of the Zhu family.

After Chen Liushi left, Xiao Qiaoniang spoke worriedly, "Uncle, is there really a way?"

Bai Yuan nodded: "Sister-in-law, don't you believe me?"

"Of course I believe it."

Xiao Qiaoniang's words came from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for her uncle, how could the Bai family have its current prosperity?

Because of Zhu Huan's disturbance, Hongqiao Dyeing Workshop naturally could not do any business today, and the shop closed early.

It was still early, so Bai Yuan simply took Xiao Qiaoniang for a parade in Qinghe County.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think of the hairpin?"

Bai Yuan came to a small stall, picked up an exquisite rosewood hairpin and spoke with a smile.

Xiao Qiaoniang waved her hands quickly: "These are things used by young ladies from wealthy families. I can't use them."

"Shopkeeper, this is it."

Bai Yuan waved his hand and took out three hundred copper coins from his arms.

Xiao Qiaoniang stared at the rosewood hairpin in her hand in a daze. Her uncle was already in debt of two thousand taels, and now he was still in the mood to spend money?

"Uncle, do you really have a way to pay back the money?"

"Who said I have to pay it back?"

"."

Bai Yuan and Xiao Qiaoniang returned to Baisha Town.

After today's ordeal, Xiao Qiaoniang felt exhausted both physically and mentally and fell asleep early.

Bai Yuan sat alone in the courtyard sharpening his knife.

To be fair, the commander of the Eagle Cavalry of Feiying Fort is a good choice for most martial artists, but it is not suitable for him.

Because he has the Tiger Crane Style.

It is not difficult to guess from the previous movements of the three major forces that both Feiying Fort and the Iron Knife Gang are tracking down the whereabouts of Tiger-Shaped Crane.

If the masters of Flying Eagle Castle discovered that he was practicing the Tiger-Crane Style, the consequences would be disastrous.

As for the two thousand taels mentioned by Zhu Huan, he had no intention of paying it back at all.

Because he smelled a very familiar scent from Zhu Huan, the scent of a snake demon, and he happened to be a demon hunter.

Bai Yuan sharpened the knife very seriously. The axe was already extremely sharp, and it became even sharper after his sharpening. The gleaming blade looked chilling in the moonlight.

He walked to the corner of the yard and drew his hardwood bow and quiver filled with feathered arrows.

He took out a black scarf from the closet and tied it on his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. At first glance, he looked like a killer from the Soul-Chasing Tower.

Everything was ready, and he turned to look at the west wing where Xiao Qiaoniang was.

His hearing is now extremely amazing. He can still hear Xiao Qiaoniang's steady breathing even ten meters away.

After confirming that his sister-in-law was asleep, he turned and left.

Since his tracking skills were perfected, his physical movements became much stronger.

In order not to wake up his sister-in-law, he jumped over the courtyard wall. His physical skills were better than those of many martial artists.

The night is dark and windy, which is a good time to kill.
