The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"Some people refused and were buried in the backyard of the troupe. I was so scared that I had no choice but to sign the contract to sell myself."

"Thinking about it now, maybe it would have been better if I had been buried then."

The more the woman spoke, the sadder she became. At the end, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry.

Shi Gu listened carefully, but his face showed no emotion. He didn't say much, turned around again, leaned against the window, and looked at the structure of the teahouse carefully.

After waiting for the woman to stop crying, Shi Gu asked slowly.

"So, this teahouse is also owned by that person?"

The woman said softly while wiping her tears.

"Yes and no."

"The teahouse is under his brother's name, but he actually controls it."

"Is that person very powerful? How dare he do such a thing?"

"That man's name is Sun Fu, but his brother is the outer sect manager of the Yulin League. No one dares to offend him, not to mention Lin'an City, even in other places."

After hearing this, Shi Gu burst out laughing and shook his head slightly. He originally thought that Lin'an City was located in a remote area and those underworld forces would not be willing to come here.

Unexpectedly, those underworld forces were really unwilling to come here, but the small fish and shrimps that were dependent on them had already secretly taken root here.

Shi Gu did not ask any more questions, but opened the window a little wider and spoke to the woman.

"This building is well built. It's a bit of a waste to use it as a teahouse, but it's just right to use it as a theater."

After saying that, Shi Gu suddenly stood up, stretched, and spoke slowly.

"Girl, I have a question for you, can you answer it?"

The woman was confused for a moment, but still spoke politely.

"Speak lightly, sir. I will tell you everything I know and will say it to you."

Shi Gu thought about it carefully and then asked.

"If a carriage travels day and night, how far will it travel in three days?"

The woman became even more confused after hearing this, and felt that the question was abrupt, but she still answered patiently.

"Sir, I've heard people say that."

"A horse carriage can normally travel fifty miles a day. If we travel day and night, we also have to take into account the wear and tear of the horses. So, the maximum we can travel is one hundred and fifty miles."

"After three days, it should be 450 miles."

Hearing this, Shi Gu pursed his lips and said with a smile.

"That's a good answer. Since the answer is correct, you should be rewarded."

As he spoke, Shi Gu walked towards the door, speaking at the same time.

"Get ready. You're going to perform on stage tomorrow. Don't mess it up."

The woman was surprised to hear this and was about to ask more questions when she saw Shi Gu walking out of the door. He closed the door gently and gave the woman some instructions.

"Stay inside and don't come out."

"It's going to be very noisy in here."

With that, the door was completely closed. The woman was confused and paced back and forth in the room. However, not long after, she heard a commotion and a lot of noise outside the door.

“Someone come here!!”

"Break that kid's legs for me! He dares to come here and cause trouble!"

"superior!!"

Listening to the noise, the woman became more and more nervous, but she remembered Shigu's instructions and did not dare to go out. So she leaned against the window and looked out, just like Shigu had done before.

The floor structure of the teahouse is in the shape of a U.S. character. A group of people dressed as thugs walked up the stairs in a hurry to the third floor. At this moment, black shadows fell down one after another, like dumplings, and fell down with a crackling sound.

I saw that starting from a room on the third floor, windows exploded one after another, and figures one after another broke through the windows and fell down, one room after another, without any pause, and no one could stop the speed for a moment.

Shi Gu walked leisurely into a room, raised his foot, stepped forward, and slapped the person who rushed towards him out of the window with a slap. His breathing was steady, as if he was chasing away flies.

Another person rushed over, and Shi Gu changed his mind. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the wooden table beside him.

Clap!

With just a crisp sound, the surging air flow, like an invisible sword, cut the wooden table into countless pieces in an instant, and the scattered wood chips exploded and scattered all over the ground.

Seeing this, the thugs who were about to rush over suddenly stopped, turned around and ran away in fear.

Shi Gu frowned and looked at the wood chips in his hand. He suddenly felt a little annoyed. He wanted to swing the table over, but he couldn't control his strength.

"Ugh."

After a light sigh, Shi Gu raised his hand again and reached forward. The people who were running away paused and felt an invisible force grabbing them and lifting their bodies upwards.

Shi Gu raised his palm high and swung it suddenly. The bodies of the thugs suddenly flew into the air, as if they were pinched by an invisible giant hand and thrown out at will.

From then on, no thugs appeared. Shi Gu nodded with satisfaction and stepped forward again.

A moment later, in a room on the third floor.

Different from other rooms, the room here is unusually luxurious, with a pearwood desk and the scent of rosewood wafting into the nose.

In the middle of the room, a fat man with a dark face was sitting on a chair. It was Sun Fu. There were two men in white standing beside him, wearing long swords.

Shi Gu gently pushed the door open, strode into the room, walked to the table, looked at Sun Fu, who had a very bad face, and asked with a smile.

"Boss, are you selling this teahouse?"

Sun Fu was so furious when he heard this that the fat on his face trembled, but he still forced himself to suppress his anger. He didn't know the other party's background clearly, so he still needed to wait and see. After all, he had only injured a few worthless thugs. He looked at Shi Gu and said lightly.

"I am a businessman. As long as the price is right, I can sell anything."

"Tell me the price you offer."

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu stretched out three fingers and spoke softly.

"Three thousand taels, is that enough?"

Hearing this, Sun Fu's face darkened and he sneered.

"Don't be ridiculous, my friend. This location alone is not worth three thousand taels."

Shi Gu retracted his fingers, raised his eyebrows and said.

"In that case, I can add some more."

Sun Fu didn't know Shi Gu's background, so he had to patiently continue asking.

“How much can you add?”

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy punch broke through the air, came down with a whistling sound, and hit Sun Fu in the face.

With a crisp sound of bones breaking, Sun Fu flew backwards, and his huge body smashed the bookshelf behind him. His face was covered in blood and his nose was twisted and stuck in his face.

In an instant, the men in white standing on both sides drew their swords, and the cold sword lights intersected and slashed diagonally, attacking Shi Gu's face at the same time.

The swords crossed each other but both fell into empty space. Shi Gu's figure disappeared and appeared in front of Sun Fu. He clenched his fist with a smile on his face and asked Sun Fu.

"Is it enough?"

"If it's not enough, I can add more."

The two men in white were shocked when they saw this. They turned around at the same time, put the hilts of the swords around their wrists, and were about to strike again. Shi Gu turned his back to the two men and suddenly raised his right hand.

The next moment, a ray of clear light passed through and shattered the two swords at the same time. After the clear light passed through, it went straight to the pear wood desk.

In an instant, wood chips flew, and a big hole appeared on the desk, with a golden token embedded in it.

The two men took a look at the token and suddenly became frightened. They threw away the swords in their hands and bowed down to Shi Gu.

I saw that the golden token was engraved with intricate patterns, and in the middle was the word "Lin".

The two men in white robes had cold sweat on their foreheads and were frightened. This token was the elder token of the Yulin League, but most of the time it was held by the families of the elders in the league to prevent the disciples of the league and the families of the elders from having a farce like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple.

Sun Fu did not see this scene. After being hit by Shi Gu's punch, his face had collapsed and he would not live long. At this point, he was already unconscious and could only instinctively make painful inhalations.

Shi Gu turned his back to the two men in white robes and spoke slowly.

"Go back and tell Sun Fu's brother that this shop belongs to me. He has two days to send the deed to this teahouse."

"Otherwise, let him go down and reunite with his brother."

Hearing this, the two men in white looked at each other, bowed together and responded.

"Yes, the little one knows."

After saying that, the two of them stood up, turned around and left without any hesitation. After the two of them had completely left, Shi Gu turned around, put away the token on the table, and sighed in a low voice.

"This brand was really not stolen in vain."

Yes, Shi Gu stole this brand from someone else, but that’s not really accurate.

To be precise, it was Shi Gu who snatched it from the daughter of the third elder after he molested the daughter-in-law of the great elder of Yulin League and beat up the grandson of the second elder.

Sun Fu's brother was only an outer sect manager, and normally he didn't even have the qualifications to meet with the elders of the alliance. Even if he did, he wouldn't dare to go up and ask about what happened today.

After Shi Gu put away the token, he turned around and looked at Sun Fu, who was lying on the ground and dying. The man was already dying and there was nothing that could be done to save him.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door. They stopped outside the door, but did not dare to approach.

Shi Gu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the blood on his body, then walked forward and pushed the door open to leave.

Outside the door, a group of thugs with bruised faces and noses looked at Shi Gu who pushed the door open with fear. They took a breath of cold air, their eyes filled with fear, and they dared not step forward.

Shi Gu was smiling as he looked at the group of thugs in front of him who were beaten black and blue by him. His face was full of smiles.

He just opened his arms and spoke loudly to the thugs in front of him.

"Everyone, I have good news for you."

"From today on, I am your boss... no... I am your leader."

"Are you happy?"

Upon hearing this, the thugs' faces froze, and they couldn't help but take a step back as they looked at Shi Gu who was smiling.

The smile on Shi Gu's face quickly disappeared, replaced by a cold expression, and he spoke to the people in front of him.

"Do you understand? If not, I'll explain it in more detail."

As he spoke, Shi Gu raised his bloody hand. Seeing this, everyone was shocked, lowered their heads, and shouted in unison.

"Understood, boss."

Seeing this, Shi Gu smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and spoke to everyone.

"Don't worry, I'm a kind person and I treat people gently on weekdays."

"By the way, remember to bury Sun Fu in the house later. Leaving his body here is an eyesore."

Hearing this, everyone shuddered and didn't even dare to raise their heads, for fear of bringing bad luck. At this time, the leader of the thugs plucked up the courage and asked Shi Gu with a flattering look on his face.

"Boss, do you have any other instructions?"

Hearing this, Shigu smacked his lips, feeling that the title of boss was not comfortable enough.

"Don't call me boss, just call me boss."

"boss?"

"No, no, it's better to call me the richest man in Lin'an City."

"Lin... the richest man in Lin'an City?"

"Call me Mr. Shi!"

Chapter 12: Tibetan

Among the thugs in Dengxiang Pavilion, there were always a few smart ones. One of the thinner thugs immediately shouted smartly after hearing Shigu's nonsense.

"Your Excellency."

Hearing this, Shi Gu looked at the man with satisfaction and waved to him.

"come here."
