Chapter 140
Ye Chen knew that these Lu merchants were lawless, but he didn't expect them to be so bold.
He had already wiped out the previous den, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself. He was still recruiting people and carrying out kidnapping activities.
“How do they recruit people?”
Ye Chen looked at the pawnshop and asked.
"Sir, this pawnshop is openly recruiting employees, and they are only hiring people from outside the area. I've observed that anyone who is successfully recruited never leaves again."
Lu Niu Dan said confidently: "Sir, I think these people should have been imprisoned."
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled coldly.
"Qiu'er, immediately dispatch the people from the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion. Have them, along with the Imperial Guards, set up arrangements around the area."
"When I give the order, no one from Lu Shang is allowed to escape from here!"
Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu beside him.
"Yes!"
Shen Qiu immediately gave the order.
"Land bull gall."
"exist."
Lu Niudan immediately clasped his fists towards Ye Chen.
"You are familiar with the Lu Shang's methods. When the Imperial Guards and the people from the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion begin to make their arrangements, tell Qiu'er everything you have in mind. If you can completely capture the Lu Shang's men this time, I will remember your meritorious service and offer you a great reward!"
Hearing this, Lu Niu Dan instantly became excited.
"Don't worry, sir. With me here, no one in this pawnshop can escape!"
Lu Niudan turned around and ran to find Shen Qiu.
Chu Ji, Liu Zhong and others also came over at this time.
"Sir, we are also very experienced in catching people. Let us also help Lord Shen."
Chu Ji clasped his fists towards Ye Chen.
"Go."
Ye Chen waved his hand, knowing that these people in the martial arts world were eager to make achievements, and he was willing to give them a chance.
quickly.
Shen Qiu has already returned.
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."
"Okay, Qiu'er, follow me in."
Ye Chen said so.
"Yes."
Ye Chen was about to get out of the car, but his sleeve was suddenly grabbed by Qin Man.
"Your Majesty, be careful."
Qin Man asked with a worried look on her pretty face.
"Don't worry, Meng'er."
Ye Chen smiled slightly, his tone gentle and his expression confident. He gently patted Qin Man's hand, and when she let go of her hand, he got off the carriage.
"Sir, Liu Zhong sent this."
Shen Qiu suddenly handed over something as big as a palm. Ye Chen was slightly stunned, and then his eyes lit up.
"crossbow?"
This is a small crossbow, only as big as a palm, and the crossbow arrow is only as long as a finger.
"Sir, Liu Zhong said that the crossbow's arrows are coated with anesthetic. If it comes into contact with blood, it will make the person faint in a moment."
Shen Qiu said so.
Hearing this, Ye Chen laughed.
These people in the underworld have quite a lot of good things in their hands.
"Qiu'er, Chu Ji, Liu Zhong, and Lu Niu Dan, give them all a generous reward later."
To these meritorious people in the world.
Ye Chen will not be stingy with rewards.
"Yes."
Shen Qiu nodded vigorously. These days, those people in the martial arts world have indeed made many contributions, and she also admitted that these people have some abilities.
After Ye Chen put the crossbow into his sleeve, he strode towards the pawnshop.
The pawnshop's business was not very good. When Ye Chen walked into the pawnshop, there was no one else in front of the counter. There was only a shopkeeper who was counting on the abacus.
As soon as he saw a stranger coming.
The shopkeeper who was using an abacus was slightly stunned, then looked up at Ye Chen.
At this time, Ye Chen was also looking at the layout of the pawnshop. There was a wooden wall in front of the counter, revealing a window as big as a human head.
All communication between the pawnshop owner and the pawner must be through this window.
Such an arrangement is obviously easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Hey young man, what are you doing here?"
The shopkeeper asked with a smile on his face.
"I heard you're hiring here?"
Ye Chen stared at the shopkeeper and found that his face had many wrinkles, he had a square head and big ears, his hair and beard were gray, and he actually looked kind and gentle when he smiled.
"Yes, yes, we are indeed hiring here, but it doesn't seem like you are willing to work here."
The old shopkeeper nodded frequently, his tone very gentle, but his eyes kept wandering from Ye Chen and Shen Qiu, with a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
"Shopkeeper, I'm a merchant from out of town. I happen to know some friends, so I'm here to ask for them."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said in a calm tone.
"Haha, sir, why don't you come in and chat first?"
The old shopkeeper narrowed his eyes into crescents and said with a smile.
"can."
The old shopkeeper then opened a door on the wooden wall and invited Ye Chen in.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "I won't go in. Let your boss come out and talk to me!"
Hearing this, the old shopkeeper frowned slightly, then said, "Sir, if the guests who come to our place have something to discuss, they can come in and have a cup of tea, and then I will come forward to negotiate."
"And my boss is not in the store."
The old shopkeeper's tone was still gentle, and his words were flawless.
"Oh, that's your rule, not mine."
"I'm here to look at the job requirements for a friend. Only your boss is qualified to negotiate with me!"
Ye Chen sneered, his face showing arrogance and domineering attitude.
Hearing this, the old shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly bowed and said, "Sir, may I know your name?"
"My surname is Zhen, and I'm from Hebei!"
Ye Chen raised his head and said.
Shen Qiu, who was standing by, was a little shocked when he saw this. Ye Chen’s acting as a playboy was too convincing, just like the real thing.
"Zhen, someone from the Zhen family?"
The old shopkeeper's expression changed, and he immediately bowed and said, "Sir, could it be someone from the Yanjin Chamber of Commerce?"
"Oh, that's good if you know!"
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. The Zhen family is a big family in Hebei. It has great influence in Hebei, and the whole family is not obsessed with fame and fortune. Instead, it focuses on business.
Therefore, people from the Zhen family do not often appear in the capital, so they are not afraid of being exposed by fabricating this false identity.
"this."
The old shopkeeper looked at Ye Chen, frowned and thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "Sir, the Yanjin Chamber of Commerce and my boss often have business dealings, but I don't know what kind of business you want to discuss. Are you really here to recruit workers?"
"Oh, how many people can you recruit in the capital? How many people can you recruit north of the Yellow River? I've said this, but you still don't understand. Tell your boss to come out, otherwise, this young master won't wait any longer."
Upon hearing this, the old shopkeeper was shocked all over.
The so-called recruitment of workers by the Lu merchants was actually some shady activities. Although the capital city had a large population, compared with the north of the Yellow River which was adjacent to the barbarians, the north of the Yellow River was undoubtedly easier to plunder the population.
The old shopkeeper immediately realized that this was a really big business. Ye Chen had obviously already found out about the secret dealings of the Lu merchants and came prepared.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll go find the boss right away. Someone, come and serve tea to you!"
