Chapter 123 Inviting the Master to His Death
After meeting Su Chengyan, Su Yun received a mission: to make the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce independent.
Even if the Demon Lord were to destroy the headquarters a thousand years from now, he still wouldn't be able to eliminate the branches that span countless worlds.
As long as the shopkeeper is coerced, there will never be a solution.
But a thousand years ago... Su Chengyan and the daughter of the richest man were not married.
Su Yun can resolve things with just a few simple actions!
He had just treated Lianhe casually, and without him even saying a word, she would take the initiative to show goodwill to Su Chengyan.
This young master Yan clearly couldn't withstand the test.
Once Lianhe becomes pregnant with Su Chengyan's child, the marriage to the richest man's daughter will no longer be possible.
But Lianhe's desire to marry into the main branch of the Su family is not so simple.
Su Yun shrugged: "I'm just a doctor with a compassionate heart, wanting to save people."
“Young Master…” Wanlu felt a lingering fear and continued to admonish, “Please never go out alone next time.”
"Even if you come to Chunmanlou, you have to let me and Sister Caisha know."
"If something happens, we'll feel guilty for the rest of our lives."
The other girls nodded in agreement: "Yes, young master, you must be careful in your actions!"
Su Yun blinked: "What could possibly happen?"
At this moment, a servant came in: "Miss Wanlu, the Imperial Brother-in-law has arrived. Please come over."
"Now? Okay." Wanlu was a little surprised, but still said, "Young Master, please sit quietly. I'll go and say hello first."
Other guests can be ignored, but not the emperor's brother-in-law.
He is the current emperor's maternal uncle and the empress dowager's elder brother.
Although Chunmanlou has a powerful background, it still has to give face to the royal family.
The patrons downstairs, upon hearing that the emperor's brother-in-law had arrived, began to murmur amongst themselves: "We never expected the emperor's brother-in-law to come to this place."
"Who wouldn't want to come? But when I glimpsed the Imperial Brother-in-law just now, his hair was all white. He's only in his eighties, right? Ordinary cultivators still have long lifespans at this age, so why does he look so old?"
"The emperor's brother-in-law was also a highly decorated general in his youth, but he was wounded in the bone and his cultivation was completely destroyed, making him incurable by medicine."
"Unfortunately, his wife was unable to conceive and they had no children for many years."
"The Emperor's brother-in-law is a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and he refuses to take concubines. He only visits Chunmanlou occasionally, and each time he is entertained by the top courtesan. I really envy him."
A drunken young master in the hall, upon hearing this, complained loudly: "The Imperial Brother-in-Law? Just because the Imperial Brother-in-Law is here, he can take all the girls away?"
"Hmph, you don't know, that imperial brother-in-law is completely useless!"
"Every time you come here to put on airs, it's just to cover up that you don't have the ability!"
"Don't be fooled by the fact that he always spends the night with big shots; they're actually just drinking tea and reciting poetry. It's hilarious!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding drinkers all turned pale.
Who do you think you are to talk about the Emperor's brother-in-law behind his back?
But some people still couldn't help but ask, "How did you know?"
The drinkers laughed heartily: "How would you know? Who else but the person involved would know such a secret!"
"Guess whether it was the Emperor's brother-in-law who said it, or..."
Bang.
The door to the private room upstairs was pushed open, and a close attendant came out, smiling as he said, "The Imperial Brother-in-law said, 'Don't gossip behind people's backs.'"
"Kill him."
The drunkard instantly sobered up, covering his mouth in fear: "I..."
Boom boom boom!
His body moved faster than his mouth, and he was already banging his head on the ground.
In less than two breaths, he was covered in blood and gore, terrifying those around him.
The attendant spoke up again: "And those who spread rumors behind people's backs, kill them too."
He waved his hand and turned back nonchalantly.
There's no need to explain when faced with criticism.
It's enough to let people know that they'll be beaten to death for talking nonsense.
This is the imposing presence of the current emperor's uncle, the Imperial Brother-in-Law!
Boom!
The door to Su Yun's room was violently kicked open.
A group of well-equipped soldiers rushed in: "Who is Wanlu!"
Wanlu was trembling when she heard what she had just heard: "I am..."
The soldiers charged forward menacingly: "Take him down!"
The old woman rushed in and stood in front of everyone, saying, "Sir, there must be some misunderstanding!"
"My daughter has a talisman that keeps her mouth shut; how could she possibly reveal anything about the guests!"
"Besides..."
She tried to sound friendly: "Besides, the emperor's brother-in-law is in good health. Such rumors are completely unfounded and there's no reason to believe them!"
The soldier sneered, "This has nothing to do with you. If you don't leave now, it will become your problem."
Wanlu's face turned pale. Not wanting to involve the others, she stepped forward tremblingly: "I'll go with you."
"Kill or torture them as you please, but don't involve others."
The soldier nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it. Let's go. I'll leave you a whole body."
Wanlu kept turning back to look at herself, her heart filled with fear.
Outside the window, the weather remained sunny and warm, with spring flowers in bloom.
But I am about to face my death, on this insignificant day, becoming a lifeless corpse...
Wanlu was afraid of dying, but she was even more afraid of implicating others.
These sisters are innocent, and so is Young Master Su.
She was afraid, perhaps because Young Master Su's innate supernatural abilities had affected the silence talisman.
To unknowingly reveal things that shouldn't have been said.
So Wanlu closed her eyes; as long as she died, the others could escape...
"Wait a minute," a voice suddenly spoke.
Wanlu opened her eyes in surprise.
The emperor's brother-in-law's attendant came down: "What the old lady said makes sense. With the silencing talisman planted, it's unlikely that the news will get out."
The old woman exclaimed with delight, "Yes, yes, Your Excellency's brother-in-law is truly insightful!"
The attendant nodded: "That means it was someone who was also at Chunmanlou, but didn't have the 'silence talisman' who spread the news."
Everyone turned around; there was only one person like that.
That is the high-ranking, unrestrained courtesan!
Cai Sha slightly raised her head: "Me?"
The attendant smiled and nodded: "Then let the courtesan also go to her death."
Cai Sha, devoid of emotion, stood up almost without hesitation: "Okay."
The attendant was astonished; this woman was remarkably detached.
With admiration, I smiled and said, "Then please."
Wanlu's eyes returned to despair; she hadn't expected to still end up with one of her best friends.
She nominally served Cai Sha, but they had a very good relationship in private.
Thinking that the other person had only been there a short time and was about to die on the spot, he felt even more grief-stricken.
The old woman stopped him in a trembling voice: "Sir, there is absolutely no way this colorful gauze could leak the news, and besides... this matter is still far from being settled."
"We can't kill someone just because of a few rumors."
The attendant smiled: "When will we kill them, until the whole city is in turmoil?"
The old woman was unable to speak.
The attendant waved his hand: "Take them all to the backyard and beat them to death!"
Wanlu was filled with despair, dragging her heavy steps, but she couldn't help but look back one last time.
She had just met the young master and had all her various ailments cured, thinking she could finally live a good life, but unexpectedly...
"Ok?"
Wanlu noticed that everyone's attention had been diverted, and the young master had disappeared!
"Wait!" The attendant seemed to have received something and was listening intently to the message.
Wanlu was in a gloomy mood and had given up hope of a sudden interruption.
Anyway, no one will save me...
The attendant suddenly gave a strange look: "Release them!"
