My apprentice is too diligent.

Chapter 2【002】Robbery by clever means

Chen Lindong!
Chen Wuji's eyes turned cold.

Return to the bedroom, pick up your coat, put it on, and walk out.

"What happened to Chen Lindong again?"

"It seems that when I was shopping for groceries, I accidentally broke an antique plate. I was caught on the spot by Xiong Zengming from the Bear Gang." Butler Ge trotted to follow and replied worriedly, "The broken antique plate is said to be priceless. For this reason, Xiong Zengming Come to your door and demand compensation.”

Accidentally broke it while buying groceries?

Priceless antiques appear in the market?

Just happened to be caught red-handed by the deputy leader of the Bear Gang, Xiong Zengming?

How about so many coincidences!

Chen Wuji's brain was racing and he walked quickly with no expression on his face.

Come to the front yard.

"Master!"

"Master, the guy named Xiong is here to bully me again!"

"Master, fight them!"

……

In the courtyard, two groups of people have gathered.

One party was the disciples of Qianlongmen, and except for the youngest and eighth disciple, all the others were present.

On one side is a team wearing black clothes with a ferocious bear head embroidered on their chest.

The leader was a big man, with a thick waist and round arms, and bulging muscles. He was nearly eight feet tall and had a rough face. There was a young man stepping on his feet, and he stared at the approaching Chen Wuji with a playful look.

"Clan Master Chen is finally here."

Xiong Zengming raised his chin, looked at Chen Wuji, and chuckled, "You, my disciple, broke a precious flower plate that I had forgotten. This flower plate was an imperial weapon of the previous dynasty and was priceless! Master Chen, please tell me about this. How to calculate it?"

"He is talking nonsense! Master, he is cheating and deliberately framed me!"

Chen Lindong, who was stepped on by Xiong Zengming, struggled and roared in grief.

Chen Wuji looked indifferent, glanced at Chen Lindong, and said nothing.

Immediately, he looked at Su Dayong and said, "Boss, you and Xiao Qi went out to buy groceries together. Let us tell you what happened."

"Yes, tell it like it is, tell it like it is."

Xiong Zengming grinned, "It's good to have you as a witness. Please tell me in detail, did I cheat and frame him?"

The slight exertion on his feet caused Chen Lindong's face to turn red and he moaned softly.

"Yes, Master."

Su Dayong's face was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "In the morning, Junior Brother Seven and I went to the market and bought vegetables from several stalls as usual. However, when we bought fish and walked back, we found that the fish died quickly, so we went back to find the stalls. The owner returned it, but the stall owner refused to admit it and insisted that we killed him."

"Seventh Junior Brother was so angry that he started to argue with him and asked the stall owner to back out. The stall owner refused to withdraw even though he said nothing. He even picked up the bowls and plates sold at the stall next to him and threw them at Seventh Junior Brother."

"Seventh Junior Brother passively fought back and broke the dishes."

"As a result, as soon as one of the plates was broken, Xiong Zengming suddenly rushed out and said that the plate belonged to him!"

"Hey, young man, be careful what you say." Xiong Zengming snorted and shouted, "What do you mean by rushing out suddenly? My gang leader obviously happened to be passing by, okay?"

"Just passing by?"

Chen Yifan snorted, pointed at Xiong Zengming, and said sarcastically, "Your gang leader, Xiong, usually either goes in and out of Goulan, restaurants, or gambling stalls. Why are you so leisurely and relaxed this morning, visiting a vegetable market with all kinds of flavors?"

"That's right." Han Ying agreed, "Xiong Zengming, what are you pretending to be? Do you think we are blind?"

"Girls, be polite."

Xiong Zengming shouted coldly, ignoring Chen Yifan and Han Ying, staring at Chen Wuji, and sneered, "You don't need to worry about when I go to the market. But Master Chen, you, your disciple, broke my palace plate before your eyes." Hard facts!"

"I know."

Chen Wuji said calmly, "Xiao Qi broke the imperial disk, Deputy Gang Leader Xiong, how do you want to compensate?"

"Master..." Chen Lindong shouted with a tearful tone.

Chen Yifan, Han Ying, Su Dayong and others had faces full of grief and anger.

"Ha ha!"

Xiong Zengming laughed and said, "Clan Master Chen is so happy. My imperial plate is now an orphan. It was originally worth tens of thousands taels of silver. Since Sect Master Chen is so happy, I don't want more, 3000 taels!"

"As long as 3000 taels of silver are needed, this matter will be over."

Xiong Zengming squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Wuji expectantly. "What, 3000 taels? Why don't you grab it!"

"Master, don't listen to him!"

"..."

Chen Yifan, Han Ying, Su Dayong and others were furious and cursed.

"Master, don't worry about me!"

Chen Lindong also lay on the ground and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xiong Zengming, don't even think about it! One person is responsible for the work, and I am responsible for the plates I broke! It's impossible for you to want money! The worst case scenario is that I will pay for it with my life!"

"Sure?"

Xiong Zengming glanced at Chen Lendong, then returned to looking directly at Chen Wuji, grinning and saying, "Sect Master Chen, are you sure you don't care and let me deal with you as my disciple as I please?"

"Yes, I can do whatever you want, don't force me, Master!" Chen Lindong shouted.

"To shut up."

Chen Wuji glanced at Chen Lendong and said coldly, "I can't come up with 3000 taels of silver at the moment. At least half a month. I will give you 3000 taels in half a month."

"Oh~ Master..." Chen Lindong burst into tears.

Chen Yifan, Han Ying, Su Dayong and others also gritted their teeth.

"Ha ha!"

Xiong Zengming laughed, "I know that Master Chen loves his disciples, but half a month is too long, five days! I'll give you five days to collect money."

As soon as the words changed, he added, "Of course, if you are willing to use the 'Drunk Spring Breeze' wine recipe instead, not only will the 3000 taels be wiped out, I will give you 3000 taels in return."

"In other words, a recipe of 'Drunken Spring Breeze' wine can be priced at 6000 taels of silver! Sect Leader Chen, what do you think..."

"You are dreaming!"

Chen Yifan was the first to blush and said angrily, "Xiong Zengming, you are thinking nonsense!"

"Let me tell you, why is Deputy Gang Leader Xiong so talkative today? It turned out to be the idea of ​​'Drunk Spring Breeze'." Han Ying sneered.

Su Dayong, Duan Zhen, Chen Qingning and others were all filled with righteous indignation.

Chen Wuji was also stunned.

"Drunken Spring Breeze" is the pillar industry of the Chen family and the signature wine of Chenji Restaurant.

Just from selling wine, there is a net profit of tens of thousands taels a year.

Such huge profits cannot be guaranteed by the Chen family.

As early as more than ten years ago, Chenji Restaurant introduced elements from Baishui County.

There are county officials involved.

The Xiong Gang to which Xiong Zengming belonged did not dare to go to the restaurant to cause trouble and plunder the liquor by force.

You know, Xiong Zengming himself is at the seventh level of body refining.

……

Understand why.

Chen Wuji raised his hand to stop the yelling of the disciples, looked at Xiong Zengming, and said expressionlessly, "I accept the kindness of Deputy Gang Leader Xiong. I will definitely collect 3000 taels of silver within five days."

"Okay~ let's go."

Xiong Zengming turned his eyes, raised his feet unwillingly, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'll come back in five days."

"Little ones, let's go~"

Turning around gracefully, Xiong Zengming strode away.

"Go, go."

A group of gangsters shouted and followed behind.

Whoa!

Before one of them left, he dropped a bag of broken dishes.

"The gang leader is mighty!"

"Haha, what a Hidden Dragon Gate, the Hidden Insect Gate is just about the same!"

"Insect Gate! Insect Gate!"
