The location of Qunfang Building is very good.

Next to it is a tributary of a canal, with willow trees growing on both sides.

Although night has fallen, the various pavilions and pavilions on both sides are covered with lanterns, making people unable to feel the coming of darkness.

"Your Majesty, you will go to the carriage at the back later. The carriage is reinforced with iron plates on both sides, and even a crossbow cannot penetrate it."

Wang Xuanwu has received the news that Chen Lei has booked the inn opposite Qunfang Building. Obviously, this is the place where they are most likely to take action.

With the power of the Chen family in Yangzhou, even if they arrest a few people on the street, there are many ways to settle the matter.

"Chen Lei thinks that we are just merchants from Dengzhou, so we should not use crossbows, otherwise we will really be asking for death."

Li Kuan had no intention of taking risks, but with the situation tonight, he didn't think there was much risk.

To put it mildly, this is like a jealous thing.

Who would directly use the ultimate move when they think they are sure to win?

At this time, crossbows were not something that people were allowed to own.

Although many wealthy families actually have this thing, it is different if you own it, use it, and others know about it.

"My lord, it's better to be careful. These salt merchants can do anything. I'm just afraid that Chen Lei will get angry and act recklessly."

Although Xi Junmai is very confident in his own skills, it does not mean that he will support Li Kuan in taking risks.

"Okay, if they have a crossbow, I'll go to the carriage behind."

Li Kuan compromised and refused to embarrass his two men.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At this moment, dozens of people rushed out from the inn ahead and quickly surrounded Li Kuan and others.

This appearance is different from what Li Kuan imagined.

I thought there would be a group of masked men running down from all directions with swords, and then Xi Junmai and Wang Xuanwu would draw their swords and fight them in the street.

Unexpectedly, just like a gangster fight, Chen Lei appeared in front of Li Kuan with dozens of people, either holding sticks or swords.

"Li Jian, I didn't expect you to dare to come to Qunfang Courtyard today. Are you brave enough?"

The redness and swelling on Chen Lei's face have not completely subsided, and when he speaks, he looks like a big pig's head.

"Why, Chen Langjun, you lead so many people to cause trouble in the street, aren't you afraid of being punished by the government?"

The scene in front of him made Li Kuan see Chen Lei a little more clearly.

It seems that he really regards himself as an ordinary Dengzhou businessman.

If he were him, he would simply find a few dead men and find an opportunity to take action. Even if everyone suspected that it was the Chen family who did it, they would have no choice but to leave it alone without evidence.

Of course, this is normal.

If he really gets smarter, he might be even more wrong.

"Hmph, I invite Li Langjun to my house for a few drinks. Is this illegal?"

Chen Lei looked at Li Kuan with a smile, and the scene from last night resounded in his heart.

"What if I don't want to?"

"Haha, then it's not up to you." Chen Lei sneered, "Do it!"

Several subordinates who wanted to show their loyalty immediately went forward to arrest Li Kuan.

However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Xi Jun bought a clever twist and twisted it.

"ah!"

Chen Lei did not see the scene he wanted to see, but found his men crying there.

"Trash! Come on together!"

"Bang!"

I saw some thugs drawing their swords and rushing forward.

Chen Lei just told everyone that if these people in front of you don't eat and drink as a penalty, then you're welcome.

Except for the leader who wants to live, no one else cares about life or death.

Chen Lei, who has grown up in a honeypot since he was a child, has never suffered such a loss. How could he think about it so much?

If he, Aye Chen Wanwan, were at home, he probably would not have resorted to such a simple, direct, and unskilled means of revenge.

For the wealthy and powerful Chen family, they have many options at their disposal.

"Beep!"

Wang Xuanwu drew his sword to protect Li Kuan, and at the same time took out a whistle from his arms.

After the whistle blew, a dozen people from the Intelligence and Investigation Bureau who were ambushing nearby rushed out immediately.

"Bang!"

"puff!"

"ah!"

Xi Junmai was like a tiger descending from the mountain. He injured several of Chen Lei's thugs with a stainless steel sword.

At this time, there is no need to show mercy.

The newly appointed envoy of the dignified imperial court was assassinated in the street. Yes, he was assassinated. As a bodyguard, what else should he keep?

Even if you kill all these people, you don't have to worry about any punishment.

On the contrary, this is still a great achievement.

"These Northerners... are so unruly! You don't have to be polite to me. They don't care about life or death! Chen Qi, you come too!"

When Chen Lei saw the scene in front of him, he immediately became angry.

I saw that the guards around Li Jian had already injured several people on his side.

"Mr. Lang, the guards around Li Jian are so skillful. Is he really an ordinary businessman in Dengzhou Prefecture?"

Chen Qi was arranged by Chen Wanwan to be Chen Lei's personal guard. He had a calm mind and did not rush forward blindly.

"Chen Qi? What do you mean? Do you want to do something? Are you afraid?"

Chen Lei glanced at Chen Qi dissatisfied, a little dissatisfied that he didn't take action immediately after he spoke out.

"Lang Jun, look, something is strange. I think it would be best if we evacuate immediately!"

At this time, more than a dozen people of all kinds rushed out from the surroundings. Some of them were hawkers buying food on the street just now, but now they rushed over with big knives.

Some tourists who were originally scattered also rushed over.

Even the fortune teller found a knife from nowhere and rushed into the crowd.

This time, Chen Lei brought about fifty people, but the situation on the court was already at a clear disadvantage.

"How...how could this happen?"

Chen Lei felt that his brain was not enough.

As a businessman in Dengzhou, how could Li Jian have so many people helping him?

Did he really commit public outrage?

When did the people of Yangzhou City become so enlightened?

How do you feel that everyone is doing something heroic?

"Mr. Lang, leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

After just a few more breaths, the situation on the field had already become one-sided.

Chen Qi didn't wait for Chen Lei to say anything, and quickly pulled Chen Lei towards the inn where he had just been. There was a back door there, so he could get out of the situation as quickly as possible.

However, how could Li Kuan let him succeed?

He assassinated the prince of the Tang Dynasty in the street and was the deposed envoy of the imperial court. He was also caught.

Who else in the entire Yangzhou Prefecture dares to speak for the Chen family?

No matter how much money you received before, you still want to pretend that you don’t know the Chen family at this moment, right?

"Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, the sound of galloping horses came from the distance on Qingshi Street.

If the cavalry is less than a hundred, it will be invincible if there are more than a hundred.

Two hundred guards from the Chu Palace were already rushing in from a distance, fully armed.

At this time, the Chen family's fate was already decided.

If they were charitable and had never done anything bad, then Li Kuan might even give them a way to survive and let them go to Yazhou to open up wasteland.

However, it would be embarrassing if there were bad deeds of murder and arson.

This king can be considered as eliminating harm for the people!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"
