Chapter 52: Bloodless Method
"Guard?"
Lu Qian and Li Xiaoran were slightly stunned.
The young man in front of him was named Lu Dinghai, and he was the third child of the patriarch of the Lu family.
He started to be involved in the Lu family's business at a young age, and his own abilities have gradually been recognized in the past few years. He is quite impressive.
He has become an indispensable member of the Lu family.
Lu Qian serves Lu Dinghai and is Lu Dinghai's confidant.
It was precisely because of this reason that he was able to take full control of Ruyi Tea Shop.
Therefore, neither of them had any doubts about Lu Dinghai's words.
The reason they were stunned was that they had never imagined that all the problems would arise from an inconspicuous guard.
A guard didn't say a word from the beginning to the end of the banquet. Who would notice this?
Li Xiaoran thought about it, and suddenly he realized, "Master, do you remember I once said that the guard looked very familiar to me?"
Lu Qian nodded subconsciously, "What's wrong with that?"
Li Xiaoran said: "I always feel like I've seen him somewhere, but I can't remember where."
"Third Master, that guard, and Hu Guang who has been looking after the Changyuan Tea Shop recently, who are they?"
Lu Dinghai did not answer, but opened the paper fan again and walked to the main seat and sat down.
He glanced at Lu Qian and said calmly: "I don't know the true identity of this guard."
"It's just because, when Changyuan Tea Shop opened, I also went there to watch, and I also saw your clumsy behavior, Li Xiaoran."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoran lowered his head in shame.
"I'm sorry, Third Young Master, I disappoint you."
Lu Dinghai said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, it's all over."
"The reason why I bring up the past is because I thought Qin Wenyuan was a formidable enemy at the time. It was impossible for him to be defeated by us in one encounter like what happened to Yongen Tea Shop back then."
"I think Qin Wenyuan is amazing, but..."
Lu Dinghai narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "A master who was traveling with me at the time told me that Hu Guang and the guard beside him were the most powerful."
"As long as nothing unexpected happens, as long as the Lu family doesn't take the tea shop matter to heart, and Lu Qian is the only one to fight, our Ruyi Tea Shop will definitely be brought down by these two people!"
"I didn't take it to heart at the time, but now..."
"But it's too late to regret."
Lu Dinghai sighed, "The master has left Chang'an. I have sent someone to leave Chang'an to invite him over."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the master will return to Chang'an in the near future to help us deal with those two terrible people."
The words fell.
Lu Qian and Li Xiaoran were shocked .
Neither of them expected that someone had guessed their failure today.
Lu Qian took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "Third Young Master, what should we do next?"
"what to do……"
Lu Dinghai laughed at himself, looked at Lu Qian meaningfully, and said calmly: "You, don't know what's going on in Bingzhou yet?"
Lu Qian shook his head.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, "Could it be that the Third Young Master has already found out? He knows what Qin Wenyuan did in Bingzhou?"
Lu Dinghai did not answer, but put away the paper fan and said: "Lu Qian, Lu Qian, I have high expectations of you."
"At that time, the master said that I must pay attention to Changyuan Tea Shop, but because you are in charge of Ruyi Tea Shop, I didn't take it to heart."
"But what about you? In less than four days, you have killed dozens of my loyal warriors, and you... have black eyes and don't even know what Qin Wenyuan is doing in Bingzhou now!"
By the end, Lu Dinghai was already angry.
This was the first time this handsome young man felt angry since he stepped into this place!
Lu Qian was horrified and quickly knelt down and said, "Third Master, please forgive me. I... I..."
After talking for a long time, Lu Qian still didn't know how to refute.
Lu Dinghai looked at Lu Qian deeply and sighed, "Forget it, this incident also made me know your true ability."
"Lin Yi, bring the things up."
Soon, a guard came in carrying a box.
The box is made of wood, sandalwood, and is very expensive.
The appearance is also very ornamental.
"Lu Qian, go open it and take a look yourself." Lu Dinghai said lightly.
Lu Qian stepped forward and opened the box.
"ah!!"
Suddenly, he was startled, subconsciously took a few steps back, and sat down on the floor.
Seeing this posture, Lu Dinghai shook his head.
When I looked inside the box, I found a human head! !
Bloody head!!
"This is our Ruyi Tea Shop, located in Dahe County, Bingzhou. The owner of the tea shop is called Li Lu."
"He was also my confidant. Now that he's dead, Lu Qian, you should know what Qin Wenyuan is hinting at you, right?"
Lu Dinghai still maintained that calm and composed demeanor, as if nothing could move him.
Lu Qian nodded vigorously.
Li Lu, like him, was the owner of Ruyi Tea Shop, the only difference was that his surname was Li.
And he died because of this!
Lu Qian knew that this was Qin Wenyuan's hint to him not to interfere in the affairs of Changyuan Tea Shop anymore.
Otherwise, this is the reference!!
At this moment, Lu Qian's lips were trembling. He didn't know that Qin Wenyuan would be so cruel!
"Third Young Master, do we... still need to take action against Changyuan Tea Shop?" Lu Qian asked tremblingly.
Lu Dinghai nodded without thinking, "Of course, tea is not like three meals a day, but it can be consumed before or after meals, so there are huge business opportunities."
"Its status is probably at least comparable to that of wine. And nowadays, there are many wine merchants. In Chang'an alone, there are hundreds of them."
"But this tea..."
Lu Dinghai smiled slightly, "But there are only four."
"Other noble families don't care and think that merchants are inferior, but they don't know that merchants are the fastest way to expand influence, because the various items sold by merchants are closely related to the lives of the people."
"The tea from our Ruyi Tea Shop cannot be sold because our tea is not good. As long as we have the tea from Changyuan Tea Shop, our Ruyi Tea Shop can expand at the fastest speed."
"Add to that the influence of my Lu family. In the future, everyone in Chang'an City will know that the tea from Lu's Ruyi Tea Shop is of the highest quality!"
"So, we must get our hands on the tea from Changyuan Tea House."
"Your strategy was wrong before. Merchants go out for money."
"Therefore..."
Lu Dinghai smiled and continued, "Before the master arrives, let's try to see if we can buy the tea-making formula from Qin Wenyuan directly."
"In a way that does not involve bloodshed."
