Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 295
Although Liu Ming's worry is not unreasonable, the assumption that "all the thugs in the villa, including the servants, have been silenced"... is still a bit exaggerated.

It is true that Sun Yixie is not a good person, but he will not kill all the people in Murongji's other village with his own hands.

In the final analysis, these people are just employees working under Murong Ji's hands, and they have not committed any crimes that must be killed, so why kill them?

Furthermore, Sun Yixie and Mr. Lu have previously agreed that the bottom line of the local government in this game between the two sides is "don't kill anyone", so Sun Ge will not cross the line unless it is absolutely necessary.

To make a long story short, after some searching, those elite thugs came back and reported that five or six thugs and a dozen servants who stayed in the village were tied up and locked up in the woodshed without any casualties.

However, no loss of personnel does not mean that there is no property...

During the search, the thugs found that the door of the warehouse in the village was broken, and the silver boxes full of silver in the warehouse had disappeared.

Hearing this news, Liu Ming's face was ashamed, while Murong Ji was so shocked that he was half sober from the wine, his face was twitching...

These few boxes of silver were used by him to manage his business and open a casino, which was a huge sum of several thousand taels; once the money was lost, why would he open Huanyi Pavilion?There is not enough travel expenses to bring these dozens of thugs back to their hometown.

"Quickly tell me! What's going on here?" Surprised and annoyed, Murong Ji grabbed a thug who had just untied him by the collar and asked loudly.

"Young...young master... calm down..." The thug replied tremblingly, "It...the thing is like this..." He thought for a few seconds, swallowed his saliva, and then said, "In the evening, Not long after you and Mr. Liu took people away, a group of masked thieves broke into the village. What's the matter... You took most of the people in the village out tonight, and the rest of us couldn't stand it, and those servants and maids were not up to anything, so we were captured by them."

"Then you told them the location of the warehouse?" Murong Ji asked viciously.

"Master! You've wronged us, don't say we don't want to talk, even if we did, the other party didn't ask at all." The thug replied aggrievedly, "After they tied us up and gagged us, They threw them into the woodshed and ignored us, and we don’t know what they were doing outside.”

Hearing this, Murong Ji was so angry that the veins on his forehead protruded. Looking at him like that, it seemed that he was about to beat up the thug in front of him in the next second.

"Master, I think what he said should be the truth." Liu Ming saw the clue, and dissuaded him in a timely manner, "Our Zhuangzi is only that big, and besides, the other party has a lot of people, just search and find out where the warehouse is. Difficult, indeed, there is no need to make any inquiries.”

When he said this, it seemed to suppress Murong Ji's anger a little bit.

After Murong Ji thought for a few seconds, he murmured, and let go of the thug's collar.

"Hmph... What a bunch of trash." But after letting go, he still didn't forget to curse out his anger.

"Master, in my opinion, it's useless to blame them now. It's better to think about how to recover the lost money." Seeing that the young master calmed down a little, Liu Ming continued.

"Hmm..." Murong Ji let out a burst of breath from his nostrils, and continued, "Could it be...Mr. Liu has a clue?"

"That's natural." Liu Ming replied, "Young master, think about it... Although we haven't been in Hangzhou for many days, everyone knows that this villa is already the property of your young master Murong. Just ask ordinary thieves, Who dares to come here to get your ideas?" He paused, "But the group of people who came tonight are numerous and well-prepared, and they just picked the right time for you to go to Sun Yixie. Don't you think...isn't this too coincidental?"

Seeing this, someone might want to talk about it. Does Liu Ming need to point out this kind of thing?Murong Ji himself couldn't think of it?
Harm, as the saying goes, those who are in the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear.

In fact, as long as Murong Ji thinks about it for a while, he will definitely be able to think of it, but at that moment, he suffered a sudden change, he was shocked and angry, and he was still drunk, so his mind must not have turned around so quickly.

As soon as Liu Ming reminded him at this moment, Murong Ji immediately figured it out: "Damn it! That's right! This man surnamed Sun is playing with me tonight?"

"That's right." Liu Ming continued, "From the very beginning, he deliberately put on the posture of 'Hongmen Banquet' to make us feel that he has malicious intentions, so we had to bring a large number of people there, just in case...the result However, he entertained us so well that we had no reason to do anything. He held so many of us by himself... On the other hand, he sent his men to lie in ambush near our village, waiting for us to leave , Let’s get the bottom of the pot.” When he said this, he also showed a bit of annoyed expression, “Oh... I missed a move, and I should have thought about it.”

"Mr. Liu, don't blame yourself." Murong Ji is very anxious at the moment, and he doesn't want to pursue Liu Ming, he just wants to get the money back quickly, "Now that it is known that Sun Yixie did it This matter, that matter should not be delayed, we will rush to the Sun Mansion to settle accounts with him now!"

"No, no, young master...don't be impulsive..." But Liu Ming rejected Murong Ji's idea immediately, "This Sun Yixie is full of tricks and can pretend to be good at acting...Since he has already done this tonight, I'm afraid We already have a perfect countermeasure, if we rush forward immediately, I'm afraid we will fall into his second trick again."

"This..." Murong Ji's face turned red with anger, "Is this the way to go?"

"What this subordinate means is...you might as well wait until dawn tomorrow before making any fuss about it," Liu Ming continued.

Liu Ming's suggestion is undoubtedly correct. Although he doesn't know what "back trick" Sun Yixie is hiding, but based on his current contact with the other party, he has clearly felt the young man's resourcefulness and the city's absolute strength. It's not easy, it's impossible for this kind of person not to think about the situation that Murong Ji will come back tonight and immediately go to counterattack.

"Wait?" When Murong Ji heard the words, his eyes widened and he shouted, "No way! How can I wait?"

"Master..." Liu Ming wanted to persuade him again.

"You don't need to talk about Mr. Liu, I've made up my mind!" But Liu Ming is only a staff officer and bodyguard after all, and Murong Ji was the one who made the final decision, "Brothers! Copy guys! Follow me! Go find that bastard surnamed Sun The egg settles the score!"

When he roared, the thugs around him responded one after another, but... the shouting sound was somewhat weak, after all, this group of people hadn't eaten for five or six hours.

And Liu Ming didn't say anything else, seeing that he couldn't persuade the young master, he could only go along with him.

Of course, his compromise was also deliberate.

Liu Ming judged from the fact that Sun Yixie didn't embarrass these servants in Zhuang Nei. The other party should not be the kind of rogue who has no bottom line, at least he won't kill people easily, so no matter what, Murong will not be in danger of his life if he goes there. ,This is enough.

If Murong Ji might die this time, then Liu Ming would rather stop him than knock him out.

…………

The ugly hour is approaching, that is, before one o'clock in the morning.

At this time, in the middle of the night, basically everyone is asleep.

But tonight, on the streets of Hangzhou, there are dozens of people and a carriage still running.

It was Murong Ji who led Liu Ming and dozens of elite thugs under him, carrying torches, sticks, and machetes... hurriedly rushing to the Sun Mansion.

This time, Mr. Murong simply brought all the thugs except the servants and maids. Anyway, his village has already been robbed, so there is nothing to guard.

clap clap-

When he came to the gate of the Sun Mansion, Murong Ji didn't need his thugs to step forward, he just rushed down from the carriage, went straight to the door, and slapped him with his hands raised.

While patting and cursing: "Sun Yixie! You sneaky bastard! Get out of here!"

click -

As soon as he yelled the first curse, the small door next to him opened, as if someone was already there waiting for him to come.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Murong? It's the middle of the night, what is this for?" It was Sun Yixie himself who came out to answer.

"You still dare to ask knowingly?" Murong Ji's blood vessels were about to burst, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves to rush up and beat someone.

"Master!" Liu Ming hurriedly grabbed him from the side, "Don't be impulsive..."

Murong Ji, who was stopped by him, stopped in his tracks, but still stared at Sun Yixie: "The surname is Sun! You turned the tiger away from the mountain and robbed me of my money! Quickly return my money!"

"Ah?" Sun Yixie immediately revealed a look of cheapness when he heard the words, and answered the word with a half-smile, then he paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Where did Brother Murong say that?" ? Why can't I understand?"

"You fucking..." Murong Ji took a few steps forward as if he was going to bite someone.

Liu Ming couldn't hold him anymore, so he could only pull him and turned his head to Sun Yixie and said quickly: "Mr. Sun, you are a smart person, and I won't tell you anything... In a word, if you still wish to be with him If our Murong family makes friends, then we will return the money, we will only treat it as a joke, and the terms discussed at the West Lake Lounge tonight still count!"

"Hehehe...a joke?" Sun Yixie did laugh, but it was just a sneer, "Smashing my restaurant, beating my people, rushing into my fish market, disrupting my business...all of them Are you kidding?"

"Sun Gongzi, it was all a misunderstanding before..." Liu Ming still wanted to resolve it peacefully.

But at this moment, Sun Yixie directly interrupted him: "Is it a misunderstanding, or is it a joke, what you say doesn't count..."

At this point in his words, suddenly, outside the Sun Mansion, a large group of officers and soldiers poured out from the dark places in the streets and alleys, equipped with swords and crossbows, and surrounded Murong Ji and his group in the blink of an eye.

Even though Murong Ji's thugs were usually domineering, they did not dare to act rashly after seeing this battle.

"It's the middle of the night, why is there such a big fuss?" After a breath, the prefect Lu Wen appeared on stage accompanied by his master and Hu Butou.

"Grassmen... see Mr. Lu!" Sun Yixie also pretended to salute loudly at the first moment.

"I've seen Mr. Lu..." Murong Ji and Liu Ming saw the situation and could only say obeisance first.

No matter how deep their Murong family's background is, they are just commoners on the surface, and it is impossible for them to be rude to a chief executive of the prefect's level in full view.

"Well... the government received a report that someone here intends to commit murder, what's going on?" Lu Wen asked immediately.

In fact, everyone understands that when he appears here at this moment, he must have colluded with Sun Yixie. Why did he just arrive and didn't do anything, and you have already received a report and arrived at the scene?
But pretend, he still has to pretend...

"My lord, it was the grassroots who sent people to report the case." The next second, Sun Yixie followed suit and opened his mouth, "My lord, you have also seen... this Mr. Murong is holding a group of evil slaves, armed with murder weapons, They wanted to break into my house, and asked me for money as soon as they opened their mouths... I was afraid that they wanted to steal money and kill people, and destroy my entire family, so I hurriedly sent someone to the government to call for help. Fortunately, my lord arrived in time and rescued me from danger. Your Excellency is really the reborn parent of my people in Hangzhou, Qingtian is alive!"

After hearing this, Murong Ji was dumbfounded: Is there any fucking law?You robbed my village first, and now you are still coming to yell and catch the thieves, turning black and white, and beating them upside down?
"You! Your surname is Sun, don't spout blood! It's clear that you first sent people to my villa to rob me of several thousand taels of silver, and I'm just here to go back!" Murong Ji hurriedly called out to himself.

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Lu Wen replied, while looking at Sun Ge.

"My lord, I don't even know what he's talking about." Sun Yixie replied to Lu Wen without changing his face, and then put on his cheap expression and said to Murong Ji, "If Brother Murong's family If you are caught by a thief, then you should report to the police, what do you come to me for? What evidence do you have to prove that I 'sent someone to rob your money'?"

"I..." Murong Ji was at a loss for words for a while, and only then did he belatedly realize a serious problem - the people Sun Yixie sent were all masked, and they didn't talk to the subdued thugs at all. In other words, the group of "thieves" who robbed Murong Ji... No matter their appearance or voice, Murong Ji's subordinates didn't know who to point out even if they wanted to identify the people in the Sun House.

"That group of thieves came prepared to pick our young master to take people out for a banquet tonight, and the village was empty..." At this time, Liu Ming took the lead, trying to use logic to fight against Sun Yixie, "And the one who knows when our young master will go to the banquet, except for our own people, is you, Mr. Sun."

"Ha!" But Sun Yixie didn't panic at all, "Joke!" He immediately argued, "Couldn't it be that a group of thieves have been watching your Zhuangzi all the time, and then just waited for an empty opportunity to strike tonight? Besides Well, I am inviting you young master to dinner, not inviting him to fight in groups. How do I know how many people he will bring? But the so-called "insiders" you mentioned may know, so they are more suspected of colluding with outsiders and guarding against themselves, aren't they? ?"

"Uh..." Now even Liu Ming didn't know how to argue. In the final analysis, it was difficult for them to refute each other with only speculation since they had almost no evidence.

"The surname is Sun! What are you pretending to be?" Murong Ji became anxious again, "In this entire city of Hangzhou, besides you, Sun Yixie, who else would dare to attack my Murong Ji? If you have the ability, let me go now Search your house, my money must be inside!"

"Heh..." Sun Yixie smiled, "That's right... what do you mean to hit you? Our Sun family is from a scholarly family. Although I, Sun Yixie, am not talented, I didn't get any fame. I’m a businessman, but I’m doing legitimate business, and I’m not involved in casinos...how come you, a casino owner, say that I’m a bully and a bandit instead?” He paused, “And , our Sun family is considered to have a head and face in Hangzhou, and now you are falsely accusing me of robbery without any evidence, and even searched my house privately... Are you not treating our Master Lu as a human being?"

"Well, what Nephew Sun Xian said is reasonable." Lu Wen also echoed at this time, "Young Master Murong, not to mention that you have no evidence to prove that Nephew Sun Xian robbed your money, even if there is... this search It should also be the responsibility of our government, it is very difficult for me to do this if you bring your servants here to make trouble."

It's over, totally lost.

This was the only thought in Liu Ming's mind at the moment.

Liu Ming is a person who knows himself and knows how to judge the situation; when the situation has come to this point, he is very clear that it is impossible for Murong Ji to fight this Sun Yixie... let alone Murong Ji, even if the Murong family If the Patriarch came here in person, I'm afraid it would be too much.

He also finally understood why the "East Harmony and West Poison" who had become famous in the Jianghu in recent years could have such a status in the Jianghu by relying on things other than martial arts.

"Young master...it's not appropriate to argue about this matter today. Let's go back first and discuss it in the long run..." A few seconds later, Liu Ming hurriedly whispered in Murong Ji's ear, trying to get rid of him before he said more words that would give others a reason. Let him withdraw.

When Murong Ji heard this, he was so incompetent and furious, he could only stare at Sun Yixie and say another sentence before leaving: "Sun, Yi, Xie! Just remember, this is never over!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and hugged Master Lu, wanting to take him away.

"Wait a minute!" But how could Sun Yixie let him go.

"What else do you want?" At this moment, even Liu Ming was a little angry; in his opinion, Sun Yixie robbed them of thousands of taels of silver tonight, and then exploded them intellectually, and made them lose face , All the properties and venues lost before should be recovered, no matter how aggressive you are, it will be over.

"Mr. Liu, don't get angry." Sun Yixie said, "I see Brother Murong is still dissatisfied tonight, so I want to give him a chance...'Win it all back'."

"No need..." Liu Minggang was about to refuse.

However, Murong Ji seemed to have heard some key words, and turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Hehe..." Seeing him taking the bait, Sun Yixie continued, "I heard that, Brother Murong, you have a nickname in the world of 'Gambling Overlord'. It's usually fun to play with both hands, but I don't have any idea about my own level, and I always want to find a master to compete..."

"You want to compete with me in gambling skills?" Murong Ji asked.

"That's right~" Sun Yixie replied, "Master Lu is also here today, so you can give us a testimony. We might as well make an appointment here to make a public bet..." He paused slightly After half a second, he said again, "If I lose, I will pay you as much as Brother Murong was robbed by those thieves tonight, and I will do everything I promised to do for you in the West Lake Lounge earlier; but Murong If brother loses..."

"If I lose, I will leave Hangzhou immediately and never set foot here again!" Before Brother Sun could finish speaking, Murong Ji continued the sentence in a confident and firm tone.
