Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 98 Sounds the horn of counterattack
Zhang Chen walked slowly back to the inn after dinner, and saw the scholar moaning in pain after entering the gate.

After walking to the long table and sitting down, he asked suspiciously to Bai Zhantang next to him:

"Brother Xiucai, what's the matter?"

Bai Zhantang spread his hands and said with a smile:

"It's all about the money!"

"Scholar was hit"

Immediately, he told Zhang Chen what happened after the dinner, and Zhang Chen leaned into Xiucai's ear and said softly:
"Brother Xiucai, don't worry, what if all those things are yours later!"

The scholar suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, staring at Zhang Chen with red eyes, Zhang Chen glanced upstairs with a mysterious smile but didn't say much.

The scholar understood Zhang Chen's hint, and quickly stood up and said arrogantly:
"Hmph! Who cares?"

Before leaving, he gave Zhang Chen a few looks, which contained strong expectations.

After Xiucai left, Zhang Chen and the three of them rushed to the backyard when Dazui didn't react, leaving Dazui alone to clean up the mess.

The three who had escaped were leaning against the millstone in the backyard. Zhang Chen told Guo Furong to be on guard for four weeks and then said:
"Not long after I went out, I met Xiaocui, a maid from the opposite restaurant on the street, and he has a lot to do with Hu Shiniang's entourage."

Guo Furong, who was on guard all around, heard about this little Cui, and immediately said:
"I didn't like her arrogant expression at the beginning, she really has a problem"

The other two rolled their eyes, and thought at the same time, "You obviously didn't like her because of her rude words at that time."

After waving his hand to signal her not to interrupt, after being alert, Zhang Chen said solemnly:
"Everyone be careful, this time they are not ordinary people"

Seeing Zhang Chen's solemn expression, Bai Zhantang said in disbelief:

"You can't handle things here?"

Seeing Bai Zhantang's confidence in him, Zhang Chen raised his chest unconsciously. After a while, he felt something was wrong, and quickly returned to his normal posture.

Then he told the two of the conversation he heard in the hidden courtyard. After carefully understanding the situation, the two people paid attention to completely different places.

Guo Furong was very emotional and shouted:
"I just said that the maid Xiaocui is not a thing, and she still wants to mess with us? Don't let me meet her next time, or I will kill her with a picture."

Seeing that Guo Furong's focus was a bit off and he missed the point, Zhang Chen had no choice but to look expectantly at Bai Zhantang, who was in deep thought. Seriously, he still gave people a sense of reliability.

Bai Zhantang pondered for a long time, frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Based on the information you found today, this organization is not simple. You can see how rich and powerful this organization is from the Yihong Restaurant alone."

"But I know all the well-known organizations in Jianghu, and they can't find any similarities with those organizations. Could it be a shadow hidden in the water?"

Bai Zhantang's analysis was in place, seeing Xiao Guo looking outside the courtyard, Zhang Chen quietly wrote the words "Team Boat Club" on the mopan, and then pointed to the sky.

After Bai Zhantang saw it clearly, his eyes flashed and he didn't speak. He mouthed to let Zhang Chen understand that he was saying he understood.

Immediately, the two of them tacitly agreed not to bring up this matter again. Seeing Guo Furong looking around with a vigorous look, Zhang Chen rolled his eyes and said with a smile:

"Miss Guo, do me a favor!"

Guo Furong heard the words and hurried to Zhang Chen's side to say that she would definitely help, and told him not to be tricky.

Her active performance made Zhang Chen feel more at ease. Only by acting in her true colors can others not see her flaws, and Guo Furong can definitely do this.

Then he told the three of his plan, and when Guo Furong heard that they could fight, she was eager to try and said that she could.

Bai Zhantang said with some worry:
"Don't forget that there are shopkeepers, Dazui and Xiucai who don't know martial arts, if Hu Shiniang really has kung fu, what will they do if they fight?"

Regarding this point, Zhang Chen pointed to the jewelry shop facing the street outside the courtyard, and said:
"The jewelry store outside the door has already greeted the owner when I came back. There will be a huge discount in this jewelry store tomorrow. Do you think the shopkeeper will go? Let Xiucai and Dazui follow suit and solve the problem." up"

"Let's take this opportunity to test this Hu Shiniang. Sister Guo, you will break in tomorrow on the grounds of giving her those treasures, and test her reactions and actions. We will support you later."

Guo Furong nodded excitedly, and ran back to the house to prepare for tomorrow's action.

When Bai Zhantang saw Guo Furong leave and there were only two people left, he said:
"It won't be dangerous to do this, right? Why do you want Xiao Guo to go?"

After giving Bai Zhantang a reassuring look, Zhang Chen explained:
"According to the current situation, they know the identities of you and me, so now we can't act rashly, but Miss Guo is not in their attention, we can just know if this Hu Shiniang can hold back"

Then he looked at the opposite restaurant and said again:
"And tomorrow I'll see what other arrangements they have. I'll ask Brother Bai to support me in the inn. Don't let her take advantage of it."

Bai Zhantang shook his head indifferently when he heard the words, obviously saying that this is what he should do, so don't be so polite.

Immediately, the two left the Baizhan Hall in the backyard and returned to the lobby as usual. Zhang Chen did not rest at the inn these days, but returned to his home to rest.

He wanted to see how that Hu Shiniang would react when he saw that he was not in the inn. It would be interesting if it was really for him.

the next day!
Tong Xiangyu left the inn with Dazui and Xiucai early in the morning, but Zhang Chen even met them on the street after leaving home.

This was beyond Zhang Chen's expectation. Tong Xiangyu smiled and said after meeting Zhang Chen:

"I happened to meet Xiaochen, let's go and see the excitement"

"I heard that several nearby shops jointly held an event last night, and the price was several percent lower than before."

Tong Xiangyu's words explained why she walked out of the inn so early, but Zhang Chen still pretended to be puzzled and asked:

"The customers in the store?"

Tong Xiangyu turned her head indifferently to motion for Xiucai to answer, and Xiucai held a thick bamboo basket and said with difficulty:
"There are Xiao Guo and Lao Bai in the inn, and that one is probably still awake."

Seeing Xiucai struggling to hold the bamboo basket and following Tong Xiangyu with difficulty, Zhang Chen motioned for Dazui to help, didn't you see that Xiucai couldn't hold it?
With a big mouth full of innocence, he said:

"You can't blame me for not helping him. This is the shopkeeper's punishment for him. Who made him jump on those treasures when they arrived in the morning?"

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he didn't expect the things to be delivered so early, and he patted Xiucai on the shoulder as a cheering gesture.

Immediately, he turned around and disappeared among the pedestrians on the street, causing Xiucai to swallow back his words of asking for help, so he had no choice but to continue shopping with Tong Xiangyu.

　Thanks for the support!
