Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch.

Chapter 993 Brother, you go ahead!
Because the road in Yunjia Village was wide, many farmers would set up stalls on both sides of the street with their goods. Over time, a rather lively market was formed here.

If it were any other powerful family, they would have driven away these unruly people who took advantage of their family long ago, but the Yun family was different.

Not only did Yun Hou not drive people away, but he also provided these farmers with many conveniences, causing the market to become larger and larger and more famous.

Today, the Yunjiazhuang Market has gained great fame in Chang'an. The market days have changed from the first and fifteenth day of each month to once every seven days, and later to once a day.

As the number of transactions at the market increased, the county government had no choice but to set up a market near the Yun family to manage these businesses.

According to the Yun family's requirements, merchants need to pay taxes at a rate of 15%, but farmers do not need to pay taxes. This was Yun Ye's special request. He had given farmers a lot of convenience in the first place just to give them some convenience.

Although the scale of the market has become exaggerated nowadays, Yun Ye’s original intention remains unchanged.

It's a pity that this original intention not only made the farmers of Yunjiazhuang grateful, but also made it more convenient for some people with ulterior motives to do things, the fish market opened by farmer Chow Tai Fook was one of them.

This fish market has been open in Yunjiazhuang for a long time. Chow Tai Fook collects fish from fishermen every day and sells them to make a profit.

Of course, the fish is killed and the bones are removed. This is its added value. The buyer only needs to buy the killed fish and cook it by himself.

Due to Chow Tai Fook's superb knife skills and excellent service, the farmers are full of praise for his fish. The Lian Yun family also likes it very much and sends servants to buy it almost every day, saying that the old grandmother in the family likes it very much.

On this day, Chow Tai Fook stood at the door of the fish shop, wearing an apron, chatting with acquaintances around him.

He seemed to be smiling and engaged in the conversation, but in fact he was always glancing at the street market out of the corner of his eye, as if he was waiting for something.

Suddenly, two familiar figures came into view. One of them was a handsome young man dressed in white with a refined temperament. The other one looked a little younger than the former, but was also an outstanding and elegant young man.

When he saw these two familiar faces, Zhou Dafu's pupils suddenly shrank and a feeling of disbelief rose in his heart.

...It's Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian? !
What’s going on? Why is Yun Ye appearing at the Yun family market?
Could it be that that brat Dou Yanshan failed?
Chow Tai Fook was filled with turmoil.

He suppressed his fear and did not look at the two men. He chatted with the acquaintance in front of him for a few words, then turned around and hurried into the fish shop.

Before Chow Tai Fook's back disappeared into the fish shop, the young man in white seemed to sense something and turned his head to look over here.

Yun Ye did not notice Lin Zhongtian's actions at first, and laughed softly: "You should have seen Dou Yanshan's appearance at that time. To be honest, I really wanted to say 'I am Iron Man' in front of him, but unfortunately, you were not here, no one understood the joke, and it was a little less interesting..."

Having said this, Yun Ye finally noticed Lin Zhongtian's gaze.

He frowned and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Lin Zhongtian pointed at the fish shop and asked softly, "Do you remember this shop?"

Yun Ye looked in the direction of his finger and immediately smiled and said, "Of course, we buy all the fish at home from this store. I remember the owner's name is Zhou Dafu. Among the several fish stores in Yunjiazhuang, his knife skills are the best."

"I heard that he can remove all the big bones from a fish without damaging the fish meat, thus preserving the maximum weight."

Lin Zhongtian nodded thoughtfully and said, "He is indeed quite capable... Tell me again, what is his name?"

"week--"

Before he could finish, Yun Ye's voice suddenly stopped.

The smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a gloomy look.

He finally remembered that before, when the young man left by the stream, Dou Yanshan had said something, in which he mentioned a person, whom Dou Yanshan called Zhou Bo.

"Uncle Zhou... Zhou..."

Yun Ye's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes as he looked at the fish shop.

If Zhou Dafu from this fish shop is the Zhou Bo mentioned by Dou Yanshan, then wouldn’t he and the Yun family be in danger every day?

After all, since the fish shop opened, the Yun family has been getting their fish from Chow Tai Fook. If Chow Tai Fook wants to do anything, it can do it at any time.

If the problem is not found at home, won’t the whole family be in trouble?

Thinking of this, Yun Ye clenched his fists and subconsciously wanted to go over.

Lin Zhongtian raised his hand to hold him, and whispered: "Don't worry, from what Dou Yanshan said, this young man and Zhou Bo are not in the same group with them, they just came together because of the same goal."

Yun Ye frowned and said: "But..."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Don't worry, the fish shop will definitely be checked, but when it comes to threats, the young man is still the greater threat."

Yun Ye thought about it, turned his head and looked towards the market, and with a quick glance, he locked his eyes on an old man selling vegetables in the market.

He walked up and greeted the old man with a smile.

"Old Liu, how's business today?"

"Master Hou?!"

The old man's eyes lit up, and he quickly handed the packed dishes to the customer, saying with a bright smile, "Thanks to you, they're all sold out!"

Yun Ye raised his eyebrows and pointed at the food on the stall, wondering, "What is this?"

The old man smiled and said, "I'm selling this for others. I'm earning my hard-earned money, so I'll take a percentage of the profit."

Yun Ye smiled and said, "Oh, there is such a business. You are the first one, right?"

The old man chuckled and whispered, "To be honest, my Lord, all the buyers in this market know my reputation. The vegetables I sell are absolutely fresh, so other vegetable sellers will ask me for help..." Yun Ye rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Oh, OEM, right?"

The old man was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Yun Ye meant.

However, he could see that Yun Ye was somewhat dissatisfied, so he quickly explained: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, although I bought it for others, I can't ruin my reputation. The vegetables I bought are all very fresh, and I never pass them off as inferior ones."

Yun Ye stared at him for a while, then said with a smile, "Okay, I will definitely trust you. The Yun family will take care of all these dishes. Please go to the Marquis' Mansion and send these dishes to the kitchen."

Hearing Yun Ye's words, the old man was not surprised, but was stunned.

When he came to his senses, the old man seemed to understand something. He quickly drove away the other guests, came in front of Yun Ye, and lowered his voice.

"What do you want, my Lord?"

Yun Ye smiled slightly and whispered, "Please help me pass a message to the government, and ask them to send people to the market to keep an eye on Chow Tai Fook's fish shop. I want to see what he will do."

“Chow Tai Fook?”

The old man was startled for a moment, then narrowed his eyes with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Hmph, you are such an ungrateful traitor. Lord, don't worry, I will go and tell you the news right away, just wait!"

"Bring the food with you, don't alert the enemy."

As Yun Ye spoke, he took out the silver and handed it to the old man.

The old man took it and then called his grandson who was playing nearby. The grandfather and grandson packed up the dishes and drove the cart to the Yun Mansion.

Lin Zhongtian came to Yun Ye and looked at the grandfather and grandson who were leaving, as if thinking about something.

Yun Ye glanced at him and whispered, "Don't worry, this man is trustworthy."

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "I know. He was the one who showed me the way when I came to the Yun family. If I remember correctly, he should be the old neighbor of the old lady when she was in trouble, right?"

"Yes."

Yun Ye smiled and turned to look at a butcher shop on the edge of the market.

"Let's go, it's time to go meet that boy!"

Lin Zhongtian nodded, and the two of them walked into the butcher shop.

It is called a butcher's shop, but it is actually just a small courtyard with a simple shop outside the courtyard. There is no pork hung on the iron hooks on the shop, but you can still vaguely smell the strong smell of blood.

When they opened the door, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old appeared in front of them.

At this time, there was a two-hundred-pound fat pig hanging on a rack in the yard. The young man stood in front of the fat pig, holding a boning knife, and skillfully cut open the fat pig's belly, letting the intestines, pig lungs and other things fall into the basin.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open, the young man raised his eyebrows, gripped the boning knife tightly in his right hand, and turned to look.

When he saw Yun Ye who was intact, the young man was slightly stunned and seemed frightened.

When he saw the young man in white walking out from behind Yun Ye, the boy turned around in shock, pointing the boning knife in his hand forward, and his eagle-like sharp eyes stared at every move of the young man in white.

Yun Ye looked him up and down and said with a smile: "Hello, we meet again~"

Before he finished his words, the young man suddenly slapped the wall, turned around and jumped towards the roof, apparently planning to escape.

Yun Ye was slightly stunned and was about to speak when three bent bamboo poles immediately stood up in the gravel yard in front of him and whipped towards Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian who were at the door.

"Wow, there's a mechanism?" Yun Ye curled his lips and said excitedly, "Brother, don't move, let me do it!"

As he spoke, Yun Ye raised his hand and pushed forward, and his masculine internal force gushed out, instantly shattering the three bamboo poles that were pulled over.

After doing all this, Yun Ye kicked his feet and jumped two or three meters high, intending to chase the boy who climbed over the wall.

But at this moment, Lin Zhongtian suddenly reached out and pulled him, pulling him from mid-air to the ground.

Yun Ye's butt hit the ground hard, but he didn't care about the pain and immediately stared at Lin Zhongtian with wide eyes.

"……what's going on?"

Lin Zhongtian did not reply, but put his right palm together and swung it upwards like a knife.

With just a slight sound, a rope that was stretched straight, thin and tough enough to be barely discernible with the naked eye was cut in half by the internal energy. The two broken pieces lashed to both sides under the elastic force, easily leaving a bloody mark on the fat pig on the rack.

Seeing this scene, Yun Ye was shocked, followed by a feeling of fear.

He is unable to protect his body with his internal energy now. If Lin Zhongtian hadn’t stopped him, he would probably have hit the thin rope!

"This brat is so damn mean!"

Yun Ye cursed loudly, and then said angrily: "Senior Brother, come on!"

Lin Zhongtian rolled his eyes, jumped up, and disappeared from Yun Ye's sight like a wisp of breeze.
