Chapter Forty Can You Say It Again?(1/2)
Ouyang killed the doctor. Part of the reason why he stepped forward to challenge him was because he wanted to fight, but the other part of the reason was very simple.
After arriving at Liyue Port, he had no clue about the mission assigned to him by Her Majesty the Queen.
Feeling depressed, he wanted to find someone to fight with to relieve his stress.
Naturally, Ouyang is a very good challenger.
This choice was made after some thought. Being able to kill the doctor means that at least he is strong enough, and he is also the head of the noble family who lives in Yujingtai. If he can defeat the opponent, then he can be regarded as a famous fool in Liyue Port.
.
But at first he really just wanted to challenge, not kill the opponent.
He is not stupid enough to invite someone in person if he wants to kill him. He is not a knight of Mondstadt. He wants to kill someone but still insists on a high-sounding duel.
Really, he just wanted to have a fight with Ouyang, without any personal grudges.
He was still aware of Her Majesty the Queen's ban five years ago, and the pitiful collegiality among the Fools' executive officers was not enough for him to avenge the Doctor.
The change of mind started when he saw the disabled Ouyang. Seeing him like a cripple made Dadalia feel uncomfortable.
After all, the doctor is also an executive of the Fools, but his murderer is such a person that he is a little concerned about Ouyang and the existence of your family.
At that glance before leaving, he thought that neither the Gui family nor Ouyang should continue to exist, because the now disabled Ouyang was like a silent mockery of Zhi Dong and fools.
I'm disabled, but you can't do anything to me!
So he walked very gracefully when he left, and even on the way back, he had already thought about how to secretly get rid of this being who had tarnished the reputation of the Fools.
But now...what have I done?
His thoughts were brought back, Dadalia knew that some things could never be postponed.
"Gather all your strength, I will give you one night to investigate all the information about your family Ouyang, that's all! Go quickly!"
"Uh...yes, Mr. Executive Officer!"
The debt collector was a little confused, but seeing the serious look on the young master's face, he obeyed the order and left immediately.
After his men left and the office became quiet again, Dadalia sat on a chair and began to think.
For now, find a suitable opportunity, or an entry point, and meet with Ouyang as soon as possible to unravel what happened today.
And the earlier the better. As one of the Seven Stars, Ouyang's actions today were almost insulting in person.
No...I seem to be calling him a cripple...
Recalling what he did today, Dadalia facepalmed again.
Unfortunately, he understood that there was too little information about Ouyang now, so in order not to make things worse, he could only wait patiently.
As the sun sets, the office begins to get dark.
snap——
Turn on the light on the table, and the firelight illuminates this small space.
There is an old saying in Liyue that people should not be judged by their appearance.
Thinking of this, Dadalia cheered up again.
As a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, this mistake did not make him feel frustrated. Instead, he understood that he needed to be careful in handling this trip to Liyue.
At night, in a restaurant in Feiyunpo, some owners of small business associations gathered here.
This was originally a routine gathering. A date was always agreed in advance every month for everyone to get together and exchange information. It was also considered a very loose alliance.
In the past years, not many people participated. Although each company's business was different, since they were not big chambers of commerce, everyone used various tricks to seize the remaining shares.
Therefore, although some people have suggested joining forces in previous years, the results have not been great. This kind of monthly gathering often comes with two types of people.
One type is those who have eaten some portion and come here to show off.
One is those who are about to be desperate and try their luck.
Others will basically not come here. When doing business, Liyue people mostly focus on making a fortune in silence. After all, there are only a few people who are willing to come here to show off.
And because most of the people at the party were those two types of people, the atmosphere gradually changed. Those who came to show off were like victorious generals, pointing out the country while changing glasses, showing their domineering attitude, while those who wanted something were all flattering.
The ability to flatter, flatter and laugh.
It's all a boring fun.
Therefore, those businessmen who just came to inquire about information were unwilling to come.
But today is different. As soon as the news on the bulletin board spread this morning, panic spread among the businessmen.
Everyone knew that things were not simple this time. Even the blind and deaf, no matter how slow their reactions were, they knew something big was going on after the Qianyan Army guarded various intersections and shouted "Martial Law".
Ordinary people are not very aware of this, and just regard it as a source of gossip, because many people whose families are engaged in mining have also been informed by Qianyanjun that nothing serious has happened to the miners, but that they are currently under management.
But it's different among businessmen.
After a day of fermentation, many of them were frightened and spontaneously chose to get together, hoping to communicate with each other before martial law at night.
Most of their panic comes from the unknown.
The news of the closure of the Strata Abyss is so shocking. It is like cutting off the roots of countless businessmen. This is a major event that can really affect many people's bankruptcy!
The current situation is that most of the ore on the market has been taken away by the Huishan Department and placed in the warehouse of the General Affairs Department. The news released is that anyone who wants to buy or sell ore can apply to the General Affairs Department, but only
Can be purchased in limited quantities.
This set of rules will be implemented for two weeks.
Although none of the merchants whose ores have been taken away have lost money, after all, Huishan Hall was given to Mora, but now no one knows whether they will still be able to obtain the source of goods for sale in two weeks.
Even though many people think that things will be fine after two weeks, no one dares to bet on this as it concerns their own lives and wealth. More importantly, the announcement only mentioned the seven-star investigation and did not say when it would be resumed.
Therefore, although there were the largest number of people attending the party today, the dinner table was the most deserted.
With limited information channels, they could not come up with any regulations.
"Boss Wu? Don't you even have any news about you?"
The lean old man known as Boss Wu also shook his head and sighed after hearing this.
"How can I get any news? Let me see. We can't talk about anything while sitting here. Otherwise, we should leave early and try our luck elsewhere. I think other places should also gather like us.
Already."
"Didn't you get in touch with the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce? Didn't they reveal something to you?"
"How could I not ask, but big families like Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and the Zhu family are either closing their doors to thank guests today, or they don't know much about it. So, let's break up before the martial law time in the evening.
, move around more.”
After saying that, Boss Wu stood up, raised his wine glass and saluted everyone: "This happened suddenly, and since we can't talk about anything here, I will take the first step. Farewell!"
After drinking the wine, Boss Wu turned and left.
After the people left, Han Tingli, who was sitting in the corner, looked at everyone who was still looking gloomy and gloomy.
I also felt a little discouraged.
To those at the main table, he was just a small businessman. If we were to classify people into classes, he would be at the bottom.
Although his business is larger than the others at his table, with the title of Xuanmen lineage, the local businessmen in Liyue Port still reject him and have no say.
He traveled to many places today, trying to understand some specific situations, but from morning to now, he made countless smiles and still found nothing.
Now, he was numb. He looked at the wine glass on the table in front of him and frowned deeply.
well...
Han Tingli sighed, raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
The familiar burning sensation entered the stomach along the esophagus, and the surging alcohol odor returned to the brain.
This uncomfortable feeling came over again. He frowned and suppressed it. Gu Fan
During this period, he had had enough of drinking and even hated drinking, but today he thought it would be better to get drunk.
New Moon Pavilion, six people were sitting in the box.
Although there are only six people sitting here, they are all relatively large businessmen in Liyue Port. Although they are not as good as the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, they are no different together.
Different from the boring party at Han Tingli's, the box here seemed a lot more lively, but the lively situation was a bit off.
Ma Wenliang is a well-known ore boss in Liyue Port. Although his business has little reputation among the people, those who know him know that Boss Ma has his own mining team that specializes in ore transactions with businessmen from other countries.
Boom——
After drinking a glass of wine, Marvin slammed the glass on the table.
"This is so irritating. Tell me, is what Qixing did this time too outrageous?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. In this situation, we can only think about it. At least it's not a loss."
Hearing this, Ma Wenliang was even more unhappy.
"No loss? The Huishan Hall has taken away almost all the ore from Liyue Port. Now the bidding price for the ore outside is more than three times higher. How come there is no loss?"
"Hey, didn't the General Affairs Department say that if you want to trade ore, you can go there and buy it at the original price, so don't be angry."
To be continued...
