Chapter 37: Coercion and Inducement

Chen Wanrong did not go home directly. It was closer to the gallery, so he went to the gallery. When he arrived at the gallery, he saw Wang Han and his friends auctioning Wu Daozi's paintings. There was a sound of bidding outside the gallery, which shocked the eardrums. This lively situation was even better than Chen Wanrong imagined. It was a great relief and cheer for Wu Daozi's success.

When the auction was completed, Chen Wanrong went to meet Wang Han. The first sentence when Wang Han met was: "Brother Chen, you have a great idea. Look, until now, no one dared to challenge Brother Wu. This gold has become a decoration."

Since the opening day, no one has dared to challenge Wu Daozi. One thousand taels of gold have long become a decoration. This is no wonder. Although Wu Daozi has not reached his peak, his talent and idle people dare not challenge him. It is okay to meet friends, but challenge people are just a joke.

"Isn't it good? If it weren't for this thousand taels of gold, would your forehead sweat on Brother Wang?" Chen Wanrong pointed at the crystal sweat beads on Wang Han's forehead and joked.

Wang Han laughed: "Do you know how hard I work? Every day after selling, I sweat all over. You have also seen that there are so many people, one by one, can I make it impossible for me to yell? My voice is hoarse, you are the one who harms others. You have to compensate me! Tell me, how do you pay?" He pulled Chen Wanrong's cuff, stretched his right hand, and asked for compensation naughtyly.

Chen Wanrong slapped Wang Han in the palm of his hand and smiled and said, "Is it okay now?"

"Stingy!" Wang Han muttered dissatisfiedly, and asked the guy to close the door, told them to go and play, and go with Chen Wanrong.

While walking, Wang Han asked, "Brother Chen, what's the matter with you coming out? Say, do you want me to help?"

Looking at his passionate appearance, Chen Wanrong felt warm in his heart. Since he met Wang Han, he not only admired his poetry, but also respected his character, cheerfulness, and was willing to work hard for his friends. Being able to meet such a person is truly a joy in life!

"It's okay. Go back and have a drink!" Chen Wanrong flew on his horse.

Wang Han likes to drink a cup, and when he smells it, he is very happy: "Okay! Brother Wu's paintings are selling better and better. It's time to celebrate. If it weren't for the sake of having an imperial chef at home, he would have gone to Wangjianglou to have a good time. Brother Chen, you have made a reservation for this customer."

"You're full of belly!" Chen Wanrong smiled and walked forward with a horse, Wang Han followed him by a horse.

The two returned to the mansion, handed the reins to the servants, and went straight to the house. Zheng Qing came up from afar, met Wang Han, and snuggled up to Chen Wanrong and asked, "Are you all agreed?" If Yan Wei's escort agency came forward, the family would be safe, and she was very concerned about this matter.

"Go in and talk!" Chen Wanrong didn't want to tell her now, and walked in his head. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Sima Chengzhen and Wu Daozi drinking tea, chatting and laughing, talking happily.

Everyone had seen the gift, and Qing'e sent tea and each sent it to everyone. Sima Chengzhen asked, "My friend, did Yanwei escort agency agree?"

Chen Wanrong shook his head and said, "The power of the Crescent Sect is too great, they can't afford to offend them, so they didn't accept them, nor did they say they didn't accept them."

Anyone with discerning eyes understands the intention of Yanwei escort agency, but it cannot be explicitly stated or not. If it is clearly stated, it will damage the reputation of the escort agency. In fact, even if it is not explicitly stated, it will not be impossible to see it, but it must be better.

Zheng Qing was shocked, her hands trembled, and tea poured on her body, and she asked quickly: "What should I do?" Even Yanwei Escort Agency dared not take it. She could imagine how much threat the Crescent Sect was, and she was even more worried.

Sima Chengzhen smiled and said, "I have a few unscrupulous disciples. I will write a book for them now and ask them to come."

He is a great master, and his disciples must be good players. If they can come to help with the war, it will naturally be a great thing. There is no reason to refuse, but Chen Wanrong declined: "The Taoist priest is kind, I appreciate it. But the power of the Crescent Sect is quite powerful. If something happens, how can I bear it?"

Sima Chengzhen smiled, stroked his beard, and looked at Chen Wanrong with appreciation: "My friend, if you have this kind of heart, I will be happy. If you change someone, I would like to do this, but my friend is unwilling to implicate others. OK! This matter is decided like this. My friend, I just want you to spend money and give you some food."

The last sentence was a joke, which attracted a lot of laughter. Zheng Qing stood up and gave Sima Chengzhen a blessing: "Thank you Taoist Master! Taoist Master's virtue of helping him, the little girl will never forget it!"

"The words are heavy, the words are heavy!" Sima Chengzhen waved his hand and said, "As a teacher who is so proud, how can I sit back and ignore it?"

Things are a foregone conclusion, if you persist, you will become more accustomed to it. Chen Wanrong immediately thanked: "Thank you, Master!"

"No need to thank you, no need to thank you!" Sima Chengzhen said with a smile.

Sima Chengzhen's disciples are also a force that cannot be underestimated. If they can help with safety issues, they will be very clear. Chen Wanrong is relieved. However, there must be some preparations for this matter. After all, the power of the Crescent Sect is too great, and Sima Chengzhen's disciples alone may not be able to be perfect. The idea is certain, Chen Wanrong called Niu Shangxin: "You ask someone to go to the city immediately and buy sulfur and saltpeter, the more the better. Especially saltpeter, it is best to buy all the inventory in Chang'an."

Niu Shangxin had not yet agreed, and Sima Chengzhen asked curiously: "My friend, what is the purpose of saltpeter? The saltpeter in Chang'an can save many people."

In his eyes, saltpeter is used to treat diseases, but in Chen Wanrong's eyes, it is the raw material for making gunpowder. Now time is tight, and if you want to find a saltpeter mine, it is too late to mine, so you can only buy it from the medicine shop. With gunpowder, there will be no problem with a few earth bombs. Have a good taste!

As Sima Chengzhen said, saltpeter is a treatment for medical treatment, and there will not be too many pharmacies. The average pharmacies are at most a few kilograms and a dozen kilograms. Even if they are large pharmacies, they are only a few dozen kilograms, and they can only buy them all.

"The Taoist priest doesn't know that in addition to curing diseases, saltpeter also uses other wonderful uses to kill people!" Chen Wanrong knew that he would ask about the purpose, so he said it first.

"Oh!" Sima Chengzhen was surprised: "It actually has such a wonderful use!" He made up his mind and must take a good look.

Not only did he have this idea, but Wang Han and Wu Daozi also had this idea.

Niu Shangxin agreed and went to handle it himself. Chen Wanrong and everyone took to refine the essence oil. With yesterday's experience, it was much easier to do today.

Let’s talk about Yanwei’s escort agency. After seeing Chen Wanrong away, Yan Xing and Wan Qiaoliang said a while, sighed for a while, and each started working hard. Wan Qiaoliang took on several jobs and almost forgot about this matter.

A "bang" knock on the door sounded, Wan Qiaoliang said, and the door opened, a man came in, and the door closed again. The man was about forty years old, dressed in a scholar, holding a round fan in his hand, looking handsome, and stood in front of him, feeling a bit like a handsome tree. Wan Qiaoliang suddenly felt good and said, "Please sit with him, please."

"Thank you!" The man was polite and thanked him, sat down and looked at Wan Qiaoliang.

His eyes were soft, but a little cold. Wan Qiaoliang felt like he was sweeping the sword. He was uncomfortable all over and frowned and said, "When Wan Qiaoliang is below, I dare to ask about the big customer."

The man did not answer his question directly, but said lightly: "Wan Pao Head, I am here to discuss a deal with you."

People who come here are talking about business, and there is no need to go around the circle. Wan Qiaoliang was unhappy, but a smile on his face: "What Zunke is saying is, I wonder what kind of business it is?"

"My business is different from other things. Although it is a business, there are two ways to do it!" The man's words made Wan Qiaoliang confused and remained silent. The man continued: "The first method is to be happy, and we all get the best."

You pay and I do my best. This is a matter of cooperation and both parties are beneficial. Wan Qiaoliang secretly laughed at the man in his heart, and his smile remained: "I hope to hear it carefully."

The man took out a bag from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Wan Qiaoliang. Wan Qiaoliang noticed that his hands were as white as jade, and was shocked. This was a master, and his palm skills were very hot. He was very questioned in his heart. When he opened the bag, he saw two night pearls the size of wine glasses in the bag, emitting a soft light.

The night pearl of this texture is not considered top-quality, nor is it bad. Each one is worth 20,000 to 30,000 taels. Two pieces are 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver, a large amount. Wan Qiaoliang has experienced many ups and downs. He knew that a man would have harsh conditions for giving him a respectful gift. He smiled and said, "I wonder what we can do for respecting guests?"

He put the bag on the table without taking a glance, staring at the man, and looked at him carefully. The man's eyes were occasionally as sharp as a sword, and he was definitely a good master who practiced both inside and outside. Wan Qiaoliang thought to himself that even if he started, he might not be able to get it. What kind of difficult things would such a master ask for help from the escort agency?

"It's not difficult, it's just that you can't guard Chen Wanrong's bodyguard!" The man said lightly, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes, as if two sharp swords stabbed Wan Qiaoliang.

Wan Qiaoliang's heart trembled and he remained silent: "It's hard to be a big deal for the guests. Whether or not the Yanwei Escort Agency will take the job or not, it's up to us to decide which kind of job to take. It's not a matter of time for the guests to take." He pushed the bag in front of the man and clearly refused.

The man leaned forward and reminded coldly: "Wan Pao Head, I'm kind enough to persuade him, and I have no other intentions, don't misunderstand."

Wan Qiaoliang was not outdone at all, and a cold voice sounded: "The Lord of the Lord is a tough guy! The escort business has rules for the escort business, so I dare not worry about it if I have any effort. Please give me a gift!"

The man had no intention of leaving and still threatened coldly: "Wan Pao Head, you have to think clearly. Anyone who is enemies of my Crescent Sect will die! My school does not want to offend Yan Wei Escort Agency, it is not that it cannot afford to offend you, but that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is that it is fined

"Crescent Moon Sect?" Wan Qiaoliang never expected that this mysterious sect came to him. He was shocked, but his face was not caring at all: "We and you are not in conflict with the river. I wonder how you will punish me for wine?" The corner of his mouth tugged and he laughed.

The man's pupils contracted into a line, and his right hand turned around, as fast as lightning, and hit Wan Qiaoliang as his chest. Wan Qiaoliang raised his hand to block it, but it blocked the air. His chest hurt violently, like a huge pestle in the middle, and it fell far away. It hit the ground hard, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Wan Qiaoliang struggled to stand up, but unfortunately, he stepped on the man's chest, making it difficult to breathe, let alone get up. The man said coldly: "Give you some color first. If you don't agree, Yanwei Escort Agency will wait to close the door." He snorted angrily, and the right foot was on Wan Qiaoliang's crotch. With a sound, a lot of yellow and white liquid flowed out of Wan Qiaoliang's crotch.

The man wiped Wan Qiaoliang's body with his right foot for a while, cleaned up the filth, and then he tidied up his clothes, picked up the bag and put it in his arms, opened the door, and left quickly.

Wan Qiaoliang's face was pale and he couldn't help vomiting blood. He struggled to stand up, but he couldn't stand up. After struggling for a long time, he didn't stand up. A knock on the door sounded, and Wan Qiaoliang roared with all his strength, as if a wild beast was roaring before his death.

The door suddenly opened, and the middle-aged man rushed in quickly. Seeing Wan Qiaoliang's appearance, he was so scared that his face was pale. He couldn't help but scream and took a few steps back involuntarily.

"All the whole thing..." Wan Qiaoliang gasped and wanted to say "The head of the chief", but he just couldn't understand.

Fortunately, the middle-aged Sike understood and quickly turned around and ran away. Not too much, a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps sounded. Yan Xing appeared at the door, rushed in quickly, picked up Wan Qiaoliang, and put his head on his thighs. Wan Qiaoliang was a little excited and said stutteringly: "The Chief Eunuch, the Xinyue Gate demonstration, we should not take over the work of Manager Chen. Take care of the Chief Eunuch!" He sobbed for a few times, tilted his head, and died in anger.

Tears gushed out from Yan Xinghu's eyes, enduring the grief and examining it. He is a big expert, and once he examines it, he will understand the truth. Wan Qiaoliang is killed by a heavy hand. In terms of martial arts, Wan Qiaoliang can only be considered medium in Yanwei Escort Agency. He is better at dealing with people and is the best at talking about business with others. Even if this person does not start a sudden attack and fights upright, Wan Qiaoliang is not an opponent.

What made Yan Xing most angry was that the Crescent Sect actually bullied people too much and killed people in Yanwei Escort Agency. No one could have imagined that. He suppressed his anger and Yan Xing shouted: "Come!"

Several escorts rushed in, but no one believed it was true, so they couldn't help but stare at the boss. Yan Xing ordered: "Treat the body of Wan's head. Also, immediately send the escort heads of each escort and rush back to Chang'an to discuss matters."

The escort responded and went to handle it. Yan Xing strode out, returned to the house, found clean clothes, changed the bloody clothes on his body, left the room, and said to the servant: "Take a horse."

The servant responded and trotted to bring a divine yellow horse. Yan Xing took the reins, flew onto the horse, and galloped away.

"Another pot!" Chen Wanrong was very excited, picked up the jar and put it aside.

Zheng Qing was the happiest and sniffed: "I made a lot today. Can I match it?" The essence oil alone makes people excited. If it is matched with perfume, I don't know how attractive it is. Perfume is the most loved by women, so she naturally looks forward to it.

"I made three pots today, plus one pot yesterday, but only four. If it is not good, it's better to wait a day or two to make more." Chen Wanrong understood Zheng Qing's mood and explained to her: "A perfume often requires several kinds of essence oils, five or six, seven or eight kinds. The key is whether people like it or not. If they like it, they have to use it even if they have ten or twenty kinds."

Zheng Qing was extremely happy. She pounded Chen Wanrong's shoulder lightly and said with a smile: "Well, I'll listen to you."

Wang Han did not participate yesterday, but for the first time today, he was very interested and shouted: "Brother Wu, go get flowers quickly and wait to do it."

Uncle Wu was not necessarily less interested than him, and he responded happily: "I know, Mr. Wang!" He took a few people away quickly.

Before Chen Wanrong could order, Zhao Bo, Sima Chengzhen and others took action together to remove the kettle, pour out the hot water from the pot, and clean the pot. Now there is only one pot. In order to reduce pollution and prevent impure fragrance, you have to change the water and clean it once every time. It is really troublesome and there is no way to do it. Fortunately, Chen Wanrong tried it, and there is still time.

After cleaning up, add water and prepare for preparation. After a while, it will be refilled. As soon as the fire rises, the next pot will be started.

"This is the fourth pot, and you can make several pots today!" Wu Daozi said excitedly.

What he said was exactly what everyone was thinking, and they all claimed that they were. They all stared at the stove.

Niu Shangxin stepped in and walked to Chen Wanrong and said, "Boss, someone is looking for you."

"Who?" Chen Wanrong is now thinking about making perfume and asks casually.

Niu Shangxin shook his head and said, "I don't know him. He said his surname is Yan."

Chen Wanrong, the surname of Yan, had no impression of Chen Wanrong. No matter who or who it is, you will know. After strode away, Niu Shangxin followed and reminded Chen Wanrong: "Boss, be careful, this person is not kind. He looked sad and angry, as if he was here to vent his anger."
