Chapter 668: Waiting to Cause Trouble

Editor: Henyee Translations

How could Zhou Dafu not be furious? The first time he saw her, his son was thrown onto a horse and almost lost his life, and he had even been extorted for more than a thousand taels of silver.

The second time they met, he was pretending to be a good-natured person. Not only did he flee in fear, but he also had to deal with those local hooligans. Initially, he thought that Gu’s had some impressive backer. In the end, after checking, she was just a bumpkin from the countryside. She had just opened a shop in the county city and was already extremely arrogant. She did not even know how to restrain herself when she came to the prefectural city. She was simply detestable and deserved to die.

He gently knocked on the wall of the carriage and said to Ah Feng, who was driving outside, “Hurry up.”

He didn’t want to miss the fun.

“Yes, Master.” Compared to Zhou Dafu and Steward Zhou’s optimism, Ah Feng looked worried.

After some thought, he could not help but say, “Master, that young master and lady are both skilled. Those local hooligans only know how to talk. If they really attack, I’m afraid one person can beat them down.”

Before Zhou Dafu could reply, Steward Zhou sneered and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared everything. Those local hooligans don’t have much ability, but I found a few skilled escorts to hide among them. When the time comes, those escorts will keep the man and woman occupied, and the others will destroy their entire shop.”

Ah Feng frowned and did not say anything else.

He was just a guard, only responsible for protecting his master’s safety.

The master had asked Steward Zhou to take care of everything else.

The carriage soon arrived at the alley not far from Gu’s. Ah Feng stopped.

Steward Zhou got down from the carriage and looked around. He had already seen the local hooligans hiding elsewhere. He nodded slightly at them.

However, the local gang leader had mixed feelings at this moment. He originally thought that they were just going through the motions. Who knew that Steward Zhou would actually stuff a few tall and powerful experts into their place?

This made the local hooligan not dare to be perfunctory. Even if he had to brace himself, he could only go up. But on second thought, with these experts around, what was there to be afraid of? He was not afraid. He could take revenge on the man and the two women.

Steward Zhou whispered to Zhou Dafu, who was in the carriage, “Master, those local hooligans are also here. They’re waiting for our orders. When should we take action?”

Zhou Dafu looked in the direction of Gu’s. Gu’s had already opened. Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan were standing outside. The firecrackers had just ended and there were already people walking in.

He snorted softly. “Let’s wait a little longer. The door has just opened. It’ll be lively when there are more people later.”

“Understood.” Steward Zhou nodded and looked in the direction of Gu’s. After a while, he muttered, “I didn’t expect there to be so many people.”

“Didn’t they distribute the paintings on the street a couple of days ago? They only know how to do such fancy things. Look, most of the people are here for the free bag of dried fruits after paying a tael of silver. They’re all commoners who are greedy for small benefits and don’t have much money.”

Steward Zhou nodded in agreement. After all, those people were not dressed well and all of them were timid and hesitant.

But soon, he frowned and saw a familiar figure striding into Gu’s shop.

“Master, that person seems to be…”

Zhou Dafu also saw it and immediately frowned. A moment later, he came to a realization.

“They’re both from Fengkai County. They probably know each other.”
