Chapter 72: Vicious Scheming

It’s already the end of April in the blink of an eye.

About twenty days have passed since the big case at the lakeside house.

This case, which was once talked about by the people of Guangling City, is said to have come to a conclusion. The result is actually very simple, it is just an ordinary grievance in the world.

As a result, the matter gradually faded away, and the Ningxiang Pavilion returned to its former bustle, and the focus of people's discussions shifted from that case to another matter——

Li Chenan, the small owner of the tavern at the east end of Erjinggou Alley, is building a wine-making workshop by the Taohua River at the foot of Taohua Mountain!

I heard that the workshop was very large.

I heard that Li Chenan wants to brew the Huapingchun sold in his tavern in that workshop!

I heard that he is also going to put Huapingchun on the market!

"Isn't that guy a little too courageous? You know, if his Huapingchun is put on the market in large quantities, it will directly impact the Huo family's Guanglingsan."

"With the strength of the Huo family, how can we sit back and wait for death? Isn't this kid looking for death?"

"What Yao Yuanwai said is absolutely true, but... the location where Li Chenan built the workshop is a bit strange."

"What's the weird trick?"

"As far as I know, those lands by the Peach Blossom Stream are owned by owners!"

"Who is the master?"

"It is said that it belongs to the third lady of Zhongli Mansion!"

"... Could it be that that boy really climbed up the high branches of Zhongli Mansion?"

In the lobby on the first floor of Ningxiang Pavilion, people at a table were discussing this topic, and people at the table next door heard it.

Then I saw a wealthy businessman turning his head to look at this table and laughed: "Is the high branch of Zhongli Mansion something that he, Li Chenan, can climb up to?"

"Let me tell you, that piece of land was sold to Li Chenan by the Zhongli Mansion, just because the land was deserted, and Miss Zhongli was just returning a favor to Li Chenan!"

"Brother, does Miss Zhongli really owe Li Chenan a favor?"

"Of course, but it's not a big deal. I heard that the third lady was attacked in Erjinggou Alley, and Li Chenan happened to save the third lady."

"The third lady is kind-hearted. She heard that Li Chen'an wanted to build a brewery, so she sold the land in Taohua Creek to Li Chen'an at a low price. This is what the two parties owe each other."

"So Li Chenan and the third lady are not involved so far. I am afraid it will be the time for the Huo family to take action against Li Chenan."

"..."

As a result, there were many more rumors in the market.

The neighbors in Erjinggou Alley were somewhat worried when they looked at Li Chenan, and those rumors fell into Li Chenan's ears.

Someone advised him to just stick to this tavern and not go to the brewing workshop. After all, big trees attract wind, and this small tavern would not catch the eye of the Huo family.

There are also people waiting to watch the excitement. They are jealous of the prosperous business of the tavern under the banyan tree, which earns twenty taels of silver a day. They hope that Li Chenan will really open up the brewery, and then... a guy from the Huo family will kill the boy.

Let him end up in a situation where he has lost all his personal wealth.

Everyone is so poor. If you, Li Chenan, are living a good life, it obviously does not meet their expectations.

Not being able to see the good in others has existed both in ancient and modern times.

Li Chenan certainly didn't pay attention to these rumors.

These days, he is mostly at Peach Blossom Villa, and more often at the construction site of the winery.

Of course, the third lady Zhongli Ruoshui has not been to the Banyan Tree Bistro these days, so this has given a wrong signal to many people——

For example, the Shen family.

The head of the Shen family, Shen Qianshan, put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at his daughter Shen Qiaodie.

"The Huo family had already reached an agreement with Song Yuanping of the Ichthyosaur Society, but unexpectedly, almost all of the Ichthyosaur Society was wiped out that day."

"Huo Chuanming once extremely suspected that Li Chenan did it, but due to the obstruction of Liu Zui, the prefect, he was unable to interrogate Li Chenan and his servant."

"However, my father felt that Li Chenan did not have the ability to do such a big thing. Although he had studied Kung Fu with Guangling boxer Zheng Haoyang for three years, Master Zheng insisted that Li Chenan did not even enter the martial arts school. "

"In this case, how can he kill Song Yuanping? Not to mention that Song Yuanping has a master Mr. Lu next to him."

"This matter is not too important to us or to the Huo Mansion. The past has passed. Huo Chuanming invited his father to go to the Huo Mansion yesterday. Mr. Huo has not returned from Pingjiang yet. He is worried about Li Chenan in Taohuaxi I'm a little worried about building a workshop next to it."

"It's not that I'm worried that Li Chen'an will invest a large amount of Hua Pingchun in the market, but that he's worried that there is the shadow of Zhongli Mansion behind the workshop."

"Aren't you quite familiar with Miss Zhongli San?"

"My father hopes that you will meet the Third Miss and find out what the Third Miss says. You must find out whether the Third Miss sold the land to Li Chenan or whether the Third Miss gave it to Li Chenan!"

"The other thing is...does Miss Third have any contact with Li Chenan now?"

"This is very important and affects the Huo family's next move."

"In addition, Huo Chuanming also said that Huo Shufan is on his way back and will return to Guangling City in about three to five days. Mr. Huo must have returned from Pingjiang by then."

"The matter between you and Chuan Ming will be officially decided by then. You will be the young mistress of the Huo family in the future, so you must be careful about this matter!"

Shen Qiaodie nodded, a stern look flashed in her eyes.

I was humiliated by Li Chenan in the West Market a few days ago. I originally thought that he would be killed by the Fish and Dragon Society soon, but unexpectedly, that guy was very lucky.

He was not dead, but everyone in the Fish and Dragon Society was gone.

These days, there are a lot of rumors about him in the market again, which are even more intense than the previous rumors that he will open a tavern in Erjinggou Alley and brew a wine better than Guanglingsan.

This is a big deal!

Because Huapingchun is indeed better tasting than Guangling Powder.

It has been more than a month since the tavern opened. Many of the wealthy businessmen in Guangling City have tasted Huapingchun in his tavern and have become regular customers of the tavern.

Don't look at the fact that the daily output of his tavern is only ten kilograms, but the sales volume of Guangling Powder has been reduced by 10%!

If Huapingchun is put on the market in large quantities.

If the price of Huapingchun decreases.

Shen Qiaoxi, who has been influenced by business since childhood, certainly understands what this means.

Why did that fool whose engagement was annulled by the Shen family suddenly become a thorn in his heart?

If this thorn is not pulled out, I'm afraid it will become a nightmare for his whole life!

"Father, please don't worry, my daughter will go visit Miss Third tomorrow!"

"If the third lady has nothing to do with Li Chenan... my daughter thinks her father can tell Uncle Huo an idea."

"What's the idea?"

"hold on."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until Li Chenan builds a workshop, and wait until he brews Huapingchun in that workshop!"

Shen Qianshan suddenly understood.

He nodded slightly with his beard: "What a good idea. When the time comes, the Huo family will take over his workshop and the craftsmen in it!"

"From now on, there will still be Huapingchun in the world, but there will no longer be that fool Li Chenan in Guangling!"
