The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 157 How dare you deceive me

Shen Wen broke Shen Ju's finger so quickly that even Shen Zhi and his companions who were watching the excitement didn't see it clearly. All they could see was a residual image.

Seeing Shen Ju being taught a lesson, everyone was not going to help. This annoying guy had this bad habit. He would tease both men and women in a frivolous way. It was really disgusting.

Afterwards, Shen Wen gently put the hand that was holding Shen Ju's hand under the table. Everyone was naturally fooled. Even Shen Ju herself, whose fingers were connected to her heart, thought it was just a little painful.

Because Shen Wen's grip was strong enough, the blood circulation of the hand he was holding had been blocked, causing temporary numbness to the pain.

Shen Wen held Shen Ju's hand affectionately, still smiling, and said, "Tell me, who sent you here? What's your purpose? I have to remind you that many people in my family have been beaten because of me. My grandfather protects me very much and doesn't like others to mess with me."

Shen Bifeng and his people had naturally heard about Shen Zhuofeng and his men being beaten with a stick. Now that they heard Shen Wen say it himself, they naturally believed it. Everyone stopped joking and behaved properly. Shen Bifeng said, "Since you are familiar with my Seventeenth Brother, I will tell you. Do you still remember the invitation you received before leaving the house? Have you read the content of the invitation? If you have, I advise you to go to the appointment quickly. It's not good to keep that person waiting for a long time!"

so?

That invitation was not written by Ji Zichu, but by someone else?

Shen Bifeng only said this, and then called everyone, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant and order some dishes. I don't think there's anything delicious here, how about we go to the ones we like to eat at?"

The others then realized that they were leaving, and although they didn't know why, they didn't hesitate and got up to follow Shen Bifeng. The last one, Shen Ju, who was still a little reluctant, followed him with a sullen face, pulled his shoulders and head, and twisted his body.

Shen Ju followed him for a long distance and didn't even notice that two of her fingers were broken.

Shen Wen curled his lips.

It seems that the poison needle coated with snake venom has taken effect after being inserted into his arm. The mild toxin has paralyzed his arm. By the time he felt the pain, it was already late at night. I pray that he doesn't act dishonestly like before, otherwise?

Ji Zichu stood behind him and said, "That Shen Ju is always making moves. We need to find a way to make him behave. I'll ask someone to do it and take care of those guys as well."

Shen Wen nodded and said, "We have to punish them, but they won't learn their lesson if we give them some physical pain. Since they like to set traps for people, why don't we learn from them and put them in jail for a few more years to teach them a lesson."

Ji Zichu naturally understood what it meant. He smiled and said, "I think this is feasible. Just tell me how you want to do it. How about I arrange it right now?"

Shen Wen said: "That's exactly what I meant, but I have something else to do."

He took out an invitation from his sleeve and opened it in front of Ji Zichu.

On the invitation, there were a few words written in a flamboyant style: "Sister, let's meet at Yuncui Tower."

There is a seal in the lower right corner, which is a fox with a big tail.

Ji Zichu said: "The ancestor's divine seal? Only that person has this seal."

Shen Wen focused on the three words "that person".

Shen Wen quickly asked: "Who is that person you are talking about?"

Ji Zichu probably thought that he was wrong, so he said, "There is no one else. Maybe I saw it wrong. Who sent you this invitation? Are you sure this invitation is for you?"

Shen Wen said: "I'm not too sure. The address is written here. Why don't we go and take a look?"

Ji Zichu agreed to go with him to take a look at Yuncui Tower.

They separated from Lei Sheng and his group and headed towards Yuncui Tower.

The two people were in no hurry on the way, strolling around the stalls leisurely.

When I walked to a stall selling medicinal candies, I saw that the stall was lonely and deserted, and a couple was sitting there with sad faces.

Shen Wen asked for some candy. The couple was quite enthusiastic and greeted customers quickly. Shen Wen ate a piece of candy and then asked the female shopkeeper, "I see your location is pretty good and it's clean, why don't so many people come to patronize it?"

The female shopkeeper said awkwardly, "My lord, you don't know that this is medicinal candy that we sell. The sugar we use is expensive. Although the medicinal materials are of the best quality, ordinary people think it is too expensive and will not buy it all the time. Rich people think that the taste of our medicinal candy is mediocre and not as good as that of Daji Dessert Shop. So..."

Shen Wen sipped the orange-flavored medicinal candy in his mouth and nodded, "It's indeed not sweet enough. What kind of sugar is it made of? Is it rock sugar? Granulated sugar? Or soft white sugar?"

These three types of sugar were not fully developed in ancient times. There was only simple produced cane sugar on the market, which was called granulated sugar in some places and white sugar in some places.

So the question asked by Shen Wen made the couple stunned. The male shopkeeper took out his treasured sugar without saying a word. Shen Wen took a look at the brown sugar containing impurities and understood.

Shen Wen said, "Boss, do you want to improve this medicinal candy? The improved medicinal candy will not only have a pure and fragrant medicinal flavor, but also have more varieties and be suitable for people of all ages. The medicinal candy will also be sweet and delicious. How do you think?"

The male shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and the female shopkeeper said happily: "That's great, but we don't have much money. To be honest, I have a girl who has to take care of me all year round. Everyone has the dream of getting rich, but unfortunately, we are not destined to do so."

Shen Wen said: "I'll give you this recipe for free."

He pointed at Ji Zichu next to him and said to the couple, "This is Lord Ji from the Yingtian Prefecture Yamen. I'll give you one night to think about it. If you want the recipe, go find Lord Ji. He will sort it out, and if you need help, he can do it. Can we discuss it in detail then?"

The couple looked at each other, and the female shopkeeper said, "Sir, is what you said true? Or is it just a joke and you are just telling us something?"

Shen Wen said, "It's absolutely true. We both work for the Yingtian Prefecture. My name is Shen Wen and his name is Ji Zichu. We have names and backgrounds, and the addresses are real. You two can go and ask around. Let's talk about this first. The Third Master Ji and I have something else to do, so we won't bother you any more. How about you come find us when you've made up your mind?"

The couple then agreed half-heartedly and said goodbye to each other.

After walking for a while, Ji Zichu asked Shen Wen in confusion, "Why do you want to do the medicine candy business? In fact, if you want to do it, you don't have to bring the couple with you. Wouldn't it be easier if you cooperate with me alone?"

Shen Wen said, "I really want to make some money by doing business, but the medicine candy business is not suitable for me. I just suddenly had a recipe for making medicine candy in my mind, and I didn't ask for money when I gave them the recipe. Third Master Ji, you don't know that I have more than one recipe in my head. When you were investigating a case and arresting someone, did you have an undercover informant that no one could find?"

Ji Zichu slapped his head and said, "Oh! Why didn't I think of that? You just took over our industry, and sometimes you have to get information from places. After all, the spheres of influence of various circles in the capital are complicated. Without insider connections to provide information, you are completely in the dark. It is necessary to make connections with some inconspicuous industries to get information."

Shen Wen nodded and said, "It seems that the Third Young Master Ji has a fixed source of information. Could it be that the shops of his family are all over the capital... not all over the country? If so, I am worrying too much."

Ji Zichu said, "Opening shops all over the country?! Mr. Shen, you must be kidding. My family doesn't have that ability yet. As for the places you mentioned to get information, there are two ready-made places."

Shen Wen asked: "Oh? Which two places are they?"

Ji Zichu said: "One is the Three Houses and the other is the Shendan Temple opened by the Immortal Sect."

Shen Wen asked curiously: "Shendan Temple? Three houses?"

Ji Zichu explained: "The literal meaning of the Shendan Temple is a Taoist temple for asking for elixirs and medicines. The various sects in the immortal sect have opened temples all over the country. Moreover, the Taoist temples are very effective in asking questions and divination. We often go to them to find answers when we handle cases."

Shen Wen nodded and said, "What about the three houses?"

Ji Zichu said: "This is quite mysterious. He has a high status in the martial arts world. The reason why he is well-informed is said to be that he has a complex intelligence network. When we need it, we will also go to the three houses to inquire about the situation."

Shen Wen suddenly felt that his idea of ​​selflessly giving away the candy recipe was very naive. Sanjianzhai had a very close information channel with him, and his idea had already been realized by Zhong Jie.

He suddenly thought of Tu Yingguang, the chief of the Three Houses. Ever since Zhong Jie's body was taken over by someone, the real controller of the Three Houses became Tu Yingguang. That man was bent on plotting to take over the kingdom of Daju, and vowed to kill all the Ji clan members to avenge the former Tianchao royal family. If Shen Wen had no principled conflict with this man, it would be easy to negotiate, but he was afraid?

Thinking of this, she could only take one step at a time.

Shen Wen was thinking about something and was distracted while chatting with Ji Zichu, when he heard a sharp female voice scolding someone at a stall not far away.

The woman's arrogant behavior caused people around her to stop and watch, but no one dared to approach to watch the fun, because the woman was a royal relative and the soldiers with her were the ones equipped in the royal palace.

The woman pointed at the carved doll that she had thrown at the stall owner and then dropped on the ground, and cursed at the stall owner: "How dare you deceive me? This thing is not made of purple bamboo at all, it is made of fruit wood. Do you know that this is something you bought for that master? You deceived my master, I think you are tired of living."

The stall owner was hit on the forehead by the woman and immediately bled. The blood flowed down and covered his eyes. He didn't dare to wipe it. He could only beg for mercy timidly: "Miss, please calm down...Miss, please calm down, I didn't lie to you!"
