Chapter 216 Yinghua College (Part )

"Dongshan Company?" Long Si looked confused and turned to Ma Tuzi beside him and asked, "What is Dongshan Company?"

Ma Tuzi couldn't help but look bitter at Long Si's ignorance, and quickly explained: "The number one business in Song Dynasty, their boss is called Shen Dongshan, the richest man in Song Dynasty."

"The richest man in Song Dynasty?"

Long Si's eyes suddenly flashed with greed, and he grinned, "Pan Chuba is only the richest man in Yingchuan, but he is already very rich. If we rob the richest man in Song Dynasty, wouldn't that be..."

"Hush!" Before Long Si could finish his words, Ma Tuzi, with panic in his eyes, hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Master Si, Shen Dongshan is not someone Pan Chuba can compare to. The guys in Dongshan Company have more people than we have ever met in our lives. Shen Dongshan has bodyguards who are no worse than the emperor. His businesses are all over the world, too numerous to count. If we want to rob him... we must be tired of living."

"I'm not afraid of Prince Xian's Mansion, so why should I be afraid of Shen Dongshan?" Long Si said contemptuously.

"You can't say that." Baldy Ma shook his head repeatedly and said, "Dongshan Company is different from the Xianwang Mansion. Luo Tianjin is a martial arts hero. Although he is powerful, he will at least follow the rules of the martial arts world. Shen Dongshan is different. He is good at both black and white, and he will do anything to get what he wants. Although his prestige is not as good as Luo Tianjin, he has endless money and an endless network of relationships. If he throws out 10 or 10 million taels, everyone in the world will hunt us down. Government offices, martial arts sects, heroes of the martial arts world, and even the outlaws will all respond to the call. If this is true, then it is really... no matter where in the world we are, we will have nowhere to hide. And as far as I know, Shen Dongshan and Luo Tianjin... have a close personal relationship."

Ma Tuzi's words made Long Si swallow his saliva subconsciously. He looked at the ordinary Shen Gui with complicated eyes, muttering to himself: "It's Luo Tianjin and Shen Dongshan again, and they know Pan Chuba? The more I think about this, the more I feel something is wrong... Originally it was just the Pan family, then the Xianwang Mansion appeared, and now there is a Dongshan Company. If it continues like this, I don't know what big shots I can't afford to offend will be waiting for me. No, no! The more I look at today's incident, the more it looks like a trap. It's probably a conspiracy between Luo Tianjin and Shen Dongshan to lure me in. The 'hornet's nest' that Xu Ren threw to me is too big... Let's not poke it, or we might sting ourselves to death..."

"Fourth Master is wise!" Ma Tuzi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.

At this moment, Pan Wen and Shen Gui have completed the liquidation.

From today on, all of the Pan family’s business in Yingchuan will be under the umbrella of Dongshan Trading Company.

When Shen Gui announced the news in public, all the merchants in Yingchuan, led by Qiu Baiwan, looked embarrassed.

Yingchuan is backed by the Huai River and has a rich economy. Although there are many local merchants in Yingchuan, the gap between them is not big, so everyone gains something, and they can have enough food and clothing and make money together.

Especially the former Pan Chuba, who was modest and generous, so although Pan Huai's ship business was large, it would not take away other people's jobs. All the big and small businesses in Yingchuan could at least have a way to survive.

But the Dongshan Trading Company is completely different. Now that it has entered the market with great force, it is bound to divide the business and financial resources of other trading companies, and even become the only one in the market and monopolize the entire Yingchuan water transportation.

Therefore, Qiu Baiwan and others naturally felt the pressure doubled and their future was worrying.

There were congratulations and compliments on the meditation platform, but how did these people feel? Only they knew the feeling.

"Damn it!" Seeing Pan Wen, Shen Gui and the others getting along harmoniously, Long Si hesitated and complained, "Xu Ren and He Shan teamed up to harm me. They asked me to mess things up, which sounds easy, but how can I do it now? I have already offended the Xianwang Mansion, do I have to offend Dongshan Company as well?"

Ma Tuzi pondered and said, "Fourth Master, since we already have countless gold and silver, why should we continue to stay in Yingchuan to fight against them? In my opinion, we might as well leave as soon as possible, find another place, and make a comeback!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Long Si could not help but frown and muttered repeatedly, "That makes sense! That makes sense! Dongshan Company has already bought Pan's wharf. If I occupy it by force, I will not get any benefits in the end, and I may even offend Shen Dongshan. Isn't that asking for trouble? If we stay in Yingchuan, we will die sooner or later. Anyway, we have money, so we might as well leave and not wade into this muddy water, and let He Shan and Xu Ren clean up their own mess!"

Long Si had been a fool all his life, but it was rare for him to be smart. He gradually realized that he seemed to be being used by others, so he secretly wanted to quit.

"No matter how much money you have, you have to live to spend it." Ma Tuzi echoed, "Fourth Master, there is no time to lose, shall we go now?"

"go!"

Long Si hurriedly agreed and was about to take his men away, but unexpectedly he bumped into He Shan who was coming towards him.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?" He Shan asked unhappily, "I asked you to come here to mess things up, not to show your support! What are you doing? You want to leave before you finish your work?"

Long Si looked at He Shan with embarrassment on his face and whispered, "What the hell! Don't you even look at who bought the Pan family's things?"

"Who?"

"Dongshan Company!" Long Si snorted, "Now Luo Tianjin and Shen Dongshan are tied together to help the Pan family. Can you afford to offend them?"

"This……"

"I advise you to leave quickly to avoid getting yourself into trouble." Long Si urged hastily, "You and I have both been used by Xu Ren. If we continue like this, it will not benefit anyone."

After saying that, Long Si was about to bypass He Shan and flee in a hurry. He had only one belief at the moment, which was to return to his dock as quickly as possible, taking the gold, silver and treasures and running as far as possible.

"Wait a minute!" He Shan grabbed Long Si's arm and asked suspiciously, "If you leave, who can I ask for the 'Qingchuan Landscape Painting'?"

"Come back with me now and I'll give it to you. I don't care about a broken map..."

"Master He!"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xunyi's voice suddenly rang out, causing Long Si and He Shan's faces to change at the same time.

Long Si was extremely anxious and kept making faces at He Shan, signaling him not to do anything rash.

He Shan snorted disdainfully, turned to greet Liu Xunyi, and said with a smile, "Master Liu, how are you?"

"Thanks to you, sir, everything is fine." Liu Xunyi chuckled, then turned his gaze to Long Si and asked with a half-smile, "Master Long Si wanted to leave, why didn't you say hello?"

"Hehe..." Long Si now understood more and more, so he wanted to escape from this place more and more urgently. He replied with a fake smile: "The Pan family's business has been sold to Dongshan Company. Now that the deal is done, it will be useless for me to stay, so I will..."

"You came in with a swagger and full of murderous intent. But you left with your tail between your legs, looking wilted." Tang Cong mocked, "Master Long Si, you are a boss after all. How can you be so half-hearted? Wouldn't that make your subordinates laugh at you?"

"What do you mean by murderous?" Long Si defended himself seriously, "I just came here to see the excitement today, nothing else!" "You are fine, but I am!" Liu Xunyi changed the subject and sneered, "It just so happens that Lord He is here. I would like to ask Lord He to administer justice for the incident a few days ago when Long Si led people to rob the Pan Mansion."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the meditation stage suddenly became subtle.

The noise just now gradually quieted down. Everyone in the field looked at Liu Xunyi, He Shan, and Long Si.

Pan Wen said angrily, "Long Si, you dare to rob my Pan family in broad daylight, you must give me an explanation today!"

"And my grandfather's death." Pan Yuyin cried, "Were you behind this?"

"Little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Long Si saw that he had become the target of public criticism, and hurriedly said, "I didn't kill your grandfather, so don't wrongly accuse me."

"Who killed him?" Liu Xunyi took the opportunity to ask.

"Yes..." Long Si was about to say something, but he almost blurted it out. He rolled his eyes and said perfunctorily, "How do I know who killed him? It wasn't me anyway."

"What about looting the Pan Mansion?" Pan Yun asked.

"Robbery of the Pan Mansion...Robbery of the Pan Mansion is..." Long Si's brain was not very smart to begin with, and now that he was being pressed, he could not help but look clumsy. He quickly looked at He Shan for help, with a hint of anxiety between his brows.

Long Si's expression seemed to be warning He Shan: "If you don't help me, I will expose you and we will all die together."

He Shan hesitated for a moment, then looked around and saw that there were many people on the meditation platform. His eyes suddenly became fierce and he shouted coldly: "I have set up a net outside Yinghua Academy right now. No one is welcome, leave immediately!"

He Shan did this because he was afraid that Long Si might turn against him and his ugly deeds would be exposed in public.

At He Shan's command, a large number of officers quickly rushed into the academy, and the Jingxin Terrace was immediately thrown into chaos.

In a moment, except for the Pan family, Prince Xian's Mansion, Long Si and others, everyone else was driven out of Yinghua Academy by the officials.

"There are no outsiders here, so feel free to speak!" Liu Xunyi ignored the hundreds of officials who were watching him and said bluntly, "I know that Long Si robbed the Pan family, and you, Lord He, also made a lot of efforts behind the scenes."

Liu Xunyi's words made He Shan and Long Si's faces suddenly become interesting. Long Si looked horrified and asked in surprise: "So you knew it a long time ago?"

"If you didn't have the government backing you up, how dare you do evil in broad daylight?" Pan Wen snorted coldly, "Even a fool could guess this. Lord He, my father treated you well when he was alive, but I didn't expect you to treat us like this?"

"Humph! You have no evidence, stop slandering me..."

"Whether it is slander or not, we can know it by searching your official residence." Pan Yun said angrily, "How dare you say that there is nothing of my Pan family hidden in your official residence?"

"How dare you!" He Shan was furious and said in a stern voice, "How can you, the common people, search my mansion whenever you want?"

Liu Xunyi sneered, "Master He! If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Long Si just admitted it himself, why do you have to deny it? What's more, you came here today just to help Long Si clean up the mess, didn't you? It's a pity that Dongshan Company suddenly showed up and ruined your good deeds. You can scare the merchants in Yingchuan, but you can't scare Dongshan Company, which has business all over the world!"

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Long Si simply waved his hand and cursed: "So what? There are hundreds of officials brought by Lord He here, and there are more than a hundred of my brothers outside. Can you rebel with just a few of you?"

After that, Long Si's eyes turned fierce, and he advised He Shan: "Master He, at this point, you and I have no way to retreat, just kill them and put an end to it!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Pan family members changed immediately. Now Liu Xunyi only had Xu Heng, Tang Cong, Liao Chuan, and Liao Hai by his side. Together, there were only five of them. How could they compete with the hundreds of people outside the academy?
He Shan's face was uncertain, he stared straight at Liu Xunyi and said coldly: "Liu Xunyi, you are not qualified to question me! On the contrary, I have something I want to ask you clearly."

Liu Xunyi frowned slightly, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, but he didn't say much.

"Do you still remember the 'Qingchuan Landscape Painting' you gave me?"

Hearing this, Tang Cong's face immediately turned ugly. Liu Xunyi's eyes were complicated and hesitant, and he asked tentatively: "Why do you say that?"

"You are so bold that you dared to steal and leave me a fake picture." He Shan said angrily, "Fortunately, someone reminded me in time, otherwise I would have presented it to my father-in-law and it would have been a disaster! Liu Xunyi, you have hurt me so much, do you still dare to hope that I can do justice for you today?"

"you……"

"Tie them all up and take them back!" He Shan didn't give Liu Xunyi a chance to explain. He waved his hand and ordered, "If you encounter anyone who resists, kill them without mercy!"

After that, he glared at Liu Xunyi fiercely and threatened with gnashing teeth: "Liu Xunyi, I know you are a martial arts expert, but you can save yourself, can you save the Pan family? If you dare to resist, the Pan family will die for you first! Don't worry, I have always distinguished between gratitude and resentment. As long as you are willing to go back with me, I will never embarrass others."

"It should have been done long ago!" Long Si shouted excitedly, "Although there are some twists and turns, the result is still as planned. We..."

"Shut up!" Before Long Si could finish his words, He Shan glared at him fiercely. Long Si smiled awkwardly but said no more.

Xu Heng held a knife to protect Pan Wen and his wife. Facing the slowly approaching officers, he asked anxiously, "Master, what should we do? Should we fight our way out?"

Liu Xunyi looked around at the crowd of officials, then turned to look at the trembling and anxious Pan Wen family. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed softly and threw the sword in his hand to the ground with a "clang".

"Put down your weapons and go back with them!"
