Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1515 Wu Family Young Master Wu Changgen

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen and Gou Shengzi smelled a strong odor of urine.

The young master in front of him immediately knelt down, kowtowing and begging for mercy to Chu Chen, leaving a large wet patch on the ground.

"Heh, you coward, tell me, which family's young master are you, and what have you seen me seduce this time?"

"Young Master Chu, I am Wu Changgen of the Wu family. You've stolen the entire wine business in Hancheng. I was just blinded by greed for a moment..."

Chu Chen immediately lost interest after hearing this; it was just business competition, nothing of great value.

However, he just mentioned that many people want to kill him. Does this kid know something?

"Heh, fair competition in the business world, and you have to resort to ruthless tactics?"

Chu Chen raised his gun and pointed it at him, shouting sternly.

"Young Master Chu, I know I was wrong, please spare my life, please spare my life..."

"You just said that many people want to kill me. Tell me, who are they?!"

Seeing the dark muzzle of the gun, Wu Changgen dared not hide anything any longer and immediately began to boast as if he wanted to take credit.

“Young Master Chu, yes, the Mei family in the capital wants to kill you, and Yun Shangfei is very likely someone they hired.”

Chu Chen became interested immediately after hearing this and turned to Gou Shengzi, saying, "Gou Shengzi, don't scare him. He's just a young master. Go and take off his clothes. Look, they're all wet."

Gou Shengzi immediately understood Chu Chen's intention and went forward to pluck Wu Changgen clean.

Chu Chen took a closer look and thought to himself that the boy's name really suited him; he had strengths, and they were particularly outstanding.

At this moment, Wu Changgen looked like a little wife with tears in his eyes. He didn't know what Chu Chen wanted to do, or how he had ended up stripping him naked.

Could it be that he's thinking about that?

No, he'd rather die than comply, but the thought of death made him chicken out. Actually... compared to death, it wasn't so bad...

"Young Master Chu, I erred first, please have mercy..."

"I pity your grandma's legs! Tell me right now, what's going on with the Mei family? Otherwise, I'll drag you through the streets of Shacheng like this."

Wu Changgen was terrified. He cowered on the ground, not daring to look Chu Chen in the eye, and then told him everything he knew.

It turns out that Wu Changgen is the young master of the Wu family in Seoul, whose main business is brewing wine.

Before Chu Chen arrived, the Wu family controlled at least two-thirds of the liquor business in the entire Han City.

However, after Chu Chen arrived, he brought with him the Immortal's Intoxication drink, which directly stole a significant portion of his business.

From that moment on, the Wu family regarded Chu Chen as a thorn in their side.

It just so happens that Wu Changgen enjoys visiting brothels, and the wealth accumulated by the Wu family over the years has made him a notorious playboy in Seoul.

He even knew quite a few young masters from the capital.

One day, Mei Renteng, the eldest son of the Mei family in the capital, came to Seoul. The two like-minded people immediately got together and agreed to go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

Two people shared a table with eight male escorts, and they had a great time.

After squeezing out the juice from the packet, the two chatted and eventually talked about the currently popular Xianrenzui in Seoul, which naturally led them to talk about Chu Chen.

“Wu Changgen, you’re a coward too. Just find someone to kill this outsider.”

“Brother Mei, I’m not like you. Your Mei family is a powerful and influential family in the capital. How could my little Wu family dare to touch Chu Chen, who is being taken care of by the city lord?”

Mei Renteng scoffed after hearing this: "Don't worry, as soon as he goes to the capital, it's his death day."

"Oh. What do you mean?"

"Your elders in the family have their own reasons, so please don't ask any more questions."

After saying this, the two had recovered considerably and were once again immersed in tenderness.

After listening, Chu Chen frowned slightly. If what Wu Changgen said was true, then the Mei family was the most suspicious in the assassination attempt on him in the capital.

It seems that after what happened in Xiangcheng, I really need to go to the Mei family to see what reason they have for wanting to kill me.

"Are the Mei family officials in the imperial court?"

Chu Chen asked.

"I don't know, but someone in the Mei family must be an official in the capital, and a high-ranking one at that. Otherwise, the business the Mei family has been doing these past few years would have been shut down by His Majesty long ago."

"Oh, what kind of business does the Mei family do?"

"It seems like they're also involved in illicit salt and ironworks..."

Chu Chen nodded in understanding. If the Mei family really did do this kind of business, then it was a good deal.

Because businesses like salt and iron were controlled by Dong Shilan, and only high-ranking officials in the court could secretly engage in such activities.

The salt and iron trade was also the easiest way to make contact with foreign spies. Therefore, if the Mei family were to collude with the enemy and sell salt and iron to foreign countries, they would make huge profits.

And their presence not only led to the production of alcohol, but they probably also became aware of their sale of refined salt.

In this way, foreign powers coveting their alcohol, and the Mei family fearing their growing strength, handing over the method of refining salt to Dong Shilan, would both have a reason to destroy themselves.

In that case, the first thing to do after returning from Xiangcheng is to go to the capital. The Mei family must be eliminated, otherwise, who knows how many more will come to kill me.

"Fine, since you've revealed so many secrets, you can die now!"

After saying that, Chu Chen ended Wu Changgen's life with a single shot.

Chu Chen is not a saint, nor does he have the compassion to treat the world kindly. As for those who want to kill him, he must be prepared to die.

Wu Changgen never dreamed that he would die such a miserable death in such a desolate place. He was afraid that by nightfall, not even a trace of his flesh would remain.

After killing Wu Changgen, Chu Chen had Gou Shengzi continue driving the carriage.

Five days later, we finally arrived in Xiangcheng and saw a large sugarcane field in front of us, based on the address provided by Niu Zi.

"Brother Chen, this is the sugarcane that Brother Niu was talking about. It's so lush. If someone were to hide inside, they wouldn't be able to find them at all."

Chu Chen led Gou Shengzi into the sugarcane field, and Gou Shengzi asked with a curious look.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a series of humming and groaning sounds came from ahead.

"Brother Chen, there's a wild boar..."

Upon hearing the voice, Gou Shengzi immediately tensed up, drew his long sword, and whispered to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen slapped him on the head: "Shut up, it's not a wild boar."

"Not a wild boar?"

"Hurry up, it won't be good if we see it later."

After saying that, Chu Chen pulled Gou Shengzi and tried to walk out of the sugarcane field, but unexpectedly, with a snap, Gou Shengzi stepped on a dead branch.

The humming and chirping sounds from the sugarcane field abruptly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a dark-skinned man emerged from the sugarcane field, cursing and swearing.

While fastening his pants, he yelled at Chu Chen, "Who are you? You scared the hell out of me! Pay up!"
