Start Six Maids

"The unitary rooster is one of the twelve earthly branches!"

"Besides, I also killed the rat, the ugly cow, the snake and the pig."

Zheng Shushan stared at Chu Ci dumbfounded when he heard the words, and then said after a long while, "Brother Chu, as your former direct superior, how come I don't know these things?!"

Chu Ci touched his nose, thought of an excuse and said, "This..."

Before Chu Ci finished speaking, Zheng Shushan stood up, "Forget it, these are not important!"

"The Earthly Branch of the Demon League sneaked into Shengjing City, I have to report to Lord Tongzhi immediately!"

Zheng Shushan quickly walked out of the office holding the chicken demon feather.

Chu Ci shrugged and walked out of the office.

"Then let the people above have a headache."

It's not that Chu Ci never thought of handing Ling Yu directly to His Majesty the Empress, but considering that Her Majesty was overworked last night, she couldn't help criticizing her, so it's better not to bother her.

After leaving the office, Chu Ci directly left the Headquarters of the Department of Weird Affairs.

As for becoming a bronze medalist, he needs to work at the headquarters.

Chu Ci said that he didn't even have subordinates, so what class did he still sit in?Wouldn't it be nice to just go out and drink tea and listen to music?

On the West Street, Chu Ci originally planned to find a teahouse at random to have a meeting.

"I heard that Miss Gongsun is performing a sword dance at the Xiaoer Teahouse today, let's go and take a seat!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Two men with knives and swords in quack attire crossed Chu Ci and left in a hurry.

"Xiao Er Tea House?"

Chu Ci murmured and repeated, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "This name is also unique."

It wasn't until Chu Ci followed the two men all the way to the teahouse that he learned the real name of the teahouse.

Xiaoer, let's make a pot of tea!

The name of the teahouse is 'Xiaoer, let's make a pot of tea'.

In front of the serious names such as Wen Tea House, Pinxiang Pavilion, Tingfeng Tea House, etc., this teahouse looks quite fresh and refined.

He strode into the teahouse and shouted, "Xiao Er, come make a pot of tea!"

As soon as the words came out, there was a gust of martial arts rushing towards him.

The decoration in the teahouse also has a Jianghu atmosphere. Decorative weapons such as knives, guns, swords and halberds are hung on the four walls, and even the tea table seats have traces of sword marks and knife carvings.

"Xiaoer, let's make a pot of tea!"

Chu Ci stepped into the teahouse and shouted at the counter.

"okay!"

The busy Xiao Er agreed.

Chu Ci looked around the teahouse left and right, and when he looked at a corner, he couldn't help being slightly startled.

"Drunk Taoist? Why is he here?"

Chu Ci saw the figure of the drunk Taoist in front of a desk in the corner.

Stepping closer, Chu Ci sat opposite the drunk Taoist.

"Daozhang, we meet again."

Chu Ci smiled and greeted the drunk Taoist.

The drunk Taoist looked up at Chu Ci, twirled his beard lightly and smiled, "Little friend, why are you here?"

Chu Ci was startled, then smiled and said, "Come to the teahouse, of course to drink tea!"

"Hehe..." The drunk Taoist said with a chuckle, "You don't know how to change your clothes when you come here to drink tea?"

The drunk Taoist raised his finger and pointed to the tea customers around him, and motioned, "If you weren't sitting opposite the poor road, you might have been kicked out!"

Chu Ci followed the drunk Taoist's line of sight, but saw that all the tea drinkers around him put their hands on their weapons and looked at him unkindly.

After the drunk Taoist cupped his hands towards these tea guests, these people turned their heads and stopped looking at Chu Ci.

Seeing this, Chu Ci was slightly taken aback, and asked the drunken Taoist aloud, "Master Taoist, do they seem to be hostile to me?"

The drunk Taoist said with a smile, "It's not hostility, but guard!"

Looking at Chu Ci, the drunk Taoist asked, "Little friend, have you seen their clothes clearly?"

Chu Ci nodded and said, "They all look like people from the Jianghu, which is rare in Shengjing City."

"Why did they all gather in this teahouse?"

"Haha..." The drunken man let out a long laugh when he heard the words.

"Because of the name of this teahouse!"

Seeing that Chu Ci was still puzzled, Taoist Zui explained aloud, "'Little Er, let's make a pot of tea', this teahouse is different from other teahouses."

"It is a teahouse belonging to the Jianghu people!"

"The teahouse we're staying at now is just a branch of it in Shengjing City!"

Chapter 137 The mysterious behind-the-scenes boss of the teahouse

"Branch?"

Chu Ci looked at the drunk Taoist in surprise, "Could it be that there are many 'little two, let's make tea' in the Longyan Empire?"

The drunk Taoist stroked his beard lightly, and said with a smile, "Not only the Longyan Empire, but also the surrounding small countries have branches of this teahouse!"

"It is said that it is a teahouse belonging to people from the Jianghu because this teahouse only welcomes people from the Jianghu."

"It is a place for people in the rivers and lakes to rest in their leisure time, and it can also be said to be a platform for news exchange and communication."

After listening to the drunken Taoist's explanation, Chu Ci's face showed a sudden expression.

What is a man in the rivers and lakes?

The Dragon Flame Empire expressly stipulates that, except for the members of the Department of Unreliable Affairs, all other extraordinary people, or forces of extraordinary people, belong to the people in the Jianghu.

This includes the Heavenly Human Sect of Taoism, as well as members of the original church who fear that the world will not be chaotic.

According to the regulations of the Longyan Empire, Chu Ci and the tea guests in the teahouse are divided into two camps. Of course, these tea guests must be on guard against Chu Ci.

"There is such an interesting place!"

"Ha ha···"

Chu Ci smiled and shook his head.

Looking at the drunk Taoist, Chu Ci asked curiously, "Master Taoist, who is the owner of this teahouse?"

The drunken Taoist shook his head and said with a smile, "How does the poor Taoist know?"

Chu Ci was slightly surprised, "The Taoist priest didn't know?"

Zui Taoist always looked omniscient in front of Chu Ci, never thought that he didn't know the behind-the-scenes owner of this teahouse.

The drunk Taoist stroked his beard lightly, and sighed softly, "The poor Taoist is not a true immortal, how can he know everything?"

"However, Pindao knows that this teahouse suddenly appeared three years ago, and then swept through the Longyan Empire and surrounding countries at a terrifying speed!"

"Now 'Xiao Er, let's make tea' has become a part of the Jianghu, and it can no longer be separated!"

Hearing this, Chu Ci's eyes flashed strangely, and he rose up like lightning in three years. The owner of this teahouse is very skillful!

Looking at the drunken Taoist, Chu Ci asked in a low voice, "Master Taoist, do you know why the boss behind the scenes did this?"

"Is it just to sell tea to make money?"

The drunken Taoist chuckled lightly, "Little friend, I'll settle an account for you."

"Take this teahouse in Shengjing City as an example. A pot of tea is only ten renminbi, and the best tea is only half a penny."

Pointing to the tea on the desk, the drunk Taoist continued, "As long as you order a pot of tea, you can sit here and drink for an hour, and no one will care about you if you drink for a day."

"So at the end of the day, the price of tea sold is no more than three taels of silver."

"But what about the shop rent here? At least five taels a day!"

The drunken Taoist looked at Chu Ci, and said with a smile, "The price difference of two taels a day, if you really sell tea to make money, I'm afraid you will have to pay for it!"

Chu Ci nodded, "That's true, then why does this teahouse open all over the Longyan Empire?"

The drunken Taoist squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "The poor Taoist told my little friend before, news!"

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up!

Yes, it's news!

Sometimes, news is the most valuable thing!

The drunken Taoist took a sip from the cup of tea, and motioned Chu Ci to look in the direction of the counter, "Little friend, look over there."

Chu Ci took advantage of the situation to look at the counter of the teahouse, and saw that the shopkeeper was looking down at a stack of papers.

There was also a big man standing in front of the counter. The big man was full of beards, wearing coarse linen clothes, and carrying a long knife on his back.

The shopkeeper lowered his head and rummaged for a while, then pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to the big man.

There should be something written on the paper, and the big man's face changed slightly after reading it for a while.

Snapped!

The big man threw a bag of silver directly to the shopkeeper, and then hurriedly left the teahouse without looking back.

Chu Ci saw it clearly, the big man threw at least 30 taels of silver to the shopkeeper!

The tea drinkers around are not surprised, it seems that such a situation is not uncommon, but happens from time to time.

Chuci understood that the real purpose of this teahouse was to sell information!

Thinking about this, Chu Ci felt a chill in his heart.

A teahouse selling intelligence is not scary.

The frightening thing is that this teahouse opened all over the Longyan Empire, and even radiated to surrounding countries!

The effect of such a huge information network can be called terrifying!

If the behind-the-scenes owner of the teahouse wants to harm the Longyan Empire, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble!

Chu Ci picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea to suppress his shock.

Looking at the drunk Taoist, Chu Ci asked in a deep voice, "Master Taoist, really no one knows who is behind the scenes of the teahouse?"

The drunk Taoist shook his head slightly, and said, "The identity of the owner behind the teahouse is extremely mysterious, and no one has ever seen the true appearance of the owner behind the scenes."

After pondering for a moment, the drunk Taoist said, "There are rumors that the boss behind the teahouse is the Night Killer Organization."

"Some say it's the empress of the Dragon Flame Empire, and some say it's the lunatics from the Primordial Church."

"Some even say it's the succubus summoned by the original church three years ago!"

"Ha ha···"

Speaking of this, Taoist Zui couldn't help laughing, "In short, there are different opinions, and there is no accurate answer."

Looking at Chu Ci, the drunk Taoist said aloud, "But this teahouse is only selling news, and there is no other action, so you don't have to worry about it."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and poured a cup of tea for the drunk Taoist, "I'm curious why the Taoist came to this teahouse."

"Shouldn't the priest be in the tavern?"

The drunken Taoist stared at Chu Ci, and said, "Stinky boy, can't poor Taoists drink tea?"

Chu Ci glanced at a wine gourd placed on the tea table, and said with a smile, "Before the Taoist priest says this, it's best to put away the wine gourd first."

"Cough cough!"

The drunken Taoist coughed lightly, stroked his beard and said, "Poverty Daoist can be regarded as a member of the Jianghu, isn't it strange to come to this teahouse?"

"And the poor don't need money for drinking?"

"Come to this tavern and just do a fortune telling, and you can make Pindao drink for a few days!"
