  ————————————————

  This is no ordinary coincidence.

  Ren You and others happened to go out of the city for inspection, as a result, someone came to smash the scene.

  It seems like a coincidence at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you'll find something fishy. Too coincidental, it's just too coincidental!

  Being able to grasp the whereabouts of people like Ren You is not something that many people in Pei County can do. And yet, Yong Chi is one of the few who can actually do it. If this matter has nothing to do with Yong Chi, then that would be the real joke.

  Liu Jian had already made up his mind even though he hadn't arrived at the scene yet.

  Duling Old Wine is the name given by Ren Yu for this storefront of Liu Kan.

  This Du Rong, located in the eight hundred miles of Qin River. According to Ren Yue's understanding of Liu Quan's origin, he is a descendant of the Liu family of Tang State. After the Liu family of Tang State was destroyed by Western Zhou, they were enfeoffed as the state of Du Rong. Ren Yue gave this name with very deep meaning inside.

  Unfortunately, Liu Kan didn't know.

  Even now, he still doesn't understand why Ren Xiao gave him such a name.

  Not just him, but everyone including Tang Li, Shi Zuhe and Zhou Chang didn't understand the meaning of Du Ling's two words.

  At this time, the black and gold sign hanging on the shop was still in the street.

  Dozens of empty bottles piled up at the door were smashed to pieces, Cheng Miao was covered in blood, and with the support of a young man, he still stood stubbornly outside the door. The house was already in disarray, two or three workers hired by Shi were lying on the ground, groaning non-stop.

  A young man, seemingly in his early twenties, with a kerchief wrapped around his head, stood tall inside the store, loudly shouting.

  "You scoundrel merchants, you clearly have good wine but insist on selling us inferior wine... I'm telling you, if you don't give me the good wine today, I'll burn this place down with one torch... You old dog, hurry up and call that so-called Liu family heir for me!"

  "I'd like to ask him how he does business!"

  The so-called "headscarf" is an ancient headscarf that wraps around the head, and it also has a specific way of wearing.

  Wrap a headscarf around your head, with hair exposed in the middle. The front is high and the back is low, which can determine identity based on whether or not to add a crown.

  Wrapped in a kerchief and not yet wearing a crown, most are relatively wealthy commoners. These people mainly engage in business travel, wear white clothes, and distinguish themselves by the color of their kerchiefs. Among the Seven Warring States, there is Han Shangqing! This young man's head wrapped in a green kerchief has already revealed his identity as a descendant of the Han royal family. His white robe sets off his outstanding and elegant demeanor.

  Is this what's left of the Han people?

  Although the fact of the six countries' unification has been accepted by most people, there are still some who are unwilling to face it.

  This young man must be one of them.

  Liu Jian saw that there was only one person and he was unarmed, so he handed the Wushan sword to Zhou Chang, parted the crowd, and came to the front of the store.

  In an instant, the street was quiet.

  Cheng Miao walked over with the help of a young shop assistant, "Master, Cheng Miao is incompetent and allowed this thief to be arrogant, unable to protect the store."

  A head full of white hair made the blood on Cheng Miao's face look even more striking.

  "Old Zhou, take everyone to find Lang Zhong... Old Cheng, this matter has nothing to do with you, go back and work at the workshop later."

  "Hi!"

  Cheng Miao responded with a single word in his usual Qin dialect manner.

  Zhou Chang found a few people, carefully walked into the store, avoiding the plague god and bypassing the young man, and carried the injured person out. The young man did not block them, but stared at Liu Jian with piercing eyes, his hands clenched into fists, with a vigilant expression.

  He has also been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and when Liu Jian appeared, he felt a kind of pressure.

  He's a tough guy to deal with...

  Liu Jian ignored the young man, bent down to pick up the signboard, gently brushed off the dust on it, beckoned an attendant over, handed the signboard to him, and calmly smiled, saying in a low voice: "Go, hang the signboard again."

  Only then did he take a glance at the young man.

  But still ignored, turned around and said to the surrounding customers: "From today on, I'm sorry that our small shop will no longer serve merchants from Fengyang, Dingyuan and other places. This wine... will not be sold to anyone from those places again. If someone secretly sells it to them, our shop will treat them in the same way. Alright, nothing else to see, everyone can disperse now."

  Yingchuan, Fangxian...

  This is the territory of Gu Han. Liu Kan's words are very clear: from now on, any wine produced by Du Ling Lao Jiu will not be sold to Gu Hanzi Min. Whoever secretly sells wine to Gu Han merchants, this wine will no longer be sold to that person in the future.

  Monopoly!

  This is Liu Quan's advantage. The emergence of Xishui Huajiao has made Liu Quan occupy an unattainable high ground in the wine market. At least for ten years, no one can rival him. Even if the brewing formula spreads out, he is not afraid.

  There is a sign of Wansui wine placed there, and this Suishui Huadiao is the only winery recognized by the imperial court.

  The benefits of a planned economy are right here. Once connected with the government, this giant's status is unshakeable. Unless, there is a better wine than Wansui Wine to replace its position. But that is not something that can be done in a short time. Even if you brew a better wine than Wansui Wine, you need connections to present it to Qin Shi Huang, don't you?

  "Why?"

  The merchants outside the shop door were shocked and lost their color when they heard that it was a Korean merchant.

  Liu Kan revealed a smiling face, with snow-white teeth, but it made people feel somewhat frightened...

  "For no reason, I'm happy, I like... My own wine, I can sell it however I want, even smash it."

  When he said this, Liu Kan seemed to have inadvertently glanced at the young man in the store.

  Someone with a keen mind caught Liu Jian's action in an instant and immediately understood the reason behind his decision.

  "Gu Niang, you bastard, coming here to cause trouble, and even smashing Mr. Liu's shop. From now on, you father and son will never be able to do business in Xiangyang again."

  An old man came out, also wearing a white robe, with a green turban wrapped around his head, but he wore a black crown.

  This attire is enough to reveal his identity. This old gentleman must have great prestige among the Korean merchants.

  Baptize an infant?

  Liu Jian suddenly turned his head, staring blankly at the young man. Wasn't he Guan Yu? Although he couldn't quite recall what achievements he had made, Liu Jian could still remember that this was one of Liu Bang's top generals. However, his descendants seemed to have ended up in a rather pitiful state.

  A dozen or so Korean merchants jumped out and pointed at Nao's nose, scolding loudly.

  The merchants were eager for profit, and now that Guan Yu had cut off their financial road, how could they not be anxious? Hoping to sever ties with Guan Yu, Liu Qiang showed a hint of compromise. This scolding only left Guan Yu's face red and his ears burning, his mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't utter a word.

  "You scoundrel... how despicable!"

  When Guan Yu's eyes scanned over Liu Bei, he saw the mocking smile on his face. Suddenly enraged, he burst into a torrent of abuse.

  "A good man does things like a good man, that banner was pulled down by me, the wine in your store was smashed by me, and your men were beaten by me. If you have the ability, come at me! Why drag my fellow villagers into this?"

  Liu Kan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You smashed my store, that's your business, we'll settle the account later. But my wine, I like to sell it to whoever I want, at whatever price I want, what does it have to do with you?

  A good man does things well, a good man takes responsibility?

  "Ugh... do you think you're worthy? What makes you think you can be in charge? Do you know how much money these wines are worth that you've smashed? You've injured my people, how are you going to compensate them? You think you're some kind of hero, but you're just a foolish thug with strong limbs and a simple mind. You dare to reason with me? What qualifications do you have to reason with me? You want to be in charge? Then show me what you've got!"

  Liu Kan's words were reasonable and confident.

  The merchants surrounding the store, as well as the onlookers, cheered loudly.

  Liu Kan didn't wait for Guan Yin to open her mouth, and continued: "Let's talk about this cellar wine... Do you think it's that easy to brew?"

  "It takes a whole year to brew the wine, and once it's gone, it's gone. You have to wait till next year... All of you are smart people who know what's right and wrong. Tell me, if I, Liu Quan, still had some wine left, would I not sell it to you? Who can resist money? Would you? Would you? Aren't you all just waiting?"

  Liu Jian pointed at several merchants one after another, all of whom smiled and nodded in agreement with Liu Jian's words.

  "Everyone can wait, but you just can't... and you even dragged me down and ruined my business. You're really something!"

  Liu Kan's tone suddenly became particularly stern, "You're called Guan Yu, right? Who do you think you are? What do you think this place is? Everyone else follows the rules and does their job, but you come here causing trouble... Do you think people from Pei County are easy to bully?"

  This sentence has dragged in all the people of Pei County who were watching the excitement outside.

  "Ah Jian, beat him to death!"

  "Beat this scoundrel to death! He actually came to our Pudong County to cause trouble... Ah Kan, don't go easy on him..."

  At this time, even if there were people who wanted to stand up and plead for the baby, they all shrank back one by one, tightly closing their mouths.

  How dare you provoke public outrage!

  Infuriated, he suddenly let out a loud roar and pushed aside the Korean merchants, pouncing on Liu Yan.
