Chapter 1135 - Chapter 1135 Chapter 1135 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: Killing Two Birds with One Stone Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: Killing Two Birds with One Stone “Charge! Brothers, advance.”

Clearly, Shopkeeper Sheng’s words had an effect; a group of men looked at Su Yunjin with eyes that glittered with greed, as if she were a treasure easily within their reach.

Gu Ya had realized that, to Shopkeeper Sheng, the life of the manager was worthless; Shopkeeper Sheng only cared about himself.

He had no concern for the manager at all.

Seeing a group of men charging at him and Gu Ya’s knife pressed against his neck, the manager trembled all over in fright, afraid that with one slice, his life would be over.

Since threatening Shopkeeper Sheng was useless, Gu Ya kicked the manager, sending him flying out, and with a thud, the manager hit the ground.

He nearly smashed into Shopkeeper Sheng’s foot.

Shopkeeper Sheng hurriedly stepped back to avoid being hit, and Gu Ya stood in front of rows of rice wine with Su Yunjin standing behind him.

Although a group of men charged at them, Su Yunjin was not afraid. Gu Ya held his little wife’s hand, comforting her.

“Yunjin, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you.” Su Yunjin wasn’t scared; she looked at Gu Ya, nodded, her eyes full of trust. Gu Ya spoke to his little wife, then picked up a jar of wine and hurled it towards the advancing group. The fruit wine smashed, and the men dodged and retreated.

Gu Ya then picked up another jar of wine and hurled it again.

The men kept retreating.

After smashing five or six jars of wine continuously, the surrounding wine was all used up by Gu Ya, and he didn’t throw anymore. His knife targeted one of the approaching men, and he stabbed fiercely. With one stab, the man’s shoulder was covered in blood, and then Gu Ya kicked the man to the ground.

Seeing one of their own injured, the others hesitated, not daring to advance. Money was important, but life was more so; they wouldn’t trade their lives for money.

Seeing that the men dared not advance further, Shopkeeper Sheng shouted angrily, “What? Scared like this? Don’t you want the silver anymore?”

One hundred and twenty taels.

That was a significant amount.

Still, there were those who, driven by greed, paid no heed to danger. After Shopkeeper Sheng shouted, several men charged again, and Gu Ya had his knife out.

The men hesitated, not daring to come closer. Neither side could gain the upper hand, and Shopkeeper Sheng was a shrewd man.

With Gu Ya occupied, he had the chance to allow Mr. Fan to escape. He hurried to the backyard, planning for Mr. Fan, who had been disguised by him, to risk escaping from the front of the shop.

Mr. Fan wore the Xingyu Winery worker’s uniform and had his face blackened with pot ash, completely disguising his original appearance.

If not looked at carefully, no one could recognize who Mr. Fan was.

First, he took the opportunity to let Mr. Fan escape. Next, Shopkeeper Sheng planned to settle his score with Gu Ya. His shop had suffered with two men wounded by the knife.

Without capturing anyone, he would first accuse Gu Ya of defamation, and then accuse him of using the protection of Prince Qi Residence to act arrogantly at his Xingyu Winery. Even if the Magistrate wanted to help Gu Ya, without solid evidence, he wouldn’t be able to. By that time, not only would Gu Ya face severe punishment from the Magistrate, but even the Prince Qi Residence might no longer support Gu Ya and his wife.

After all, the reputation of the Wang Residence was important.

No matter how much the Old Duchess liked Gu Ya and his wife, she wouldn’t allow anything that would damage the reputation of the Wang Residence to occur.
