Chapter 208 Lancang Society
Shan Dajun: "..."
If he hadn't seen Shang Wan beating someone with his own eyes, he would have believed it.
Shan Dajun resisted the desire to say something and waved to his men, "Take them away."
The officials came forward, took the three people out of the cage, and locked the shackles.
I was already angry when I got up early, and I had to go out to arrest people. The yamen officials vented all their grievances on the three of them.
The three of them were beaten violently by Shang Wan. Although there were no injuries on their faces, their bodies were scarred and it hurt wherever they touched.
The three of them grimaced in pain and wished they could curse all the government officials.
"Wait a minute!" The people from the gambling house received the news and rushed over to stop him.
The three men in black suddenly became hopeful and asked the steward for help.
The steward glared at the three of them fiercely, turned to Shan Dajun, nodded and bowed, and asked him to lend him a step to speak.
Shan Dajun raised his eyelids to look at him. There was no trace of his usual accommodating expression on his face, and he refused to move a step.
"If you have anything to say, just say it here. Hurry up and don't stop me from getting someone."
The steward paused in embarrassment. He usually showed filial piety to this man, so why didn't he even give him this little face?
He glanced at the beautiful woman standing aside. Could it be because of her?
The steward's mind was racing, thinking of countermeasures, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a young man running towards him.
"Manager Zhou, my boss ordered you to go back immediately."
Manager Zhou was stunned and didn't dare to delay. He picked up his clothes and ran as fast as a dog could chase him.
The abandoned trio in black: "???"
Shang Wan: "..."
Is this the end? What on earth is this Manager Zhou doing?
She turned to look at Shan Dajun and asked in a low voice: "Who is the owner of Linglong Casino?"
Shan Dajun said in a surprised tone, "You don't know?"
Shang Wan: "???"
Should she know?
Seeing that Shang Wan really didn't know, Shan Dajun pointed to the shop and said, "Whose shop does this belong to? He is the owner of Linglong Gambling House."
Shang Wan: "..."
Boss Zhong has a wide range of business.
"I thought you knew." Shan Dajun looked at Shang Wan, "You went against the people in the gambling house and slapped the boss in the face in public. I thought you wanted to change shops."
The corners of Shang Wan's lips twitched: "I really don't have that plan."
If she had known that the owner of Linglong Gambling House was Zhongli, she would have... well, she would have followed suit.
No matter who you are, you must not lose in a fight.
The officials escorted the unlucky trio away, and the people watching the excitement also dispersed one after another.
Shang Wan stretched out his hands and took his two children to have breakfast next door.
The boss lady has already prepared the food, and it looks like the portion is larger than what other diners have on the table.
The landlady sat across from Shang Wan with a smile on her face, "Sister, I want to tell you something good."
Shang Wan nodded and listened to her while drinking porridge.
"Sister, I would like to ask, you have two children by yourself. Is your man gone?"
"Pfft--" Shang Wan spat out a mouthful of porridge, choking and coughing.
The proprietress called the waiter to clean up, then pushed the soy milk to Shang Wan's hand, "Look, why are you still choking? Take two sips of the soy milk and squeeze it down."
Shang Wan patted his chest and looked at her. Don't you know the reason?
"My husband is still alive."
The proprietress looked at her and said, "Sister, please don't lie to me. I am also a widow and I will not discriminate against you."
Shang Wan: "..." The landlady held Shang Wan's hand, "Sister, tell me the truth."
"My husband is alive and well." Shang Wan took out his hand and said, "I'll introduce you to him tomorrow."
The landlady stared at Shang Wan's face without giving up, "Is he really not dead?"
Shang Wan: "..."
No, how much do you want me to be a widow?
Can you wish me a better life?
"Really not. Maybe you can see him today."
She and her two children didn't go back last night because it was late and they didn't send anyone to deliver a letter home. The family might be worried and they might go to the city to look for her later.
After listening to Shang Wan's words, the landlady's expression was stern and slightly regretful.
Shang Wan asked curiously: "What is the good thing you just said?"
"It is not easy for women to do business outside. Mrs. Shu from Buzhuang took the lead in establishing a Lancang Club, and only women were admitted as members. The sisters who joined the club helped each other. If anyone was in trouble, just say a word, and the sisters would rush over to help."
The proprietress was also thinking about Shang Wan, "Your shop has provoked people from Linglong Casino before it even opened. You will be in trouble in the future. I'm thinking about inviting you to join the club. With the help of sisters, people from Linglong Casino will also be wary of you." "
"However, there is a condition for joining the society. There cannot be a husband-in-law or the husband-in-law dies, and the reconciliation is completed."
Shang Wan was confused: "Why?"
Is it possible that in order to do business, one must first sacrifice a husband?
“When the club was first established, this rule was added because something bad happened to the men.” The landlady didn’t know what she thought of, and her brows became a little more depressed.
She sighed, "Since you are a good husband, you do not meet the club's recruitment requirements. Just pretend that I didn't say that."
Shang Wan: "..."
I hate talking only half a sentence!
The landlady didn’t want to reveal too much to people outside the club, so Shang Wan had no choice but to give up and leave after the two children had finished eating.
As expected by Shang Wan, someone from her family came to the city to look for her.
"Sister, you're fine." When Xiaohuan saw the person, her anxious heart relaxed.
Neither the elder nor the child came back last night. The three of them were at home with their necks stretched out in anticipation.
It's one thing to know that nothing will happen to Shang Wan due to his ability, but it's another thing to worry about it.
Xiaohuan specially explained for Lu Chengjing, "Originally, my brother-in-law was also coming, but this morning Uncle Wu and Brother Yuan came to see my brother-in-law to discuss preparing herbal medicine, and my brother-in-law couldn't leave."
Shang Wan nodded, pulled Xiaohuan to sit down, and poured her a cup of tea.
"How did you get here?"
Xiaohuan said: "Zhang Er goes to the city to sell vegetables. I'll take his car."
Shang Wan: "You stay in the city today, and we will go back together in the evening."
"Okay." Xiaohuan held the teacup and was a little curious, "Sister, what happened to you yesterday?"
Before Shang Wan could say anything, Chu Xu, who was standing next to him, started talking about the future, focusing on the excitement of last night and Shang Wan's heroic appearance.
Xiaohuan was speechless when she heard this. She glanced at the fat and strong black dog and said to Shang Wan: "There are everyone in the gambling shop. What if they do harm again?"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the closed door.
Wu Kai came to work with his two nephews.
Shang Wan stood up and introduced a few people to each other and got to know each other briefly.
Xiao Huan took a second look at the long scar on Wu Kai's face.
The scar stretched horizontally from the corner of the left eye to the right cheek, bulging ferociously like a dancing centipede, which looked quite scary.
Wu Kai has long been accustomed to other people's surprised looks when they see scars. Because of this scar, he is already in his thirties and has not yet gotten married.
I don’t know how many matchmakers have been invited. His conditions are not bad, and there are many girls who are willing to marry him based on the conditions.
He said it well at first, but as soon as the girl saw the scar on his face, she would either run away in fear or cry in fear, but no one could succeed. Gradually, Wu Kai stopped thinking about getting a wife.
