Chapter 271 The Troublemaker
"Young Miss, is someone causing trouble?" Hong Yi immediately widened her eyes.
Yunyi didn't speak or go forward, but just stood not far away watching. Soon, the entrance of the teahouse was surrounded by onlookers.
As the head of intelligence and the leader of the Vermilion Bird Hall, Zhao Xiaobei was also the manager of the Fengyun Teahouse, where the headquarters of the Vermilion Bird Hall was located.
"They're hitting people! The Fengyun Gang has killed someone!" The man who was kicked out started throwing a tantrum on the ground.
Pfft! Zhao Xiaobei, who followed him out, laughed: "Hey buddy, do you not know where you are?"
The man was stunned.
"This is Black City. What kind of place is Black City? A place of exile, a city of death." Zhao Xiaobei looked down at him. "Here, dying is easier than crushing an ant. And you actually come here to cause trouble?"
The people around burst into laughter.
Indeed, death is all too common in Black City. The law has little effect here; strength is the only thing that matters.
The man didn't speak, but looked at Zhao Xiaobei with a flickering gaze. Slowly, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
Yunyi frowned, and just as Zhao Xiaobei was about to have him thrown further away, she suddenly rushed over: "Everyone, make way."
"Guild Leader?" Zhao Xiaobei exclaimed in surprise.
"Get out of the way! This person is infected with the plague!" Yunyi didn't have time to respond, but shouted again, and then the silver needles in her hand flew out.
Upon hearing this, the people around were so frightened that they hurriedly scattered. Some even covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves. Although they lived a very humble life, they believed that it was better to live than to die. No one wanted to die if they could live.
Zhao Xiaobei also hurriedly took two steps back, raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The smile on that person's lips froze before it could spread, and he looked at Yun Yi in horror: "You..." He couldn't move.
"Who sent you?" Yunyi took out a mask, put it on, stopped others from getting close, and looked down at the other person.
The man's face contorted for a moment, and he was about to say something when he suddenly showed a pained expression. However, because he couldn't move, he could only look at Yun Yi in terror and scream, looking extremely uncomfortable.
"If you reveal who's behind this, I can save you."
The man looked up in surprise.
"It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death." Yunyi smiled. "Looking at your face, your children's palace is full, and although your temples are dark, they are not sunken, which means you have a wife and children, and even both sons and daughters. The sunken left side of your temples indicates that your father died early, but you have an elderly mother..."
The man's eyes gradually filled with surprise and disbelief.
“You don’t have much time left. If you don’t want to, then die.” Yunyi looked at him with pity, then turned to return to the teahouse. “Go get some quicklime. After this person dies, disinfect him with quicklime.”
"Okay." Zhao Xiaobei replied, "Achuan, quickly take some people to find quicklime."
A-Chuan is the deputy head of the Vermilion Bird Hall. He is an orphan who doesn't even know his own surname. He just gave himself a name on the spot. When he heard Zhao Xiaobei's instructions, he hurriedly called two of his men and ran off.
The man could feel the discomfort in his body, as if he was about to slam on the brakes at any moment. His will to survive made him nod vigorously: "Speak, I'll talk."
Yunyi stopped and turned to look at him: "You only get one chance."
The man nodded vigorously.
"Go ahead."
"Yes... Ah!" The man was about to say something when suddenly a flash of silver light appeared, and then his eyes widened as he fell to the ground with a gleaming dagger stuck in his throat.
"Stop!" Hongyi spotted the murderer and gave chase.
The people around gasped in surprise and then scattered completely, though some bolder ones secretly watched the situation unfold from a distance.
Yunyi glanced at the departing man's back and called Hongyi back. That man was clearly a suicide squad member; there was no point in chasing him, and there might even be an ambush.
Although Hong Yi was unwilling, he stopped pursuing the matter.
Just then, A-Chuan and his men brought over a basket of lime.
Yunyi pulled out the dagger and also put away the two silver needles. These were all silver; she couldn't waste them.
Then they were allowed to sprinkle quicklime around the body, thus enclosing it.
"You all stay away," Yun Yi instructed everyone, then took out the corpse-dissolving water from her spatial storage and poured it on the corpse.
The corpse-dissolving water was found on the assassins in Qinglong Mountain. There were two bottles in total, but we hadn't used them.
The corpse instantly emitted white smoke, then visibly turned into blood. Soon after, everyone saw black worms crawling out of the corpse and scattering in all directions.
Everyone who saw it couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Fortunately, there was quicklime surrounding it, and when the insects came into contact with the quicklime, they would sizzle and turn into blood.
"Boss, this..." Zhao Xiaobei's face turned pale.
"Luckily you found him early, and luckily I arrived in time." Yunyi took a deep breath. "If it had been any later, he would have self-destructed, and the insects would have scattered everywhere, and blood would have splattered everywhere. Anyone who touched him would have been infected."
Zhao Xiaobei, Achuan, and the others couldn't help but pat their chests, genuinely shaken.
"I'll prescribe some medicine in a bit, brew it, and everyone should drink it. All guests at the teahouse today will have it for free. Then we'll close for a break and reopen after the New Year," Yunyi hurriedly instructed.
Zhao Xiaobei had no objections and quickly made the arrangements.
The herbs were brewed directly in a large pot at the entrance of the teahouse, and everyone present today could have a bowl.
Everyone had witnessed the terrifying state of that person, so naturally they wouldn't refuse.
The busy work lasted until evening. After the teahouse doors closed, everyone was called into the lobby.
In addition to the people from Suzaku Hall, they also hired three waiters, two pastry and tea chefs in the kitchen, and two cleaning staff.
Yun checked the roster and introduced them: "Since you're all here at the teahouse, we're all family from now on. Work hard, and we won't treat you unfairly. But if you try to cheat or harbor malicious intentions, then..."
The rest didn't need to be explicitly stated; everyone knew the outcome. They hurriedly knelt down to pledge their loyalty. Of course, this loyalty was genuine. After all, they had clearly seen what had happened before, so they knew this gang leader was formidable. Why not work hard? Perhaps they could forge a path for themselves in the future.
"From now on, thoroughly clean and disinfect the entire teahouse, leaving no corner untouched." Yunyi pointed to the herbs beside her, "Boil them and sprinkle them in every corner for three consecutive days."
