Naturally, Ren Baqian was unaware what happened in other places . From that day on, he became very busy .

He couldn't even care about the air cooler matter .

After Tong Jia finished making its outer case, Ren Baqian threw the matter to Caretaker s.h.i.+ .

As for its selling price, one air cooler would be sold for fifteen silver taels . In any case, those who bought this thing were definitely not ordinary individuals . Therefore, it did not matter if the air cooler was expensive .

This air cooler was too easy to make . It could definitely bring Ren Baqian some profits . However, once it hit the market, there would definitely be imitations of it very soon .

Even though Dayao people were not good at doing business, they weren't stupid . They could easily find someone to make imitations of the air cooler . He was basically placing money beneath their feet . It couldn't be possible that they did not know how to stoop down and pick up the money .

Even if the Dayao people were really stupid, there were still those merchants from other nations .

Right now, Ren Baqian wasn't concerned about this matter . Even though a few hundred silver taels were not a small sum of money, it wasn't an important matter to him .

He did not know that the air cooler piqued a lot of people's interests as soon as Caretaker s.h.i.+ placed it in the newly renovated shop at Jingyang Road .

Especially after Caretaker s.h.i.+ demonstrated how it could emit cold air by adding ice cubes to it . Out of a total of twenty air coolers seven had been sold on that day itself . The remaining thirteen were completely sold out on the second day .

Its sales were much better than Ren Baqian expected .

In fact, there was something that Ren Baqian did not know . Ever since the empress received the air cooler, she had been using it frequently during court sessions . Her ministers were already coveting it .

Therefore, when the ice coolers were displayed at Ren Baqian's shop, they were immediately sold out after someone discovered them .

The twenty air coolers made a profit of two hundred plus silver taels . Caretaker s.h.i.+ was stunned by this result . He immediately went to find Ren Baqian and told him about it .

Upon hearing this news, Ren Baqian was slightly surprised . He knew for sure that the ice coolers would be sold out, but he did not expect it to happen so fast .

He asked Caretaker s.h.i.+ to go back to that shop and make one hundred air coolers . He reckoned that they could sell one more batch of air coolers .

After handing the matter over to Caretaker s.h.i.+, Ren Baqian continued his work at the Honglu Bureau .

As the empress's birthday celebration drew closer, there were more and more people arriving in Lan City .

Most of them possessed businesses in Dayao . Since they frequently sent caravans to Dayao, they were extremely precise with the time needed to get to Dayao from their countries . Usually, they would reach approximately one week earlier than the appointed time .

At this point in time, more than seventy groups of people had arrived in Lan City . Most of them were carriage fleets . Other than gifts for the empress and family members, they also carried a huge amount of goods .

There was one more week until the empress's birthday celebration . Ren Baqian reckoned that more people would arrive in the next few days . He needed to bust his a.s.s off for a few more days before he could finally rest .

Ren Baqian threw away the writing brush, stretched his back, and let out a yawn .

He had indeed been very busy for the past few days . After all, it was unlike the past . Nowadays, he had to make decisions for many matters, arrange manpower, and even mediate disputes .

Just like what Ren Baqian antic.i.p.ated, those who came here weren't ordinary individuals . None of them were good-hearted . All of them were used to tyrannizing people in their own countries .

"What are you looking at?"

"Why can't I look at you?"

"What did you say? F*ck you! Attack him!"

Most of the disputes started out like this .

In this world, there were many formidable individuals . Ren Baqian had seen a few recently . These arrogant and despotic n.o.bles could not change their bad habits even when they were in Dayao .

Even in China, a technologically advanced country, there were plenty of such people, let alone in a feudal society .

Even though examples had been set up for them to see, they still did not care about anything when they were in the heat of the moment .

These few days, Ren Baqian hung another three persons to death . He hung them alive .

Xiong Pi placed a rope on each of their necks and pulled them up . The three persons struggled non-stop until they stopped breathing .

Such a method had intimidated many of the arrogant and tyrannical n.o.bles .

Ren Baqian was like a terrorizing ghost to them now .

Ren Baqian was far too ruthless . Furthermore, he wore an amiable look on his face all the time . Even when he was giving order to kill someone, the amiable look on his face did not change at all .

These n.o.bles were used to seeing people getting killed . Some of them had even personally murdered people before . However, Ren Baqian's actions still sent a cold s.h.i.+ver down their spines . Especially when they saw the monster-like Xiong Pi behind him .

After a few more incidents like this—no matter what happened—so long as Ren Baqian and Xiong Pi were there, everyone would scatter like alarmed birds .

The news of these incidents spread throughout Lan City .

Many people already knew that the seemingly kind and gently Honglu Deputy was actually a vicious and merciless individual .

The n.o.bles from the other three nations hated Ren Baqian to the core . They wished they could slice him to death . They had been thinking non-stop how they would torture Ren Baqian if he fell into their hands .

If Ren Baqian really fell into their hands, they wouldn't let him die that easily .

However, since they were in Dayao now, they had no choice but to give in to him . At this point in time, all of them were convinced that Ren Baqian held more power than them in Lan City .

In the past, every year during the empress's birthday celebration, these people would create a lot of trouble . However, this year, the number of disputes that happened had decreased significantly . Even the public order bureau felt very puzzled .

In a mountain stronghold, one day's journey from Lan City, Qi Zhi was using a dagger to carve a puppet . Suddenly, he heard a racket at his doorstep . A huge man rode a horse into the stronghold . Then, he jumped down and strode towards Qi Zhi . "You are leading a rather carefree life here huh . "

Qi Zhi immediately laughed and replied, "It's still better than handling those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds . This year I can finally not see those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds . I will rather Her Majesty throw me into the army and I will still be carefree there . "

"You should have won the battle then . " After hearing these words from the huge man, Qi Zhi's face turned dark in an instant .

"How is it going at the Honglu Bureau? Has the lad been tormented to death by those people?" Qi Zhi changed the topic .

Upon hearing these words, the big man's facial expression turned slightly odd .

"What happened?" Qi Zhi asked with curiosity after seeing his facial expression .

"Hehe, whenever they see Ren Baqian now, they are like mice seeing a cat . "

Hearing these words, Qi Zhi's curiosity was immediately piqued . He asked, "What happened? When I was working there, those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds created trouble for me every day . At that time, I wished I can strangle them to death . "

The huge man laughed out loud and told Qi Zhi what happened .

"Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are really frightened this time around . Whenever they see him, they will be frightened to death . Wherever he stands, any dispute will go away on its own . "

Qi Zhi touched his short hair and cursed, "G.o.dd.a.m.nit! Last year I broke four persons' legs but those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds did not even care . They obviously think I'm bulliable . Next year, if they create trouble for me, I will slaughter them as well . If it weren't for the fact that they are going to present Her Majesty with gifts, don't you think I wanted to kill them?"

The huge man laughed again and shook his head . Following which, he replied, "You can't scare them . You might be tyrannical and you have no qualms about killing people, but you're still different from that lad . He is like a snake . I have never seen him in action with my own eyes . However, I did hear that he always has a smiling look on his face . He will ask Xiong Pi to put a rope around their necks and pull it to hang them to death . There's nothing scary about killing people with swords . He can smile and pamper you while stabbing a knife through your heart . This certainly strikes fear into people's hearts . "

Qi Zhi threw the dagger in his hand and stuck it to a wooden board in front of him . He couldn't believe that weak-looking lad was doing a better job than him, and he felt slightly sullen .

"d.a.m.n it! Initially I still thought that lad wa going to be tormented to death . I was thinking why Her Majesty did not want to send someone formidable . I didn't expect this lad to be this formidable," Qi Zhi cursed . Then, he slapped the huge man's thigh and asked, "Anyway who did you hear this from?"

"Those people from the Chen Nation told me," the huge man chuckled .
