Qiu was worried and anxious.
Just say that he was a petty thief who stole from the Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce. Whatever he did, he could do whatever he wanted. He could rely on the power of the court and the connections of the Chamber of Commerce, and he could solve the case no matter what. He could get a large amount of Xuanwu silver coins from the Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce, and give them as gifts to the superiors, and he could get promoted and make a fortune.
Ideals are full, but reality is skinny. Who would have thought that this would be a real setback.
This man alarmed two of the six marshals, and the first two.
These two marshals are not from the same faction. Marshal Long belongs to the current prince's party, a die-hard royalist; Marshal Tiger belongs to the King of the West, the most capable general under the King of the West.
The two of them have always been at odds with each other and have been hostile to each other for a long time.
Who is this guy I caught who can have the best of both worlds
Dong Bao waited for half an hour, but did not see Qiu Yuan and his men coming. Dong Bao became irritable and got angry easily.
When they brought people to the prison, they saw Ye Xiangyang and others hiding in the prison. No matter what Qiu Yuan said, they refused to come out.
Dong Bao came over, and Hu Shuai's guards also hurried over. If these guys were taken away by Long Shuai's men, Hu Shuai would be furious when he returned home, and they brothers would be in trouble.
When I asked around, I found out that not long ago, Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce had snatched the pet animals of these two young masters, and they would not leave this prison until the pet animals were returned.
Dong Bao came over and slapped Qiu Yuan twice: "Fuck you, you guys just robbed the young master's things, why don't you go and get them back from me."
Qiu Yuan said with a sad face: "General Dong, you don't know that I sent people to retrieve it half an hour ago."
Dong Bao kicked him aside and said, "You bastard, you don't know what's good for you. We'll talk later."
Dong Bao politely invited Ye Xiangyang out of the prison.
Ye Xiangyang nodded: "Since General Dong and these brothers have said so, I will obey their orders reluctantly. Otherwise, I will never leave this prison."
Dong Bao and the others all had dark lines on their faces, thinking: Do you think this prison is good or something? You really think you are a piece of cake.
Officer Qiu took a picture of the people from the Chamber of Commerce returning, and they said that the pet animals that Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce brought over were lost.
The manager took the two lions back and went to the Chamber of Commerce to report to the elders. However, when he opened the box, there was nothing inside.
This frightened the steward so much that he searched the sedan chair he was sitting in front of and behind, left and right, but could not find any trace of the two lions.
The elder of the Chamber of Commerce looked at the steward with a sneer on his face: You better pack it for me, pack it as hard as you can, the two monsters will disappear into nothingness if they are put into this box, and besides, you said that the talisman has been imprinted into the lion's mind, so they will remain asleep, how could this happen now
The manager was about to cry, and swore to heaven, "This is absolutely true, why don't you ask these subordinates."
Just at this moment, Qiu Yuan's personal guards arrived.
They arrived at Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce and said, "Manager, Boss, please return the two lions as soon as possible. Now, Dragon Commander Duanmu Zhehui and Tiger Commander Hu Xingguo, take their dragon and tiger talismans and go to our barracks to invite the four captured guys to sit in their mansion. This matter cannot be delayed, otherwise, our General Qiu Yuan's life will be in danger."
The manager was about to cry. It was all that time. He had printed the talismans on the little lion himself and put them into the box with his own hands. However, when he brought them to Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce, he found that the little lion was gone.
Qiu Yuan's personal soldiers' faces suddenly drooped. Although Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce is powerful and has a strong backing, you can't lie to our faces like this.
You took away the little lions from us, one golden and one fiery red. You just touched your lower lips with your upper lips and said they were gone
Do you have a deep hatred against my General Qiu Yuan and come here specifically to take revenge
This is the crystal card worth 500,000 Xuanwu silver coins that you gave me. Our general didn't touch a single cent. We only ask you to return the little lion, or you can go with us to the barracks and explain it to General Tiger's personal guards and General Dragon's famous general Dong Bao.
The capital is now overcrowded, and public security is at a critical juncture. Anyone who dares to offend these knaves at this time will suffer a great loss, even if the Chamber of Commerce has a strong backing.
Helpless, the great elder and steward of Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce followed these people and came to the barracks.
When they entered the general's tent, Dong Bao sat in the middle of the tent, Marshal Long's men sat on the east side, and Marshal Hu's men sat on the west side.
Ye Xiangyang and three other people were with Dong Bao.
Ye Xiangyang looked at them coming and a happy expression appeared on his face: "General, look, they finally brought my pet back."
"You don't know that this beast pet is my dearest treasure. It has saved me from danger countless times. They are now mid-level Xuan beasts, which is equivalent to the Xuanzu cultivation level of us humans."
The manager of Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce had a bitter face and bowed to Dong Bao, saying, "General, I put the two lions into this box, but when I returned to the Chamber of Commerce, I found that the box was empty. I don't know where the two lions went."
Ye Xiangyang's face changed color in an instant, and he looked terribly gloomy: "What did you say? When you arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, you found that he was gone. You can't say that even if you are talking nonsense."
Ye Xiangyang jumped up and jumped over to grab the manager by the collar: "It's lost. The beast pet is mine. You can say it's lost. It's lost. I tell you, even if you give me your Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce as compensation, I won't be willing to do it."
Ye Xiangyang's eyes turned red: "Do you know how much effort I put into getting this pet?"
Ping pong is just a bunch of slaps. Ye Xiangyang played while yelling, "Tell me, where is my lion?"
The manager was also an expert, but now that the Dragon and Tiger Generals had come to invite this kid, he didn't dare to make a move or dodge, and could only use his profound strength to resist. These slaps on the cheek were also a great embarrassment.
The Chamber of Commerce elder realized that the lion was really gone. He bowed to Dong Bao and said, "Our Chamber of Commerce will compensate for the two monsters. Please ask the general to plead for mercy."
Ye Xiangyang looked at the elder of the Chamber of Commerce and smiled coldly: "Compensation, one of mine is called the Golden Fire Lion, with the cultivation level of Xuanzu; the one of my brother is a bloodthirsty mad lion, with the cultivation level of Xuanzu. You think those monsters that your Chamber of Commerce caught from the forest are all prehistoric species."
The elder looked at the steward and asked, "Have you figured out their level?"
The steward didn't say anything, and the elder said, "You said it was a Xuanzu-level monster, so it is Xuanzu-level. Do you think Xuanzu-level monsters are cabbages?"
Ye Xiangyang bowed to Dong Bao and said, "General, this matter still requires the subordinates of Tiger Commander. Let Tiger Commander inform Zuoqiu Weitong, the first military advisor of the King of the Western Expedition. If he says that my lion is not up to standard, I will treat it as not up to standard."
One of General Hu's men ran towards the mansion at great speed and entered to report. It happened that Zuoqiu Weitong was inside the mansion.
Zuo Qiuwei heard the soldier's question and said, "Yes, that golden fire lion is a demon beast that has just entered the Xuanzu stage."
Zuoqiu Weitong also wrote a certificate himself and put his seal on the card.
Ye Xiangyang looked at Dong Bao and said, "General, I didn't lie, did I? Zuo Qiuwei and the military advisor wrote the certificate in person. What do you think of this?"
By now, the manager of Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce and the elder had beads of sweat the size of soybeans on their foreheads. They could not have imagined that the matter would have come to this point.
How could a kid without any background make the commanders of both sides show up for him? What was the reason for this
Finally, Ye Xiangyang sighed and said to the elders and managers of Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce, "Give me a fair price. What is the price of a Xuanzu-level Golden Fire Lion or a Bloodthirsty Mad Lion?"
The two of them calculated and said, "At least 4.5 million Xuanwu silver coins will be needed."
Ye Xiangyang sighed, his face full of grief and indignation: "Tell me why you did this. Do you know how many fatal crises these two lions have helped me solve? They are my saviors. I lost them. If you can't get them back, I will exchange them for 10 million Xuanwu silver coins. When you return my lions, I will give them to you. How about that?"
Dong Bao nodded. Ye Xiangyang's way of handling the matter was not unreasonable. He was not forcing anyone, so let it be.
The two heads of Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce staggered and nearly fell. They gathered together all the Chamber of Commerce funds in Jiuding City and borrowed some money from other business partners, finally amassing 10 million Xuanwu silver coins.
When the 10 million Xuanwu silver coins crystal card was placed in front of Ye Xiangyang, Ye Xiangyang took the crystal card and said, "I sold my savior for 10 million. I feel so sorry for them."
As he said this, he put these things into his storage ring.
After putting it into the storage ring, Ye Xiangyang's cheeks suddenly sank.
"General, I was just talking about my monster. While I was unconscious, my 600,000 Black Tortoise Silver Coins Crystal Card disappeared. I want to ask General Qiu Yuan where my funds went."
Qiu Yuan even wanted to die. When the hell did anyone take 600,000 yuan from you? This was something that should be punished by lightning. But at this moment, if Ye Xiangyang just opened his mouth, his life would be in danger. So he had no choice but to give the 500,000 yuan given to him by Chengxiang Chamber of Commerce, the 20,000 yuan given by the eight major families, and his own savings over the years and loans from others, a total of 600,000 yuan to Ye Xiangyang.
Ye Xiangyang took the crystal cards and looked at them carefully: "Look, this is my 500,000 crystal card, this is my 50,000 crystal card, you just said you didn't take it, now admit it."
"To be honest, one must be honest, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble."
Puff! Qiu Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, all over the floor.
"Look, this is retribution." Ye Xiangyang said.
