The other party walked in slowly. He just gave a cold look at the manager named Zhang Wu, and the other party couldn't bear the pressure and knelt down, almost crawling on the ground.
"World-destroying Purple Eyes? Manager Zhang, why do I remember that four and a half years ago, you reported the True Flame Purple Crystal?"
Zhang Wu's face turned pale, and he knelt lower and lower, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground, sweating profusely: "Master, please forgive me! It was my fault, Master, please forgive me!"
When the two saw this scene, they understood clearly that it turned out that it was this Manager Zhang who made a false report and replaced the World-Destroying Purple Eye with the True Flame Purple Crystal, so the Wandao Chamber of Commerce did not track down his whereabouts.
When the purple pupils were auctioned, it was just a small auction, and the matter of the world-destroying purple pupils was not publicized. Baili Haoxuan also sent many people to investigate and finally found the Beiyue Kingdom, but he did not expect that there was a reason behind it.
But this kind of thing can be figured out clearly if you think about it. Since Manager Zhang auctioned off such a large amount of spirit stones, he would definitely get a lot of it, and the reported performance would also look good. So he took a risk and made a false report under someone else's name.
Di Xuanshang's face was cold and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Manager Zhang had already fallen in a pool of blood. He pinched the soul that came out of the other person's body, packed it up and threw it to Baili Haoxuan.
"As an apology, Prince Shengyuan can search your soul at will. The losses caused to your country this time will be fully borne by the Wandao Chamber of Commerce."
Baili Xuanyuan looked at the corpse at his feet and couldn't help but admire the man's decisiveness.
No wonder the Wandao Chamber of Commerce has always had a good reputation and has never had this kind of dispute. This Zhang Wu was just a rotten apple in the chamber of commerce, and now this rotten apple is gone.
"Thank you very much."
This matter was the fault of Wandao Chamber of Commerce, but the other party's attitude was satisfactory, and Baili Haoxuan did not intend to pursue it further.
Because even if we investigate, we won't find out anything. Being able to hand over Zhang Wu's soul to them for soul search is already the best result today.
Baili Haoxuan took Baili Xuanyuan away, and Di Xuanshang called out the second-in-command of the auction house with a sullen face.
thump!
The other party knelt on the ground, rolling and crawling.
"Master, please forgive me! Zhang Wu has absolute control over the auction house. I and my family are all here. I dare not report him! Zhang Wu is two-faced. I am really afraid of him!"
"That's enough. I'm not asking you this. Who took the photo of the World-Destroying Purple Eyes? Do you have any impression?"
"Yes! It was a man, wearing a pitch-black cloak, and speaking in a hoarse voice. Judging from his voice, he might be middle-aged or elderly. He was very generous, but it was strange that he even wore gloves on his hands and a black cloth covering his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, as if he couldn't stand the light."
He spoke without hesitation, trying to recall the details from more than four years ago.
"Also, Zhang Wu lied. The person who came to sell the purple pupils that day was not an old man, but a disguised woman. She was still very young, no more than 20 years old, but her face was not clear. She seemed to be in great need of money. She asked for 30 million and left immediately. She has never appeared since then."
"Why would Zhang Wu lie?" Di Xuanshang asked coldly.
"I...I don't know either."
Baili Haoxuan and Baili Xuanyuan returned to the inn, set up the barrier, and immediately searched Zhang Wu's soul.
This Zhang Wu is indeed not a good person. He even takes advantage of his knowledge of the customers' information to kill and rob those who have no background but are extremely wealthy.
They soon found Zhang Wu's memories from four and a half years ago.
Just like what Di Xuanshang learned, they "saw" a middle-aged man in a black cloak taking a picture of Zi Tong, but when he left, he was tracked by Zhang Wu, but Zhang Wu lost him because the other party had a very high level of cultivation.
Continuing to search the soul, the two "saw" a woman wearing an exaggerated mask coming to the auction house like a guilty thief and talking to Zhang Wu alone in a room.
"I want to auction this! This is a person's eyes transformed, and it is related to the royal family of the Shengyuan Empire. If you get it, you can sell it at a high price, and I guarantee you will make a lot of money! I will give you an extra commission of 2 million spirit stones in private!"
This woman, who deliberately lowered her voice, obviously knew that Zhang Wu was a greedy person. She immediately explained the origin of the World-Destroying Purple Eyes and offered a high price as bait.
Her tone disgusted the two men. Her eyes beneath the mask seemed to be flashing with a mercenary, shrewd, calculating, and somewhat malicious light.
It even made them feel that she might have seen these eyes being dug out with her own eyes, and watched them turn from living eyes into purple stones.
Baili Haoxuan squeezed Zhang Wu's soul tightly, almost crushing it.
"Royal brother! You haven't finished reading it yet!"
Baili Xuanyuan spoke out quickly, fearing that his royal brother would crush the soul and nothing would be visible.
But there was nothing interesting to see in the rest of the content. Zhang Wu was tempted. After hesitating, he took Zi Tong, looked at it again and again, and finally agreed to the woman.
However, he did not give the spirit stones in advance, but waited until the auction was over before giving the other party 20 million low-grade spirit stones.
Zhang Wu took 10 million for himself.
The woman was furious, but afraid of her identity being exposed, so she took the 20 million and left.
She never showed her face from beginning to end, and she didn't have any jewelry or anything else on her that could identify her.
"She is most likely from the capital, otherwise she wouldn't know Zhang Wu so well. They may have interacted with each other before."
Baili Xuanyuan said thoughtfully, feeling disgust and hatred towards this woman in his heart. He just wanted to pull her out and ask her where she got the purple eyes from!
Ask her if she has seen their little uncle!
Baili Haoxuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Continue to search the soul and see if there is any woman with a similar body shape among the people Zhang Wu has come into contact with before."
Baili Xuanyuan nodded, and the two brothers continued to search the soul together.
However, as a manager, Zhang Wu meets too many people every day, and among them, there are many women who have a similar body shape to that woman.
They also saw Feng Wanqing from Zhang Wu's memory.
But this is normal. Feng Wanqing returned to her biological parents five years ago. In order to make up for her, her parents would bring her to auctions from time to time.
The Crown Prince of Beiyue, Xiao Chuhan, also often brought her over and gave her gifts.
"Brother! Look here! Why does this girl look a bit like our mother?"
Suddenly, Baili Xuanyuan said excitedly.
Baili Haoxuan flipped to the memory location he mentioned and saw a girl of about fifteen or sixteen appearing in the auction house. She was very beautiful and had an amazing future at such a young age.
And what Baili Xuanyuan said was right, there really was some shadow of the Queen Mother in her eyes and brows.
"Feng Siyue? Miss General's Mansion? I remember now, she is the sister that Wanqing mentioned! She was jealous of Wanqing's talent and everyone's preference for Wanqing, so she poisoned Wanqing and wanted to kill her cousin!"
