Chapter 123 What are you doing so loudly? [A new book asks for a monthly pass! 】
Holding the treasure chest in his hand, and looking at it for a while, Chu Liang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
If it was those three little ones, he would not feel guilty if he touched them casually, after all, they are not very good people. But this treasure chest seems to be of great value, and it is impossible for the three little ones to have treasures worth putting in it.
It's probably their stolen goods.
If it belongs to someone else, Chu Liang naturally cannot keep it for himself. But those three little ones were running so fast, even if they tried to catch them and ask who the owner was, it was impossible to ask.
After thinking about it, he decided to go back to Yipin Jianlu first, and asked Xu Sui if he could help find the owner.
Back to the sword hut, Xu Sui happened to be away. He must have entered the thatched hut where the sword was made to deliver food and water to Xu Kunwu. Chu Liang sat in the lobby and waited for him, playing with the treasure chest.
At this moment, the emperor's daughter Feng walked in and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I picked up a treasure chest and didn't know where to find the owner, so I wanted to ask Brother Xu if he could help find it." Chu Liang replied.
"Open it and see what's inside, maybe you'll know who the owner is." Empress Feng said.
"But this treasure chest is quite miraculous, it should only be possible with special techniques..." Chu Liang raised it and said.
"Let me be your teacher, I am the best at opening treasure chests." Empress Feng smiled confidently.
After finishing speaking, she saw her stretch out a finger, scoff.
An incomparably precise purple-golden flame leaped out of her hand like a bird, lingering in the air, fleeting.
Looking at Chu Liang's palm again, there was only a thick book left, so there was no box left.
"Where's the treasure chest?" He blinked and asked.
"It's open." Emperor Feng said calmly.
"No..." Chu Liang gestured at the empty space, "Is it open, where is the box?"
"It's already open, what do you need the box for?" Emperor Feng asked puzzled.
伱 What you said makes sense... Chu Liang was speechless.
He then focused on the book in his hand. It must be of great value to be stored in such a precious treasure chest.
The master and apprentice opened it, and it turned out to be a thick account book, which densely recorded the accounts for several years.
"It's all..." Emperor Feng also stared at it, and said solemnly: "Numbers!"
Chu Liang nodded, and he pondered: "This is an account that records the private transactions between the Wanshoutang and the Wolf Fang Gang, and it is not very visible. The proceeds are eventually taken to other places and converted into Cultivation resources, and then re-incorporated into the Spike Gang."
"I suspect that this is a private sale of spirit beasts by the high-level executives of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, because the Spike Gang is only a channel rather than a buyer. It stands to reason that the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall has the background of the Whale Gang, let alone in the Taotie City, even if it is not needed in Kyushu. This kind of high-dividend channel."
"If there are high-level officials who harm the public and enrich their private interests, then it is completely justified. The reason why this account book is kept tightly is not because it is so precious, but because once it is discovered, this dirty business will be exposed."
It is so easy to launder money in this world, just go out and come back and say that you found treasure somewhere in a secret place or in a dangerous place. There is no way to find out the huge amount of property of unknown origin. It only needs to be replaced with a natural treasure to hide it carefully. If you want to thoroughly investigate these tricks from the top, the only thing that is wrong is the number of monsters in the Hall of Beasts...
The arrival of Xu Hongqiu, the eldest lady of the Whale Gang, the turmoil in the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, the behavior of the middle-aged man rushing to kill last night... because of this account book, it was suddenly connected in Chu Liang's mind.
I see.
He showed a dazed expression.
While the Empress Dowager Feng was at a loss, "You can tell so much from this pile of numbers? What's the code?"
well.
Chu Liang sighed silently, not blaming her.
Master is already very good at fighting, if he is more educated, how can others mess around?
At this time, Xu Sui also came back from the door. When he saw the two of them, he greeted them: "Senior, Chu Shaoxia, are you here to find me?"
"Yes." Chu Liang raised his head and asked, "Brother Xu, I want to ask you who is the shopkeeper of Wan Beast Hall?"
"Huh? Wan Beast Hall..." Xu Sui was stunned, and thought: "That is an important property of the Whale Gang. It is a master named Xu, who seems to be called Xu Nanling."
Chu Liang smiled slightly, it was really him.
…
Because the name reported by the other party was Shushan Empress Feng, Xu Hongqiu put down what she was doing and came out to greet her in person, followed by Xu Nanling, Elder Cang Xing, and two teams of Whale Gang subordinates.
It can be said that everyone who can fight in the Hall of Beasts has come.
"The junior whale gang, Xu Hongqiu, has long admired the name of the senior." When she saw the emperor's daughter Feng, she took the lead in bowing her head and saluting.
Then raised a pair of bright eyes, and looked directly at the emperor's daughter Feng, the momentum was not lost.
The emperor's daughter Feng did not put any pressure on her, but put her hands in her sleeves, glanced at her lazily, and immediately smiled: "Oh, you are Xu Bashan's daughter? He is so ugly that he can give birth to such a beautiful little girl like you." Baby, it's really..."
"Master." Chu Liang tugged at her sleeve lightly.
"What's the matter? Didn't I just greet her politely first, courtesy first and then soldiers." Emperor Nvfeng turned her head and said in a low voice.
Okay, redefine "Courtesy".
"In the case of Nanguan City, thanks to the senior master and apprentice who helped me clean up the house, I have been looking for an opportunity to solemnly thank the senior, but I have been involved in business here recently, so I didn't make it. It is a junior Ashamed."
Xu Hongqiu didn't change his face, and showed some courtesy to the emperor's daughter Feng.
"Hey—" Empress Feng waved her hands, and said indifferently: "There is no need to mention things like eradicating evil. I do a hundred and eighty things every year. I am here today mainly to ask about what happened last night."
"Last night?" Xu Hongqiu looked at Chu Liang.
"Alas..." Chu Liang sighed and made a gesture of twitching, "I kept saying that I'm fine, it's all a misunderstanding, but the master insisted on pulling me to ask about the situation... cough cough cough!"
As he spoke, he coughed heavily.
There's no other way, it's not good for him to suddenly turn his back on him after he left so righteously last night. So the master and apprentice discussed before they came, one would sing the red face and the other would sing the bad face.
"My apprentice is honest and upright." Emperor Nvfeng made a heartbroken expression, "It is easy to be bullied when he is out of the house. As a master, I can't protect him. I just came to ask, who beat him last night? I'm an apprentice?"
"Senior, this matter is our fault..." Xu Hongqiu looked troubled, and was thinking about how to explain it to Empress Feng.
Xu Nanling's expression froze in the back. He was not a fool, so he could see that the master and apprentice were here to find fault.
Most likely to blackmail people.
But he wasn't afraid at the moment.
Because after the turmoil in the Hall of Beasts last night, all the monster deficits were counted as losses. Although it is doubtful, but there is no definite evidence, his position is still unshakable.
Even if Xu Hongqiu comes with a command arrow, he can't do anything to him.
In fact, he has always looked down upon Xu Hongqiu. Because this is basically the little girl he watched growing up, she is not yet twenty years old this year, what can she do?
Hearing that Xu Hongqiu was the first to admit his mistake, he was a little displeased.
If it was Wan Beast Hall's fault, wouldn't it be the same as admitting that it was Xu Nanling's fault alone? What this little girl did was not only to make others feel bad, but also to be blackmailed, and she even sold herself out.
It is true that she has no skills. If this matter is handled by someone with experience in the world, she must kill herself. That's right. It is a misunderstanding at best.
So he stepped forward and interrupted Xu Hongqiu loudly, "I hit it!"
First occupy the momentum.
In the blink of an eye, he had already thought up all kinds of plans in his mind. No matter how Di Nvfeng was held accountable, he was confident that he would be able to refute them one by one, and let the other party return without success.
Unfortunately, the imaginary war of words did not happen.
Seeing him suddenly stepping forward and interrupting him loudly, the emperor's daughter-in-law Feng slightly retracted her smiling eyebrows, kicked her left foot, raised her right leg, and kicked in the air.
Boom—
Boom!
This kick seemed neither fast nor heavy, but it hit Xu Nanling's chest, and his figure disappeared from the hall in an instant. Immediately afterwards, there was a bang on the lobby wall, then another bang on the outer wall of the courtyard, and then another bang on the wall of the shop across the street...
Every time there was a roar, the faces of everyone in the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall trembled. Finally, after six or seven roars in succession, the sound stopped.
This seemingly easy kick kicked Xu Nanling three blocks away!
Emperor Nv Feng lowered her legs, dug her ears with her left hand, looked towards the direction where Xu Nanling disappeared with a displeased expression, and asked to whom she was speaking:
"What are you doing so loudly?"
