Chapter 2147: Returning in vain!
"The lord of the city is angry, this is not the case. Seeing that the city lord was angry, the captain of the guard, Wen Yang, hurriedly knelt on the ground, frightened.
He knew that he was a captain of the guard, and compared to the status of the Flying Dragon Trading House in the heart of the city lord, he might be far inferior. If you can't explain things clearly this time, I'm afraid that I won't talk about the credit, and I will have to suffer the guilt.
"You say!" said Tianba coldly.
Elder Xiao stood aside lightly and watched all this, he did lie, but he didn't have any worries. Because no matter what he says, he won't admit it.
As long as he insisted that he didn't see Cheng Yu and them, even Tianba wouldn't be able to do anything to them! Because he knew very well that Tianba would not tear his face with the Flying Dragon Trading House at this time.
"We all saw those people get on the boat with our own eyes, and besides, Elder Qing had prevented us from getting on the boat, and he himself admitted that those people got on the boat because something had fallen on the boat.
But now, he said that no one was on the boat, and he was clearly deceiving the city lord. If the city lord doesn't believe it, you can ask the others!" Wen Yang opened his mouth to defend himself.
This surnamed Xiao is so bad that he dares to slander himself. If there was no city lord before, he really wouldn't dare to do anything about this surnamed Xiao.
But now that the city lord has come, he also has confidence. After all, there is a city lord, and this surnamed Xiao doesn't dare to do anything to him.
What's more, he didn't believe that these people could really disappear into thin air, so he believed that this time their search would definitely be rewarding.
"City Lord, we did see a group of people on the boat, and there were actually a few women. The few remaining guards around Wen Yang also agreed.
"Heavenly City Lord, you know the rules of our Flying Dragon Trading House, anyone who wants to get on the ship must pay ten high-grade spirit stones, so I don't allow them to get on the ship, there's nothing wrong with that, right?" Elder Xiao glanced at Wen Yang, and then said to Tianba.
Tianba's face was gloomy, but he still nodded, because he did know this rule of the Flying Dragon Firm, and many people in Tianhai City knew the rule of the Flying Dragon Firm, so he had no way to deny it.
"Second, there were indeed some people who got off the ship and got on the ship again, but these people were all crew members of our Wyvern Firm. As you know, it took us more than two months to get from Taize City to Tianhai City.
Every time we go back and forth our crew needs to be restocked, so these people get off the ship to buy supplies, but when they get off the ship, they find that they have forgotten to take something, so they will turn back to the ship.
And what kind of woman the little brother said just now is even more nonsense. There are no women in our crew, and I don't believe that the Heavenly City Lord can check them one by one!" Elder Xiao said confidently.
The Tianba general glanced at all the crew members present, and indeed did not find the crew of the woman's body, and his face became even more gloomy.
"City Lord, he is clearly lying, we really saw the people on this portrait on the ship! If those people are the crew members of the ship, how can I not recognize them?" Wen Yang was even more furious when he heard that this person surnamed Xiao actually said that those people were members of their group who got off the ship to buy supplies, this guy was simply talking nonsense with his eyes open.
Although his cultivation is not as high as this surnamed Xiao, he is not blind, so how can he see the wrong person at such a distance? The clothes worn by these crew members are so obvious, will he not be able to recognize them?
"Heavenly City Lord, this matter is related to the reputation of our Flying Dragon Trading Company, how could I lie, if I don't believe it, the Heavenly City Lord can ask these crew members on the ship if I lied!" Elder Xiao said to Tianba.
"City Lord, the two crew members who guarded the ship before have personally watched these people get on the boat, the City Lord can ask them, and you can see through Elder Xiao's lies!" Wen Yang pointed to the two crew members beside Elder Xiao and said eagerly.
"The people you saw earlier?" said Tempa, looking at the two crew members.
"Yes!" the two nodded nervously.
"Do you know the people who got on board, and are there any women among them?" asked Tyba, staring at them closely.
"Recognize, those are the crew members of our ship, and there are no women among them!" said one of the crew members, though a little nervous.
"You're lying!"
"Shut up!" exclaimed.
"City Lord!"
"Don't say any more, aren't you sending someone to investigate on the ship now, everything will wait until the search is over!" said Tianba with a cold face.
In fact, he believed Wen Yang's words, but he naturally didn't believe what Elder Xiao said. However, there is no point in talking about this now.
If these people were really on the boat and found them, whether what Elder Xiao said was a lie or not would be directly dismantled. If you can't find it, you're going to heaven, and it's useless.
Now that Elder Xiao and they are clearly not admitting it, and they haven't found anyone, what's the point of fighting any longer?
Rather than wait for them to find out.
This treasure ship is not big, but it is not small, and it took these people half an hour to search for the whole ship.
However, what made Tianba and Wen Yang's faces ugly was that they really didn't find those people!
"Are you sure you've checked everything on the ship?" asked, looking at everyone.
"Back to the city lord, we have indeed searched all the places that the entire ship can find, and indeed we have not found any more people!" The guard was really startled when he saw that even the city lord was coming, and he knelt down tremblingly and said.
After receiving such an answer, how could Tianba's mood be good? But he didn't want to get angry in front of the Wyvern Firm.
"Elder Xiao, it seems that today's incident is indeed a misunderstanding, and I hope Elder Xiao will not be surprised. The city lord of Japan will set up a table of delicious food and wine in the city lord's mansion to make amends to Elder Xiao, which can be regarded as a clean slate to the Flying Dragon Firm!" Tianba said with a smile at Elder Xiao.
"The Lord of the Heavenly City is polite, since it was a misunderstanding, how could the old man blame the Lord of the Heavenly City? As for making amends, it's even more needless, thank you Heavenly City Lord for your kindness!" Elder Xiao waved his hand and smiled.
"In that case, the lord of the city will go first. Let's go!" Tianba nodded with a smile and left with Wen Yang.
"You all go back to doing things!" Elder Xiao sneered at Tianba's back and said to all the crew.
All the crew nodded, dispersed, and returned to their posts.
And Tianba and his party went back one by one with gloomy faces.
"City Lord, that old guy surnamed Xiao is indeed lying, I dare to guarantee with my own head that we did see the people on these portraits on the boat!" Wen Yang said.
"I believe in you!" Tianba said coldly.
"Then why is the city lord?" Wen Yang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that the city lord would punish him for this matter.
