Chapter 81: Xiao Hong
On this day, Chen Yuan gathered all the people in the City Lord's Mansion and announced his situation to them: "Everyone, I called you here today to tell you something. ”
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, no one knew what Chen Yuan was going to say.
Qiu Chi stood outside the door, carefully watching the changes in everyone's expressions.
Chen Yuan cleared his throat and continued: "Recently, there have been rumors outside that I have been poisoned and my cultivation is constantly regressing, you should have all heard about it." ”
A person who looked like a housekeeper immediately nodded and said: "I heard, hmph, this group of people are idle all day long, they just like to talk nonsense, my city lord is in good health, how can it be like being poisoned, if you want me to say, you should arrest this group of rumors and ask them......"
The butler gushed out, and Chen Yuan suddenly interrupted: "What I want to tell you is that this is not a rumor, this city lord has indeed been poisoned, and this poison will indeed make people regress in their cultivation. ”
As soon as Chen Yuan's words came out, the audience fell silent, and the housekeeper who was like a river was also stunned, and his expression froze there. Moments later, there was an uproar.
"City Lord, what you said is true, how can there be such a strange poison?"
"City Lord, who poisoned you, I must have chopped him!"
"City Lord, is there an antidote to this poison? You are the pillar of Jiangyi City, you must not fall!"
Everyone was worried about Chen Yuan's situation, but the person in the blue robe, after hearing Chen Yuan's words, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Chen Yuan waved his hand, suppressed everyone's voices, and said, "You don't need to panic, there is still a way to unravel the poison of this city lord." ”
Everyone rekindled their hope and asked, "What is the antidote?"
"City Lord, you say, I will help you find the antidote!"
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Have you ever heard of Longyang Stone?"
Everyone fell into deep thought, and one of them suddenly said: "My subordinates have heard of it, but this stone is not produced in my Jiangyi City, and it will take a lot of effort to find it." ”
"Wherever it is, I'll go and find it for the lord of the city. ”
After that, the man was about to turn around and leave, but Chen Yuan stopped: "You come back first, I still have something to explain." ”
When the man heard Chen Yuan's order, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and stood back obediently.
Chen Yuan advised: "Only the people of my City Lord's Mansion know about this matter, remember not to expose it, otherwise someone with a heart will fight with me." ”
Everyone nodded, wrote down Chen Yuan's advice, and went to the city to find the Longyang Stone.
Before leaving, the blue-robed young man's expression was grim, as if he was thinking about something. He didn't expect Chen Yuan to know the antidote to Feng Lei San, he thought that this Feng Lei San was also a strange poison, even if there were very few people who knew this poison, but he was lucky enough to let Chen Yuan know.
The blue-robed young man hid the expression on his face and said goodbye: "My lord, my subordinates are going to look for Longyang Stone." ”
Chen Yuan didn't notice the other party's abnormality, and nodded, "Thank you." ”
"Your Excellency is welcome. After the blue-robed young man finished his last sentence, he left the City Lord's Mansion.
After everyone left, Qiu Chi Fang came over and asked, "Brother Chen, who is that blue-robed young man just now?"
Chen Yuan wondered, "What's wrong?"
Qiu Chi shook his head and replied, "I can't tell, just ask." ”
Chen Yuan introduced to Qiu Chi: "His name is Xiao Hong, and he has been with me for more than ten years. ”
Akichi nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more.
Since knowing Chen Yuan's condition, the city lord's mansion has mobilized from top to bottom, and they all went out of the mansion to find Longyang Stone.
On this day, Xiao Hong walked into a large pharmacy, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted him and asked, "What does this guest need?" Let me tell you, our pharmacy ......?"
"I want to see your shopkeeper. Xiao Hong interrupted.
The shopkeeper was a little depressed, and last time someone wanted to see his own shopkeeper, he didn't have long eyes, and he provoked a big man, and he was almost kicked by the shopkeeper afterwards. This time, someone wanted to see the shopkeeper again, and the shopkeeper had been taught a lesson, so he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to stop the other party directly.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I'll go and tell the shopkeeper, you wait." ”
After that, the shopkeeper ran straight to the backyard, the shopkeeper was boiling medicinal materials, and when he saw the shopkeeper suddenly breaking in, he was a little unhappy and said: "Didn't I say it, don't bother me when I boil medicinal materials, you don't have ears or don't take me in your eyes." ”
The shopkeeper was very aggrieved, but he didn't dare to complain, and reported: "Shopkeeper, someone outside wants to see you." ”
The shopkeeper didn't think about it, and blurted out: "I'm boiling medicine, let him wait outside." ”
The shopkeeper nodded and retreated, Xiao Hong stood there, already a little impatient, and when he saw the shopkeeper coming out, he walked over directly.
The shopkeeper said to Xiao Hong: "My shopkeeper has something to do now, you wait first." ”
Xiao Hong didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper, and walked to the backyard by himself, but the shopkeeper immediately stopped him when he saw this: "You can't go over!"
Xiao Hong said coldly: "I have something urgent, get out of the way." ”
The shopkeeper was suddenly furious, and shouted: "How old are you?!When the pharmacy is your home, you can do whatever you want, and if you know each other, get out quickly, otherwise I will ask someone to blow you out!"
Xiao Hong was too lazy to talk nonsense, and immediately released a soul pressure and knocked the shopkeeper away, the shopkeeper looked at Xiao Hong with some surprise, and at the same time felt sad for himself, how could there be another master, and he just happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.
Xiao Hong walked into the backyard, and the shopkeeper thought that the shopkeeper had come in again, and couldn't help but scold: "Who let you in, get out!"
Xiao Hong sneered and said, "Boss Huang has a good temper. ”
When the shopkeeper heard the voice, he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked back, and a familiar face appeared in his eyes.
After seeing the person who came, the shopkeeper's intestines were about to repent, and he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Oh! The villain was just dizzy, and he actually contradicted the adult, how offended, and I hope the adult will forgive him. ”
This shopkeeper once had a relationship with Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong worked in the city lord's mansion, big and small, he was also an official, the shopkeeper was a businessman, and he naturally had to be respectful when he saw him.
Xiao Hong waved his hand and said generously: "It's okay, I came today to ask you to do me a favor." ”
The shopkeeper immediately complimented: "If the adult needs anything, just say it, and the villain will do his best to help the adult do his best." ”
Xiao Hong opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know Longyang Stone?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, Longyang stone? A few days ago, someone sent him Longyang stone, and told him that someone would definitely come to buy it, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
The shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and found out that there was something strange about this matter, the young man that day took the city lord's order, indicating that he was a member of the city lord's mansion, and Xiao Hong was also a person from the city lord's mansion, and they were all his own people, so why not give him the Longyang stone directly.
Xiao Hong saw that the shopkeeper was a little stunned, thinking that he hadn't heard of it, so he said: "Since Boss Huang has never heard of this thing, then the contemptible person will not bother." ”
The shopkeeper immediately came back to his senses and dissuaded: "No, no, no, Lord Xiao misunderstood, the villain knows about this thing, and there happens to be a high-grade Longyang stone in the store." ”
He is just a businessman, just do his own business, why do you need to mix in the affairs of the city lord's mansion, after the shopkeeper figured it out, he said to Xiao Hong: "If the lord wants, I will bring it to the lord." ”
Xiao Hong was overjoyed and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you here." ”
After a while, the shopkeeper ran over, with an extra box in his hand, he put the box in front of Xiao Hong, and said, "This is the Longyang Stone, you can see if you can get into your eyes." ”
Xiao Hong did not hesitate, and directly opened the box, and there was indeed a high-grade Longyang Stone inside.
Xiao Hong smiled: "I want this thing, Boss Huang, you can make a price." ”
The shopkeeper smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "This Longyang stone is extremely rare, and I am afraid that I am the only one in Jiangyi City." The price, although I want to sell it to you at a low price, but I have no choice but to sell it for others, so I ......"
Xiao Hong naturally saw the shopkeeper's careful thoughts, but he was not interested in discussing the price with the other party now, so he said directly: "Fifty thousand spirit jade." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this price, he was shocked, he never expected Xiao Hong to be so arrogant, and he made a big deal of 50,000 yuan.
The value of Longyang Stone is far less than 50,000 spirit jade, the reason why Xiao Hong is so bold is also because he has his own ideas, buy Longyang Stone first, and wait until the matter is completed, he will return it to the shopkeeper, and then he will be in a high position, not to mention the original price refund, and it is not impossible to extort a sum of money.
The shopkeeper was afraid that Xiao Hong would change his words, so he immediately agreed, Xiao Hong slapped a space sigil on the table, and advised: "Also, remember, I came to buy Longyang Stone, don't tell anyone about it." ”
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement on the surface, but in his heart, he only cared about 50,000 spirit jade.
Not long after Xiao Hong left the pharmacy, Qiu Chi also rushed over, and the shopkeeper saw Qiu Chi enter the door, and hurriedly saluted: "Meet the city lord." ”
Qiu Chi made a silent gesture and said, "I'm looking for your shopkeeper, don't make a noise." ”
The shopkeeper nodded, pointed to the backyard and said, "The shopkeeper is in the backyard, my lord, please." ”
Qiu Chi thanked him and walked over.
I saw that the shopkeeper was having a foolish game in the courtyard, and he had just made a lot of money, and he didn't notice Qiu Chi's figure just thinking about how to celebrate.
Qiu Chi coughed lowly, and the shopkeeper immediately followed the prestige, and when he saw Qiu Chi coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Meet your lord!"
Qiu Chi waved his hand and said, "The shopkeeper doesn't have to be polite, I came to ask, has the Longyang Stone been bought?"
The shopkeeper patted Qiuchi's ass and said, "My lord is clever, sure enough, someone came to buy Longyang stone, and it was still at a high price." ”
Qiu Chi smiled slightly, became interested, and asked, "Who is it?"
The shopkeeper replied truthfully: "This person should know that it is Lord Xiao Hong of the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Qiu Chi's face showed a surprised expression, his intuition was right, it was really Xiao Hong.
Qiu Chi reconfirmed, "Are you sure you're right?"
The shopkeeper patted his chest and promised: "I personally sold it to him, how could I be wrong." ”
Qiu Chi nodded and said goodbye, "I know, farewell." ”
