Chapter 154: Conspiracy (2)

"This, since the two shopkeepers said so, then the juniors will be disrespectful!" Ye Hong suddenly found that the entanglement between himself and the two shopkeepers had been a little long, and the other party's behavior seemed to be a little weird, although he didn't know what their purpose was, but in order not to let the many special elite monks around him who were eyeing him get involved, he also went down the steps.

"This is 1,800 spirit stones, please accept it. Seeing that Ye Hong agreed to return the spirit stone, Han Zhiming quickly stuffed a storage belt prepared in advance into Ye Hong's hand.

"Return the spirit stone?what's the situation?" I really didn't want the ghost to come, but the ghost wanted to go up, a shrill voice pierced through, and then a fragrant wind wafted in, and I saw Wu Xianglan, who had an arrogant face, staring at herself with meaningful eyes, followed by Pan Le.

"Ah, it's Miss Xianglan! it's nothing!" the old woman waved her hand in a panic.

"Nothing?I heard you just now talking about buying magic weapons, returning spirit stones at the original price!Could it be that something is wrong with my ears?" Wu Xianglan rebuked with a frosty face.

"That's right, I heard it too!" Pan Le on the side spoke up in support.

Suddenly, the faces of the two shopkeepers turned pale, and after a long time, Han Zhiming trembled his lips and explained the ins and outs of the matter intermittently.

"I don't think that the disciples of the city lord can actually buy magic weapons at cost price, this is the first time I've heard of it! Sure enough, the lord of a city has such a big right!" Wu Xianglan looked surprised: "I don't know how many benefits the city lord Xue promised your shop, so that you are willing to sell the magic weapon at cost price without earning a spirit stone? I want to go back and ask my aunt, can we also buy magic weapons and pills like this? I don't know how the taxes of this Dengxian City are reported to the sect!" It's no wonder that I always hear a few Supreme Elders say that the tax spirit stones in Dengxian City are getting less and less every year, it turns out that there is such a reason for this!"

Ye Hong's heart sank, and he suddenly found that he had been scolded, or that someone wanted to make a big fuss about buying magic weapons by himself, in order to achieve the purpose of slandering his master Xue Ming. I happened to meet the Zhong brothers and sisters in front of the teleportation array just now, and I obviously felt that many of them were in love with Zhong Ling and were hostile to me, but they didn't come out to interfere when Zhong Ling showed excessive affectionate behavior towards him, and politely greeted him. Then when Zhong Ling begged him to go shopping together, no one raised any objections, and even this Pan Le strongly invited, and took the initiative to lead the way, so that he unknowingly returned to this refining pavilion. And the next thing, that is, what happened just now when Han Zhiming proposed to return the spirit stone, the old woman loudly fought to return Ye Hong's spirit stone, as if she was a businessman who pursued integrity extremely much, which caused Wu Xianglan to question.

The strange and abnormal situation and many clues made Ye Hong suddenly realize that there must be an unknown conspiracy in it, and he immediately bid farewell to the Zhong brothers and sisters, and turned around to leave. But before the Zhong brothers and sisters could answer, Pan Le suddenly shouted: "You two immediately tell us clearly, what is going on, if you can't tell us clearly, don't blame us for reporting to Elder Taishang!"

"Brother Ye, you also wait a minute! And after listening to the explanations of these two guys, it's not too late to leave!" Wu Xianglan looked kind: "These two guys actually dare to slander the city lord, and you are a disciple of the city lord, so you have to listen to it!"

Suddenly, Ye Hong was in a dilemma, and before he could think about whether to stay or go, Han Zhiming didn't have the panic just now, and said in extremely fluent words: "Everyone, this is the case, this Ye brother came to the small shop today to propose to buy a flying needle magic weapon, and after choosing the magic weapon he liked, he said that he was a disciple of the city lord, and detailed that the city lord asked to sell it to him at cost price, and promised the city lord that he could reduce the tax of the small shop in the future. Saying that, he glanced at Ye Hong with flickering eyes and continued: "The villain actually lost his mind after verifying Brother Ye's identity, and promised to sell the magic weapon to him at the cost price, but he didn't want to see the cost price of the magic weapon wrong, the villain was afraid that he learned that the purchase price of the magic weapon was only 2,400 spirit stones, and he was waiting to send someone to find Brother Ye, but he didn't want Brother Ye to come to the shop again, which led to the return of the spirit stone just now." ”

"Did the city lord say that he could lower the tax of your shop?" Wu Xianglan asked.

"This, this... Han Zhiming didn't dare to say it clearly, after all, this involved the name of a great monk in the Judan period, not like Ye Hong, a little monk in the condensation stage, who could make things up without worrying about the consequences.

"I said, no wonder I heard my grandfather say that in the past two years, the taxes paid by Dengxian City seem to be decreasing year by year, it turns out that the reason is here!" Pan Le shouted excitedly.

"My master didn't say anything like this, all of it was because I was short of spirit stones and wanted to get the magic weapon, so I made up the above lies!" Ye Hong took the responsibility as soon as he bit his teeth, he knew that the conspiracy in front of him was not to persecute him, a little monk in the condensation period, it was very likely that it was planned to target his master Xue Ming. I just inadvertently became an important part of this conspiracy, once I deny or argue, then this conspiracy will definitely go further and directly point at Xue Ming. After all, so many people present had heard the plot made up by Han Zhiming, and only by taking it on could this conspiracy not touch Master Xue Ming immediately.

"I can't imagine that you Ye Hong is so good-looking, and you would do such an insulting thing to your master, I'm really ashamed to know you. Luo Minxuan, who had not spoken up, said disdainfully in the crowd.

"Yes, such a villain, for his own selfish desires, put his master in such a situation, what a vain disciple!" another elite disciple jumped out and said humiliatingly.

For a while, in addition to the Zhong brothers and sisters, the elite disciples present jumped out to condemn Ye Hong for different purposes.

"Brother Ye, hurry up and explain, it's not like this, right? Explain it quickly!" Zhong Ling was almost stunned on the side, and finally came to his senses, his pale face was full of tears, and he pulled his sleeve and swayed: "I believe you must have something else hidden, you can tell it quickly!"

"Brother Ye, I believe there must be a reason for this, you can explain it to everyone!" Zhong Cheng also persuaded him.

Ye Hong looked at Zhong Ling's desolate pale face, took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, gently broke free of the sleeves she was pulling, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Ling'er, I disappointed you, this matter is indeed done by me, and it has nothing to do with other people!" With that, he took out the set of flying needles from the storage belt and handed it to Han Zhiming along with the storage belt in his hand, and then squeezed out of the crowd without saying a word.

"Wow, Brother Ye!" Zhong Ling's heart-rending cry came from behind, which made Ye Hong's heart slam up, and his footsteps couldn't help but pause, but then he stepped out firmly again.
