Chapter 385: On the Sword Hall Tongue War
From the moment Chang Taiqing stepped into the main hall, Xiao Zhang had already concluded that Chang Taiqing was definitely not a good comer, and he should have planned a counterattack plan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, Xiao Zhang was not surprised by what Chang Taiqing said, he had already been mentally prepared.
"Elder Chang has something to say. Xiao Zhang said very kindly, but anyone can see that this harmony contains a strong smell of gunpowder, and a "big war" is about to begin.
Chang Taiqing smiled coldly and said, "Xiao Zhang, I advise you, before I say the following words, you admit defeat! Otherwise, you will die without a place to be buried!"
Xiao Zhang was still smiling: "What does Elder Chang mean by this, I don't know if I have violated the rules of the Heavenly Soul Sect or the laws of the Empire, why do I die without a place to be buried?"
Chang Taiqing laughed loudly and said: "It seems that you don't shed tears without adding a coffin, do you know that you have become a big man by doing this? This big man is not an ordinary person, he definitely has the ability to make you die without a place to be buried!"
As soon as he heard this, Xiao Zhang suddenly understood that Chang Taiqing was going to sacrifice the name of the prince, which was obviously a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, seeing who bit whom.
"I don't know which big man it is?" Xiao Zhang put away his smile, "Where did I offend him?"
The smile on Chang Taiqing's face gradually became fierce, and he slowly glanced at all the elders around him, and finally locked his gaze on Xiao Zhang.
"In that case, I don't have to hide it anymore. Chang Taiqing deliberately cleared his throat, raised his voice and said, "I, Chang Taiqing, am the person of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and at this point, you should understand what I mean, right?"
This sentence really stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the hall suddenly exploded, and the elders never expected that Chang Taiqing would have such a deep background.
Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, that is His Majesty the Emperor in the future, thinking of this, some elders have already regretted abandoning Chang Taiqing, after all, offending Chang Taiqing is equivalent to offending the prince, and what the consequences of offending the prince are, you can imagine.
Chang Taiqing looked around again, and the expressions of the elders made him very satisfied, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued: "I also want to inform you that the benefits I distributed to you before were not given by the master, but by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Heavenly Soul Sect has long regarded the elders as chicken ribs, where is it willing to give you benefits? It is already good to be able to barely give some livelihood. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attaches great importance to all the elders, so he specially asked me to do my best to take care of the elders. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, if the elders were a little regretful just now, then now they are a little scared.
As the so-called means of taking people, eating people's mouths is short, since they have also taken a lot of benefits before, they may have to pay the corresponding price, after all, there is no free lunch in the world, this truth is eternal.
Sure enough, the elders' worries were fulfilled, and Chang Taiqing continued: "If you insist on following Xiao Zhang, I won't stop you, but, hmph, you have to pay back as much as you take, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and virtuous, he can't rub sand in his eyes." ”
The meaning of these words is already very obvious, I will spit out what I eat, I will exchange what I have for mine, I will make up for what I owe, and hand over mine to me!
Other people's benefits are not taken for nothing, you want to take the benefits and run, hehe, dream!
The elders who still regarded Xiao Zhang as a god just now suddenly turned pale, and their attitudes began to move closer to Chang Taiqing. After all, I am embarrassed to do that kind of thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
Moreover, if you take the benefits of ordinary people, you can still rely on the debts with a cheeky skin, but if you take the benefits of the current prince, it will not be so easy to repay the debts. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blames him, he will not be able to eat and walk around.
In just a few words, Chang Taiqing instantly reversed the situation and occupied the moral high ground, but he did not give up, but continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't rub the slightest sand in his eyes, you have to think about it, so you can do it yourself!"
The elders are already as earth-colored as they are, they knew that they would never defect to Xiao Zhang, and at this moment, all they can do is to return to Chang Taiqing's command again, 45,000 taels of gold and the living conditions of the Huashan Soul System are completely optional, compared to their own lives, these things outside the body are simply not worth mentioning.
Seeing that the situation was about to tilt towards Chang Taiqing, Xiao Zhang, who had been silent beside him, finally couldn't help it, but he only said a very simple sentence: "How much money do the elders owe to the prince, I will pay it back to the prince for them." ”
It was such a simple sentence, but it made the situation that was about to be reversed re-stabilized, and the elders breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces gradually improved.
If I can return the benefits of taking the prince, it will naturally be the best thing, I don't owe you the prince, so can I choose freely?
With 45,000 taels of gold per month, Huashan's excellent living conditions are thousands of times stronger than the sesame mung beans given by the prince.
As long as he is not a fool, any elder will not hesitate to choose Xiao Zhang.
Chang Taiqing was taken aback, he obviously didn't expect Xiao Zhang to be so generous, and the momentum that he had finally created was so easily destroyed by Xiao Zhang's words.
Chang Taiqing naturally wouldn't give up, he sneered and said, "For so many years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been providing benefits to you, if you want to return it, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?"
Xiao Zhang naturally understood what Chang Taiqing meant, so he only said eight words: "Return the principal with interest to the prince." ”
Hearing such an atmospheric sentence, the elders immediately rejoiced, and even couldn't help but shout!
Chang Taiqing was speechless for a moment, in such a situation, he seemed to have no way to deal with it, and he was about to lose under Xiao Zhang's hands again, only to feel a tightness in his chest, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Under the extreme grief and shame, Chang Taiqing almost lost his mind, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Zhang, and roared: "Xiao Zhang, who are you? Where did you get so much wealth?"
Xiao Zhang regained his amiable smile and said, "Cultivators have their own secrets, Elder Chang won't be so confused that he doesn't even understand this truth, right?"
Chang Taiqing's face turned red, and he roared angrily: "Don't think I don't know, you went to the dwarf tribe some time ago, and you ruined the dwarf kingdom with your own hands! As we all know, the dwarf people live in great luxury, and their treasures are everywhere, you must have seized all their treasures! As the holy envoy of His Majesty's order, the seized treasures should be handed over to the imperial court, and you dare to swallow it privately! I will go to the imperial court to denounce you!"
