"Elder Zhong, you should be very clear about the value of the goods you are responsible for escorting this time. Wang Ruikun said to Zhong Xiu.

Zhong Xiu didn't make a sound, just nodded slightly.

"What are your eyebrows on this matter now?" Wang Ruikun asked again.

"I've found some clues, but there is no evidence yet, so let's not talk about it here for now, so as not to misunderstand. Zhong Xiu said.

"Trick up!" the bewitching woman snorted coldly.

"Elder Zhong, according to the old man's opinion, it is difficult for a strong man to insist that you go alone to recapture this batch of goods, since the other party dares to rob the goods of my Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, the background must not be simple. In this way, if Elder Zhong can find conclusive clues or evidence of this robber, the Chamber of Commerce will come forward to negotiate with the owner of the goods and try to get justice. Wang Ruikun pondered for a moment and said.

"If the Chamber of Commerce wants to come forward, I think Elder Zhong must find conclusive evidence within half a month to allow the Chamber of Commerce enough time to deal with it, otherwise the Chamber of Commerce will be too passive. If it is more than half a month, Elder Zhong should be responsible for resolving the matter. The bewitching woman said.

"What Elder Zhao said also makes sense. Half a month is a little nervous, so let's take the 20th. Wang Ruikun said, looking at Zhong Xiu.

"Thank you Vice President Wang for your understanding, but I am already responsible for this matter, and I should not let the Chamber of Commerce bear it for me. Now that there is still more than a month before the delivery date, if the goods cannot be recovered by then, Zhong Xiu is willing to accept any punishment. Zhong Xiu replied with an unchanged face.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ruikun and the bewitching woman were a little stunned, as if they didn't expect Zhong Xiu to answer so simply.

After all, if the Chamber of Commerce formally intervenes in this matter, there are many things that may be solved.

Taking a step back, even if the goods cannot be recovered for the time being, except for the star stone, the rest of the things can still be gathered in a short period of time with the ability of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.

It's just that if the Chamber of Commerce comes forward to solve this matter, Zhong Xiu's responsibility will naturally not be able to escape, and it is difficult to say whether there will be variables in the fifty-year service period.

This was something Shi Mu didn't want to see, so he had thought of this before.

And the most important thing is that it is difficult to find evidence in this matter that it is the Stygian Cult that is secretly playing tricks.

"Elder Zhong, do you really want the support of the Chamber of Commerce?" Wang Ruikun asked with a slight hesitation.

The bewitching woman looked at Zhong Xiu with a gaze that was almost an idiot, as if she felt that Zhong Xiu didn't know what to do at all.

"That's right. Zhong Xiu nodded.

"Okay, since Elder Zhong is so confident, so be it. However, before that, this matter must be kept secret, after all, it is a matter of the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, so it is better not to make a public announcement. Wang Ruikun nodded, and agreed.

Zhong Xiu understood. Zhong Xiu replied.

"By the way, the Chamber of Commerce has arranged accommodation for the two of you, and I'll have someone take you there later. Wang Ruikun said.

"Thank you Vice President Wang, then Zhong Xiu will leave. ”

Zhong Xiu and Wang Ruikun said goodbye and walked towards the door without looking back.

"Uncle, I think this girl is hard-mouthed, I'm afraid that those goods don't even know who has been robbed, and they still want to recover them? It's just whimsical!" The bewitching woman looked at Zhong Xiu's back as she left, and snorted coldly.

"In the past six months, there have been some uneven outside, first the goods were robbed in the branch altar of Likun City, and then similar incidents have occurred in Wuba, Qisa and other cities, and now finally there is a problem in Kangcheng. Although on the surface, it seems that it is all related to the local barbarians, but in my opinion, it may not be, there should be something behind it. Since Zhong Xiu is willing to solve it on his own, it is just right, maybe he can really find out something. Wang Ruikun said thoughtfully.

"Uncle, do you believe that this Zhong Xiu can do it?" the bewitching woman's face was full of disbelieving.

"If Zhong Xiu can recover the goods, it will also be a good thing for the Chamber of Commerce. Her ability is not weak, otherwise she would not have been given the weight of the president, so that she would compete with you for the position of demon envoy. If she can't find it, then she will naturally lose her qualifications for competition. Wang Ruikun stood up, looked out the window, and said in a calm tone.

"I see, my uncle is really thoughtful!" said the bewitching woman.

......

As a result, a few days after Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu left the headquarters of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, the news that Zhong Xiu of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce had lost the entrusted things on the way began to spread gradually in Cangxu City.

There are different opinions on this matter, some people say that it was done by the demon forces, some people say that there are barbarian forces that are dissatisfied with the dominance of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, and some even say that it is a prison guard and self-theft, in short, there are all kinds of rumors.

But there is one thing in common, that is, Zhong Xiu, the guest elder of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce who is in charge of this matter, has returned to Cangxu City, and the goods transported have indeed disappeared.

In the warehouse on Mud Tau Street.

"It seems that the news has been spread after all, but fortunately all these things are ready. Zhong Xiu looked at the eight full floating cloud cars in front of him, and sighed lightly.

"Don't worry, what should come will come. The fact that this has spread so quickly is not necessarily a bad thing for us. Shi Mu thought about it and said.

"But Brother Shi, we are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart. Zhong Xiu said.

"It's okay, don't think about it!" Shi Mu reached out and grabbed Zhong Xiu's hand and patted it gently to show comfort.

......

After it was reported that the goods held by Zhong Xiu of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce were robbed, because the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce did not come forward to refute the rumors, the party Zhong Xiu did not appear, and under the deliberate actions of the people who did good things, the matter quickly spread throughout the city.

Two days later, two uninvited guests came from outside the Tianwu Hanyuan Pavilion.

One of them, a man in his thirties and forties, with brown hair and blue eyes, and a burly figure, was the current city lord of Cangxu City, the Minister of the Condor, Ling Hukuan.

And the other man, if Shi Mu was present, he would definitely be surprised, this person was the Di Feng Hall Lord who came to the Xihe Continent with Liu An that day.

"Linghu City Lord, you are here, the old man is not welcome! By the way, who is this?" After receiving the report, Wang Ruikun hurriedly came to the door, bowed his hand to Linghu Kuan, and then his eyes fell on the person beside him and asked.

"This is the Di Altar Master of the Stygian Moon Sect Branch of the Wind Splitting Cliff. Linghu said widely.

"It turned out to be the master of the altar, fortunately!" Wang Ruikun heard this, and hurriedly smiled and arched his hand towards the other party.

"Vice President Wang, I don't want to go around the bend, I came here this time to verify the recent uproar in the city. Linghu Kuan said straight to the point.

"The old man has been busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce recently, but he has never gone out, I don't know what the Linghu City Lord is talking about?" Wang Ruikun said.

"Naturally, it's about the robbery of the batch of materials that Youcan, the lord of Rikang City, entrusted to your Chamber of Commerce to this seat. Ling Hukuan glanced at Wang Ruikun and said.

"Lord City Lord, I don't know where your news came from?" Wang Ruikun said.

"Vice President Wang doesn't need to ask where this news came from, today I just want to confirm whether the goods transported by the Tuotian Wu Chamber of Commerce are really lost?" Di Feng suddenly took over and said.

"Two, the old man really doesn't know about this, so let's go to the house and talk about it in detail. Wang Ruikun saw that people were starting to gather around him, and proposed.

The two looked at Wang Ruikun, but did not move their feet.

"Two, Tianwu Chamber of Commerce is the most credible, if what the two of them said really happens, I guarantee that they should be compensated to the two at three times the price according to the regulations. As far as I know, it is not yet the time to deliver, so please be patient and don't listen to those gossip. Wang Ruikun saw that the people around him were gathering more and more, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said solemnly.

From beginning to end, Wang Ruikun didn't mention the loss of the goods for half a minute, and he looked noncommittal, which made Hu Kuan inevitably doubt the letter, if Di Feng hadn't mentioned this matter, he wouldn't have come to Xingshi to ask about the guilt now.

Although there were rumors outside, the face of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce still had to be given, and if the goods were really lost, with Wang Ruikun's words, he was very relieved.

In this way, on the other party's steps, his face softened slightly, and after a few casual conversations with the other party, the two left.

Looking at the figure of the two leaving, Wang Ruikun's eyes were a little complicated.

In fact, he has no bottom in his heart about whether Zhong Xiu can find the goods back, according to the description of the eyeliner spies he sent, Zhong Xiu has been staying in one place for the past few days, as if he has no intention of retrieving the goods at all.

In the warehouse on Mud Tau Street.

"Xiu'er, what news did you receive, you seem to be a little sullen?" Shi Mu saw Zhong Xiu sitting silently and asked with concern.

"Brother Shi, Vice President Wang summoned me and told me that the city lord here, that is, our cargo owner, had already looked for him, but fortunately, he prevaricated this time. Zhong Xiu said.

"Hehe, the agreed delivery date has not arrived, and the arrival of the city lord at this time is just to hear the wind and exert pressure, and there will be no big problem. Shi Mu said.

"I'm not worried about the city lord's affairs, but can we really do this?" Zhong Xiu said.

Shi Mu smiled but did not answer, and nodded calmly.

As a result, at this moment, Cai'er flew in from outside the house with fluttering wings, landed on Shi Mu's shoulder, and shouted:

"Stone, guess who I saw?"

"Don't be mysterious, say it quickly!" Shi Mu didn't give Cai'er a good face, this guy has always been about to open a dyeing workshop with three colors.

"Seeing that you are in a hurry, don't let me rest first, drink saliva and catch my breath, do you know how tired it is to fly around outside all day......" Cai'er said.

Shi Mu didn't wait for it to finish, he had already flicked it on its head, Cai'er showed a bitter and bitter aggrieved look, and even Zhong Xiu on the side was amused by it.

"Okay, say it quickly, don't sell it!" Shi Mu threw a water attribute spirit stone to Cai'er and said.

"I said I can't do it yet!Di Feng, that Di Hall Master, he is now the altar master of a branch altar of the Stygian Moon Sect near here!" Cai'er swallowed the spirit stone in one bite and said.

"Lord Didian, he's also here?" Shi Mu's heart moved.

"Not only that, this guy and the city lord here, what is the name of Linghu Kuan, the relationship seems to be good. Not long ago, the two of them went to the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce to make a fuss. Cai'er continued. (To be continued.) )
