Chapter 240: Goodbye Chaojiu!
After Leng Lingtian left Chi Yan Feng, her figure flashed and she entered the residence behind the Tianyan Chamber of Commerce, because there, she was going to meet someone!
The figure flashed, Leng Lingtian silently avoided the guards outside the Chamber of Commerce like a burst of smoke, it may be that the Tianyan Chamber of Commerce was closed recently, so there was no one, Leng Lingtian easily entered the residential area behind, where the stewards and subordinates of the Chamber of Commerce generally lived, and through a small corner gate in the west, Leng Lingtian came to a courtyard full of pear blossoms!
At this time, the courtyard was quiet, and there was not even a single servant, which was convenient for Leng Lingtian, and with a sweep of his divine sense, the girl found the target this time!
Hooking the corners of his mouth, a faint layer of black mist spread on the outside of Leng Lingtian's body, and after a breath, it became transparent, and in this way, he easily passed through several small prohibitions around the courtyard and then went to the main room on the west side!
This is a small room, although the Tianyan Chamber of Commerce is the richest place in the entire cultivation realm, but with the style of the place where the master of the Chamber of Commerce lives, I can also think of the house behind the Tianyan Chamber of Commerce for the steward, of course, it will not be luxurious, but it is better to be simple and clean, with a square and organized feeling!
Leng Lingtian likes this very much, meticulous and organized, this is what makes people appreciate!
Easily passing through the prohibition, Leng Lingtian did not rush into the room, because there was not only one person in the room!
At this time, the room was a middle-aged man with a goatee, with a habitual frown. Apparently habitual calling
The person who gave the order gently tapped on the table table under his hand, and this person was Chao Jiu. I saw him leaning back in his chair, his eyes sharp like an eagle waiting for hunting, staring closely at the man who was standing in front of him with his head hanging down at this time, and saw that he was wearing the unique black robe of the Tianyan Chamber of Commerce, obviously a servant!
But after a few breaths, the servant was stared at by Chaojiu's gaze and began to leave a cold sweat on his head, as if he had been wet by the rain, he slid down his cheeks and neck into the collar, and swallowed his saliva unconsciously. But he didn't dare to look up at Chao Jiu opposite, but honestly waited for the other party to speak!
Tilting his head, he straightened the placket of his clothes towards Jiu. He raised his chin and looked at the trembling servant in front of him: "Do you know why I came to you today?" ”
Leng Lingtian outside the window wanted to laugh when he heard this, no way, this is not right at all no matter how he answers, ordinary people will say "I don't know"!
Sure enough. The servant was visibly stunned. Then he stammered nervously and asked, "Boss Chao, villain, I really don't know what mistakes I made!" ”
Cold sweat slipped down drop by drop, and now it seemed as if he had deliberately made trouble for a long time, but he saw Chao Jiu's eyes narrow, and he stared at the pitiful-looking man in front of him with a fierce look: "Oh, I don't know? I'm curious about this, you're a servant of the West Pavilion. It's okay, how could I see you enter the courtyard of the East Pavilion? ”
"Not as well. How about telling me about yourself? I hate eating inside and out! As soon as the words fell, Chao Jiu slapped the table hard, and suddenly slammed it so much that the servant knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy loudly!
"Steward, steward, this really doesn't matter about the villain, today is the Zhaoqing of the East Pavilion who won the reward, that is, I invited a few of us acquaintances to drink, but, but there is really nothing else, you have to believe me, steward!"
Chao Jiu let out a "hmm", as if sighing, only to make the servant tremble again: "What did that servant get rewarded for?" ”
"This, the villain heard him say that it seemed that Wu Huan, the steward of the East Pavilion, instructed him to dispose of some useless things, and he did a good job, so he rewarded something!" As soon as the servant finished speaking, he swallowed his saliva, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Chao Jiu!
"What did you dispose of?" Chao Jiu immediately followed, and then asked!
"Yes, it's the ornaments that are replaced in the pavilion every year, and the items that are unauctioned!" As soon as the servant finished speaking, he was so frightened that he trembled when he spoke!
As soon as Chao Jiu heard this, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes looked at the person who shrunk under his feet: "Forget it today, do you know how to keep in touch with that Zhaoqing, and remember to report any news you get, if you let me know what tricks you play, hum, you know the end!" ”
"Yes, yes, the villain knows, the villain knows!" The servant hurriedly returned, and when he saw the other party's appearance, he waved his hand at Jiucai and let people go down!
Seeing Chao Jiu's action, the servant's expression was obviously that he had escaped, and he quickly disappeared in front of his eyes, and hurriedly ran out of the small courtyard and disappeared in a blink of an eye, as if there was a dog chasing him behind him!
When Leng Lingtian saw this, he understood, it seemed that Chaojiu's opponent had smuggled the things in the Chamber of Commerce, and he had grabbed the pigtails!
This is Chao Jiu is picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip, after putting it down, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and there was no previous spring breeze between his frowning brows, but he was very depressed, it seemed that catching the opponent's pigtail did not make him feel relaxed!
At this time, Leng Lingtian saw that the time was almost up, so he pushed the door directly and entered! After the door opened, the gentle creak suddenly woke up the pensive Chao Jiu, and when he looked at the empty door, he was on guard, and shouted, "Who is it?" ”
Leng Lingtian didn't pretend to be a ghost this time, but his figure flashed very directly, and he easily sat on the chair opposite Chao Jiu, and at this time, the iconic black robe of the Dan Demon also appeared in front of Chao Jiu, it turned out that Leng Lingtian removed the prohibition outside his body and directly showed his figure!
Chao Jiu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then quickly removed his stern appearance as if he had changed his face, and immediately stood up with a smiling face: "It turned out to be the Dan Demon senior, I don't know if the senior came, if the junior has any rudeness, please don't care about the senior!" ”
When Leng Lingtian heard that someone of such an age called himself a senior, he immediately felt so refreshed! The palm-sized white jade showed an arrogant smile on her face, but she was glad that Lan Yue was not by her side now, otherwise she would definitely give her a burst, of course, now Chao Jiu in front of him couldn't see Leng Lingtian's expression hidden under the black robe!
A gentle "um" as a response, or that hoarse and old look!
I was relieved when I heard that the other party was not moving, what kind of person had never been seen in the steward of the Tianyan Chamber of Commerce for so many years, but somehow, in front of this person, it was like being out of breath, and that invisible coercion reminded him all the time that this person in front of him was not a person to be messed with!
didn't dare to make any changes, so he said directly and respectfully: "I don't know if the seniors have anything to explain to the juniors when they come today, don't worry, as long as you explain it, the juniors will definitely do it for you!" ”
This is humble enough, but it also reveals a kind of self-confidence, it seems that the other party also knows that Leng Lingtian has something to do with the Tianyan Chamber of Commerce to find himself, so he is quite confident!
When Leng Lingtian heard this, he raised his head lightly and looked at the respectful Chao Jiu in front of him, leaned back in the chair, and said hoarsely with Erlang's legs crossed: "What is the situation in the Chamber of Commerce now, especially between those elders and the merchant owners!" ”
Chao Jiuyi was shocked when he heard this, what did this person want to do, how could he want to know about the things in the Chamber of Commerce?
There was some apprehension in his heart, but Chao Jiu still didn't dare to directly reject Leng Lingtian's question, so he thought for a while and said: "This, this junior is not too clear, but it seems that there has always been a discord between the elders and the merchant owners!" ”
"Oh, that's all?" Leng Lingtian raised his tone, which directly made Chao Jiu's heart tremble!
"Don't dare to deceive the seniors, this is still since the merchant was injured, the elders have been making small moves in private, and some time ago I heard that the chief manager Qing Glaze and a few elders around the merchant scolded him, we are just some small stewards, that is, we know a rough experience!"
When Leng Lingtian heard this, his eyes narrowed, Chao Jiu in front of him didn't tell the truth, according to the information from the Intelligence Pavilion under her command, Chao Jiu in front of him was not as simple as a small outer door manager!
But now it seems that if there is no benefit, it seems that this person will not say anything, Leng Lingtian thought of this and his voice changed: "You are now in the late stage of Jindan, right?" ”
As soon as Chao Jiu heard this, his eyes lit up, but he immediately put on that respectful look again: "I really can't hide it from my seniors, my juniors just broke through a few days ago, and this is still relying on the elixir rewarded by my seniors!" ”
Leng Lingtian laughed when he heard this, Xiang Xiang didn't hate such a greedy girl, after all, it was very simple, right?
So as soon as the black light flashed in his hand, a small wooden box appeared, this time the wooden box didn't seem to be special on the surface, but when Leng Lingtian put him in front of Chao Jiu, he saw that Chao Jiu's eyes were obviously lit up, and he couldn't take his eyes off it!
Very good, Leng Lingtian smiled when he saw this a long time ago, he was afraid that you were not greedy, so he asked again, "Have those elders made any recent moves?" ”
Chao Jiu swallowed his saliva and forced his eyes to take his eyes off the pill: "Recently, in the hands of the merchant lord recently, some of the stewards under these elders have secretly sold the items in the Chamber of Commerce, but they are just small things, and no one will pay attention to them, but I received a message a few days ago that the great elder seems to be buying snow spirit grass in private, but in my opinion, it may be for the sake of Shangshang where to ask for credit!" The others were nothing special, and the other two elders were very peaceful! ”
Leng Lingtian's eyes narrowed, and Chao Jiuyi in front of him said a lot of words, which seemed to have said a lot of information, but when he thought about it carefully, it was just a trivial matter! It seems that some means are needed to make him obedient! (To be continued......)
