Chapter 69: Lies
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on the couple of newcomers, Shui Sheng quietly walked around and came to the side of the old men.
"Old man, how can you cry on such a happy event as marriage?"
Shui Sheng held his hands, looking lively.
And one of the old men subconsciously looked up and found that he didn't know this fierce and reckless man, so he shook his head and said.
"It's nothing, it's just too exciting. ”
The old man's duplicitous answer made Shui Sheng frown, but for now, he could only take it step by step, so he turned his words and asked.
"Oh, then I wonder what is the relationship between the newcomer and the old man, and it is worth your tears of such excitement?"
"You young man, what do you care about?"
After wiping away his tears with a handkerchief, the other old man looked at Shui Sheng vigilantly, and his tone was a little guarded.
Shui Sheng smiled when he heard this, and opened his mouth lightly.
"I'm also a frequent visitor to the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce, and Brother Chen often gives me discounts, hey, a few old people should know each other, and they are the principals of the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce shop on Wanshui Island. ”
When the words fell, the expressions of several old men clearly became a little uncomfortable, and the aquatic nature also captured this subtle change.
Nodding, Shui Sheng continued.
"By the way, speaking of which, why didn't you see Brother Chen?"
This time, the faces of several old men were even more stiff, and a trace of anger flashed in their eyes, but then turned into helplessness.
One of the old men was silent for a long time and gave an answer.
"Chen Gongzi, he was sent by the lord to go to the Red Fire Country to do business, and he has already set off for seven or eight days, so he couldn't catch the wedding. ”
Shui Sheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
It has only been five or six days since he returned from the Red Fire Country, and whether it is a port or an official road, he has never encountered a caravan from the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce.
And if Chen Liu really set off for the Red Fire Country seven or eight days ago, then he would definitely bump into it.
It is conceivable that the old man is lying, and it is no wonder that the old man's tone seems to be a little pretendedly calm, thinking that he is just making up nonsense and blurting it out.
After thinking about it, the aquatic plan was to expose the other party.
"Don't deceive me, old man, how can such a thing as running a business be handed over to Brother Chen, the warehouse manager?"
"Who the hell are you?"
Hearing Shui Sheng's rebuttal, the lying old man suddenly shouted coldly.
Fortunately, the surrounding crowd was making noise and cheering for the newcomers on stage, so no one noticed it.
But Shui Sheng was even more confused, his purpose was already very clear, that is, he just wanted to ask where Chen was staying.
But the reaction of these old men was too abnormal, as if they were afraid that others would know where Chen Liu.
"A person who has some fate with Brother Chen. ”
Shui Sheng said lightly, and after glancing at the audience, he turned to leave.
Coming to a no-man's corner, the aquatic life performed the Tibetan Step.
On the other side, the smiling fat butler was chatting with the owner of the island and others, but suddenly his body shook.
Ruppi sat next to the fat butler, startled by the sudden shaking of the other party's chubby body, and couldn't help asking.
"Fat butler, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing, I'll go and make it easier. ”
The fat butler held back his excitement, shook his head lightly, then smiled apologetically and walked out.
"Don't go, you really want to go to the hut. ”
An abrupt voice sounded, and the fat butler suddenly smiled awkwardly, turned around and saluted around the corner.
"Your Excellency. ”
And the person leaning on the corner at this time is the aquatic life who has taken off his disguise.
"Okay, without further ado, do you know where Chen stayed?"
"Chen Liu, the warehouse manager of the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce, this little one really doesn't know. ”
The fat butler shook his head thoughtfully, as the steward of the Wanshui Island Alchemist Branch designated by the aquatic life, he had also done some homework to understand the past of the aquatic life.
So naturally he knew who Chen Liu was, but obviously, he didn't know where Chen Liu was.
Shui Sheng nodded when he heard this, this answer was expected by him.
"Okay, you'll be ...... later"
Immediately, after he explained to the fat butler, he turned back into Shui Er.
And the fat butler looked at this magical scene, and wanted to pat himself on the back, but was glared back by Shui Sheng.
Then the fat butler returned to his seat in a huff.
Above the high hall, the newlyweds are holding a worship ceremony.
Suddenly, the fat butler stood up and walked up step by step.
The lively scene gradually quieted down.
Although everyone's face was puzzled, no one dared to say anything.
Because that's the fat butler, the butler of the Wanshui Island Alchemist Branch!
"Master Chen, fat butler, what is this?"
The owner of the island couldn't help but ask in a low voice at this time.
And Master Chen, who was beside him with his eyes closed, shook his head lightly, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this, the owner of the island had no choice but to nod and say nothing more.
"Contemptible people are not talented, thanks to the care of adults, they have come to this point, and the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce is indeed quite related to adults, and they have saved this girl's life long before the adults have shown their eyes. ”
On the stage, the fat butler stood proudly on his own, took out a box from the storage ring, and then continued.
"So my family hopes that Chen Liu, from the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce, will come forward and personally receive the congratulatory gift prepared by my family!"
Before the words fell, everyone was instantly excited, it turned out to be a congratulatory gift prepared by the branch elders, no wonder they had to be so pompous!
But the people of the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce and the Seven Star Chamber of Commerce suddenly looked a little uncomfortable, and no one stepped forward to pick up the box in the fat butler's hand.
And everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene.
The congratulatory gift prepared by the branch elder himself was too late to be offered, so why were the two families still a little hesitant?
The fat butler smiled when he saw this and spoke.
"What's the matter, are you going to take it, or do you look down on my family!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere cooled down suddenly, because the fat butler's last words were clearly angry.
And the old man on the side immediately waved his hand again and again, and said in a trembling tone.
"No, no, no, thanks to the care of the branch elder, my Baiyun Chamber of Commerce can gain a foothold on Wanshui Island, just now we were too excited to come back to our senses, I will accept it!"
The old man hurriedly bent down and walked in front of the fat butler, holding his hands high above his head, wanting to take the gift box in the other party's hand.
"Wait! The lord said, let Chen Liu pick it up! If he doesn't come out, I'm afraid you can't afford this gift box!"
The fat butler's tone was undoubted, which also made the old man's figure stagnate.
And the faces of the people of the two chambers of commerce also became embarrassed.
However, what made the aquatic students who watched the play feel happy was that the fat butler was not very angry, but everyone in the audience was angry first.
"It's the other way around! Dare to be so disrespectful to the aquatic life! That kid surnamed Chen should be damned!"
"Old fellow, why don't you call out that kid surnamed Chen and let him kneel on the ground to receive the salute!"
"That's it, dare to offend Lord Shuisheng! I think you better disband as soon as possible!"
Well, this group of people thought that the fat housekeeper was here to settle accounts with Chen Liu, so they started to start a fire with their preconceived ideas.
And the fat butler's expression also became quite eccentric, he didn't expect these people to "love" aquatic beings so much.
Fortunately, the reckless man in the audience nodded, and the fat butler regained his grim expression and spoke slowly.
"That's right, Chen Liu has offended my family, I have to teach him a lesson in person, otherwise, I don't mind letting the entire Baiyun Chamber of Commerce be destroyed!"
When the words fell, the island owner and others also stood up one after another, and everyone's expressions were solemn.
"Although Shui Sheng has never told us about this, since the fat butler has explained, then I, as the owner of Wanshui Island, also advise you to let Chen stay out quickly!
The owner of the island spoke toughly, and Rupi and the others also entered a fighting state.
Several of them in uniform were unusually conspicuous, and they should be the newly recruited guards of the island owner.
And such a scene also ignited everyone's emotions at once.
They seemed to have found an opportunity to prove themselves, and the gaze they looked at the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce and the Seven Star Chamber of Commerce also became extremely disdainful.
And the groom on the stage was already frightened by the sharp eyes of everyone.
He sat on the ground with his ass, and his already loose temperament became even more embarrassed.
Apparently he didn't know why a good wedding had turned out to be the way it was.
However, the woman next to him was very calm, and I don't know if it was because the red cloth covered her eyes, so she didn't react.
But Shui Sheng was shocked, because he knew that the woman was controlled by someone with drugs!
