The monks present listened to Huang Wuye's slightly threatening words, and their faces couldn't help but hesitate, Huang Wuye was only able to compete with Ji Ye, and the difference in strength between them was not big, except for the other two deacon families in Dongcheng, they were also the leaders of the emerging families in the past few hundred years.

Originally, Huang Wuye also hoped to compete for the deacon this time, but due to negligence in preparation, he lost to Ji Chang, and the best candidates to reconcile at this time were the other two deacons in Dongcheng, but today they knew the purpose of Ji Chang's wedding banquet, so they sent their own steward to bring spirit stones, and neither of them appeared in Ji's house, which led to the current cold situation.

Ji Chang also greeted some small families in advance in order to raise spirit stones this time, Qin Wen is just one of them, and now Huang Wuye is stirring up the situation like this, these small families have also made a wait-and-see attitude, of course, this also includes Qin Wen, now it is a contest between the two big guys, whoever does this first may be suppressed by Huang Wuye in the future.

Now every small family knows how to protect themselves, and they also know very well in their hearts that Ji Chang will not protect his family forever because of this matter, but if he leaves a bad impression in Huang Wuye's heart, he may find a reason in the future, and he may be destroyed by the entire family.

Ji Chang didn't expect this situation to occur, although the stewards of the other two deacons were not afraid of Huang Wuye, but this time was strong, and they couldn't help but have some intention of flattering the Ji family, so they didn't make a sound, just quietly observed the situation at the banquet, anyway, neither the Ji family nor the Huang family dared to be disrespectful to them, this time to look at the jokes, after returning to the mansion, there were also a lot of drunken conversations.

The silence at this banquet was almost a slap in the face of Ji Chang, and his eyes swept over the monks at the entire banquet, and most of the monks avoided his gaze in panic. Ji Chang's face couldn't help but become more and more gloomy, he had secretly made up his mind, as long as no one made a sound when his eyes met the wine table in front of him, then he would do whatever it took to win Huang Wuye today.

Liu Laosan, who was standing outside the door, also turned red, and the so-called lord humiliated his ministers to death. If Ji Ye was ruthlessly swept away by Huang Wuye at this banquet, then he would be used as a joke to talk about behind his back in the future, but at this time he did not signal Qin Wen, and he also knew in his heart that anyone who spoke out now would become the target of Huang Wuye's attack in the future.

Ji Chang's gaze slowly retracted, and the most sneering back fell on the face of Huang Wuye, who was sneering, his slightly hanging right hand couldn't help but clench his fist, no one has spoken yet, he can't wait like this forever. is about to take down Huang Wuye now, and Huang Wuye seems to have sensed Ji Chang's thoughts, and the wine glass in his hand was slowly placed on the table, although his face was still relaxed, but he had secretly made a guard.

At this moment of tension, suddenly there was a sound of spirit stones falling to the ground in the quiet hall, and everyone's eyes were attracted by this sound, only to see that Qin Wen's right hand suddenly had a bunch of high-grade spirit stones. There were thousands of pieces, and the monk sitting next to Qin Wen was a little frightened and dodged to the side. It seems to be to distance himself from him.

Qin Wen was also a little puzzled, he just felt that there was a wave of aura fluctuations beside him just now, but he didn't care, there should be no one to attack him at the banquet in Ji Mansion, but when he saw these extra spirit stones, he instantly understood in his heart. couldn't help but show a faint wry smile on his face, he should have been framed.

However, there are a lot of spirit stones, it seems that it is not just a prank, but someone really wants to kill himself by Huang Wuye's hand, Qin Wen couldn't help but turn around and look at the monk beside him. There were all kinds of expressions on the faces of the guests, some were surprised, some were puzzled, and of course some were gloating, because Qin Wen didn't pay attention to the direction of the fluctuation of the vitality just now, so it seemed that it was impossible to find this person.

Ji Chang and Huang Wuye also saw the spirit stone beside Qin Wen at the same time, Ji Chang's heart couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his clenched fist slowly relaxed, but at this time, he couldn't be sure of Qin Wen's true motive for taking out the spirit stone, so he said with a smile: "Eh." He suddenly couldn't remember Qin Wen's name, and immediately set his eyes on Liu Laosan outside.

Liu Laosan didn't expect that Qin Wen would suddenly take out so many spirit stones at this time, and when he saw Ji Chang's inquiring gaze, he knew what Ji Chang wanted to ask, so he hurriedly said to Ji Chang: "This monk's name is Qin Wen, the one who sent it to the courtyard of Shifu." ”

Ji Chang supported the wine table in front of him with both hands, concealed his embarrassment, and continued to speak: "This is Brother Qin Wen, what are you going to do with so many spirit stones?"

The bitter smile on Qin Wen's face became thicker and thicker, now he has become the focus of everyone's eyes, if it is said according to the truth, it will definitely not work, what Huang Wuye wants is that no one makes a sound, once he breaks this situation by himself, even if he knows that these spirit stones are not his own, he will remember himself in his heart.

And if you tell the truth, you will be greatly discounted in Ji Chang's heart, and you won't get any too good imprint, now it's time for you to stand in line, instead of leaving a bad impression on both sides, it is better to simply follow Ji Chang down the road, after making this choice, Qin Wen casually took out the thousand high-grade spirit stones he brought and said:" I just heard what Ji Ye said about building the mine into a store, this idea is good, I was only going to invest 1,000 high-grade spirit stones today, and after calculating it, I think it is more appropriate to build a mine into a store, I don't know if these spirit stones can be counted as the shares of my Qin Mansion. ”

Ji Chang smiled at this time: "Brother Qin is too worried, even if you invest more spirit stones, I, Ji Chang, will welcome it with both hands, Liu Laosan put away these spirit stones and give Brother Qin a note, this share will be doubled for Brother Qin in the ratio we said, and the extra share will be released in our house." ”

Huang Wuye looked at Qin Wen coldly, like looking at a fool, and waited until a monk next to him whispered a few words to him gently, Huang Wuye flicked the sleeves of his robe, and no longer said anything to Ji Chang, and walked straight out of the main hall of Ji Mansion, and the few monks he brought also followed behind him and walked out.

After Huang Wuye walked out of the main hall, the depressing atmosphere in the hall just now was suddenly swept away, and under the leadership of Qin Wen, the monks who were silent just now all took out their spirit stones, although Ji Chang looked at these monks and felt a little unhappy, but he had been in the city of expulsion for so many years, and he also knew the thoughts of these monks, and he dealt with them one by one with a faint smile on his face.

The fundraising work was very smooth, Liu Laosan convened a group of bookkeeping stewards, some collected spirit stones, some wrote the IOUs of spirit stones, and in the time of nearly half a pillar of incense, they completely collected all the spirit stones, and some of them said that the spirit stones they brought today were not enough, and they would send them to Ji Mansion tomorrow.

With the departure of Liu Laosan and the stewards, the banquet continued, and there was a noisy scene in the main hall, as if Huang Wuye had never been here.

Qin Wen's mind was not at the banquet, after searching for the monks who framed him to no avail, he also noticed the monks sitting at the same table with him, although these monks were smiling when they talked to him, but there was also a faint sense of distance between them, for fear that he and Qin Wen would get too close and be told to Huang Wuye by others.

Although the person was not found, there was still an important question lingering in Qin Wen's mind, he had not been in the city of expulsion for a long time, except for Shi Mansion, there should not be too many enemies, now that the head of Shi Mansion is dead, and the other people who are related to him by blood have been abolished by Lu Mo and cultivated, and there is nothing missing, but who would use this thousand high-grade spirit stones to arouse Huang Wuye's evil feelings towards himself?

After thinking about it for about half a pillar of incense, Qin Wen didn't come to any conclusions, and after thinking about it, since the matter had become like this, there was no way to get it back if he thought about it again, so he simply had a full meal first, and then made plans after he went back.

The banquet lasted for an hour and a half, from noon almost to the west, the monk who came to the Ji family to go to the banquet walked out of the main hall slightly drunk, Qin Wen also walked out of the gate of the Ji Mansion with the crowd, and suddenly saw Liu Laosan quietly beckoning to himself in front of the mansion, Qin Wen avoided the monk in front of him, walked in front of Liu Laosan and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, is there anything wrong?"

Liu Laosan looked at the steward who was not far away from him, and said: "Master Qin, the affairs in the house are over, I still have some things to tell you, there are many people here, it is better for us to talk while walking, anyway, I have to go to the inn to have a look now." ”

Qin Wen nodded, and the two chatted casually while walking, and after walking out of the scope of the Ji Mansion, Liu Laosan said with a slightly worried face: "I am the old man of the Ji Mansion, this sentence may not be said, but the relationship between us is not bad, I can only remind you that what you did today is indeed a little too impulsive, and Huang Wuye is not easy to mess with." ”

In the process of chatting with Liu Laosan, Qin Wen already knew that he wanted to remind himself, but it didn't hurt to tell the truth in front of Liu Laosan, Qin Wen said with a slightly wry smile: "Shopkeeper Liu, if I say that the thousand high-grade spirit stones next to me today are not mine, do you believe it?"

Liu Laosan's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, he thought for a while, and said with some caution: "If the spirit stone is not you, could it be that someone deliberately placed it next to you?

Qin Wen nodded and said, "I think so too, but except for Shi Fu, I haven't been estranged from other monks here, and I haven't figured out who it will be now?" (To be continued......)
