Even if something is lost, no matter how much he blames, I'm afraid it can't be blamed on Steward Xu, at least before him, there are those guards who are responsible for taking care of the warehouse to blame.

Lu Tingsheng was puzzled when he heard this, so he said while helping Steward Xu: "Old Xu, get up quickly! It's cold underground, it's not good to have rheumatism!"

Steward Xu still knelt on the ground and refused to get up, and he began to tell the truth: "Report to the alliance leader!" At that time, I asked Mr. Su and them to hand over their weapons, but they were very reluctant, so I made a guarantee, and they were willing to hand over their weapons......

Lu Tingsheng didn't care when he heard this, smiled and said: "What's the matter, you take their things, it's normal to make some guarantees, if I let someone else take my things, he won't give me some guarantees, I'm afraid I don't want to give him things!"

Lu Tingsheng has long been accustomed to this kind of business, so he can understand Steward Xu's behavior.

"It's just ......," Steward Xu said in a slurred, "the premium I promised them was a bit ......."

Now that the blue orb is lost, it stands to reason that they will be compensated for the insurance premium.

Lu Tingsheng heard this, so he said, "Hmm...... Although those pair of short swords are not particularly valuable, those two long swords are indeed very precious treasures, even if you give them a few hundred taels of gold insurance, I don't think it is too much!"

Although the insured price of a few hundred taels of gold is indeed not low, it is still much worse for Steward Xu's expectations, after all, Steward Xu had made a guarantee of ten thousand taels of gold.

Seeing that Steward Xu was still kneeling on the ground, Lu Tingsheng thought to himself that this Xu Ding would not set the price high, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Tingsheng said: "Those two excellent swords are here, it's just that they lost a blue orb, it's enough to pay them a few dozen taels of gold, right?"

Steward Xu listened to this, so he said in a stumbling voice: "Returning to the alliance master, in fact, the insurance price is not in the sword, but in the blue orb......"

Lu Tingsheng was puzzled when he heard this, but he didn't expect that such an inconspicuous blue glass bead was actually more valuable than those two swords.

Thinking of this, Lu Tingsheng felt that Steward Xu might have been deceived by Su Dui, so he tentatively asked Steward Xu, "What's the matter? Could it be that you guaranteed a thousand taels of gold for that blue glass bead?"

Although Lu Tingsheng tentatively raised the upper limit of his expectation, this was still far from being far behind for Steward Xu.

At this time, Steward Xu was lying on the ground, and the cold sweat that flowed out was about to freeze the ground.

Lu Tingsheng saw that he still refused to get up, so he asked straight to the point: "Old Xu, just say it directly! How much did you set for them?!"

Now that it has reached this juncture, it seems that it is impossible not to say it, so Steward Xu said in a hesitant manner: "This ...... I kept the gold...... 10,000 taels ......"

Lu Tingsheng felt incredulous when he heard it, and at first he thought that he had heard it wrong, so he continued to ask Steward Xu, "What?

Saying this once is enough to make Steward Xu worried, but saying this twice, wouldn't it make him have a heart attack?

But it can't be said otherwise, now Steward Xu is already in a difficult situation.

Steward Xu then repeated in a low voice: "I...... I saved it...... Gold...... 10,000 taels ......"

This time, Lu Tingsheng was sure that he had heard correctly, and he shouted: "What ?!!!——"

Indeed, 10,000 taels of gold is not a small amount, even if it is Lu Tingsheng, it is impossible to splash so much money like splashing water.

For businessmen, money is used to make money, even if it is spent in large sums, it must be because it will be spent in this way to get more, at least the corresponding effect. But now that he has lost 10,000 taels of gold for no reason, even if he has as much money as Lu Tingsheng, he will inevitably feel heartache.

Seeing that Lu Tingsheng actually had such a strong reaction, Steward Xu was even more frightened and lay on the ground, and he didn't dare to breathe for a moment.

Seeing that Lu Tingsheng was about to get angry, Steward Xu remembered Bai Chang who was standing aside when he was in great danger.

The idea of giving Lu Tingsheng an honest explanation was still made by Bai Chang, not to mention that Bai Chang also said at that time that he would help him intercede at a critical time.

Thinking of this, Steward Xu hurriedly communicated with Bai Chang with his eyes: "Hey! You should hurry up and say something! This honest bad idea is still your fucking idea!"

Bai Chang saw Steward Xu's eyes asking for help, and his body shivered involuntarily. But since he had already promised Steward Xu to help him speak, Bai Chang had no choice but to bite the bullet now.

"Alliance leader, please calm your anger, I think Lao Xu should have just said it casually at the time, and he didn't think that things would be lost, right?"

It doesn't matter if you don't say this, Lu Tingsheng became even more angry when he said it. I saw Lu Tingsheng waving his arms in the air, and said to Bai Chang with some emotion: "Tell me casually, can the signboard of our Bright Alliance be casually said?!"

Steward Xu hurriedly said: "The alliance leader, please calm your anger, when I said the deposit, I didn't make a note, so even if Mr. Su and the others want this money, they can't do it without evidence......

Steward Xu thought to himself, maybe it was because there were too many taels of gold that Lu Tingsheng was so angry. If Lu Tingsheng knew that this was a deal that would not necessarily come to fruition, he might be a little angry, so he said so.

But after hearing this, Lu Tingsheng shook his head and said, "No! You are the head of our Bright Alliance, can you let what you say like a fart? If you let the people in the rivers and lakes know, won't they all see me laughing?"

Seeing Steward Xu kneeling on the ground, Lu Tingsheng's heart finally softened, after all, Xu Ding's qualifications were there, and he had made a lot of contributions to the Guangming League over the past few decades, and he really couldn't do anything to him because of this matter.

Thinking of this, Lu Tingsheng went forward with both hands to support Xu Ding and said, "Old Xu, you better get up first! Even if you make a mistake, you don't have to kneel to talk to me, you will inevitably torture me too much." ”

After hearing this, Steward Xu seemed that Lu Tingsheng's tone had indeed softened, and then he got up from the ground in a gloomy manner.

Bai saw that Lu Tingsheng didn't seem to be angry, so he asked tentatively, "Alliance leader...... Now that things are going to be like this, what are you going to do?"

Lu Tingsheng didn't rush to answer, but carefully looked at the drawer where Su Dui's and his party's things were stored.

After flipping it, Lu Tingsheng found that there was a small pebble inside, which made him feel quite puzzled.

Because the inside of this warehouse is surrounded by soil and earth walls, there are no such small stones.
