Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Ding Zhang was sitting.
Ever since Ding Feng was crippled by Su Lie, he had naturally sat on this seat!
Within a short half a month, he had already completely adapted to it.
Previously, Ding Ke would definitely fly a pigeon in the early morning to notify everyone!
The caravan that should have arrived today was nowhere to be seen.
There was no news at all.
"Report!"
Ding Zhang paced back and forth in the City Lord's Mansion with an anxious expression on his face.
Just as he was hesitating, an anxious voice sounded out from outside the door.
"Is there any news?"
Ding Zhang's eyes lit up and immediately said, "Come in! Did Ding Ke and co. arrive? "
This batch of goods was not only from the Lee family, but also from the Ding family.
One million and two hundred thousand was enough for a family to earn for half a year.
"No, they haven't come back yet."
That person's voice trembled slightly as he hurriedly said.
Ding Zhang's gaze suddenly turned cold as he said in a cold voice, "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The servant swallowed a mouthful of saliva, seemingly unable to speak.
After a while, he said in an intermittent voice, "Yes. We found dozens of corpses and the remains of seven carriages about thirty kilometers away from the southern part of the city. "Dressed in the clothes of our Ding Clan …"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ding Zhang!
He said coldly: "What about Ding Ke? And the drugs on the carriage!? "
"None of the seven carriages were burned. As for Elder Ding Ke and Elder Ding Ke, he … "
The servant's face had a hint of a sobbing tone, "We found a bloody corpse at the scene, it seemed to have been hacked to death by lightning! "From the looks of it, it should be Ding Ke …"
"Pah!"
Just as he finished speaking, he was sent flying by Ding Zhang's slap!
He was lying unconscious on the side.
Ding Zhang's face was filled with anger as he shouted, "Investigate, investigate! Summon all of the spies from the Su and Luo Families! "
Roughly an hour later, the spies who were monitoring the two families yesterday had all gathered in the large hall!
When they found out about the situation, they all remained silent, afraid that they would stir up a ruckus.
In fact, none of them noticed anything amiss!
Yesterday, there were no experts from the two families.
Even the guards at the south gate didn't gain anything.
In fact, all of them knew it!
If it was a Natal Opening Realm Ranker, using some tools to climb over a ten-meter-tall wall would be like playing a game.
If one intentionally avoided the city gates, there was not much chance for one to find one … Looking at the silent crowd, Ding Zhang's face was as dark as water!
He knew that he would never be able to get an answer out of it.
However, this matter absolutely could not be let go just like this.
After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have found the main point, and coldly said: "Then where is Ling Feng Merchant Guild! Yesterday night, was there anyone that sounded suspicious entering and exiting the Ling Feng Merchant Guild? "
Even after hearing his words, the entire hall was still silent!
After a moment, the person in charge of monitoring the Su Family coughed twice, and said slowly: "You only told us to monitor the Su and Luo Families, you didn't tell us to watch the Ling Feng Merchant Guild. "Because of manpower issues, we don't dare to arbitrarily arrange it …"
"You!"
Ding Zhang's expression changed. Just when he was about to flare up!
He just humphed and restrained himself.
After that, his expression became calmer as he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I have neglected this matter."
Although the mutual delivery team was huge, with Ding Ke present, there were also seven to eight Natal Opening Realm Rankers giving it away!
However, with the Ling Feng Merchant Guild's strength, if she was willing to put in the effort, she could naturally do it in a subversive manner … This amount of one million and two hundred thousand was based on spirit stones!
To the Ding Clan and the Li Clan, this was a heavy burden.
"We've lost them all. If we don't handle them well, the consequences will be severe …" "Damn it!"
The furious fist slammed onto the table, causing the entire table to shatter!
However, the crowd could only silently endure this anger, and didn't dare to say a single word.
After a long time, he didn't speak.
And those who were recruited also tactfully withdrew, leaving only the ashen-faced Ding Zhang in the main hall.
"..." It was unknown who had leaked the secret, but the news about the Ding Clan and the Li Clan having a value of 1.2 million Low grade spirit stone very quickly spread, and in a single day, it had spread throughout the entire Qing Yang City.
When the situation became uncontrollable, the Ding family finally reacted.
However, he didn't know who had leaked it. He could only give up on his anger.
When this matter spread, there were naturally those who were happy and those who were sad!
Amongst them, the Su Clan was the happiest.
The second day after Su Lie returned to the Su Clan.
Because of this matter, the Su Clan held another meeting.
For the past hundred years, the situation in Qingyang City had not changed!
They naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
At noon the next day, within the hall of the Su Clan.
"This time, the Ding Clan and the Li Clan lost a total of 1.2 million spirit stones!"
In the main hall, Su Zhenbei still had that cynical look on his face as he chuckled: "If we can't find a new source of income in time, I'm afraid they will even lose their pants right?"
After he finished this sentence, Su Zhe and the other elders looked at each other.
In the end, Su Zhe still stood up and said in a clear voice, "This time's losses are huge, they will definitely think of all ways to remedy this! "If you wish to have the funds in your hands to move around, there is only one way for them to do that right now, and that is to borrow money."
"Lending money?"
Su Zhenbei was stunned for a moment and then immediately reacted!
No matter how hard they tried to sell these 1.2 million, they wouldn't be able to make up for it within a short period of time.
In the vicinity of Qingyang City, the only power that had the ability to borrow such a terrifying share could be counted on one hand!
He wasn't an idiot. Thinking about that, he knew what Su Zhe was going to say next.
Clearing his throat, Su Zhe continued to speak slowly: "Amongst these forces, my Su Family, Luo Family will definitely not lend it out! And since the Ling Feng Merchant Guild and the City Lord's Mansion had just become enemies, it was unlikely for them to do so either. Then, the only remaining forces will be the few other merchant guilds and the Wan Family s. "
Mentioning the Ling Feng Merchant Guild, it would naturally be associated with the Tianhai Merchant Guild!
However, this thought was quickly dispelled by everyone.
It was said that the reason the Tianhai Merchant Guild had transferred the funds out recently was because of the Merchant Union's Great Assembly.
At this time, the Tianhai Merchant Guild was definitely unable to take out this kind of spirit stone.
As for the other merchant guilds, they might not be any weaker than Ling Feng or the Tianhai clan.
However, they were only a small crowd in Qingyang City.
Nothing to worry about.
"Then the only power left would be the Wan Family."
After rejecting so many powers, in the end only the Wan Family remained.
Everyone suddenly felt that the blow this time was too huge for the Ding Clan?
"Wan Family is indeed a problem. If the Wan Family was willing to pay, adding on the hundred years of savings of the Ding and Li Clans. Although the losses are still great, we can still make it through. "
Su Hai nodded his head and said in a deep voice, "If Wan Family watches from the sidelines, then it won't be much better for the Ding and Li Families even if they don't go bankrupt this time. "The problem of running out of funds is enough to put an end to a family's prosperity …"
Without a large amount of spirit stones, even the cultivation of the elders would be a problem!
Every month, an elder would need at least a hundred or even a thousand spirit stones.
If they deducted all of these shares, it was likely that there would be quite a few problems in their training.
"Wan, Li Family has a good relationship with each other for generations. If you want them to not act, then you need enough chips to move their hearts … "
What Su Hai said after that caused the entire hall to fall into silence.
It was enough to move a family!
Then, how big was this bargaining chip?
Although the Ding and Li Families had suffered such a huge loss, they were naturally willing!
But because of this, Wan Family had to be given a free gift to lower his head. No one would be willing to give it to him.
Furthermore, the size of this chip would definitely be enough to make their hearts ache.
This fact caused the entire hall to go silent.
A moment later, a clear and bright voice of a youth suddenly resounded throughout the hall. "I don't know …" Two sets of Grade Six Martial Skill! Is this bargaining chip enough? "
Grade six cultivation technique!
Su Zhenbei's smirking face instantly froze.
Afterwards, he looked at the young man who spoke with some disbelief, as if he did not dare believe it. "Su Lie … Where did you get the Grade Six Martial Skill? "
As the Patriarch of the Su Clan, he naturally knew all the secrets of the Su Clan's Scripture Pavilion!
Until now, the Su Clan's highest level cultivation technique was only a high grade fifth-grade cultivation technique.
If there was a rank 6 cultivation technique, it would have almost surpassed all the levels that the Su Clan had hidden.
The person who spoke was naturally Su Lie!
He rolled his eyes and snorted, "It was Jia Wei who gave it to me. If you will contribute to the Wan Family, you will naturally contribute to our Su Family as well. "
If you have anything to say, give it to Jia Wei first!
As he said that, he flicked his wrist and took out [Obscure Sword Art] and Heavenly Imperial Slash.
It was placed in front of everyone.
The faint light from it instantly showed the level of these two martial skills!
Everyone present was knowledgeable, so when they saw the two cultivation techniques, their eyes immediately lit up.
"These two Martial Skills are both genuine Grade Six. "Of course, I made a slight change in it, which reduced its power a lot."
Su Lie's clear and sonorous voice once again sounded. "Actually, we might as well change it a bit! These two martial skills could be sold for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in Wan Family. And now that he has lost several hundred thousand Spirit Stones, he naturally will not have the ability to borrow and borrow from the City Lord's Mansion. "
"Ugh …"
Su Lie's suggestion was obviously extremely good!
After a short discussion, everyone agreed.
The great temptation of the Grade Six Martial Skill, he believed the Wan Family would not reject it.
He saw that no one had any objections!
Su Zhenbei, Su Zhennan and the five core elders discussed for a while.
Immediately, he slapped the table and confirmed, "Then..." It's settled! "
Seeing the agreement of the family's higher ups, a faint smile appeared on Su Lie's face.
