Chapter 246: Confrontation (Three Watches Guarantee for a Monthly Pass)
In the spacious hall, more than 10 people sat as guests and hosts.
When Rong Kaixuan and the others entered, Ye Jianhao's uncle and nephew had already been waiting here for a long time.
With a turn of his eyes, Rong Triumph took everyone in the hall into view. In addition to the patriarch Rong Yifu, the two clan elders Rong Jiexuan and Rong Jiesen, some famous division-level powerhouses in the family are also on the side.
Sitting opposite them were more than a dozen people with the same attire, including Wang Pengyi. However, today he is clearly not the protagonist, but like everyone else, he stands respectfully behind the two men sitting in the Taishi's chair.
The two men were about fifty years old, with kind eyebrows and eyes, and there always seemed to be a faint kind smile on their faces, as if they were a Maitreya Buddha, which made people happy at first sight.
The other man had a cold face and slightly closed eyes, even though there were two congenital-level Rong family elders sitting opposite, he didn't show the slightest respect.
Seeing Rong Kaixuan and the others entering, Rong Yixuan smiled and said, "You guys are here, I'll introduce you to you." He stretched out his hand and pointed at the old man with a kind face, and said, "This is Li Mao, the shopkeeper of Pinbaotang Qiangan City. ”
Li Mao turned his head to look, and a cold light suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Rong Kaixuan and the others were all unfree, and at this moment, a bone-chilling chill was released from Li Mao's body, and the chill was extremely powerful, that is, it was difficult for them to resist.
Innate level powerhouse......
Rong Kaixuan and the others were shocked, they never thought that this big shopkeeper would be an innate powerhouse.
Ye Xunhe once said that Pinbaotang intended to let Ye Jianhao serve as the chief treasurer of Qiangan City.
And Ye Jianhao himself is just an ordinary division-level martial artist, so Rong Kaixuan and others all think that the big shopkeeper of Pinbaotang is not good at force, as long as he knows business and has a certain amount of force, he is enough to be qualified for this position. But now it seems. It turns out that there are exceptions.
However, people who are good at business tend not to have too much success on the path of cultivation.
It's because they're distracted and fetted up. However, there will always be people with extraordinary talents, and this Li Mao shopkeeper is undoubtedly one of them.
"I've seen the big shopkeeper. Rong Kaixuan and the others bowed and saluted.
Although the two sides have no intersection, just by virtue of this person's innate powerhouse identity, it is enough to make people respect.
Li Mao smiled and said, "A few junjie don't need to be polite. He paused and said, "The old man has heard several names in Qianjiang City. Hehe. It's amazing that a hero is a teenager. ”
Rong Kaixuan and the others glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts, this old man is really different from ordinary congenital powerhouses, at least, he does not have the arrogance of innate powerhouses, even when facing a few juniors who meet for the first time, he also maintains a certain amount of politeness.
Rong Yi smiled and said, "This is Mr. Xu Lei, the chief protector of Qiangan City. He glanced at Rong Kaixuan meaningfully, and said, "Mr. Xu is a well-known congenital-level martial artist. The cultivation of a body has reached the late stage of the innate stage, not far from the peak, and he is expected to impact the grandmaster in this life, and he is a great genius. ”
Xu Lei's cold face finally tugged. There was a faint smile on his face. It's just that this smile seems a bit far-fetched no matter how you look at it.
Rong Kaixuan and the others saluted again, and looked up to this person.
Although both of them are congenital-level powerhouses, Xu Lei is not only much younger. And more importantly, he has been promoted to the late stage of the innate stage, and even has the hope of impacting the grandmaster. In terms of force. Li Mao is far from it.
However, I don't know if Xu Lei is too proud or because of his personality, his attitude towards Rong Kaixuan and others is much colder. Nodding slightly, Xu Lei closed his eyes slightly, as if he was indulging in a shijie that belonged to him completely, and had no connection with the outside world.
Rong Kaixuan and the others secretly said in their hearts, such a guy who is not familiar with human feelings, no wonder he can only sit as the chief protector of the law, but cannot serve as the chief treasurer.
Lin Fadu secretly stepped forward and gently pulled Rong Kaixuan, with an extremely strange look in his eyes.
Rong Kaixuan was slightly stunned, blinked twice, and didn't understand what the hell he was doing.
However, a subtle, insect-like sound came into my ears abruptly.
"Brother Triumph, after entering this hall, I sensed the whereabouts of the spirit weapon. ”
Rong Kaixuan was slightly stunned, after all, Lin Fadu was born in a famous family, and it is not surprising that he has some special skills. The ability to get a voice into one's own ears without worrying about others eavesdropping on it is nothing. However, there was something strange about his words.
As if seeing the doubts in his heart, Lin Fadu continued: "Brother doesn't know, those two spiritual weapons were specially customized for me by the family, and in the spiritual weapons, two drops of my essence blood are also integrated. As long as the spirit weapon is within ten feet of my body, then even if it is put into the spatial equipment, it will be sensed by me. ”
Rong Kaixuan's face changed slightly, and his heart was greatly shocked.
Ever since the spiritual weapon on Ye Jianhao's body disappeared, they thought that the thief had escaped.
But now it seems that this thing is still in the Rong Mansion, which is really incomprehensible and exciting.
"Patriarch Rong, you should know what I'm waiting for. Li Mao said with a smile: "Our Pinbaotang and the Rong family have always been good friends with each other, and there have been many large transactions in the past ten years. ”
Rong Yi smiled and said, "What the big shopkeeper said is that the relationship between our two families has always been harmonious, and it should be maintained for a long time. ”
"Good. The smile on Li Mao's face suddenly narrowed, and he said, "Patriarch Rong, since you said so, it will be easy to do." He touched Ye Jianhao with his hand and said, "This person is the shopkeeper of our Pinbaotang, he embezzled the guests' property, and was discovered by us, and should have been executed according to the law." But......" he paused slightly, and said, "This person was forcibly stranded by the children of your family. Hehe, the old man knows that this is a good intention from the children of your house, for fear that he will run away. However, now that the old man has brought President Xu's protector to the Dharma in person, even if this person is capable, he will not want to escape. He looked at Rong Yi and said word by word: "Please hand over this person to me and others." ”
Rong Yi's brows suddenly furrowed, and he looked at Rong Kaixuan in embarrassment.
In fact, if it was really the ordinary children of the family who caused such a monstrous disaster. He would definitely hand them over without saying a word. However, Rong Kaixuan is different, he is not only the nephew of the clan elder Rong Jason, but even the new clan elder Meng Yan is his follower, plus he is the Wang family's fast son-in-law, and he has infinite potential.
It can be said that the Rong family will not be able to make the decision to give up on him no matter what.
Coughing lightly, Rong Yi said in a deep voice: "Big shopkeeper, this matter is strange, it is by no means such a simple matter. Please also ask the treasurer to be clear. ”
Li Mao's face sank, and he said, "Patriarch Rong, the old man and the others are sincere, but they came with good intentions, please don't let us return disappointed." ”
Ye Jianhao was obviously forcibly plundered by Rong Kaixuan and others, but in his mouth, he became a disciple of the Rong family who wanted to take care of the suspect for Pinbaotang.
This statement really gives the Rong family enough face, even the most picky person will have a good impression of him.
It's just that......
Rong Yiyi sighed lightly. He had already made up his mind in an instant.
Unless the other party dispatched a figure that the entire Rong family could not contend with, he would definitely not make Rong Kaixuan feel cold.
"Big shopkeeper, Ye Jianhao is a treasure lost in our Rong family, and our Rong family is also responsible for this matter. Rong Yi sighed with emotion. He said, "Hey, big treasurer, please give us a certain amount of time, we will definitely be able to find the thief." and delivered him to the house. ”
Li Mao's brows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look behind him.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a thin and tall figure strode forward. He bowed deeply to Li Mao and said, "Big shopkeeper, Ye Jianhao's loss of the treasure is full of nonsense, and it is clear that he took the treasure and swallowed it privately. He looked at Ye Jianhao, with an angry face, and said: "Such a treacherous and cunning person is still the shopkeeper of our Pinbaotang, I really don't know how much he has embezzled over the years, even if it is ten thousand pieces, it is not a pity to die." ”
Rong Kaixuan's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
A cold light flashed in the man's eyes, and he said loudly: "The shopkeeper of this Qiangancheng branch is happy." ”
The eyes of Rong Kaixuan and the others suddenly stared over.
This person is one of the most popular candidates to compete with Ye Jianhao for the position of the chief treasurer in Qianjiang City, according to Ye Xunhe's words, as long as Ye Jianhao loses the election, then there is a chance that this person will be on top.
Thinking of his nephew Kurihara's performance in the past, everyone vaguely had an answer in their hearts.
With a slight smile, Rong Triumph said: "It turned out to be the chestnut shopkeeper, and I have really admired it for a long time." ”
Li Dehuan said proudly: "Young Master Rong is polite, this seat knows that you are good friends with Ye Jianhao, but it is a matter of the iron law of this hall, and no one can disobey it, so this seat advises you to retreat with your whole body." ”
Rong Kaixuan smiled coldly, turned his head, and said, "Big shopkeeper, the juniors have something to inquire about, I don't know if you can solve the doubts for the juniors." ”
Li Mao nodded slowly and said, "You say." ”
If it is an ordinary congenital powerhouse, it may not be so kind to a junior. But Li Mao is different, his other identity is destined to make his character impossible to be too strong.
Rong Kaixuan raised his eyebrows and said, "The junior wants to ask, how did Guitang learn the news of Brother Ye's loss of treasures." ”
Li Mao pondered for a moment and said, "This news was provided by Li Dehuan's shopkeeper. ”
Rong Kaixuan hahadaxiao snorted a few times, he turned around abruptly, and shouted: "Shopkeeper Li, where did your news come from?" ”
Li Dehuan snorted angrily and said, "Who is the erector, why did the old man answer your words." ”
Rong Kaixuan sneered: "Everything can be said to people, did your Excellency do something weak-hearted, so you don't dare to say it?"
"Hmph. Li Dehuan snorted angrily and said, "If the old man has something to do, even if he tells you, why not." He paused and said, "When the old man used to meditate, someone suddenly released an arrow and informed the old man of the matter, so the old man went to the big shopkeeper. ”
Li Mao nodded slowly and said, "Yes, the old man sent Wang Pengyi that day, originally just to find out the truth, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
