Long Shengna looked extremely surprised when she saw Jingfeng take out five boxes of silver from the storage bag and put them on the table with a clang.
"Where...where did you get so much silver?"
"Your father gave it to you." Jingfeng said calmly, but he actually snatched it from Ji Bin.
"He gave you so much?"
Long Shengna still didn't believe it.
"Yes, the reward for saving you was five thousand taels in total."
Jingfeng was too lazy to explain so much and said casually: "Do you want to count?"
The way Long Shengna looked at Jingfeng was wrong. She shook her head and silently took the silver.
"Where are these storage bags? Have you calculated the money? They are all collected by your Chamber of Commerce."
"This storage bag has an internal space of three feet in diameter, but it's not too new. It counts as five thousand taels. The other two have an interior of one foot in diameter, which counts as one thousand five hundred taels."
Long Shengna picked up Ji Bin's storage bag and said. There was a small word "ji" embroidered on the seal. Jingfeng didn't expect that there was actually three feet of space in this bag. As expected, the head of the Ji family could afford it. of.
The other two storage bags, one belonging to guard Chen Wei and the other belonging to a senior member of the Ji family, are both worth one thousand five hundred taels.
"This one is of poor quality and has been through several hands. It's only worth eight hundred taels."
Long Shengna picked up the last storage bag and said that it only belonged to Song Jing, and from what Long Shengna said, she didn't know where he got it.
"Check that one for me, too." Jingfeng pointed to Meng Bei's storage bag on the table.
Long Shengna picked up the magic weapon, poured some Qi into it, and said casually: "The space inside is one foot, which is equivalent to one thousand five hundred taels. Oh, there are quite a lot of good things inside."
She glanced twice and joked casually: "Hey, Jingfeng, you can actually read, and there are so many books?"
"That's, I..." Jingfeng suddenly felt something was wrong, jumped up from the chair and grabbed the storage bag from Long Shengna's hand.
"Jingfeng, what are you doing? I didn't expect you to be so stingy!"
Long Shengna said angrily.
Jingfeng thought Long Shengna was inexplicably cute when she was angry, but he still laughed and said: "This book is a heresy about cultivation, you can't read it."
"It's not like I haven't learned the exercises before, huh, you're a cheapskate!"
"I'm doing this for your own good!" Jingfeng said without blushing or heartbeat.
"Tch, it would be great if you don't get angry with me anytime. It's good for me."
Long Shengna muttered a few words, but asked without pursuing further: "Then, you want to sell all these storage bags?"
Jingfeng thought for a moment and said, "I will use the one with three feet of space for myself, and I will give you the rest."
"good."
With that said, Long Shengna threw Ji Bin's bag to Jingfeng. Jingfeng injected his energy into it and transferred all the things originally placed in Meng Bei's storage bag to the new storage bag, and then put it in the new storage bag. The unused storage bag was handed to Long Shengna.
"Five thousand taels of silver, four first-grade storage bags, five thousand three hundred taels, a total of ten thousand three hundred taels, is that okay?"
"No."
Long Shengna nodded, collected the money and two magic weapons, glared at Jingfeng angrily, and walked out of the room.
"Hey, there are still three hundred taels left, why don't you give it to me?" Jingfeng caught up and asked.
"You have paid all your things to the Chamber of Commerce. Don't you want to charge me for being the middleman? These will be used as handling fees for me!"
Jingfeng rolled his eyes at her helplessly and muttered: "Why is the handling fee so expensive? They are clearly trying to trick me."
Fortunately, Long Shengna didn't hear it, and Jingfeng only talked about it and didn't care in his heart.
After the separation, Jingfeng went outside to find a tavern to have a good meal, and did not return to the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce until very late.
The guards and waiters of the Chamber of Commerce all knew Jingfeng, but when he entered, a young man with his face covered in bandages glared at Jingfeng.
"Hey, who is this? Why is it so injured?"
Jingfeng pretended to be surprised.
The young man Jingfeng recognized him as Bi Hao. He was severely beaten by Chen Zhi from the Beast Taming Sect because his mouth was too short. However, his strength was too far behind him, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow them.
Since his mouth was also wrapped with a bandage, Bi Hao could only stare at Jingfeng, shaking with anger.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Bi. It's just me who is blind. Please don't argue with me."
Bi Hao pointed at Jing Feng and screamed twice. When the guards behind him saw that it was Jing Feng, they were a little afraid to step forward.
At this time, a man wearing a green and black robe came over, but the right sleeve was empty and dangling feebly. The man who came was none other than Bi Hao's father, Bi Heng.
"Bi Hao!"
Bi Heng's voice was as dull as thunder, and he stopped Bi Hao. He walked towards the door of the hall, glared at Jingfeng, and said coldly: "Boy, please restrain yourself here, don't think about stirring up trouble!"
Jingfeng sneered again and again: "Master Bi really misunderstood me. I just greeted Mr. Bi, how can I call it provoking trouble?"
"Hmph, don't think that with Long Yecheng protecting you, our Bi family won't dare to touch you."
"It's not that I'm not afraid of your Bi family because Uncle Long is protecting me, but I'm not afraid of your Bi family."
Jingfeng said with a look of disdain: "Unlike some people, I don't fight back when someone hits me. I just cry for my father and look for my mother."
"you!"
Bi Hao suddenly whined anxiously, and Bi Heng was even more angry and turned livid. However, the power of the Long family has greatly increased. He, the Bi family, is alone and unable to resist. Otherwise, he would not have thought of going to the city lord's palace to ask for help from the Li family. .
When my Bi family swallows up the Long family and dominates the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce in the future, I will be the first to attack you, Jingfeng.
Bi Heng looked at Jingfeng coldly, clenched his fists, and thought bitterly in his heart, but there is really nothing he can do against Jingfeng at the moment.
As the saying goes, if people respect me a foot, I will respect others a foot; if someone takes a drop from me, I will destroy them with a fight. Jingfeng clearly remembers those who are good to him, and he will never show mercy to those who are hostile to himself and those around him.
After mocking Hao, Jingfeng left in a good mood and went directly to the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce to find Long Yecheng.
When the maid at the door saw Jingfeng, she gently knocked on the door of the private room and brought Jingfeng in.
When Long Yecheng saw that it was Jingfeng, he immediately put down his affairs and stood up to greet him.
"Uncle Long." Jingfeng still had the etiquette that he should have, and he bowed his hands in an unambiguous salute.
Long Yecheng waved the maid away and asked, "What happened in the backyard this morning?"
Jingfeng did not hide anything, and told Long Yecheng the cause and effect of the incident, but did not mention that he looked like a madman.
When Long Yecheng heard that it was Elder Meng who was inciting the trouble, his face turned cold: "His disciple Meng Bei has evil intentions and wanted to harm you. Now that he sees that you have something from the Beast Control Sect in your hand, he guesses that Meng Bei has been killed, so he naturally wants to arrest you." Take advantage of this and put you in a disadvantageous position."
"I'm afraid he just wants to test me."
"Yes, I have dealt with people from the Beast Taming Sect, and most of them are the same. They don't dare to do anything to you in Beikai City, but no one can guarantee whether he will continue to cause trouble for you outside the city."
Jingfeng nodded, feeling that what Long Yecheng said made sense. It seemed that he had to make sufficient preparations in advance to improve his strength as soon as possible.
"Uncle, I want to go see the snitch."
"Now? You wait until I finish the things in my hands and go together."
"good."
An hour later, Long Yecheng took Jingfeng to a secret cave in the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce. After entering, there was a cave underneath, just like a prison.
There were guards with good cultivation standing guard here. When they saw Long Ye Cheng coming, they quickly stepped forward to lead the way.
"President Long, are you going to see the snitch?"
"Exactly, you lead the way."
The guard nodded in agreement, holding a torch and leading Jing Feng and Long Yecheng towards the depths of the dungeon.
There were all kinds of people imprisoned in the prisons on both sides. Most of them were bruised and tortured, which made Jingfeng feel very uncomfortable.
"Uncle, who are these people?"
"Here are people who have always been unfavorable to our Chamber of Commerce, and there are also some high-level family members who have made mistakes. Although abuse of lynching is against the law, for the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce to become so big, it requires some extraordinary means."
Seeing Jingfeng frowning, Long Yecheng explained patiently, but Jingfeng could also understand that sometimes to become famous, the methods do need to be more radical.
Soon, several people came to a secret room in the deepest part, which was covered with chains as thick as a person's arm. There were two guards at the top of Tongliu Realm guarding the door.
"President Long!" The two guards met Long Yecheng and saluted at the same time.
"No need, just open the secret room."
"yes!"
After that, the guards untied the chains and pressed the mechanism on the wall. Then they each opened a door, and a smell of mold and rust instantly hit their nostrils.
Jingfeng felt the smell was extremely unpleasant and quickly covered his nose, but Long Yecheng seemed to be used to it. The two of them looked inside together and saw a man with scars all over his body and an ugly face tied to the wall with iron ropes. The occasional rise and fall of his chest meant that he was dying.
Jingfeng got closer and confirmed that the man was the snitch he had seen the night before, but many wounds on his body had festered with pus, and he looked extremely disgusting.
Long Yecheng also noticed this and asked the guards around him: "He is so seriously injured, didn't you give him medicine?"
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said: "Back to the president, we have used a lot of high-quality healing drugs, but his body shows no signs of improvement at all."
"How is it possible?" Long Yecheng was a little skeptical.
Another guard also said: "There's another thing that's strange. We've been feeding him food these past few days, but he doesn't eliminate dirt at all."
Long Yecheng frowned, seeming to be thinking about something. At this time, Jingfeng suddenly asked: "This snitch has a bell-shaped magic weapon on his body. Have you seen it? It's about the size of a palm."
Both guards shook their heads and said they had never seen it before.
"I've seen that magic weapon before. It seems to be able to capture people's hearts and control people's minds instantly." Long Yecheng said. He was also present that day and saw with his own eyes that the snitch used the magic weapon to frighten several masters of the Tongliu realm. Kill the one closest to him.
"Uncle, you brought me back later. Have you checked him?"
"I also checked, but I didn't find the bell at that time."
Jingfeng felt very strange in his heart. When he was chasing the snitch that night, he fought with him and witnessed him using the bell.
At this time, the snitch who was chained to the wall suddenly opened his eyes slightly, stared at Jingfeng with cold eyes, and actually grinned.
