Chapter 684
Just one day later, Lang Youcai once again brought two roselle flowers to the door of the blacksmith shop.
Because Xiao Zhan had absorbed the energy of the one hundred and eighty crystals again.
But Xiao Zhan still didn't feel the opportunity to break through.
As soon as Lang Youcai knocked on the door, Xiaosi opened the door a crack. Seeing that it was Lang Youcai, he immediately laughed:
"Brother Werewolf, you're here again."
"Why, aren't you welcome?" Lang Youcai put his hands behind his back and said coldly:
"This time there are still two Roselle flowers. The price has increased. One hundred Sky Crystals will be exchanged for one Roselle flower."
Hearing this, Xiao Si suddenly looked embarrassed. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the figures at the entrance of the alley.
Xiaosi's face turned aside, he quickly opened the door and urged Lang Youcai:
"come on in!"
Lang Youcai was stunned for a moment, and then he was pulled into the room by Xiaosi.
With a "bang", Xiaosi closed the door and bolted it. Then he led Lang Youcai to the next room, pointed at the tunnel entrance, and lowered his voice and said: "Hide!"
Lang Youcai was just about to ask what happened when he heard someone kicking in the door outside.
Xiao Si didn't care about Lang Youcai anymore, jumped directly from the tunnel entrance and rushed into the secret room below.
At this time, outside the door of the blacksmith shop, a middle-aged man was leading five burly men who were also wearing silver armor and carrying broadswords on their waists.
The middle-aged man has dark skin and a beard on his face. If you look closely, you will find that his skin is also covered with a layer of extremely fine gray-brown snake scales.
"Open the door!"
The middle-aged man shouted in a deep voice.
At this time, the middle-aged shopkeeper came out of the tunnel with Xiao Si. He just glanced at Lang Youcai and walked directly to the door. When he opened the door and saw the people outside, he lowered his voice and asked:
"What happened? Why did you bring people from the City Lord's Mansion to my place?!"
The middle-aged man outside the door frowned:
"The city lord ordered that all the shopkeepers in the dark market rush to the city lord's mansion immediately."
"Hurry up."
The middle-aged shopkeeper stared:
"She Ping, did you sell me out?!"
She Ping shook his head, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes: "Ruan Gui, I also have the blood of the White Snake clan. I will not sell you, not to mention you give me so many dividends every month."
"But it won't work this time. A big shot from the Celestial Clan is here and wants all the Roselle flowers in the dark market."
"Let me remind you, you can hand over as much as you have when the time comes."
"Don't be clever, otherwise no one will be able to save you."
After hearing She Ping's words, Ruan Gui also realized the seriousness of the matter.
He gritted his teeth and asked:
"Pay for it, or hand it over for free?"
She Ping shook his head and said he didn't know.
After saying that, She Ping left directly with the people.
Ruan Gui kicked the door hard, and a big hole was instantly opened in the heavy door.
Lang Youcai didn't know if he was stupid or something, but he was still asking:
"I said, what are you going to do? Are you going to accept the Roselle flowers? Don't waste my time."
I don't know what Ruan Gui was thinking, but suddenly his eyes lit up, he looked at Lang Youcai and said:
"How many rose flowers did you bring out from Black Wind Mountain?"
"There are many!" Lang Youcai replied subconsciously.
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, he quickly covered his mouth.
At this moment, his heels were exposed.
"Don't be nervous," Ruan Gui said with a smile:
"As you just heard, a big shot from the Celestial Clan came to the City Lord's Mansion to collect a large amount of Roselle flowers."
"I have roselle flowers in my hand, and you also have quite a few. We have agreed to raise the price together!".z.br>
Lang Youcai snorted coldly: "I'm not going to the city lord's mansion. I'll keep the rosemary flowers in my hand and sell them slowly."
Ruan Gui shook his head: "If you go together, you can sell the Roselle flowers in your hands at a good price."
"If you don't go, I will tell you that you are hiding the Roselle. When the time comes, the people from the City Lord's Mansion will arrest you. You won't get a single Heaven Crystal, and you might even lose your life!"
Lang Youcai was stunned.
His head, which he thought was very smart, could no longer move in an instant.
"Let's go, don't be stunned," Ruan Gui stepped across the threshold and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
Lang Youcai didn't know what to do for a while.
He wanted to go back and ask Xiao Zhan, but when he thought that that would expose Xiao Zhan, he immediately gave up the idea.
In the end, Lang Youcai foolishly followed to the city lord's mansion.
Inside the city lord's palace.
City Lord Tian Guangyao is sitting in his seat, and Tian Yunshan, the eldest princess of the Tian Clan, is sitting behind a screen nearby. Through the gap in the screen, the scene in the hall can be seen clearly, but the people in the hall can only see her blurryly. figure.
At this time, hundreds of people had gathered in the hall.
The faces of these people were not very good-looking. Some were pale and obviously frightened, and some had frosty faces and unconvinced eyes.
Lang Youcai stood next to Ruan Gui, and everyone around him looked at him curiously.
After all, most of the people in Tianyicheng's dark market knew each other, and I had never heard of anyone from the werewolf clan also doing this business.
Tian Guangyao said expressionlessly:
"I didn't expect that under my nose, a dark market would develop in Tianyicheng, and so many people would be involved."
"You should be glad that I don't have the time to worry about this matter now."
"Mingren don't tell secrets. Now the Celestial Clan is in urgent need of Roselle."
"How many roselle flowers do you have in hand? Deliver them all to the city lord's palace within one day."
"If I know who is still hiding it and hasn't turned it over all, then I will arrest them for hiding."
"I'll just say these two words, you can make your own statement."
Tian Guangyao squinted his eyes and looked at the people in the hall.
A short middle-aged man looked at Tian Guangyao and frowned:
"Lord City Lord, I do have a few Roselle flowers in my hand, but I got them at a high price. I believe the same goes for others."
"It's okay to hand over the Roselle, but you can't let me lose so many Sky Crystals in vain, right?"
Tian Guangyao sneered:
"When you do business, you have not reported it to the city lord's palace. The sky crystals you get are all illegal income."
"Don't force me to let people ransack your home."
After hearing this, everyone did not dare to speak.
But no one said that they were willing to hand over Roselle.
Tian Yunshan, who was sitting behind the screen, glanced through the gaps in the screen and scanned the crowd. The moment he saw Lang Youcai, he frowned slightly.
She spoke slowly:
"I don't have the patience to wait for you to decide."
"I purchased it at the price of ten sky crystals for one Roselle flower."
Everyone looked towards the screen.
They already know that the woman behind the screen is a big shot of the Celestial Clan.
Ruan Gui clasped his fists and said:
"Sir, the price of ten sky crystals...is indeed a huge loss for us."
"I just harvested two Roselle flowers two days ago. Each one was harvested for 200 Heaven Crystals."
"Really?" Tian Yunshan asked lightly.
Everyone else glanced at Ruan Gui, but no one spoke to expose Ruan Gui's words.
Tian Yunshan thought for a moment and then asked:
"Let's first talk about how many roselle flowers you each have in your hands."
Ruan Gui was the first to speak:
"I have thirty roselle flowers in my hand."
Hearing this, everyone else looked at Ruan Gui, not expecting that Ruan Gui would have so much in his hands.
"I have eight plants in my hand."
"I have eleven plants in my hand."
"I only have three plants..."
After everyone reported the number of Roselle flowers, a simple calculation revealed that there were more than 700 flowers.
You know, Tian Yunshan came to this remote Tianyi City from Tianyu, and passed dozens of cities along the way, but he didn't find so many Roselle flowers.
While excited, Tian Yunshan was extremely angry.
She gritted her teeth and said coldly:
"It seems that you have been purchasing Roselle flowers for a long time."
"Knowing that Roselle is something our Heavenly Clan desperately needs, you still dare to do this. You really don't know how to write the word "death". "
Feeling the murderous intent in Tian Yunshan's words, everyone in the hall looked unhappy.
Tian Guangyao frowned.
If Tian Yunshan said he wanted to kill these people, he would have no choice but to comply.
Tian Yunshan exhaled a breath of turbid air and suddenly said:
"That werewolf."
"How many roselles do you have in your hand? You haven't said yet."
Lang Youcai had been in a daze, thinking about how to escape, and didn't hear Tian Yunshan's words at all.
Ruan Gui patted Lang Youcai's shoulder and whispered:
"I'm asking you something."
"Ah?" Lang Youcai said subconsciously, "What are you asking me for?"
Tian Yunshan repeated coldly: "I ask you how many roselle flowers you have in your hand?"
Lang Youcai directly took out two roselle flowers from his arms and said in a trembling voice: "Two plants, I only have two plants. These two plants were originally going to be sold to Boss Ruan Guiruan, but now I won't sell them. I’ll hand it over without even a single Heaven Crystal!”
Hearing this, Tian Yunshan snorted coldly:
"Are you sure these two roselles are your own?"
"Are you sure there are only two?"
"Really, absolutely true!" Lang Youcai's legs became weak and he said quickly:
"I definitely didn't lie!" Lang Youcai was panicked. He always felt that he had heard this woman's voice somewhere recently.
Tian Yunshan ignored Lang Youcai and said:
"I can't give you one day, but within two hours, hand over all the Roselle flowers to the city lord's palace."
"I'll double the price, exchange twenty sky crystals for one Roselle flower."
"In addition," Tian Yunshan's voice became colder: "Whoever dares to buy and sell Roselle flowers privately in the future will be punished with death!"
"But you can sell the Roselle flower you got to the city lord's palace. As usual, it will cost you twenty sky crystals per plant."
Everyone's mood was not very high.
After knowing that Roselle flowers can be sold to the city lord's palace, who would be willing to sell Roselle flowers to them?
"Okay, let's all disperse."
Tian Guangyao waved his hand and said solemnly:
"Remember, it must be sent to the City Lord's Mansion within two hours. No one should take any chances. This is not a joke."
Everyone naturally knew that this was not a joke.
But when they left the city lord's mansion, their faces were still full of reluctance.
Because the price of twenty sky crystals for one Roselle flower can make them lose profits for several years.
Lang Youcai followed Ruan Gui out of the city lord's mansion. He suddenly felt that his legs were weak and he quickly leaned against the wall.
Ruan Gui gave Lang Youcai a cold look, "Trash, I asked you to raise the price, but you gave away all two Roselle flowers."
"How many roselle flowers do you have left in your hand? Give them all to me!"
Lang Youcai was afraid of the people in the city lord's palace, but not Ruan Gui.
He is a noble and smart werewolf!
Seeing that Lang Youcai's legs were no longer weak, he looked at Ruan Gui with wide eyes, spat and cursed:
"The big shots in the Celestial Clan didn't even say that they would give Roselle flowers to them for free. You
More powerful than the big shots of the Celestial Clan? "
"I don't know, I thought you were some kind of super big shot."
Lang Youcai cursed, turned around and left.
He wanted to go back quickly, tell Xiao Zhan everything that happened, and then let Xiao Zhan make a decision.
Ruan Gui looked at Lang Youcai's back coldly, and said to Xiao Si, who had been waiting for him: "Go and mobilize people immediately to snatch all the Roselle flowers from his hand."
"He came from Black Wind Mountain, and he must have a lot of Roselle flowers in his hands."
"Even if I only sell twenty crystals per plant, it's enough for me to make a huge profit."
Xiaosi was a little worried and lowered his voice:
"Shopkeeper, he is a werewolf. If we are against him, if we find out, the werewolves will retaliate against us. They are notoriously unyielding!"
"Are you afraid of a ball?" Ruan Gui glared at Xiao Si, "All the werewolves in Black Wind Mountain have escaped, so the werewolves in other places are so busy that they come to trouble me?"
"Besides, if you take everyone with you and kill this werewolf directly, who can know the truth?"
