Ye Jiuyou held Di Yin's hand tightly and said, "Let's go and find them."
The group of people crossed the street and came to a remote stone bridge.
Beside the bridge, a cluster of flames was burning. Judging from the shape, it should be a corpse.
When Ye Jiajun saw Ye Jiuyou coming, eight people quickly came to her. When they were about to kneel down on one knee, Ye Jiuyou stopped them, "Don't kneel down, come with me."
She led a few people away, and then lowered her voice and said, "Did you know that there is a red stone in the body of the evil demon?"
Ye Jiajun nodded, "I know, but after the fire, the stone turned into a black mass, so we didn't care."
Ye Jiuyou frowned slightly, "Those stones are the key to controlling the evil people."
"When the flames burn out, go down and pick out the stones."
Several people stood in the shade of the trees, watching the flames burning beside the stone bridge.
When the flames gradually extinguished, a member of the Ye Family Army was ready to go over and pick out the burnt stones.
At this moment, a figure hurriedly crossed the stone bridge, reached out to scoop up the ashes, and then ran away.
"Stop him!" Ye Jiuyou said coldly immediately.
The three water shadows rushed out with Ye Jiajun, and after a short chase, they caught the man.
He is a little beggar.
Pressing the person in front of Ye Jiuyou, the little beggar lay on the ground trembling, "Spare your life! My dear, spare your life!"
Mizukage took out the stone from the little beggar's arms, "Master, what he just took is the stone we are looking for."
The little beggar quietly raised his eyes and saw a face with a beautiful face.
This girl is too beautiful...
He was a little crazy for a moment.
Di Yin's dark eyes stared coldly at this bold little beggar.
The little beggar felt cold all over, his head lowered involuntarily, and he kowtowed on the ground.
Ye Jiuyou gently wiped the burnt stone with a handkerchief. After wiping hard, he could see the blood-red color under the black ash.
Rich red, like rich blood.
Ye Jiuyou lowered his eyes and looked at the little beggar, "Why did you pick up this stone? It's not a steamed bun."
The little beggar said with a trembling voice: "It's not a steamed bun, but, but it can be eaten as a steamed bun..."
"Change? Who will change the steamed buns for you?" Ye Jiuyou's voice was slightly cold, with a cold light shining in his eyes.
The little beggar's shoulders were shaking, and he was actually crying out of fear, "It's the jade shop at the end of the bridge. The shopkeeper said that one stone can be exchanged for ten steamed buns. Many beggars are fighting for these stones..."
Ye Jiuyou looked indifferently towards the other side of the river, and saw the jade shop's sign from all the way.
She asked, "You mean, all the beggars are collecting these stones?"
"Yes, those are ten steamed buns..." The little beggar nodded repeatedly.
Ye Jiuyou threw the stone to the little beggar, "Take it and exchange it for steamed buns."
The little beggar looked at the black stone and quickly held it in his hand, "Thank you, noble man! Thank you, noble man!"
He stood up, turned around and ran onto the stone bridge.
Ye Jiuyou ordered in a cold voice, "Follow him and surround the jade shop."
The little beggar walked into the jade shop, but no one stopped him.
If it were before, beggars would never be able to enter a jade shop because they couldn't afford jade at all!
Ye Jiuyou stood at the door of the shop and watched when he saw the little beggar hand the stone to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper immediately called the waiter and gave him ten steamed buns.
The little beggar ran out of the shop quickly with ten steamed buns in his arms.
Ye Jiuyou slowly walked into the jade shop at this time.
The shopkeeper saw that she was dressed luxuriously, and then looked at Di Yin next to her, who looked even more extraordinary.
He quickly put on a smile and said flatteringly: "Two distinguished guests, what kind of jade do you like? I will recommend it to you."
Ye Jiuyou sat down at the tea table where guests were waiting and said casually: "Come here, arrest him."
After the words fell, Yue Luo and Xing Chen rushed in, directly pressing the shopkeeper's hands behind him and making him kneel on the ground.
Zhuiyun closed the door, blocking the sight of passers-by outside.
The shopkeeper didn't understand what was going on and raised his voice: "What do you mean? I'm just a businessman! Are you trying to rob!?"
Ye Jiuyou showed his token and said with a coldness in his slow tone, "My Highness is here to arrest you personally. You know why."
When the shopkeeper saw the golden dragon-patterned token, he was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.
"The common people don't know that Your Highness is here! The common people are here to greet Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" He knocked his head to the ground, trembling all over.
"Who did you give those stones to?" Ye Jiuyou played with the token in his hand, his slightly drooped phoenix eyes seemed to be covered with frost.
The shopkeeper's head was sweating, his lips were trembling, and he was thinking quickly about how to defend himself.
Ye Jiuyou looked cold as he kicked the shopkeeper on the shoulder, "If you can't say it within three seconds, you won't be alive."
The shopkeeper was kicked to the ground by her, and he knelt down again in panic, "Your Highness! Your Highness, please spare your life! The common people know their mistake!"
"Someone came to me to buy these stones! They said these red stones were jade and asked me to help collect them. He would pay a high price to buy them from me!"
Ye Jiuyou asked calmly: "What's the price?"
"Give me one hundred low-grade spiritual stones for one stone!"
It’s really a sky-high price.
Blood Essence Stones are nothing to this shopkeeper, but that person is willing to pay a hundred low-grade spiritual stones to buy one. The shopkeeper will definitely try his best to collect Blood Essence Stones.
"When is the next transaction?" Ye Jiuyou asked the shopkeeper again.
The shopkeeper said with a trembling voice: "Just tonight."
Ye Jiuyou chuckled, "It's better to come early than to come by chance."
"You have a normal transaction with him tonight. If you miss the opportunity, I will kill all nine of your clans."
Her light words made the shopkeeper's heart rise to his throat.
He is a citizen of Xiyan Kingdom, and it would be easy for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to kill his nine tribes.
The shopkeeper kowtowed on the ground, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely not be exposed!"
At this time, Mizukage pushed the door in from the outside. He came to Ye Jiuyou and said, "Master, a guy just ran away from the back door and carried a big box full of red stones."
Ye Jiuyou glanced at the shopkeeper indifferently and said coldly: "What, you want to run away?"
"No, no, no! The common people don't dare! The guy probably thought it was a robbery, so he kept the stones for me..." Sweat dripped from the shopkeeper's head to the ground, "What the common people said is true!"
Ye Jiuyou hummed, "Let's continue business."
She stood up and left the store with Mizukage, going to the back door.
The guy was kneeling on the ground, and the box next to him was full of blood stones.
Ye Jiuyou said to Ye Jiajun: "You should leave here first, so as not to disturb the enemy."
Ye Jiajun is uniformly dressed. If he stays here, he might be too scared to show his face.
