"City Lord, calm down, that's not what happened." Seeing the City Lord's anger, the guard captain Wen Yang quickly knelt on the ground, terrified.
He knew that as a guard captain, he might be far inferior to Feilong Trading Company's status in the heart of the city lord. If I can't explain things clearly this time, I'm afraid I won't get the credit, but will suffer the consequences.
"You!" Ba said coldly.
Elder Xiao stood aside and watched all this calmly. He did lie, but he was not worried at all. Because no matter what he does, he will never admit it.
As long as he insists that he has not seen Cheng Yu and the others, even Ba can't do anything to them! Because he knew very well that Ba would not break up with Feilong Trading Company at this time.
"We all saw those people getting on the boat with our own eyes. Moreover, Elder Qing previously blocked us from getting on the boat. He himself admitted that those people got on the boat because something was left on the boat.
But now, he has no one on board. He is clearly deceiving the city lord. If the city lord doesn’t believe it, he can ask others! "Wen Yang opened his mouth to defend himself.
This guy surnamed Xiao is so out of character, he dares to slander himself. If the city lord hadn't been here before, he really wouldn't have dared to do anything to the man named Xiao.
But now that the city lord has arrived, he has confidence. After all, with the city lord here, the man named Xiao didn't dare to do anything to him.
What's more, he didn't believe that these people could really disappear out of thin air, so he believed that their search would be fruitful this time.
"City Lord, we did see a group of people boarding the boat, and there were actually a few women." The remaining guards around Wen Yang also confirmed.
"City Lord, you know the rules of our Feilong Trading Company. Anyone who wants to board the ship must pay ten high-grade spiritual stones. That's why I don't allow them to board the ship. Is this correct?" Elder Xiao glanced at Wen Yang. , and then faced the overbearing.
Ba Yin had a sullen face, but still nodded, because he did know this rule of Feilong Trading Company, and many people in Haicheng knew this rule of Feilong Trading Company, so he had no way to deny it.
"Second, some people did get off the ship and then boarded it again, but these people were all crew members of our Feilong Trading Company. As you know, it took us more than two months to get from Taize City to Haicheng.
Our crew members need supplies every time they go back and forth, so these people get off the ship to purchase supplies. However, after they get off the ship, they find that they have forgotten something, so they turn back and board the ship.
And what kind of woman this brother mentioned just now is even more nonsense. There are no women among our crew members. If you don’t believe me, the city lord can check them one by one! "Elder Xiao said confidently.
Ba Jiang glanced at all the crew members present, and indeed found no female crew members, and his expression became even more gloomy.
"City Lord, he is obviously lying. We really saw the people in this portrait get on the ship! If those people are the crew members on the ship, how could I not recognize them?" Wen Yang heard that the man named Xiao actually said Those people who were their members disembarked from the ship to purchase supplies, and they were even more furious. This guy was simply lying with his eyes open.
Although his cultivation level is not as high as that of Xiao, he is not blind yet. How could he see the wrong person at such a distance? The costumes worn by these crew members were so obvious, would he not be able to recognize them?
"City Lord, this matter is related to the reputation of our Feilong Trading Company. How could I lie? If you don't believe me, the City Lord can ask the crew on the ship if I lied!" Elder Xiao said to the boss.
"City Lord, these two crew members guarding the ship watched these people get on the ship with their own eyes. City Lord can ask them and see through Elder Xiao's lies!" Wen Yang pointed at the two crew members beside Elder Xiao eagerly. road.
"Those people you saw before?" Ba looked at the two crew members and asked.
"Yes!" The two nodded nervously.
"Then do you still recognize the people who got on the boat? Are there any women among them?" Ba stared at them closely and asked.
"Recognize, those people are the crew members of our ship, and there are no women among them!" One of the crew members said although he was a little nervous.
"you are lying!"
"Shut up!" Ba shouted.
"City Lord!"
"No more, aren't you sending people to investigate on the ship now? Wait until the search is over!" Ba said coldly with a straight face.
In fact, he believed what Wen Yang said, but naturally he didn't believe what Elder Xiao said. However, these are meaningless now.
If these people were really on the ship and they were found, Elder Xiao's lie would be immediately exposed. If you can't find it, it won't be of any use even if you try it.
Now that Elder Xiao and the others have made it clear that they refuse to admit it, and they haven't found anyone, what's the point of continuing to fight?
Rather than doing this, it would be better to wait for them to find the person.
This treasure ship may not be big, but it's not big either. It took these people half an hour to search the entire ship.
However, what made Ba and Wenyang look ugly was that they did not find those people!
"Are you sure everything on the ship has been checked?" Ba asked, looking at everyone.
"Back to the city lord, we did search every place we could find on the entire ship, and we really didn't find anyone else!" The guard was really frightened when he saw that even the city lord was here, and he knelt down tremblingly. Local road.
How could Ba feel better after receiving such an answer? But he didn't want to get angry in front of Feilong Trading Company.
"Elder Xiao, it seems that this matter is indeed a misunderstanding. I hope Elder Xiao will not take offense. Tomorrow, the city lord will place a table of fine wine and delicacies at the city lord's mansion to apologize to Elder Xiao. This can also be regarded as clearing Feilong Trading Company's innocence!" He smiled at Elder Xiao.
"The city lord is too polite. Since it is a misunderstanding, how can I blame the city lord? This is all because of the poor performance of the people below. As for apology, there is no need. Thank you city lord for your kindness!" Elder Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile.
"In that case, I, the city lord, will leave first. Let's go!" Ba smiled, nodded and left with Wen Yang.
"You all go back to work!" Elder Xiao looked at Ba's back and sneered, saying to all the crew members.
All the crew members nodded, dispersed, and returned to their posts.
As for Ba and the others, they all went back with gloomy expressions.
"City Lord, that old guy named Xiao is indeed lying. I can guarantee with my own head that we did see the people in these portraits get on the boat!" Wen Yang said.
"I believe you!" Ba said coldly.
"What about the city lord?" Wen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the city lord would punish him for this matter.
