Chapter 362 Secret Investigation
‘Who could commit a crime under the eyes of the Wandao Merchant Alliance, one of the three major forces in the Great Jin Dynasty? ’
‘Aren’t you afraid of the Merchant Alliance’s revenge? No joke. ’
‘There seems to be something strange about this incident. ’
‘Also, if something big happened to the merchant alliance, why didn’t Hua Tianxiong report it to me? ’
Qin Ming took in the reminders from Han Yuan and the others and did not dare to be careless.
He raised the wine glass in his hand and thanked the three people:
"Thank you to the three fellow Taoists for reminding me, otherwise Lu would still be in the dark."
"I'd like to toast all three of you."
Han Yuan and the other three also picked up their wine glasses, "You don't have to be polite, Daoist Lu, it's just a trivial matter, but you just need to know about it yourself, and don't tell anyone about it, otherwise we won't be able to bear the blame if the superiors blame us."
"Lu understands that it is natural."
After three drinks.
Qin Ming took out three spiritual elixirs from his arms, placed them in front of the three of them, said with a smile: "This is a little bit of my heart, please accept it."
Liu Ye picked up the elixir, and his pretty face suddenly couldn't help but say with emotion: "Second-grade high-grade Jade Profound Pill!"
Han Yuan and Gao Feng were also shocked when they saw this.
"Friend Lu Dao, how can you make such a precious elixir?"
Qin Ming waved his hand and said: "You three, please don't refuse. Since Lu came to Dajin from the Southern Wilderness, he has been encouraged and cared for by three Taoist friends many times. This time, he is risking being punished by the senior leaders of the Merchant Alliance, so he will be so important." I informed Lu of the news, just to express my gratitude.”
When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other.
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Han Yuan and the other three were also excited. They didn't expect Shopkeeper Lu to be so generous.
You must know that this Yuxuan Pill is one of the rarest elixirs among second-level pills.
Only a very small number of great alchemists can refine it, and it is a miraculous elixir coveted by monks in the foundation-building stage.
Qin Ming didn't take it seriously. These few pills were the leftover ones he had eaten, and they would just get dust if they were thrown into the storage bag.
It's better to sell Han Yuan and the other two people a favor.
Maybe these three people will come in handy in the future.
"The situation is urgent, so Lu will not stay any longer."
"I have to go back to the store and tell the caravans below to pay more attention." Qin Ming stood up and said goodbye.
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Lu, if there are no particularly important supplies to be delivered recently, don't ship them yet."
"It's not worth it to avoid losing both people and goods!"
After Qin Ming left.
Han Yuan and the three people in the restaurant looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh:
"We must keep this friendship in mind from fellow Daoist Lu."
…
After Qin Ming came out of Yufeng Tower, he purchased some needed spiritual materials in Fang City and did not return to Lingtian.
Instead, he flew non-stop to Lingxufang City.
After he entered Jingxue Pavilion, he immediately summoned Jia Heyi.
Jia Heyi was also a little surprised. This usually hands-off shopkeeper never came to the store.
What kind of wind brought him here today?
However, he was puzzled, so Jia Heyi still greeted him respectfully: "Hey! Shopkeeper Lu, you have come to inspect the store."
"The store has a new batch of snow soul tea from Nanhuang Wangyue Island. I will give it to you to try. According to the pavilion master, it is still the top-notch spiritual tea grown by Master Wangyue himself. It is rare to find but not to ask for."
After Jia Heyi said that, he took out a bag of tea leaves in his hand and skillfully brewed the spiritual tea for Qin Ming.
Ever since Shopkeeper Lu took over the Jingxue Pavilion branch in Dajin, he not only owned 200 acres of fourth-level branch spiritual fields, but also enjoyed a bumper harvest and doubled profits. He was also invited to join the Wandao Merchant Alliance.
In the past, Jia Heyi would never have dared to think about this.
And some time ago, when Jia Heyi went back to Nanhuang to report on his work, Pavilion Master Gu praised him very much.
However, Lao Jia also knew that he was a blessing to Shopkeeper Duotuo Lu.
His current view of Shopkeeper Lu has already undergone earth-shaking changes.
Qin Ming also took the spirit tea and took a sip.
"Shopkeeper Lu, how does it taste?" Jia Heyi asked with expectation on his mature face.
"Well, it's okay." Qin Ming replied lightly.
"Haha, that's it?" Jia Heyi couldn't help but wonder, what does it mean to be okay? Is it possible that Shopkeeper Lu is already so cunning?
The evaluation of this top-quality spiritual tea in his mouth is only 'okay'
But little did Lao Jia know that the Xuepo Tea, which he regarded as a treasure, was grown by Qin Ming himself, and he had become accustomed to drinking it every day.
In Qin Ming's eyes, it is not much different from ordinary spiritual tea.
Qin Ming didn't want to talk to Jia Heyi anymore. Instead, he put down the tea cup in his hand and asked with a serious expression:
"Old Jia, during this time in our business, is there a caravan out transporting goods?"
Seeing how serious he was, Jia Heyi was startled for a moment, and then cautiously replied: "Ah? Report back to Shopkeeper Lu, there are some, what's the matter?"
"Just this morning, my caravan just set off, and it was Elder Yu who led it."
"Oh~ It's still too late. You should quickly notify the caravan to come back. Recently, all caravans have been ordered not to go out." Qin Ming sighed and said.
"Yes! I'll do it right away!"
Hearing this, Jia Heyi also realized that something was not right about the situation, and without asking any more questions about the reason, he immediately went to carry out Qin Ming's instructions vigorously and resolutely.
Subsequently.
Qin Ming contacted Hua Tianxiong again through the black talisman.
"Hua Tianxiong, what's wrong with you?"
"Such a big thing happened in the business alliance, why didn't you report the situation to me?"
"Ah? Master, you already know this?" Hua Tianxiong said in surprise when he heard the voice in his head.
"You really have great powers. I was just about to tell the master about this."
"Oh! Don't mention it. During this time, I was summoned by Elder Qian to do something for him. I just came out of Lihuo Palace."
"There is another important thing that I want to tell you. People from the Yin Demon Sect seem to be secretly investigating me."
"After all, that day, when Na Tian Lao Mo died, he was running after me, so he was the most suspicious."
When Hua Tianxiong said this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared and guilty.
After all, being targeted by the Yin Demon Sect was not a good thing, and he couldn't afford it.
Hua Tianxiong feels regretful every time he thinks of the scene that day at the Wufu auction when he challenged the Yin Mo Sect with fear of death.
"Didn't you say that they can't catch anything against you? Why are they still staring at you?" Qin Ming asked doubtfully.
Hua Tianxiong smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that the Yin Demon Sect has killed four Jindan elders in a row in recent years. Although they are only middle-ranking, they have also attracted great attention within the sect."
"After all, the Yin Demon Sect is the main demon sect of the Dali Dynasty, so naturally it will not give up easily on this matter."
"I heard that the other three demonic golden elixirs died in the hands of Master Wangyue in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World. They have nothing to do with me."
"I heard that Master Wangyue disappeared out of thin air in the Southern Wilderness and that the Yin Demon Sect could not find anyone. Wouldn't you put this debt on me as well? Master."
Qin Ming couldn't help curling his lips when he heard this, and said: "No, because I also killed those three Yin Demon Sect Golden Pills."
"Ah?!" Hua Tianxiong collapsed instantly after hearing this.
"You are Mochizuki!"
At the same time, Qin Ming didn't care about his reaction. Anyway, the other person's life and death only depended on his own thoughts.
"You can secretly find out for me who is responsible for plundering the caravan recently. The sooner the better."
"People from the Yin Demon Sect probably won't do anything to you."
"If I want to touch you, I have to consider the Lihuo Palace behind you. It might even intensify the conflict between the two major forces, so don't worry."
"Yes, yes! I obey the master's instructions." Hua Tianxiong responded quickly. He did not expect that Qin Ming's true identity had such a huge background.
"Then Master, tell me, could it be someone from the Yin Mo Sect who robbed the caravan?"
"After all, only their demonic monks act so unscrupulously."
"Well, it's not necessarily true. If it was someone from the Yin Demon Sect who did it, Elder Jin Han would have probably investigated it long ago." Qin Ming pondered for a moment and replied lightly.
Hua Tianxiong was immediately confused, "Which force could it be? It dared to make trouble on the head of the Ten Thousand Dao Merchant Alliance. It's very courageous. It seems that it has no scruples."
"Please give me some time. I will send someone to investigate immediately and report to you, the master."
