"Swish--" There was a rapid sound of swords being drawn, and the eight sword guards raised the long and sharp swords in their hands and pointed them at the violent elements.
"Don't be impulsive! Brother, don't be impulsive."
Just as the two sides were about to start fighting, a woman wearing the same style of clothing ran out from the crowd. She had a dark red bang on her forehead, which was different from her overall black hair and was very conspicuous. She forcibly grabbed the strong man in front of her.
After a struggle, the strong man was gradually pulled away by his companions, and then the woman in front kept apologizing to the sword guards.
"I'm sorry to have caused trouble to you all. We will compensate you for the broken things on the way according to the price. No, we won't make things difficult for you..." She seemed to want to explain and calm the situation, and her words were a little flustered and anxious.
"And what about me? I'm just hurting people and I don't care about it anymore. If I act like this, who will dare to do business in the Pearl Islands in the future?"
The businessman who had been beaten before ran out again, pointing at the blood on his face and the torn clothes on his body, crying loudly, which made many people around him feel sympathy.
"Indeed, this is a bit excessive."
"It's so scary." Some little girls were a little scared when they saw the dark red bloodstains stained with dust.
"Come and speak one by one." The sword guards separated the people on both sides and questioned them in a calm voice.
"Okay, let's talk first. We are members from the Tuo Shi Tang of Nanfengzhou..." The woman in black and red clothes spoke.
Loran Hill, who had been listening to the developments from a distance, slowed down his pace after hearing the words "Tuo Shi Tang" and then slowly walked over.
It turned out that a few days ago, the members of the Tuositang bought a large batch of medicines for treating external injuries from this businessman, but they didn't expect to find out today that these medicines were actually defective products and were far from as good as they had said before.
"Why do you say it's a defective product? My medicine is genuine, and I showed you the effect then, didn't you agree?" The businessman immediately objected.
"Besides, I was originally planning to ship them to the dynasty to sell them, but you blocked the market at the port and forced me to sell them all to you, and even forced delivery on the same day. I'm really at a huge loss."
If it is transported to the inland of the dynasty, the profit will indeed be higher. This is common sense known to many businessmen.
"You!" One of them was so angry that his face turned red and hot steam came out of his body. Seeing this scene, the businessman hid behind the patrol sword guards again.
"Speak slowly." One of the sword guards came out from behind and looked coldly at these members of the Tuositang who were disrupting the order.
"This isn't Nanfengzhou. If you act wildly here, Tianhai Pavilion won't forgive you."
In Xihai Prefecture, the Bibo Tianhai Pavilion is the largest force, and is even easier to talk to than the dynasty government. This is because this is the autonomous area of the dynasty and there are not many stationed troops. Repelling sea beasts and maintaining the safety of shipping routes are all done by the Bibo Tianhai Pavilion. These patrolling sword guards are also members of the Tianhai Pavilion's subordinate institutions, and naturally represent the Tianhai Pavilion's authority in this area.
"This merchant said that you blocked him and forced him to buy his goods, so he sold them to you, right?"
"That's true, but he's selling fakes."
"Fake? Do you mean those potions are completely useless?"
"It's useful, but not very useful. It's not worth the price at all."
"Didn't you inspect the goods at that time?"
"I have inspected it, but the ones I inspected at the time were all good. It's just that the ones that came later were completely different from the ones that came before."
"My goods are all good stuff, and they have a good reputation among the chambers of commerce we have cooperated with before. You are slandering my innocence!" The businessman jumped out again. The blood on his face had been wiped clean, and he looked much whiter.
"What do you mean it's completely different from before? Isn't that what you saw then? Now you regret it and say mine is fake. Is that how you do business?"
After that, the two sides quarreled again, each side said their own thing and neither side was willing to give in.
After a while, the patrolling sword guards became obviously impatient and interrupted both sides.
"Since you inspected the goods at the time, you shouldn't have regretted it and hit me afterwards. Furthermore, you even seem to be forcing me to buy. This is simply wrong."
"First, you have to compensate the stall owner for his belongings, then pay for the businessman's medical treatment, and finally pay a fine. This matter is over."
Upon hearing such a verdict, the people from Tuositang immediately became angry, but under the cold blades of several sword guards, they calmed down, stamped their feet unwillingly, and finally had to accept this reality.
After all, one has to bow his head under the eaves. This is Xihai Prefecture, far away in the Endless Sea. If you commit a crime and are wanted, you may not even be able to return to Nanfengzhou.
Several people became depressed. Later, the woman compensated the stall owners and merchants with their money, and then comforted everyone and slowly left.
Loran Hill pulled Ye Ling and followed them to the hotel where they were staying.
The hotel has a Western style, with black exterior walls and vertical windows through which you can see people drinking and dining in the lobby.
"What should I do? I've spent the money but didn't buy anything. I'm going to be scolded by the captain when I get back." A man lay on the table and drank alone.
"You're still worried about being scolded. I'm thinking about whether the injured branch master can be healed. The next Lion-Dragon Battle is about to begin."
"Many brothers in the hall are injured, and there are not many famous doctors in the South. We have consumed a lot of medicines over the years, and many of them have been intercepted by the enemy. We can't buy them at all. Otherwise, they wouldn't send us on a boat to other places to purchase them."
"I hope that Senior Brother Di's group going to Huaxu Continent can buy enough medicine, otherwise many people will die in the fight between lions and dragons in the future."
