Chapter 281 The Imperial Master's Romantic Debt
"I said, I don't believe in legends, nor do I believe in fate. I believe in facts, facts in front of me. I want to know why someone would carve a stone dragon out of marble, sink it into the water, and then disturb your minds!" Xiao Yue turned around, looked at everyone, and said.
"We all live by this river. If someone quietly transported stones into the water, we would definitely know!"
"Our Yunzhou City does not produce marble, but only granite. This marble is not from our Yunzhou at all, so how was it transported here? Any ships that have been in and out recently need to be investigated!"
"The stone dragon is covered with moss, which shows that it has been under the water for many years. Now it suddenly comes out, there must be some sign." "
Sign? What do you think it is?" Hongmei turned around and looked at the people who were talking and asked.
She was behind the crowd, and the people were whispering, but Hongmei heard it clearly.
"No, it wasn't me who said it, it was them, everyone said it!" The people were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they retreated to the back.
As for Dongju, she had a baby face, and she usually mingled with the people, and when she expressed her emotions, the people would listen to her.
As Xiaoyue said, Hongmei had a fierce aura, like a killing god, which made people dare not be too presumptuous in front of her.
"Why, you don't dare to agree?" Xiaoyue asked Wanyu.
"It's not that I don't dare to agree, I just thought that the stone dragon came out of the water at Wanjia Wharf before, which was easier to say, at least it was our family. Now, it has wandered to Qianjia Wharf, and the princess asked me to investigate Qianjia, which is a very difficult thing." Wanyu said.
"I can give you manpower, even myself, you can use as you please!" Xiao Yue said.
"Your Highness!" Wan Yu was stunned, then he immediately clasped his fists and bowed: "I will do my best to find out the truth about this stone dragon emerging from the water!"
"What truth is there!" On one side, a man with a majestic aura strode over, walked in front of Miss Qian, raised his hand and slapped her.
"Pa!"
The slap was particularly loud, and everyone was startled.
"Ah, brother, you..." Miss Qian looked at her brother, stunned, and her eyes widened instantly.
"You are such a disgrace, why don't you hurry back home? I will arrange a marriage for you in a few days!" The man said, then turned around and ordered his men, "What are you still standing there for? Send the young lady back."
"Brother, I don't want to be engaged. I won't get married. I have sworn that I will never marry again in my life!" Miss Qian shouted.
"Take her away!" Qian Shitang scolded.
"No, don't!" Miss Qian turned her head and looked at Ci Xin: "Are you just going to watch me like this? Are you so vicious that you won't save me?"
"Why should I save her?" Baby Ruoxi couldn't help complaining. She looked at Ci Xin and sighed a little: "Hey, male vixens are also very hurtful!"
"Xi'er!" Ci Xin said a little aggrievedly: "I will cover my face with a veil when I go out in the future, okay?"
"Yes!" Baby Ruoxi nodded, causing Ci Xin to roll her eyes. Miss
Qian was dragged away. Qian Shitang looked at Ci Xin, gritted his teeth, and said: "Master, my little sister is a little bit mentally ill, please don't be offended!"
"My little sister is still quite kind, and I still hope you treat her well!" Ci Xin said.
"Tsk!" Xiao Yue raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, speechless about this guy.
Sure enough, Qian Shitang's face darkened. He turned to look at Wan Yu and said coldly, "Wan Yu, I heard that you want to investigate the matter of the stone dragon emerging from the water? The stone dragon appeared at your Wanjia Wharf, but the sacrifice was also held at my Qianjia Wharf. Don't you think that this matter is not right?" "
So, if the matter can be investigated clearly, His Majesty the Emperor will be relieved, the princess will be relieved, and our Yunzhou City will also be relieved?" Wan Yu said.
"It is my intention to thoroughly investigate the situation of the stone dragon emerging from the water. I am afraid that someone will do it on purpose to deal with my Great Wei!" Xiao Yue said.
"Your Highness, the water in our Yunzhou City is divided into three parts. One part in the east belongs to the Wan family, one part in the middle belongs to my Qian family, and a small part belongs to the Zhao family. Originally, this stone dragon was at the Wan family's wharf, but it was dragged to my Qian family's wharf. Moreover, you are now asking the people of the Wan family to investigate my Qian family's affairs. Isn't it inappropriate?" Qian Shitang turned around and looked down at Xiaoyue and said.
Xiaoyue is actually not short, but in front of the tall Qian Shitang, she looks particularly small.
"This whole world is the land of the Great Wei Kingdom. I ordered someone to investigate something. Do I need Boss Qian to make decisions?" Xiaoyue said coldly.
"I'm talking about the Wan and Qian families, Princess, please don't change the subject! The docks of my Qian family have been weakened and divided again and again, and the two large docks are controlled by the government. If this continues, Yunzhou City will probably change!" Qian Shitang said. "
I'll say it again, Wan Yu, you were assigned by me to investigate the matter of the stone dragon emerging from the water. Could it be that Boss Qian has some secrets at the dock that others can't get close to?" Xiao Yue said. "
Humph, I, Qian, do things openly and honestly. There is no secret that can't be seen by others. It just affects the income of my Qian family!" Qian Shitang said.
"Well, I'll give you two choices, Boss Qian!" Xiao Yue said, stretching out her hand and raising a finger: "First, I'll arrange for Wan Yu to investigate the matter of the stone dragon coming out of the water. After the investigation, I will compensate for the losses caused to the dock. Second, I'll personally take people to investigate!"
Xiao Yue looked at Qian Shitang with a cold expression and an obvious warning.
All around, the onlookers pursed their lips, fearing that they would speak up and be retaliated against.
There are three forces in Yunzhou City, and the three families have different personalities.
Boss Wan is peaceful and gentle, but he is vicious in his bones.
The Zhao family is weaker, so no matter what they do, they are more low-key.
The Qian family is arrogant and domineering, especially the eldest son Qian Shitang, who is in charge of the family. He has a bad temper. He is the King Qian Yan, cruel and eccentric.
However, how can such a person threaten Xiaoyue?
Qian Shitang stared at Xiaoyue, and his eyes were fierce.
Ci Xin held Xiao Xier in his arms, and he patted Xiao Xier gently and asked, "Xier, can you see anything?"
"You can see it too, why are you asking me?" After Baby Ruoxi gave up on this guy, she was still willing to share her mother's worries: "The stone dragon emerging from the water is probably not very related to the Qian family. The stone dragon emerged from the Wanjia Wharf, and the dragon head was just facing the Qian family wharf. Therefore, sacrifices were all held at the Qian family wharf, because sacrifices require children. Therefore, there were children thrown under the Qian family wharf, and no boats were willing to go there. It has to be said that someone is deliberately targeting the Qian family!"
