Zhang Ran also wanted to see who sold this sea area to them.
Not long after, a young but extremely weak-looking young man was brought up.
At this time, the city lord took out the horsewhip and whipped him.
He cursed angrily: "Tell me! Did you sell our sea area?"
The young man who was whipped by a horsewhip didn't dare to say a word.
This made the city lord even angrier.
He was whipped several times in succession.
"Ah! Ah! Father, please stop hitting me. I'm at my wit's end."
"There's no other way? If there's no other way, you can just sell our sea area privately?"
"Father, the princes are pushing me too hard. I don't have the money to pay back, so I have no choice but to resort to this last resort."
“Bang!”
A big nose bag was thrown on the young man's face.
"I just paid back so much for you, how much do you owe now?"
"Father, I have already paid back the money."
“Bang!”
"Tell me! How much did you sell it for?"
The young man covered his swollen face and sobbed:
"Four hundred million gold coins."
“Pah pah pah!”
This time, the city lord's father held the whip and never stopped.
"Ah! Father, please stop hitting me. It hurts! It hurts so much!"
"You beast! I worked so hard to conquer this territory, and you sold it all in the blink of an eye. I'm going to beat you to death today."
The city lord felt sad about the land being sold at a low price, and also felt sad that the land he had exchanged his life for in his early years was now being easily resold by his own son.
If I wasn't in good health, I would have been angry to death today.
"Stop hitting me, father. If you keep hitting me, I'll be killed."
The young man was still begging.
At this moment, his back was already covered in flesh and blood, and it looked like the city lord had really intended to kill him.
But in the eyes of the Ten Attendants, this was nothing.
Beat your son.
Only if you are ruthless enough can it work.
Song Dian, one of the Ten Attendants, was not satisfied and added another sentence.
"City Lord, such a prodigal son must be severely punished. He must be beaten until he dares not gamble again."
This made the young man who was being beaten want to hit him a few more times.
Unfortunately, the young man couldn't get up at all. His back was torn and he was in excruciating pain.
Seeing his son in such a miserable state, the city lord immediately rolled his eyes at Zhang Rang.
This guy is my own son.
If you keep hitting me, I'll die.
The city lord then stopped the whip in his hand and roared:
"Do you dare to gamble again?"
"Father, I really don't dare to do this again. Please forgive me this time."
"No, you can't let me off easily. If there's a first time, there will be a second time."
Song Dian spoke again.
This young man couldn't stand it anymore and cursed:
"Who the hell are you? This is my family affair, is it your turn to get involved?"
Seeing his son getting angry in front of him, the city lord said angrily:
"They are the Han envoys, the ones who bought the lands I conquered in the first half of my life."
After hearing this, the young man didn't dare to say anything more.
After all, anyone who can come up with so much money is not an ordinary person, and he doesn't know where the Han envoy came from.
"Get out of here now, and stop embarrassing yourself here."
The city lord kicked his son out again.
I was in a good mood today, but I was suddenly pissed off by my own son.
After seeing the city lord's son leave, Zhang Rang continued to discuss the toll issue.
"City Lord, look. Since your son has confirmed that I bought this sea area, can we sit down and talk now?"
But the city lord said angrily:
"How do I know if you are colluding to set up a trap for my son?"
Zhang Rang was immediately displeased when he heard such shameless words.
"Alas, City Lord, that's not what you're saying. Your son didn't lose a bet with us. We bought it from the real estate agent in a fair and square manner. Since the procedures are all legal, you can't deny it. We paid for it with real money."
"Hmph! Even that's not acceptable. Everyone has the right to sail on the sea. You can't stop us from passing."
Seeing that the other party was playing rogue, Zhang Rang did not get angry but laughed:
"Hahaha, City Lord, we're here to have a proper discussion. If you continue to act so unreasonably, then you'd better understand that we represent the Han people. The Han people cannot lose face. You'd better think it over carefully."
But who knew that the city lord would not accept the threat at all and said:
"What big man! I've never heard of you. Come if you dare. Am I afraid of you big men?"
The city lord had never heard of the Han Dynasty.
What was there for him to be afraid of about a dynasty he had never heard of?
"Okay, then I hope you will speak nicely next time we meet."
"Don't worry, I'm the best person to talk to. I'll always talk nicely when we meet."
Don't even think about getting any benefits from the city lord this time.
Zhang Rang was naturally unwilling to accept this, so he immediately sent a pigeon letter to Feng Yun.
After he left the City Lord's Mansion, he did not rush back to the boat.
First, we went to the Dahan Royal Gem Jewelry Store to see how they arranged it.
However, the second one's movements were indeed fast enough.
In just a short while, the golden plaque at the door was completed.
The huge plaque allows everyone passing by to see it clearly.
Zhang Rang walked into the store with satisfaction.
I saw that the palace maids had already put on the clothes they usually wore in the palace and were preparing to welcome the guests.
When they saw that it was Zhang who asked them to come, they immediately bowed and greeted him.
"Welcome to the Han Royal Gem and Jewelry Store."
"Good, very good."
Zhang Rang was very satisfied.
As soon as you walked in, you felt like an emperor.
He immediately added.
"We must let the guests know that they are maids in the imperial palace, serving His Majesty. And these eunuchs must also explain to every guest that we are here to serve His Majesty the Han Emperor."
“Yes, we will tell our customers about it without them noticing.”
"Okay, that's a good point. Don't be too deliberate."
Then a palace maid led everyone to the shopping guide counter.
I saw that each counter was made of transparent glass.
Inside the cabinet are dazzling gems.
There are not only gems produced on the Gem Island, but also some jade produced by the Han people.
In short, the main feature is a Han character.
Zhang Rang exclaimed:
"The general was really well prepared. He was able to build the exhibition hall so quickly."
He really had to praise them because none of the Ten Attendants had ever done business.
They have ideas, but the essential decoration items such as display cabinets and decorations for opening a store cannot be prepared in a short time.
"Yes, General Fengyun is very supportive of us. He gives us whatever we need. We have everything we need now."
