Chapter 61: Let the Su family have more children!
Chapter 61: Let the Su family have more children!
This matter can be resolved as long as we find a way to connect with the Danlou and Qibaoge.
Of course, what Chu Feng didn't expect was that the City Lord's Mansion would react so slowly, taking more than a month before anyone came knocking on their door.
After receiving the nameplate from the servant, Xu Zhaoxing and Xu Tian's faces turned ashen. Damn it, what kind of business is it for guest elders of Danlou and Qibaoge to kill a mere city lord?
That bastard Qin Feng, is he trying to poison the city lord's mind? Even if he's from the Backing Mountain Sect, he can't use the city lord's mansion as a weapon!
Besides, the Backing Mountain Sect has already closed its gates, so who knows when it will reopen them?
If it weren't for the city lord's son speaking up, how would the city lord's mansion have gotten involved? Now, things are really messed up; Chu Feng has become a member of the Pill Pavilion and the Artifact Pavilion. What are we going to do?
It's true that the Back Mountain Sect is a sixth-grade sect, but why should the City Lord's Mansion do things for the declining Back Mountain Sect?
I really don't know what the city lord's son is thinking!
The Su family knew from the expressions on the two men's faces that Chu Feng had resolved the matter.
Everyone was filled with complex emotions. The City Lord of Tianfu City, a high and mighty figure, was actually frightened by Chu Feng's few words.
Chu Feng coldly asked, "Gentlemen, Qin Yueming colluded with trashy disciples of the Kao Shan Sect to try to forcibly take my wife. Was I wrong to kill him? If the laws of the Empire allow for the forcible taking of another man's wife, then I, Chu Feng, have nothing to say."
Xu Zhaoxing said awkwardly, "Master Chu, please calm down. Perhaps our subordinates exaggerated the situation when they reported it. As for the matter in Julu City, we failed to investigate it thoroughly because the city lord was not in Tianfu City. It was our fault. Please forgive us, Master Chu!"
They had no choice but to back down. If they angered the Pill Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion, the city lord would surely tear them apart when he returned.
What is the Pill Pavilion? It's a subordinate force of the behemoth Pill Tower! The Artifact Pavilion is the same! A behemoth!
Could a mere city lord afford to offend them?
Chu Feng said coldly, "You two are mistaken, but that has nothing to do with me, Chu Feng, or the Su family. However, it's good to be lenient when possible, and I won't make things difficult for you two."
Xu Zhaoxing smiled and said, "We are grateful that Master Chu is willing to let this matter go!"
Chu Feng smiled and said, "It's fine if we don't pursue this matter. However, you two should follow the imperial procedures and give me a written document to clearly explain the cause and effect of this matter, so as to avoid any misunderstandings in the future."
If this matter is not resolved, it will be troublesome if the city lord's mansion brings up old grievances again in the future. It is better to resolve it once and for all.
Xu Zhaoxing smiled and said, "Of course, of course. The document is very simple. All matters of the City Lord's Mansion are handled by me. I will give Master Chu a document now."
With the meat on the chopping board, he had no choice but to bow his head. Xu Zhaoxing readily wrote a document and stamped it with the official seal of the city lord's mansion.
Chu Feng read it carefully. It was written very clearly: Qin Yueming, the city lord of Julu City, colluded with outsiders to forcibly take Chu Feng's wife. Chu Feng killed her in self-defense. The city lord's mansion was guilty of its own actions. Chu Feng was innocent, and the Su family was innocent.
"Well done, Steward Xu is indeed very perceptive. I admire you both. It is an honor for me to know you two." As he spoke, Chu Feng took out a storage bag and handed it over.
He put in 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones, trying not to offend anyone. 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 2 million low-grade spirit stones. Chu Feng is now rich and powerful, so he doesn't care about these spirit stones.
"Thank you for your generosity, Master Chu. Now that this matter has come to a perfect end, we should take our leave." Xu Zhaoxing accepted the storage bag and bid farewell to Xu Tian and the other person.
Chu Feng hurriedly said, "Manager Xu, please wait a moment. I have a few more questions to ask."
Xu Zhaoxing said, "Master Chu, please speak."
Chu Feng asked, "Who informed the City Lord's Mansion that I killed Qin Yueming?"
Xu Zhaoxing said, "Qin Yueming's son and daughter have both joined the sixth-grade sect, Kaoshan Sect. It just so happens that the young master of my city lord's mansion was also a disciple of Kaoshan Sect. So, this matter was passed on to the city lord's mansion through the young master."
Xu Zhaoxing would not hide this matter. The city lord's son was not well-liked. There was a cause for every wrong, and Chu Feng would probably not want to offend the city lord's mansion because of this.
Chu Feng laughed and said, "Young Master of the City Lord's Mansion doesn't know, Qin Yueming's son and daughter are simply wicked. The reason I have a grudge against these two is because they poisoned my wife with aphrodisiac."
Xu Zhaoxing frowned and said, "I didn't expect these two to be so despicable! When I return to the City Lord's Mansion, I will definitely tell Young Master Chu what he said!"
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xu Zhaoxing and his companion took their leave.
"Manager Xu, how do we explain things to the young master?" Xu Tian asked hurriedly as soon as they stepped out the door.
Xu Zhaoxing sneered, "Although the Backing Mountain Sect is still a sixth-grade sect, with the Heavenly Moon Pavilion around, the Backing Mountain Sect can never go back to what it was before. Regardless of your relationship with Qin Feng, we cannot afford to antagonize the Pill Pavilion and the Artifact Pavilion!"
Xu Tian frowned and said, "Chu Feng is just a second-grade alchemist and weapon refiner. Would the Pill Pavilion and the Weapon Treasure Pavilion really oppose my City Lord's Mansion for his sake?"
The young master has always treated me well and rarely asked me to do anything. Today, he only asked me to do a small task, and I couldn't even complete it. I'm afraid the young master will find it hard to trust me in the future.
Xu Zhaoxing sneered, "What do you know? A second-grade nameplate may not be worth much money, but it represents the face of a powerful force! A person lives for their reputation!"
Don't think that just because Chu Feng is only a second-grade cultivator, even if he were a lackey of the Pill Pavilion and the Artifact Pavilion, he can be treated so easily. "You have to consider the owner before beating a dog, don't you understand?"
In Xu Zhaoxing's eyes, Chu Feng was indeed nothing special. His true thought was that even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner.
If Chu Feng heard what Xu Zhaoxing said, he would definitely take back the spirit stones he had given away!
Although Xu Tian was somewhat unwilling, he couldn't defy the powerful. Apart from the city lord, Xu Zhaoxing wouldn't listen to anyone.
Besides, the Danlou and Qibaoge are indeed not places I can afford to provoke.
After thinking it over, Xu Tian could only go back first and leave everything to the young master to decide!
After the two left, Chu Feng took out six storage bags and handed them to Su Yongquan: "Grandpa, there are two hundred million low-grade spirit stones in here. You can take them and distribute them."
Su Yongquan exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Feng, where did you get so many low-grade spirit stones?" He had only sold a small portion of the things Chu Feng had given him before. The Su family needed to develop in the future, and various resources were required. It was better to keep them than to sell them.
Although the Su family is small, Qi Yuehua and Mo Yunyan are still young and can have more children!
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm an alchemist and a weapon refiner. Would I lack spirit stones? I refined some pills and ordinary weapons and sold some spirit stones. You can use them without worry. Once I find a suitable place, we'll move out."
Su Yongquan gave a wry smile and stopped insisting. Chu Feng had given the Su family too much, but the Su family had given Chu Feng nothing in return.
I really feel ashamed before Brother Chu!
However, now that the Su family has Chu Feng as their benefactor, shouldn't they hold a family gathering to urge Qi Yuehua and Mo Yunyan to quickly add a son to the Su family?
If all else fails, let's also get a few concubines for Su Lao Er, Su Zhenting, and Su Bing.
