When he asked this, the shopkeeper was really confused. Whether it was five black crystals or 150 black crystals, it was all up to the shopkeeper. Since they could frame the city guards, why couldn't they frame Xiaohui?
"No, that hairpin is worth 10,000 black crystals and your knife is worth 150 black crystals. Everyone knows that."
The shopkeeper was shocked at first, but then he suddenly realized. The hairpin they used to frame Xiaohui was really worth 10,000 black crystals. How could it be the same?
"Who told you that my knife is only worth 150 black crystals?"
"I've already given the order that if Sir Qin's subordinates buy it, they will sell it at 100 times the price. If they don't buy it at this price, it's robbery. "
Who didn't know how to act shamelessly? Du Feng was the owner of the shop. The price he set was the price. So what if the person who sold it to Qin Yongjie asked for 15,000 black crystals? It was even more expensive than the hairpin.
"You …"
Qin Yongjie was so angry that he didn't know what to say. This was completely unreasonable. But thinking about it carefully, they were also being unreasonable by convicting Xiaohui. The shopkeeper and the workers were all their people. Even the people who could testify were arranged. Since they could get the people in the shop to testify, why couldn't Du Feng? Obviously, he could too.
As for getting a few so-called people to testify, with Du Feng's ability, it was a piece of cake. Therefore, if Qin Yongjie wanted to get rid of Xiaohui, he would first use the same method to punish his subordinates.
"How about it, Sir Qin? As a city guard, he knowingly broke the law. Shouldn't he be punished first?"
Du Feng was aggressive and wanted Qin Yongjie to give him an answer. Either release Xiaohui or punish his subordinates first.
"This …"
Qin Yongjie wanted to say something but held it back. Actually, he had thought about sacrificing this subordinate to get rid of Xiaohui. Because after getting rid of Xiaohui, he could take the opportunity to find fault with Du Feng. Severed tendons could be reattached and crippled Cultivation could be slowly repaired. Anyway, he was in charge of the prison and could decide when to release him. His subordinates wouldn't die in there. At most, he would give them more compensation.
But the problem was that this subordinate wasn't the only one who used the saber. He had hundreds of subordinates, and all of them used the same knife from Du Feng's shop. If he wanted to punish them, he would have to cut off the tendons in their hands and cripple their Cultivation. In that case, he would have fewer trusted aides around him. Most importantly, his subordinates would be bitterly disappointed, and no one would follow Qin Yongjie in the future.
"What is this? What is it?"
Du Feng put his hands behind his back and raised his chin slightly. He looked at Qin Yongjie arrogantly. Do you think you're so awesome just because you're the head commander of the city defense? If you have the ability, then cripple all of your hundreds of subordinates. If you can do that, then I'll admire you.
"This … this might be a misunderstanding!"
Qin Yongjie held it in for a long time, and in the end, it was a misunderstanding. He had no choice but to say that it was a misunderstanding. After all, Cai Kangyong was also at the scene, and this matter would definitely be reported to the City Lord. If he wanted to block everyone's way, then he had to do it impartially. If he did it impartially, he would have to cripple the Cultivation of his hundreds of subordinates.
But if he only punished Xiao Hui and not his own subordinates, then it would be unreasonable no matter what. Cai Kangyong would definitely take the opportunity to complain to the City Lord's Mansion. The Cultivation of the two of them was about the same. If Cai Kangyong took the opportunity to take over, then it would be troublesome. One had to know that Cai Kangyong's momentum was very strong recently, and he could climb over his head at any time.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, then let him go."
Du Feng smiled slightly. He knew that Qin Yongjie couldn't bear to be so ruthless. If he was really so ruthless, he wouldn't be in his current state. As the head commander, he was restricted by the deputy head commander in all aspects. To put it bluntly, it was because of his personal ability.
Just like that, under the gaze of a large group of city defense guards, Du Feng strolled out of the city defense office with Xiao Hui. Not long after he walked out, he received a message. The deputy head commander of the city defense, Cai Kangyong, took the initiative to invite him to his home.
Du Feng agreed, but he didn't go over immediately. Instead, he sent Xiao Hui back to the shop and instructed him not to wander around casually. If he wanted to buy anything, he could ask Captain Yan to bring him there. Don't take the risk alone. Before eradicating the Ding Residence and Qin Yongjie, he had to be careful.
"Boss Du, this way please."
Du Feng was really respected. As the deputy head commander of the city defense, Cai Kangyong actually came to the entrance to welcome him personally.
"Please!"
After a casual exchange of pleasantries, the two entered the house. Du Feng knew very well that the reason Cai Kangyong paid so much attention to him was because of the aura he unleashed in the main hall of the city defense office. If he summoned the Sky Dragon, he would be able to kill Qin Yongjie.
However, the Sky Dragon's injuries hadn't healed yet, and Du Feng couldn't really make a move in the city defense office. Even if he wanted to kill Qin Yongjie, he had to find a lawless area. Even the primeval forest wasn't reliable. It was best to find a place outside of the Weiyang Continent.
"I've invited you here this time mainly because I have something to discuss with you …"
Cai Kangyong sent everyone around him away and even activated the restrictions in the room. What he wanted to talk about was definitely not a small matter.
"Please speak, Lord Cai. I'm all ears."
What happened next was exactly as Du Feng had expected. In the outer city of the Cloud Capital, Cai Kangyong and Qin Yongjie were already incompatible like fire and water. In short, there was only one of them, and there was only one of them. However, Qin Yongjie relied on his relatives to suppress Cai Kangyong in terms of official position. For so many years, he had been very depressed.
"Lord Cai, you want me to lure him out?"
Du Feng asked even though he already knew the answer, because he wanted Cai Kangyong to say it himself. Otherwise, he would be the mastermind of this matter. Of course, he could participate, but the mastermind was Cai Kangyong. Otherwise, if something happened in the future, he would be blamed for it.
"I'll have to trouble you to put in more effort in this matter, I'll definitely take care of it."
Cai Kangyong was embarrassed. Although Du Feng's aura was quite strong, he was still an Ascendant Realm Level 4 martial artist after all. Qin Yongjie had been at the peak of the Ascendant Realm Level 9 for a long time. There was indeed a certain risk in letting Du Feng do this. If he was killed by Qin Yongjie before guiding him to the destination, it would be troublesome.
"Okay, leave the front to me. You'll have to rely on Lord Cai for the rest."
