Within the carriage, Madam Xuan's beauty was somewhat dazzling. She wore a black dress and held an orange tabby cat. Every piece of jewelry on her body was worth tens of thousands of yuan. Her temperament was like that of a noble lady. She smiled and looked at Xia Pingan, who had calmly boarded the carriage. "It's been a long time since we last met. Young Master Xia is like a fish in water in Shangjing, like a dragon in the clouds. You really have a bright future ahead of you. We only met once that day, and I thought that Young Master Xia wouldn't remember me!"
"Madam, you must be joking. I'm just trying to make a living in Shangjing. Every day, I'm living a precarious life. It's true that my path is full of thorns!" Xia Pingan sat beside Madam Xuan. His posture was relaxed, as if he had treated Madam Xuan as a good friend of many years.
"That day, Young Master Xia said that if I were to encounter any difficulties in Shangjing, if you were able to help me in the future, you would definitely return the favor. I wonder if your words still count?" Madam Xuan's words were as sharp as knives. She went straight to the point.
"Could it be that Madam has encountered some difficulties?"
"There is one thing that Young Master Xia can help me with."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Young Master, did you detain a cargo ship at the docks, the Fulong?"
"That's right!" Xia Pingan's gaze moved as he said directly.
"To tell you the truth, the Fulong is more or less related to me. I wonder if Young Master could give me some face and remove the detaining procedures of the Fulong. That ship cannot be moved, and the ship owner has to pay the docks fees every day. He also has to bear the responsibility of violating the cargo transportation agreements that he signed with other merchant groups and companies. If things go wrong, there might be a storm and rumors everywhere. It's somewhat difficult to bear …"
Xia Pingan's eyes flashed and he asked directly, "Does Madam know what the Fortune Dragon is involved with?"
Madam Xuan sighed slightly, "Childe, you know that there are a lot of nobles in Shang Jing City who spend a lot of money. Of course, they are short of money. Actually, they also regret that they came to trouble you at that time. It's hard to calculate the favor of those nobles. The worldly wisdom can't be explained in a few words. Some things were entrusted by others and couldn't be ignored. Therefore, they had no choice but to come forward. They didn't mean to trouble you. I think you don't want to make a big deal out of the matter of Fulong Enterprise, so I gave the right to deal with it to His Highness the Crown Prince. Those nobles also know what you mean, so I'm here to mediate with you on behalf of those nobles. Let's put an end to it. Let's let bygones be bygones and let's let bygones be bygones.
They will not let you off easily! "When Xia Pingan heard Madam Xuan's words, he knew that the Garrison Corps had already compromised. Madam Xuan had come to find him on behalf of the Garrison Corps.
This was the rule of Shang Jing City. If you didn't show your strength and ability, no one would treat you as an onion. As long as you had the ability, no matter who the Garrison Corps was, you could still press their heads down.
"Madam Xuan, you are very resourceful. This business is actually related to the Garrison Corps. Sorry for the disrespect!"
Madam Xuan's eyes wandered as she smiled. "I am a weak woman. If I don't find a backer and make more friends in Shang Jing City, how can I survive? Actually, the business behind the Fulong Ship isn't what you think it is. The expenditure of the Garrison Corps is too high. It is far from enough to rely on the funds allocated by the higher-ups. The pension of the Garrison Corps has always been several times higher than that given by the imperial court. Where did that money come from?
Most of the money earned from the business is still spent on the Corps. The Corps has its own little treasury. If not for this, the Crown Prince wouldn't have kept silent after receiving such a big case. In a few days, Lei Heyang will resign from his position as the Deputy Commander of the Garrison Corps and retire at home. This will be considered as an explanation to you and the Crown Prince. Young Master's anger should be appeased. In the future, all the nobles in Shang Jing City will know that you are not to be trifled with … "
After hearing this woman's words, Xia Pingan's anger was indeed appeased. Furthermore, he didn't want to make the conflict between him and the Garrison Corps irreconcilable.
If he made too many enemies in Shang Jing City, it would be disadvantageous for him. This time, he had a fight with the Garrison Corps. The Garrison Corps attacked him first. Therefore, he fought back.
After being silent for a short while, Xia Pingan said straightforwardly, "Now that Madam has come forward, the case of Fulong will come to an end. Madam, you can tell the owner of Fulong that the Supervision Department will release the arrest of Fulong tomorrow!"
After hearing this, Madam Xuan revealed a relieved smile, "Thank you, Young Master!"
"But I have one more question. I want to get an answer from the Garrison Corps!"
"Young Master, please?"
"Was the event in the night market of Tianyuan Bridge arranged by the Garrison Corps?" Xia Pingan asked straightforwardly.
"I can assure you that the event in Tianyuan Bridge last night has nothing to do with the Garrison Corps!" Madam Xuan said solemnly, "The Garrison Corps is being watched by His Highness the Crown Prince. They are trembling with fear. How would they dare to do such a thing? If they wanted to attack you, they wouldn't have asked me for help. The conflict between you and them would have been resolved the same way. They would never have done something that broke the rules!"
"Madam, how can you guarantee that?"
Madam Xuan said with a faint smile, "The guarantee of King Peng Auction House has some credibility in Shang Jing City. Over the years, the reputation of King Peng Auction House has never changed!"
Looking at Madam Xuan, Xia Pingan patted his head as he asked in surprise, "Does Madam Xuan own King Peng Auction House?"
"You must be joking, Young Master. King Peng Auction House exists in all the continents and countries. I'm just a shopkeeper of King Peng Auction House in Shang Jing City. With the help of my friends, I do some small business!"
After hearing this woman's words, Xia Pingan felt that King Peng Auction House was unfathomable.
"Hahaha, if Madam Xuan only does small business, how can there be big business in Shang Jing City!" Xia Pingan laughed, "Alright, since Madam Xuan says so, I'll believe you!"
"It's understandable that Young Master suspects the Garrison Legion. Young Master has made too many enemies in Shang Jing City. I'm afraid that Young Master has forgotten about some of them. If you're not careful, you might suffer a great loss!" Madam Xuan said with deep meaning.
"Madam, what do you mean? Please tell me directly."
"Young Master, do you still remember Sun Hao?"
Xia Pingan raised his eyebrows, "Of course I do!"
"A few days ago, I heard that Sun Hao's father took out a large amount of cash from Longxing Business Group. It was a total of 500,000 gold coins. The purpose of the cash was unknown. He didn't use it to do business, nor did he use it to purchase property. Calculating the time, it was just a few days ago when Young Master took office at Donggang's Supervision Office. You were so glorious and enviable …"
When a smart person spoke, it was easy to understand.
Sun Family, it's the Sun Family. So it's the Sun Family!
The thing that Xia Pingan vaguely wanted to grasp in his heart was suddenly pointed out. Xia Pingan finally understood what he had been neglecting. It was the Sun Family.
Xia Pingan previously thought that the matter with the Sun Family had come to an end. He didn't expect that it wasn't over yet.
Although he didn't leave any evidence behind when he killed Sun Hao, if the Sun Family thought that he was the one who did it, then they wouldn't care about evidence.
Perhaps the Sun Family didn't think so before and didn't think that he had such ability. However, when he became the Donggang's Inspector, the Sun Family broke through his defenses.
When he killed Sun Hao back then, he wasn't at the Three Sun Realm. Everything had happened to him in the end by a freak combination of factors.
Madam Xuan looked at Xia Pingan's slightly changing expression and continued, "Sun Hao was the most favored in the Sun Family. When Sun Hao went missing, the Sun Family never gave up looking for him. Although Sun Hao's second uncle has been removed from the position of Qingyun District's Deputy Chief, the Sun Family is still a big family in Shang Jing City. They have a lot of connections. If they believe that Sun Hao's disappearance is related to Young Master, I'm afraid this matter won't be settled so easily. 500,000 gold coins is enough for many strong people to take risks and do something in Shang Jing City!"
This was already clear enough. If Xia Pingan still didn't understand, then there was something wrong with his head.
"Thank you for telling me, Madam!" Xia Pingan solemnly cupped his fist and thanked her.
"Young Master, you don't have to be so polite. To be honest, I don't like some of the Sun Family's actions!"
"I had a good chat with Madam today. Madam, please stop the carriage at the intersection ahead. I'll get off there!"
"Young Master, if you have any problems in the future, you can take this and find me directly at the Roc King Auction House!" Madam Xuan took out a small waist token with a golden Roc King carved on it and handed it to Xia Pingan.
"This is the Roc King Auction House's VIP waist token?"
Madam Xuan covered her mouth and laughed, "This waist token is more expensive than the VIP waist token. Young Master, you will know in the future!"
Xia Pingan took the waist token and stored it in the space warehouse.
When the carriage arrived at the intersection ahead, Xia Pingan got off the carriage.
After getting off the carriage, Xia Pingan called for another carriage by the roadside and went directly to the Donggang Inspection Department.
Since he knew that the Sun Family was behind this, it was easy to handle.
Xia Pingan still had the card in his hand.
Xia Pingan, who was sitting in the carriage, narrowed his eyes …
… …
After Madam Xuan's carriage dropped off Xia Pingan, it continued on the road. After passing another intersection, there was another person in Madam Xuan's carriage. No, there was another voice.
Madam Xuan let someone sit in the carriage, but there was another woman's voice in the carriage. The voice came from the big tabby cat that Madam Xuan was hugging.
The big tabby cat opened its mouth and spoke.
"Madam, the assassin hired by the Sun Family is not easy to deal with. Why didn't Madam do him a favor just now?"
"I want to see if he can get past this obstacle!" Madam Xuan softly opened her mouth.
"Why?"
Madam Xuan gently stroked the big tabby cat, "I want to know why the Blood Demon Church spent so much effort to kill a few ordinary Space Traversers. The Blood Demon Church's actions are a little abnormal. There must be a reason behind this abnormality!"
