"Tell us the whereabouts of your commander, and how many of you have infiltrated the caravan. What is the name of the person who hired you? How many benefits did he give you? What did he ask you to steal? "Yun Sheng guided them patiently.
The Phantom Beast Corps had a total of fifty-one people. This time, forty of them came, led by the commander himself. They were stationed five kilometers away, in a hidden cave in King of Hell's Ridge.
The Phantom Beast Corps had a total of twenty people mixed in with the caravan. At this moment, they were all standing guard outside the caravan. Among the people who entered, one of them was their deputy commander, and there were four Phantom Beasts among them.
Yun Sheng's pupils shrank. The golden color disappeared, and her eyes returned to their original black color.
The hunter had a confused look on his face, and he was babbling nonsense.
"Wow, so powerful. Young master, what kind of martial arts are you using?" Zhou Quan was stunned. This method of interrogation was really amazing.
"This is not martial arts, but a kind of medical skill. You can't learn it." Yun Sheng smiled indifferently.
"Sheng 'er, you and Zhou Quan go in and find Zhou Qingchuan. Leave this person to me." Yun Canglang glanced at the tunnel in front of him, thinking that the people from the Phantom Beast Corps were about to come out.
He was already used to Yun Sheng's methods.
This niece of his was hiding countless intriguing little secrets from head to toe. As her second uncle, he already felt that he shouldn't be offended by this.
Yun Sheng also understood what Yun Canglang was going to do next.
She and Zhou Quan had only taken a few steps when a low cry came from behind them. She did not need to look to know that the member of the Phantom Beast Corps had already been killed by Yun Canglang.
As soon as the two stepped into the tent, Zhou Qingchuan immediately became alert. He had just stood up when he saw two figures enter the tent.
"Who is it?!" Zhou Qingchuan did not panic, and immediately held the magic scepter in his hand.
"It's me, Big Brother Zhou." Yun Sheng and Zhou Quan had already entered the tent.
"You!" When Zhou Qingchuan saw Yun Sheng, he was shocked for a moment, but then his eyes revealed a look of joy.
The magic scepter in his hand shone brightly.
Wherever the light shone, he saw a beautiful figure that made his heart tremble slightly.
However, there was a strong man standing beside this beautiful figure.
Right at this moment, the tent was lifted and Yun Canglang, who had taken care of the beast soldier, walked in.
"Sheng 'er, we have to hurry. If we're late, I'm afraid that group of people will find the account book." Yun Canglang walked into the tent and sized up Zhou Qingchuan.
The two men, who would be influential figures in their respective fields in the future, looked at each other under the hazy illumination magic.
With just one glance, Zhou Qingchuan was on high alert.
Zhou Qingchuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at Yun Canglang's imposing aura.
"Big Brother Zhou, this is my second uncle, Yun Sheng. The one beside me is Zhou Quan from the Heaven Extermination Hunting Corps. Extinguish the illumination spell first." Yun Sheng was afraid that the commotion in Zhou Qingchuan's tent would alert Zhou Bing and the others outside.
Yun Canglang?
Zhou Qingchuan immediately thought of this person.
He had been on the continent for many years. Although he was only a child when Yun Canglang was at his peak, he still had a deep impression of this fierce general in Zhou State.
Yun Sheng told Zhou Qingchuan what had happened during the day.
When he found out that his third uncle had colluded with the Phantom Beast Corps to steal the account book, Zhou Qingchuan didn't have any expression of surprise.
His face was amiable, no different from the courteous steward that Yun Sheng had met at the auction house.
"This time, it's all thanks to you guys. I also guessed that there would be people who would do something to the caravan along the way, but I didn't expect that person to be third uncle. "Zhou Qingchuan's calmness surprised Yun Sheng.
After he explained what had happened, everyone finally understood why Zhou Bing would do such a thing.
"There's no time to lose. Big Brother Zhou, we should quickly go and capture the thief. Otherwise, if the account book is stolen, Big Brother Zhou's efforts will be wasted." Yun Sheng reminded.
"I won't hide it from you guys. The account book has already been sent back." Zhou Qingchuan smiled. Between his words, there was a look of understanding.
He glanced at Yun Sheng and a gentle light flashed in his eyes.
It turned out that Zhou Qingchuan had used the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Before tonight, he had already ordered people to make a copy of the account book. If he wasn't wrong, the account book should have already arrived at the headquarters of the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce.
"Brother Zhou is indeed a member of the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce. His thoughts are meticulous. It seems that Sheng 'er, we have made an unnecessary move this time." Yun Canglang couldn't help but admire Zhou Qingchuan. At such a young age, he was still calm in the face of such difficulties.
"No, I still have one thing to trouble you guys with. Since you guys are members of the Hunting Corps, I would like to ask for your help in eliminating the spies in our caravan. Also, try to capture the leader of the Hunting Corps. "Although Zhou Qingchuan had transferred the account book, he had no way to prove Zhou Bing's evil deeds.
However, if Yun Sheng and the others could capture the leader of the Mirage Beast Hunting Group, and then take out the evidence of this person colluding with Zhou Bing, then Zhou Qingchuan was confident that he could rely on this time to directly dig out Zhou Bing's background.
At that time, with the addition of the account book, the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce would definitely experience a big reshuffle.
He looked at Yun Sheng eagerly. Yun Sheng, however, looked at her Second Uncle.
Yun Canglang couldn't help but frown. After Zhou Qingchuan's explanation, Yun Sheng roughly understood the predicament that Zhou Qingchuan was currently facing.
The goods this time, to Zhou Qingchuan, were very important.
Although he was successful at a young age, and was highly regarded by his Grandfather Zhou Ronghai, but in the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce, he had never held any real power.
The specific reason, had to be explained from Zhou Qingchuan's father.
Zhou Qingchuan's father, Zhou Hai, was the second son of the current Patriarch of the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Ronghai. Zhou Bing was capable since he was young, and took up the position of the main manager of the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce.
Unfortunately, not long after he and Zhou Qingchuan's mother got married, he was tragically killed by bandits when he went out to do business.
The property and power that originally belonged to Zhou Bing was forced to be transferred to the other branches of the Zhou Family to take over.
According to Zhou Ronghai's original plan, the property that belonged to his second son, Zhou Bing, would be returned to the second branch when Zhou Qingchuan turned twenty years old.
The other sons of the Zhou Family had agreed at that time, but when Zhou Qingchuan grew up, his uncles came up with all kinds of excuses.
They even came up with a plan to expel Zhou Qingchuan from the core business of the Family, and send him to a remote border city like the Sunset City, in an attempt to make him unable to rise again for the rest of his life.
But gold will always shine. Not only was Zhou Qingchuan not discouraged, in the few years he was sent out, he constantly sharpened his ability.
Relying on his own talent in business, he managed to make the Sunset Auction House, which was on the verge of collapse, flourish.
