The elderly man in white must have checked the injuries of Yang Ning and Li Hu, as his expression was extrely unpleasant at this mont. He was glaring angrily at the three from Yuan Cheng who had just stepped out of the building; the questioning voice clearly ca from him.
There were already quite a few people coming and going around the Treasure Tower, and when two injured people suddenly fell from the window, they instantly attracted many people’s attention, who stopped to look over.
"Those thirteen, they’re from Beishuo Town, right?"
"Obviously, that’s the Chairman of the Beishuo Chamber of Comrce, Yang Fa’s eldest son Yang Fan."
"The twelve behind him are all high-level mbers of the Beishuo Chamber of Comrce. See the two youngest ones at the end? Those are Yang Shou and Yang Ding from the Six Horses."
"Why would they co over?"
"The Beishuo Chamber of Comrce has long been in Hongn City; they must not have reached an agreent on the price with Great Xia yet, so they’re staying here. Soone probably saw what happened inside the building and went to inform Yang Fan."
"Not just Yang Fan, look over there, it seems the other Seven Towns Chamber of Comrce mbers are also here, they’re probably here for the spectacle."
"I see, Cao Tianhong, Long Wenyan, Murong Shang, and Jiang Yuanqing."
"Qin Yuandu, Shangguan Ying, Duan Zhao, and Murong are here too."
Hongn City isn’t large, and coupled with the Treasure Tower being highly prominent, any small commotion would quickly spread.
Today is the first of September, the trade between the Eight Towns Chamber of Comrce and Great Xia has only just begun, strictly speaking. Although so important commodities have already been traded, that’s just part of it; many other transactions still need to be negotiated slowly, so the leaders of the Eight Towns Chamber of Comrce mostly stayed in Hongn City.
Beishuo, being directly involved, ca quickly, which is understandable.
The others from the seven towns clearly ca just to watch the excitent.
"What? These two furtive characters are actually Yang Old’s grandsons?"
Setting aside the reactions of others, upon hearing Yang Fan’s question, Yuan Cheng instantly feigned a surprised expression and then laughed: "Yang Old really needs to verify carefully, these two scoundrels claid to be from Jinyang Village in the Jinshan Town Yinhe Valley when entering the city, one nad Liu Ning and the other Li Hu, how could they be Yang Old’s grandsons?"
Yang Fan’s face froze at these words, seeing Yang Ning avoiding eye contact, he imdiately understood that his own people were at fault first.
Yet, looking at the two’s miserable state, he couldn’t swallow this grievance, especially noticing the nurous people from the Seven Towns surrounding him. He turned and glared at Yuan Cheng with a low tone: "Even if they used fake identities to sneak in, Lord Yuan didn’t need to resort to such harsh asures, right? Yang Ning is my grandson without a doubt, a mber of the Yang Family, and Li Hu is also one of Beishuo’s youths. Without cause or reason, you severely hard them. Today, no matter what, you must give an explanation!"
After hearing Yang Fan’s words, Yuan Cheng still wore a smile, though his gaze noticeably dropped a little. Pointing at Yang Ning and Li Hu on the ground, he continued: "If these two fools rely sneaked in with false identities, my duty as a Director would have simply been to expel them from the city as before. But they dared to accuse my Great Xia of being related to the deceitful monster publicly in front of so many at the Treasure Tower, my actions of injuring them today are already a special rcy, considering their youthful ignorance..."
Upon hearing the term ’youthful ignorance,’ everyone’s expressions suddenly turned bizarre. The appearance of Li Hu and Yang Ning lying on the ground clearly showed they were about Yuan Cheng’s age, possibly even older. Yuan Cheng was honestly humiliating them with those words.
Yuan Cheng remained calm throughout, and after speaking, he paused and his face suddenly turned grim. He stared directly at Yang Fan and continued: "Let’s not discuss this for now, Chairman Yang. Whether they’re rely your two grandsons or even yourself, and all these people from the Beishuo Chamber of Comrce, if any of you dare to sneak in under false identities and get caught by , I would see fit to kill them, no questions asked. Do you truly believe the rules laid down by my Great Xia at the city gate are re display?
No matter what, I must give you an explanation, so Chairman Yang, why not tell right now, what kind of explanation do you want today?"
After Yuan Cheng finished speaking, the room fell silent instantly, everyone’s eyes were focused on Yang Fan and the fifteen from Beishuo.
Great Xia, obviously deliberately using Beishuo to set an example.
People from the Seven Towns Chamber of Comrce, and all the guests at the Treasure Tower today, anyone with a bit of wisdom mostly realized this.
Seeing this, Yang Fan, although nearing a hundred years old, wasn’t oblivious either. He quickly discerned Yuan Cheng’s malicious intent, knowing that retreating now would only disgrace Beishuo, turning it into a laughingstock among the Eight Towns. He imdiately let out a low, cold laugh:
"Great Xia has been involved in the Moao territory for barely four months, relying on the convenience gained from Bashang’s destruction, dare to be so disdainful.
We ca from afar out of respect, only to discover that this is how Great Xia treats guests.
Yuan Cheng, there’s no need to be arrogant, trying to intimidate ? Isn’t Hongn City part of Great Xia? If you have the guts, go ahead and kill all fifteen from Beishuo now and see if I even blink."
Wisdom cos with age!
With just one sentence, Yang Fan put Yuan Cheng in a difficult position, making his expression instantly freeze.
Would Yuan Cheng dare to kill in Hongn City?
He truly wouldn’t dare, at least not in this situation.
Hongn City not only continuously brings substantial economic benefits to Great Xia but is also a key showcase to the outside world. Ensuring everyone’s safety is the top priority; killing without a solid reason and causing public uproar is out of the question.
