Capítulo 659: Chapter 659: Unknown Crisis
“What compensation of 1.5 tis? We don’t care about that, we want the goods.”
These rchants ca from all around, traveling the long distance to Baidi City just for the goods of the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce.
The goods of the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce are indeed very sellable, from various candles to food and even dical materials, as soon as they are put on the shelves they sell out imdiately, and the profits are considerable, so even selling for several tis the price.
“Look at the big fire, the goods of the Chamber are clearly there and yet they won’t sell to us, this is clearly hoarding, trying to drive up the prices.”
“We have all given money, let’s go up together and seize it.”
Among the rchants, a few suddenly spoke loudly.
Upon hearing this, the rchants looked into the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce and indeed, there were quite a few goods placed inside.
The rchants grew increasingly angry, and surged forward.
In that situation, Lady Lai and Feng Luochen could not stop them at all.
“Soone, block them.”
Fortunately, Xia Xing arrived just in ti, he seed to have prepared beforehand, at his command, several rcenaries surged out from the crowd outside the Chamber.
It turned out that Feng Bailing had thought of this last night, that there might be looting this morning, and had Xia Xing bring so people over.
The rcenaries ford a human wall and encircled those rchants whose minds were muddled by profit.
“He is Soldier King Xia from the Soldier Inn.”
“Soldier King Xia, how can you favor the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce.”
No wonder the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce acts fearlessly, it turns out they have backing.
“So what if they have backing, the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce and we have a contractual agreent, those are our goods.”
“Soldier King Xia is colluding with the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, we want to petition the Emperor of Soldiers, let him decide for us.”
Xia Xing, surrounded by people chattering endlessly, also showed a face of helplessness.
This matter really shouldn’t reach his master, given Xia Bingxin’s personality, if she truly knows about this matter, she would likely hold the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce accountable.
Feng Bailing swept her gaze over the crowd, she noticed earlier that among those rchants, so were willing to accept the compensation, but there were a few who vocally opposed, shouted very loudly and were the first to incite looting, leading other rchants to also beco emotionally charged.
Those who shouted particularly loudly obviously had an issue.
“Ladies and Gentlen, please calm down and hear out.”
Feng Bailing stepped forward.
“Today, those who can accept the compensation from our Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, regardless of size, the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce promises to give them exclusive selling rights in their local county town. Moreover, in no more than a month, the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce will provide new goods and will deliver to your door. If you agree to this condition, today, you can still receive 1.5 tis the compensation. But if you don’t accept today’s compensation, you can take the goods, but this will also be your last cooperation with the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce.”
As soon as Feng Bailing’s words ca out, those rchants imdiately fell silent.
All present were rchants, they know best what is profitable.
The goods of the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce are very sellable, if one could obtain the local exclusive selling rights, then in the future, there would be no competition locally, not to ntion the prices and profits, but if for today’s short-term gain they cut off dealings with the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, from now on they can only watch others get rich.
“Moreover, starting from next month, the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce will begin selling Heavenly Weapons. Those who obtained the franchise will also have the exclusive rights to sell Heavenly Weapons locally.”
Upon hearing this, the rchants who were still hesitating made up their minds at once.
The rchants, who were initially angry, instantly switched to smiles and without a second word, all ca forward indicating their willingness to accept the compensation.
Those few who had been inciting the crowd also beca dumbfounded at this ti, they had not expected that the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce would have such a move.
Several people glanced at each other, not daring to stay any longer, they quickly took to their heels and ran off.
Feng Bailing gave Feng Luochen a look, and Feng Luochen imdiately understood and quickly chased after them.
By the ti Feng Luochen ca back, he had already caught two people.
By this point, the vendors causing trouble had taken their silver notes and left the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, and the chamber had temporarily regained tranquility.
“I’m really impressed. You can co up with such thods.”
Xia Xing also wore a look of admiration. He had previously only thought highly of Feng Bailing’s dical skill, but now he found Feng Bailing’s intellect also far superior to ordinary people. He would have found the situation just now quite tricky himself.
“Feng San, these n have been caught, and indeed these few people were sent from the Underworld Market.”
Feng Luochen had thrown the two captured n in front of Feng Bailing.
The Underworld Market truly was relentless.
Feng Bailing had already speculated that the last ti Qinghe Chamber of Comrce offended Changsun Rou, she would definitely not let things rest. Changsun Rou had been silent recently, but now it seed she could no longer hold back.
“Could this incident be related to the Underworld Market as well?”
Lady Lai couldn’t help but wonder.
“It’s still unclear at the mont.”
Feng Bailing shook her head. She was more worried about the rchandise than the Underworld Market right now.
She couldn’t be certain if there was sothing wrong with those goods.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Feng Bailing felt.
This ti, they were only able to intercept this batch of goods with Xia Xing’s help, but what about next ti?
There are also several other batches of goods whose whereabouts are currently unknown, and where have the remaining goods ended up?
Feng Bailing decided to have Xia Xing take her out of the city for a trip to the place where Xia Xing discovered the goods.
An hour later, in the forest.
“This is the area.”
After a rustling noise, Xia Xing pushed through the dense thicket.
Feng Bailing, Feng Luochen, and Xia Xing then headed into the forest, Feng Bailing’s domain.
There, Feng Bailing could use the Wooden Holy Seal. With a slight use of the Holy Seal’s power, she noticed sothing amiss.
“These trees have been tampered with.”
Feng Bailing discovered the tree hollow warehouses.
“The swapped goods were placed into these quick-freeze units. In order not to alert Soldier King Qi, I had soone else store that batch of the latest goods. I have also examined those goods myself, and there seems to be nothing unusual from the outside appearance.”
Gong Zhu was also skilled in using poisons, so he inspected the goods after retrieving them, confirming there were no poisons applied.
Feng Bailing didn’t say much, she kept an eye on the surroundings.
She touched a tree next to her, the trunk of which had also been hollowed out.
The tree hollow warehouses chosen by Soldier King Qi and the others were mostly old trees with decades of age, with thick trunks, and they had camouflaged the traces with bark, so there appeared to be nothing unusual from the outside.
When Feng Bailing’s hand touched the tree, she naturally communicated with the tree.
