Chapter 187 Princess Yunyi Became the Scapegoat
……

And at the same time.

Master Qi Ban, who had already realized that the situation was not good, had quietly left the platform and hid in the back corner.

As soon as he heard Shangguan Yulong’s report, his head suddenly started buzzing and he shouted “Fuck” in his heart.

Some time ago, Shangguan Yulong showed concern for him and after a few drinks, he thought Shangguan Yulong was his life confidant. He also naively thought that it would be great if Shangguan Yulong was his boss.

I didn't expect that even though I treated you as my confidant, you turned around and reported me.

These children from aristocratic families really can’t be trusted. They can’t be trusted. After all, I am too naive.

Master Qi Ban, whose heart was wounded, felt disheartened. He reached out and tapped the storage bag lightly, and a puppet appeared in front of him.

The puppet was as tall as him, and looked and behaved about 80% similar to him. It was a substitute puppet that he had carefully made.

Master Qi Ban bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood at the puppet.

In an instant, the substitute puppet seemed to come back to life and became more agile. Not only were the fluctuations of his mind, true energy, and aura exactly the same as his own, but even the dull and dazed aura, as if he was wandering in his trance at any time, was almost exactly the same as his.

Under the urging of his spiritual consciousness, the true energy of the substitute puppet flowed around its body, and its momentum suddenly burst out, and it fled into the distance at a rapid speed like a startled wild goose.

Master Qi Ban himself restrained his breath, rolled several times, and quietly arrived at the landscape area next to the Yixian Building. He took out a piece of landscape bluestone from his storage bag. No, to be more precise, it was the shell of a landscape bluestone.

He curled up, covered his body with the bluestone shell, and used the turtle breathing technique to make his breath become almost invisible.

In an instant, Master Qi Ban disappeared, and only a piece of landscape bluestone was left in his place.

Looking closely, the outer shell of the landscape bluestone is so lifelike that it not only looks ancient and unique, but also has a lot of charm. There are also some ferns growing in the cracks of the stone, and even a lush green pine tree growing stubbornly on the stone, which looks very realistic.

As a person on the blacklist, Master Qiban naturally has his own way of survival.

At this time, the frantically fleeing substitute puppet had already attracted everyone's attention.

The Shuiyue Tower Master narrowed his eyes slightly, and in an instant he made up his mind, and shouted: "Thief, you dare to run away?"

With a gentle wave of the white wide sleeves, a water-colored sword energy shot towards the substitute puppet. The sword energy became bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye it was more than ten feet long, with astonishing power.

Killing someone on the spot would certainly cause a lot of trouble, but if Master Qi Ban died, there would be no evidence. Even if they still had to argue with each other, there would still be a lot of room for maneuver.

"Shuiyue, how dare you!"

Lei Wuji also reacted very quickly. His face changed and he almost instinctively turned into a ray of lightning and rushed towards Master Qi Ban.

Among all the escape speeds, the Thunder Escape is almost universally recognized as the fastest. But even so, he could not catch up with the sword energy of the Shuiyue Tower Master.

"Shh!"

The huge water-colored sword energy directly cut off Master Qi Ban's waist.

The body of "Master Qiban" suddenly split into two, and it still rushed forward more than ten feet before falling to the ground with a "clang", revealing the complex parts that were obviously part of the weapon refining device.

Some of the broken parts were even scattered all over the floor with a clanging sound.

At this time, Lei Wuji, who was using the Lightning Escape Technique, also caught up to the puppet.

Looking at the scene in front of him, his expression was slightly dazed.

This is actually a substitute puppet that can simulate one's own aura?
The owner of Shuiyue Tower was also stunned for a moment, and then his heart skipped a beat, filled with anger and regret.

He took such a big risk to kill someone on the spot, but he only killed a mere substitute puppet? ! !
Lei Wuji also came back to his senses at this time. He turned around and looked at the owner of Shuiyue Tower, and laughed angrily: "Shuiyue, you really have a big problem."

At this point, his voice suddenly rose, booming like thunder: "Someone, take him down!!"

The words fell.

Several deacons of the Law Enforcement Hall, wearing black uniforms and black armor, and with a fierce and dashing aura, immediately flew down from those medium-sized armed flying boats.

They surrounded the Shuiyue Tower Master expressionlessly, bowed to him, and said in a businesslike manner: "Master Shuiyue, please don't embarrass us."

The owner of Shuiyue Tower looked very unhappy.

But he knew in his heart that he could not resist at this moment.

Firstly, there were two Jindan cultivators from the sect present at the scene. Among them, Lei Wuji, the master of Zixiao Tianlei Peak, had unfathomable strength.

Secondly, although he had violated many sect rules and would certainly be punished by the sect once the facts were investigated, with his status as a Jindan cultivator, as long as he went back honestly and cooperated with the investigation, this level of crime would be far from enough to bring him down.

On the contrary, if he resisted at this time, he would be completely cut off from the Yunyang Sect. Even if he managed to escape by chance, the Ziyin Sect Master would definitely come personally to clean up the sect.

Without even waiting for the owner of Shuiyue Tower to speak.

The deacons of the Law Enforcement Hall took out the soul locks and skillfully fastened the hands, dantian, neck and head of the owner of Shuiyue Tower.

The needle tip in the lock pierced into his body, quickly sealing key positions such as the golden elixir and the spirit platform, completely restricting his magic power and ability to move.

Seeing his cooperation, the stern expressions of the Law Enforcement Hall Deacon and Lei Wuji relaxed a little.

It seems that the owner of Shuiyue Tower has no connection with the Blood Soul Sect, and has no intention of betraying the Yunyang Sect.

Such a scene made the whole place silent. No one dared to breathe loudly, for fear of getting into trouble for no reason and implicating themselves.

Only Lu Qingxuan's eyes were filled with despair. She rushed forward regardless of everything and said in a shrill voice: "I did all this. Don't implicate my master."

"Shut up!"

The owner of Shuiyue Tower had a serious expression on his face, and turned to Lei Wuji and said, "Brother Wuji, I am the mastermind behind the whole incident, and Qingxuan is just a puppet controlled by me. For the sake of our fellow sect, please trouble the Peak Master to deal with her impartially."

In fact, the relationship between Shuiyue Tower Master and Lei Wuji is not bad, otherwise after the Lu family was involved in the Blood Soul Sect incident, even if the sect had found out that the Lu family did not deliberately collude with the Blood Soul Sect, Lei Wuji would not have turned a blind eye and exposed the matter so quickly.

After all, if the normal procedure is followed, if Lu wants to lift the ban, it will take a long time to go through the process. By the time all industries are successfully unblocked, Lu will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

At this time, hearing what the owner of Shuiyue Tower said, Lei Wuji was silent for a while.

In the end, he said nothing. He waved his hand and had the owner of Shuiyue Tower escorted to the small treasure boat. He also had Lu Qingxuan controlled and detained in a medium-sized armed spirit boat.

At the same time, the rest of the disciples who came with the Law Enforcement Hall had come out in full force and blocked off the entire Yixian Market. The law enforcement disciples began to search for Master Qi Ban in the market, but Master Qi Ban seemed to have disappeared and there was no trace of him after searching for a long time.

Master Qi Ban, curled up in the landscape bluestone, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but was also filled with fear.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly and acted decisively, otherwise, even if I wasn't silenced, I would have been arrested on the spot.

Now, as long as he waits until dark and the law enforcement disciples in charge of the search relax a little, he will have the opportunity to move to the shelter he built secretly and evacuate Yixianfang City through the secret passage.

By then, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly.

This is his basic quality as a wanted criminal. Whenever he arrives at a new place, he will try to leave himself a way out in advance.

Even when he was under Lu's surveillance, he did not lose this habit and still tried to find a shelter that Lu didn't know about.

He patiently curled up among the landscape bluestones and waited quietly, just waiting for the right opportunity to come.

But at this moment.

A light sound of footsteps was heard nearby.

Then, from time to time, there was the sound of stones being hit.

Master Qiban's heart suddenly tightened, and his whole body quickly tensed up because of nervousness. He couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.

Don't find me, don't find me...

Unfortunately, his prayers were of no avail.

Not long after, the bluestone shell where he was hiding was ruthlessly opened.

The dazzling sunlight suddenly shone on Master Qi Ban's face, stimulating him to subconsciously close his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes slightly and saw clearly that the person who found him was a beautiful girl in a white dress.

She looked at him with a smile: "Oh, aren't you the famous Master Qiban?"

"How did you know I was hiding here?" Master Qi Ban asked despite his despair, unable to suppress his curiosity.

At this time.

An old book flew out of the girl's waist bag with a "whoosh", and the pages turned wildly, accompanied by an angry and old voice.

"You evil disciple, you haven't made any progress in such a long time. You are still using the tricks I taught you."

"What?" Master Qi Ban was extremely shocked. "Master, Master, why are you here? How did you turn into a book?"

"Evil disciple, this is all thanks to you." The Book Fairy said angrily, "Also, your skills are too poor. You can't compare with Miss Qianqian at all."

Miss Qianqian?

Master Qi Ban stared at Wang Qianqian in astonishment: "You, you are Wang Qianqian? Great, I have wanted to meet you for a long time! I have to admit that your puppetry skills are far superior to mine."

His eyes were fixed with shock, joy, and an indescribable passion and longing.

Wang Qianqian was frightened by his look and quickly hid backwards.

It only takes a moment.

The deacon from the sect's law enforcement hall had already gathered with his disciples, captured Master Qi Ban, and escorted him to Lei Wuji's side.

Lei Wuji looked at Lu Haobo of the Lu family and said in a deep voice: "Master Lu, come here and identify him. Is this Master Qiban?"

"Master Qi Ban? Senior, please be wise. I really don't know any Master Qi Ban..." Lu Haobo kept defending himself, with an expression of being wronged on his face.

However, when his eyes fell on Master Qiban who was being escorted over, his voice of defense stopped abruptly and the expression on his face froze.

The air fell into an indescribable silence for a moment.

Lei Wuji's eyes also fell on Lu Haobo's face, as if he was examining something. However, the next moment, the expression on Lu Haobo's face became very interesting, as if he had figured out something, and he became shocked and unbelievable: "Old Qi! You, you are actually the master of Qi class?!"

"You, you, you, how could you be a wanted criminal? Oh, you have such good skills, how could you go astray?"

His face was filled with grief and he looked like an innocent victim who had been deceived and cheated.

He slapped his thigh several times in annoyance before he seemed to react. He quickly bowed to Lei Wuji and began to explain solemnly.

"Reporting to Hall Master Lei, this is indeed our chief refining technician Lao Qi, but the name he registered with my Lu Corporation is 'Qi An', not 'Qi Ban'. I never expected that he would be a wanted criminal on the blacklist, and besides our work relationship, he and I don't have any personal relationship."

"What?" Master Qi Ban's eyes widened.

Lu Haobo, you were calling me "master" all the time some time ago, and you even insisted on asking me to have a drink with you from time to time to keep in touch with you. But now, something has happened, and you are clearing yourself from the blame faster than anyone else.

It turns out that the children of aristocratic families are not trustworthy. They are not trustworthy.

In a short period of time, Master Qi Ban, who was stabbed in the back twice, felt increasingly disheartened.

The world is as dark as ever.

“Haha.” Lei Wuji chuckled twice. “Whether your Lu family is harboring wanted criminals, our sect’s law enforcement team will naturally investigate. You should deal with the remaining mess first. Afterwards, our law enforcement hall disciples will come to question you.”

After saying that, the entire Law Enforcement Hall arrived like thunder and left just as quickly, only taking away the owner of Shuiyue Tower, Lu Qingxuan, and Master Qi Ban.

As for the dirty dealings in the business world, the give and take, who wins and who loses, what does it have to do with the Law Enforcement Hall?
Wait until the Law Enforcement Hall leaves.

The people, who had suppressed their fear for a long time, could no longer contain their surging emotions and started to make noise again.

"Cancel the order! Lu, please cancel the order!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Soon, calls for refunds began again, and the crowd demanding refunds surrounded the ten refund counters again.

Lu Haobo rolled his eyes and felt like “Fuck it!”

The main culprits have all been arrested, and I'm left here to clean up the mess. What kind of thing is this?

Moreover, it is not just one or two orders that need to be refunded, but nearly five thousand orders, and all of them will be worth 100,000 spirit stones!

Most of the Lu family's spirit stones were used to build production lines, stockpile raw materials, and pay the high salaries of equipment refiners. How could they have so many spirit stones to return the deposit now?
Not to mention that there is no more, even if there is, Lu Haobo will never retreat. Once he retreats, the Lu family will have no chance of turning things around.

"quiet!"

At this time, Princess Yunyi suddenly stood up and took two steps forward.

"I am Wu Yunyi, the princess of the Great Wu Kingdom. Please be patient and let me and the representatives of the trading company talk to the head of the Lu family."

Her majestic voice spread outward under the influence of her true energy.

With her appearance, the excited crowd finally calmed down.

Everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on Princess Yunyi.

Princess Yun Yi's attention was not on them. Seeing that the emotions of the people below the stage had been calmed down, she led a group of business owners to the podium and surrounded Lu Haobo with unfriendly looks.

At this time, Lu Haobo already had a mentality of throwing away all hope. Since the situation was already rotten beyond repair, what else did he, Lu, have to be afraid of?

Without waiting for Princess Yunyi and the others to speak, Lu Haobo bowed deeply to them and begged with a sad face, "Princess Yunyi, please help us, Lu family. We have been deceived by Master Qiban and are now in a desperate situation. Please save us!"

"What?"

Princess Yun Yi was slightly stunned and thought to herself, what a guy.

It was clearly your Lu Qingxuan and Shuiyue Tower Master who coerced Master Qi Ban into doing the job, yet you actually turned the tables on them!
However, the princess was obviously not a pushover. Even though Lu Haobo acted very pitiful, she still said coldly and seriously: "Whether you, the Lu family, took the initiative or were passive, it has nothing to do with the outcome. Now I am not discussing with you, but notifying you."

"First, you, Lu Corporation, must properly handle the order cancellations. If anyone or any organization wants to cancel an order, you must cancel it unconditionally."

"Secondly, due to improper operations, Lu's company has been caught up in a number of negative storms, including public opinion storms, quality storms, and order cancellation storms. This has greatly weakened Lu's repayment ability and greatly increased the repayment risk. It meets the conditions of the loan agreement requiring 'early repayment'. Now we require you, Lu's company, to immediately return the loan of 200,000 spirit stones."

"Third, given that there are too many carefully constructed false data in the project materials you submitted, and that Lu's company has seriously violated regulations during the production process, resulting in serious quality problems in the final product, according to the investment agreement, we have the right to recover the investment of 100,000 spirit stones."

In this project, Princess Yun Yi borrowed 200,000 spirit stones and invested 100,000 spirit stones, a total of 300,000 spirit stones.

She came forward at this time, naturally hoping to protect the interests of Dawu Royal Manor and get all the money back.

As for what would happen after the Lu family returned these spirit stones, that was not something she could take into account.

Princess Yunyi had just finished speaking.

Lu Haobo nodded quickly and said, "Okay, no problem."

What?
At this point, the onlookers were all silent, the shop owners were all silent, and even Princess Yunyi looked at Lu Haobo in shock.

Originally, she thought that this matter would be a long one, and she had already made plans to forcibly collect the collateral and reduce the losses. Who would have thought that Lu Haobo would be so straightforward? !
Seeing this, Princess Yun Yi's expression softened a little.

It seems that Lu Haobo is a clear-headed person.

"But we have to do things one by one." Lu Haobo continued, "According to the loan contract of 200,000 spirit stones we signed, our collateral is 60% of the shares of Yixianfang City. I will transfer 60% of the shares to Her Royal Highness the Princess right now."

After saying that, he immediately ordered people to prepare the equity transfer agreement, without any intention of shirking the responsibility.

Previously, the Lu family had put up a lot of collateral, but after an internal evaluation, the Dawu Royal Manor believed that the most valuable asset of the Lu family at present was the equity in Yixianfang City.

Relying on the fact that Lu's family was in urgent need of spirit stones, the two sides bargained for a while and finally decided that Lu's family would use 60% of its equity as collateral to borrow 200,000 spirit stones from Dawu Royal Manor.

This is a very cost-effective deal for Dawuhuangzhuang.

After all, in order to obtain the 60% stake from the Cui family and other aristocratic families, the Lu family spent more than 200,000 spirit stones, and the owner of the Shuiyue Tower also had to resort to despicable means such as secret coercion.

Princess Yunyi should have been happy that things were going so smoothly, but Lu Haobo's overly straightforward attitude made her frown unconsciously, and she felt that something was not right.

"Haha~" Wu Yongliang laughed at the side, "Aunt, you have been hunting geese all day, but you were blinded by geese. After today's battle, Yixian Market has been completely defeated by Sheshan Market. The business will definitely become more and more depressed in the future. How many of your 200,000 spirit stones can you get back in the end?"

"Snapped!"

As soon as Wu Yongliang finished speaking, he was hit on the head.

Princess Yun Yi scolded angrily: "The spiritual stones I lost are not from the royal family. You are so heartless, why are you so happy?"

After scolding her nephew, Princess Yun Yi looked at Lu Haobo coldly and said, "What about my investment of 100,000 spirit stones? How do you explain this?"

"Your Highness, you have to ask yourself." Lu Haobo said calmly, "According to our loan agreement, if we can't pay back the money, we will have to transfer the shares to you. You are now the largest shareholder of Yixianfang City!"

"And our Yixiannu project is a project invested by Yixianfang City. Whether or not to return these 100,000 spirit stones, and how to return these 100,000 spirit stones, is naturally decided by you, the largest shareholder!"

Lu Haobo patted his chest and said passionately: "With your order, even if I, a worker, have to sell off my raw materials and assets at a low price, I will pay back the 100,000 spiritual stones investment from the Great Wu Royal Manor!"

"Beep!"

Princess Yunyi took two steps back, her eyes becoming dazed.

So I loaned money to myself and invested in this project, but ended up with a mess?

And the Lu family ultimately lost 60% of the shares in Yixianfang City. Can they get out of this mess and continue to live a peaceful life?
And if Lu Haobo really sold the raw materials at a low price, wouldn't the Yixian Market become an empty shell? Her 200,000 spirit stones would definitely be lost.

She was so angry that her teeth itched. She couldn't help but glare at Lu Haobo: "From what you said, it's up to me to decide whether to cancel the order or not?"

"Ahem, you are now the largest shareholder of Yixianfang City and the largest shareholder of the Yixiannu project. We, the Lu family, only have a mere 20% of the shares left." Lu Haobo said sincerely, "My decision does not count~"

This statement came out.

All the shop owners and the people in the audience turned their gazes to Princess Yun Yi, with deep sincerity in their eyes.

Especially the shopkeeper Tong of Nanliang State, who had been chatting and laughing with her before, was even more embarrassed: "Princess Yunyi, our business is just a small business, and it is difficult to turn over funds. Can you cancel our order first?"

Refund order!
What order do you want to return?

Princess Yunyi’s face turned dark.

If all 5,000 orders were to be refunded, not to mention where to get the spiritual stones to refund them, how much would Yixianfang City be worth after the refund? How much would the equity of Yixianfang City be worth?

Previously, she forced Lu Haobo to cancel the order, which was just a waste of other people's money.

Now that Princess Yunyi was asked to cut off her own flesh, she naturally was unwilling to do so.

Everyone knows that Princess Yun Yi is privately known as a "stingy woman". She will eat anything in her life except what she would suffer.

As her thoughts raced, Princess Yunyi took a deep breath and looked at Lu Haobo with some admiration: "Master Lu, you are truly a talent. In this desperate situation, you were able to think of a way out and throw the whole mess on my face."

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Lu Haobo smiled bitterly and said modestly, "I was forced to do this. After being forced for a while, this idea became more active."

"Then you should think more actively and see if there is any hope for our market." Princess Yun Yi frowned and said, "Let's revise the design of the Yixiannu and improve the quality. After all, our production line and raw materials are ready-made."

"Your Highness, this is all done by Qi Ban, no, it's the old Qi who I'm not very familiar with." Lu Haobo said helplessly, "How about you ask Hall Master Lei to release Old Qi and let him work for us? That's not right. Even if we get him back, the customers won't buy our jade slaves now. They will buy Chen's jade slaves instead."

Chen?

When Princess Yunyi heard the name, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She looked at Chen Jingyun who was watching the excitement not far away, and a gentle smile suddenly appeared on her face. She waved at him and said, "Master Jingyun, come on, let's chat. I have something good to talk to you about."

The corner of Chen Jingyun's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Your Highness, you just said that Lu Haobo is a talented person.

I think you are also a talented person.

Each of them is better at cleaning up a mess than anyone else.
