Chapter 1335: Please move the head of the tower (Part 1)
Zhen nantian cast a sidelong glance at the head shopkeeper. In fact, he was well aware of who was the instigator.
All the precious items had to go through the head shopkeeperâs eyes. He was the only one who had the opportunity and the courage to replace a customerâs items.
âHead shopkeeper, according to the rules of the moonview restaurant, shouldnât this appraiserâs body be hung in public for the purpose of snatching a customerâs item?â Zhen nantian said indifferently.
The words âhanging corpses in publicâ made the head shopkeeperâs heart flutter, but his expression was as calm as ever.
Zhen nantian, donât talk nonsense. Swapping a guestâs things is a big matter. We need detailed evidence to be certain. The head shopkeeperâs clone that was in charge of the full moon restaurant shouted in a dignified manner.
âIf you have evidence that is enough to prove that he has switched things, I will not tolerate it! But if you donât, your actions will ruin the reputation of the full moon restaurant, and I will Sue you to the tomb keeper.â
Zhen nantianâs words didnât seem like he was trying to uphold justice. He was clearly threatening Zhen nantian to stop.
âHmph! What kind of person is young master Xia, would he frame our full moon Pavilion?â Others might not understand Xia qingchen, but how could Zhen nantian not?
However, he still looked at Xia qingchen with a serious expression, hoping that he would provide evidence.
Just as the head shopkeeper had said, swapping a customerâs things was a major incident, and evidence was absolutely needed.
âWhat kind of evidence do you need?â Xia qingchen asked.
Zhen nantian said,âfor example, if a third person was present, or if there were other things that could prove that this is not yours ..â
âDo you think that such evidence exists?â Xia qingchen asked calmly.
According to the procedures of the moon Pavilion, there was no third party present when the treasure was appraised. The moon Pavilion would not allow unrelated people to approach the appraisal site.
As for how to prove that this item didnât belong to him, how?
The so-called evidence was simply impossible to find. This was why the head shopkeeper was so confident in wanting evidence.
âSince thereâs no evidence, then itâs a frame-up to extract money from the moonview restaurant!â The head shopkeeper berated sternly.
âIn the hundreds of years of our moonview restaurantâs reputation, when have we ever switched customers?â The head shopkeeper waved his hand and the guards in the hall came over.
He looked at Xia qingchen and coldly said, â since you are young and ignorant, you can either leave immediately and stop causing trouble, or you will be sentenced to death according to the rules of the moonview restaurant for your slander!
As the head shopkeeper of the moon Pavilion, he did have the right to execute such guests.
The so-called capital punishment was usually to cut off a hand or cut off the tongue. The punishment was quite serious.
Xia qingchen laughed lightly, his smile as light as the wind. âI advise you to return my things, or you wonât be able to bear the consequences.â
To Xia qingchen, a piece of blood serpent stone actually wasnât much.
Without it, he still had other things that he could exchange for a large amount of Black Moon coins.
However, wasnât it about fighting for oneâs pride in life?
She had switched his things and even accused him of being a scammer.
If this breath could not be smoothened, it was inevitable that there would be obsessions in his heart, and it would be difficult to calm his heart in future cultivation.
âGood!â The head shopkeeper shouted. Since you refuse to come to your senses, then donât blame the full moon Pavilion for treating you sternly! Men, take him down!â
At this moment, how could Zhen nantian not step out?
He threw the appraiser out and smashed him into the guards who were charging at him. In an instant, they were all smashed.
âZhen nantian, what are you doing? Is he a scammer?â The head shopkeeper shouted sternly.
Zhen nantian didnât say a word. He took out a fiery red jade pendant and said with a cold expression, ââI want to ask tower master to make a judgment!â
The many shopkeepers of the moonview restaurant had their own duties and did not interfere with each otherâs business.
However, if there were any conflicts that couldnât be resolved, the higher-ups would appear to mediate.
This was to prevent the fight between the managers from ruining the tingxue houseâs normal business.
Hearing this, the head shopkeeperâs heart trembled. He forced himself to calm down and said, ââSecond shopkeeper, isnât it making a mountain out of a molehill to ask the tower master to make a decision for such a small matter?â
âIf we disturb his peaceful cultivation, you and I will not be able to bear the consequences.â
Zhen nantianâs aged face was filled with stubbornness, ââIâd rather be punished than let young master Xia be wronged.â
Putting aside the fact that Xia qingchen had once shown him and his granddaughter, Zhen zhilan, an indescribable kindness.
Moreover, he was the one who had brought Xia qingchen here to appraise the treasure. In the end, the head shopkeeper had actually exchanged Xia qingchenâs items. Wasnât this slapping his face publicly?
It was enough to show that the head shopkeeper didnât put him in his eyes at all.
He had to fight to the end, no matter what.
âVice shopkeeper, if your friend really wants to extort some money, I can pay him 10 Black Moon coins out of my own pocket. Is that enough?â The head shopkeeper didnât want the tower master to get involved in this matter.
He didnât really understand. What was the relationship between Zhen nantian and Xia qingchen? was there a need to ask the pavilion Lord to help?
The shopkeeperâs invitation to the tower Lord to appear was not without a price.
Back then, Zhen nantian had worked hard to become the second shopkeeper from the fourth shopkeeper. He had relied on his achievements every year.
But now, he had given up on his achievements and insisted on asking the tower master. This was completely unexpected.
If he had known earlier, he would have stopped han xiangdong when he took the blood serpent stone.
Now that he was riding a Tiger, he couldnât stop, so he could only hold on until the end.
A hint of hesitation appeared on Zhen nantianâs face. He then turned his gaze toward Xia qingchen. âWhat are you going to appraise?â
If it was only worth 10 Black Moon coins, it would be better to give up and it would be better for both sides.
After all, 10 Black Moon coins was a huge sum of money, and it was impossible for ordinary people to get it.
âThe blood serpent stone should be about the same size as this red iron ore,â Xia qingchen replied calmly.
Hearing that it was a blood serpent stone, Zhen nantian was about to let out a sigh of relief. A blood serpent stone of the usual size was not even worth ten Black Moon coins.
It seemed that the head shopkeeper had given in and taken the initiative to return the money to settle the matter.
However, the latter half of the sentence made Zhen nantianâs eyes widen. He couldnât help but look at the red iron ore.
For a moment, he even suspected that Xia qingchen was here to extort money.
He had seen the blood serpent stone many times, and the biggest known stone in the world was the size of a fist. How could there be such a huge one?
However, based on his intuition, which had helped him many times, he still chose to believe in Xia qingchen.
Moreover, if it was really an item of ordinary value, the head shopkeeper wouldnât need to risk swapping it.
Zhen nantianâs face was tense, and he held the Jade pendant tightly, ââHead shopkeeper, letâs wait for the tower masterâs judgment!â
After he finished speaking, before the head shopkeeper could stop him, he crushed the Jade pendant.
A fiery red light pillar immediately rushed out of the Jade pendant and arrived a thousand feet above the moonview restaurant.
The scene of the pillar of light rising into the sky could be seen from almost every corner of the entire glittering jewel Island.
Seeing this, the head shopkeeperâs mind was finally in a mess. He glared at the head shopkeeper in exasperation.âIâm not done with you!â
Near the abyss, in a luxurious villa close to the tomb of the human Emperor, there was a sudden explosion, as if Thunder had appeared.
As far as the eye could see, a red-haired brawny man with a flat chest stepped on lightning and rushed over with a powerful aura.
