protect our patriarch

……

This statement came out.

There was silence again inside and outside the store.

Everyone looked at Prince Yu as if they were looking at a fool.

Especially Duanmu Jinhua was even more excited.

Recently, Haotian Mining, in order to expand their business and reduce costs, not only ate the raw ore of gambling stones in the mining area under the Haotian Temple, but also invested huge sums of money to compete for the raw ore of other forces.

Nowadays, the total value of the raw stones hoarded in the store is as high as 2000 chaotic spirit stones.

Among them, only about 1000 chaotic spirit stones came from the store's own funds, and the other 1000 chaotic spirit stones were raised from the Duanmu family and the Baijun Taoist.

It is true that Haotian Mining is very profitable.

However, the profits earned by Haotian Mining have been mainly used to support the development of the Duanmu family and the Baijun Daoist for many years.

In the eyes of the bosses, this stone gambling shop is just a tool for making money.

If such a huge stockpile is sold according to the normal business model of the stone gambling shop, the price can reach about 4000 chaos spirit stones.

If you add unconventional methods such as cheating, shoddy, and defrauding people, it is not impossible to obtain more than 6000 Chaos Spirit Stones in total!

It does look like a huge profit.

But that's the total price.

In fact, the entire operation cycle of this batch of goods from purchase to sale will take at least seven to eighty years.

If the business is a bit slower, it is not uncommon for the turnover period to be delayed by more than a hundred years.

On average, the annual gross profit is around tens of chaotic spirit stones.

But right now, Prince Yan wants to book the venue, even if he sells it to him at a 3200% discount, he will still get 2000 souls, deducting about 1000 soul costs, at least a net profit of more than [-] souls!

With this profit plus principal, Haotian Mining can completely increase the price to purchase rough stones from other mining areas, killing colleagues.

But no matter how tempted Duanmu Jinhua was, he was still full of worries, and he didn't dare to agree easily.

Is this Prince Yu the easy-going generation?

This is a big business worth thousands of chaotic spirit stones. If the prince gets into trouble after suffering a loss, angers the boss of the Demon God Temple, and disturbs the Emperor Haotian, even the Taoist master of the White Army I can't eat and walk around.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Jinhua held back his greed. Not only did he not agree, but he patiently persuaded Prince Yan: "His Royal Highness, how dare we humiliate His Royal Highness and the Demon God Temple in our small shop? What do you think? If you are not satisfied, we can increase the compensation.”

"As for the charter... Well, according to the operating rules of the stone gambling world, you will definitely pay."

Obviously, Duanmu Jinhua didn't want to entangle with Prince Yan, the super second generation ancestor, and would rather suffer a little loss than send him away.

"I'm willing to lose money, do you care?" Tai Zihuan sneered and glanced at him, "Besides, how do you know that I will definitely lose money? Maybe the first two waves of losses will wipe out all my bad luck. Didn't it turn out that the second time we booked the venue, things turned out differently?"

Duanmu Jinhua was silent for a while.

To be honest, it is difficult for him to understand the thinking of a rich second generation ancestor like Prince Ji.

After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "His Royal Highness Ji insists on booking the venue. I have to say that ugly thing first. Our shop is not open for charity, it must be for making money."

"In this way, I will settle an account for His Highness first, and then you can decide whether to book the venue."

"Currently, we have a large inventory of rough stones in our store. Normally, the price is around 4000 souls. Your Highness, I will give you a 3200% discount, which is [-] souls."

"It is normal to sell this batch of goods for around 2000 Hunlings. If you are unlucky, it is possible to sell only over 1000 Hunlings. If you are lucky, you may be able to sell three or four thousand Hunlings."

These words were spoken very sincerely.

Many of the onlookers outside were colleagues or gamblers, and they were all deeply moved when they heard the words.

In order to dissuade Crown Prince Yan, Duanmu Jinhua has tried his best, even throwing out the foundation of the industry.

"Too much nonsense. Then use the 3200 Hunling to book the venue!" The prince was full of impatience, and he looked like he was rich and didn't care at all. "Hurry up, the prince is still waiting to hit the Shenying list~"

He also felt that it was a blood loss for the booking, but he couldn't stand the request from Goddess Qingli to continue booking. Anyway, he didn't lose his money.

He is not afraid of Goddess Qingli fooling him.

After all, how can the dignified prince Ji be easy to bully! ?
Duanmu Jinhua was overjoyed immediately.

He had already made the pros and cons so clear, but Prince Ji still insisted on booking the venue, and there were so many witnesses present, so even if he wanted to make trouble afterwards, he wouldn't take it for granted.

After all, although the Demon God Temple is powerful, and the Prince Ji is indeed rich and powerful, how can Haotian Temple be easy to provoke?

As long as justice is on his side, even if His Majesty the Demon God comes knocking on the door, the Haotian Sword Emperor will not allow him to mess around!

Duanmu Jinhua suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and his face was still full of demeanor: "Since Your Highness is so persistent, then naturally I have no reason to stop it."

After all, he waved his hand.

"Come here, book the venue for His Highness Yu!"

The guys in the shop immediately got to work.

Batch after batch of rough stones were transported to the lobby, and the clerks stopped doing foreign work, and continued to untangle the stones at the fastest speed.

And when the shop assistants were busy, more and more onlookers gathered outside the Haotian Mining Store to watch the excitement, and without knowing it, all the seats at the door were crowded.

This is a private room~!

Such a big bustle is extremely rare. It's a rare occasion to catch it. Almost all the prominent people in the big market came to watch, including a few big guys at the level of Hunyuan Dao Master.

Even the [Market Inspection Team], which is responsible for the order and safety of the entire market, was alarmed by the movement here, and came to watch and maintain order.

This [Market Inspection Team] is affiliated to the Haotian Temple and is led by a temple elder. His subordinates are all elites at the Da Luo Jinxian level, and their overall combat effectiveness is very powerful!
On weekdays, this team is stationed in the trading market and will not be dispatched easily.Whenever it is dispatched, it must be a big event.

With the addition of the market inspection team, the onlookers at the gate of Haotian Mining also became orderly, without the chaos at the beginning.

However, everyone's interest in eating melons has not diminished in the slightest.

Almost everyone was discussing excitedly, guessing how much money Prince Ji would lose this time.

That's right, just discussing how much money is lost, no one would think that the prince is so lucky that he can really make money.

In the final analysis, this kind of chartering is just sending money to the stone gambling shop.

However, as the clerk's progress in diagnosing the stone continued to advance, the crowd's discussion gradually became quieter, and the faces of everyone gradually became surprised, and then turned into shock.

However, what shocked them was not that those rough stones were sold out, in fact, the shipment rate of these rough stones was too low, really too low!
The rough stones in the hands of the clerks kept betting down, and then betting down again, it seemed that what they unraveled were not the original spirit stones, but real stones, and the shipment rate was so low that it was outrageous.

The first two small batches were enough to stretch the crotch, but the goods coming out of the private venue were even more crotch-stretching!

Gradually, the clerks gradually realized that something was wrong.

They unknowingly slowed down the speed of relieving stones, and looked at the shopkeeper one by one as if asking for help.

As for the shopkeeper, his eyes were wide open, and beads of sweat kept sliding down his cheeks.

Something happened, it was a big deal!

It's not that the first two small shipments are not in good condition, but that the entire large batch has problems!
Impossible, is this impossible? !What exactly went wrong? ! !

He couldn't figure it out.

Duanmu Jinhua's joyful mood gradually turned solemn.

A chill ran down his back, causing his scalp to tingle, his hair to stand on end, and even his body trembled unconsciously.

He has already reacted.

There is definitely something wrong with this batch!
Could it be that all of this was caused by the Prince Ji?
He looked at Prince Yu in horror, and was about to stop the clerk from diagnosing stones.

"Don't stop!"

Prince Yan's eyes turned cold, and he slammed the table to stop Duanmu Jinhua.

He squinted his eyes slightly, and his fierce eyes slowly swept across the faces of many shop assistants, his tone was extremely arrogant and domineering: "Whoever dares to stop, this prince will feed him to the Dragon King!"

He had naturally realized the problem at this time.

Although I don't know how to do it, it is obvious that it is absolutely inseparable from Goddess Qingli.

He was so happy~ It turned out that there was a huge problem with this batch of goods, no wonder Goddess Qingli dared to let him book the place!

good good good good!I was worried that I would not be able to catch your mistakes. Some tigers eat turtles and have no way to talk. Now~~
Like a ferocious beast that has endured hunger for a long time and finally found a wounded and bleeding prey, Prince Yan was so excited that his blood boiled all over his body, and his original amber eyes turned into dark golden animal pupils.

How can such a lore opportunity be missed? !

Duanmu Jinhua still needs to rely on the strength of the Hunyuan realm to resist.

But he never thought that just as the power on his body rose, a more terrifying and terrifying aura suddenly invaded, locked him firmly in an instant, and at the same time enveloped the entire stone gambling shop.

At the same time, a sneer full of anger spread throughout the stone gambling shop.

"How courageous! How dare you cheat in front of Your Highness Yan. Let me continue, and no one is allowed to stop unless His Highness calls for it to stop."

After the words fell, a figure in a gray robe appeared behind Prince Yan as if appearing out of thin air.

This figure is obviously the old man who drives the dragon king's flying chariot for the prince.

It's just that at this moment, he has changed from his previous low-key, his expression is cold and solemn, his whole body is full of coercion, and his whole aura is completely different.

The terrifying aura made everyone inside and outside the stone gambling shop feel a sense of suffocation, as if they were about to stop breathing.

Half-step Immortal Emperor level?

how is this possible! ?
Duanmu Jinhua suddenly felt fear running through his body, and his heart was extremely horrified.

The ostentation of Prince Yu going out is too big, and there is even a strong half-step immortal emperor secretly guarding him.

In fact, this is not a matter of Prince Yu's ostentation.

Although he pays attention to ostentation when he goes out on weekdays, his level is not so high.It's just that, this time, his original intention was to take revenge and win for Chang'er, so naturally he wanted to have more cards in his hole.

With half-step Immortal Emperor controlling the scene, Duanmu Jinhua and others naturally dare not make any mistakes, and those "clerks" also continued to speed up and untie the stone obediently.

As the progress continues, it is still a constant bet and a bet.

After more than half a day, all the raw stones worth "3200" mixed spirits in the entire store were finally unlocked.

The shopkeeper was forced to count the harvest, and his face became extremely pale: "In total, the total shipment value is about 289 souls!"

As soon as this data was announced, the crowd of onlookers immediately went into an uproar.

"How could it be so low? Haotian Mining is too dark!"

"Wow~ It turns out that this is a black shop, no wonder I have lost a total of 5 Chaos Spirit Stones after gambling for a hundred years."

"I'm a colleague. Although I knew Haotian Mining was black, I didn't expect it to be like this. Our normal gross profit is only [-]% to [-]% of the purchase price!"

"Money back! Money back!"

Many gamblers who had lost bets at Haotian Mining became angry and shouted.

"Wow!" Prince Yan slammed the table and stood up, bursts of fierce light appeared in the dark golden animal pupils, "The rough stone that is priced at 3200 souls after a 300% discount is only sold for [-] souls." No way! You guys are taking the crown prince as a fool~"

Normally speaking, if you spend 100 mixed spirits in a stone gambling shop, you choose the rough stone carefully, and you lose all your money when you open it, which can naturally be attributed to bad luck.

But this is a charter!
Under large-scale booking, the result has little to do with luck.

The quality of the original stone is often the only factor that affects the final result of calculus.

This is also the reason why gamblers often pay attention to which mining area the rough stone comes from when gambling on stones.

Because the quality of rough stones in a mining area is often the same, and will not change at will.

The better the overall quality of the mining area, the greater the probability of winning the bet on the rough stone produced.

But no matter how bad the mining area is, the quality of the rough stone is not so bad.Such a low shipment rate is simply shocking.

Apart from the problem with this batch of rough stones, there is almost no other explanation!

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Duanmu Jinhua's eyes were also dull and frightened, and his heart was uncertain.

Could this be a situation set up by Prince Yu?However, these rough stones are purchased and stored by themselves in their store, and even the price of each piece of rough stone is set by the store itself.

Under such circumstances, if you want to do tricks, even if Prince Yan has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to do it~
Duanmu Jinhua had so many thoughts in his mind that he couldn't figure it out no matter what, but he also knew that the matter had developed to such a point that he could no longer solve it.

Immediately, he repeatedly crushed the communication jade talisman and notified the family and the White Army Taoist master!
At worst, they had to be psychologically prepared so that they could withstand the next shock.

"Come here~ smash this black shop to the prince!" The prince was so angry that he had lost his mind, "after the shop is smashed, the prince will go to you Duanmu family to settle accounts! I will find you in the Haotian Temple Settle accounts!"

As for the 3200 mixed spirit booking fee, hehe~~ This is a well-documented butcher shop, why pay the fart?
however.

Just when a group of thugs following Prince Yan were gearing up and preparing to smash the store, the melon-eaters were also preparing to follow, and came to a "zero yuan purchase".

People from the market inspection team came out and stopped them.

The reason is also very simple.Haotian Mining is only suspected of slaughtering customers, and further investigation is needed to find out what the situation is.

After all, theoretically speaking, it is possible that after the appraisal by the master appraiser, the goods worth 2000 souls are only worth 300 souls in the end.

Prince Yu is not someone to be messed with.

Immediately, he was ready to have a fight with the market inspection team.

Anyway, with his side of the story, he won't be afraid no matter how big the issue gets.

Seeing a violent conflict about to break out.

Suddenly.

A majestic voice sounded: "Stop!"

After the words fell, Jun Hao, who had been lurking on the side for a long time, finally appeared on the stage, standing between the market inspection team and Prince Yu.

"I have seen God Son Junhao."

The leader of the market inspection team—the Elder Chongyang saw that it was him, and immediately saluted him politely.

But the attitude of the prince next to him was very unfriendly.

He looked up and down at God Son Jun Hao with a provocative gaze: "So it's God Son Jun Hao~ Why, you want to cover up this black shop?"

God Son Jun Hao glanced at him, did not answer, but looked at Duanmu Jinhua: "Senior Jinhua, what happened?"

Duanmu Jinhua saw his son of God coming, as if seeing a savior, hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "His Royal Highness Jun Hao, we are wronged~ wronged~"

Normally, he would not be so polite to God Son Jun Hao, but now, he didn't care so much, and his tone was as polite as he could be.

While calling for injustice, he quickly said the matter again, and there were many hints in his words, among which it should be the crown prince who was playing tricks, deliberately planting the blame.

Although he doesn't know exactly how Prince Yu set the blame and frame him, he doesn't need God Son Jun Hao to really find out about this matter. When you arrive, everything will be no problem.

After hearing this, God Son Jun Hao was really angry.

He frowned and stared at Prince Yan, and angrily reprimanded: "Prince Yan, how dare you wrong our Haotian Temple for opening a black shop?"

"Hahaha~" Prince Yan also smiled angrily, "What do you mean I wronged you for opening a black shop? Today's incident, with so many eyes staring at it, I can't just say I'm wronged. Son of God, you really If you want to protect this black shop, don't blame me for not giving you face."

Unexpectedly, God Son Jun Hao seemed to be insulted when he heard the words, and he seemed even more angry than him: "You can insult this God Son, but the reputation of our Haotian Temple for countless years cannot be insulted! Our Haotian Temple has always been open and fair, categorically It is impossible to cheat. Today, I will prove it to you!"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at the captain of the market inspection team behind him.

"Elder Chongyang!"

"I'm here." Elder Chongyang took a step forward and bowed slightly.

"Investigate! Today we must investigate and find out the truth, and return my Haotian Temple's innocence!" Jun Hao's face was righteous, his whole body was full of momentum, and he was as sharp as an unsheathed peerless sword, "Inspection team, seal it up immediately All the accounts of Haotian Mining should be checked on the spot! Let the entire fairy world take a look, there will never be any problems with the property under the name of Haotian Temple."

"Here!"

Elder Chongyang's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that something big had happened.

However, the matter has come to this point, with the Crown Prince Yan and God Son Jun Hao staring at the scene, and countless people watching outside, he does not dare to risk the disgrace of the world, and at this time get into trouble with God Son Jun Hao.

At the moment, he had no choice but to lead the inspection team to search Haotian Mining.

Unexpectedly.

His side had just started the search, and God Son Jun Hao suddenly said, "In order to prove the innocence of the Haotian Temple, please Prince Yu and God Son supervise the search together."

"Okay, the prince will supervise with you and see how dark this store is."

Prince Yu climbed along the pole, and together with God Zi Junhao, Dang even supervised the inspection team's search.

Under such circumstances, even if the inspection team wanted to cover up one or two things for Haotian Mining, they would have no chance.

Soon, all ledgers were moved to the lobby.

Later, under the "unintentional guidance" of God Son Jun Hao, the inspection team found out several well-hidden secret rooms.

The size of the secret room is not small, and there are many "spiritual stones" piled up in different categories.

God Zi Jun Hao and Prince Yu specially asked someone to appraise it, and found that the original stones of the spirit stones were all man-made fakes.

Of course, the rough stone itself is the real rough stone, and the fake refers to the fake appearance.

There are two main directions of counterfeiting. One is to forge an excellent appearance through artificial means, making people feel that the appearance of top-quality goods can be produced inside.The second is to forge some fake products with real Lingshi inside by splicing.

As a large number of fake products were detected, the crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.

Duanmu Jinhua's face became even more ugly, and the shopkeeper and the shop assistants were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

"God Son Jun Hao, what else do you have to say?" Prince Yu glanced at God Son Jun Hao, his eyes full of sarcasm, "It seems that your Haotian Temple is not that clean."

Probably due to the refreshment of body and mind, at this moment, his dark golden animal pupils have turned amber again, and he has a noble and lazy look.

On the other hand, Shenzi Jun Hao seemed to be stimulated, and his face turned blue and white.

He was so "angry" that he grabbed the shopkeeper and his voice seemed to be tempered with ice: "Tell me! What's going on?!"

"Don't try to get away with this matter! If you tarnish the reputation of my temple, it will definitely alarm my master! If you explain in advance, I will give you a chance to redeem yourself!"

The shopkeeper was scared out of his wits, and immediately explained everything in public.

Duanmu Jinhua didn't stop even if he wanted to.

It turned out that the two fake rough stones were props used to lure gamblers.

Fake products with spirit stones inside can be used to give gamblers a taste of sweetness, making them gradually lose themselves in successive profits.

The former is the ultimate weapon used for massacre!
When some target "fat sheep gamblers" lose red eyes, they also provide loan gambling funds to further lock them in.As the trap gets deeper and deeper, even gamblers with good backgrounds will inevitably end up in a situation of bankruptcy in the end.

Shocking!

Even God Son Jun Hao, who already knew the danger in it, couldn't help but feel angry when he heard these tricks of manipulating people's hearts, and his anger turned to the gallbladder.

"Snapped!"

He directly slapped his Quasi-God Son Token on the table.

"Investigate! Thoroughly investigate! I will investigate this matter to the bottom today! Whoever dares to cover up and cover up, the quasi-God Son will immediately summon Master to preside over the overall situation!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Seeing this, Elder Chongyang and others immediately gave up their illusions and decided to take the crime and make meritorious service.

He was just taking some benefits, turning a blind eye and turning a blind eye. Even if he was found out, when Qiu Hou settled the score, the crime would be far less serious than Duanmu's.

And at this time, the shocked expressions on the faces of the onlookers outside the Stone Gambling Shop finally faded away, and turned back into expressions of eating melon with relish.

They didn't expect that the plot would be so twists and turns just because they just came to watch a stone bet.

I dare not write like this in the script~!
Moreover, after today's trouble, Haotian Mining is completely over, and even the Duanmu family behind it is in big trouble~

Even the Baijun Daoist, who is related to their family by marriage, might be affected.

******
a few days later.

[Haotian Mining Case] ​​is still continuing to dig deeper, and the resulting wave of public opinion is also wave after wave, sweeping through Haotian City like a violent wind and waves. , Wang Lici and the three of them are fine for the time being.

Naturally, they didn't continue to stay at the gambling stone shop.

now.

Taihaotian's No. [-] Food Court - Haotian Pavilion.

In a very luxuriously decorated box.

"Brother Jun Hao, people thought they would never see you again."

"Sister Yun'er! No, no, we two will never be separated forever."

God Zi Jun Hao was so excited holding a sword that he couldn't help it, tears rolled in his eyes, as if seeing a lover whom he hadn't seen in three lifetimes.

They told each other heartfelt words, such as "Brother Jun Hao is the best in the world", "You are my number one sister", etc., they kept spitting out their own words like they didn't want money.

Goddess Qingli and Wang Lici watched this scene with goosebumps all over their bodies.

The former couldn't take it anymore, frowned, and suddenly looked at Wang Lici next to him pretending to be suspicious: "Sister Lici, if brother Jun Hao picked up a half-step sword, Ding Yun would still be his first sword." Sister?"

Wang Lici hasn't answered yet~

God Son Jun Hao on the other side has already glared over: "Girl Qingli, go, go~ Don't make trouble."

"Brother Jun Hao, is what she said true?"

"How is it possible? Let alone a half-step divine sword, even if it is a divine sword, sister Yun'er will always be my number one sister."

"Brother Jun Hao, you are so kind."

Then, in order to prevent Sister Qingli and Sister Lici from making trouble again and affecting his relationship with Dingyun Daojian, Jun Hao hurriedly changed the subject and thanked them: "You two sisters, thanks to you this time, That’s why I redeemed Sister Yun’er. To express my gratitude, I’ll treat you to another meal.”

"However, I have agreed in advance that the meal price cannot exceed 100 chaotic spirit stones! You all have to save some money for my cultivation~"

In this wave, Jun Hao made a lot of money, and his bold and hearty demeanor was reborn again.

"This time, there is no need for Brother Jun Hao to spend money." After hearing the words, Qingli Goddess declined, "Today I already have a patron for the treat."

"Who?" God Son Jun Hao suddenly became more vigilant.

"Of course it's the prince."

A hearty and heroic voice sounded.

God Son Junhao immediately followed the sound.

Surrounded by several stunning beauties, Prince Yan was seen walking towards them swaggeringly.

There was a spring-like smile on his face, and his brilliant blond hair swayed slightly with his walking movements, flamboyant and unrestrained.

The armor on his body was also changed at some point, and replaced with a black armor with red patterns, which looked more flamboyant than the previous black armor, and it also matched his temperament better.

"Goddess Qingli, Goddess Lici, just eat today, even if this Haotian Pavilion is eaten up, the prince will not feel bad."

"By the way, I heard that Goddess Lici loves to eat brains. Your friend, my crown prince has made a decision. I specially brought two sets of dragon brains, let's eat together."

After finishing speaking, Crown Prince Yan took a provocative look at Shenzi Jun Hao, with obvious contempt in his eyes.

That look seemed to be saying "the poor ghost crawls"!
The gazes of the two met in mid-air, and violent sparks erupted immediately.

……
