"Zhuang Ming presented a precious jade to the emperor, and this sacred stone is an apology."

Zhuang Ming had a complex look on his face and said: "If it is really a sacred stone, if we make a pair and present it to the emperor in the name of the prince, the emperor must be even more happy..."

He looked at King Chen, a complex meaning gradually appeared on his indifferent face.

King Chen looked strange. He seemed to see a look of begging for mercy in Zhuang Ming's eyes.

It seems that these days are really difficult for the Zhuang Company, and he, Zhuang Ming, also knows that a disaster is coming, so he wants to use this thing to seek forgiveness?

With his thoughts turning like this, King Chen's expression remained the same as before.

There was no way he could spare Zhuang Ming.

No matter what treasure Zhuang Ming gives.

On the contrary, the more treasures Zhuang Ming gave, the more precious and shocking they were, the more murderous he became.

As long as he kills Zhuang Ming and seizes the trading company, then all the treasures in Zhuang Ming's treasure will belong to him. How can he give up a treasure for one treasure?

"Is there really such a thing?" King Chen remained calm and just responded.

"The people in Zhuang are just businessmen, how can they dare to deceive the prince? What's more, it is related to the emperor's birthday gift. If what he said is untrue, wouldn't it be a crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Zhuang Ming nodded and said: "There is indeed this thing in the warehouse, but I don't know if it is the same as the prince's thing... However, Zhuang didn't pay too much attention to it before, this thing is in the warehouse of Zhongding Mansion.

"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head, took out the seal, and said: "Manager Xue, I ordered you to keep this thing before. You use my token to get it quickly, and gather all the guards of Zhuang's Trading Company in the city to escort the treasure and present it to you."

Your Majesty."

A flash of confusion flashed through Xue Qing's heart, but he was so blessed that he immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

As Zhuang Ming waved, Xue Qingfang left quickly.

Zhuang Ming looked over again and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I don't know this thing. Can Zhuang take a look at it and identify it?"

——

King Chen looked calm, turned his head and said, "Fetch the treasure."

Since Zhuang Ming intended to offer a precious jade and a strange stone, he would not hesitate to lend the sacred stone to Zhuang Ming for a look.

Because he also wanted to know whether the sacred stone from Zhuang's Trading Company and the sacred stone he had worked so hard to obtain were really the same.

As King Chen's voice fell, a guard immediately followed the order and left.

At this moment, Zhuang Ming, who looked indifferent, had a strange look in his eyes.

King Chen ordered the guards to get the sacred stone, then turned his head and looked at Zhuang Ming.

When he gave the previous order, many thoughts went through King Chen's mind.

Today, Zhuang Ming is much weaker than before, a little abnormal.

But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable that Zhuang's trading company has been struggling to survive under his power recently, so it is understandable that he would beg for mercy.

The most important thing is that King Chen is also confident that this is a treasure dedicated to the emperor. Even if he is given a hundred courages, Zhuang Ming will not dare to do anything wrong.

Even if the gems and sacred stones mentioned by Zhuang Ming just now are all untrue, then this alone is enough to make a big fuss and accuse him of deceiving the emperor.

——

And at this time.

Xue Qing left the business alliance and headed to the store, but his heart was extremely shocked.

His expression changed, and there was a vague palpitation of a sudden change in the sky.

Because there is no such sacred stone in Zhuang's Trading Company!

At least, as the manager of Zhongding Mansion, he didn't know that Zhuang's Trading Company had such a sacred stone in Zhongding Mansion!

But the young master said that he would keep the sacred stone for himself and ordered him to get it.

This obviously has a deeper meaning!

"Gather all the guards from Zhuang's Trading Company in the city to escort the treasure?"

"Young Master, are you hinting to me that changes are about to happen? Are you afraid of the risk of violence and are you seeking to protect yourself?"

"Give me a seal as a keepsake. Does your son want me to summon all parties in his name?"

"Why do you act like this?"

"What will happen?"

Xue Qing felt uneasy in his heart, and his mouth felt dry.

The young master has always been prudent, but this time he invented a sacred stone out of thin air, in front of the public and in front of King Chen.

This is a grave sin!

To put it mildly, this is deceiving King Chen to his face!

More importantly, this sacred stone is presented as a birthday gift to the emperor. If someone makes a fuss about it, then this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!

The young master has always been prudent, and once said that a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall. No matter how big the interests are, he must be absolutely sure before he acts.

But today's actions are so abnormal?

What exactly does the young master want to do?

Xue Qing was quite confused.

But he has always been quick-witted, but he also knew that the young master must have a plan for this move.

And today, there will be a big change!

Before the Xuancheng Song Tianyuan Incident happened, the young master had ordered Lu He and Bai Qing to formulate a plan. With just one order, they could completely restrain Zhuang's trading company and minimize the losses.

Since the young master has hinted at him, today must have reached such a juncture.

"For the sake of safety, the shops and warehouses in Zhongding Mansion should be prepared in advance."

Xue Qing thought like this and hurried forward.

And he also vaguely felt that someone seemed to be following him behind him.

Are they the subordinates of King Chen, secretly following me?

Or are some of the businessmen present, motivated by the profit, sending people to follow them and plotting evil intentions?

Xue Qing felt a little uneasy, but a store of Zhuang's Trading Company was just ahead, and there were twelve guards there.

As soon as he arrives, he should start making preparations.

——

Twelve elite soldiers, wearing armor and steel swords, came in from the gate.

Among the twelve elite soldiers, there was another person with a solemn expression and slow steps, appearing cautious.

This man is holding something in his hands, covered with red silk.

Seeing such a scene, everyone present looked expectant.

Is that the sacred stone?

If it is true as King Chen said, it is truly a mysterious and unpredictable treasure.

King Chen went forward.

Twelve elite soldiers were divided into two columns.

The person holding the treasure held it up with both hands and slowly and cautiously sent it forward.

King Chen opened the red silk cover and saw a wooden box.

But those with sharp eyes can see clearly at a glance.

This is clearly made of rosewood.

"This is the sacred stone that the king sent to escort with heavy troops, and will be presented to the emperor as a birthday gift."

King Chen took the rosewood box and looked at everyone with a proud look.

Everyone's hearts are also quite complicated.

In comparison, King Chen's courtesy was the most important.

Thinking of this, some businessmen who just felt that they had been knocked off a fortune didn't feel so distressed anymore.

King Chen put his hand on the wooden box and said: "The sacred stone is so noble that it must be presented to the emperor before it can appear. But now that it is going to be shown in front of people here, I will not be stingy."

He said sternly: "You are all loyal and patriotic people who have made birthday gifts to the current Holy One, and you are also qualified to see the sacred objects."

These words have the flavor of trying to win people's hearts.

It also eliminates some uncomfortable thoughts in some people's minds.

Perhaps he felt that this would also make Zhuang Ming unhappy.

After all, in his opinion, Zhuang Ming came forward just to see this thing, but when this thing appeared, everyone could see it.
