To put it bluntly, in the eyes of businessmen, there is only profit. If the benefits are in place, who cares about face and favors?
What's more, the so-called face and favor between them is originally a very illusory thing. After all, these businesses have a competitive relationship with each other. Even if there is favor, how much favor can there be?
Even though your Xu family has a big surname in the capital, there are still families in the capital that are more powerful than the Xu family. If you offend a Xu family, the sky will not fall.
However, Xu Rong did not expect that these guys would do things so brilliantly. As soon as Su Chen took out Yuzedan, these guys immediately chose to switch sides.
You know, Xu Rong had already spread his lies just now. If Su Chen could buy the necessary materials at this fair, he, Xu Rong, would imitate a dog and crawl around the square three times!
But in the current situation, these merchants are queuing up to deliver materials to Su Chen. This time, Xu Rong is embarrassed.
"Eh? Xu Rong, where are you going?"
Just when Xu Rong was about to leave the scene secretly without disturbing others, there happened to be a meddler who pointed at his back and shouted.
Of course, this person definitely did it on purpose. When he saw Xu Rong trying to escape, he deliberately yelled at him.
After being yelled at, Xu Rong could no longer escape and froze in place in embarrassment, looking very embarrassed.
The expression on Xu Rong's face was as if someone had just dumped a basin of excrement on his face. He was as tangled as he wanted to be, and as embarrassed as he wanted to be.
"I...I just need to go to the toilet."
Xu Rong said bravely.
And this lame excuse also attracted ridicule from the entire audience.
Obviously, everyone knows that this is just an excuse made by Xu Rong. In fact, he just planned to slip away.
"Xu
Rong, it seems that the big words you just uttered are not very effective."
Su Chen also smiled at this time and said, "I thought that your Xu family could really bully the market and control the entire raw material market in the royal capital. But now it seems that you are still trying to make a fool of yourself!"
"You...don't be too arrogant!"
Xu Rong's face turned the color of pig liver and he shouted.
"Who was so arrogant just now? Saying that if I buy what I need at this large fair today, you will bark like a dog and crawl around here three times?"
Su Chen shrugged and said, "Now, are you going to fulfill your promise and climb up here three times? Or should I find a rope and lead you for a walk three times?"
"you……"
It was obviously the first time for Xu Rong to lose such a big face. His face suddenly turned the color of pig liver again, and he sent various help signals to the surroundings miserably, hoping that the people around him would help him out.
But at this time, who will help him out?
Our friendship with each other is limited, so if we just help him bully the helpless foreigner, that might be okay.
But now, knowing that this foreigner holds precious elixirs, whoever speaks for Xu Rong is a fool.
As the saying goes, if a wall falls and everyone pushes, in the current situation, although no one took the initiative to push, the expressions on everyone's faces clearly showed that they were just watching the excitement, which is not much different from that of a wall falling and everyone pushed.
"That's all, they are all a bunch of guys who are unjust and unjust!"
This Xu Rong got a stick in his neck and acted like a rogue, "Boy, you can just kill me with a sword. If you want me to
Don’t even think about people from the Xu family bowing their knees!"
After hearing what Xu Rong said, many people present were speechless. They knew that Xu Rong was just acting like a rogue and did not really want Su Chen to kill him with a sword.
Because he is a member of the Xu family, who would really kill a member of the Xu family with a sword in front of everyone? Wouldn't that be causing trouble for himself?
When Xu Rong said this, he was obviously cheating. It was equivalent to saying, I just don't fulfill my promise, what can you do to me?
"a shame!"
Just when everyone was speechless at Xu Rong's rogue tricks, suddenly, a cold scolding sound came from a distance.
The next moment, a middle-aged man strode over. He was wearing a black robe and had a somewhat majestic face.
"It's Mr. Lu!"
Seeing this middle-aged man in black robe approaching, everyone quickly saluted.
At the same time, many people also had expressions of gloating on their faces, because this middle-aged man in black robe was the general person in charge of today's large-scale trade fair and the envoy of the royal family.
Xu Rong was acting rogue and was spotted by the royal envoy. He was also scolded. He was probably going to be in bad luck!
"Master Lu!"
Xu Rong was so excited that he quickly met the middle-aged man in black robe and said in a flattering tone, "You are here!"
"snort!"
The middle-aged man in black robe, who was called Mr. Lu, cast his cold eyes on Xu Rong and said coldly, "I have always heard that the Xu family's behavior in the royal capital is very domineering and has caused dissatisfaction among many people. It seems that the rumors are true.
Ah. You all dared to disrupt order at the trade fair held by the royal family, which shows how courageous you are!"
"me……"
Seo Young-myeon
His expression suddenly changed, and he wanted to defend himself, but after opening his mouth several times, nothing came out.
You must know that Mr. Lu works for the royal family. He is just a collateral member of the Xu family. What qualifications do he have to contradict the royal family?
"Master Lu, I didn't..."
Xu Rong said weakly.
"you have not?"
Master Lu's gaze was like a sharp sword, directed at Xu Rong, and said calmly, "Who was yelling and disrupting the market order just now? Did you think I didn't see what happened just now?"
Xu Rong was speechless, his face was ashen, his legs were shaking unconsciously, and he almost cried.
"Someone is coming!"
Master Lu shouted, and a group of royal guards immediately came out from behind.
"Drag this guy who disrupts the order of the trade fair and give him a hundred punishments!"
Master Lu ordered without any emotion.
"Ah! Don't fight, don't fight!"
Xu Rong's face turned pale and he cried and begged. He was beaten with a hundred sticks, which meant that he would be crippled.
"Master Lu, I am a member of the Xu family, and my uncle is one of the shopkeepers of Shennong Hall. Please don't hit me. I will ask my uncle to prepare a gift later to thank you."
Xu Rong yelled, trying to clarify his background in order to escape the hundred sticks.
"If you say one more thing, I'll add another hundred sticks!"
However, Mr. Lu didn't take his advice at all and just said lightly.
Although his words were not loud, Xu Rong immediately closed his mouth tightly after hearing it, for fear that if he said anything else, he would make Master Lu unhappy and add another hundred sticks.
