Kneel!
Many people in the Great Liang Kingdom have heard about Yue Ling...
The last thing they heard was that Yue Ling had appeared in Tuyang Town, hired an impersonator of Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe, and then there was no further news.
But at this moment, everyone was saying, "Screw you..."
There's still no news about Yue Ling... It would be a miracle if she were to be heard from by these two!
Moreover, rumors say that Yue Ling spent three hundred spirit stones to hire Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe... This rumor is definitely just a rumor...
Do you want to hear just how outrageous this is...? They can hire these two for only three hundred spirit stones?
Is spirit stone inflation really that high right now?
Forget three hundred, even if you told Chu Xinghe he'd give you three million spirit stones, do you think he'd be willing to help you?
Yue Ling had no idea what the others were thinking... But at that moment, Yue Ling felt dizzy and disoriented, and looking back on her journey, it all seemed like a dream!
The experiences along the way were truly bizarre!
And all the people I met along the way... like Tantai Jing...
When Yue Ling grabbed Tantai Jing, she actually sprayed Tantai Jing all over the face...
At the time, Yue Ling never dreamed that it was the real Tantai Jing. After all, how could such a true supreme master of the Demonic Sect be rebuked by a little girl Yue Ling?
What princess? Even if she really became the Empress of the Great Liang Kingdom, would someone like Tantai Jing?
At this moment, Yue Ling understood... Tantai Jing so honest not because of her, but because behind this fox who was borrowing the tiger's power were two real tigers!
Tantai Jing weren't because of himself, but because of the two fierce tigers behind him!
At this moment, Yue Ling's head was buzzing... She still wondered if this was all a dream...
Chu Xinghe didn't know if Yue Ling was confused or not, but at this moment, Chu Xinghe's mind was very clear!
When Yue Ling first told him that the fate of the Great Liang Kingdom was related to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Chu Xinghe's reaction was, "Yue Ling, do you want to hear what you're saying?"
Would people from the Vast Heaven Holy Land get involved in something like this? Are you trying to cause trouble?
However, after arriving in the Great Liang Kingdom and witnessing everything firsthand, Chu Xinghe knew that regardless of whether the events in the Great Liang Kingdom were orchestrated by the Vast Heaven Holy Land, it was absolutely impossible to say that they were unrelated to the Vast Heaven Holy Land...
The reason is simple... Just look at the fact that the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce withdrew from the Great Liang Kingdom; you know that this kind of thing could only have been done by someone within the Vast Heaven Holy Land, and that the person who did it was someone of high status...
What the hell? If I, Chu Xinghe, wanted to know all the secrets, why didn't I ask Wei Wuji? Why did I kill Wei Wuji?
Chu Xinghe... "The investigation you described is somewhat different from my investigation methods!"
You're saying the investigation involves a series of interconnected deductions, but ultimately there's only one truth, right?
Yours is a suspense drama... but my way of investigating things, Chu Xinghe, doesn't need any suspense; I go straight for the thriller route!
"Ma Liang!"
"Here!" Ma Liang stepped forward.
"Tell Qin Xiangqian to get his ass to me within two quarters of an hour. If he doesn't, he'll never see me again!"
"Yes!"
Ma Liang immediately activated the communication command... and after a moment, relayed Senior Brother Xinghe's orders to Qin Xiangqian verbatim.
Just a quarter of an hour after Ma Liang sent out the message, a beam of light from a teleportation array descended from the sky and landed directly in the imperial city of the Great Liang Kingdom. The next moment, the chubby Qin Xiangqian was seen tumbling and crawling into the court.
Qin Xiangqian n't know what was going on... but this was the first time he had ever heard Senior Brother Xinghe speak like that!
Qin Xiangqian wasn't stupid... Qin Xiangqian knew that Senior Brother Xinghe would never joke with him like that.
Therefore, something extremely important must have happened!
"Qin Xiangqian Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce greets Senior Brother Xinghe..."
At this moment, Qin Xiangqian, who was known as the God of Wealth of the Four Continents, approached Chu Xinghe with a respectful expression!
Kneel down!
Just as Qin Xiangqian was bowing, Chu Xinghe suddenly spoke. His shout to kneel down was like a thunderclap. In an instant, not only Qin Xiangqian, but all the civil and military officials of the Great Liang Kingdom, and even Yue Ling, knelt down!
In the entire imperial court, apart from Ma Liang was still standing there, no one else dared to stand at that moment!
Everyone says Chu Xinghe is very easy to talk to... It's common for disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land to joke and play around with their Senior Brother Xinghe!
But only Ma Liang knew... Senior Brother Xinghe didn't get angry easily, but once Senior Brother Xinghe did, even the ordinary elders of the Vast Heaven Holy Land dared not say a word...
Only senior elders, such as the Grand Elder, would dare to step forward and offer some advice!
This is the majesty that belongs only to Senior Brother Xinghe!
Playing around is fine, but don't joke about Senior Brother Xinghe's angry!
At this moment, with a shout of "Kneel down!", Yue Ling truly understood who the real Chu Xinghe was!
Throughout the journey, Yue Ling kept saying that Chu Xinghe didn't look like the real Chu Xinghe at all... But at this moment, Yue Ling realized that the real Chu Xinghe should be like this.
When he's relaxed, you'd think of him as a friendly older brother next door—so sunny and fun. Even if you joke around with him or tease him, he might get angry and turn red in the face, but in the end, he can just laugh it off...
But when he gets really serious, his aura can truly overwhelm everything!
Qin Xiangqian is known as the God of Wealth of the Four Continents... To put it Yue Ling, if nothing unexpected happens, Yue Ling might not even have the right to say a word to someone like Qin Xiangqian in her entire life.
After all, what kind of people are able to deal with Qin Xiangqian?
In Qin Xiangqian's eyes, the Great Liang Kingdom probably didn't even amount to much...
Therefore, Qin Xiangqian is usually seen as a truly high-ranking figure at the very top of the pyramid.
Even Qin Xiangqian, a top-tier individual, was trembling with fear when facing Chu Xinghe!
Cold sweat dripped continuously from Qin Xiangqian's nose onto the hall floor!
Even someone like Qin Xiangqian was so frightened by the word "kneel down" that he fell to his knees. Yue Ling, on the other hand, couldn't control her body and instinctively knelt down as well...
And this was the terrifying pressure that belonged to Chu Xinghe!
Ma Liang stepped forward and helped Yue Ling up from the ground. He then gave Yue Ling a shushing look. As for the other court officials, at this moment, they didn't even have the courage to raise their heads, let alone stand up.
Because this is Chu Xinghe!
"Qin Xiangqian, are you aware of the Haotian Chamber of Commerce in the Great Liang Kingdom?"
Chu Xinghe stood with his hands behind his back and slowly spoke.
"Reporting to Senior Brother Xinghe... Qin Xiangqian is willing to accept punishment!"
To be honest, Qin Xiangqian didn't know what had happened at that moment, but Qin Xiangqian knew that Senior Brother Xinghe was the most reasonable and protective person in the world. As Senior Brother Xinghe's second most trusted confidant, he would never do such a thing without a reason.
Therefore, it is certain that something must have happened in the Great Liang Kingdom to enrage Senior Brother Xinghe!
However, Qin Xiangqian didn't know what it was about, and faced with Senior Brother Xinghe's question... Qin Xiangqian understood that answering whether he knew or not would be meaningless!
Even if I knew absolutely nothing about it... that's still wrong. As the president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, if I, Qin Xiangqian, told Senior Brother Xinghe that I didn't know what happened to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce in the Great Liang Kingdom, Senior Brother Xinghe would kick me out of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce with just that one sentence!
As a general manager, if you don't know what's going on behind the scenes, you're unqualified!
Therefore, Qin Xiangqian had no choice but to accept the punishment!
"Qin Xiangqian, as the president of the Haotian Chamber of Commerce, how could you not know that the Haotian Chamber of Commerce of the Great Liang Kingdom withdrew without cause? Tell me, how did you become the president! Issue my order to strip Qin Xiangqian of his position as president of the Haotian Chamber of Commerce! However, considering his many years of merit in managing the Haotian Chamber of Commerce, he will temporarily take charge of it to observe his future performance. If he causes any further problems, he will be expelled from the Haotian Holy Land!"
After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, Qin Xiangqian's head had already slammed to the ground!
Qin Xiangqian knew that this punishment was already the most lenient thing Senior Brother Xinghe had done for him!
Although we still don't know exactly what happened, being stripped of his position but still forced to work to observe his performance is already an immense favor!
Qin Xiangqian thanks Senior Brother Xinghe for his kindness!
"All vice presidents of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce are stripped of their positions and demoted to branch presidents! Including you, you are not allowed to receive any resources or be promoted for five years!"
"Yes!" Qin Xiangqian had a bitter smile on his face... Lu Chengqing, Sima Bian, Shi Biao, and the others... were all punished along with him this time...
Although being unable to access resources for five years is not a big deal, it's clear that everyone disappointed Senior Brother Xinghe this time.
In the Vast Heaven Holy Land, no one is afraid of making mistakes or facing difficulties; what they fear most is disappointing Senior Brother Xinghe.
What the hell? Aren't the other people being unfairly accused?
Qin Xiangqian said he was not wronged at all... No matter what happens to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, the president is punished, but the vice president gets away with it?
If you enjoy the benefits and perks of being at a high position, you must also bear the corresponding responsibilities!
Not only the president, but also the vice president has the responsibility to oversee the entire Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce! So this punishment is entirely justified!
When something happens to any powerful organization, the principle of punishment is to punish those below them. No matter how big the matter is, after layers of investigation, they find a few minor culprits and that's considered the end of it!
But Chu Xinghe was never one to punish those below him; if someone below him caused a problem, Chu Xinghe would punish the person at the very top!
What? You, Qin Xiangqian, as the president of your Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, have nothing to do with your affairs when they get into trouble?
Goodness gracious... This chairmanship must be way too easy! The subordinates have to shoulder all the blame when something goes wrong? That's the kind of job you should be as chairman!
Chu Xinghe's principle is that no matter what happens, Qin Xiangqian and those vice presidents will be the first to be punished!
You have enjoyed the Supreme power that the president and vice president have given you, and you must also bear the risks and obligations that come with this position!
Qin Xiangqian naturally knew what kind of person Senior Brother Xinghe was. He could provide everyone with the highest benefits and treatment, but at the same time, if anyone dared to act recklessly, Senior Brother Xinghe would certainly not hesitate to slap them across the face!
All the senior executives of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce were punished!
When problems arise, Chu Xinghe's approach is to punish those in higher positions first, then hold those below accountable.
