After putting all the blame on Lin Xiaodong, the Qiao family breathed a sigh of relief and sneered as they waited for the special envoy to make the verdict.
It would be best to just push Lin Xiaodong out and chop him with a knife! Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Xiaodong, muttering that this kid is finished! Lin Xiaodong, however, walked forward calmly and said calmly: "The Holy Crystal was originally
Is there any need to steal my belongings?"
"How dare you dare to quibble in front of the special envoy?"
"Hurry up and admit your crime and beg the special envoy for mercy. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
"This traitor has never been a good person. We can't let him go. It's better to kill him to eliminate harm to the people!"
The Qiao family had no good feelings toward Lin Xiaodong, and wished that Lin Xiaodong would die.
"Special envoy, he is the thief, hurry up and punish him!"
Qiao Sheng looked proud and pointed at Lin Xiaodong.
As soon as Lin Xiaodong came forward, special envoy Shi Fu walked down the stage neatly.
He quickly walked up to Lin Xiaodong and was about to salute, but was stopped by Lin Xiaodong with his eyes. He didn't want to reveal his identity now! As Shi Fu was the housekeeper of the King's Palace, his ability to observe words and emotions was certainly very strong.
He quickly put away his identity, turned to Qiao Shan behind Lin Xiaodong, and saluted: "Miss Qiao, congratulations, you will get a place to search for mineral veins!"
The whole audience was shocked! "What's going on?"
The Qiao family was completely confused.
"Sir Special Envoy, I gave you the Saint Quartz, why don't you give me the quota?"
Qiao Sheng was a little angry and stretched his neck to question.
"I will decide the quota. I can give it to you whoever I like. Can you control it?"
Shi Fu glanced sideways at Qiao Sheng, seriously showing no mercy at all.
"However, Qiao Shan is just a branch of our Qiao family. Just like the servants, she is not qualified to represent our Qiao family!"
Qiao Sheng was so angry that his nose was crooked.
"Miss Qiao only needs to represent herself, and she doesn't need to represent your Qiao family, you know?"
Shi Fu handed the Saint Crystal to Qiao Shan and said with a smile: "This should belong to Miss Qiao, please take it back!"
Qiao Shan looked at a loss. She never expected such a result. She was really flattered that the special envoy was so fond of her! "Thank you, special envoy, but this holy crystal is a gift for you. How can I have the nerve to take it?"
go back!"
Qiao Shan did not dare to catch the Saint Crystal and looked at Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong blinked a few times, hinting to Qiao Shan to take the Saint Crystal back.
"This is something that the Qiao family used to rob from you. I can't take it, otherwise I will be as despicable and shameless as them. Please accept it!"
After Shi Fu knew that this was Lin Xiaodong's thing, if he dared to accept it, he had to return it.
"Then I'd rather obey your orders than respect you, so I'll accept it!"
After getting Lin Xiaodong's signal, Qiao Shan boldly accepted the Saint Crystal.
The Qiao family were completely dumbfounded and couldn't figure out why Qiao Shan was treated so well by the special envoy?
"Special envoy, these two are really thieves! Why don't you punish them?"
Qiao Sheng was still unwilling to give in and openly complained about Shi Fu's unfairness! Shi Fu slapped Qiao Sheng in the face with his backhand.
"Bold, who do you think you are, are you qualified to judge the decision?
Someone is coming, throw their family out!"
Shi Fu couldn't bear it anymore.
A group of city lord's palace guards immediately rushed out and dragged all the Qiao family members out! The guests whispered and laughed at the Qiao family members.
The Qiao family was completely humiliated this time and returned home in disgrace.
"I gave you a chance but you didn't use it. You couldn't even accomplish such a small thing?
Yesterday you promised me that you would definitely get a place. What was the result?
I was so excited that I ran to the city lord's mansion, but what I got in return was humiliation, I'll beat you to death!"
As soon as he got home, Qiao Zhen couldn't hold back his anger and started beating and scolding Qiao Sheng.
"Dad, stop fighting.
This has nothing to do with me, Qiao Shan must be working with Lin Xiaodong secretly."
Qiao Sheng held his head and pretended to be pitiful, shouting.
"Isn't it your boy who handed the Saint Quartz to the special envoy?
What tricks can they pull off?"
Qiao Zhen hated that iron could not become steel, and was so angry that he was shaking.
The Qiao family stood with their heads downcast, all like eggplants beaten by frost.
"I...I was stopped outside the door yesterday. I could only give the Saint Quartz to Butler Li and ask him to help deliver it to the special envoy.
I now feel that Qiao Shan and Lin Xiaodong must have bribed Butler Li to plot against us!"
Qiao Shenghuo squatted on the ground and timidly told the truth.
"What?
You didn't hand over the Saint Quartz to the special envoy yourself?
No wonder there is no quota for our Qiao family, you kid has obviously been cheated!"
Qiao Zhen was furious after hearing this and punched and kicked Qiao Sheng.
If Qiao Sheng were not his son, he would probably kill him with one slap.
"Master, please calm down. Qiao Sheng is too young and will inevitably be taken advantage of. This must be the fault of that boy Lin Xiaodong. We will just settle the score with him."
"Yes, we can't let that kid go. That kid has caused misery to our Qiao family. We must kill him."
"And Qiao Shan, that bitch has been cheating on her, so we can't let her go."
The Qiao family was furious and clamored to deal with Lin Xiaodong and Qiao Shan.
"Dad, Qiao Shan's family is obviously different from our fellow travelers. There is no need to keep them. Let's drive them out of Qiao's family."
Qiao Sheng had a fierce look on his face and said viciously.
"A bunch of idiots.
You don’t even think about it, what if Qiao Shan has a good relationship with the special envoy, we drive Qiao Shan’s family out of the house, and the special envoy comes to trouble us?”
Qiao Zhen slapped the table and scolded.
The Qiao family were too frightened to say a word.
"Don't touch Lin Xiaodong and Qiao Shan's family for the time being. Our first goal is to get the quota, you know?"
Qiao Zhen's eyes flashed and he spoke shrewdly and forcefully.
"But the special envoy didn't give us a quota, how can we get it?"
Qiao Sheng said helplessly.
"No matter what, Qiao Shan is still our Qiao family.
If we ask her to transfer her quota to us, will she dare to object?"
Qiao Zhen snorted coldly and came up with Qiao Shan's idea.
"Yes, as long as we ask Qiao Shan to hand over her quota, the special envoy won't dare to do anything to us."
"Anyway, the quotas belong to our Qiao family. Of course, we, the Qiao family, can make our own arrangements as to who to send to participate in the ore hunting activity."
"The master's words awakened the dreamer!"
The Qiao family were greatly surprised, gave a thumbs up and praised Qiao Zhenlai.
Qiao Zhen looked proud and put on a posture of wisdom and courage.
Lin Xiaodong and Qiao Shan did not stay in the City Lord's Mansion for too long. They said goodbye to Shi Fu and the City Lord and left soon after.
Qiao Shan returned the Saint Crystal to Lin Xiaodong and separated from Lin Xiaodong at the inn. She went home alone! Qiao Shan felt very uneasy. She knew that the Qiao family would never forgive her and would definitely cause trouble for her.
She guessed correctly. She had just returned home when she was called to the main courtyard.
