Many people's eardrums hurt and they covered their ears and closed their mouths.
The scene finally calmed down.
Mr. Xiao said seriously: "Let's hear what Mr. Xia has to say first!"
Even if the goods are fake, he still needs to give everyone an explanation, right? What's the use of making noise?
Protector Zhao on the side sneered secretly. He wanted to see how Xia Qingchen would explain to them. No matter what, he could not escape the fate of ruined reputation, right?
Mr. Xiao looked at Xia Qingchen and said sincerely: "Master Xia, just say something!"
His tears flashed, full of pleading, begging Xia Qingchen not to deceive them!
Xia Qingchen gently put down the teacup, his eyes met everyone's eyes for the first time, and after a quick glance, he said: "Shopkeeper Qiu, please refund the money."
Just five words shattered Mr. Xiao's last hope.
Since it was a refund, it was a tacit admission that those statues were fake and that Xia Qingchen was defrauding them of their money.
"But..." Qiu Wanjin was extremely reluctant to give up.
According to the rules of the venue, you cannot go back on anything you sell, and the three families also abide by this rule.
Now that their reputation has been ruined, it won't change anything whether they return the money or not. Instead of doing this, it is better to keep the money and fly away.
"Refund!" Xia Qingchen said in a heavier tone.
Qiu Wanjin hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Come here with the statue and refund the money!"
As if they were granted amnesty, the three families immediately returned the statues, while Qiu Wanjin returned all the money intact.
"That's pretty cool!"
"Why don't we refund the money as a last resort because we have so many people? What a liar!"
"Bah! What the hell? Don't come to Southern Xinjiang again!"
…
Even though the money was refunded, no one ever forgave them. Just as Qiu Wanjin had guessed, their reputation was already bad.
Qiu Wanjin looked lonely. He wanted to take this opportunity to fly into the sky, but in the end...
Everything originally went well, and by selling the eggs of the Mid-Moon Beast, he could achieve the desired effect and rebuild his prestige in the southern Xinjiang business circle.
But in the end, the extra statues were put up for auction and ruined everything.
He remembered an idiom that was superfluous!
Looking at Xia Qingchen, Qiu Wanjin felt unspeakable disappointment. If Xia Qingchen had not been invited this time, although he would have lost ten monster essences, he would never have been ruined.
The biggest failure of this chamber of commerce was inviting Xia Qingchen.
From now on, he didn't want to have much contact with Xia Qingchen.
Protector Zhao sneered in his heart. He somewhat admired his own strategy. This kill two birds with one stone, not only allowed the Wu family to get rid of Qiu Wanjin, a major problem in their heart, but also ruined the reputation of Xia Qingchen, who they hated, and never showed up in southern Xinjiang again.
He said seriously: "As I said, the ten statues are not something to strengthen the monster beast, but an ominous thing that is deeply cursed. Now, do you believe it?"
Many businessmen clasped their fists, and Patriarch Xiao stepped forward to bow and apologize: "I deeply apologize for the disrespect the old man showed you just now!"
After bowing deeply, he said: "This year, my Xiao family's incense money will be doubled to express my apology."
The head of the Chen family and the head of the Wang family came over one after another and confessed: "I have offended a lot just now, please forgive Zhao Protector."
Looking back now, I feel really sorry that I and others angrily rebuked Protector Zhao just to favor a liar.
"My Chen family's incense money will also be doubled."
"The same goes for the Wang family!"
The businessmen who were watching all sighed.
"In the end, our own people in southern Xinjiang are still reliable! Foreign monks recite crooked scriptures!"
"Everyone, please leave. No one can come to the chamber of commerce held by this Qiu in the future."
"Haha, he still has the nerve to hold a chamber of commerce?"
Everyone stood up one after another and receded like the tide. Protector Zhao sneered and waited. After they left, he bought all four statues back at a low price.
That is definitely a rare statue touched by a barbarian god, and it is priceless!
It was also at this time that Xia Qingchen stroked the four statues placed in front of him and said calmly: "General Palace Master, for the sake of borrowing your silver coffin, I will give you a chance to change your ways!"
When Xia Qingchen picked up the statue and touched it, he knew what was going on.
Someone used the spirituality of the temple to suppress the effects of the four statues, so no matter how they tried, the statues could not make the monsters go crazy.
The master of the palace, who was like an emperor, remained silent and sat quietly on the throne under the protection of all the protectors, completely ignoring Xia Qingchen!
In his eyes, Xia Qingchen was just like ordinary mortals, and he looked down upon him.
Zhao Hufa sternly scolded: "Xia, you sell fake statues and dare to threaten the master of the main hall? How can there be such a shameless person like you in the world?"
He deliberately raised his voice to attract all the guests who had left away.
"What's going on?"
"The one named Xia is still unwilling to let you go, right?"
"He really doesn't take us southern Xinjiang people seriously. After being exposed for selling fake goods, why don't you just get out of here with your tail between your legs in disgrace? Are you still here to challenge the temple?"
…
Xia Qingchen ignored them, just played with a barbarian statue in the palm of his hand, and said calmly: "You are people who serve the gods, but you use this insidious trajectory to harm others. I don't know what kind of gods you serve!"
Although he hates God King Ningshuang, he has to say that Ningshuang, apart from being more ambitious, doesn't like to use insidious strategies.
But the group of people in the main temple are either not pious enough and have never really converted to the glory of Ningshuang God King, or they worship insidious gods.
"Xia Qingchen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense! The affairs of the gods are taboo in the temple. How can you, a mortal, be taboo? You are not afraid of the gods' condemnation?" Protector Zhao scolded.
Xia Qingchen stood up slowly, bathed in the sunshine, and his body glowed with holy light. He said lightly: "If the gods project themselves down, you will be the first to be punished!"
The corners of Zhao Hufa's mouth trembled slightly. He knew exactly what he had done.
If God has a spirit, he must be the first person who cannot be forgiven.
"Xia Qingchen, what exactly do you want to say?" Protector Zhao scolded.
Xia Qingchen said calmly: "Isn't what I said very clear? A dignified protector of the law, who uses the temple to conspire to harm others. If the chief palace master doesn't eliminate him with the temple's laws, what else will he do?"
The Chief Palace Master was finally willing to look squarely at Xia Qingchen. He was a little surprised that Xia Qingchen could actually see the methods used by Protector Zhao.
It is a very clever and secret technique that even many senior staff of the temple may not understand.
Of course, it was impossible for him to admit that the temple's protector harmed people.
Otherwise, most of the temple's thousand-year reputation will collapse.
If it is spread that the temple protects the Dharma and harms people, who will still believe in it in the future, who will come to worship, and who will come to offer incense?
"He didn't." The chief palace master said three words indifferently, as if coming to a conclusion without any explanation or justification.
Xia Qingchen put his hands behind his back and said, "Do you dare to swear to the gods?"
It's okay for others to swear to the gods, but once the temple staff swear to the gods, it is extremely effective.
No priest dares to swear an oath to the god he worships.
"It's not necessary. If I say no, he won't." This is the longest sentence the chief palace master has ever said. He is still as indifferent as an emperor and is irresistible.
The businessmen who returned from the surrounding area condemned him one after another.
"Shut up, you liar! You think everyone is just like you, full of lies!"
"Get out of southern Xinjiang!"
"roll!!"
The public was furious. Xia Qingchen looked at nothing. Feng Qingyun said calmly: "If you say no, then I will call someone who says yes."
The chief palace master said indifferently: "Who?"
Looking at southern Xinjiang, who else has a higher right to speak than the master of his majestic main temple?
What's more, what weight can the person who was summoned by Xia Qingchen instead of invited have any weight?
They are probably some unpopular little people, right?
What's the point of caring about that kind of person?
"Gods of the Nine Heavens!" Xia Qingchen looked up at the sky, his eyes showing a look of indifference to heaven and earth.
