Chapter 139 Endless Argument
Chapter 139 Endless Argument
The people below the stage couldn't wait to ask all sorts of questions. From where Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi were standing, they could only hear babbling noises. Feng Chenyi's voice rang out again: "If you want to ask a question, write your name on a piece of paper and just raise it. I'll read your name and tell you the answer to your question."
After hearing this, the people in the audience wrote down their names with pens. Although they all had some doubts that as long as they wrote down their names, the head of Yunyi Villa would directly tell them whether the answers to the questions they wanted to ask were true, but each of them wanted to give it a try.
Wei Zi glanced at the people who were writing their names and slowly said, "Our boss only answers three questions to three people every day."
I didn't say this before they just came because I was afraid they wouldn't have enough to eat. Now that they have come from afar and Yunyi Villa has treated them well, it's time to say it.
Answer three people and three questions a day, not one more.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. There were at least thousands of people present, and only three people answered three questions. What would happen?
The banquet hall was in chaos. "We brothers have been waiting here for so long just to ask a question. Is the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce making fun of us?"
The brother next to him wanted to overturn the table to make some noise, but after trying for a long time he failed to move the Eight Immortals Table even a little bit.
Feng Chenyi looked at them coldly and said, "You are the Jianghu Brotherhood, consisting of eighty-one brothers. The six present are ranked in the top six, each with their own strengths. The fifth is as strong as an ox, but you can't lift this Eight Immortals Table of mine."
Their names had not been written yet because they could not write. The person who had just lifted the table heard the second in command of Yunyi Villa mention him and said that he could not lift his Eight Immortals Table. He was not convinced and pushed the table with all his strength, trying to move it forward.
It was possible that no matter how hard he tried, the Eight Immortals Table did not budge at all. The rest of the brothers saw this scene and their faces turned grim.
The boss didn't know how Feng Chenyi knew all this, but he thought it was because his gang was famous, so he stood up unwillingly. "Since you know our identity, you should know that we are not easy to mess with."
When the Brotherhood Gang leader said this, he couldn't help but step back, but for the sake of the gang's reputation, he had to hold on even though he was afraid.
Wei Zi was just about to have someone teach this arrogant gang a lesson when Feng Chenyi coldly said, "You're here for your second brother. He's resourceful and has always been the backbone of the gang, but he disappeared half a month ago. Do you want to know where he is?"
When the brothers heard this, they looked at each other and, led by the eldest brother, knelt down before Feng Chenyi. "Second Master, we just failed to recognize you. If you can tell us where the second master is, we, the brothers, will be willing to serve you like slaves."
They had many enemies, and when the second brother suddenly disappeared, the other brothers were very worried, fearing that he would be caught and tortured by his enemies.
Wei Zi looked at the man who was so arrogant the moment before and knelt down the next moment, and stopped calling for help. The others were surprised when they saw this scene.
Before this gang of brothers even wrote down their names, the second in command of Yunyi Villa already knew the questions they wanted to ask, and it seemed that this second in command was well-informed.
Feng Chenyi looked at those people and said calmly: "He is dead, and his body is buried under the locust tree in your backyard."
When the brothers heard this, they all expressed disbelief: "How is this possible? My second brother is so smart, how could he die and be buried in the gang!"
Only the eldest boss immediately sent someone to confirm, and then asked Feng Chenyi: "Who killed him?"
This time Feng Chenyi didn't answer, so Wei Zi spoke up, "You've already asked a question. You don't have another chance!" Then Wei Zi turned to the others and said, "Today, the Second In Command has already answered one person and one question!"
The reason why Wei Zi told them that she had answered a question was to tell others that their chances were running out.
The Brotherhood Gang's leader still refused to give up. "Please tell me, Second Leader. My Brotherhood Gang is willing to pay any price."
"We at Yunyi Villa don't lack anything. The reason we're answering your questions today is simply to express our gratitude for coming from afar. If you continue to be aggressive, we won't be welcoming you to Yunyi Villa anymore!" Wei Zi said, and then turned to the brothers, "Since the head of the family has answered your questions, you should confirm them immediately!"
Hearing that they were not welcoming guests, the others accused the Brotherhood of not following the rules and told them to shut up.
Under pressure, the Brotherhood could only sit quietly by and wait for the person who went to investigate to come back and tell them whether the matter was true or not. If it was false, they could expose it.
Seeing the Brotherhood Gang just take advantage and get their first chance, everyone was dissatisfied. "They just wasted an opportunity like that. I don't accept it. Even if they only answer three questions a day, the Second In Command casually gave the Brotherhood Gang one chance. Could it be that the Second In Command just happened to know something? That's why he chose them."
The person who was speaking implied that Feng Chenyi revealed the whereabouts of the second brother of the Brotherhood Gang not because he could predict the future, but because he knew the twists and turns involved in advance.
After hearing this, the others started to jeer: "Could it be that the Second In Command just happened to know the secret of the Brotherhood and chose them to answer the first question?"
The people around agreed, believing that the second-in-command of Yunyi Villa knew about the Brotherhood Gang because he just happened to know about it.
"The Second in Command picked the people, so how can we know if you can really predict the future?"
Wei Zi listened to the chatter at the banquet, her fists clenched. "So, according to you, Yunyi Villa can't decide on the candidates for the last two questions ourselves!"
Everyone was silent for a while, and then a wealthy businessman with a big belly stood up and said, "Your Yunyi Villa is not short of things, but everyone who came here today has questions to ask. So, we should use our strength to compete for the right to ask these two questions."
Wei Zi wanted to call for someone to arrest the troublemaker, but Feng Chenyi's voice rang out coldly from the platform: "What do you want?"
The wealthy businessman, with his big belly, looked at everyone and held up five fingers: "I'll pay 50,000 taels of silver for a chance. If someone offers more than me, I'll surrender!"
As soon as the rich businessman said the 50,000 taels of silver, the plain-dressed man's face turned pale instantly. In this way, the rich have the final say here, so how can ordinary people like them fight for it?
The price offered by the big-bellied rich businessman was already very high. Fifty thousand taels of silver to ask a question was not something that ordinary people could afford, and there were not many people who could bid against him.
"I'll pay 80,000 taels!" A man in his forties or fifties walked out of the crowd.
