Chapter 075 – Make Friend Become Famous! (2/2)

The person in charge of the s.h.i.+p is called Chen Tao, the entire boat crew as well as all the guests on the first and second decks gathered on the top deck, organising a group of guards to search every compartment and cabin on the s.h.i.+p, one by one.

All scholars were standing behind watching closely, there is no way for anyone to escape under their noses.

Unfortunately, in the end everybody was left disappointed; all cabins has been searched but they did not see what they hoped for; the sight of a large heap of gold coins stacked in a hidden corner, glistening brightly.

“The thief must have hid the gold coins——–”

“With no money, what can we do? When we go to Tiandu, are we going to die?”

“No, our money is lost on the s.h.i.+p, the s.h.i.+p will have to pay for our losses——-”

———–

Zhang Linpu pointed to the stairwell on the third deck “Manager Chen, it seems we haven't searched the third floor, right?”

Chen Tao was incredibly anxious, repeatedly waving his hand in refusal: “We must not search the third floor. The third floor is for VIPs, they will not steal some student's little money.”

Zhang Linpu's little heart can't stand this any longer, pointing at Chen Tao he shouted: “Manger Chen, what do you mean? Upstairs are for VIPs, so we are gra.s.sroots and dust? Now that the entire first floor, second floor and the crew's cabins have been thoroughly searched yet we still can't find the thief or the lost gold, then of course, we must search the third deck——–”

“Exactly, even if the prince breaks the law, he must be punished like an ordinary person. What makes those on the third floor superior?”

“Even if there are some VIPs on the third floor, what about their servants and guards? Who can guarantee that they do not have sticky fingers?”

———-

Chen Tao still refuses. “It's something that I can't do, I must not. Beside's this is not up to me——The guests on the third deck reserved the whole deck and we promised not to disturb them.”

“Then what about our stolen money?” Zhang Linpu was filled with anger. “If your s.h.i.+p will pay for all the money us scholars have lost then we won't have to search the third floor. Otherwise, even if it's the emperor we are still going up to see——-”

“Yes, we are going up to search——-” The crowd snarled.

“What's with the yelling?” An arrogant voice resounded from the top of the stairs.

Accompanied by several men of his monitoring division, Cui Zhaoren, dressed in a black cape, walked out of the cabin with an irritated face; a beautiful dream being disrupted is indeed frustrating. He said coldly: “just a few hundred gold coins, we won't even take a glimpse at them. If you continue to make false accusations, watch if I would slap your mouths—–get out of here.”

“You——–” Zhang Linpu tried to stand firm but seeing the men in black, one after another, holding onto the shaft of their blade, with their eyes ferociously glaring at them, as if they were ready to pull out their blades at anytime, the words that had already reached his mouth wouldn't come out no matter what.

“Let us go and have a look.” A clear voice echoed over.

Zhang Linpu, who was standing right in the front, swiftly leaped aside to make it clear to the group of men in black that he was not the man who said these words. This matter had nothing to do with him.

The crowd dispersed, at the back of the crowd was Li Muyang, who has been following the crowd all along, searching one cabin after another, with a somewhat leisurely expression, he was pushed right to the front of Cui Zhaoren like stars cl.u.s.tering around the moon.

“Turns out it's that r.e.t.a.r.d.” Everyone thought to themselves.

“What are you?” The corners of Cui Zhaoren's mouth slightly raised as he said without a trace of politeness.

“I'm Li Muyang.” Li Muyang said, smiling.

“And what is Li Muyang?”

“Li Muyang is not a thing, he's a living person.” Grinning from ear to ear, Li Muyang continued: “The lord of Jiangnan city Yan Bolai is my uncle. The lord's son Yan Xiangma is my brother——Yan Xiangma is Jiangnan city's most famous hedonistic young master, he is capable of doing anything. So, young master please be careful.”

Li Muyang played with their mind here. He thought that since the majority of these people boarded the s.h.i.+p at Maple Forest Crossing, then most of them are from Jiangnan. Who in Jiangnan would not know of the lord of the city, Yan Bolai? Who would not know of the famous hedonistic young master Yan Xiangma?

Just moments ago Yan Bolai rushed over to see him off; everyone on the s.h.i.+p should have witnessed this. No matter who they are, they will always give some respect to the lord of the city, right?

As for Yan Xiangma, since he often says he's capable of committing any crime, then as his close friend, Li Muyang did not hesitate to make him become more well known.
