336: C336 The Smell of Conspiracy

C336 The Smell of Conspiracy

Following Officer of the Ministry of Rites Administration's last sentence, everyone in the viewing and participating seats started to boil at the same time.

For a time, cheers sounded out.

Emperor of the Tiangong Empire and Chu Hong's faces were filled with excitement as they slapped the armrest with their hands and shouted loudly, "My son is mighty! Good!"

At this moment, Chu Yue and Chu Yu, who were in the audience seats, looked at Ye Tian with eyes full of admiration and adoration.

Qin Yan'er, who was seated beside Chu Yu, had a complicated expression within her beautiful eyes.

Right at the moment when the news arrived at the gate of Ministry of Tax Administration betting division, other than a very small amount of people who followed and shouted, the vast majority of the people, were completely silent.

After a while, the crowd began to issue out cries and insults.

Ministry of Tax Administration betting hall, betting on Director Xu Moxian, currently looked at the side wall in a daze, and was speechless for a long time.

Although in the last few days of the competition, the Tiangong Empire had already gradually equalized the points, perhaps due to mental inertia, or perhaps out of instinct, they didn't trust the strength of the Tiangong Empire, regardless of whether it was the officials of the various levels of the Ministry of Tax Administration, or the commoners who were still betting outside, everyone still felt that the last match would definitely be a victory for the Oca Empire.

As such, no one had expected such a drastic reversal in the last match.

At this moment, what Xu Moxian was really concerned about, was not the result of the competition, but the bet that the famous underground organization, Dark Holy Temple, had bet three hundred million silver taels in one go just before the start of the last match, which was also the final moment before the competition ended.

As everyone knew, following the usual practice in previous years, the Ministry of Tax Administration bets department would settle the bet for the betters every day at noon on the second day based on the payout rate of the previous day.

Under normal circumstances, for a martial arts competition that lasted several days, the development of a martial arts competition would not be reversed in just half a day. Ministry of Tax Administration betting division, this was the money they earned.

But at the moment, Dark Holy Temple was betting three hundred million silver taels. If he was betting on Oca Empire, then since People of Oca had lost, naturally anything would be fine.

But it just so happened that Dark Holy Temple was betting on Tiangong Empire and Tiangong Empire had won. The huge difference between the two was that the silver bet from before was absolutely not enough to pay the three hundred million taels of silver.

Moreover, the Dark Holy Temple was definitely not a normal merchant or a rich person. It was one of the top underground organizations in the entire East Continent. Perhaps even the Military Court did not want to rashly provoke such a huge organization. It had bet its Ministry of Tax Administration on the Division, so it didn't dare to play any tricks.

Thinking about that, Xu Moxian quickly turned around and hurried back to the Minister of Revenue's residence.

A quarter of an hour later, in the front hall of the Minister of Revenue's residence. After hearing Xu Moxian's report, the tax minister, Ji Yanwenn, clasped his hands behind his back and paced back and forth on the empty ground.

First he sighed a few times, then he shook his head. Ji Yanwenn frowned and said: "An organization like Dark Holy Temple is not something we can handle. Don't play tricks on me. If he played with toughness, he might not be able to win. The people who are not lacking in Dark Holy Temple are assassins. "

Speaking till here, Ji Yanwenn paused, bit his lips, and continued: "Looks like, this time, our Ministry of Tax Administration will give us a bit of blood. This is a whole year's worth of cash. "

Xu Moxian heard this and frowned. He asked: "Master, are we really going to let Dark Holy Temple earn 1.2 billion silver taels?"

Ji Yanwenn turned around, looked at Xu Moxian and said: "Otherwise, what good idea do you have? If we deal with it unhappily, or do it unfairly, or do not act according to usual practice, Dark Holy Temple will send any assassin over to your residence to eat and live for two days, will you be able to handle it? "

Hearing Ji Yanwenn's words, Xu Moxian sighed heavily and no longer said anything.

At this time, Ji Yanwenn looked out of the window at the wutong tree, his eyes flashed a little, and then muttered: "Why do I smell something wrong? "No matter how hard I tried, I could smell a hint of conspiracy."

At this point, Ji Yanwenn paused for a moment, turned around and looked at Xu Moxian, asking again, "Say, do you think Manager Ye was sure from the beginning that he would win the last match without any suspense?"

Xu Moxian was surprised for a moment, and after reading the meaning behind Ji Yanwenn's words, he frowned and said, "Although the rumors say that Manager Ye owns twenty percent of the dry shares in Dark Holy Temple, and although this matter has not been confirmed, it is not impossible to believe."

Hearing Xu Moxian's words, Ji Yanwenn looked straight at the parasol tree outside the window without saying anything for a long time.

On the Imperial Coliseum, People of Oca had lost the match and Prince Ivan had sustained serious injuries. At this time, he had left in a hurry.

The people who had left behind the Tiangong Empire congratulated each other as they left the arena one after another. The Emperor, Chu Hong, looked at Ye Tian in admiration. He knew Ye Tian would have something to say to Chu Yue and Chu Yu, so he accompanied Lee Defu and got on the imperial carriage first.

The horse carriage stopped in the middle of the drill grounds and waited for Chu Yue and Chu Yu to finish their conversation before heading back to the palace.

After looking at the Emperor's imperial carriage, Ye Tian first walked to the front of the participant stand, and after exchanging a few words with Mei Rou, Bi Ling, and the others, he told them to return to the Jade Lake West Garden first.0

Hearing Ye Tian's arrangement, Mei Rou and her men got in separate carriages and headed out of the school grounds.

Then, Ye Tian came before the viewing seats, looked at Chu Yue and Chu Yu, gave a mysterious smile and said: "Do you believe me? As long as Ministry of Tax Administration keeps their word and doesn't break their faith, we can make a fortune."

Chu Yue smiled faintly and said: "That method of yours, is still alright after using it once. The second time Ministry of Tax Administration will definitely not be at a loss to you."

Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Being able to earn 800 million silver taels in one go, even if there's no second time, it's still worth it."

Chu Yue nodded and said with a smile, "That's true."

"In a while, I will go to the Ministry of Tax Administration and bring out the silver. In the afternoon, I will send you two over to Gathering Excellence Palace. " Ye Tian said again.

At this moment, Chu Yu, who was standing at the side, seemed not to care about how much money she could earn. Instead, she glanced at Qin Yan'er, who was standing at the side, then suddenly turned around and forcefully pushed Qin Yan'er. With a disappointed tone, she said, "He's your man, why aren't you even saying anything?"

After being pushed by Chu Yu, Qin Yan'er was just about to flare up when she raised her head and saw Ye Tian's face so close to hers. With a blush on her face, Qin Yan'er lowered her head and said shyly, "I, I, I …"

At this moment, Chu Yu pulled at Chu Yue's clothes, dragging her along as she walked towards the imperial carriage in the middle of the drill grounds.

Chu Yue knew that Qin Yan'er must have used some shady trick on Chu Yu, to have her unruly wild horse tied to Ye Tian's hand.

Shaking her head, Chu Yue had no choice but to allow Chu Yu to pull her lapel into the carriage.

At this time, Ye Tian looked at Qin Yan'er who was wearing a green robe, glanced at her narrow and slim shoulder and said, "Miss Qin, I am really sorry about that night. At that time, my mind was still not clear. After doing such a stupid thing, no matter how much the lady punished me, I will accept it. "

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Qin Yan'er's cheeks were burning. After a long while, she finally managed to say, "I no longer care about that night's matters, it's just that, it's just that …"

"But what?" Ye Tian asked.

"However, it seems that after that night, my cultivation grew by a large amount." Qin Yan'er raised her head and looked boldly at Ye Tian. There was still a complicated look in her eyes as she continued, "Speaking of which, even I can't believe that I have changed my feelings for you after that night."

Ye Tian had an expression of interest, he stuck his head out and asked: "Changed? What did you become? "

"Before, I hated you so much. After that, I seem, seems, seems … " Qin Yan'er said three 'yes' in a row, her face burning like a red-hot iron plate.

Ye Tian continued to look interested as he asked: "What's wrong?"

Taking a deep breath, although her face was still red, Qin Yan'er raised her head bravely and stared straight at Ye Tian. She said, "I seem to have fallen for you."

Ye Tian was dumbfounded. He thought to himself: "Is this considered a confession?"

At this moment, Qin Yan'er no longer had any scruples. She looked at Ye Tian seriously and continued, "Manager Ye, I just want to tell you that I like you."

At this point, Qin Yan'er's breathing became slightly hurried as she continued, "Moreover, I feel that being with you would be of great help to my own cultivation. I hope that you can do it to me a second time for the events of that night. "

Finished speaking, Qin Yan'er turned around and quickly walked to the edge of the drill grounds. There, Qin Manor's carriage was still quietly waiting for its young mistress.

Ye Tian was dumbfounded. He stared at Qin Yan'er's back and muttered to himself, "I will do it again for you that night? Then why are you running?

Looking around, there was no one else on the campus. Ye Tian continued to say: "There's no one here anymore. Can you come a second time?"

But at this moment, Qin Yan'er's figure had already vanished from the exit of the drill grounds.

Pouting his lips, Ye Tian raised his head and looked at the noon sunlight. He then thought about Qin Yan'er's narrow and slightly thin shoulders and once again said: "Let's go back to the Jade Lake West Garden to eat a good meal first, then go to the Ministry of Tax Administration to earn some silver."

After saying that, Ye Tian also quickly walked towards the carriage parked at the edge of the school field.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Jade Lake West Garden's gate. Ye Tian alighted from the carriage, walked through the Jade Lake West Garden's gate, and then came back to Jingann Courtyard.
