186: Excessive dosage of elixirs? Bullshit.

Huangfu Mo waved his hand, his tone cold. "I said I won't eat. Tell me, are there any people from the Feng Family present?"

Hearing this, Yue Qingchen's expression soured slightly, but he still introduced him, "This is the Second Young Master of the Feng Family, Feng Ming."

"Hmm?"

Huangfu Mo's gaze slowly fell upon Feng Ming, but before he could speak...

Feng Ming took the lead and said, "Lord Huangfu, I am right here and won't run away. Since you want to investigate the issue with the Medicinal Pills, I will naturally cooperate fully. However, before that, I have something I need to report to the City Lord first. Please wait a moment for your matter."

Feng Ming's tone was polite, but his words were anything but.

Huangfu Mo's Face immediately darkened as he scolded him.

"Feng Ming, how dare you! The price of Medicinal Pills concerns the entire Bright Moon Dynasty and is the court's most important matter. Can your business be more important than this? You actually expect me to wait for you to speak first?"

"Can you take responsibility for delaying the court's great affairs? Be careful, or I'll have someone arrest you right now."

Hearing this, Feng Ming was not angry but said with a smile, "Whether it delays the court's affairs is not for Lord Huangfu to decide. As for wanting to arrest me, I suggest you wait; maybe in a moment, you won't want to anymore."

Huangfu Mo was instantly enraged. By comparison, Feng Ming's words this time were extremely disrespectful.

"You..."

Jiang Shuwan stood up abruptly, while Lu Zhenfeng, seeing this, chuckled from the side.

"Brother Huangfu, don't be in such a hurry. Let's see what this kid has to say first. If it's nothing important, I'll help you take him down before you even have to lift a finger."

Although Huangfu Mo was reluctant, since Lu Zhenfeng had spoken, he had to give him some Face and agreed.

Feng Ming didn't waste any more words and waved his hand.

In an instant, a corpse appeared before everyone.

And this corpse was none other than Rotten Wood, who had come to assassinate Feng Ming last night.

Recognizing the identity of the corpse, Lu Zhenfeng and Hua Dieer were both stunned and looked at Feng Ming.

They had been worried about how Feng Ming would deal with Rotten Wood, but to their surprise, without any commotion, Rotten Wood had already been killed and turned into a corpse.

Beside them, Yue Qingchen and Huangfu Mo were also stunned when they saw Rotten Wood's corpse.

Only the Advisor, Li Li, looked at Feng Ming with a faint smile on his lips.

Feng Ming looked at Lu Zhenfeng, "Lord Lu, as far as I know, this person's name is Rotten Wood. He sneaked into my Feng Family last night with ill intentions, but unfortunately, I discovered and killed him."

"This man is notorious and a fugitive the Bright Moon Dynasty has been pursuing for years. I wonder if there are any rewards for my killing him?"

Feng Ming's tone was unhurried, but to the ears of Lu Zhenfeng, Huangfu Mo, and the others, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Lu Zhenfeng knew very well what Rotten Wood's strength was; it could be said that Lu Zhenfeng was the strongest person present.

Even he might not have been able to keep Rotten Wood there, yet Feng Ming had actually killed him.

Furthermore, there was a faint hint of warning in Feng Ming's words.

That is to say, "Don't mess with me. If I can kill Rotten Wood, I can naturally kill everyone here."

These words were particularly jarring to Huangfu Mo.

He couldn't help but swallow hard, cursing in his heart, "Damn that Huangfu He! What kind of existence did you provoke? He can kill Rotten Wood just like that, and you fucking called me back? Isn't this just pure suicide?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Feng Ming chuckled and said.

"Don't be nervous. I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grudges. As long as you are reasonable and don't target me, I won't target anyone."

Feng Ming said as he looked at Hua Dieer, "Miss Dieer, given our relationship, you believe me, right?"

"Lord Lu, you're about to be my father-in-law. I wouldn't dare lay a hand on you no matter what."

Everyone present understood that while Feng Ming's words seemed directed at Lu Zhenfeng and Hua Dieer, they were actually meant for Huangfu Mo's ears.

He was just taking the opportunity to knock him down a peg.

If anyone wanted to deal with the Feng Family, they had to weigh whether they were capable and if their strength surpassed that of Rotten Wood.

Advisor Li laughed to himself.

"Good grief, what a move of retreating to advance—killing the person and destroying the heart! Incredible, truly incredible!"

The atmosphere at the scene did not ease because of Feng Ming's couple of jokes.

Especially Huangfu Mo, whose gaze flickered between the Old Man of Withered Bones on the ground and Feng Ming.

Even now, he couldn't believe that an expert like Rotten Wood could be killed by Feng Ming.

By this time, Lu Zhenfeng had already realized why they had been so worried when they received the news.

Yet Feng Ming hadn't been worried at all, acting as if he didn't care in the slightest.

However, it was a good thing that Rotten Wood was dead. This way, the situation suddenly became favorable for them.

"Hahaha, this is good news, great news! Beheading a court criminal is a major achievement. Don't worry, I will definitely report this matter, and your reward will certainly be substantial."

Hearing this, Feng Ming smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Lu."

In truth, any reward was unimportant; he didn't care, and the court wouldn't actually give him anything truly valuable.

To put it bluntly, it was just going through the motions.

Regardless, the value of Rotten Wood's corpse had already been demonstrated.

Huangfu Mo also changed his expression; his Face was now full of smiles, with no trace of his previous coldness.

Seeing this, Feng Ming asked with a smile, "Didn't Lord Huangfu just say you wanted me to cooperate with the investigation? Now that my business is finished, don't you want to investigate? Please, ask whatever you like; I will definitely cooperate and tell you everything I know."

Seeing this, Huangfu Mo hurriedly said, "Young Friend Feng, you're too polite. I was just acting according to official business. From a personal perspective, I greatly admire your strength."

"That old thief Rotten Wood committed many evils; you've rid the people of a menace. I admire you immensely."

Who would have thought that in just a short while, Huangfu Mo's attitude would take a 180-degree turn?

Jiang Shuwan couldn't help but laugh from the side. As expected of someone in officialdom, his ability to adapt was truly impressive.

Feng Ming nodded, "Don't worry, Lord Huangfu. My Feng Family are also subjects of the Bright Moon Dynasty. As long as it's a legal matter, we will certainly cooperate."

Huangfu Mo nodded and asked with a smile, "Then I shall ask. Lord Yue says that the Feng Family's Medicinal Pills are much lower than the market price. Is this true?"

Feng Ming nodded and said straightforwardly, "What Lord Yue says is the truth. The Feng Family's Medicinal Pills are not only lower than the market price, but quite a bit lower."

"However, this is because we are grateful for the kindness shown to us by the Cultivators of Qingyang City. So, we've provided some benefits to give back to our new and old customers. May I ask, Lord Huangfu, is there anything improper about this?"

Huangfu Mo shook his head, "No, that's understandable."

Then he turned to Yue Qingchen, "Lord Yue, you are the head of the Haoyu Dynasty's Pill Workshop in Qingyang City and have the responsibility to inspect the market. Has the sales range of the Feng Family's Medicinal Pills exceeded the standards?"
