Chapter 1071 - 1071 Hai Family's Decision
1071 Hai Family’s Decision
The Hai family was the richest family in the Tongxuan Continent. The Golden Sea Pavilion bloomed everywhere, and countless wealth flowed in every day. They were inextricably related to the various large factions.
In the Tongxuan Continent, the Hai family was very powerful. They had infiltrated various domains. The royal family, the four great clans, the three great sects, and other factions of all sizes had traces of the Hai family.
However, there were three exceptions: the Ninth Lord’s Estate, the Nine Cloud Palace, and the Purple Cloud Tower.
They all knew that the Ninth Lord of the Ninth Lord’s Estate was the Palace Master of the Nine Cloud Palace, but they did not know who the owner of the Purple Cloud Tower was. They did not know if it was related to Ye Jiushang.
Because the Golden Sea Pavilion had been robbed, the Hai family had suffered heavy losses. Over the past two days, they had been investigating this matter. After obtaining some clues, they immediately held a meeting.
“Yesterday, the Golden Sea Pavilion in the Imperial City was robbed. Everything was stolen and nothing was left. Today, branches of the Golden Sea Pavilion in other places were also robbed. Among them, there were the most losses in herbs. The Ninth Lord’s Estate distributed the antidote to the outside world for free. Those antidotes need a large number of herbs to be brewed. I think the theft of the Golden Sea Pavilion is most likely related to the Ninth Lord’s Estate.”
“Even if the Ninth Lord’s Estate really robbed the Golden Sea Pavilion, what can we do? Could we become enemies with the Ninth Lord’s Estate? Furthermore, this matter is only our guess. There’s no evidence. If we go to their door without any evidence, even if we have reason, it will become unreasonable.”
“Master, I’m certain that the Ninth Lord’s Estate was the one who robbed the Golden Sea Pavilion. Not only has the Golden Sea Pavilion in the Imperial City been robbed, but the Golden Sea Pavilion in other places has also been robbed. According to this momentum, all the Golden Sea Pavilions in the Tongxuan Continent will suffer the same fate. At that time, our Hai family’s losses will be very serious, so serious that it will hurt the root and shake the foundation. Once the root is hurt, the family standing will plummet, and the consequences will be unimaginable.”
“That’s right. We can’t wait for death anymore. With the current situation, even if we don’t provoke the Ninth Lord’s Estate, they won’t let us off.”
“We have no grudge with the Ninth Lord’s Estate. Why should they treat us like this? According to what I know, when the other medicine shops were robbed, the corresponding crystal coins would be left at the event location. Why doesn’t our Golden Sea Pavilion have them?”
“I remember that when Hai Lan went to the Nanling Empire to end the engagement, she seemed to have offended the Ninth Imperial Consort. The person who applied medicine to save people outside was the Ninth Imperial Consort. The Ninth Lord has yet to appear. I think this matter was most likely the Ninth Imperial Consort’s idea.”
Everyone spoke their minds and waited for the family head to make a decision.
After hearing everyone’s opinions, the head of the Hai family combined it with his thoughts and made a decision.
“Although we don’t have evidence, the person who ransacked the Golden Sea Pavilion must be from the Ninth Lord’s Estate. Now that the Imperial City is plagued with poison, countless commoners need an antidote to save their lives. If our Hai family pursues the matter of the herbs at this time, not only will we not obtain anyone’s support, but we will also greatly damage the Hai family’s reputation. If we do the opposite, we might have unexpected gains.”
“Master, how do you plan to do the opposite?”
“Since the Ninth Lord’s Estate uses our herbs to brew the antidote, the Ninth Lord’s Estate can’t be the only good guy. Release the news to the public that the herbs the Ninth Lord’s Estate used to brew the antidote were provided by the Golden Sea Pavilion.”
Although the Golden Sea Pavilion had suffered serious losses this time, it was good to be able to exchange it for some reputation.
As long as the reputation of the Golden Sea Pavilion surpa.s.sed that of the Purple Cloud Tower, would they be afraid of not earning money in the future?
