Chapter 278: The Liu Family Leaves Martial Dao Grandmaster
Jin Chongyang is dead.
The first person to hear the news was the disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect Pepsi Hall looking after the soul card, who reported it to the sect and sent a message to the elder of Huoyun Pavilion in Qingyangfang City for questioning.
However, Jin Chongyang died in his practice room, and the stone door was restricted, and his cultivation level was not enough to open it.
Until noon the next day, Zhou Tong from Yangquanfang City came and forcibly broke open the stone gate, only to see a puddle of blood.
There was no whole body, and it was preliminarily determined that he died of poisoning.
After some questioning, because of the many assassinations that occurred in the city the day before yesterday, Jin Chongyang had contacts with many people dealing with related affairs, so it was difficult to identify the suspects.
Zhou Tong went to find Xia Lingyun who had seen the deceased last.
Xia Lingyun looked confused, his heart was shaken, and he said anxiously: "What is the meaning of Senior Zhou? Could it be that he suspects me? Even if it is poisoning, with my strength, how can I poison Elder Jin face to face without being discovered?"
Zhou Tongdao: "Young master, please be safe and don't be impatient. This old man is just asking questions routinely. I don't know what the little prince is asking Elder Jin for?"
Xia Lingyun recounted the process of meeting Jin Chongyang, secretly suspicious in his heart, unavoidably thinking of Zhong Yan—whether the other party deliberately disclosed the news to him in the "Yifei Building" and led him to the scene of the crime.
However, when he thought about it deeply, he felt that it was impossible. How did Zhong Yan know that he would definitely go to the Jin Mansion?
But he didn't dare to say this, so as not to explain it clearly, and finally said seriously: "Besides, I have no motive for committing the crime!"
Xia Hongdeng, the Patriarch of the Xia Family at the side, said: "Yes, Brother Zhou, we have always been in harmony with Elder Jin, and we have never had any conflicts. How could it be life and death? Brother Dao, please enlighten me! The Xia family is willing to help Brother Jin thoroughly Check this out!"
So far the news has spread.
A stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Many forces in the city were in shock.
Especially Ding Yin and Yang Yanqing, who participated in the conspiracy of the Liu family and knew many details, knew that the Zhongfu had been acting as a demon recently.
However, Jin Chongyang was completely out of the plan, and both of them couldn't help muttering to themselves: Could it be him who did this?
There were no traces to be found, so Zhou Tong could only find people who had been in close contact with Jin Chongyang recently for routine interrogation.
Naturally, Zhongfu is indispensable.
Zhong Yan was calm and composed, and explained the details of the bribery request to Jin Chongyang to "lend the net", but did not mention the "documents". Anyway, there were only two parties involved at the time, and outsiders had no way of knowing.
Zhou Tong left, and a group of family members surrounded him.
Yu Qingyao: "Husband, who could it be? Could it be that a powerful Demonic Cultivator has come to the city?"
Yuan Ziyi, who didn't know what happened from the beginning to the end, never thought that Jin Chongyang died because of her, and then said suspiciously: "Elder Jin's foundation building is on the seventh floor, and I don't know what kind of poison it is, so it can kill him quickly. It’s too late to even call for help.”
Zhong Yan smiled indifferently: "Who knows, just leave him alone!"
For him, it was just a sideshow.
The only one who can understand the truth is Zhong Xiaozhong.
Because he came back from the 'Yifei Building' and asked Zhong Xiaozhong for 'poison', the mansion has collected as many as hundreds of poisons from the black market in Wudong Town over the years.
"The blood curse talisman is really overbearing!"
Zhong Yan sighed secretly.
During the war in Wei State, Fire Cloud Sect was not stable. Zhou Tong only checked the case for five days before shelving the case and returning to Yangquanfang City.
Qingyangfang City is temporarily guarded by another shopkeeper on the fifth floor of the Foundation Building in Huoyun Pavilion.
Jiang Huan once again turned into a phantom and assassinated in the dark, and the death guards cooperated in spreading various rumors.
As a result, Qingyangfang City and even the entire Azure Sun City became more and more chaotic, and many monks were panicked and panicked.
What made Zhong Yan complain was that some people really took advantage of the chaos to rob, kill and steal money—people who were not on Jianghuan's hunting list also fell one after another.
Among them are mortals. Xia Xinzhu, who has a heart for the common people, is devastated. From time to time, he personally leads a team to patrol and strengthen the security work in the city.
The Xia family, the Xu family, the Keqing government and many other forces couldn't bear it any longer. They held high the "flag of morality and righteousness" and directly suppressed the Liu family. As a result, various shops of the Liu family were frequently disrupted and their business plummeted.
But the new guard, Fu Xingdao, was not strong enough to deter him, so he couldn't control the situation at all.
Until a son of the Xia family was assassinated and fell, and was identified as the Liu family's counterattack, the conflict reached a new height, and it almost seemed like a fight.
The Liu family had no choice but to close the restaurant and inn first.
And Zhong Fu, the culprit who was the first to hoard the elixir, 'knows that he is wrong', submissive, very low-key, and arranged a large number of combat forces to garrison the store.
Half a month later.
Yuan Ziyi led three guest officials to squat fifty miles outside the city for four days, and successfully intercepted the escort team of Liu's family.
As expected, there were only five people in total, three Qi Refinings, two Foundation Buildings, and one more Foundation Building second-floor guest minister than expected, and they were powerless to fight back.
At night, Liu Zhenbei quietly went to the Zhongfu to explain the situation.
Along with him is Liu Tianming, the elder of the Liu family, on the third floor of the Foundation Building.
This person, Zhong Yan, met once before he left the sect. He was the head of the Liu family, but later abdicated to become the elder of the clan. The head of the family was replaced by Liu Zhilong. He was intercepted and killed by Li Henian, Yang Yanqing, and Qin Ben.
Zhong Yan didn't give face at all, his face was ugly, and he said in a displeased voice: "Nowadays, the market is so chaotic, I have reminded you many times, why don't you send more escorts?!"
Liu Zhenbei was in distress, why didn't he send more troops, and invited one more Foundation Building to go out, the family really couldn't mobilize more combat power.
Liu Tianming glanced at Yuan Ziyi whose face was hidden in the mist and whose breath was stronger than his own, and guessed that it was Qifeng Yuan Zhiqing, pursed his lips and said: "This is my Liu family's fault, so according to what Zhong Fellow Daoist said, Caozhentang gives it to you."
"I want you to pave the way!"
Zhong Yan looked a little annoyed, "I promised with Jingcheng, how do I deal with it now? There are still a few days left, you guys find a way to help me get another batch of elixir!"
Liu Zhenbei wondered: "Brother Zhong Dao, you have purchased a large number of times before and after, and even the Five Elements School can't get it all together. Where will you get it in a while."
Zhong Yan: "I don't care!"
Liu Tianming pondered for a moment and said: "Zhong Fellow Daoist, the Liu family can offer you the shop in Qingyangfang City."
Zhong Yan, who got cheap and behaved well, said with a smile: "Now Liu's shop can't open normally, and it has become a hot potato. Give it to me. Liu Fellow Daoist is really a good plan!"
The messy Liu family gave up the Qingyang market, shrinking their strength and looking back has become inevitable.
Liu Zhenbei murmured to himself that his Liu family was not the only one who broke the market by violating regulations, but the Liu family was the only one that was suppressed and became the target of public criticism.
But having said that, the Liu family is the link, trading with the Zhong, Yang, and Ding families, but they can't blame others. In the final analysis, the strength and background are not strong enough, and the persimmons are weak.
Liu Tianming said to Shiyou: "The Zhongfu wants to take root in Qingyang, two stores are far from enough, why not take this opportunity to control a few more? As for herbs..."
He glanced at Yuan Ziyi, and continued: "Fellow Daoist, please ask Qifeng to come forward to accommodate, and it will be resolved. Four shops, half price, how about it? This matter is considered to be a favor owed by the Liu family to Fellow Daoist. In the future, you and I will cooperate Opportunity."
Zhong Yan looked thoughtful, half price, of course it was only the storefront, not including the goods inside.
The Liu family has five shops in Qingyang, and the other one should be recycled to Fangshi.
After a long time, Zhong Yan sighed, "Forget it, but I don't have that much money right now."
Liu Tianming smiled and said, "That's easy to say."
The two parties signed an agreement on the spot to complete the transfer and delivery.
In addition to the 10,000 Lingshi deposit for the original herbal medicine, Zhong Yan only gave an extra 20,000 Lingshi worth of spiritual beads as a deposit, which is very flattering.
After a few days.
The shops of the Liu family closed down one by one, and the spiritual material shop among them was returned to Fangshi. As the news spread, various forces came to the door to find the agent to guard He Xingdao, hoping to bid for it.
When I asked for details, there was only one room, so I kept guessing, and He Xingdao said he didn't know.
Zhong Yan is not in a hurry, and has no plans to open for the time being, and is busy preparing for the wedding banquet.
On this day, Zhong Xiaozhong came running.
"Master, Shangwen's letter from home! Urgent letter!"
"oh?"
Zhong Yan received two letters, one was for his mother Qiu Jinxi, and the other was written "Uncle Father Qi".
Open the second envelope and take a look.
I talked about Li Shangwen's situation in the army earlier. He has become the second military division under Qin Ben's account. He has made many contributions and is highly valued. The situation of Qin Ben's army is clear, and everything is fine...
The last thing mentioned made Zhong Yan's eyes shine brightly.
Qin Ben was attacked and was assassinated by a Foundation Building monk who sneaked into the camp.
As a result, the two stood up from the ground to the air, and the assassin was killed by Qin Ben on the spot!
The warrior vacated!
Martial arts master!
Qin Ben has broken into the master realm!
