Chapter 309 On the eve of the memorial ceremony, the death knell sounded
When Chen Qi heard this, his expression suddenly froze, "Continue talking."
"Actually, our five families, Han, Guan, Yu, Qin, Zhang, were just instigated by others to attack the Chen family. There is someone else who really wants the lives of the Chen family and his wife!"
Chen Qi's expression turned gloomy at a visible speed, "Who?"
Qin Qiong paused, "Mr. Chen, regarding the transaction..."
Suzaku took over and said, "If you didn't tell me, I would kill you now!"
Qin Qiong trembled and could only say.
"Six years ago, a stranger came to us and asked us to follow his command and kill the Chen family and his wife. We actually refused at first. After all, we have no enmity with the Chen family and his wife."
"But that person promised us that as long as we kill the Chen family and his wife, we can divide up all the assets of the Chen family. As for the subsequent series of investigations, he will handle the aftermath."
"For things like framing Mr. Chen and putting you in jail, and poisoning the Chen family and his wife, he was the one who made the plans behind the scenes. We were just following orders."
Chen Qi's eyes were cold, "He told you to kill, so you just killed? Don't you have your own opinions?"
Qin Qiong smiled bitterly, "He brought many martial arts masters with him at that time and threatened that if we didn't listen to him, he would kill us all without knowing it. We had no choice but to do so."
"Afterwards, he also said that if we dared to reveal any information about him, we would disappear from this world forever."
Chen Qi was noncommittal, "Who is that person?"
"I don't know his specific identity, but I once heard that his subordinates called him 'Mr. Chen'."
Chen Qi's pupils condensed, "His surname is also Chen?"
"Yes, I thought to myself at that time that since that person's surname was Chen, he went to kill another person named Chen for no reason. There must be some ulterior motives in this."
Click~~~click~~~click~~~
Chen Qi tapped his fingers on the desk and fell into deep thought.
In Chen Qi's memory, he seems to have heard his father Chen Ze say this.
Chen Ze used to be the eldest son of a wealthy family. Because he didn't like the fight for power in the family and the intrigues, he voluntarily retired and lived alone.
Later, I got married, had children, started a family and started a business outside, and never thought about going back.
As for the rest, Chen Ze did not reveal much.
Chen Qi secretly wondered whether the death of his father Chen Ze had something to do with the Chen family behind it?
Seeing that Chen Qi had been silent, Qin Qiong took the initiative to ask cautiously, "Mr. Chen, I have told you everything I know. Regarding sparing my life, you see..."
Chen Qi raised his head and glanced at Qin Qiong, "When I find out about this matter, if what you say is true, I will spare your life."
Qin Qiong was overjoyed when she heard this, "I guarantee that every word is true!"
Chen Qi picked up the tea cup and took another sip of tea.
"Nice tea, thank you for the hospitality."
After saying this, Chen Qi stood up and left.
Qin Qiong bowed to Chen Qi and said, "Best farewell to Mr. Chen!"
After leaving the teahouse, Chen Qi paused.
"Suzaku, did you hear what happened just now?"
"Yes, I heard everything."
"I want you to get to the bottom of this matter. Are there any problems?"
Suzaku pondered for a while, "This matter has been going on for a long time. It may take some time to find out."
Chen Qi nodded, "It doesn't matter, I'll give you enough time to investigate. When we find out clearly, it won't be too late to report back."
Zhuque stood at attention and saluted, "Yes!"
Chen Qi raised his head slightly and looked at the sky above his head.
"As for now, we just have to wait for the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to settle the old accounts."
…
In the next few days, a breaking news hit the headlines of major news media.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, a grand ceremony will be held at the top of Fenghuang Mountain in Fancheng.
The heads of the five aristocratic families in Fancheng, Han, Guan, Yu, Qin, and Zhang, will personally come to the scene to carry the coffin and move the tomb of the Chen family couple who were killed by them, wearing sackcloth and mourning.
White-background photos of Han Yinghua, Guan Huachi, Yu Yongchang, Qin Qiong, and Zhang Hongru were also made into photo frames and published one after another.
This kind of photo is usually used to commemorate the dead.
When used on living people, it means a sinful curse.
The five great families of Han, Guan, Yu, Qin, and Zhang can be said to be famous in Fancheng.
Their power is overwhelming, and they control almost half of Fancheng's business empire. It is assumed that everyone knows about it.
Many people wonder why families with the surnames Han, Guan, Yu, Qin, and Zhang would wear sackcloth and mourning for two souls who had been dead for several years?
Then a series of overwhelming news shocked some outsiders beyond measure.
It turns out that there was something fishy about the Chen family tragedy six years ago, when the Chen couple committed suicide by taking poison.
It was the five major families of Han, Guan, Yu, Qin and Zhang who coveted the Chen family's assets and jointly planned to poison them to death.
Later, some local families in Fancheng, such as Hu, Qi, and Cai, realized that something was wrong and wanted to fight against the injustice of the Chen family. In the end, the five surnamed families joined forces to wipe out all of them.
At this point, the unbelievable unjust, false and wrongful convictions in the past finally came to light.
However, what deserves everyone's further investigation is who can have such great energy to make the five behemoths Han, Guan, Yu, Qin, and Zhang willingly plead guilty and die?
At the same time, all the wealthy people in Fancheng received an invitation.
The content is to invite them to Fenghuang Mountain on the seventh day of the first lunar month to participate in the ceremony of the Chen family and his wife.
No coincidence.
In Fancheng, a group of brave and solemn soldiers holding real guns and live ammunition suddenly appeared on various streets.
At first glance, it was estimated that there were no less than 10,000 people!
For the people in Fancheng, they are naturally very familiar with the troops of the Southwest Military Region.
But now these soldiers are extremely unfamiliar.
Each of them has a golden badge on his chest.
It was an eight-clawed golden dragon, flying in the clouds and mist, pointing straight into the sky.
There are also three golden characters marked below:!
An insider revealed that this is the most mysterious special force in China. The border war that broke out a few years ago was calmed down precisely because of their appearance.
This is a legendary force that is feared by all countries around the world!
But why did such a mysterious force suddenly land in Fancheng?
Many people can’t figure it out, let alone guess it!
Within a five-star hotel.
Early this morning, Ye Xiangyu was awakened by the noise outside the window.
He has a habit of having trouble falling back asleep when his sleep is interrupted.
So I simply got up, washed myself, and got dressed.
A subordinate came in pushing a dinner plate, "Master Ye, breakfast is here."
Ye Xiangyu nodded slightly, and with the servant's service, he walked to the dining table and sat down, put on his napkin and straightened his clothes.
