The two people hiding in the corner still did not choose to take action. One of them sighed before speaking.
"Forget it, the owner of this house is kind to me, and I always keep my grudges clear when doing things. Besides, his mere strength is of no consequence to us, so we might as well let him go."
The person who spoke had a firm look in his eyes. Seeing his firm look, the other person thought of the rumors in the city and simply gave the other person a favor.
"Okay! I appreciate your kindness when entering the city this time, but you won't let the rest of the Liang family go, right?"
When the man heard this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "I am no longer a member of the Liang family. I, Hongzhi, have already taken refuge in my Buddha."
It turned out that this person was Liang Qi of the Liang family. After becoming a monk in Jinshan Temple, his monastic name was Hongzhi. Unexpectedly, he also secretly came to Jinzhou City.
After saying that, he quickly made a subtle pattern on the bottom corner of the house's door, so that if others saw it, they would not enter the house.
Then the two of them hurriedly merged into the night and disappeared around the corner. Liang Sheng knew nothing about it!
Just when Liang Sheng was carefully hiding, there were also people in Jinzhou City and County Government who were frowning.
At this moment, the county magistrate Xia Zhiqiu was sitting on the throne, flanked by Liang Ying and Wuchang. Liang Ying had a ruddy complexion and looked high-spirited, while Wuchang looked a little old.
The goal of these people is obvious, and it is not just to obtain property. I wonder if you have noticed that the price of food and vegetables in the city has risen sharply in the past few days."
"But the ones who died the day before yesterday and yesterday were Liang Chuan, my steward of the Liang family, and Wu Lei, the steward of my father-in-law's family, so it's not that there is no pattern."
"The ancestor of the Liang family should be in the east main house of Liangjia City. If the thieves set fire to the city, the ancestor of the Liang family would not let them escape, right?"
If Liang Ying's conjecture is correct, I'm afraid their purpose is definitely not as simple as killing people and making money, but a premeditated action.
Zheng Wanchun nodded, because he had the same idea. Xia Zhiqiu took a deep breath at this time and patted Zheng Wanchun on the shoulder. It was really inappropriate to speak just now.
Speaking of this, Xia Zhiqiu lowered his head and thought. Liang Ying and Wuchang were also thinking about what they would do next if they were right, but there were too many possibilities.
At this moment, Zheng Wanchun suddenly barged in without knocking, his face was a little anxious, and he glanced at Liang Ying.
"If they first planned the supply in the city, and now they have completed this task, if I am the thief, then next."
Of course, the Wu family also has many descendants who are at the sixth level of acquired martial arts, but they are trapped by a bottleneck and have been unable to break through to the upper level of acquired seventh level martial arts.
The road to spiritual practice is so difficult!
Liang Ying didn't know what Wuchang was thinking. At this moment, he looked at Xia Zhiqiu and Wuchang in silence. He was the youngest among the three, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Sir, there's a fire in the city."
"I remember that after the massacre outside the city, the people who died on the first day in the city were the main ones, and the second day it was the boss who died, and the third day..."
Xia Zhiqiu and Wuchang did not speak when they heard this. They just looked at Liang Ying and motioned for him to continue talking.
However, the ancestors of the Liang family did not leave any thieves behind, so the matter is completely serious and the thieves' strength must be re-evaluated!
Zheng Wanchun glanced at Wuchang at this moment, with some hesitation in his expression. When Wuchang saw this, he immediately took his leave and left.
Wuchang was surprised at first, and then felt lucky. Fortunately, it was not in the direction of the Wu family, but at this moment, Xia Zhiqiu's voice came faintly.
Um?
When Xia Zhiqiu and the others heard this, they immediately walked out of the room. When they went out, they saw that the east side of the city was as bright as day, with flames soaring into the sky, thick smoke billowing, and even faint cries could be heard.
After saying something, Zheng Wanchun took out a torn black sleeve collar, but Xia Zhiqiu just glanced at it, his expression extremely ugly.
Of course they could think of this. The question was what to do next, and Liang Ying was not polite. He suddenly stood up and took out a few teacups on the coffee table.
"Then why didn't you say anything just now?"
Liang Ying's expression changed greatly, because the east of the city was in the direction of the Liang family's camp. He was so anxious that he didn't have time to say hello and left directly to the east of the city.
After all, Wuchang was already seventy years old. Looking at Liang Ying with such magnanimity, he couldn't help but feel helpless in his eyes, wondering why the Wu family didn't have such an outstanding descendant.
"Your Majesty the County Lord, Mr. Father-in-law, we have spent a lot of manpower searching in the past few days and almost turned Jinzhou City upside down, but we still haven't found the murderer.
From this point of view, there is only one reason left, and that is that the murderer is extremely powerful, at least a top-level martial arts master, otherwise the result would not be this."
Liang Ying spoke at this time, her tone extremely affirmative, "In addition, the Bai and Chen families outside the city have been wiped out, and they are the largest grain merchants in our city.
Xia Zhiqiu vaguely knew what Liang Ying was thinking, so he couldn't help but stand up and walk to Liang Ying's side. The same was true in Wuchang.
Xia Zhiqiu couldn't help but change his face when he heard this. The reason why the Liang family could stand erect in Jinzhou City was because of the presence of the ancestor of the Liang family.
Because the Liang and Wu families cannot be allowed to know that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Wusheng Cult, otherwise they may escape overnight.
As he said that, Xia Zhiqiu looked at Zheng Wanchun. The head catcher of Jinzhou City, whose cultivation had reached the eighth level of the day after tomorrow, had an ugly expression on his face at this time.
"Your Majesty, we didn't catch anyone. When the Liang family ancestor showed up, the thief was already gone!"
"No Life Cult!"
However, I took the opportunity to grab the sleeve of one of them and saw a white lotus mark on his left arm."
Dian Shi was in charge of the county government's treasury, and the clerk was of course also responsible for the county government's account books. The two stewards of Liang and Wu had a lot of money in their hands.
At this moment, they finally had a direction. The three of them had a sharp look in their eyes, but Xia Zhiqiu felt vaguely that something was wrong.
Besides, he was actually a little worried. If the thieves could burn down the Liang family area, why couldn't the Wu family?
When Wuchang left and there were only two people left in the house, Zheng Wanchun said carefully: "Actually, when I was patrolling in the east of the city, I met a few men in black, but they ran away immediately and I didn't catch up.
.
As Liang Ying listed the victims one by one, Xia Zhiqiu and Wuchang's faces became more and more serious.
Xia Zhiqiu was shocked when he heard this, and then slammed the table, "This thief has such a big appetite."
"Looking at the trajectory of the murderer's crime, first the county government officials who were in charge of the warehouse were removed, then the clerk was in charge of arranging clerical affairs, and then I, the Liangwu family, were in charge of the external affairs, but these were all related to property."
After all, the Great Yan Dynasty had been pursuing the Wusheng Cult for hundreds of years, and they still exist to this day, and countless families have been destroyed by the Wusheng Cult.
"No wonder the ancestors of the Liang family didn't catch the thief. Since it was Wusheng Cult who took action, it makes sense."
The worry on Zheng Wanchun's face became more and more obvious. He looked at Xia Zhiqiu and hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak. Xia Zhiqiu thought for a moment and then said:
"You don't have to worry too much. You can't deal with the Wusheng Cult with common sense. Later, you can send a trusted confidant to the state capital for eight hundred miles to report that the Wusheng Cult is causing trouble in Jinzhou City!"
When Zheng Wanchun heard this, he raised his head sharply, surprise flashing in his eyes.
