Yi He nodded and continued: "According to what the disciples said, Feng Buzhong said several times that he was framed and chased here. Now that I think about it, it may be somewhat credible.
Why did the group of masked men who chased him retreat so quickly as soon as they met my Yi Jian family? If you think about it carefully, you must have some conspiracy.
However, judging from the strength shown by Feng Buzhong, if he was really framed, why didn't he just escape? With his strength, it shouldn't be difficult to do. Is it possible that among the group of masked men, the strength is still there?
Is there anyone higher than him?
Why do powerful people appear so frequently in Chengwu County?"
Yi Jiang rubbed his chin and thought carefully before saying: "Could it be them? Second brother, you said before that those people had unknown origins and asked us to be vigilant at all times. However, the situation was urgent at the time and we did not investigate it in detail. Now it has happened.
This kind of thing"
"I also have this idea." Yi He nodded, "Although that group of people put in a lot of effort that night, most of the casualties were in my Yi family, and up to now, we still can't find out their background, not even their martial arts skills.
I’ve never seen it before, it’s really a big problem.”
"Didn't they say that they moved from the frontier and wanted to have a place in Xuanjing to prepare for the next competition for the position of one of the four major families?" Yi Hu was a little confused. Could this be false?
Yi He glanced sideways at Yi Hu, sighed in his heart, and said: "I did say it, but it may be half true and half false, so it can't be fully believed. Fighting for position may be true, but coming from the frontier may be false, but that's not important.
, what matters is whether the group of masked men who chased Feng Buchu that night were theirs.
If so, then they may not only want to fight for one of them, but more importantly, they want to replace the Jian family's position, and even worse, they want to dominate the Jian family. When the four of us fight and everyone loses, they can just sit back and take it.
Fisherman's profit.
If not, it would not be good. Another force has emerged out of thin air, and the water that shakes the mountain scriptures will become even more muddy."
Snapped!
Yi Hu slammed his palm on the table and said angrily: "Okay, those people are so vicious in their intentions. They are seeking the skin of a tiger! Huh, if we run into each other next time, I have to ask carefully."
When he said the word "Okay", he was already gritting his teeth.
"Humph Tiger? It's not certain who the Tiger is." Yi Jiang squinted his eyes with a cold expression.
——
Chengwu County, in the mountains and forests near the north of the city.
Feng Ziqing was sitting on a big stone, discussing with the five Orion brothers what to do next, while Mei Xia and Mei Xia were on the side giving advice. After all, they had no idea about the behavior of the four great families.
Seems very understanding.
"According to what you said, I seriously injured Yi Hai and Jian Che last night, will the Hou family take this as an opportunity to take action?" Feng Ziqing looked at Xia Xu, who had been analyzing just now, and asked.
.
"Yes, Xia, how can you be sure that the Hou family will be the first to attack?" Orion Sun Laosan shook his thigh and asked in confusion.
"Hehe, of course there is some basis for it." Xia Xu smiled proudly and said, "Think about it, the four major families were massacred one after another that night and suffered heavy losses, but if you think about it carefully, it is not the case.
First, there was a fire in the Yi family in the city, then the Jian family, then the Hou family, and finally the Feng family. It seemed that none of the four aristocratic families escaped, but according to the on-site investigation revealed by the police, the Jian family suffered the most casualties and was completely destroyed.
The Hou family was almost completely destroyed. It is said that two younger generations escaped and were rescued by the Feng family. The Feng family continued to fight until dawn, but they could not escape the end of being burned down.
Only the Yi family's situation is special.
Although the restaurant where they stayed was badly burned down, with barely a single good piece of wood left, there were not many dead people inside.
Those who died were later searched carefully by the government and found some relics on them from the ruins. From this, it was determined that they were the shopkeeper and several waiters of the restaurant, except for the Yi family.
Disciples. Think about it, what is strange about this."
Snapped
Xia Xu unfolded the folding fan and shook it. He looked confused and asked me quickly, pretending to be profound.
"What's weird? Did the disciples of the Yi family die not in the fire, but somewhere else?" Orion Zhou Laowu asked in confusion, and he was very complimentary.
"No." Xia Xu chuckled, "Let's not talk about where the disciples of the Yi family died. Everyone, why were the places where the four families lived were burned to the ground? There are no traces of the fight.
come out."
Orion Li Laosi raised his eyebrows and asked: "Burning it down with a big fire is probably to erase something. What must be erased with fire?"
"Yes, what should be erased?" Orion Qian Laoer also joined in the thinking.
Xia Xu looked around at everyone, smiled, and gave the answer.
"The corpse, the identity of the corpse."
"Go ahead, annihilate the Jian family, massacre the Hou family, and only two of the younger ones escaped. After fighting with the Feng family for a long time, there will naturally be heavy casualties. Naturally, the bodies of the night attackers cannot be transported away. The only way is to burn them with a fire.
Others have nowhere to check." After hearing this, Sun Laosan exclaimed and finally figured something out.
"Why burn the body? Naturally, you are afraid of being recognized. Why are you afraid of being recognized? Of course, you can find it out with a quick check, and he is also a person who is not unfamiliar to the public." The boss of Orion, Zhao, came to a conclusion in one sentence.
Xia Xu stretched out his thumb towards Boss Zhao, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. Unexpectedly, this man had a very clear mind and was a difficult guy.
He coughed twice and said: "Of course. If you think about it again, among the four fires, only the Yi family's one left only some fragmentary tokens of the shopkeeper and a few clerks, and even the skeleton was burned.
, it can be seen that this fire is no ordinary fire. The other three houses were also hit by fire. Although the flesh and blood of the corpses were burned away, some skeletons were left behind.
Why is there a skeleton left and not burned up? Naturally, it is because the person who died was a practitioner. So reasoning from this, why are there no members of the Yi family alone? Didn't the people of the Yi family go where they were when they were attacked at night? Or?
explain"
Feng Ziqing quickly raised his eyes, then his eyes changed, and asked calmly: "What is it? It can't be that the Yi family attacked the other three families at night, right? The Yi family does not have such strength, even if they did, why would he do this?"
Xia Xu raised his index finger, shook it, and said, "Brother Feng, do you still remember the secrets of the four families that I told you before? The period of competition seems to be not far away."
Feng Ziqing let out a long sigh and nodded, "That makes sense, but why did the Yi family do this? The Book of Shaking Mountains at that time was in the Yi family?"
Xia Xu shrugged, shook his head and said, "There's no way to know this, but these are my inferences and should not be taken as true. Just listen to them."
"Secrets of the four families? What secrets?" Boss Zhao of Orion asked in confusion.
"It's all old news, and I heard it from the older generation." Xia Xu took over the conversation, and then briefly talked about the fight between the four great families. Of course, when he said it,
Will adapt to the polish and hide the identity.
After Xia Xu finished speaking, Sun Laosan yelled again and cursed: "Damn it, why are the four major families so ruthless, like eating people without spitting out the bones? So that's what happened. Tsk, tsk, tsk, that emperor in the capital
Man, your methods are really clever."
"How can you be an emperor if you are not smart? Okay, that's enough gossip. Let's work together on what we should do next." Boss Zhao stopped and wanted to continue greeting Sun Laosan, who was from the four major families.
everyone said.
"I have an idea, can you guys refer to it?" Xia Xu said with a smile.
"Tell me and listen." Boss Zhao turned to look at Xia Xu.
"As mentioned just now, people from the four major aristocratic families must also know that the reason why they haven't completely started fighting is because in the final analysis there are many concerns between the families. Let's wait for another day or two. If the Hou family still
If there is no active exchange of ideas, and the Jian family is in trouble, we will add fuel to their fire."
"How to add it?" Boss Zhao's eyes lit up.
"Didn't two juniors of the Hou family escape? At that time, we can try to tie up those two and send them to the Yi family. Note that it is the Yi family, not the Jian family. The Jian family is a military family. Bullying
Two juniors may not be able to do what they want."
"Wonderful, but the Hou family is not a vegetarian. It would be too difficult to kidnap people in their camp. Do you have any idea?" Sun Laosan exclaimed.
Xia Xu smiled and said nothing, with an inscrutable look on his face.
