"Cough cough cough cough..." Xie Hongwei coughed violently, then slumped on the sofa in pain, clutching his heart.
Several secret guards tightened their hearts: "Master."
"It's okay."
Xie Hongwei waved his hand to stop the guard's support, took out a towel and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then leaned on the sofa helplessly.
Compared with the physical pain, the feeling of powerlessness in his heart made him feel even more despairing.
"Is my Xie clan really going to fall from here?"
Xie Hongwei looked like he had aged for decades, his eyes were no longer sharp, only decadent.
after awhile.
The old man in gray robe, whose arms had been cut off by Tang Ming earlier, also stopped his injuries and walked out again.
He was already a strong man in the Nascent Soul Realm, so the injury to his broken arm was not serious. At this time, his arms had been reattached and wrapped in blood-stained bandages, but his face was a little pale.
"Master, we still underestimated Tang Xuantian's strength."
The gray-robed old man looked a little frightened: "This man has unparalleled fighting power. In my opinion, he can fight even if he is half-step to the divine realm. If he hadn't saved his hand before, I would still have been killed right now."
Xie Hongwei's eyes flickered and he slowly straightened up from the sofa.
He thought for a moment and then continued: "Let the secret guards investigate Xuantian Group. I need to know the financial resources of Xuantian Group and Tang Xuantian's influence in Jinling."
"Go now, I need the results tomorrow."
"In addition..." Xie Hongwei's face darkened: "Keep watching the inside of the Xie family for me. Some people want to play dirty, so I will accompany them to the end!"
"Inform the powerful people at Ruinan Medicinal Material Base to come back and take charge of the family first."
"All secret guards of the Xie clan, be on guard!"
A fierce murderous intention flashed across Xie Hongwei's old face.
The gray-robed old man's pupils shrank: "Master, do you think it's not that the second young master is colluding with evil cultivators?"
"I don't know yet, but... I always feel that all the evidence is too complete, and it's a bit weird."
Xie Hongwei waved his hand and said in a solemn voice: "You go ahead and do your work. Remember, Xuantian Group will give me a reply as soon as possible."
"Okay sir."
The old man in gray robe bowed and nodded.
……the other side.
Tang Ming didn't know about the internal struggles of the Xie family, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Chu Yugang said anxiously: "Master Tang, I'm really sorry. I originally took you to visit Xie's family, but it turned out to be a bit unpleasant..." "It doesn't matter."
Tang Ming shook his head slightly and said calmly: "You go back later and tell Chu Wenyuan and Wei Honglin to prepare for the worst and ask them to prepare more funds and seize as much of the market as possible."
"Everything in the world is for profit."
"I don't believe that the Xie family really has that much authority and can prevent other retail investors and pharmacies from joining!"
Tang Ming's eyes sparkled.
If the Xie family is united and everyone in the family is united, this is really possible.
But after meeting today and seeing the faces of those direct descendants of the Xie family, Tang Ming felt a lot more relieved.
From ancient times to the present, the rise and fall of every wealthy family depends not only on the heritage and strength of the family at this time, but also on whether the younger members of the family have outstanding talents and whether they can carry the banner in the future.
Take the many wealthy families in Jinling as an example. Each family has its dandy children as well as its elite children.
But when he went to the Xie family today, all he saw were the arrogant, domineering and arrogant young masters and young ladies. There was only one old man from the Xie family who was somewhat courageous.
Such a family is not worthy of attention at all.
...Not long after the vehicle was driving, Tang Ming suddenly discovered a lively market ahead.
Tang Ming was stunned for a moment: "Is there also a market for medicinal materials here?"
"Back to Mr. Tang, this area is not far from the Xie family's ancestral home. It was also the medicinal materials market in the old city. Since the new market was opened, it has become deserted."
Chu Yugang explained: "Most of them are small retail investors, and there are no big drug stores here."
"Well..." Tang Ming nodded slightly. Just when he was about to turn his head, he suddenly frowned.
Buzz! Inside the storage ring, a sandalwood box suddenly trembled! It was the ebony box from Xie Lingyun that he got in the secret cave of Ansong Medicinal Material Base last night.
"parking!"
Tang Ming suddenly spoke.
Chu Yugang didn't know why, but he still obeyed and parked the car on the side of the road: "Master Tang, what's wrong?"
"It's okay. You can go back first. I suddenly want to go shopping in the old market."
Tang Ming said a few casual words and then got out of the car with Zi Ri.
After waiting for the vehicle to leave, Tang Ming looked at the people on the left and right and made a magic trick.
Whoosh! An ebony box appeared in the palm of my hand.
The box is opened.
There were still several pieces of calligraphy lying inside, but what was trembling was the piece of sapphire in the corner, which was glowing with crystal clear green light and fluctuating abnormally.
"This is... the power of blood?"
Tang Ming frowned slightly and couldn't help but look up at the market across the road: "Could it be that there are also direct descendants of the Xie family here, and they are recognized by the power of Xie Lingyun's bloodline?"
"Zi Ri, let's go over and take a look."
Tang Ming put away the box again and walked towards the other side of the road with Ziri.
In any case, Xie Lingyun also gave him treasures such as the Dragon Hunting Plate. Originally, he went to Xie's house today to give back the relics, but he didn't expect it to cause an unpleasant incident.
Now, since Xie Lingyun's relics have taken the initiative to find the inheritor, he will naturally not interfere with it.
……soon.
Tang Ming and Ziri came to this old market. As Chu Yugang said, the medicinal materials market here is not big and looks very desolate.
Only a few retail traders set up stalls on the ground.
Although the quality of the medicinal materials is not bad, it is not as good as the quality of other markets. The customers are not bad, but the business is bleak.
"Sir, do you want to buy some medicinal materials?"
A drug dealer looked at Tang Ming for a moment, then came over and said with a smile: "You have come to the right place. The medicinal materials here are all of the highest quality. Look at this 50-year-old chicken blood grass. It has powerful medicinal effects and is a blood-tonifying agent."
It's a good thing to strengthen the foundation..." Tang Ming glanced at the chicken blood grass on his stall and said lightly: "There are only six years of medicinal materials. Soaking and ripening with chemicals is a bit like twenty years of age. How did it get into your mouth?
Is it going to be the 50th year?”
Karma! The smile on the drug dealer's face froze, knowing that he had met an expert, he stepped back.
Tang Ming had no intention of arguing with such vendors selling counterfeit medicines, so he strolled forward. Finally, in a corner of the market, he saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
The young man was dressed simply, with black-rimmed glasses for myopia, and a pair of white-washed canvas shoes at his feet, which made him look very childish.
Seeing a customer coming, the young man who was squatting on the ground stood up in a hurry, blushed and said: "Hello, boss, are you buying medicinal materials?"
"..." Tang Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly.
This was the first time he saw a vendor talking to a customer. The first thing he said was asking if you wanted to buy medicinal materials. If it were other old youtiaos, they would have already started selling products.
