Chapter 1073: Undercurrent of the city(1/2)
"Oh, if you don't have a backer, you will always be at the mercy of others!"
Qi Zhengyan sighed.
This was exactly what he was worried about. He had no backing in the sect, and he didn't know the character of the elders who came here.
If anything happens here in Yicheng, he will most likely become an abandoned son of the Huanhua Sword Sect. Not only will the incident in Yicheng be unable to be avenged, but he will also be hunted down as a traitor to the Huanhua Sword Sect.
This makes Qi Zhengyan more and more eager to leave the Huanhua Sword Sect. Then he will be free from the constraints!
With the "Demon Prison Mysterious Embryo Sutra", the Demon Lord's inheritance, and the support behind the reincarnation of King Buddha, you will definitely be able to create your own world!
Meng Qi knew that this was a point of pain that Qi Zhengyan didn't want to talk about, so he turned to say:
"Cousin, your uncle is having trouble doing things. Is it because he is timid or for some other reason?"
"Perhaps I'm getting older and thinking about retreat and retirement," Qi Zhengyan guessed.
If you do the main thing to make money, you will definitely get a high score. If you do something in the know, you will also enjoy it. And you don’t dare to go too far or be too blatant, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered. In one year, you can buy dozens of acres of land and build a new house.
, Even if it is good, even if Qi Zhengyan's uncle occupies good fields and shops, since there are no mines, medicine gardens and weapon refining workshops here, there will not be much more than him. Therefore, if you want to give it to him after he gets old and frail.
If your children and grandchildren want to leave a wealthy family, you have to find another way.
"That's right, well, it's also possible that he is old and comatose. He wants to keep things quiet and that he can solve the Tang family's affairs. He is afraid that if he reports it to the police, he will be suspected of being incompetent and be transferred away." Meng Qi nodded lightly.
This kind of action to eliminate the power of the Huanhua Sword Sect will definitely not resort to overt violence. Otherwise, even though the city is backed by the Wang family in Yedu and is quite far away from Sixiu Mountain where the Huanhua Sword Sect is located, the Huanhua Sword Sect will
In order to save face, we have to send people to support us. We can only gather other forces first and squeeze out the Huanhua Sword Sect's forces with uncooperative cold violence.
As a result, the Huanhua Sword Sect can live a decent life. There are only fields, manors and ordinary shops here, which are not important. They often pinch their noses and acquiesce. At most, they blame the boss for being incompetent and not having good dealings with the local forces.
Qi Zhengyan's uncle was willing to take the risk of being punished later, but also wanted to suppress the matter and maintain stability. Apart from his ulterior motives, the only explanation is old and foolish.
Qi Zhengyan nodded, agreeing with Meng Qi's words.
"Anyway, if things show signs of corruption, cousin, please bypass my uncle and reply directly to the door."
Meng Qi ate a lot of meat and drank a lot of wine.
Qi Zhengyan's expressionless face showed a wry smile: "To be honest, if there is no other choice, I don't want to send anyone from the sect."
When the time comes, the person sent to suppress the situation will definitely be strong, and may even be on location. If he later says, "Xiao Qi, you are quite calm in your work, my uncle will show you two moves", or "Xiao Meng, you
The swordsmanship is outstanding and makes people tick. How about I suppress my strength and compete with you in sword competition? Hey, how can you know the golden bell..." This will make things troublesome.
Meng Qi nodded heavily: "If we can solve it ourselves, of course we don't want to disturb the mountain. It's just a last resort and a worrying background."
While they were talking, it suddenly became noisy outside. A clerk knocked on the door and came in, saying in a panic: "Master Qi, people from the Ye family are here to hunt down the murderer!"
He took a peek at Meng Qi with fear, curiosity and awe. Chief Qi's cousin actually killed the Ghost Sword Li Sui without saying a word. He was still in the Ye Mansion. Such strength and courage were too much.
It’s terrible!
Could it be that he came here specifically to avenge his relatives?
Chief Qi’s cousin, what should he be called...
Qi Zhengyan and Meng Qi discussed for a while. At this time, he felt confident. He stood up expressionlessly and said lightly: "Please tell the Ye family later that my cousin has never left the house."
"Yes, Mr. Qi." The waiter replied hurriedly.
Meng Qi did not change his clothes, patted the dust on his body, and followed Qi Zhengyan out of the backyard and outside the shop.
There were dozens of people standing outside the door. Many of them looked like they were highly skilled in martial arts. The leader was a young man in splendid clothes and jade robes. He was twenty-five or six years old. His face was covered with makeup and his eyes were vicious.
Qi Zhengyan's eyes changed slightly when he looked at the person in front of him. Others might not be able to see anything, but he could tell that Mr. Ye in front of him was not simple. He had a trace of evil spirit in him. He was possessed by the person who raised the evil god.
body.
The last time I saw Mr. Ye, he did not have such power, so he must have been bewitched by him at that time, and now his body has been taken over.
Unfortunately, he had no reason to point out that Mr. Ye was not himself at this time. The method of cultivating the evil god was extremely difficult to see through at a glance. Qi Zhengyan knew that if he said it directly, he would not only be criticized by the people in front of him, but also arouse suspicion.
At this time, he was alone in the city, and his uncle was suspected of being bribed. Once he was bitten, his crotch would be rotten with yellow mud, and it would be shit if it wasn't shit!
Mr. Ye didn't know that he had been spotted by Qi Zhengyan. When he saw Meng Qi wearing a green shirt, he pointed directly at him and asked the maids, servants and guests next to him: "Is it him?"
The maids and servants saw Meng Qi's appearance and were speechless. They didn't know how to answer. The young master glared at him and said quickly: "It's him, he killed Mr. Li!"
The young master turned to look at Qi Zhengyan, and said with a serious face: "Master Qi, why did you send someone to sneak into the Ye Mansion and kill my guest? Is this the way the Huanhua Sword Sect does things?"
Qi Zhengyan walked down the steps slowly, his momentum so calm that the young master couldn't help but take a step back. Why, after not seeing him for a few days, Master Qi gave people a completely different feeling.
"You are making up accusations and looking for someone to frame my cousin." Qi Zhengyan said directly and indifferently without asking any questions.
The young master was stunned, and then became furious: "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, you are saying that the accusation is framed?"
"Of course, I personally accompanied my cousin and never left him, right?" Qi Zhengyan turned around and said to the shopkeeper.
His eyes were cold, and the shopkeeper didn't dare not answer: "Yes, Director Qi's cousin has never left Mipu."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Young Master Ye, did you hear that? If you frame my cousin again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Qi Zhengyan looked at Young Master Ye coldly.
Young Master Ye gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter what you say, follow me to see the official!"
"How can an innocent person see an official? Even if he is the magistrate of the county and the arrester comes personally, he can't frame my cousin!" Qi Zhengyan's expression did not change.
"Okay, okay! Catch him and go to Liumen!" Young Master Ye was furious and pointed at Meng Qi.
The master next to him was about to jump out. Qi Zhengyan took a step forward and looked around them:
"This is the land of the Huanhua Sword Sect, do you want to take action?"
He took another step and shouted without any emotion:
"You want to make enemies of our faction?"
"You want to declare war on our faction?"
His momentum was so overwhelming that Young Master Ye and the masters beside him took a few steps back. Only then did they remember the identity of the other party, the leader of the Huanhua Sword Sect!
Just when Young Master Ye wanted to say something, Meng Qi suddenly smiled, looked at him and said, "Young Master Ye, when my cousin's hand and hamstrings were broken, it was you who accused him of Luo Zhi and framed him.
Li Sui?"
Young Master Ye was about to answer, but when he saw Meng Qi's smile without a smile, his heart suddenly became cold. He thought of Li Sui who lived deep in Ye Mansion but was brutally killed. He swallowed hard, snorted coldly, and turned his head.
Then he walked away, walking very fast, as if he was trying to get rid of some evil spirit possessing him.
"Cousin, I'm not afraid. In the future, when you go out, you have to be careful of the Ye family's revenge. After all, they have the clan's most valuable soldiers." Qi Zhengyan warned, worried about Meng Qituo.
Just as Meng Qi was about to answer, there were sounds of crying on the street, but it was a group of people holding a carriage and walking while crying.
"The Wan family?" Qi Zhengyan muttered to himself in confusion and asked a waiter to go over and inquire.
After a while, the clerk returned and said: "Reporting to Chief Qi, Prince Wan was killed on the river, and his bodyguards returned home with his body guarded. It is said that the Second Prince of Tang was also there at the time, but he was injured by an assassin and fell into the water. His life or death is uncertain.
"
When Young Master Wan went out to do business, he naturally had a bodyguard. However, at that time, he felt that there was no need for protection and it was inconvenient to discuss matters with the master Tang Ergong beside him, so he did not call them. After he was killed, the bodyguards came and collected the body.
Returning to the city, they waited until dawn. They first sent someone home to inform them, and after receiving a response, they escorted the body into the city, much slower than Meng Qi.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that you encountered a lot of things in Yicheng!"
A familiar voice rang in the ears of Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan, causing them to turn around and look behind them in surprise.
At this time, a man and a woman were standing behind them. The man was wearing a black outfit, but it did not look dark and evil at all, but more dignified and noble. The woman was wearing a white skirt and carrying a half-man on her back.
Tall box.
"Brother Shang Huaikong, Miss Ruan, why are you here!?"
Meng Qi shouted in surprise.
Qi Zhengyan's stiff face also showed a hint of surprise.
Shang Yi stepped forward and smiled:
"Yushu and I went out to travel around the world, preparing to go to Yedu for adventure. And last time I saw you in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space, you seemed a little worried. Anyway, we are also on the way to Yicheng, so we came to take a look!"
Qi Zhengyan was greatly moved when he heard this and said with a smile:
"Thank you!"
Shang Yi shook his head and said:
"Why are you so polite? We are brothers in the same team after all, so there is no need to be so polite!"
Then he looked at the direction that Third Young Master Ye left and the direction of Wanjia's carriage and said:
"It seems that there is an undercurrent surging here in Yicheng! It is raising evil gods and dead people!"
"Raising the Evil God?"
Ruan Yushu and Meng Qi were surprised.
Qi Zhengyan, on the other hand, immediately looked around, not wanting this matter to be exposed like this.
But he was shocked to find that the people around him didn't pay attention to them at all, or in other words, they simply ignored the four of them at this time!
He looked at Shang Yi deeply and said nothing.
Shang Yi wrote to Meng Qi and Ruan Yu:
