Chapter 58 Calculating Heaven is Harder Than Calculating People
"It's so awesome, who did it?"
Sha LiFei heard it, which was a bit incredible.
Even Li Yan frowned.
Killing a whole family is a taboo in the world!
The two sides are just competing for interests. Although they have already broken up, they still guard Jianghu Rules, let alone challenge the government's bottom line.
Despite the current turmoil, there may be peace in the future.
Therefore, he deliberately said that he wanted to assassinate Left Political Counselor, pretending to be a fool, because he did not want to get too involved with the Zhang family and his son.
What two family friends wouldn't talk about when they were betrayed.
Why did he cause this mess just one day after leaving?
The Zhang family and his son are not that stupid?
"That's the problem!"
Manager Wan clicked his tongue and shook his head and said, "No one knows who did it. It was discovered by the neighbors who noticed something was wrong in the morning and reported it to the authorities."
"Everyone in the family, including several direct disciples who were serving at the side, had their necks wiped, and they used Guanshan Knife!"
Li Yan frowned, "Swordsman?"
"Who knows?"
Manager Wan sneered, "Everyone knows that swordsmen sell their lives for money. If you don't want to reveal your identity, you can just frame him. Guanshan Knife is not difficult to do anyway."
"Just today, people from the Zhou family went to the Zhang Clan Martial Hall to cause trouble, demanding that the murderer be handed over. Naturally, the people from the Zhang family will not admit it. Now the two sides are arguing."
"What's more important is the identity of Zheng Xianhuai. The government wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but this time, they had to be dragged in."
Li Yan nodded and remembered the identity of Zheng Xian.
Eight Great Vajras of the Zhou family has different identities.
Zheng HeiBei and Yuan Qu control the two major gangsters in the city, specializing in making money for the Zhou family and doing dirty work that is not reputable.
Wang Yao runs a medical clinic. In addition to treating the injuries of people from the Zhou family and two other gangs, he also often provides free medical treatment to gain fame.
Zhou PeiDe, is mainly responsible for the operation of the Zhou family martial arts gym.
As for the remaining four kings, two are the chief escorts in the largest local escort agency, and the remaining two are instructors at Divine Fist Society, responsible for teaching boxing in various villages.
These people eat both black and white, forming the Zhou family's interest network.
Zheng Xianhuai is one of the coaches Divine Fist Society.
No matter how you calculate it, it is a semi-official status.
Xianyang Yamen can't do anything if he doesn't pursue the case.
Sha LiFei said speechlessly, "The Zhang family and his son would only attack him if their brains are crazy."
Manager Wan also nodded and said, "Who says it's not the case? But now that the matter has come to this, even Zhou Pan can no longer hold it back. There were already people fighting in the streets during the day."
"In order to calm down the incident, the imperial court also acquiesced that it was a swordsman who committed the murder. Now Yamen Runner is being sent to search everywhere. Brother Li is also one of the suspects."
"Just in the morning, Yamen Runner and others went to the Asking Dao Pavilion to look for you, saying that you were absconding in fear of crime and planned to be wanted. However, they were later stopped by the leader Guan WanChe and nothing happened."
When Sha LiFei heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Isn't this a poop pot that has no place to hold it? Are you just planting it indiscriminately?"
Manager Wan shook his head and said, "There is no way, the Yamen will tell you whether you have it or not, but don't go into the city yet."
"You all just stay here and stay at ease. When the storm is over, I will personally testify for you and put this matter to rest."
"Thank you so much, Brother Wan."
"Comrades from Jianghu, it should be."
Manager Wan said politely, ordered people to bring food, arranged their accommodation, and finally got busy decomposing the Thunderstruck Wood plant.
Inside the room, the three of them looked at each other.
"Fortunately we left early."
Sha LiFei said with lingering fear, "If I leave a day later, I will be blocked by the Yamen Runners early in the morning and thrown into prison. If the Zhou family continues to do mischief, Qiu Hou Wenzhan will not be able to escape!"
Li Yan and Wang Dao Xuan also nod.
They are gangsters, those Yamen Runners know all about their virtues, and they will do anything for the sake of business.
In this situation, it no longer matters who the murderer is.
It is more important to have an explanation and settle the matter.
When the time comes, the Zhang family and his son may pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to clear themselves of suspicion.
They will also die in prison for no apparent reason.
"Let's hide for a few days."
Li Yan said thoughtfully, "I suspect that someone did this, probably to take advantage of the chaos to sow discord and profit from it."
"Maybe we will continue to take action..."
Although the matter was revealed, the three of them were not worried.
Such is the way of the world, no one can have many enemies, and besides, they had already planned to watch the fire from the other side, so they simply rested here Shangyi Village for a while.
In addition, they didn't sleep all night yesterday and after eating randomly, the three of them turned on the lights and took a rest early.
Of course, when traveling in the world, you must be on guard against others.
The three of them all slept in their clothes and took turns keeping vigil...
The candlelight was dim and the woman was sobbing continuously.
Zhou Bai was lying on the bed. Although he had woken up, his face was pale and his eyes were staring at the beams blankly, like a dead person.
His heart is indeed dead.
He has been known as a genius since he was a child, surrounded by praise, and he is arrogant. He thinks that after a big victory in the arena, he will travel around the world and become famous all over the world.
Central Plains Song Mountain At your feet, the wind of martial arts is strong, and there are many masters...
The heads of the escort bureaus in Jinzhou all have unique skills...
Jiaozhou, Xiangxi, Jiangnan... In Eight Hidden Gates of the Ming Dynasty, strange people emerged in large numbers.
Hearing these stories since he was a child made him yearn for them.
But now, it's all in vain.
He became a cripple who couldn't even pee standing up!
A fat woman sat by the bed wiping tears, it was her biological mother Jia Shi.
Zhou PeiDe stood at the door with a gloomy face. Hearing the woman cry, he couldn't help but feel irritated and scolded, "Why are you crying? Is it useful?"
He didn't say anything, but after this reprimand, the fat woman suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and screamed, "You old thing, your son was beaten so silently, why are you taking out your anger on me!"
While talking, he jumped up and scratched.
The Zhou family, Jia Shi, is famous for being shrewd and cunning. Among Xianyang City, he has always been the master who only takes advantage and does not suffer any losses.
Zhou PeiDe was holding his breath when he was accidentally scratched on the face by Jia Shi. He immediately became angry and slapped her twice.
Jia Shi was slapped so hard that he fell to the ground, lowered his legs, pressed his chest, and cried loudly.
Zhou Bai was also brought back to his senses by the quarrel between the two, his face was flushed, veins popped out on his forehead, his trembling hands were holding on to the quilt, he stared at Zhou PeiDe and gritted his teeth and said:
"Father, avenge... for me!"
"Don't worry Bai'er, I will give you that boy's head!"
Zhou PeiDe saw evil fire rising in his eyes and turned around to leave.
After leaving the courtyard, Zhou PeiDe didn't take a few steps before he was stopped by a patrolling disciple. He carefully held his hands and said, "Third Master Chen, where are you going?"
Zhou PeiDe said coldly, "I have to tell you where I am going!"
The disciple looked embarrassed and quickly apologized, "Third Master Chen Don't be surprised, didn't Master Zheng just have an accident? Advisor said that someone wanted to make a profit, so they told them to be alert at night and no one could go out."
"I have something important to do, get out of here!"
Zhou PeiDe pushed the disciple away. After taking a few steps, he turned around and threatened. "Just pretend you didn't see me. If you dare to speak nonsense, you will know the consequences!"
"Yes, Third Master Chen."
The patrolling disciple looked bitter and did not dare to speak anymore.
Zhou PeiDe snorted, turned around and left the Zhou family mansion through the side door, disappearing into the night alone.
He walked quickly, and after a while, he came to a house.
The house was brightly lit with candles, and it was clearly the home of Yuan Qu.
There were disciples waiting outside the door for a long time. When a message was passed, Yuan Qu walked quickly and personally welcomed Zhou PeiDe into the courtyard.
Zhou PeiDe looked gloomy and didn't talk nonsense. After entering the lobby, he sat directly on the main seat and said in a cold voice, "How is it? Have you found it?"
Yuan Qu looked a little hesitant, "I found some clues, but things are not easy to handle..."
"Speak directly if you have anything to say, why are you so hesitant!"
Zhou PeiDe slapped the table hard and scolded.
To be honest, he didn't like Yuan Qu at all, not to mention that the other party indirectly caused Zhou Bai's injury, so it would be fine if he didn't take action directly.
But there is no way, what he controls in the Zhou family is the martial arts gym.
Since the disciple he sent was discovered, he has completely lost track of Li Yan and his group. With his eyes darkened, he had no choice but to find Yuan Qu.
"Yes."
Yuan Qu wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly said, "I got the news from Tai Xing Carriage Company."
"Senior Brother Zhou also knows that Tai Xing Carriage Company has been refusing to deal with us, and has been hooking up with Old Man Zhang and the others, so I sent someone to sneak in."
"Hidden Stake just found out today that these three people rented horses and went to Chunhua County. They didn't know what they were going to do. Now they have returned and are hiding Shangyi Village outside Xianyang City."
"Then why don't you arrest them?"
Zhou PeiDe yelled angrily.
Yuan Qu smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother, please calm down, this Shangyi Village is not ordinary. That Manager Wan of 'Hearing Sound Pavilion' is not only a Daoist craftsman, related to the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect, but also an elder Xianyang Craftsmen's Guild."
"It's already chaotic enough now. Craftsmen's Guild may seem inconspicuous, but there are many masters. If we involve them, I'm afraid Master won't be able to spare us."
Zhou PeiDe also frowned upon hearing this.
This Craftsmen's Guild belongs to the "eight works" of Five Lines and Eight Crafts in the world. The carpenters, stonemasons, and masons in the city are all under his management.
These people seem to only do business and make money by being friendly, but they actually know some secrets, and there are many Xuan Gate Peoples inside, which are difficult to offend.
When you go to the village to ask for someone, if they stop you and say it's not the case, there's nothing they can do.
Moreover, seeking revenge behind the ring is unreasonable in itself.
Thinking of this, Zhou PeiDe couldn't help but frown and stared at Yuan Qu coldly, "I know you Ghost Lord have many intentions. Since you said it, there must be a way."
"This..."
Yuan Qu looked around, then kicked his disciples out, and then said, "There is a way. If it succeeds, not only can we get revenge, but Craftsmen's Guild has no reason to continue to intervene. It depends on whether senior brother dares."
Zhou PeiDe laughed miserably, his eyes full of sorrow and anger. "Now that things have happened, there is nothing else I dare not do."
Yuan Qu whispered, "I know an expert in the Dharma lineage. As long as he takes action, he can lure that kid Li Yan out of the village, and then send swordsmen to besiege him. He will definitely die without a burial place."
"It's just that this master's price is not low."
Zhou PeiDe glanced coldly and said, "How much does it cost? I have saved some money over the years, and I also have a treasure for the house. If it is completed, I can give it to him."
"He doesn't want money."
Yuan Qu lowered his voice. "I... want a virgin Girl!"
