Chapter 27 Story (please follow up)

Understood!

In the duty room, when Qi Ping shouted these words, the three girls were shocked. However, at this moment, he had no intention of paying attention to their emotions.

Pressing Qi Ping against the center of his eyebrows, in his mind, information elements were extracted one by one, the complex ones were deleted and simplified, and a complete logical chain was reassembled.

The clues he grasped were like pieces of a puzzle that fit together to form the secret truth.

"What did you find? What did you understand?"

Yongning bit his lip and asked, Qiu Shui stared intently.

"Yes, tell me quickly." Anping urged.

Qi Ping took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear. He sorted out his words and said with a smile:

"Let me tell you a story."

Telling a story? The two princesses were surprised.

Qi Ping spoke to himself:

"Many years ago, due to the war, some people in Yuzhou were trying to make a living and became bandits. It was always difficult for a lone ranger to survive in the martial arts world. Therefore, many groups sprang up, and one of them was known as the 'Five Tigers of Yuzhou'."

"It is naturally not easy for those who can become famous. These five people can establish themselves only because they came into contact with spiritual practice. Thirty years ago, for some reason, one of the Yuzhou Five Tigers died, leaving only four. This also prompted them to decide

Retreat to the world."

"To prevent their enemies from retaliating, the four of them dispersed and kept their names anonymous. It happened that the war had subsided and everything was waiting to be done. Three of them used their accumulated wealth to buy houses and sell land and became rich locals. Only one knew that he would die soon.

, and donate the wealth in hand to the clan of origin.”

"Just like that, thirty years passed in the blink of an eye, and the four people passed away one after another. No one knew that they were the former Five Tigers. Only their direct descendants still kept the secrets of their fathers."

"But the events of the past are not completely over. Perhaps because of a certain opportunity, a mysterious martial arts organization knew of their existence and wanted to learn something or find something from the descendants of the four people. This involves

It is very important to find a secret that cannot be known to the government, or even be left alive to let the news leak out."

"So, this group of people disguised themselves as gangsters who stole money and killed people, and went around to commit crimes. They were found one after another. In order to avoid being noticed by the government, they also killed many innocent people to confuse the public. Gradually, their murderous reputation spread.

And among the Four Tigers, a descendant named Sun Chong gradually realized that someone was looking for him."

Having said this, Qi Ping paused and took a sip of water to let them digest the information.

Then the story continues:

"The descendants of the Sun family knew the purpose of the other party's visit and were very scared. Every time they heard about the tragedy, they would lose control of their emotions. However, he had worries in his heart and did not want to say it. He just hoped that he would not be found."

"It wasn't until he learned that the group of people started to move towards the river feast that he could no longer maintain his composure. Just at this time, the news that the governor's team was about to arrive spread throughout the city. He felt that this was the only way to save himself.

If there is an opportunity, he will tell the governor the secret he has in order to seek asylum."

"This is a good idea. When the governor arrives, no matter how fierce the gangster is, he will not take action. At least during this period, he will be safe. This is indeed the case.

The practice organization entered the city one step ahead of the governor and targeted the Sun family. However, if they took action at this time, they would definitely attract the governor's attention. This was something they did not want. Therefore, they lurked in the city and waited for the governor to leave.

Do it again."

"Finally, the governor entered the city, and the whole city watched. The descendants of the Sun family closed the shop early, returned home, gathered their families, and told their secrets and decisions. However, his unusual behavior also caused a stir.

caught the attention of those practitioners."

"That group of people knew that if the descendants of the Sun family joined the governor, the matter would be exposed. In desperation, they had no choice but to take great risks and take action in advance. But what they did not expect was that a small policeman attracted the attention of the government.

People search.

The news of their murder was accidentally overheard by a fool... As a result, they had to evacuate in a hurry and tried to set fire to cover up the omissions, but they still left a lot of bugs..."

Qi Ping put down the tea cup and said calmly amidst the quiet sound of rain:

"The story is over."

quiet.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Qi Shu squatted by the brazier, the dancing flames reflected in her big eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Anping sat at the table, holding his pink and white chin with his slender and tender hands, listening intently.

Princess Yongning, who was dressed in purple clothes and had a bookish air, looked surprised. After a long time, she said:

"Is that so... So, the root cause is related to the so-called Yuzhou Five Tigers, and the gangsters were 'forced' to kill by Sun Yuanwai's actions?"

She understood.

Qi Ping nodded: "There may be some distortion, but the general process should be like this."

This story was pieced together by him through known clues.

Some details are not completely certain, such as the retirement of the Five Tigers. According to "The Legend of the Hero of the River", one tiger died in the battle, and the other four disappeared sadly.

But the reality is not certain.

Sun Yuanwai's actions were deduced based on known conditions. The restaurant clerk's description said that the restaurant closed early and the family gathered in the inner hall to discuss matters...

These doubts can only be explained in this way.

This explanation makes sense.

He then explained his reasoning process in detail and showed the evidence.

Yongning couldn't help but marvel and said excitedly: "I'm afraid this is the truth."

"But there are still doubts that have not been solved." Qi Ping said.

Yongning asked: "Is it that secret? The secret that the group of practitioners are pursuing? Speaking of which, why do you believe that those people have an agenda other than seeking revenge? Aren't vendettas more common?"

Qi Ping shook his head and said: "It's unlikely to be a vendetta, it's not worth it."

Yes, it's not worth it. The reason is very simple. If it's a vendetta that involves up to four families, why do you need to commit ten additional cases to hide the purpose?

Killing only four households and spreading them out in various places would not have caused much commotion. But now there is such a big commotion mainly because too many people were killed...

Qi Ping said: "In my opinion, rather than seeking revenge, that group of people is more likely to be looking for something, maybe an important secret, maybe an item, this is reasonable."

After a pause, he frowned and said:

"But I can't figure it out. What is it that is so important that a group of practitioners take such a big risk to find it?"

"Besides, neither the gangsters nor the descendants of the four families want the government to know?"

He was confused.

Very puzzled.

Think about it, in order to hide the true purpose, the criminal killed so many extra people, was wanted by the whole government, and even committed the crime under the eyes of the governor... What on earth is so important?

The same is true for the victims. Not to mention the other three families, Sun Yuan alone realized that the danger was approaching very early, but he endured it for two months and refused to report it to the official.

I don't want to say it.

Or do you think... that secret is so important that the county government can't protect him?

Only the governor will do?

At this moment, this case is like an equation, with only the "unknown number" remaining, which has not been solved, but Qi Ping has no clue.

Anping and Qi Shu felt dizzy after hearing this. Neither of them were smart girls. They couldn't keep up with their aunt and elder brother's ideas, so they simply lay down in a daze.

Ziyi Yongning was also lost in thought.

She realized that perhaps, this case was not that simple, and the things involved might be bigger than everyone imagined.

A secret that is so big that it cannot be detected by the government and only the governor can provide protection?

"Secrets or items... Yuzhou Dahe Mansion... Jianghu Stranger Organization... Thirty years ago... Thirty years ago..."

Keywords flowed from her heart one by one, and some dusty memories were revealed.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and lost her voice:

"Could it be that thing?!"
