Chapter 658: Huo Gu messed up
After Yang Lan and Yang Xing paid homage to Master Jiu, Scar Wu Zheng shouted: "Return the favor!"
The people in Jiutang uniformly bowed to the worshipers.
Yang Lan's eyes fell on Zhao Xu, and Li Qingqing happened to look towards Yang Lan. When Yang Lan came in, she had already seen Li Qingqing, and she hurriedly lowered her head and took Yang Xingli to the side.
At this time, two people walked in outside the door.
One is a middle-aged man about forty years old, about 1.85 meters tall, with a burly figure. This man is Huo Gu from the East Hall. The other is an old man with white hair and beard, about 1.8 meters tall.
Around Mi Qi, it was Jiang Hui from Beitang.
After Huo Gu and Jiang Hui came in, they did not immediately kneel down and kowtow to the deceased Jiu Ye.
I saw Huo Gu striding toward Master Jiu's coffin.
Scar Wu Zheng stepped forward to stop Huo Gu and said in a deep voice: "Huo Gu, what do you want to do?"
"I don't believe Master Jiu will die, get out of here!" Huo Gu yelled at Scar Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng did not give in and said tit for tat to Huo Gu: "It's not up to you. I won't allow you to disturb Master Jiu's rest!"
Huo Gu stared at his big copper eyes and yelled at Scar Wu Zheng: "Wu Zheng, Master Jiu has been keeping healthy all year round and has always been in good health. How could he die for no reason? I suspect that you poisoned Master Jiu! Because
, you are the only one who takes care of Master Jiu’s daily life every day.”
As soon as Huo Gu's words came out, there was a commotion in the mourning hall.
People in Jiutang also felt that Master Jiu's death was strange, and they all looked at Scar Wu Zheng.
At this time, Beitang Hall Master Jiang Hui also spoke.
"Wu Zheng, everyone just feels that Master Jiu died strangely. We are all family members, so there is nothing to argue about. We just want to see if Master Jiu really died of a heart attack."
"Yes, yes! I, Lao Guo, also agree to check Master Jiu's body." said Guo Zhengliang from the west hall.
Zhao Xu glanced at Guo Zhengliang in the west hall. This guy was indeed a foolhardy person.
No matter whether Master Jiu is really dead or fake, at least he will ask questions after paying homage. However, Huo Gu in the east hall and Jiang Hui in the north hall will check whether Master Jiu is true or false lying in the coffin as soon as they come in.
It's obviously collusion.
Jiu Ye told Zhao Xu that Huo Gu from Dongtang was dissatisfied with Jiu Ye entering a serious business and had many disputes with him in private. But half of Jiu Tang’s empire was brought down by Huo Gu. Huo Gu relied on
He was arrogant and looked down on Master Jiu less and less. Therefore, Zhao Xucai kept observing Huo Gu and put him in a suitable position if he could be used by him. It would be better to put him in a suitable position if he could not be used by him.
Kicked out of Jiutang.
Lan Xin from Nantang came over and said, "I don't agree to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy!"
Lan Xin has always been an admirer of Master Jiu, but it is a pity that she has been working with Master Jiu. Master Jiu has not given her a title.
Although Master Jiu is dead, Lan Xin does not allow others to disturb his rest.
After hearing Lan Xin's words, Huo Gu said in a deep voice: "Master Lan, the rule of our nine halls has always been that the minority obeys the majority. Now, our East Hall, West Hall, and Bei Hall have all agreed to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. I'm afraid it's only you in the South Hall who can do it."
I can’t convince everyone with my strength!”
Lan Xin sneered, walked to Zhao Xu, and said to Huo Gu in the East Hall: "Hall Master Huo, but don't forget. Only the Master of Jiu Hall can make the decision in the affairs of Jiu Hall. Lord Jiu made a decision before his death.
The will allows Zhao Xu to take over our Jiutang Company. Therefore, as long as Mr. Zhao does not agree, none of you can even think of opening the coffin."
Huo Gu from the East Hall and Jiang Hui from the Beitang all looked at Zhao Xu at the same time.
Naturally, they received the news that Jiutang Company would be taken over by Zhao Xu. They also heard about some of the things Zhao Xu was doing in Lincheng. However, when they saw that Zhao Xu was so young and his face was sallow, he looked like a consumption ghost.
.How can such a person deserve to control "Jiutang Company"!
"Are you Zhao Xu?" Huo Gu walked up to Zhao Xu and asked Zhao Xu condescendingly.
Zhao Xu's height is only 1.78 meters, and Huo Gu's height is 1.85 meters. The two stood together, and Huo Gu wanted to oppress Zhao Xu in terms of momentum.
On the other hand, Zhao Xu looked indifferent and was not affected by Dongtang Huogu.
"You should call me Mr. Zhao or Mr. Zhao, or the chief hall master! You are not qualified to speak to me like this!" Zhao Xu said with a determined look, neither humble nor arrogant.
Li Qingqing stood next to Chen Tianhe. She had sweated for her husband Zhao Xu just now. Seeing that Zhao Xu dealt with it easily, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This man named Huo Gu is someone who is not easy to mess with at first glance.
Among the people present, only Li Qingqing, Chen Tianhe and Scar Wu Zheng knew Zhao Xu's overall plan.
It can be said that Zhao Xu's move is a risky move. If he wins, he can not only save Jiu Ye, but also eliminate those who have evil intentions in Jiu Tang. If he loses, Jiu Ye's reputation will be ruined, and it will be fatal to Jiu Tang.
Fall apart.
In fact, the person lying in the coffin is not the real Master Jiu.
Ever since Master Jiu received the "soul chasing order" from the altar, Zhao Xu has been thinking about how to solve it. In fact, the last time Yang Xing brought people to the city, the purpose was to kill Master Jiu. However, he was eager for revenge, so he first
He used the power of the "Altar" to kill Zhao Xu first. However, he was defeated by Zhao Xu.
In this way, Jiuye was given a chance to breathe. Otherwise, with the strength of Yang Xing, who brought two masters of the Heavenly Ranking and two Earthly Rankings, he could easily kill Jiuye.
After Master Jiu summoned Zhao Xu to the "Yangnian Pavilion", he not only told Zhao Xu that he would be in danger, but also told him some things about the five major families. At the same time, he called the company's lawyer and made a will in advance.
.
After Zhao Xu came out of the "Yangnian Pavilion", he secretly whispered to Scar Wu Zheng, asking him to send his confidants to major hospitals to search for people with a similar physique to Master Jiu.
Huangtian paid off and finally found a deceased body that resembled Jiuye.
Scar Wu Zheng bribed the family members, promised to bury their father properly, and gave them a huge sum of tens of millions, allowing the family to go out of town overnight.
With the current 3D printing technology, covering Jiuye's facial mask and lying in the coffin, it is really possible to make the fake look real.
Of course, if the coffin was to be opened for autopsy, the trap would be exposed. Therefore, after Nong Quan and Can Jian Hua arrived, Zhao Xu whispered to them not to let anyone touch Master Jiu's coffin.
Huo Gu glared at Zhao Xu and said, "Boy, what qualifications do you have to be the leader of our Jiu Tang? What is your relationship with Master Jiu? Why would he leave Jiu Tang to you?"
"Why should I tell you?" Zhao Xu stared at Huo Gu and said, "Huo Gu, is this how you deserve to be the master of the East Hall?"
"Boy, I will discuss the matter with you in detail about the Chief Master of the Nine Halls later. Now we must open the coffin and conduct an autopsy."
Huo Gu winked at the people around him, and the four people rushed over first.
"Huo Gu, do you dare?" Scar Wu Zheng wanted to stop him, but Huo Gu took a step across and blocked him.
As soon as the four people arrived in front of Master Jiu's coffin, they heard each one screaming and falling out.
Nong Quan stared with big eyes and shouted: "Whoever dares to touch Master Jiu's coffin, I, Nong Quan, will let him go down to accompany Master Jiu."
The four people around Huo Gu were all fighting masters. However, they met people like Nong Quan, who was on the heavenly list, and Canjian Hua, who was ranked seventh on the earthly list.
Among the people present, except Yang Xing Shura Dao, no one could cure Nongquan and Canjian Hua.
Huo Gu was shocked. He didn't expect that the person standing near Master Jiu was a rough man, Nong Quan. The other person holding a long sword also seemed to be a difficult person to mess with.
Zhao Xu said to Huo Gu in a cold voice: "Huo Gu, when you come here, you don't worship Master Jiu first, but you lead people to make trouble. Is this how you, the leader of the hall, behave?"
Huo Gu was still immersed in shock and could not recover.
Zhao Xu asked Scar Wu Zheng: "Wu Zheng, in our Jiutang Company, what crime should the following persons commit the crime?"
"It can range from three cuts and six holes, to severe injuries such as being disabled and expelled from the company."
Huo Gu heard the people next to him starting to point fingers at him, so he didn't want to have another attack. No matter how many people he sent, as long as Nong Quan and the man holding a long sword were guarding Jiu Ye's coffin, he would not be able to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy.
.
Under pressure, Huo Gu took the lead and knelt on the futon and kowtowed to Master Jiu for three long hours. Jiang from Beitang met Huo Gu and kowtowed, and he followed suit and knelt on the futon and kowtowed to Master Jiu three times.
At this time, another loud shout came from outside the door: "Master Qin is here!..."
