Chapter 2123 Is there a problem with the Cheng family?
Emperor Shitian raised his eyes: "Say."
Shen Feng said: "Emperor, in recent days we have sent people to secretly monitor each major family, and finally found an abnormality today: Today, Yan Feng secretly sent a message to the Cheng family."
As soon as these words came out, Mo Qi's eyebrows immediately wrinkled.
Feasting on maple?
Isn't he the chief alchemist of the Pei family? How could he be related to the Cheng family?
There is not much contact between the Pei family and the Cheng family, but there does not seem to be any deep grudges. In recent years, the situation of the Pei family has become increasingly pessimistic. On the other hand, the Cheng family has always been firmly at the head of the family. No one will take it for granted.
Yanfeng contacted the Cheng family.
Emperor Shitian's face was calm, as if he had expected it.
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems they finally couldn't hold it in any longer."
Shen Feng said: "He did not come forward in person, but asked his apprentice Pei Ziyan to go to a pharmacy in the city to buy medicinal materials. And an hour after Pei Ziyan left, the Cheng family also went to that pharmacy."
On the surface, these are two things that are not related at all.
There is an endless stream of people going to the drug store to buy medicinal materials every day. This alone cannot mean anything.
But the key point is - the Pei family and the Cheng family are both wealthy families with rich assets. They both have their own medicine shops. Even if they need to buy medicinal materials, they usually go to the fixed shops. It is rare to send someone like this.
Go out and buy medicinal materials separately.
Although Pei Ziyan is not a direct descendant of the Pei family, he is highly regarded because he is Yan Feng's disciple. If he wants any medicinal materials, he can directly withdraw them from the Pei family's warehouse. Why would he buy them alone like this?
"Our people later verified that he bought three kinds of medicinal materials in total, namely Serifolia, Fushan Snow Fruit, and Purpurea. These are very common medicinal materials. There is no need for him to make this trip."
Shen Fengdao,
"The one sent by the Cheng family is the maid who has been serving Cheng Lingsu."
This is even more ridiculous.
Cheng Lingsu has a very high status in the Cheng family. What she wants is not just a matter of words?
Where is the use of her maid running out to buy medicinal materials?
Emperor Shakten asked: "Whose medicine shop belongs to it?"
Shen Feng said: "That drug store has been open in Lanling for more than ten years. The owner's surname is Bai. He is not from Lanling and belongs to the first stage of Lingzong. We checked further and found that their boss Bai visited the Cheng family many years ago.
Although they had no contact with each other since then, this pharmacy has never encountered any trouble in the many years since it opened in Lanling."
This may sound like nothing at first, but if you think about it carefully, you will find the problem.
It is actually very difficult for a foreigner to establish himself in Lanling.
However, this person has no background and is only in the first stage of Lingzong. How did he manage to do so smoothly for so many years?
There is probably still support behind this.
And that person is most likely Cheng Chongjun.
Mo Qi frowned and couldn't help but murmur: "More than ten years ago? If it is really related to the Cheng family, then...it means that they have been planning today at least since that time? But why did the Cheng family
Do you want to do this?”
The Cheng family is one of the top aristocratic families in the entire Xingyao Empire. What do you want? Why go to such trouble——
Emperor Shitian's thin lips curled up slightly, revealing a very cold and faint smile, but there was no trace of smile in those cold phoenix eyes.
"People die for money and birds die for food. He does this naturally because he has greater interests."
