The sky full of light and rain and the thunder and fire are particularly eye-catching in the dark night, and the noise is also very loud. Fortunately, the people living around Jingyuan Houfu are not ordinary people, so their sleep will not be disturbed and will not affect tomorrow's work.
.
Although the dignitaries who were awakened by the thunder did not know what happened, they did not appear panicked. After all, this was Kyoto City, one of the safest places in the world.
Just plug your ears with cotton and cover your head and face with a quilt to block out the noisy and annoying sounds and continue sleeping.
The families of these dignitaries are able to survive to this day in the center of secular power in Kyoto City. They all understand the three life-saving principles of leaving things alone, don't ask things they shouldn't ask, and don't look at things they shouldn't.
Each family sweeps the snow in front of their own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles.
Nosy people often have no good results.
There are three people standing on the roof of a small building outside the Sanpianfang area of Jingyuan Houfu. They are Zhao Ge, the Shushan instructor who has not returned from Kyoto, Qiankun Temple Qingyang Taoist and Jiange Changkong Wuji.
.
"Originally, I felt a little sorry for Rong Fei. With his talents, it would be a waste of natural resources to continue to stay in the Ji Xian Division. Now it seems that this boy is just mediocre. Going against the trend is not what a gentleman does."
Looking at the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the distance, Zhao Ge shook his head and said.
"I admire this boy very much. He has a clear distinction between good and evil, and he acts spontaneously. He is a good swordsman. He is much better than my inconspicuous nephew. Hey, by the way, did you go to see that boy yesterday?
You, what bad idea did you give him again?"
Changkong Wuji poked Zhao Ge with his right hand, which had just grown back and had an outrageously fair complexion, and asked.
"Without him, we just want to talk about the general situation of the world. Your nephew named Bai has a bad temper with me, so why not let him join my sect."
Zhao Ge said with a smile.
"Hey, I agree with both hands, but it's a pity that it doesn't count. Why don't you go to the sword pavilion yourself and talk to my sword-crazy senior brother to see if he is willing to give up his beloved disciple."
When he heard the word "Jian Chi", the smile on Zhao Ge's face instantly froze and his expression became a little embarrassed.
"Bai Zizai is actually Jian Chi's close disciple. This..."
"It's so strange, isn't it? Hehehe, it's not just you who finds it strange, everyone in the sword pavilion is also strange. Why did Brother Jianchi turn against his will in his later years and choose such a bastard to inherit his mantle?"
"I must have suffered too much from Shushan over the years, so I thought of repaying him in the same way."
Taoist Qingyang on the side suddenly interrupted.
"The most effective way to defeat shamelessness is to be more shameless. This is the truth."
Changkong Wuji immediately answered.
"Yes, yes, yes, hahahaha."
"Hmph! It's obvious that you are stupid, but you accuse others of being smarter than you. It's really sad! Besides..."
Knowing that Zhao Ge was no match for bickering, if he continued, he would only be asking for trouble. Changkong Wuji and Taoist Qingyang, who had rarely taken advantage, immediately changed the subject.
"Find out why Rong Fei wanted to kill Chang Gaoyuan?"
"I haven't found anything in the investigation, but I can guess a thing or two. It's not Chang Gaoyuan that Rong Fei wants to kill, but Chang Gaoyuan's only son Chang Huai'en."
"That dude in Chang Yanei? Rong Fei had a problem with him? Did he flirt with Rong Fei's woman?"
"Probably...no. Although Chang Huaien is a bit of a bastard, he still behaves in a measured manner. At least I haven't heard of him causing any uncontrollable troubles in these years."
"That's strange. After all, Chang Yanei is the only child of Marquis Jingyuan. Killing him is equivalent to cutting off Chang Gaoyuan's descendants. This is more serious than killing Chang Gaoyuan directly. What is the grudge between these two people?"
"Who knows."
Facing Changkong Wuji's question, Taoist Qingyang also shook his head blankly.
Zhao Ge on the side found an opportunity to fight back and sneered disdainfully.
"I can't see through such a simple thing. I have lived a long life in vain."
"Oh! Do you have inside information?"
Qingyang Taoist and Changkong Wuji are good because they are strong
Qixin chose to ignore Zhao Ge's tone and attitude.
"Huh, no need for insider information. You can guess the truth with just a little analysis. Recently, Rongfei has been investigating cases related to human trafficking. A few days ago, he destroyed several caves and rescued hundreds of people. The following two days
On the same day, suddenly everything stopped and there was no movement. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
"After the case is solved, it's natural to rest for a few days. There's nothing strange about this."
Changkong Wuji said matter-of-factly.
"Who told the case was solved?"
"Didn't we destroy several caves and rescue all the people inside?"
"How many people were rescued from the cave? Even if we include the bones of those who were killed and buried, how many people would there be? And in the past three or four years in Kyoto, do you know how many people have been abducted and trafficked?"
"Where do you know where to go?"
"Hmph! Being so ignorant and so confident is really the style of Jiange."
Zhao Ge took the opportunity to sarcastically say.
"Let's have a good chat, don't always attack us personally. Besides, our Jiange people are straightforward, unlike your Shushan who are full of bad guys."
Changkong Wuji immediately retorted without showing any signs of weakness.
"I'm going too far. Let's talk about business. Let's talk about business."
Taoist Qingyang quickly separated the two of them and jumped out to take control of the situation.
"I got news from Kyoto Prefecture that in the past three or four years, there have been over ten thousand people missing in Kyoto, and the number of living people rescued from those caves plus the buried corpses is only a thousand. That is,
It is said that more than 10,000 people are missing, and they are all young and beautiful women and handsome men, as well as many children."
"Could it be that...there are more caves that have not been found?"
"You are really stupid. Without the help of the five great formations, it would not be difficult to find a mosquito in Kyoto, let alone more than 10,000 people."
"If you, Mr. Zhao, say something rude again, I will fight you to the death today."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about business. Teacher Zhao, don't try to whet your appetite any more and just tell us what's going on."
Seeing that the two of them were getting angry and showing signs of a fight, Taoist Qingyang, who had a big head as big as a bucket, could only try to turn the tide again.
"Isn't it already obvious? The reason why Rong Fei found trouble with Chang Huaien shows that Chang Huaien is the mastermind behind the reselling of Kyoto's population."
Zhao Ge rolled his eyes at Changkong Wuji and explained.
"Chang Huaien sells people?"
Taoist Qingyang couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.
The only son of Marquis Jingyuan who protects the people of Dayan actually betrays the people of Dayan... This... this is incredible!
"How can that uneducated dandy Chang Huai'en be capable of this? I think the mastermind behind the scenes is Chang Gaoyuan. But I heard that the main force of the Qingzhou Battalion are Chang Gaoyuan's private soldiers. It takes a lot of money to feed so many private soldiers.
How much silver? That makes sense, Chang Gaoyuan used the money he earned from reselling people to support his private soldiers."
Changkong Wuji analyzed it like this.
"No, at least for now, Chang Gaoyuan is not."
Zhao Ge shook his head and denied.
"Why?"
"Because Rong Fei has already met with Chang Gaoyuan this morning. Logically speaking, that is the best time to take action. There is no need to delay it until this time."
