After hearing Tie Zhenxia's words, Fang Sixiang and Gao Dongshan first glared at each other, and then Gao Dongshan first talked about his side of the matter.
When he was attending a banquet at the Liuye City Lord's Mansion, he learned that the medicinal materials he had left in the inn and were heavily guarded had been robbed, so he quickly rushed back to the inn with his butler.
When he returned to the inn, he only saw a messy scene everywhere in the inn. The guards he brought to Willow Leaf City were either seriously injured and unconscious, or had broken legs and hands, vomiting blood and unable to move.
Afterwards, he called a few guards who could still speak normally, and heard his guards say that originally they were staying in the guest room, and no one dared to leave the yard where the medicinal materials were.
This inn was actually rented by them and was no longer accepting guests. Just when it was getting dark, a few drunk warriors suddenly came outside the inn and insisted that the boss open the door and let them in to drink.
The boss took over Dongshan City's heavily funded shop, so naturally he wouldn't receive them, but those warriors quarreled with the boss. After a few words of quarrel, they knocked the boss and several waiters to the ground, and then started to smash the shop.
From the lobby of the store to the guest rooms at the back, he smashed them one by one in the courtyards next to the guest rooms, and he was about to hit the courtyard where the warriors of Dongshan City guarded the medicinal materials.
At that time, several leading warrior guards discussed and sent a few people out to have a look. If drunkards were causing trouble, they would be kicked out.
Unexpectedly, after those Dongshan warriors went out, there was another noise. After a long time, those Dongshan warriors did not come back, but the sound of smashing things in the nearby yard continued.
So, two more Dongshan warriors went out to see what was going on. After these two warriors went out, they were like mud cows drowning in the sea. No sound came back, and no one came back.
Now the remaining warrior guards felt that something was wrong. At this time, they sent seven or eight warriors out one after another, and they were unwilling to send any more people out.
Several high-level warriors discussed again and decided to send one person to Liuye City Lord's Mansion to report to Dongshan City Lord, while the others stayed in the courtyard.
Not long after the person who went to report the news went out, someone kicked open the door of their courtyard. Dozens of masked men in black turbans rushed in, beat them all until they were unconscious, and then removed the door to the courtyard.
All the medicinal materials stored in the main room were taken away.
After those people left, the store owner who was still hiding led people to wake them up and told them that the men in black had left.
The people in Dongshan City then sent people to report the news to the Lord of Liuye City. They went out to the inn and checked everywhere, hoping to find traces of the men in black escaping.
After the Lord of Dongshan City came back, he asked about what happened and then called the shop owner over to ask if he knew the warriors who came to cause trouble.
The shop owner said that those warriors were all from the Hengtong Inn on Liulin Street next door in the past few days. The waiter at the shop had also seen them in the past few days. Those warriors drank in these streets almost every day, and today they also drank in a nearby restaurant.
After drinking some wine, he came out to their inn for some unknown reason and continued looking for wine.
The Hengtong Inn was rented by people from Sixiang City. The Dongshan City Lord naturally knew that. When the innkeeper told the guests of the drunken warrior Hengtong Inn, he immediately concluded that it was the Sixiang City Lord who wanted to rob him.
After gathering the medicinal materials, he immediately led people to Liulin Street, hoping to snatch the medicinal materials back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he led people to the door of Hengtong Inn on Liulin Street, he bumped into the Lord of Sixiang City who was rushing back.
At that moment, Dongshan City Lord did not bother with Sixiang City Lord, and directly took action against Sixiang City Lord.
The two had already had a fight at this time, and the nearby shops on both sides of the street had been bombarded by the force of the fight and collapsed and shattered.
After he finished speaking, the Lord of Sixiang City turned red with anger and said: "I heard him say that the medicinal materials had been stolen. I was worried that the person who robbed me would come back to try again, so I hurried back.
Little did I know that before I even entered the inn, this guy rushed up to me and attacked me."
After hearing what these two people said, Tie Zhenxia thought for a moment and asked City Lord Dongshan: "City Lord Gao, it was your innkeeper over there who told you that those drunk warriors were guests of Hengtong Inn. I want to ask that person.
A few words from the innkeeper, can you please bring the innkeeper here?"
Gao Dongshan looked at the Lord of Sixiang City and snorted, and waved his hand back. A warrior behind him immediately ran back, and not long after, he brought a trembling middle-aged man over.
Tie Zhenxia stepped forward and took a good look at the innkeeper, and asked in a kind tone: "Boss, you said that the drunken warriors who went to your inn to cause trouble tonight were guests of Hengtong Inn. How did you know that they were guests of Hengtong Inn?
Where are the guests?”
The innkeeper was already very frightened by what happened today. When he saw someone questioning him, he couldn't help but shiver first, and then he stammered: "Those drunken warriors often drink in restaurants nearby these days.
He makes trouble when he's drunk, so we all recognize him."
"Oh, did you think they were guests staying at the Hengtong Inn because they were drunk and came to cause trouble in your shop, or did you know they were staying at the Hengtong Inn because you remembered their faces?"
"Here, this, it was dark at that time. They were wearing blue warrior robes. They looked for drinks when they entered the door. They looked like those drunkards from Hengtong."
"So, boss, you don't remember their faces, do you?"
"However, they look familiar at first sight. They look very much like the guests at Hengtong Inn."
"Familiar? Boss, you have been operating in Liuye City for many years, and you receive and drop off people every day. Who doesn't look familiar to you? Okay, I'm done asking."
Tie Zhenxia said to Gao Dongshan again: "City Lord Gao, can you let me ask those warriors who were injured while guarding the medicinal materials today? Anyone can do it, as long as they are the guards guarding the medicinal materials."
Gao Dongshan glanced back and shouted: "Gao Hao, come out and answer what Lord Tiecheng said."
Behind him, a warrior with a wound on his head limped out and stood in front of Tie Zhenxia.
"Warrior, do you think there are many men in black who burst into your yard at night and knocked you unconscious?"
"There is no detailed count. Looking at the dark crowd, there must be at least fifty people."
"Oh, fifty people, are all those people wearing black scarves? Have you seen the faces of one or two of them?"
"No, they were all covered in black scarves and they were very ruthless. We were all knocked to the ground within less than a cup of tea."
"They were all knocked to the ground? No one was killed?"
The warrior thought for a moment and realized that four of our people who were guarding the courtyard died, and the six people who were led out have not returned."
"Oh, I see, don't those men in black have swords or sharp weapons?"
"No, they are all empty-handed. Two of them are particularly strong in martial arts, and the rest are at least in the initial stage of Martial Lord, or at the peak of Martial Emperor. They all rushed forward, and we had almost no power to fight back."
"Oh, there are fifty people. Almost all of them are in the initial stage of Martial Lord or at the peak of Martial Emperor. There are two people who are particularly strong in martial arts. Maybe they are in the middle level of Martial Lord or at the peak of Martial Lord?"
While Tie Zhenxia was talking to himself, he turned around and asked City Master Sixiang: "City Master Fang, how many guards did you bring with you to Liuye City this time?"
Fang Sixiang replied without thinking: "Originally there were two hundred people. When we entered the city, we divided a hundred people into waiting outside the city."
"How many Martial Lords are there among the hundred people brought into the city? How many peak Martial Emperors are there?"
The Lord of Sixiang City said a little impatiently: "The people who followed me into the city are naturally the strongest in martial arts. Among them, five are at the initial level of Martial Lord, one is at the intermediate level of Martial Lord, and the rest are at the peak level of Martial Emperor or the intermediate level of Martial Emperor.
"
"How many people did City Lord Fang bring to the banquet at Liuye City Lord's Mansion today?"
"I took thirty people with me and left seventy people to stay at the inn."
Tie Zhenxia nodded, what was he thinking about? After pondering for a long time, he turned to Gao Dongshan and asked: "How many guards did City Lord Gao leave in the inn? How many people did you bring to Liuye City this time?
?”
Gao Dongshan hesitated for a moment and replied: "I also brought two hundred people here, and left one hundred and fifty people waiting outside the city. I am attending the banquet today, and there are fifty guards left in the inn."
"Oh, City Lord Fang brought 200 people and only left 100 people waiting outside the city. Why did City Lord Gao leave so many people waiting outside the city?"
Gao Dongshan opened his mouth and thought for a moment, then said: "I didn't come to Liuye City to fight. I came to visit Mr. You. I don't need to bring so many warriors into the city."
Gao Dongshan also had some words that he couldn't say at this time. He originally brought nearly 400 warriors here. When he robbed the Liu Mansion, in order to achieve a quick victory, he injured too many people. In order not to leave any evidence, all the dead and injured were injured.
After they were all brought back, they were quietly sent out of Liuye City. For this purpose, the manpower on hand was not that sufficient.
Robbery of the Liu Mansion was not something he had planned for a long time, but was a temporary decision made after he believed in the effect of the Poison Pill.
He originally thought that no one in Liuye City would dare to challenge him. Unexpectedly, he, a person who hunts geese all year round, had his eyes pecked by geese today. Someone actually robbed him in Liuye City?
He arranged for all the warriors to guard the medicinal materials in the inn, and only took the butler to the Liuye City Lord's Mansion for the banquet. He originally thought that he was cautious enough, but he was still robbed in this way.
After Tie Zhenxia finished asking, he thought for a long time and then said to Gao Dongshan: "City Lord Gao, have you lost all the ingredients for the realm-breaking elixir you gathered?"
"Yes, not only the medicinal materials of the Breaking Realm Pill, but also some other heavenly materials and earthly treasures were also snatched away by those people."
After Gao Dongshan finished speaking, he glared at Fang Sixiang fiercely.
Tie Zhenxia frowned and asked the Sixiang City Master: "City Master Fang, you are also gathering the ingredients for the Breaking Realm Pill. Have you gathered them all?"
"I still need a few medicinal ingredients, and I haven't gathered them yet."
Fang Sixiang replied impatiently, and then asked: "Tie City Lord, you have finished asking questions, what should you say next?"
Tie Zhenxia frowned and thought for a long time without speaking.
When Mingzhiyuanyuan, the Iron City Lord, first started asking questions, he seemed to be favoring the Sixiang City Lord, but in the end, the suspicion of the Sixiang City Lord was aggravated.
I don’t know what the point of asking these questions is.
After a long while, just when Gao Dongshan and Fang Sixiang started to get impatient, Tie Zhenxia finally said: "Who else in Lingding Continent can snatch the head of Dongshan City Lord besides the four of us?"
Do you have this strength?
The person who knows that City Lord Gao has gathered the medicinal materials is probably someone who is close to City Lord Gao. He can send so many high-level warriors to rob the medicinal materials for the realm-breaking elixir. This person himself is not low in strength. This...
..”
Tie Zhenxia seemed to have encountered a problem. He looked at Gao Dongshan and Fang Sixiang and said, "Has City Lord Gao labeled his own medicinal materials?"
"Yes, my medicinal materials are all made of wood pulp juice that does not damage the medicinal properties, and the word "高" is written on the medicinal materials."
Gao Dongshan immediately replied.
Tie Zhenxia nodded and said to City Master Sixiang: "City Master Fang, now you see, among all the people, you are indeed the most suspect. You have brought enough warriors in number and strength, but fortunately City Lord Gao is here.
I have marked my medicinal materials. You said that the medicinal materials I collected are only a few flavors away. Then take out your medicinal materials and let everyone see. There are more than a hundred medicinal materials. It is impossible to remove all the marks in a short period of time.
not easy."
Fang Sixiang immediately shouted in anger, "Tie Zhenxia, are you just asking for my medicinal materials after asking for a long time?"
Tie Zhenxia spread his hands and said helplessly: "I also want to find evidence that has nothing to do with City Lord Fang, but look..."
At this time, Gao Dongshan also took a few steps closer and said: "Fang Sixiang, even several other city lords have said this, what else do you have to say? Are you stalling for time? Wait a little longer, your people will
Once the labels on the medicinal materials are removed, you can clear your name, right?"
Fang Sixiang looked towards Tie Zhenxia and saw that Shen Gannan and Liuye City Lord were also looking at him. Even the successor of the miracle doctor was looking at him with some surprise.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, since you want to check, then check it out."
After speaking, he said to a guard behind him: "Go and take out all the medicinal materials and show them to everyone."
The guard, who was supposed to be behind, turned around and walked into the inn, whose door had been beaten to pieces. After a while, he came out with two wooden boxes in both hands.
At this time, Gaodongshan ordered more torches and candlesticks to be lit. For a while, the entrance of Hengtong Inn was as bright as day.
The guard placed the two wooden boxes in the middle of the street, then opened them one by one and said, "All our medicinal materials are here."
Fang Sixiang looked at Gao Dongshan and Tie Zhenxia angrily and said, "Come and check, see if these medicinal materials have Gao Dongshan's mark?"
Tie Zhenxia waved to the city lords and Ming Zhiyuan behind him and said, "City lords and Mr. You, in order to show justice, let's check it out together."
Ming Zhiyuan glanced at the two city lords beside him and saw that they had no objections, so they walked to the two wooden boxes together.
Tie Zhenxia knelt down, took out a medicinal material from the wooden box, checked it, and handed it to Ming Zhiyuan.
After Ming Zhiyuan took it, he turned over the medicinal materials and looked at them for a few times. He didn't see any mark of Dongshan City Lord, and then handed them to Shen Gannan. Shen Gannan checked them and handed them to Liuye City Lord.
In this way, a few of them checked out the medicinal materials and treasures of heaven and earth that the Lord of Sixiang City had collected so hard on the street.
Fang Sixiang, with a black face, looked at these people, then turned to look at Gao Dongshan, who was looking at him gloomily, the anger in his heart almost overflowing.
