Chapter 42: Evil Deeds
The ins and outs of things are not complicated.
On the day Feng Wuxian came back to take revenge, killed many masters of Half Moon Villa and took away a fragment of the treasure map that had not yet had time to hand in, the Situ family was worried that Half Moon Villa would hold them accountable, and even took the entire Situ family to bury the dead masters of Half Moon Villa, so the senior management of the Situ family unanimously decided to give up the huge family business in order to preserve the bloodline of the Situ family, divide the property, and let the people of each family find their own way out.
To put it bluntly, it is a separation.
This is the main reason why all the industries under the Situ family are closed.
Even many businesses that were trying to survive were implicated, and they were forced to close their doors.
Business can't be done, the merchants and a group of guys who follow the meal are naturally depressed one by one, and the people have nowhere to spend even if they have money, and their mentality is also not good.
This caused Anyang City to become so depressed in just a few days.
However, because the Situ family was too big and there were too many things, the entire Situ family worked together, and it took ten days to clean it up.
The subordinates were all dismissed only two days ago.
Because Zhong Hou disappeared mysteriously before, he was afraid that Zhong Hou would not find anyone when he came back, so Fu Bo would continue to stay here and wait for news, and did not leave with the other people.
Fortunately, Fu Bo waited for a few more days, otherwise with the vastness of the Kan area and the barrier of communication, the two might never see each other again.
In the past two days, the people of the Situ family are gradually evacuating. If Zhong Hou returns a few days later, he may only be left with an empty compound.
Hearing this, Zhong Hou asked strangely: "The person was not killed by the Situ family, Half Moon Mountain Villa is a decent sect, so you can't indiscriminately deduct the crime and blatantly do it to the Situ family, right?"
Fauber sighed and said, "The so-called good and evil are distinguished from each other when standing on the same level. Not to mention us ordinary people, even if we are cultivators of the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow, in front of the innate powerhouse, in front of these powerful sects, we are still like pigs, dogs, and ants. Think about it, if you see a man trampling an ant to death, do you feel evil? No, you don't even feel anything at all. This is the attitude of the innate strong towards those of us. ”
Fu Bo was still immersed in what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and he didn't notice at all that Zhong Hou actually knew that Half Moon Mountain Villa was a decent sect.
However, Zhong Hou found clues from Fu Bo's words.
With Zhong Hou's understanding of Fu Bo, as an ordinary person, a person living at the bottom of society, not to mention the acquired nature, and even the acquired nature is divided into nine small realms, which is common knowledge in the cultivation world, he knows nothing.
Otherwise, the two had lived together for several months, Zhong Hou must have already learned some information from the other party's mouth, and it would be impossible to blacken his eyes before the wind untraced.
So, Zhong Hou asked the doubts in his heart: "Father-in-law, how did you learn this? Haven't you been in contact with it before?"
"I haven't been in contact with it before, but in the past few days, when I was helping to clean up things, I often heard the Situ family complaining, and I heard some of them. ”
Fauber paused, sighed heavily, and then continued, "Hey... You don't know, in fact, those people have been living with us for a few days before, as if they want our Situ family to help them do something.
These days, those people not only treat our Situ family as slaves, but as long as there is a little inconsiderate waiting, or a little bit unsatisfactory to them, no matter what your identity, without exception, they will be killed on the spot.
I heard that on one occasion, a member of the Situ family poured tea for them, because the tribesman accidentally splashed the clothes of one of them, and then he was slapped off the spot. What kind of strength are those people, where is there still life in the palm of their hands. As a result, the people of the tribe disappeared without saying a word...
Now that those people are all dead, their sect will definitely not give up, so it is very normal for the Situ family to worry about being angered.
Fortunately, this place is separated from their sect by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is estimated that it will take some time for the news to reach the ears of their sect, otherwise we may not even have a chance to escape, let alone pack up our belongings. ”
The first time he heard about the conspiracy of Half Moon Mountain Villa from Feng Wuxi's mouth, Zhong Hou's impression of him was already very bad.
Now that he learned of his evil deeds, the anger in his heart rose even more.
Although he hated the murderer of Gaojiacun before, after all, he didn't know Gaojiacun, and Zhong Hou didn't feel that kind of pain at all. Yes, at most, it is an attitude of justice towards evil.
But after all, he has lived in Situ's house for several months, and he still has some feelings, and the person who was killed may still be someone he knows.
How can this make Zhong Hou not angry.
However, anger is anger, Zhong Hou can still face the reality.
Not to mention whether Zhong Hou has the strength to avenge the dead and those who have been bullied, just say that these murderers have been killed by Feng Wuxi, who will he seek revenge.
Zhong Hou believed that this kind of villain abounded in the cultivation world, and there must be quite a few in Half Moon Villa.
However, he can't be angry with the entire Half Moon Villa because of these villains, even if he has this strength, it is impossible to destroy the entire Half Moon Villa.
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is how to help the Situ family evacuate safely.
Of course, the first thing to consider is naturally the safety of Fauber.
Thinking of this, Zhong Hou immediately said: "Since there has been such an accident in the Situ family, father-in-law, you should leave here with me immediately." Oh yes... I almost forgot that you knew your teacher, father-in-law. If the stepfather has nowhere else to go, it is better to settle down with the teacher first. ”
"That's what I thought, if I hadn't waited for you to come back, I would have left long ago. ”
"There is Lao Yi's father worried, and Hou'er is really ashamed. ”
"Father and son don't have to say that. But I know your teacher's place, and it's not far from Anyang City, so I'll go alone. After all, I have served in the Situ family for decades, and I still have some feelings, so you don't have to send it away, Hou'er, let's stay here and see if there is anything I can help with. ”
The distance between the two places is only seventy or eighty kilometers, and the Situ family has more than one horse. Fauber rode a horse, and no matter how slow it was, it was only an hour's journey.
Zhong Hou walked through this official road, and there were no beasts, let alone brute beasts and demon beasts, it is estimated that there will be no accidents.
However, Fu Bo was always just an ordinary person, and he was also old, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Zhong Hou still insisted on personally sending Fu Bo to Zhou Bo's tavern.
Before Zhong Hou came back, Fu Bo had already packed his luggage, and the two of them didn't stay any longer, and hurried out of the city.
Zhong Hou and Zhou Bo were separated for a few months, and after arriving at the tavern, after just a few simple chats, Zhong Hou left, preparing to go back to Situ's house to see if there was anything that could help, and by the way, to see if he could say goodbye to Situ Shentan.
Fu Bo originally wanted to wait for this matter, so he asked Zhong Hou to go back and stay in Zhou Bo's tavern together. But Zhong Hou had his own goals, so he directly refused.
Fu Bo knew that Zhong Hou, a young eagle, would soar into the sky sooner or later, so he could only press the reluctance in his heart.
Unbeknownst to the two of them, not long after they left Anyang City, a group of cultivators from Half Moon Mountain Villa swaggered into Situ's house.
