Nangong family mansion.
The eldest lady is now in charge of family affairs, and now that such a major event has happened in the family, even some of the children of the family who are in retreat have been forced out of the customs, which shows how urgent the loss of the stone wall is.
Shibi's matter only spread the news in the core of the family, but it made most people feel the coldness behind them, the Nangong family is not an ordinary family, but a cadre of the Immortal League, although the position is not high, but in terms of the Nangong family's operation over the years, there will be no more than three people who dare to do something to the Nangong family.
However, the matter of Shibi is a top secret in the Nangong family, and the family can have today's status, not only by relying on the big tree of the Immortal League, but also because the monks in the family are prosperous, and every year there will be children who break through, and even surpass their peers early. The strength and number of monks in a family is crucial to a family, and these all come from that stone wall.
The stone wall is divided into three parts, the Nangong family only owns one of them, and the other two are in the Fang family and the Sima family, the three families agreed to merge the information on the stone wall on a regular basis to find out the key to open the secret realm, and the young children of the three families will enter the secret realm at this time to cultivate, using the unique resources in the secret realm, and the cultivation is more than a hundred times stronger than the outside.
Now that the stone wall is lost, the Nangong family is really in chaos at this time, and for a while, rumors are rife within the family, speculating whether it is done by someone in the family, whether someone wants to set up their own door?
The first thing to stand on the cusp of the storm is the second room, Nangong Xuan's behavior over the years makes everyone see that he is definitely a person without ambition, but now is different from the past, such a big thing has happened in the Nangong family, and it is understandable to suspect the people within the family first. Nangong Xuan doesn't look like this kind of person no matter how he looks at it.
The eldest lady also didn't believe that Nangong Xuan was the one who betrayed the family, so she specially asked him to assist in the investigation of this matter, but not long after, not long after Nangong Xuan came back from meeting Jiang Mingyu in Sun City, a letter was turned over from the account book of Nangong Xuan's private recruitment in the early years, and for a while Nangong Xuan was walking on thin ice.
Undoubtedly, this account book played a key role, Nangong Xuan was difficult to argue, and was even more connected to the loss of the stone wall, and the people in the big house represented by the eldest lady were furious and sent Nangong Xuan into the family dungeon for interrogation.
Although Nangong Xuan admitted that he really wanted to stand up for himself in the early years, the loss of the stone wall had absolutely nothing to do with him, and three days later, Nangong Xuan died in order to prove his innocence.
Nangong Xuan's death finally made the eldest lady see clearly at this time, I am afraid that this matter was really not done by him, the family has fallen into the quagmire of chaos, if we don't find out who it is as soon as possible, the Nangong family may have more accidents.
The eldest lady decided to contact Jiang Mingyu overnight, urging him to find out the clues as soon as possible, and to triple the reward at one time, she thought that the cost was worth it, and the premise was, of course, that Jiang Mingyu could live up to expectations.
The eldest lady used her own means to temporarily suppress the chaos of the Nangong family, and also forbade anyone to leave without permission, and the offender was executed on the spot.
The secret room where the stone wall was originally placed has now been strengthened by three layers of defense, and there are more than a dozen monks of our realm guarding it in turn throughout the day and night, and on this day, a strange thing happened that caused a sensation in the Nangong family.
The monks in charge of guarding the guards happened to need to change shifts at this time, and at this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the secret room, and several monks were immediately startled, and after they noticed the abnormality of this matter, they immediately reported it to the eldest lady.
Immediately, the eldest lady led people to the secret room, and after taking out the only key to open the door of the secret room, the scene in front of her stunned everyone.
The eldest lady was the most shocked, she walked into the secret room with trembling hands, she looked at the stone wall in front of her and exclaimed: "How is this possible, what is going on? Why is the stone wall back?" What appeared in front of her was indeed the stone wall that was missing at that time, and it was standing intact in front of her at this time.
The eldest lady carefully inspected the stone wall, and then looked around the secret room, and found that the stone wall had been moved, or traces of movement, and there was no other smell on the stone wall, and there were no dead ends around the secret room, and there was no secret passage or anything like that, not to mention, after finding that the stone wall was lost, she immediately asked someone to coat all the sides of the secret room with molten iron, so that although the solid protection seems to be a dead sheep, now it also shows a fact, the stone wall came back out of thin air!
After that, I asked the monks in charge of the guard, and the monks said the same thing, saying that they only reported it immediately after hearing a movement, so it seems that it undoubtedly shows that the appearance of the stone wall does not seem to be done by people.
Later, in order to prevent the stone wall from being lost again, the eldest lady added ten layers of enchantments outside the stone wall, and at the same time filled the secret room with alarm bells, if someone wants to steal the stone wall, it will inevitably alarm the alarm bells here, and at the same time, it is necessary to break the ten layers of enchantment. After taking good precautions, the eldest lady exhaled a long sigh of relief, since Shibi is back, then this matter can also be over. She immediately called someone to inform Jiang Mingyu and asked him to come back immediately.
Jiang Mingyu was still investigating in Sun City at this time, and he had made up his mind before that he would get some useful information no matter what this time, and he found Chengxing the next day.
He still suspected Chengxing, but there was no evidence clue, he knew that this was the other party deliberately playing tricks on himself, this was a game of cat and mouse, and obviously he had been tricked around.
After Chengxing finished the task assigned by the Fang family this time, he met Jiang Mingyu, and then the two went to a stone arch bridge by the lake together. He knew that Jiang Mingyu must not have come to him to enjoy the scenery suddenly, he must still want to investigate the matter of Shibi, but no matter what the reason was, it was destined that Jiang Mingyu was working in vain, because he had the complete initiative on his side, and he had a trump card, that is, the way to steal Shibi.
"What is the matter with Gongzi Jiang coming to me today?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I've been in Sun City for so long, and I guess Brother Chengxing already knows my identity. ”
"Of course, Jiang Gongzi is the master of Wanyemen, I have known this for a long time, but I don't have anything to ask Wanyemen for help here, and I don't have any money. ”
"No, no, Brother Chengxing misunderstood, I came to Sun City just to relax, not for business. ”
Chengxing nodded, oh, and said, "Then I'm curious, what is Jiang Gongzi looking for me, speaking of which, I think you should be more compatible with the young masters of those big families." ”
This sentence was obviously sarcastic Jiang Mingyu, but Jiang Mingyu didn't care when he heard it, he said: "Brother Chengxing misunderstood, I only have business dealings with them, and the friendship is not very good." ”
Chengxing said: "We don't seem to have much friendship between us, you and I have only met a few times." ”
Jiang Mingyu's face was a little ugly at this time, he really couldn't help it, and was about to ask Chengxing Have you heard of the Nangong family losing Shibi, of course, he won't say the word Shibi, he will only say that he lost something else, the purpose is to test Chengxing, but as soon as his words came to his mouth, he found that a mirror light flashed in the woods in front of him, which was the secret code used by Wanye Gate to communicate with each other, at this moment it seemed that the code was very anxious, although he was puzzled in his heart, he still apologized to Chengxing:" Brother Chengxing, let's talk about it another day, I have some urgent matters to deal with now. ”
After Jiang Mingyu left the stone bridge, he hurried back to his inn room, where there were already his own subordinates waiting with an unknown person.
The man first stood up and introduced himself, saying that he was sent by the Nangong family.
Jiang Mingyu invited the man to sit down and asked, "What is the matter, so anxious?" Of course, this was said to his subordinates.
It was the man who answered, and said, "The eldest lady specially asked me to inform Boss Jiang that Shibi has been found." ”
"What!" Jiang Mingyu was shocked inexplicably, he stood up with a pout, the movement was very loud, this news was undoubtedly the most shocking in this time, he didn't believe it was true, and asked again.
I only listened to the man: "I don't know the specifics, but the eldest lady said that Shibi was indeed found, but I heard the guards at the time say that Shibi seems to have come back out of thin air, and if the boss has nothing important, go back with me to see the eldest lady immediately." ”
Jiang Mingyu's expression was very complicated, his head was very messy at the moment, this news was really shocking, Shibi disappeared out of thin air, and now it appeared out of thin air? Was it really an accident? Or did someone do it on purpose? Why did he do this? Could it be that he couldn't solve the secret of Shibi, so that person sent Shibi back again? After listening to that person's words, he replied: "I'll prepare first, and I'll go back with you to see the eldest lady immediately." ”
The man then left the room, and several of his subordinates lamented: "Door master, if we find something, then wouldn't we have done it in vain during this time, and in the end we won't even get a tenth of the reward." ”
Jiang Mingyu didn't think about the reward in his heart, all he thought about in his head was, what was the purpose of Shibi's return, why did he send Shibi back at this time?
Also, although it was sent back out of thin air, what was the method? The secret room was completely sealed, and the guards had so many pairs of eyes that it was impossible to hide from them.
The only way was to dig a tunnel from underneath, but he and the eldest lady had already checked the secret room, and there was no trace of the secret passage, and there was not the slightest trace of the surrounding underground.
Jiang Mingyu asked his subordinates to go out and be quiet by himself, now it seems that what he has done has indeed been in vain, since Shibi is back, then he has to go back to see the eldest lady.
Jiang Mingyu said in his heart at this time: "Since Shibi is back, then these three people in Sun City, one is at home to entertain guests, one is visiting a brothel, and the other is with me, it seems impossible for the three of them to do such a thing, in terms of time and distance, it is very difficult." He exhaled, punched the edge of the window, and said: "Among the three people, Chengxing is what makes me suspicious, but at present, he obviously does not have this ability, I have been secretly monitoring him these days, and he has no abnormal behavior, and now that Shibi has appeared, then the suspicion of the three of them will naturally be lifted, forget it, since the eldest lady wants me to go back, let's leave immediately." ”
