Chapter 148: Yang Mou
Ba Jin was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed: "It turns out that the murderer's purpose is this?" ”
Mark has been with Ba Jin for a long time, and as soon as he heard it, he already understood what Ba Jin meant: "The four major families came to ask for guilt? Is that murderer trying to sow discord between us? ”
"What is the origin of that murderer, it's not certain!" Ba Jinqiang cheered up, restrained the sadness on his face, and narrowed his eyes: "Let's go, let's see what these four guys want to do!" ”
Hall Family Hall.
The heads of the four major families come together, and the meaning of the representation can be large or small. You must know that at the beginning, only the Sapo family and the Bryne family were the real nobles, and later, in order to fight against the Green family, which was in the line of the city lord, they supported the three families of Field, Hall, and Stoker. It's just that after the three families were established, they were united on the surface, but there were already various actions in private, after all, no family likes to be controlled by others all the time.
The Field family is okay, this family's earth-based war spirit is also more easy-going, and they belong to the kind of family that you don't provoke them, and they won't be good. Of the five families of Illano, the Fields and Brian families have the best reputations.
The Hall family is the opposite, it seems to be the most low-key family, but in fact, it is the first family to become completely independent. Moreover, they control more than seventy percent of the grain trade in the southwest region of the Zijin Kingdom, and they are extremely confident, for the common people, they are very low-key, but within the five major families, they have always been very arrogant.
As for the Stoke family, this family is known as the wall grass, known as Illano's cunning fox, and their way of life is to follow the trend, and they will move closer in whichever direction the tide goes. Such a family is difficult to break, but there is little chance of growth and growth. Therefore, the Stoke family is the weakest among the five major families of Illano, but they are the five major families after all, and they also control the livelihood industry such as daily necessities, so the position is still very stable.
And the Bryan family, which is a branch of the Blath family, one of the five major families of the Purple Gold Country, is more powerful than the Sabo family in terms of the power of the Bryan family, and the Bryan family is originally known as the family of the purple and gold brain, and it is a wise and powerful family. The Purple Gold Kingdom put a branch of Bryne in Illano, in fact, it was for checks and balances, so as not to cause problems if the Green family and the Sabo family fought too hard.
Add one more Sapo family, and this is Illano's top power. As the capital of the southwest region of the empire, the five families actually control not only Ilano, but also the entire southwest region.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's really rare that you have come to my manor together at this time. Is something going on? With a long laugh, Barjin stepped into the hall.
Of course, the four masters had already sat down, and when they saw Ba Jin coming in, no one stood up, and they all looked at Ba Jin with a cold look, and there was even a little anger in their eyes.
"Oh? How? What's really going on? Ba Jin pretended not to know anything and sat down on the throne.
No one could tell that this guy had just died of a son. With this city, he is worthy of being the head of the Hall family.
The four masters glanced at each other, and then took out something from their arms and put it on the table in front of them.
It was a silk cloth with a seal on it.
Mark immediately stepped forward and put away the four pieces of silk cloth and handed them into Barkin's hands.
When Ba Jin saw it, he immediately sighed lightly: "This is?" ”
The silk cloth was stamped with the seal of the head of their Hall family, which could be said to be vivid, and if it weren't for the texture of the seal to see that the seal itself was not black ink jade, he would have thought that this thing was stamped by himself.
"Brother Bajin, you won't recognize what this thing is, will you?" Douglas, the head of the Stoke family, sneered, and the feeling was like a fox staring at a chicken cub, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Douglas, of course I recognize this as the seal of the head of the Hall family, and I can recognize it even more as a fake. Douglas, are you so confused that you can't recognize the real from the fake? Ba Jin unceremoniously pushed back.
The Hall family's low profile is only for civilians, and within the five major families, Ba Jin's strength and arrogance are known to everyone.
"Hey, Brother Barkin. Of course I know it's fake, but don't you want to know where we got this stuff from? It's not just me, it's all four! Douglas didn't look angry at all about Ba Jin's attitude, he still had that kind of sinister expression, but he had something to say, reminding Ba Jin not to be too arrogant, this time it was not the Stoke family that came, but the four major families.
"Lauren, tell me, what do you mean by that?" Barkin no longer talks nonsense with Douglas, but looks at the head of the Sapo family, Lauren.
In terms of age, among the five major families, Lauren and Ba Jin are the largest, both of them are already seventy years old, of course, for people in the Thousand Soul Spirit Realm with an average lifespan of more than one hundred and twenty years, seventy years old is just past the peak of middle age. But when it comes to experience and vision, this time is the strongest.
Lauren is very handsome, after all, he has a handsome son Austin, so the head of the Sapo family is also a handsome man, wearing a gray velvet woven dress, sitting there has a kind of majesty, as a hereditary first-class marquis, Lauren is the head of the five major families regardless of identity or strength.
"Ba Jin, the situation is very clear now, I believe you have received the news, the four of us have been attacked this evening, within half an hour, and according to the information we got from the scene, the enemy is the same person, and it is a super archer. And his goal is to be the descendants of our four families. The distance between the four of us is not short, and one person can run four houses in half an hour, what does it mean, I don't need to say more! And we came to you, in fact, the reason is very simple, it is for this silk cloth, which was left by the murderer! "Lauren's voice was deep, with a metallic texture, like his people, full of aggression.
"Lauren, you don't mean to say that I sent this murderer, do you? Would you believe such a superficial accusation? Ba Jin sneered disdainfully.
"If you were me, would you believe it?" Lauren said indifferently.
"Of course I ......," Ba Jin paused, followed by a cold sweat on his back.
He suddenly understood the purpose of the murderer.
The real purpose of the murderer is not to frame the Hall family, but to draw all five families into suspicion.
The five major families are inseparable from each other, and they have long been suspicious of each other, if it weren't for the strong city lord to suppress them, they might be able to fight themselves. Now that such a thing has suddenly come out, on the surface, it is a low-level to the extreme frame-up, but this kind of thing can't be thought about, once you think about it, there are too many possibilities.
And the people who can become the head of a big family are often suspicious people, and a person who is too upright will not be able to develop the family. With the power of the five major families, as well as all the internal and external pressures they face, even if they put a stone in the position of the head of the family, they will be able to become refined in ten years.
And which of the five people sitting here has not been sitting in the head of the house for more than 20 years? Lauren and Barking have been the heads of the family for thirty years.
I think I figured it out, but Ba Jin knew that what he could think of, the other four could think of too. But it's one thing to think about it, it's another thing to communicate openly and honestly, it's impossible for the five major families to confess their bottom line, and then prove their innocence, no one is clean between them, even the mildest of the Field family, the wisest of the Bryan family, even if they don't want to kill the other three families, in order to protect themselves, they have to do some shady things.
Not to mention the other three, all of them are sketched out by conspiracies and tricks, how can they be open and honest?
What a move!
Ba Jin figured out the murderer's purpose, and he had to admire it in his heart.
The most important thing is to clearly know the contradictions between the five major families, but think about it carefully, in addition to the five major families and each other, who else understands the contradictions between them?
City Lord's Mansion? To tell the truth, if the five major families hadn't been afraid of Rachel's anti-heaven force value, they would have bulldozed the city lord's mansion a long time ago, and with Rachel's political talent, in the eyes of the five family masters, it would not be worse than the city lord to tie a steamed bun to a dog's neck and put it in the position of the city lord.
I have to say that the city lord is a genius in cultivation, and his martial arts are against the sky, and at the age of twenty-three, he is already at the platinum level, and he can beat the platinum level three to the north, if such a person is not a genius, this Thousand Souls Continent will not be able to find a genius.
But genius also has weaknesses. And the political IQ of the city lord is infinitely close to zero, which is most directly related to her domineering, arrogant, and extremely hated man's character. A person who sits in the position of the city lord is still engaged in gender differentiation like a child, which is even more childlike than a child.
Therefore, although the five masters of the family thought that it was the City Lord's Mansion that made the move, they immediately denied it.
"Fiction is real, reality is fiction. Brother Barkin, I think we should probably start with Joshua's injury and take our time! The head of the Bryne family, Zeny said slowly.
"Joshua? What does this have to do with him? Ba Jin asked rhetorically, pretending not to know.
"Hehe, Brother Barkin, I heard a very interesting news, Joshua was drugged, and he was deliberately castrated, this news is interesting!" Douglas's wicked grin rang out again.
Ba Jin, who was already saddened by Joshua's death, was now mentioned by Douglas, and could no longer suppress his temper: "Douglas, you damn fox, what do you want to say?" Say all the maggot-like words in your disgusting stinky mouth, and I'll see what you want to say, what you dare to say! (To be continued.) )
