Chapter 152: The Conspiracy Succeeds
Zhao Zhenhe sat there for a long time without speaking, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious. The way out of Qinghuang Town was actually blocked by these masters, what kind of people are this?
"It is impossible for them to complete the blockade, and at present, we still have a way, which is to pick out a few young people from the Qi Refining Realm or the Refining Realm and ride to Flame City. Let them not rush to avoid the blockade of the other party, although it is a little slower but there should be no problem. After being silent for a long time, Zhao Zhenhe made such an arrangement.
"Okay, I'll arrange it now. ”
Wu Qilian turned around and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Zhao Zhenhe: "Brother Wu, you go to rest first, you are too tired and have a slight injury, I should arrange it myself." Wu Qilian didn't say anything more, nodded and went out to rest.
"Tang Hu, come over here. ”
Tang Hu is nineteen years old this year, he is Zhao Zhenhe's apprentice who has just been accepted, although he is only the ninth order of the refining realm, Zhao Zhenhe has always valued him.
He is not only smart and eye-catching, but also absolutely loyal to the Zhao family. The Zhao family does not recruit all those who have cultivation talents, they will also recruit some people who are smart and can do things.
After all, there are many things that need to be taken care of, and Tang Hu has such a talent.
"Master, what do you command?" Tang Hu asked respectfully as he stood beside him.
"Give you a difficult task, and it must be completed. You go to prepare now, and Tianming drives the carriage to pull a cart of herbs to cover up. I must find a way to rush to Flame City as soon as possible, tell you about the situation here, and let him come quickly to solve the problem here. ”
"Master, don't worry, even if you fight for your life, you will definitely complete the task. Tang Hu immediately assured.
"Life comes first, and life comes first in any environment. And you can't reveal any traces of the Zhao family, you just came, no one should notice you. Zhao Zhenhe told again and again.
After Tang Hu was ordered to go out, Zhao Zhenduo made another arrangement. He sent a total of five groups of people, all of whom used different ways to deliver information.
He believed that as long as one person could break out, the third brother and Zhao Fei would come over to solve the problem.
Now there are five God Refining Realm masters in Qinghuang Town, and one has been seriously injured. The other four people were temporarily staying in the Zhao family's mansion, as long as they didn't come to some seventh-order masters of the God Refining Realm, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
The next day, there were a lot of pedestrians on the road from Qinghuang Town to Flame City.
This official road is especially crowded with people every day, because it is the only major road leading to Flame City. This is the lifeline between Qinghuang Town and Flame City, and all medicinal materials must be transported from here.
Tang Hu and the others were all mixed in with these streams, because they were all small people, and no one paid attention to them at all.
Shao Guangzhou has been staying on the second floor of the pharmacy very dutifully these days, and he will not go anywhere.
Without the care of the Zhao family, the people who went up the mountain to collect medicine were lambs to be slaughtered. Hundreds of people have been injured for several days, so that no one dares to go up the mountain to collect medicine. The herbs collected by the various pharmacies are getting less and less, but this is not the most terrifying.
Usually, 300,000 or 400,000 people collect medicine in the mountains, and they basically only come back once every two or three days, and there are not so many people in the town. Everyone suddenly didn't go to the mountains to collect medicine, stayed in the town and waited for the Zhao family to solve the problem, and Qinghuang Town was overcrowded for a while. Those medicinal herb merchants and the transport team also had no medicinal materials to transport, and they all stayed in Qinghuang Town.
Not only was the inn full, but the entire shop and the streets were full of people. Even the Zhao family's mansion was full of people in the past two days, because the medicinal herb merchants who came had no place to live, and some lived in the Zhao family's mansion.
For the first time, Qinghuang Town was paralyzed, and people were panicked, and everyone was in danger. The Zhao family had to send dozens of people out to maintain order, otherwise there would be a lot of unexpected things happening, and it would be even more chaotic at that time.
Shao Guangzhou was overjoyed when he saw the scene in Qinghuang Town at this time. As long as it continues like this, the Zhao family will completely lose the support of the people in Qinghuang Town, and it will soon be time for them to show their might.
When Zhao Zhenhe saw this situation, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he couldn't come up with a good way to solve the problem.
One day or two days was fine, but after three days, Qinghuang Town was completely messed up. With so many people staying here, even eating is a problem.
In the evening, a group of big businessmen came to the Zhao family's mansion, and they came to implore the Zhao family to solve the problem on behalf of some small merchants.
But Zhao Zhenhe didn't have any way to solve it now, so he had to persuade everyone to leave first, telling them to wait patiently, and he was thinking of a way.
In fact, how could he think about it? How big is the territory of the 100,000 mountains, if someone sincerely makes trouble, even if the Zhao family comes over, they can't see the safety of the medicine pickers on the mountain.
The only way now is to find these people and kill them all, otherwise there will be no medicine pickers on Qinghuang Mountain who dare to go up.
According to their speed, Tang Hu and the others will have to reach Flame City in four days at the earliest, even if Zhao Zhenduo comes, no one is available, these Zhao Zhenhe understands.
If you go to the mountains and transfer people out, and then make a plan, you won't be able to solve the problem in less than a month. Not to mention a month, he can't hold it for ten days.
On the fourth day, a group of people came to Flame City, all of them were masters, the lowest realm was also the seventh order of the Earth Refining Realm, and two were masters of the God Refining Realm. After they arrived, they went directly to the Shao family's pharmacy, and soon after, the Shao family announced that the Shao family was willing to protect the safety of the medicine pickers, and believed that they could go to the mountains with the Shao family to collect medicine.
The Shao family's reputation was not good, and no one believed their words at first. But at the instigation of some people, a group of people followed them to the mountains to collect medicine.
If one group believes, more will believe. Two days later, thousands of people followed the Shao family to the mountains to collect medicine.
There is only one condition for collecting medicine from the Shao family, that is, a contract must be signed with the Zhao family, and the medicine collected in the future must be sold to them at a price lower than 5% of the market price, and it is a long-term cooperation.
Although the conditions of the Shao family are a little harsh, there is at least food for the medicine pickers.
Three days later, more and more people participated in the Shao family's medicine collection procession, and even as many as 20,000 people.
But that night, the herb pickers were attacked and two people were wounded.
Fortunately, the Shao family appeared in time and had a fierce battle with them. As a result, two people in the Shao family were seriously injured, and two were slightly injured, and finally let those people escape.
The news soon spread throughout Qinghuang Town, and people who had prejudices against the Shao family began to change their attitudes. Although the price is lower, they also see the Shao family's efforts. Many people no longer mind the price, and have signed agreements with the Shao family one after another to join the Shao family's medicine collection team.
"Old Five, what do you think about this?" Wu Qilian asked Zhao Zhenhe with a frown.
"What else can you think? This bitter meat trick is good, whoever jumps out at this time is the one who operates all this. The little Shao family doesn't have this energy, and he doesn't have that kind of master. They are nothing more than pawns, and the person who can control them must be the big guys. Zhao Zhenhe sneered.
"Did Tang Hu and these people arrive in Flame City? Why didn't the third child arrange for someone to come over?"
"Brother Wu, don't worry. Now that they've jumped out, let them perform. If we do what they do at this time, we will fail. Qinghuang Mountain is so big, how can you run into bad people by such a coincidence? Wait and see. ”
This is a premeditated plot against the Zhao family, this bureau is very big, if the Zhao family can easily solve it, then why are they still doing this bureau? Zhao Zhenhe knew in his heart that things would never be so simple.
Tang Hu and the others hurried day and night, but the officers and soldiers were checking all the way. If you travel at night, you will basically be detained, and if you can't find a problem, you will be detained for a day or two.
Therefore, they can only rush to the City of Flames during the day and stay in the hotel at night.
Originally, it would only take four or five days to drive the carriage, but it took them seven days to arrive in Flame City. This is still Tang Hu Jiling, he was the first to arrive.
After entering the Flame City, Tang Hu did not dare to go to the Zhao family, but went to the Xu family. He told Xu Baichuan about the situation, and Xu Baichuan was taken aback after hearing it. He also realized that something was wrong in the past few days, the medicinal materials hadn't been shipped for a few days, and if he didn't come back, he was going to Qinghuang Town to see what was going on.
Xu Baichuan didn't dare to slack off, and quickly came to the Zhao family's mansion to find Zhao Zhenduo and Zhao Fei, and he told them the situation in detail.
"Hehe, this group of people can really use any kind of despicable means to deal with us. Zhao Fei sneered after hearing this.
"Xiaofei, what do you think they are doing this?" Xu Baichuan asked a little anxiously.
"First, they want to isolate us through the hearts of the people and reduce our influence in Flame City and Qinghuang Town. ”
"Second, they may have made a game to kill our master who went up the mountain to protect the medicine people. ”
"Third, they want to bring out all our masters in the mountains and encircle us. ”
"Fourth, it is possible to cut off our financial means through this means. After Zhao Fei finished speaking, Zhao Zhenduo and Xu Baichuan both nodded.
"Now, no matter what means they use, as long as we find out who is behind the scenes, we will have a way to solve the problem. If you can't find the person behind the scenes, it's hard to solve the problem. ”
"They really took great pains to draw money from the bottom of the kettle and lure the snake out of the hole. It seems that this bureau has been brewing for a long time and is arranged in an orderly manner, this person is not simple. Zhao Fei said with sincere admiration.
Although he was his own enemy, he did not lose unjustly this time, because he did not expect that their means would be so numerous and so high. What should be admired is still admired, and if you are not convinced, you will never grow.
"Their methods are so despicable and shameless that they are mad. Zhao Zhenduo's face turned blue.
"Third uncle, you are facing an enemy, as long as you can defeat them, you can use any means, but don't do things that hurt nature and reason. Zhao Fei smiled and comforted the third uncle.
"Xiao Fei, have you thought of a solution to the problem?" Zhao Zhenduo turned his head and asked Zhao Fei again.
"No, this bureau is so big, it won't be solved for a while. The common people are here to survive, and there is nothing wrong with them that things cannot be imposed on them. As for the group of people who want to deal with us, I still say that we must find out who is behind the scenes, and solve them in order to restore peace to everything. Zhao Fei looked indifferent, he already had some ideas in his heart.
"Tell Tang Hu to go back to Qinghuang Town first. I'll leave for Qinghuang Town tomorrow, and you just need to keep your home. ”
