Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun came to Yanyu Villa, handed over the name post, and were taken by the management court to the inner room to meet Jiang Xiaotian.

Jiang Xiaotian saw that it was them, and greeted warmly: "Yunxi, Lingyun, you are here, sit down." He called people out again: "Come on, serve tea."

After the two of them saluted Jiang Xiaotian and took their seats, a maid stepped forward to serve tea, and after everyone retreated, Xu Yunxi spoke: "Zhuang Master, among the twenty-three new sects that have submitted their names this time, three of the sect masters were expelled from the original sect and set up their own doors. As for the reasons for their expulsion, one is for stealing secret books, the other is for attempted poisoning, and the other is for raping the same junior sister, in short, the behavior is so bad that it is absolutely unusable. ”

Jiang Xiaotian frowned: "The world is declining, these people are so shameless, and they still think that they are founding a new school, and they want to be protected by the villa, hum!" As he spoke, he slapped his palm on the table as a sign of anger.

Xu Yunxi continued: "In addition, among the thirty-three sects that have been incorporated into the villa, I have found that nine of them started to make false accounts nearly half a year ago, and they have all received a large amount of silver from unknown sources one after another."

Xu Yunxi handed a box to Jiang Xiaotian, "Here are some accounts with unknown income and expenditure on their account books that I copied, and I am still checking who they are trading with." ”

Jiang Xiaotian opened the box and looked at it for a while, then stroked his forehead: "I didn't expect Yanyu Villa to be unable to suppress their ambitions in the end."

Xu Yunxi was relieved to see this, Jiang Xiaotian has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and was elected to the position of the owner of Yanyu Villa five years ago, under his leadership, Yanyu Villa has recovered from the decline and even reopened a maritime trade route, as long as the people in the villa have gained greater benefits than before, but all his efforts still can't stop the wolf ambition of those people.

Jiang Xiaotian was sad for a while, regained his demeanor, and asked again, "Has there been any progress on Shen Shiyi's matter?"

Sheng Lingyun replied: "I have privately checked Shen Shiyi's corpse, and there is a Soul Devouring Palm Print on his chest, so it is no wonder that his disciples insist on the wind of the charter. However, I noticed that his palm prints were on the dark side and there were dark blood lines on the inner eyelids at the corners of his eyes, which was a sign of poisoning and a chronic poison, which was also a mystery. ”

"Oh? In this way, Shen Shiyi's death is strange! Jiang Xiaotian's tone revealed a hint of surprise. He has always valued Shen Shiyi and Charter Feng, both of whom can be relied on, and now one is dead and the other is in controversy, which is really sad, but things seem to have taken a turn for the better.

"Not bad!" Sheng Lingyun replied firmly.

Jiang Xiaotian asked again with certainty: "Ling Yun, what did you say was the cause of Shen Shiyi's fatal death?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this palm won't kill you with a single blow. However, if he didn't have this palm, he wouldn't have lived long, but it just so happened that the toxins accumulated in his body were dispersed by this palm and quickly surged into his heart, so he died of poison. ”

"Alas!" Jiang Xiaotian sighed regretfully, "Do you know about this Flame Daomen?"

"I don't know, otherwise I wouldn't have pestered the immortals." Sheng Lingyun replied.

"You didn't tell them?" Jiang Xiaotian was puzzled.

"I'm just telling them that you promised to give them justice, but they can't make trouble during the election period."

"Why don't you tell the truth?" Jiang Xiaotian asked.

"Owner, now is a critical period, and one stone can stir up a thousand waves. If the truth is sect infighting, my hasty confession will only make the Flame Knife Gate scattered, and if others harm each other and have other internal information, the Flame Knife Gate can only run around like a headless fly. So, why don't you let them calmly handle the things in the door first, and then look for the culprit with peace of mind after the conference is over?" Sheng Lingyun calmly analyzed.

"Owner, whoever it is, his goal is most likely to be to get rid of the strong competitors in the conference and pave the way for himself, why don't we use our strength and just wait for him to show his fox tail." Xu Yunxi also explained on the side.

Jiang Xiaotian suddenly felt unprecedentedly tired, his eyes were gloomy, and he said weakly: "Since I took charge of the villa, I have devoted myself to the way of making money in the villa, and I have neglected the relationship disputes between the Jianghu sect since ancient times. Blame me for being too confident and thinking that everyone will be one and the same, but now it seems that everyone has really been in the same boat through thick and thin! Fighting openly and secretly, deceitful to me, and doing some deviant things behind my back, and now it is becoming more and more rampant, is my hard work in the past five years about to be buried?" The more Jiang Xiaotian spoke, the more excited he became, and he looked even more old and haggard.

"The owner doesn't have to be sad, there is always a successor."

"Yes, there are also sects that have always acted according to the rules of Yanyu Villa, so the owner can relax."

Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun comforted Jiang Xiaotian.

Jiang Xiaotian felt more and more that the villa was in a state of external and internal troubles at this time, the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, sighed, got up and walked to Xu Yunxi and the two, the two of them hurriedly got up, respectful.

Jiang Xiaotian bowed deeply to them, and the two of them hurriedly supported him: "Master, don't do it."

Jiang Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "The old man is old, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of too many things, he just wants to find a calm and stable person to take over Yanyu Villa, so as not to let it fall." But now, the demon road is rampant, all forces are eyeing each other, and Yanyu Villa is like a dangerous building! ”

Jiang Xiaotian had tears in his eyes and held the hands of the two of them tightly: "Yun Xi, Ling Yun, I know that you Yun Xia is not restrained, but you also respect chivalry and benevolence, Jiang is here to beg you to help me find out the truth of the matter and find out the real culprit behind the scenes!"

Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun glanced at each other and nodded firmly. The two of them pulled out their hands and hugged their fists at Jiang Xiaotian, and Xu Yunxi solemnly promised: "The life of the owner, my generation should go all out and never give up."

"Sheng is willing to do his best." Sheng Lingyun also followed suit.

Jiang Xiaotian patted the two of them on the shoulders with relief, and the two helped him sit on a chair to rest, and after a long time, he left Yanyu Villa.

Walking on the road, Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun carefully sorted out the ins and outs of the matter, Xu Yunxi concluded: "Now we need to figure out two things, one is who is pulling these gangs together, and what is the purpose? Second, who killed Shen Shiyi, and what is the benefit of killing him? ”

"Well, the conference will be held the day after tomorrow, and then we'll see what clues are at the meeting?", Sheng Lingyun agreed, and the two returned to Xiantingju with a heavy fog.

As soon as he entered the building, he saw Xiao Ziyan chatting happily with Qiao Yiling.

"Ziyan, you're back." Xu Yunxi beckoned and walked up to the two of them with Sheng Lingyun.

"Brother Xu, Brother Sheng!" Qiao Yiling greeted warmly, and the two nodded in response.

"Gongzi Xu, I didn't receive Gongzi Sheng, I'm sorry."

"I came early to miss you." Sheng Lingyun explained.

"Everybody's here anyway, so it's okay." Xu Yunxi didn't care about these little things, "Let's go upstairs and sit!" ”

Everyone went upstairs together to find a secluded place, and listened to Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun tell them about today's events as they were.

Qiao Yiling was shocked: "The situation in Yanyu Villa is far more complicated than I imagined!"

"Looks like this is about to be a vicious fight!" Xiao Ziyan heard this answer.

"Let's keep quiet for the time being, and wait until the Yanyu Villa conference starts to take countermeasures!" Xu Yunxi reminded the two.

"Yes, it is important to elect the banker." Sheng Lingyun added, the other two nodded, and then a few people dispersed.

Qiao Yiling couldn't sit still, came to the street to play, and heard someone on the side of the road talking about the new masked woman, she couldn't hold back her happiness and leaned over to inquire.

Others saw that she was a delicate woman, and she described it vividly, arresting thieves, chasing stolen silver, training bullies at night, and even fabricating her undercover bandit village and the government to destroy the bandits' den in one fell swoop!

Qiao Yiling looked stunned, God knows that it was just when she took advantage of the bandits' hunting to be alone, captured the thief first, captured the king first, tied up the bandit leader and handed it over to the government, and then the bandits themselves collapsed, and the government had a chance to take advantage of it.

Qiao Yiling couldn't help but interrupt: "Hey, is she so powerful, it's over!"

The man turned around and looked at Qiao Yiling with a serious face: "Little girl, where are you, go and inquire yourself, and see if I lied." Qiao Yiling didn't know whether to be happy or explain when he heard this, so he said yes in response, and got up crying and laughing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, I saw a man with a golden snake wrapped around his body and a woman with black lips and a black spider on his waist swaggering over with a few sect members, they were all Miao Jiang clothes, and the crowd on the street was divided into two sides, and they didn't want to get close to them.

Qiao Yiling felt a chill, and then heard the whisper of the person next to him: "What is the Golden Lotus Sect doing?"

Qiao Yiling tilted his head and asked, "Golden Lotus Sect?" What do they do, dress up so strangely. ”

The person who told the story just now seemed to have an epiphany: "It turns out that you are a fledgling girl, and you don't know anything!"

Qiao Yiling was teased again, and he was speechless.

The person next to him took over the conversation: "The Golden Lotus Sect is a Miao Jiang Poison Sect, which is rampant and domineering, and full of evil. This is their Golden Snake Protector and Poison Siniang, I don't know what the purpose of this trip is. ”

Qiao Yiling noticed that it was not simple, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he hurried back to Xiantingju after they left, ran upstairs and knocked on Xu Yunxi's door, but no one answered, and when he knocked on Sheng Lingyun's door, no one answered.

At this time, Xiao Ziyan heard the movement, came out of the door, and asked, "Miss Qiao, what's wrong?"

"Ziyan, I'...... I saw the Golden Lotus Sect. Qiao Yiling tried to calm his breathing.

Xiao Ziyan was also taken aback when he heard this, and muttered: "What are they doing here?" Then he told Qiao Yiling not to be nervous, he went to find Xu Yunxi and the two.

After Xiao Ziyan left, Qiao Yiling returned to the room and drank a glass of water, holding the cup in his hand and thinking: The current situation is becoming more and more complicated, in addition to the relationship between the constitution wind and Shen Shiyi, and now there is another Golden Lotus Poison Sect, I don't know how many hidden dangers there are...... It seems that this conference must be full of dangers and hidden murderous opportunities!

Qiao Yiling became more and more interested in this matter, and as soon as she put her cup down, she made up her mind to figure out the mystery.
