In the end, Zhang Yuankong still did not accept Carmen's speculation.

"Just because the local family of Wurong may use slave labor to reduce costs and have an impact on the products of the Wang family, Zhou Fuhai will not hesitate to spend money to buy the army and kill these people's lives?"

Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Yuankong said that this thing sounds ridiculous and not worth mentioning. It's just a competition in the business field, how can it be that both sides don't care about thousands of lives?

"Well, I'm just casually talking, believe it or not, it's all up to you."

As for why, Zhang Yuankong can't think of a reasonable explanation now, but he believes that there must be a reasonable explanation that is different from what Carmen said. This explanation must be somewhere, just waiting to be discovered or figured out.

…… Or, it is through other brains that are better used and think more about people, to discover, or to understand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Senior brother?"

It was already the middle of the night, and when Zhang Yuanhe saw Zhang Yuankong suddenly appear like this, he was full of surprises, and he, who had always been steady, actually exclaimed!

"When you entered the city...... There is no trace of it, right? ”

"No, what's wrong?"

Although he ignored Carmen's judgment, Zhang Yuankong was always unable to let go in his heart. After pestering again and again, he simply returned to the city to discuss with Zhang Yuanhe--- anyway, he exerted all his strength, speeding over the galloping horse, and hundreds of miles of mountain roads were really nothing.

Set off at dusk, enter the city when the moon is high, Zhang Yuankong traveled all the way, wind and dust, although the spirit is still good, but also quite tired, I wanted to wash up a little, and then discuss this matter with Zhang Yuanhe, but listen to Zhang Yuanhe's tone...... In the past few days I have been outside, in the city, I am afraid that there will be quite a lot of changes?

"Shenxiao Sect, it's officially difficult."

With a wry smile, Zhang Yuanhe poured a large cup of herbal tea for Zhang Yuankong, and put a few pieces of dough cakes and a plate of pickles, shaking his head and sitting down opposite him.

"Just this afternoon, Li Na led the officers and soldiers and forcibly sealed the immortal tree!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Facts have proved that Zhang Yuanhe has repeatedly insisted on letting Zhang Yuankong leave, which is completely correct.

It's just that the day after Zhang Yuankong went to Qingxi Cave, just as the Jingjiao disciples were doing religious activities around the immortal tree, led by Li Nazhuo, the seven disciples went together, and there were also a large number of officers and soldiers behind them--- I don't know what kind of deal they made with Wang De, the other party actually handed them two hundred elite soldiers in one go, the horses were ready, the knives were unsheathed, the arrows were on the strings, and the murderous spirit was surrounding!

Extremely strong, as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly represented the "imperial court" rather than the "Wurong Mansion", Li Naqi announced, what kind of immortal tree, it is simply a demon worship, confusing the people, and his own people are ordered to come to investigate this matter.

In the announcement, Li Nacao also said that they had found out that this immortal tree was actually completely ineffective, and the so-called "medicinal effect" was nothing more than eating food and overdrawing the vitality of the body, so as long as a period of time passed, the illusion would be extinguished, and the human body would be reborn with a hundred diseases, and it would be ten times more painful. If you stay near the left side of the immortal tree, you can still be blinded, and if you stay away from the immortal tree, you will die and have no life, and there is no reason to be spared.

"By the way, they also cleared the innocence of the Zoroastrian Sect, saying that whether it is Bao Chun or Du Jixiang, they are all people who have exhausted their vitality and have long been dead, and the Zoroastrian assassination of Yunyun is just a rumor deliberately released by some people in the Nestorian Sect to cover up their own actions."

At the same time, Li Nacao also informed the city, saying that the people who had been treated by the immortal tree were now in danger, and they should report to the government as soon as possible.

In addition, Li Na also knew how to be careful, and kept saying that he did not put this matter on the entire Jingjiao, and there was a lot of leeway in his words, obviously he only wanted to seek the immortal tree, and did not want to take the Jingjiao as an enemy.

"Let's get started......"

Glancing at Zhang Yuanhe with a complicated mood, Zhang Yuankong asked, so presumably, Zhang Yuanhe has also launched?

Everything that is happening is in Zhang Yuanhe's speculation, and when the three of them discussed it before, they also discussed a lot of countermeasures that could be taken in response to the occurrence of such a situation.

On the surface, Zhang Yuanhe was noncommittal about this matter, saying that the matter was serious, Zhang Yuankong was not there, and he was not qualified to say anything on behalf of Longhu Mountain, as for private, he complained in a very euphemistic way that the Shenxiao faction relied on His Majesty's favor in Beijing, and had always been rampant and domineering, and did not go to others, how did he go outside, or act like this?

"In addition, I also let out the wind through Ma Hao, saying that the current rhetoric of the Shenxiao Sect is completely nonsense, their real idea is to distinguish between Ming Yi Xia and ban the Yi Sect, and this time they only attack the Jing Sect, because they don't want to make things bigger, and because they are afraid of the power of the joint efforts of the various sects, if they go well, the next one is the Zoroastrian Sect."

"Deliberately making things bigger? However, junior brother, you took the initiative to provoke the difference between Yixia and ......"

After wanting to speak again and again, Zhang Yuankong finally decided that he still trusted the judgment of his junior brother, after all, in terms of ability in this regard, he was far above himself.

"It's fine."

Smiling very confidently, Zhang Yuanhe explained that this was the same reason that the Shenxiao Sect would have no scruples about concealing its true purpose by attacking Zoroastrianism.

"The disparity in strength is so unreasonable that it can't be calculated, so why do you need to calculate more protection? Maybe the power of Zoroastria in Wurong City is enough to block the Seven Sons of Shenxiao, and maybe Aroben still has hole cards in his hand that have not been turned over at all...... But in the end, the country has the power to move mountains, Wu Rong? Wu Rong is in the world, but a bean. These Yijiao will eat and humiliate, what can they do, do they still want to rebel? Do you still dare to rebel? ”

Zhang Yuanhe believes that when things have evolved to such a point, the only way for Jingjiao is to mobilize their own resources in the officialdom as soon as possible to turn around and settle the matter.

"In this case, after the incident, the Shenxiao Sect may not be able to compensate for one or two. However, if they only saw the balance of power in this Wurong City, and thought that they could do something...... That's self-defeating! ”

“…… Hmm, okay. ”

After exposing this topic, Zhang Yuankong began to introduce what he had seen and heard in the mountains in the past two days--- after all, this is the reason why he took the trouble to rush back from the city--- halfway through the talk, Zhang Yuanjin also came back from outside, Zhang Yuankong said it again from the beginning, and taught him to understand it.

"These damn soldiers!"

When Zhang Yuanhe was still pondering, Zhang Yuanjin had already slapped the table angrily, for him, the reason behind it made no difference, so killing someone who was not guilty was enough to make him angry.

"It's something I never thought about......"

Signaling Zhang Yuanjin to calm down first, Zhang Yuanhe's eyes were stunned, and his right hand unconsciously tapped the table, muttering in his mouth, just calculating.

"In order to reduce the cost of manufacturing, they plundered slave labor, because foreign slave labor was not easy to use, so the idea was hit on the idea of the people of Daxia. Because the silver used to buy their lives was still earned, the Lin Liu family did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy the lives of these people. ”

"On the other hand, in order to ensure their own profits, in order to prevent their opponents from lowering costs, the Wang family did not hesitate to spend the same large sum of money to buy the lives of these people."

"At the same time, the same Wang family, in order to ensure their own profits, in order to ensure the operation of their trading stations and ports, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy the lives of those who worked for them."

"Kill, save people...... But it has nothing to do with good and evil, and there is no grudge...... Just for the money, just for the money...... In this world, there is still such a thing?! ”

The more he muttered, the more terrifying Zhang Yuanhe's face became, sometimes green and sometimes red, sometimes white to a trace of blood, and as he chattered, Zhang Yuankong's face became more and more difficult to look at.

"Big brother...... I'm so sorry. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, he was suddenly startled, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, Zhang Yuanhe shook his head vigorously with a panicked look, as if he wanted to get rid of something completely.

"I'm tempted to say that Carmen is completely wrong, and I can't find any other explanation...... In fact, I can now name at least five or six possibilities right away, all of which are enough to explain everything that is happening at the same time. ”

"But."

Sitting weakly, Zhang Yuanhe's eyes were a little scattered, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"But...... None of these explanations could be more powerful than what Carmen might say, and none of them could be convincing...... Even if it was to convince myself. ”

"So."

His gaze refocused, Zhang Yuanhe slowly sat up straight, and his voice gradually became calm and powerful.

"Senior brother, I know you're hoping that I'll be able to raise a possibility again, but...... I must say that Carmen's speculation is the most likely and plausible explanation. ”
