Chapter 166: An Emergency Meeting of the Tucheng Elites

Because he couldn't control his emotions, he distracted himself elsewhere to normalize himself, and this time he focused directly on the conference room while grilling various meats, eavesdropping on what people were saying.

The atmosphere there was obviously not harmonious, there was no kind of false welcome and boo greetings as soon as someone came in, except for the rhythmic footsteps every time someone arrived, the conference room had maintained a suffocating silence all the time, and judging by the footsteps, there were far more people coming this time than he had imagined.

The weird atmosphere even made He Ming distracted, so he turned it a little late, causing a piece of beef to be over-burned, of course, ordinary people would even praise this meat for being charred on the outside and tender on the inside, but he felt very defeated, so his attention finally turned back to the barbecue, no matter what happened, the dignity of foodies cannot be questioned.

At this time, the people in the conference room finally began to speak, and in this dual-minded situation, He Ming kept his hands on his hands, and he did not miss a single word over there.

"I think you all know why you are here so urgently." The head of the Ma family said these words in a very calm, but angry, voice.

"I'm sorry, you used the authority of the head of the Li family to summon us urgently, and we did so without question, but I can guarantee that many people really don't understand what happened!"

The head of the Ma family raised his tone and said, "Then don't you really know what's going on?" The civilians in Tucheng have been talking about things for several days, and you are so lonely and unheard? ”

Immediately, the whole conference room was buzzing and whispering, but judging from the performance, they really didn't know.

He Ming was secretly funny, who would be bored to go there to take a look? The head of the Ma family is really not so young in vain.

He Ming, who claimed to be a senior foodie, was hit hard, and cut off the burnt horn with lightning speed, and stuffed it into his mouth when no one else saw it, he began to only eavesdrop and cook, and didn't think about anything.

As expected, the head of the Ma family really didn't expect that no one present knew that at the junction of the commercial area and the civilian area, it had been boiling for five days.

In the eyes of the confused people, he could only point to the desert map hanging there, and said it word by word: "Everyone, this map, the entire alliance, has only been seen by everyone here." This is the picture, which is painted almost untouched on one of the walls of the commercial district, with only a few dangerous places deliberately missing. ”

For a while, all kinds of noisy voices rang out in the entire conference room, most of them were shocked and angry, mixed with all kinds of accusations and suspicions.

The head of the Ma family said coldly: "Looking at it from this way, everyone is really pure and flawless, unaware, shocked beyond comprehension, this happened to be seen by my people, so here is the first one I know, it seems that I did it?" ”

The whole conference room fell silent, and this time it was really a needle that could be heard clearly, and it was a long time before a hesitant voice came out:

"No one will suspect you, and now we need to consider that we have been discussing how to deal with the desert for a year because it is too broad to be fruitful. And the dangers in the desert are not something that we have known about recently. So if you want to investigate, think about who has the most to gain from doing so. ”

For a while, there was a very noisy voice, and it seemed that everyone thought that they were the least suspicious, and several heads of the family watched the farce coldly, waiting for them to come to a conclusion.

It was a long time before a louder voice rang out:

"I can't talk about the interests first, but our position is still based on so many civilians in the city, the people of our Tucheng are fierce, and everyone is martial, in the case of the risk of the sand monster is concealed, there will definitely be countless people going there to pan for gold!

"Theoretically, though, if the desert is really that rich in precious resources, it must be the people who control the commercial lanes who benefit the most."

The head of the Ma family said: "It seems to make sense, the core commercial channel is in the hands of Shabak City, then what you said is that all the people in our Tucheng are not suspicious, it's really good." ”

The lukewarm voice of the head of the Li family sounded: "Shabak is such a defensive city, it can only collect some travel fees from passing merchants, I may have just learned that they may actually benefit more than so many civilians under our jurisdiction!" ”

In an instant, the conference room fell silent, and after a while, a somewhat hoarse, but by no means low, voice lit up:

"Sounds very reasonable, even I think that the family that is mainly engaged in jewelry and casting in this Tucheng has benefited the most, it seems that you have already determined that this is our Wang family's doing?"

This time, the conference room was silent again, and no one knew how to pick it up.

Li Tingao said: "Everyone, the danger of the legend in this desert has not yet been encountered, we are making a lot of trouble ourselves, if we have to find a source, I dare to ask, who of us here has the strongest drawing ability, how is the picture on the wall?" ”

At this time, everyone looked at the head of the Ma family, and then he asked Ma Jin, who found out about the situation:

"Ma Jin, you can roughly describe the situation of that picture at that time."

Ma Jin saluted everyone and said directly: "That picture looks like it was painted with muddy water and black charcoal, but it is really exactly the same as on this picture, except that some places where sand monsters will appear are not marked, and the whole picture also has a text description, which is almost the same as this picture, and the size is about the same, but there are more colors and more vivid." ”

Li Tingao stared at him with extremely sharp eyes and said, "Didn't you lie? ”

Ma Jin put one hand on his chest and said to him: "I guarantee with my life, there is absolutely no half of a lie in what I said!" There were four guards present who saw it with me, and there were many civilians I could find who could be called to testify! ”

At this time, a voice sounded: "That's easy to say, hey, it's okay for us people to play with some knives and horses, such a big picture, if we want to draw this picture from end to end, I'm afraid no one can do it." ”

Ye Zilan said: "This picture was made by a genius named Yege in the Flame Team, but after the picture was made, he also died in the depths of the desert. If no one had seen the painter with their own eyes, it was indeed not possible for us here to draw such a large and standard map without anyone noticing. ”

She frowned, remembering something, but remained silent, and continued to see how the old men reacted next.

A man with a more majestic voice said: "Now we just can't find the culprit, could it be that anyone here here has secretly raised a master who is particularly good at drawing?" Or who is mixed in to stir up everyone's relationship? It's really almost a desert that I didn't go to the desert, and my own people started fighting. ”

The head of the Li family said: "Since Li Tingao became the owner of Shabak, we have not had disputes here for many years, and no one seems to be uncomfortable in life, right, they will think about provoking our conflicts all day long, that is, outsiders?" Who else could there be? ”

A voice said, "At least I don't think the people of Dayrimon and Beechcraft will be very interested in these things, speaking of which, even in recent years, I seem to have heard rumors about the exile village." ”

Someone else said: "The surname Jin can be regarded as having hands and eyes, and the extremely poor places in the exile village have also integrated the forces there for him, but if his people can blend in with us, then we deserve it." ”

This is all kinds of suspicions began to quarrel, some think that the exile village was originally exiled from Tucheng, and it is possible to mix in the city, and some people even speculate that there is more than one map of the Moon Shadow, maybe Jin Zhen as a Beech came, and also obtained a cloud of the same kind, in short, the spearhead is unanimously turned to the exile village.

At this time, the guard muttered to himself, and said in a funny tone: "This map has been in hand for so long, so many people just discuss and study every day, and they have never really been to the desert alone, and they don't even know the truth, it seems that it is still too dangerous, let's go back to our own homes, those greedy ordinary people, what does it matter to us whether we live or die?" ”

At this time, the whole room, except for a few people who were more familiar with him, stared at him with an expression that if I couldn't beat you, I would chop you to death now.

And he continued to say to himself: "Look at so many people, it seems that they rushed over to the meeting in a hurry, and they have been pushing this and that for a long time, and the people in the whole city have seen it, and they are not in a hurry to think about how to deal with it next, and they are still trying to deal with our own contradictions, or you can discuss it first, and we will discuss it tomorrow?" ”

At this time, although some people were so angry, several big people understood what the judge said.

The head of the Ma family opened his mouth and said: "Then everyone, Mr. Judge is very right, no matter who caused this matter, it is not the first priority, we should immediately arrange a way to deal with it, the civilians in the city will definitely not be restrained, as soon as the weather is warm, there will be countless people going to pan for gold." ”

The head of the Li family also said: "Yes, and the people who go are the same as before, that is, the loss of a group of people, the problem is that the map is too detailed, once someone is lucky and brings back valuable things, our Tucheng will be considered to be finished." ”

The head of the Wang family said: "Yes, it was really a mistake for a while, let's quickly sum it up, we must rush to the adventurers among these civilians to go to the desert to have an understanding of the specific danger there!" ”
