Chapter 427: Linhai Bridge Family
Near the sea.
In the big mansion of the Qiao family, Qiao Muran hasn't slept tonight, because he is still waiting for a news, a piece of news that will make him happy.
Linhai has been lifeless for many years, it was occupied by the Huo family all the year round, the Huo family pressed the Qiao family everywhere, and finally the Huo family fell, no matter what they said about the Qiao family, they should be the king in Linhai.
But a fast-rising Huo Yuntao appeared, and there were people from Zhenguo Mansion who didn't know where they came from.
For that person, Qiao Muran didn't have too much cloud investigation, he only heard Huo Yuntao call him Mr. Li.
No matter what Mr. Li is, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, when he comes to Linhai, he should respect the mountain and worship the boss, and Mu Ran, the old bridge here in Linhai, thinks that no one dares to fight with him.
But that person came to Linhai and saved Huo Yuntao, not to mention, he actually wanted to detain the killing of Huo Wei on the head of their Qiao family, and in the end, fortunately, Huo Yuntao was really good and said that Huo Wei was killed by the person surnamed Li.
Although the Qiao family has no power in the Zhenguo Mansion, the Qiao family can sit on one of the eight great families of Huaguo, and the fact that the bridge family is not in the position of one of the eight great families shows that the intelligence network of the Qiao family is not built.
For that Mr. Li, he naturally investigated it.
The newly appointed Zhenguo Inspector of the Zhenguo Mansion is quite famous, but to put it bluntly, he is just a vacant position, with no background and no strength, why should he supervise the Zhenguo Mansion's generals, and the heads of various branches, and even the heads of the families of one side?
What are you kidding, is it possible to use a so-called supervision envoy brand to destroy a strong man?
Qiao Muran thought it was funny when he thought of this, but this funny was even more unpleasant compared to the feeling of being suppressed by that guy in the old Lianqiao warehouse a few days ago.
Just as Qiao Muran was looking at the night sky outside and counting the time, the old housekeeper of the Qiao family walked over from outside the courtyard with a mobile phone.
"Young master, the old man of the Huo family called."
Qiao Muran said a word of gratitude, and picked up the phone in the old housekeeper's hand.
On the other end of the phone, the old man of the Huo family, Huo Haoran's deep but somewhat weak voice came.
"Qiao Muran, did the people you sent out come back with news?"
"Not yet."
There was a grunk on the other end of the phone.
"There's no news yet, what do you mean, you said that you asked an overseas master to ask for money, but I gave you 20 million, should you have swallowed this money privately and didn't invite a master, and have been fooling my old man."
"Huo Haoran, why didn't I think you were a fool when you were the head of the Huo family before? Now that you have stepped down from the position of head of the family and the Huo family has fallen, has your brain also stepped into the coffin with half a foot with your age? ”
"You ......"
"What am I, you have to find out, what did you give me the 20 million you gave me for, you are begging our Qiao family to come forward and betray your grandson Huo Wei to avenge it.
Your Huo family doesn't want to offend the Zhenguo Mansion, just hide behind your back, let us come forward and let the Qiao family come forward, and I will come forward to do something for you, but you old thing doesn't believe me, what are you. ”
Qiao Muran spat on the ground, hung up the phone, and took it to the old housekeeper.
"The person who sent it hasn't replied yet?"
Qiao Muran asked.
The old butler nodded.
At this time, a short cough sounded behind him, and the person who came was Qiao Muran's father, Qiao Fangcheng.
Qiao Fang cost is not a person who practices martial arts, the youngest because he was forced by the family to practice martial arts in an improper way, but caused a stubborn illness in the body, and Qiao Muran also saw his father suffer because of the practice of martial arts since he was a child, and turned more diligent.
Plus talent is a rare thing, so after Qiao Muran showed his martial arts talent at the age of five or six, he was taken to the remote southern Xinjiang by the then head of the Qiao family, that is, Qiao Muran's grandfather.
Grandpa is extremely strict with the descendants of their grandchildren, especially for a talented teenager like Qiao Muran.
So since he was a child, he didn't get any family care from the elders at home, except for the days when he went home to reunite with his parents once every three years, and he could get family love from his father and mother.
He doesn't have much affection for the bridge family.
It wasn't until after the grandfather's death and death the year before that his father's illness further deteriorated, and the pharmacist of Yaowang Valley came to Qiao's house to smelt his father's illness, and said that the use of elixir is divided into seven grades and eight grades, and the elixir of seven grades has the effect of reviving the dead.
But this elixir is not something you can buy if you have money, it depends on the strength of your family. This is the usual means used by the Medicine King Valley to show its own value.
At that time, Qiao Muran almost knelt in front of the pharmacist in the Medicine King Valley for his father's illness, but the pharmacist still refused to give Hashimu Ran's father medicine.
Seeing that his father's illness was getting worse and worse, Qiao Muran figured out a truth, even if the Qiao family was already one of the eight great families of Huaguo and had a place in the eight great families, the power was not enough.
For the Qiao family to achieve a stronger position, it must unite with other families, such as the Liu family.
On the one hand, the Liu family made a momentum outside so that the Zhenguo Government had to punish the Huo family, and on the other hand, the Qiao family began to take over the Huo family's industry and crush the Huo family economically.
But that's not enough.
For the Medicine King Valley, the Qiao family has not done enough, at least Li Siwen, who made them live and die in a different place, is still alive, and the Qiao family should not want to get the life-saving elixir.
Li Siwen.
At the beginning, Qiao Muran didn't know if Mr. Li who appeared in the warehouse that day was Li Siwen, or if Huo Yuntao secretly told him the news through his eyes later.
In order to cure his father's illness, the people of Yaowang Valley wanted Li Siwen to die, and in order to avenge Huo Wei, Huo Haoran also wanted Li Siwen to die, and this surnamed Li was too arrogant, which also made Qiao Muran feel very uncomfortable.
So no matter what it is, it is destined that Li Siwen must die in Linhai.
It's just that Qiao Muran doesn't want his father to know too much about these dark things, after all, a patient knows a lot, and his body is not very good.
But Hashikata is also a fool.
People who can stand in a big family like the Qiao family and have successfully lived for decades are not human spirits, and Qiao Fangcheng naturally knows what his very capable son is doing behind his back.
"Son, is there a change in things tonight?"
Qiao Muran pinched his thigh, put away all his thoughts, looked at his father and said very self-consciously: "Dad, it's windy at night, your illness should be serious again, go back to the house to rest." ”
Hashikata took his son's hand off his shoulder.
"Ran'er, Dad knows that Dad is sorry for you, Dad's sick body hurt you prematurely took on the responsibility of the bridge family, but Ran'er, some things shouldn't be done, and some people may not be provoked."
"Dad, what do you say? It's just a person who doesn't have real power in the town and country, besides, I found nine masters this time, as well as Dongying's powerhouse, what can he do alone? ”
Qiao Muran was very unimpressed.
"Son, you are still too young, too young to be in a high position, not a good thing, although you have the capital to be arrogant, but in terms of martial arts, there are endless masters, don't take it lightly."
"Your son and I, but I am the first person in Huaguo, a half-step immortal-level master who is less than thirty years old, and I am still afraid of him?"
With a bang, the entire Qiao family mansion seemed to have been earthquaked.
Qiao Muran's face changed and he looked at the people who came over, and asked sharply, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
"Boy, someone broke open the door of the house."
"Who the fuck eats leopard gall and dares to come to our bridge house to find trouble?"
Qiao Muran was angry and wanted to walk towards the door, but before he could go out, he saw a black shadow flashing by.
The shadow stops.
Li Siwen was dressed in black and stood in the courtyard with a long body.
"You're not Qiao Muran?"
