Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Chen Family's Speculation
Sun Yan has a contract with Shishi, even if he doesn't use that perception talisman array, he can roughly know his location, and he just gives him a message as soon as he encounters any emergency, after all, this is a ghost market. But now, it's the news that the key is broken.
Sun Yan sent a message to Shi Shi to ask him to come back, and he didn't worry too much. Maybe it's something else, if the key really has something to do, the stone would have looked for him a long time ago.
When Sun Yan returned to the station, Chen Zan had already arrived at a manor at the foot of the mountain where the Ghost Pen Pagoda was located. This is the management center of the ghost city, which is controlled by the major forces of the hidden world.
After Chen Zan came to the manor, he did not go to the management office first, but went straight to the place where the Chen family settled in the hidden world. Among the four major families, the Chen family and the Yan family have the closest relationship with the hidden forces behind them, because medicine and manufacturing are different from others, and all kinds of formulas and patterns are top secrets, so it was the branch of the hidden family that came to the secular development at the beginning. And the Shen family and the Zhao family are just disciples who have changed their surnames.
"Hey, Brother Zanshi, haven't you already been here in the afternoon?" The person in charge of the guard couldn't help but wonder when he saw Chen Zanchun coming at night.
Every time Chen Zan comes to the ghost market, he naturally comes here first to visit, and this time because of Dabi, Chen Duo, the second son of the head of the hidden Chen family, also came in person, so he came early in the afternoon to visit. At this time, when I heard someone ask, I hurriedly said: "I am also annoying that Brother Lao reported that something happened to a shop in the market, and I want to meet the chief manager." ”
The chief manager is the supreme governor of the hidden Chen family stationed in the ghost market, and usually manages the ghost market in coordination with various families. When the man heard Chen Zan's words, he said: "Brother Zan is not an outsider, so there is no need to report it, since there is something to do, you can go in quickly." ”
Chen Zan thanked him and hurriedly walked into the compound. He quickly walked through the vestibule to another courtyard, and waited for the guards here to report before he saw the chief steward, Chen Zhengxing.
Chen Zhengxing was talking with Chen Duo, and when he saw Chen Zan coming in, he asked with a smile: "The virtuous nephew is here for the matter of Qingyuan Street?" ”
Chen Zan hurriedly saluted Chen Duo and Chen Zheng, and then said: "I don't want to alarm the chief manager, then you see this matter......"
"It's not a big deal," Chen Zhengxing stroked his beard, "It's just a robbery, it's just that this kind of thing has never happened in the ghost market, so you're making a fuss." I have already given an account to the law enforcers, bring back all the troublemakers, and if they resist, they will be killed on the spot. ”
Chen Zan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but frowned again and said: "My lord, what kind of person are you talking about who dares to do such a thing openly in the ghost market, and besides, there are some ordinary things in that shop, so the little nephew thinks, will there be other reasons?" ”
"What is the reason?" Chen Zhengxing snorted: "You are suspicious, the major forces have been at peace for a long time, who will have nothing to do?" Isn't it all good to wish the family? Who would dare to break ground on our heads. ”
Chen Zan also felt justified when he heard this, and was about to leave, but a guard reported: "Chief Qiqi, there are a total of 53 troublemakers, six people have been killed, and the rest have all been brought back and are now being escorted to the execution room." ”
"Oh," Chen Zhengxing thought for a moment and said, "Then I won't go over, and I'll wait for them to come out with a result." ”
"Wait a minute," Chen Duo stopped the guards and said to Chen Zhengxing: "Uncle Zheng, why don't we go and have a look, if it's really like what Brother Chen Zanxian said, I'm afraid it's better for us to interrogate it personally." ”
Chen Zhengxing nodded and said, "What the second son said is very true. In that case, let's go with Zanxian's nephew. ”
The three of them soon arrived at the execution chamber of the management office with a team of guards. It is said that it is a torture room, but there is not a single torture instrument in sight, and all the people who have just made trouble have been brought back, and they are standing in the courtyard of the torture room compound shivering.
Chen Zhengxing glanced at the scene in the courtyard, there were less than twenty people standing scattered, and they were basically all hung up. He frowned and asked the leader of the enforcers, "Didn't you say that only six people were killed?" How is this? ”
The black-clothed masked man said: "Chief Chen, we killed six, and the rest were all killed by them." ”
Chen Zan carefully inspected and approached Chen Zhengxing: "Lord Steward, there is no one of us here. ”
Chen Zhengxing asked the man in black again: "Didn't the guy bring it?" ”
"Chief Chen, everyone present is here, whether they are alive or dead, the store has been cleared, and the subordinates have specially left two people, so that they can bring back suspicious people when they encounter them."
Chen Zhengxing nodded: "It's hard work, you guys go down first, the old man will personally interrogate these people." ”
The man in black clasped his fists and saluted, and then beckoned, and more than a dozen law enforcers in the courtyard disappeared at the same time.
"Zanxian nephew, you can ask." Chen Zhengxing said to Chen Zan.
Chen Zan walked up to a young man with minor injuries and asked gently, "Which family are you from?" ”
The hoods of these people had been lost during the fight, and the young man knew Chen Zan and said in fear: "Team Leader Chen, the villain is from the Western United." ”
"Oh, the Shen family." Chen Zan nodded, "You can tell me in detail." ”
This young man was not the first group of people to enter, he only knew what happened later, and Chen Zan asked in many ways, and finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter. He looked at a bearded man and said, "You mean, you see everyone in my shop taking off their hoods and running away crying, while the last person to leave is still wearing a mask, right?" ”
"Exactly." The man was the first group of onlookers, so he knew the whole process very well, and hurriedly said: "The villains are also greedy for a while, so this is ...... Ask Team Leader Chen to spare his life! ”
Chen Zan couldn't speak, so Chen Zhengxing asked first: "Wait, can you tell me what the people in the store look like when they run out?" ”
The man carefully recalled: "They looked very strange, as if they were enchanted, crying and saying that they were going to find someone. ”
Chen Zhengxing and Chen Duo glanced at each other, "What do you see, second son?" ”
Chen Duo nodded, "According to this situation, if it is not the method of ghost cultivation, then it is ......."
"The Art of Creating a Landscape!" Chen Zhengxing gritted his teeth and said.
Chen Zan opened his mouth when he heard this, but he didn't dare to interject, Chen Duo looked at him and said, "What does Brother Zan Xian want to say?" ”
Chen Zan leaned closer and whispered, "Could it be a drug like the Yan family's incense?" ”
Chen Duo shook his head, "Even if it is the Hidden Yan Family, although the drug can cause hallucinations, it will definitely not make everyone run away. ”
Chen Zhengxing thought for a while and immediately said to Chen Zan: "Virtuous nephew, you go back and count the losses first." It is imperative that you find the guy in your shop as soon as possible, and bring him to me as soon as he finds it. ”
"Little nephew understands!"
After Chen Zan left, Chen Zhengxing ordered someone to help the troublemaker heal first, and he discussed with Chen Duo: "Second son, will this matter be as Chen Zan said, and there is something strange?" ”
"Well......" Chen Duo muttered, "If the ghost cultivates the method of ecstasy, there will be a breath left, and it can't be concealed from the law enforcers, they didn't report it to you just now, so it means that it's not...... How many people in the world can perform the art of creating an environment? ”
"Yan Boyuan and Shen Tong of the Shen family are both Jindan cultivators, in addition to the two of them, there is also a mysterious organization called Qingkite on the rivers and lakes, and there seem to be Jindan sorcerers among them. It's just that this organization has no conflict with us, and it mainly cheats money, so it is not monitored. ”
Chen Duo nodded, "Wait until Chen Zan finds those guys first, if they are really affected by the Realm Creation Technique, they should be able to sober up soon if they run out of a certain range." It may also be that the children of the hidden world who came to participate in the competition had a dispute with the shop guys, and then they shot in a rage, but I heard the description of the people who made trouble just now, this person's creation method is a little peculiar, and it must be figured out as soon as possible, which is related to the big competition and resource competition in the back. ”
"I understand," Chen Zhengxing shook his head and said, "I don't know what good things a secular shop can have to attract such a person." Second son, you go back first, I will report to you immediately if there is any news, this matter involves various wings, I am afraid that it will soon make trouble in the management office, I will go over and take a look first. ”
"Good!" Chen Duo said as he walked out: "Our guys must be found, and you will personally inquire about them, and they must not fall into the hands of others." ”
"Yes!"
……
"Where have you been?" As soon as Shen Nanjing and Gu Bo entered the door, Sun Yan asked first.
Wang Qi came back the earliest, Sun Yan and he had finished eating, and the two had just arrived. Shen Nanjing touched his stomach and said: "I'm starving, this huge ghost market doesn't even have a place to sell food." ”
Gu Bo asked Sun Yan, "Have you eaten it?" I went to the hexagram stall to look at it for a while, and Nanjing went to the weapon shop to look at the bow and arrow, and was about to come back, but there was an accident on Qingyuan Street, and we happened to be stopped there, and we took a long detour to come back. ”
"The two of us just eat," Sun Yan said to Shen Nanjing with a smile: "You treat the ghost market as a vegetable market, and I will prepare food for you, you should hurry up and go to the room to eat first." ”
Shen Nanjing nodded and said: "I don't know who ate the leopard's gall and dared to rob the weapon shop, I heard that many people were killed and injured." ”
"Robbing an armory shop?" Sun Yan was stunned when he heard what he said, and recalled that the shop he went to seemed to be on Qingyuan Street. So he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Which shop is it? Why do people die? ”
Shen Nanjing shook his head: "There is that weapon shop on Qingyuan Street, I don't know what is going on." I heard that a group of people went to rob the weapons shop, and then divided the spoils unevenly and got up. After speaking, he pulled Gu Bo and said, "Let's go eat first, I'm really hungry." ”
Sun Yan analyzed it for a while, and immediately sorted out the cause and effect. Maybe it was because he got all the guys out of the store that some people got into the money and caused a robbery. It seems that the matter is quite big, Sun Yan immediately thought of the round stick he brought back, there must be many people who saw him finally carry the stick out of the store, if he tracks it down, if he doesn't say it, I'm afraid the Zhu family will also have to be implicated.
In view of what happened in the dark market in the Central Plains, Sun Yan immediately greeted Wang Qi when he thought of this, picked up the round stick and left the northern station, preparing to find a place to hide the stick first.
