Chapter Eighty-Four: The Beginning of the Conspiracy
The weather in Hongcheng is always so hot and humid and slimy that people can't lift their spirits.
The land is close to Zhenjiang, there are rich spiritual materials and brute beast materials, there are a lot of convoys coming and going, and the guards at the gate are powerlessly inspecting the various convoys, and they can't lift the slightest spirit.
"This damn weather, damn Cao Laoqi, I arranged for you and my brothers to guard the door. Luo Ming rolled his eyelids and cursed in a low voice.
Cao Laoqi is the chief captain of the patrol team, relying on himself to be a cousin of the Cao family, shouting all day long, with a group of cronies, inspecting the store, and reaping benefits, and handing over all the dirty work to his own team.
Fang Yan looked at Luo Ming's babbling under his hand and glared at him, "Okay, Luo Ming, what are you talking about, if you are heard, I won't be able to protect you." ”
Listening to the captain's words, Fang Yan shrank his head and muttered, "Boss, you are also from the Fang family, why do you need to be afraid of his Cao family." ”
The dialect didn't speak, looking down at the ground.
To tell the truth, it's not that he is afraid that Cao Laoqi is the chief captain of the patrol team, but since the end of the auction, the head of the family has ordered him to come down, and he will not easily have conflicts.
Although he didn't understand why he wanted to focus on cultivation, as a member of the Fang family, he grew up in the Fang family, and with his back to the big tree of the Fang family, he naturally obeyed the orders of the head of the family.
I don't know what the head of the house is preparing for? I hope everything is okay, or else......
The Fang family shrank a certain amount of power, and also let go of some businesses in other industries in Hongcheng, which made Fang Yan always feel that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, which was a bit of a bad feeling.
"Boss, boss, there's an accident. I saw Luo Ming, who was chattering before, babbling and shouting on the grass a hundred meters away from the city gate.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that there was a lot of people over there, and there was a lot of discussion, Fang Yan hurriedly walked out of the city gate, dispersed the crowd next to him, and walked forward with an arrow.
A car with a half-cut square flag, overturned on its side in the jungle, and next to it lay an old man covered in scars, without any breath.
Fang Yan stepped forward and touched his forehead, gradually becoming cold.
The old man had three main wounds, a large wound in the center of his abdomen, a palm print on his chest, and a gap on his head.
It can be seen that this vicissitudes of life old man was first injured by the hook spirit soldier, the bleeding did not stop, and before he could stop the bleeding, he was slapped in the chest again, and the injury was aggravated, so he fled in a hurry, did not control the carriage, and did not even have time to turn on the spiritual power, resulting in a rollover and death.
"Boss, is this one?" Luo Ming carefully looked at the expression on Fang Yan's face.
Fang Yan's face turned pale instantly, he nodded with his eyes closed, and instructed Luo Ming: "Disperse the crowd and put this place in order." ”
"Okay, I understand. Luo Ming skillfully put on a posture to disperse the crowd.
Holding the old man's corpse, Fang Yan jumped onto a wildebeest at the city gate, and galloped towards the northern district.

"What? What happened? How did the Second Elder die, and how could he tell you more about it. In the hall of the Fang family, the patriarch of the Fang family stared at Fang Yan tightly, and an oppressive momentum came out of his body.
It seems that as long as the dialect is a little vague, he will be cleaned up directly.
The elders on both sides also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"Hey, tell the patriarch, I was guarding the city gate in shifts today, and my subordinates suddenly reported that a carriage next to him overturned not far from the door, and the flag of the Fang family was still hanging. As he spoke, Fang Yan analyzed how his guess had hurt.
"Hook Spirit Soldier?" Fang Zhi's fingers slowly tapped on the tabletop, making a clicking sound.
"Family Master, hook spirit soldier, is it it?" Fang Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and asked Fang Zhi.
"Well, that's right. Fang Zhi looked at Fang Yan and instructed: "Recently, pay more attention to the situation of people coming and going, and make more concessions." ”
"The subordinates understand. ”
"Let's go down. ”
Fang Yan withdrew from the hall, looked at the people in the hall, and couldn't help but sigh: "What an eventful season." ”
It turned out that the old man who died before was the second elder of the Fang family, and he had always been responsible for the Fang family's purchase of spirit grass in other towns and villages, and today was the day he returned, but he didn't expect to be killed directly.
"The red-clothed bandit?" Fang Zheng couldn't help but ask after seeing Fang Yan leave.
Fang Zhi looked at the dead Second Elder, his face twitched with pain, and nodded. "The red-clothed bandit boss is good at making hooks, a green yuan hook in one hand, exquisite and extraordinary, the second elder is good at palms, blazing palms, if I'm not mistaken, the second elder's chest is still scorched. ”
Fang Zheng followed what he said in the dialect and found that sure enough, as the patriarch said, all of this was consistent with the scars on the second elder's body.
"But we have never had any communication with the bandits, and the route of the second elder is far from the mountain of the bandits, how can we?" Fang Zheng said angrily.
"It's not possible in normal times, but someone happens to ask them for help?"
"Help?"
"Don't think about it, I'll go to the Management Council and the City Lord's Mansion, and you will settle the Second Elder well. After speaking, he walked out and left a sentence, "My family's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of." Somehow, Fang Zhi was smiling, but Fang Zheng heard a cold chill.
