The Hong family knew that Hong Tianbao and the master had entered the teahouse, but what they talked about inside was unknown to outsiders. But in the end, everyone saw that Hong Tianbao and the master were like mourning when they went in, and when they came out, they were full of spring breeze. After that, there was no movement.

Where Zhang Nan and Indifferent Xue went, no one knows. And Hong Tianbao also kept silent about the identities of Zhang Nan and the others, only saying that he was a senior who had escaped from the world and had some connections with the Hong family. asked more, Hong Tianbao impatiently said that the matter was over, and everyone would live a peaceful and stable life as usual.

Everyone was depressed.

How can it be the same as before, there are still many people in the Hong family who have been "eaten" by them, and they haven't spit it out until now. Even if there is nothing else, we have to give them back to us.

Everyone is in a hurry, only Hong Tianbao and Master are not in a hurry. The only measure is to beat Hong Xiaobao, who had just woken up, again, and locked up Xiu Wei and locked him up. Even Mrs. Hong, who had been making a fuss, was locked up by Hong Tianbao.

The son was not saved, the nephew was beaten, the wife was closed, and everyone saw that Hong Tianbao was going to heaven, and no one dared to say anything. In this way, the boiling teahouse incident is over.

But this is only on the surface, and there are still many people who are puzzled by this in private. There are even some people who are very uneasy about this. In fact, including Hong Tianbao, they were all a little anxious.

Although there is a lot of content in his conversation with Zhang Nan, the core is actually very simple.

Zhang Nan said that there was a problem in Qiongzhou this time, and many people in the temple were very dissatisfied. In the past, the person in charge of the dark pile was very difficult to control. Some people insist on keeping it, but there are also people who want to replace it. And this time Zhang Nan came over, it was on behalf of the faction that was replaced.

Hong Tianbao understood as soon as he heard it, infighting, it's not new anywhere, something happened in the temple, and it's normal to have disagreements.

Immediately, Hong Tianbao said that he could be qualified for this position.

When you encounter an opportunity, you must seize it, especially if the other party will not be resident in Qiongzhou. Too much humility will only let the opportunity slip away. What's more, his son and a large number of people are still in the hands of others, and he can't agree if he wants to.

Zhang Nan was noncommittal about Hong Tianbao's self-recommendation, saying that it doesn't matter who he changes, the key is to be obedient and understand current affairs. And in order to be able to convince the other faction, something had to be done to cook the raw rice into rice. Since I don't know who the person in charge of the dark pile is, I can only start from other ways.

Let Hong Tianbao gather all the people who work for the temple in Qiongzhou as much as possible, and coerce and induce all these people to obey, so as to elevate the person in charge. In this way, the Hong family can naturally ascend to the top.

As for the people who were arrested by the Hong family, Zhang Nan also made it clear that he couldn't fully trust Hong Tianbao, and those people were all hostages. As long as Hong Tianbao does it wholeheartedly, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he will let people go in the end.

Of course, Hong Tianbao would not refuse, and after Zhang Nanmian instructed him, he went back and started the operation.

The first thing to do was to get a list of the families who worked for the temple.

Hong Tianbao knew a little about how many people helped the temple, but he didn't know everything. The list of related families is only available in the shadows.

The shadow is the supreme person in charge, and Hong Tianbao doesn't know who it is, but he can contact him in a special way.

......

A few days later, at night, in a small, dimly lit room.

In the corner sat a figure hidden in the darkness, and a man in a black robe stood in the center of the room.

"Master, you have suffered. The black-robed man said in a dumb voice.

"It's all trivial, it's okay. The voice of the figure in the corner was also very low, but it didn't seem to be very old: "It's the attitude of the Holy Envoy's side, which is really incomprehensible." ”

"Don't you suspect that the Holy Envoy is fake?" the black-robed man asked, "Isn't your doubt dispelled now?"

"Still can't be sure. The figure in the corner was silent for a moment, and then thought: "The situation of the battle in the Black Dragon Gorge is unknown, and it cannot be ruled out that the Holy Envoy has been captured and killed and is now being impersonated. That's why I didn't let Master Hong come into contact, but used the power of the Hong family to test it. But the result of the trial made me even more confused. ”

"The subordinates don't understand. The black-robed man was puzzled: "Those two people easily played with the Hong family between applause, and the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the methods are also very in line with the style of the temple. If it weren't for Hong Tianbao's decisive handling, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as just missing a few people. With that kind of strength and means, his subordinates are in the Eastern Emperor Qiongzhou, and they can't find anyone else. ”

On the surface, this is indeed the case, but Hong Tianbao's reaction is too strange. The figure said: "I know Hong Tianbao, although he is subject to the temple, and even to me, he is not a person without bones. But after he talked to the envoy, he did not have the slightest displeasure, and did not even care about those who were captured, which was not in his temperament. Behind the whole thing, there must be a problem. ”

The black-robed man thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the Holy Envoy promised him something, such as the safety of the lives of those who were captured, and some benefits, which are all possible." ”

"I've thought about all of this, but it's not enough to make Hong Tianbao happy like that. The figure said in a deep voice: "Unless, let Hong Tianbao replace me." ”

"Huh?" the black-robed man was visibly surprised: "It's impossible, even the Holy Envoy can't know your true identity." The entire Eastern Emperor Qiongzhou should be the only one I know. ”

"Although I am not part of the temple, the temple has no right to replace me. The figure said: "If that holy envoy really puts forward such conditions, it means that he is false." That's why I'm still skeptical. ”

The black-robed man was silent for a long time before he spoke: "If it is fake, then it means that the real holy envoy is dead or captured. With the strength shown by those two people, we are even more invincible. In this case, the only way to contact the temple is to send stronger messengers. ”

"No. The figure shook his head: "It's all just speculation now, and it can't be confirmed yet." And contacting the temple is not an easy task. ”

"Then what should the subordinates do next?" The black-robed man said, "Hong Tianbao has been contacting me these days, and the list of families who want to do things. ”

"The list ......" the figure frowned.

According to common sense, you can't just give it away. But the other party wanted to use the banner of the Holy Envoy, and it was not convenient to refuse. And if you think about it differently, it seems that there is no need to refuse. Perhaps, this is an opportunity.

"Give it to him. The figure seemed to have made up his mind.

"Whatever he does, as long as it is within the bounds of allowability, he will do it. The figure said: "Only by doing too much can we find flaws." The 'key' is in my hands, and I am not afraid of their tricks. ”
