Chapter 62: The Secret
Xia Fan left Nanxi County.
But he didn't leave alone.
After learning that Xia Fan was going to Lingxian, Yao Kuo took the initiative to let Yao Sheng follow Xia Fan.
Because the Yao family has a lot of business contacts with the Qi family, a big clan in Lingxian County, if Yao Sheng comes forward, it will definitely provide a lot of convenience for Xia Fan's trip to Lingxian.
Xia Fan did not refuse.
Since Yao Kuo likes to lick the star building so much, then he is also disrespectful.
With the Star Picking Tower as an example, Xia Fan had to wonder if the hidden sects in the rivers and lakes had cultivated such a group of big clan licking dogs.
Otherwise, it is difficult to explain how these hidden sects have survived countless ups and downs.
It is definitely not enough to deal with these big clans by threatening, after all, even Xia Fan knows the way of both soft and hard.
So Xia Fan has a guess.
Where did the disciples of the Hidden World Sect come from?
The answer is self-explanatory.
In this way, it is no wonder that these big clans are willing to be licking dogs.
"The more I understand the world, the more I feel that the water in this world is really deep. β
In this regard, Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh.
In his eyes, the world is undoubtedly deformed.
The ignorant and incompetent government, the powerful clans that run rampant in the township, and the lawless gangs.
But these are just the appearance of society, because no one knows what kind of role the behind-the-scenes forces such as the Hidden World Sect or the Demon Sect play in it.
Xia Fan once told Chen Ji that there was another side of this world that he didn't understand.
What's the other side?
On the other hand, it refers to what lies beneath the surface of society.
For example, the two warriors who once openly fought on the street and almost killed Xia Fan.
Are they ordinary warriors?
No!
So who are they? Now Xia Fan knows!
They are grandmasters.
And the Grandmaster in this world means not only strength, but also power!
In the face of such a humanoid nuclear bomb, in the case that no one can sanction them, the local government and the powerful clan can only be at the mercy of it, not to mention those gangsters.
Therefore, Xia Fan's desperate cultivation was not without other factors.
Oh!
It's amazing!
In the future, he will fight the grandmaster!
......
Ling County is only half a day's journey from Nanxi County, Xia Fan and Yao Sheng did not delay on the road, and arrived directly in Ling County before sunset.
Under the leadership of Yao Sheng, they visited the Qi family, and unsurprisingly received the courtesy of the Qi family.
Fortunately, the Qi family didn't know Xia Fan's origin, and only thought that he was a distinguished guest of the Yao family, so he didn't show too much enthusiasm in hospitality like the Yao family.
Enthusiasm is a good thing, but it's easy to be embarrassed to be overzealous.
Xia Fan rested at Qi's house for one night, and the next morning he and Yao Sheng went to find Bai Ji's whereabouts.
This time there was one more person between them.
The other party is a steward of the Qi family, and after Yao Sheng came to see his intentions last night, the Qi family generously sent someone to assist them.
"Two distinguished guests, the Bai Ji you are looking for is in the house in front. β
I have to say that there are people in the local area who are easy to do, and it didn't take long for Xia Fan and them to find a place where Bai Ji lived under the guidance of the Qi family's steward.
"Let's visit this Bai Ji, and when the time comes, we just need to say that we are the old people of Wei Anshan. β
After receiving Xia Fan's signal, Yao Sheng and the Qi family steward stepped forward and knocked on the door of Bai Ji's residence.
Soon.
The door opened, and a little girl's head poked out of it.
"Who are you?"
The little girl was about ten years old, with two pigtails, but her immature face showed an adult-like vigilance.
"Excuse me, Yao Sheng, a person from Nanxi in Xia Nai, the former old friend of Wei Anshan, came here today to visit Mr. Bai on purpose. β
Yao Sheng immediately explained with a gentle smile.
"Then you wait outside the door first, I'm going to report to Daddy. β
After saying that, the little girl closed the door and ran to report it.
Not for a moment.
The doors reopened.
"Daddy has promised to see you, so please come with the little girl. β
I saw the little girl bow slightly to the crowd and bow a blessing to them, and then led them to a courtyard.
There is a small pavilion in the courtyard, and a middle-aged scribe is sitting at the stone table in the pavilion and flipping through a book.
"Daddy! β
Before and after the little girl brought them to the pavilion, she immediately said to Bai Ji.
"Min'er, you go back to the room first. β
Bai Ji put down the book in his hand, waved his hand to let the little girl retreat, and his eyes fell on Yao Sheng and Xia Fan in front of him.
The housekeeper of the Qi family did not come in, but waited patiently outside the door.
"You two, please be seated. β
Bai Ji didn't get up, and directly raised his hand to signal them to sit down in the pavilion.
Xia Fan and Yao Sheng didn't care about Bai Ji's attitude, and after they came to the pavilion and sat down, Bai Ji's next words made the two stunned.
"You two must have found the wrong person. β
"Looking for the wrong person?" Yao Sheng subconsciously stared at Bai Jidao. "Isn't Mr. Bai Ji?"
"It's the white season down there, but it's not the white season you're looking for. Who knew that Bai Ji sighed lightly.
"What do you mean, sir?" said Yao Sheng, completely confused.
Bai Ji then explained their doubts.
According to this Bai Ji, he has never been to Nanxi, let alone served as a seat for the Wei family.
He agreed to see Xia Fan and Yao Sheng, completely because of a relationship with one person.
And this person is Wei Anshan!
"Are you saying that Wei Anshan once looked for you?" Yao Sheng became more and more confused.
"Yes, there was indeed a young man who called himself Wei Anshan who looked for the old man, but after he saw the old man, he said that he recognized the wrong person, and the old man later learned that there were two massacres in Nanxi that year, and the young man from Wei Anshan was the only survivor, he would come to find the old man, it was completely because there was also a Xixi named Bai Ji in his family back then. Bai Ji said patiently.
"Did he say anything else to you?"
Xia Fan said suddenly.
"No, after clearing the misunderstanding, Wei Anshan left, and the old man has never seen this person again. Bai Ji shook his head and said.
"In other words, someone pretended to be your name and went to the Wei family to be a Xixi?" Yao Sheng suddenly said.
"It should be, and the old man was also hired by a friend back then, but it was the Xiao family in Gu County who hired the old man, not the Wei family in Nanxi. Bai Ji said slowly.
The trail is broken again.
Xia Fan could see that Bai Ji in front of him was not lying, after all, it was easy to find out the truth of what he said, and the surrounding neighbors could prove it.
But after listening to Bai Ji's story, Xia Fan was not without gains.
At least he was sure that the Xixi who was disguised as Bai Ji had a major suspicion.
What's more critical is that Wei Anshan has found this true white season.
Does this mean that he was aware of the clues just as much as he was back then? But why did he fall into the crazy situation of revenge on the Star Picking Tower in the end? What did that fake Bai Ji say to him back then? and what did he do?
Andβ
He found out in the deserted home of Wei Anshan that Wei Anshan used to return to the abandoned home very often.
Because of the furnishings and dust in the chambers.
He noticed that the tables and chairs in the side rooms were clearly moved, and even the dust in different side rooms was different.
And what did he go back to the old house for?
What a mess!
Now, Wei Anshan is dead, and the most important suspect, Fake Bai Ji, is nowhere to be found.
The entire murder case has become an unsolved case.
Xia Fan was also helpless.
It would be great if there was Skynet and face recognition system in this era, otherwise why would he have worked so hard to find it in vain.
Wait a minute!
Poison?
