Chapter 48: Speculation

In the Cheng Mansion, there was a mess, and after being caught off guard for no reason, the loss suffered by the Cheng Mansion was definitely the most tragic in a hundred years.

What's even more sad is that this incident happened just a few days after the birthday banquet of the old man of Cheng Mansion.

The prestige that the Cheng family had raised with the help of the Linlang Lin family was suppressed to the extreme at this moment. How can a family that can't even guarantee the safety of its own family shelter others?

Although those terrifying gray-clothed men quickly retreated, for Cheng Fu, this was a bloody and profound lesson that can never be forgotten.

The heads of the He family and the Xu family in the county town came in a very short time, and they were also deeply shocked by the attack on the Cheng Mansion, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts that the other party's strength was extremely strong, if this incident happened to the two of them, I was afraid that the consequences would not be much better than the Cheng family.

After learning that the thousand-year-old blood ginseng was also robbed, although they said regret in their mouths, they did not have a sense of schadenfreude in their hearts.

It's just that seeing the miserable appearance of the Cheng family, they are also sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and readily agreed to the Cheng family's request to assist in tracking down the murderer.

After He Yiming left Cheng Mansion, he immediately took off his gray robe and black scarf and returned home. However, when he returned home, he found that only his mother and sister were still at home, and his father and brother were gone.

Turning his head to look at the fire in the direction of Chengfu, he immediately understood the whereabouts of his father, brother and others.

After touching his face, he took out another bottle, poured a little liquid on his hand, and gently applied it for a moment, washed off all his makeup, and then washed his face, and then came to the hall of the courtyard.

As soon as he came to the courtyard, Lin Wenyu immediately straightened his face and asked, "Yiming, where did you go just now?"

He Yiming habitually disturbed his scalp and said, "Mother, I went out just now." ”

"It's so late, what are you going out for, if something happens, what if it happens. Lin Wenyu said with a warm face.

He Yiming smiled and said, "Mother, I'm just going out to practice boxing, nothing will happen." ”

"Practicing boxing?" Lin Wenyu's face softened at this time, for more than a year, she also had some understanding of this precious son's cultivation progress. Although I was happy in my heart, I also felt deeply puzzled. However, after hearing Yiming's words at this moment, she suddenly had a sigh of emotion. It is said that Yiming is a genius, but no one sees the efforts behind him.

If every one of the three generations of the He family has such a level of hard work as him, and he refuses to let go even one night, then I am afraid that everyone will make great progress.

Looking at her son's slightly young, but a little old, the kind of face that combines two different feelings, her heart suddenly soured. How much suffering did this son suffer in secret in order to get ahead in the family!

Thinking of this, Lin Wenyu stretched out his hand and hugged Yiming into his arms.

He Yiming looked at his mother inexplicably, but no matter how genius he was, he couldn't understand his mother's thoughts at this moment. It's just that since he was five years old, he has never been so intimate with his mother. At this moment, with his mother, his heart was also full of warm feelings, and he reached out to hug his mother's waist, and his heart was completely calm. Even the things that I just experienced seem to have been completely forgotten at this moment.

He Yilong's eyes were hot, and he also stepped forward and squeezed into his mother's arms, He Yiming glared at her, she also glared back unceremoniously, the two brothers and sisters stared at each other, and after a while, they laughed at the same time.

The mother and son were happily enjoying their families at home, and as for the news of the Chengfu fire, they no longer took it to heart.

It wasn't until dawn that He Quanming and He Yixuan, father and son, returned from Chengfu.

The faces of the two of them were extremely solemn, obviously after seeing the tragic situation in Cheng Mansion, their hearts were touched.

The three families of He, Xu, and Cheng are known as the three major families in Taicang County, although there are differences in the top combat power, but none of them are easy to mess with.

Since the Cheng family has fallen to such a miserable point, what will happen if those people last night came to the He family?

After He Quanming returned home, he saw Yiming for the first time, and couldn't help but be angry, and said, "Yiming, where did you go last night? Do you know how dangerous it was outside last night?"

He Yiming's heart warmed, and he said, "Daddy, I went out to practice last night, and then I saw a fire in the city, so I came back." ”

"Practice? Why can't you practice at home? He Quanming's anger suddenly became much smaller, but his tone was still very sharp.

Lin Wenyu hurriedly stepped forward, pulled He Yiming behind him, and helped explain a few words in a whisper, and also vaguely pointed out that the reason why Yiming was able to achieve today's achievements is inevitably related to his unremitting efforts on weekdays. Since the son has such a mind, the parents can't hold back no matter what.

He Quanming was just worried about his son's safety, and at this moment, he even borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and repeatedly told him a few words, to promise that he would not go out again in the next few evenings.

He Yiming was naturally submissive, and he didn't refute it at all. He was extremely glad in his heart that he had passed the test like this.

However, when he returned to his room, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

What should I do with this thousand-year-old blood ginseng? I definitely can't give it to my father, and I can't afford to throw it away, so do I want to eat it myself?

※※※※

In the Cheng Mansion, after a day of tidying up, calm has been restored.

It's just that at this moment, Cheng Fuzhong no longer has the festive atmosphere of the previous few days, but the gloomy clouds are bleak, and the miserable crying can be heard everywhere.

And at this moment, in the backyard of the Cheng Mansion, Old Man Cheng and Cheng Jiahui, the two rulers of the Cheng family, are sitting together.

The two of them are the core of the Cheng family, and as long as they are alive, the Cheng family will definitely not decline.

"Jiahui, can you really be sure?" Old Man Cheng asked in a bitter voice, although he had already given himself the answer in his heart, he would rather ask more again.

Cheng Jiahui nodded slowly, his head seemed to be as heavy as Mount Tai, but it was still unswerving.

"Daddy, what that person used was indeed the Xu family's fire skill. Cheng Jiahui's voice was deep and powerful: "I have fought with Xu Laosi many times, and I am deeply impressed by this, and there will be absolutely no mistake." ”

The muscles on Old Man Cheng's face twitched faintly, and he muttered: "Agni Fire Gong, I can hurt you with one palm at will, I'm afraid it's not the eighth layer anymore." ”

"That's right, when the child made a move, the man had just come out of the inner courtyard, and he was obviously caught off guard, but with a palm in his hand, the child's blow was easily broken by him, and even the child himself suffered some internal injuries. Fortunately, the man was in a hurry and begged to go, otherwise if he stopped...... Cheng Jiahui smiled bitterly and said: "If this is the case, then I am afraid that the child will not be able to see his father today." ”

Old Man Cheng's face was blue and red, and he no longer had the usual sense of grace and luxury.

He snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid it's not that person who is bent on begging, but thanks to your mother's blood, so the Xu family doesn't dare to poison it, if it is someone else in the family, hum ......"

Cheng Jiahui immediately lowered his head, he had long suspected this idea, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the old man.

"Have you found out the origin of that group of people?"

Cheng Jiahui said in a deep voice: "More than ten corpses have been collected, and after identification, no familiar faces have been found. ”

Old Man Cheng was stunned and asked, "Are they from out of town?"

"That's right, this is the only explanation, otherwise it would be impossible for so many internal strength cultivators not to know any of them. ”

"Outsiders?" Old Man Cheng said suspiciously: "Could it be that the Xu family has begun to collude with outsiders?"

The child was also puzzled, but what the man in gray performed was indeed the Xu family's fire skill. Cheng Jiahui said with an oath.

The father and son looked at each other speechlessly, although they didn't believe that the Xu family would have the courage to do such a thing. But the Agni Gong is the Xu family's unique technique, and it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to impersonate it.

After pondering for a long time, Old Man Cheng finally said: "Jiahui, you arranged for someone to spread it out, and among the thieves that night, someone used the ninth-layer fire skill. ”

Cheng Jiahui suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "Daddy, if we do this, wouldn't it be tantamount to tearing our faces with the Xu family?"

Old Man Cheng snorted coldly and said, "Cheeky, since their Xu family is not cheeky, why should we hide it? Could it be that dozens of lives of our Cheng Mansion have been lost in vain?"

When he said this, the old man's tone was a little faintly trembling, and his voice was full of resentment.

Cheng Jiahui's face twitched fiercely, he looked at his father in surprise, the image of the old man in his mind seemed to collapse at this moment, but it can also be seen how far the resentment in the old man's heart has reached.

After a while, Cheng Jiahui finally sighed and said, "Yes, Daddy, the child will go." ”

Old Man Cheng's face softened, and said: "Jiahui, don't worry, the Xu family doesn't dare to do anything, as long as our relationship with the Linlang Lin family continues, as long as your sister is still alive, then our Cheng family will always be one of the three major families in Taicang County." ”

Cheng Jiahui hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.

Old Man Cheng stood up, and after venting just now, he seemed to have fully recovered.

"Jiahui, Li'er is seventeen this year. ”

"Yes, Lil is exactly seventeen. ”

"Well, it's a big girl, and you should find a mother-in-law for her. Old man Cheng said loudly: "Among the three generations of children of the He family who came to celebrate their birthday this time, He Yitian is very good, and he is a good match for Li'er, so you can go there yourself." ”

Cheng Jiahui was stunned, thought about it seriously, and when he looked up, the old man had already left.

He sighed softly, and he didn't know what he was thinking!
