The sin mausoleum eighty miles away in the western suburbs of Tianhang City.

In front of the two barren mounds with only wooden plaques engraved with numbers, Xue Sanniang knelt on the ground and threw the paper money in her hand into the fire in front of her one by one.

Behind him, Chu Qingxiao stood there quietly and did not make a sound.

He knew that the current Xue Sanniang needed a little time to consume everything today, and he also needed some space to say something to his father and brother.

Soon the paper money burned out, Xue Sanniang looked at the grave in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Dad, brother." ”

"Sanniang came back to see you......"

"Sanniang is not filial, and only now has she washed away the grievances of her father and brother......"

Xue Sanniang said that she was a little choked up here, Chu Qingxiao stepped forward when she saw this, stretched out her hand and gently stroked Xue Sanniang's back.

This kind of comfort calmed Xue Sanniang's mood a lot.

She took another deep breath to stop choking in her throat and squeezed a smile out of her face.

"Daddy, brother, don't worry, Sanniang is doing well now, and I have met someone who is worth entrusting." Xue Sanniang said this and looked back at Chu Qingxiao.

"Huh?" Chu Qingxiao was stunned when he heard this, the expression on his face was a little strange, and he always felt that Xue Sanniang's words were a little inappropriate.

But at this stall, it is obviously not the time to correct these mistakes, Chu Qingxiao can only look at the barren mound, and said at that time: "Uncle Xue, Brother Xue, the evil leader who blamed you back then has been ambushed. ”

"Sister Sanniang is doing well, I will do my best to protect her, you know what you know, and you can rest in peace."

"Oh yes......"

"I took it upon myself to find a feng shui treasure in the eastern suburbs of Tianhang City, and in a few days I might disturb the two of you and move them to that place......"

Chu Qingxiao said this and retreated.

Xue Sanniang stepped forward at this time and told her father and brother about what happened recently, which could be regarded as comforting the undead.

……

On the way home, Xue Sanniang also let go of her revenge, and the knot that had plagued her for many years was untied, and she felt unprecedented relief.

On the way, he even opened the conversation box and began to chat with Chu Qingxiao about recent things.

"Qingxiao, don't you think it's a bit risky to do today?" There is a forest on the way to Tianhang City, it is already winter, the trees in the forest have already lost their branches and leaves, step on the ground, and the dead leaves on the ground make a soft rustling sound.

Xue Sanniang said at that time: "I know you want to avenge me, but this matter is in a hurry, if it weren't for Jia Lian's arrogance back then, if you were so reckless today, I'm afraid it would be difficult to end it." ”

Xue Sanniang's mind is delicate, and she is always habitually thinking about others, she can't help but be a little afraid when she thinks about everything that happened today.

It was getting late, and the western suburbs were already desolate, and there was no one to visit at the moment.

Chu Qingxiao smiled: "Sister Sanniang said yes, but does my sister think I'm such a reckless person?" ”

"Huh?" Xue Sanniang, who heard this, smelled something different, she looked sideways at Chu Qingxiao, frowned and asked, "You knew the contents of the dossier before this." ”

Chu Qingxiao was silent.

But such an attitude is probably a tacit acquiescence to Xue Sanniang's speculation.

Xue Sanniang looked worried, but the next moment she figured out what was going on: "Is it the news from the Spiegel Terrace?" ”

Chu Qingxiao nodded and admitted the matter: "The ability of the Spiegel Terrace is much greater than I imagined, they have a lot of hidden piles in the Heavenly Hanging Mountain, and it seems that there are still people in high positions among them......"

Xue Sanniang looked at Chu Qingxiao a little strangely and asked, "Qingxiao, I remember that before this, you seemed to be reluctant to cooperate with Spiegel, why did you ......?"

Chu Qingxiao said with a wry smile: "That Mr. Meng's methods are indeed a bit vicious, but there are not many forces we can use now, and it is helpless to cooperate with him......

Xue Sanniang also understood that their current situation was not too good, so she naturally would not criticize Chu Qingxiao, but she still couldn't help but be a little worried in her heart: "The barren case involves a wide range of things, and that Fu Xuance is even more respectable. ”

"Both the Prison Heaven Division and the Martial Prince's Mansion hope to find out something, but once they investigate deeply, it will provoke the retaliation of Tianhang Mountain, Qingxiao, you took over this case, have you thought about what to do next?"

Chu Qingxiao shook his head: "To be honest, I didn't think about it. ”

"It's so much at stake, we can't even see the whole picture, how can we have any viable plans."

"But that Mr. Meng has a very good saying, every chess player starts with a chess piece, since we have chosen to become the chess pieces of the Wuwang Mansion and the Prison Heaven Division, then we have to come up with some results, otherwise we will not be able to get the blessing of the Heaven Supervisor and the Martial King Mansion, then it is really not pleasing to both ends."

Xue Sanniang nodded silently, of course, she also understood that having come to this point, Chu Qingxiao was indeed a little difficult to ride a tiger.

But if they don't take this step, they will always be a bystander, and life and death will be controlled by others.

Therefore, Xue Sanniang did not have any harsh criticism of Chu Qingxiao's decision, but at that time, she had the courage to put her hand in Chu Qingxiao's palm, and said softly: "No matter what, I will be by your side." ”

Such a move can be described as extremely bold for Xue Sanniang, after she said this, her face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at Chu Qingxiao.

Chu Qingxiao was also taken aback.

Feeling the softness in his hand, his heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly took his hand back.

Xue Sanniang, who felt this, had a somewhat lonely look on her face, she looked at Chu Qingxiao, but saw Chu Qingxiao's face flustered.

She had an impulse in her heart to say something, but she couldn't bear to embarrass him, and with her temperament, she could only swallow these words back after all.

"That's right." She said, "After you left today, some strange things have not been told to you. ”

Chu Qingxiao knew that Xue Sanniang didn't want him to be embarrassed, and his heart was moved, but he didn't know how to respond, so he could only take over the conversation and ask, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's the stall waiting for the people from the white hump to come, the few passers-by who were beaten and scolded by Na Jia Shunwen when we first arrived at the pharmacy, they took advantage of our inattention, slipped into the warehouse of the pharmacy, and rummaged for the goods like crazy."

"Do you want to steal and sell money?" Chu Qingxiao asked, he remembered that those people were in rags, and it was indeed possible to do such a thing.

But Xue Sanniang shook her head, took out a pill from her arms and handed it over: "They are looking for this." ”

Chu Qingxiao took the pill and looked at it carefully.

It was a crimson elixir, with a translucent luster, and before he could get it, Chu Qingxiao smelled a strange fragrance.

The fragrance was so strong that it made Chu Qingxiao a little dizzy.

"What is this?" Chu Qingxiao asked suspiciously.

"The fire is gone." Xue Sanniang said.

"Molten fire?" Chu Qingxiao frowned, he remembered that this pill was one of the ancestral prescriptions of the Xue family, and it was this prescription that caused the Xue family to be coveted by Jia Lian, which led to the disaster of killing.

"Molten Fire Powder is a powdered medicine, used to treat injuries, can be used internally and externally, after Jia Lian captured this pill, after some improvements, it was refined into an elixir, and some strange ingredients were added." Xue Sanniang explained.

"Strange ingredients?" Chu Qingxiao asked suspiciously.

"I don't know exactly what it is, but this ingredient gives the molten fire an extremely strong aroma that masks the bitterness of the drug itself, which is certainly not a big deal, but the scary thing is ......"

"This ingredient seems to be extremely addictive, and the people we saw in front of the pharmacy before were beaten by Jia Shunwen because they had no money to buy pills and wanted to beg for a molten fire."

"Then, regardless of the danger, they sneaked into the warehouse of the pharmacy to steal, even after I caught them, they didn't run away or beg for mercy at the first time, but almost madly stuffed the molten fire that had not yet been completely refined into their mouths......" Xue Sanniang said that her voice was a little quieter, and she couldn't help frowning when she thought of the embarrassed appearance of those people at that time.

"For this reason, I also looked through the accounts of the pharmacy and found that more than half of the monthly turnover of the Xuancheng pharmacy was provided by this molten fire."

"Molten Fire Scatter is generally used for relatively serious external injuries, and it stands to reason that Heavenly Hanging City will not have such a large supply demand, so I deduce that this kind of Molten Fire Scattering addiction is probably not an isolated case in Heavenly Hanging City......

When Chu Qingxiao heard this, his face changed slightly.

Relying on addictive pills to make huge profits......

He originally thought that Tianhang Mountain had recruited a large number of outer disciples who were not talented enough, and it was already an extremely irresponsible move to earn money from this, compared to Jia Lian's method, which could already be regarded as a loss of conscience.

"And, there's one more thing that's weird." Xue Sanniang said again.

"What?" Chu Qingxiao asked.

Xue Sanniang said: "Among the raw materials for refining molten fire powder, there is a medicinal material called fire ant powder, which is a product of drying and crushing fire ants, except for refining molten fire powder, there is almost no other use, Xuancheng Pharmacy, although it earns a lot of silver money every month by melting fire powder, and the sales volume is as high as tens of thousands of pieces per month, but when I checked the account book, I found that the amount of fire ant powder purchased by the pharmacy every month far exceeded the need to refine 10,000 pieces of molten fire powder. ”

"If you really count it, the amount of fire ant powder purchased every month is enough to make 100,000 molten flames. If it is said that it is a reserve, it can be said that it is reasonable, but I have looked at the accounts for nearly half a year, and almost every month, Xuancheng Pharmacy will purchase such a large amount of fire ant powder......"

When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he could be regarded as having a good time, he looked up at Xue Sanniang and asked, "Sister Sanniang means that these addictive molten fire scatters are not only sold in Tianhang City, but there are also more molten fire scatters flowing to other realms of Great Xia through other channels?" ”

"Hmm......" Xue Sanniang nodded yes.

Hearing this, Chu Qingxiao's face suddenly changed, he thought of some terrible possibility at that time, he looked at Xue Sanniang and asked, "Sister Sanniang, can you figure out what the extra ingredients in this molten fire scatter are?" ”

Xue Sanniang responded: "I'm not good at medicine, I can't guarantee it, but I can give it a try after I go back......"

"Sister Lao Sanniang should do this as soon as possible." Chu Qingxiao said in a deep voice.

Although Xue Sanniang didn't understand why Chu Qingxiao was suddenly so concerned about this matter, out of trust in Chu Qingxiao, she didn't hesitate too much, nodded at that time, and responded: "Okay." ”

……

When the two of them returned to Tianhang City, it was already completely dark.

When I came to the gate of my yard, I saw Song Qingqing standing outside the gate of the courtyard from a distance, looking around anxiously.

With her eyesight, she naturally quickly discovered Xue Sanniang and Chu Qingxiao.

Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly beckoned to Chu Qingxiao.

Chu Qingxiao and Xue Sanniang also saw Song Qingqing's strange appearance, and secretly thought that something was wrong, the two glanced at each other, and hurriedly walked up.

Song Qingqing also greeted her, she looked really anxious, and immediately said, "You guys are back!" Fast! Go to the courtyard ......."

When Chu Qingxiao saw her appearance, he was also shocked, secretly thinking that it was Bai Hump's secret revenge, he didn't have the heart to ask more, and hurriedly walked into the hospital at that time, Xue Sanniang saw this, and quickly followed.

Just pushed the door in, but the sight made Chu Qingxiao stunned.

There was no injured person in the courtyard as Chu Qingxiao imagined, but there was an extra figure that Chu Qingxiao expected......

As soon as the man saw Chu Qingxiao, he walked up quickly, and knelt down in front of Chu Qingxiao.

"Eun Gong! Please save my Master! The man grabbed Chu Qingxiao's hand and said loudly with a crying voice.

This person is not an outsider, this is the disciple of Ganquan Peak who came to thank Chu Qingxiao a few days ago!

When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he looked at the other party and saw that Zuo Chuanxin's clothes were ragged, and there were still many wounds on the exposed skin under the tattered clothes, obviously he had experienced a big battle, and his master Tang Zhengde was nowhere to be seen.

Chu Qingxiao could probably guess that something might have happened to that Tang Zhengde.

"Brother Zuo, hurry up, what's going on? You speak slowly. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Zuo Chuanxin and asked.

Zuo Chuanxin stood up when he heard this, and then said goodbye to Chu Qingxiao that day, when he returned to the mountain gate, he was questioned by Zhou Sheng and his party, and how did they explain it, Zhou Sheng insisted that they and Chu Qingxiao jointly injured Lu Qi and Cao Lun, and then slandered Cao Lun for practicing magic skills.

The two sides exchanged words several times, and finally made a move.

But the Chengjian line has been weak all these years, how can it be the opponent of Zhou Sheng's group, several senior brothers were killed on the spot, and the rest, including Zuo Chuanxin and Tang Zhengde, were injured and captured.

During this period, everyone was coerced and lured by Zhou Sheng and his entourage, wanting them to identify Chu Qingxiao's injury to Cao Lun and Lu Qi, but Zuo Chuanxin and others were unwilling to take revenge, so they didn't let go.

And Zhou Sheng and others were determined to find an excuse to deal with Chu Qingxiao, and when they saw that everyone was unwilling to comply, they continued to torture to extract confessions.

Zuo Chuanxin witnessed several senior brothers being tortured to death.

Hearing this, Xue Sanniang, who followed into the hospital, couldn't help frowning, and said, "It's the same door anyway, this Ganquan is too much, right?" ”

Chu Qingxiao was noncommittal about this, since he came to Tianhang City, it has been common for him to kill each other for the sake of interests, but he has become accustomed to it.

He looked at Zuo Chuanxin and was about to say something, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Zuo Chuanxin's back, next to the stone pavilion in the courtyard, and a figure was lying on the wooden board.

Chu Qingxiao looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Brother Lu! ”

The one lying on the wooden board was not someone else, it was Lu Qi, who had not been seen for many days!

"He was brought by the guy, and he was unconscious, and the girl looked at it, and it seemed that he was about to die." And at this moment, the drunken Lu Sandao walked up and pointed at Zuo Chuanxin and said.

When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he was a little strange.

He had always been worried about Lu Qi's situation, but according to Zuo Chuanxin's statement, they had been imprisoned by Ganquan Peak, and it was quite incredible that they could escape, how could they still bring the unconscious Lu Qi down the mountain?

He looked at Zuo Chuanxin and asked, "Brother Zuo, how did you rescue Brother Lu together?" ”

Zuo Chuanxin's mood calmed down a lot at the moment, and he also remembered this and hurriedly explained: "It's Zhou Ling'er, Miss Zhou let me go down the mountain." ”

"She asked me to bring Senior Brother Lu too, saying that only Brother Chu could save Brother Lu!"

"And as long as Brother Lu wakes up, you can prove to Brother Chu that you are not the murderer who injured Brother Lu, so that Zhou Sheng's slander against us will also be self-defeating!"
