Chapter 28: We Delayed You
"Behind the Fierce Tiger Gang, is it really the Xu Mansion?" Wu Yuan frowned slightly.
This matter, from the very beginning, there was a hint of conspiracy, and the Fierce Tiger Gang raised the 'tribute' for no reason, and it happened to be five thousand taels?
What a coincidence.
However, Wu Yuan joined the Fierce Tiger Gang at that time, killed one after another, and after stabbing the gang leader Yang Long to death with one shot, he fought with that mysterious master, and the loss was huge, so he didn't have the energy to explore the cause and effect of this matter.
"Patriarch, is there any evidence?" Wu Yuan said softly.
"It was the second leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, 'Li Ye', who said it himself." Patriarch Wu Qiming's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "He said, if my Wu clan returns the five thousand taels of silver immediately, it will be fine." ”
"But since we don't know how to do things, let's teach us to be interesting."
"Li Ye?" Wu Yuan recalled the battle that night, and it seemed that he was a short and fat man who was stabbed to death by a flying knife of his own?
Not too impressive.
"This town guard general is too deceitful." Wu Yuan pretended to have a trace of anger on his face: "What should be done, we have done it, so forced, and let the Fierce Tiger Gang destroy our Zhuangzi?" Aren't you afraid that my Wu clan will sue the sect? ”
"Sue the sect?"
Wu Qiming shook his head slightly: "First, we have no evidence, and the big competition was carried out in full view of everyone that day; Second, in the end, Xu Yuanhan was defeated and just went to Nanmeng Martial Academy. ”
Wu Yuan listened.
"I've thought about it, though." Wu Qiming continued: "It's not like General Xu's hand, although General Xu is domineering, he has always said the same, although it can't be done, but we have done our best, with his status, there is no need to turn against us for 'five thousand taels of silver'." ”
"Even if he really wants to return five thousand taels of silver, with General Xu's character, I'm afraid he will only summon us directly and overwhelm people with power, why go around in such a big circle?" Wu Qiming shook his head in confusion.
"But few people know about this." Wu Yuan frowned: "Could it be the dean?" He wants to bring down General Xu? ”
The participants in this matter, except for the Wu family and the Xu family.
Only Zhang Da, the president of the Martial Arts Academy.
"He won't."
Wu Qiming shook his head directly: "Once the matter is exposed, the first person to be punished by the sect is the dean of the County Sect Martial Academy, and he is the first person responsible,"
Wu Yuan listened, and only felt that there was some truth.
"Could it be that the eldest prince of the Xu Mansion?" Wu Qiming suddenly remembered something: "If you think about it carefully, it's like his style." ”
"The eldest prince of the Xu Mansion?" Wu Yuan showed a hint of doubt.
"You've been in the Martial Arts Academy before, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it." Wu Qiming looked at Wu Yuan: "General Xu has six sons, except for the sixth son Xu Yuanhan, the rest are mediocre in martial arts. ”
"His eldest son, named 'Xu Yuanjie', as the son-in-law born to his wife, is very old, but he is very valued, controls a lot of resources in the Xu Mansion, and some miscellaneous matters are handled by him, and he is very famous in the upper class society of the city."
"Maybe it's because when he was young, General Xu hadn't grown up yet, so he suffered a lot, and he didn't have the bearing of a luxury family in many aspects." Wu Qiming said.
Obviously, he knows this 'Xu Yuanjie' very well.
"Clan bearing?" Wu Yuan pondered these four words.
"In short, it's miserliness." Wu Qiming lay on the bed and said slowly: "This Xu Shaojie knows the pain of the rise of the family, so he is very heavy on petty profits, reluctant to make money, and rarely has a view of the overall situation." ”
"But how can we compare with small families and small families?"
"Some things should be abandoned, even if they are distressed, they must be given up at critical moments." Wu Qiming said solemnly: "Otherwise, it will be a big loss because of a small one." ”
"Wu Yuan."
Wu Qiming looked at Wu Yuan and said with emotion: "In this regard, you actually think more thoroughly than me. ”
He remembered that Wu Yuan had directly promised General Xu to 'give up Dabi'.
It can be called a model of 'willingness'.
In Wu Qiming, he asked himself if he might not be so decisive.
"The patriarch has a reputation." Wu Yuan smiled.
Decisive? When he agreed to General Xu's request, he couldn't ask for it.
If it weren't for those five thousand taels of silver, it would be impossible for me to progress so quickly.
"According to what the patriarch said, if the Fierce Tiger Gang is behind the Xu Mansion, it is really possible that it is the handiwork of that Xu Shaojie." Wu Yuan said again: "Since he controls a lot of power in the Xu Mansion, it is naturally possible to influence the Fierce Tiger Gang. ”
The two of them said a word.
A complete thread has been sketched.
"Wu Yuan, whether it is Xu Shaojie behind the scenes or not, the culprit of this matter is the Xu Mansion." Wu Qiming looked at Wu Yuan and said solemnly: "Although the Fierce Tiger Gang has collapsed, I hope you don't forget the lives of the eight clansmen." ”
"I understand." Wu Yuan nodded.
One of the important reasons why he killed the Fierce Tiger Gang directly before and was ruthless was to see the corpses of his clansmen with his own eyes.
I didn't know about the Xu Mansion before.
Now that I understand the antecedents, revenge, I must always find an opportunity to take revenge!
"Of course, don't worry, the Xu Mansion is powerful, and it's not something we can provoke." Wu Qiming said: "I didn't want to tell you, but your Uncle Long and Uncle Dongyao said that you already have the strength of a martial artist?" ”
"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded.
"You have the strength of a martial artist now, you are only fourteen years old, it will be easy to become a first-rate master in the future, and there is hope for becoming a second-rate master or even a first-class master!" Wu Qiming looked at Wu Yuan hopefully.
"At that time, when you become a high-ranking member of the sect, it will be time for revenge."
"And now, this matter can only be known to you and me, and no one else can be told." Wu Qiming said.
"Patriarch rest assured, I know in my heart." Wu Yuan nodded: "Before I have enough strength, I won't be reckless." ”
Wu Qiming nodded.
For Wu Yuan, he is relieved, stable and abnormal.
And telling Wu Yuan about this matter was also his careful consideration, hoping to become a kind of motivation for Wu Yuan's cultivation.
"Patriarch."
Wu Yuan asked, "Just now, why did 'Meng Qiang', the leader of the guards of the county guard, come to my Wu Mansion?" It stands to reason that even if he investigates the matter of the Fierce Tiger Gang, it will not be up to him. ”
Meng Qiang is a second-rate master.
With his strong strength, the county lord and the county lieutenant dare not despise him, and the county guard will respect him extremely much.
He will not be sent unless it is important.
"Hehe, Meng Qiang is here on behalf of the county guard." Wu Qiming's face showed a hint of mockery: "He wants us to be full of witnesses, report General Xu to the sect for oppressing people with power, and let you lie in the martial arts competition." ”
"The sect will believe?" Wu Yuan frowned.
"In just over three months, the strength you have shown has gone from a beginner to a near-martial artist, the news has spread, and you have also won the first place in the junior competition of the martial arts academy." Wu Qiming said: "Even if the sect doesn't believe it very much, it won't ignore it, and it will definitely send someone to investigate, even if it can't find anything, it will make General Xu anxious." ”
"And this is probably just a plan of the county guard."
"The Fierce Tiger Gang has collapsed, and the Xu Mansion has lost an arm, and the county guard is afraid that he wants to take advantage of this situation to defeat the Xu Mansion in one fell swoop." Wu Qiming said.
Wu Yuan listened.
He doesn't know much about these schemes, but he can understand the truth.
"Did the patriarch agree?" Wu Yuan said.
"Naturally, I didn't agree." Wu Qiming shook his head and said, "Don't say that we don't have clear evidence, even if we have, what can we do?" ”
"If it is proved that General Xu manipulated the martial arts academy competition, my Wu clan is also only 'guilty of meritorious service', is it possible that there is still benefit?"
"Then Meng Qiang promised that the county guard would protect us, but to that point, whether to protect it or not is only in the county guard's thoughts."
"Besides, it's okay if you completely defeat General Xu, but what if you don't?"
"General Xu retaliates, we can't bear it."
"And if you refuse to be a county guard and don't admit it, there is a high probability that the county guard will only suspect that Dabi is fake, and will not desperately deal with us, at most he doesn't like us."
"The lesser of two phases."
"My Wu clan is small now, and neither side can afford to provoke it, wait for Wu Yuan to be strong, wait for my Wu clan to be strong, and then it's not too late to get all this back."
"Remember, Martial Academy, you haven't faked." Wu Qiming saw all this very thoroughly and told Wu Yuan in detail.
"I understand, in the big competition of the martial arts academy, my skills are not as good as others, and I lost to Liu Ruyan." Wu Yuan said.
What is in the past, let it pass.
If the case is overturned, he will cause trouble for himself.
"Your strength has entered the realm so quickly, and your talent is amazing, it was my Wu clan who delayed you, otherwise, if you joined the Yunwu Hall early, your strength would progress even more rapidly." Wu Qiming looked at Wu Yuan with regret.
"Patriarch, the clan has treated me well enough." Wu Yuan said.
"No!"
Wu Qiming shook his head: "Treat you well enough, it doesn't mean that you are really qualified, we are delaying you, I am ready to let the sixth master repair to the main sect, and the main sect will send someone to leave the city to pick you up in the near future." ”
"The main sect?" Wu Yuan was stunned.
The Wu clan left the city, which is just a branch of the Nanmeng Wu clan.
And it is a weaker branch.
"Although my Wu clan is not a big clan in Nanmeng, it is a little stronger than the 'Luo family', and when you go to Nanmeng Mansion, with the full support of the main sect, you will grow faster, and the hope of entering the Yunwu Hall next year to win the 'first place in the four mansions' will be greater." Wu Qiming looked at Wu Yuan and sighed: "Your genealogy will also go directly to the main sect." ”
"Patriarch!"
Wu Yuan frowned and said in a low voice: "I will only stay in Licheng, and my genealogy will only stay in Licheng Wu, and I will not go anywhere." ”
