Chapter 49: The Three Secular Institutions
Chuanjiang Castle.
The original Wanfu Mansion was located at this time, and it was already a charred and black ruin.
One after another, the scorching corpses were carried out and placed in a short distance outside the courtyard, covered with white cloths.
A large crowd of onlookers watched this tragic scene from afar and talked about it.
"Half a month ago, this Wanfu was still a dignitary in the city, and in a blink of an eye, the leader of the Wangang was killed, and Wanfu was reduced to the point where it is now destroyed."
"The two sons of Wanfu are in this pile of corpses, and the Wan family has been completely wiped out, and it is said that the only one who escaped was Mrs. Wan who didn't know where she was."
"You say, could it be that Da Luo Zong did it?"
"I heard that the Ten Thousand Gang Leader was killed, because he robbed and killed the Hongyan Mine before he was found out, and killed three guards of the Great Luo Sect."
"It may be that Da Luozong felt that just killing the Wan Gang Leader was not enough to vent his anger, so he wiped out the Wan Mansion and deterred people with bad intentions."
"That's not for sure."
"I don't think it's necessarily, there are more enemies in Wanfu, there were ten thousand gang leaders in the past, naturally nothing happened, once the ten thousand gang leaders died, naturally no one would take Wanfu in their eyes, and Wanfu would naturally not escape."
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, and a figure appeared as if out of thin air, standing quietly in the field.
This terrifying speed shocked many people.
One of the middle-aged men with a fierce face clasped his hands into fists and said politely:
"Huo Gaofei, the chief catcher in Xiachuan Jiangcheng, Your Excellency is Jiang Gongzi of Da Luozong, right?"
Jiang Heng also returned the salute with a fist: "My name is Jiang Heng, a disciple of the outer sect of the Great Luo Sect." ”
He looked at the scene and asked with a solemn expression:
"Huo Zhutou, what the hell is going on? Did my brother die here too? ”
Huo Gaofei led him to one of the corpses, and lifted the white cloth, revealing the charred corpse inside.
"On this corpse, we found the identity card of your sect's inner disciple."
Jiang Heng squatted down, took the identity card, and looked at the corpse again.
"That's right, this is my junior brother."
"Who is the murderer? Did you find any clues? ”
Huo Gaofei took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone:
"The case happened in the early morning, but because it was too dark to clean up the scene, the investigation began early in the morning."
"At present, everyone, including this inner disciple of your sect, was cut by a sword, and then they were set on fire."
"The murderer must be a top powerhouse."
"The others are still being searched, and there are no clues pointing to the murderer for the time being."
At this time, Jiang Heng noticed that Mi Wenjie's left hand was clenched, as if he was grasping something very small.
He barely broke Mi Wenjie's hand, and sure enough, he found a small triangular blue rag in the palm of his hand.
On one side is a neat cutout, and on the other two sides, there is a very fine gold edging.
"What is this?"
Huo Gaofei noticed Jiang Heng's movements and leaned over to take a look.
"A rag, most likely cut from the murderer."
Huo Gaofei took the rag and twisted it with his hand.
"Looking at the shape, it should be the corner of the clothes, but the material of this fabric is very unusual."
"By the way, your junior brother is a True Qi Realm cultivator?"
"That's right."
Huo Gaofei pondered for a moment.
"When we found your junior brother, his knife was already out of its sheath, and he was obviously on guard."
"To be able to instantly kill a piece of the guarded True Qi Realm, but was cut off by your junior brother, the murderer should be a strong person in the Innate Realm, a stronger person, even if he is careless, it is impossible for him to touch the corner of his clothes."
"The ...... of the strong people in the innate realm"
Jiang Heng took a deep breath.
He promised the Wan gang master to protect his relatives, but now, Wanfu has been destroyed.
Mi Wenjie was arranged by him to protect Wanfu again, and he was also killed in this case of destroying the door.
Although there was not much contact during the mission, Mi Wenjie has always been extremely cooperative with his arrangement, which made him quite satisfied.
And now, the other party can be regarded as dying because of his arrangement.
This made him feel a little guilty in his heart.
"Don't worry! Senior Brother Mi, I will avenge you! ”
Jiang Heng stood up.
"Huo Zhutou, in this case, I, Da Luozong, will be involved and follow up at any time."
He looked at Huo Gaofei with a decisive look in his eyes.
"This is natural, among the dead are the disciples of your sect, and if there is any progress, it will definitely be shared with your sect as soon as possible."
To a certain extent, the sect has a certain degree of autonomy, as long as it involves the case of the sect, the sect can deal with it on its own, such as the previous convoy robbery and murder case, the life and death of the ten thousand gang leaders are freely handled by the Great Luo Sect.
Once a large number of civilian deaths are involved, it is mainly dealt with by the imperial court.
Therefore, the Wanfu extermination case was naturally handled by the imperial court department.
After the two continued to talk for a while, Jiang Heng turned around and left.
He knew that he was not professional in investigating the case, so he could only wait for the results of Huo Zhutou's investigation.
After leaving the Wanfu Ruins, Jiang Heng did not immediately return to the mine, but went to the Wanhe Shangmeng in Chuanjiang City, ready to buy some Qi and Blood Pills.
In fact, the cultivation material of the Qi and Blood Pill is not exclusive to the Great Luo Sect, or even refined by the Great Luo Sect, but is purchased in large quantities from the Wanhe Business Alliance.
In this world, there is a clear division of levels in sects.
Elementary sects, intermediate sects, advanced sects, top sects.
All sects are under the jurisdiction of the Holy Land, and every five years they are united and re-evaluated.
The difference between different levels is not only fame, but also various substantive benefits.
One of them is the purchase discount of Wanhe Business Alliance.
The higher the sect level, the greater the discount.
In terms of the consumption of various materials in the entire sect for five years, each level of the sect represents a massive interest gap.
In the Tibetan scripture hall of the Great Luo Sect, among the books that Jiang Heng has read, there is a sect system that introduces this world.
While opening his eyes, he also had a conjecture in his heart that with such a powerful strength of the Great Luo Sect, he could only act honestly according to the rules under the suppression of the Holy Land.
And the holy land high above is only a corner of the peace.
In the books, there is not even any record of the great battle between the Holy Lands.
All this seems to show that there is a more powerful force, at a higher level, secretly controlling the balance of the entire world.
It's like the Holy Land secretly controlling the order within the Imperial Dynasty.
Level after level, constituting this world where martial arts are respected but orderly.
However.
In this world, there are three secular institutions, but they span many dynasties, which are equivalent to official forces, and are respected by any power.
That is: Wantong Money Village, Wanhe Business Alliance, and a mysterious Qianshan Tower.
Obviously, these three secular institutions are also powerful forces above the Holy Land.
