Chapter 35: Red Lotus Lord, the Mo Family's Reaction [Seeking to Follow]
"Lord Red Lotus, let's just leave Bei'an City?"
"Didn't the Chen family agree to cooperate with us before?"
Outside Xiangma Town, which is more than 1,000 miles away from the Bei'an County Government, in a traveling merchant station, several men with gloomy eyes are surrounded by a petite girl with red earrings.
It is located in the south of Bei'an City, is an important commercial town, there are many caravans and passers-by, it belongs to a must pass on the straight road of the southern official road, and it can reach Nanhu Prefecture adjacent to Tianyun Prefecture for thousands of miles to the south.
A normal caravan would take at least a month or two to travel, but if you ride a heterogeneous fast horse that travels thousands of miles a day, it will only take a few days to arrive.
The territory of the Great Jin Dynasty is already vast, so it has been able to reproduce so many people over the years, and then there is a foundation for the erosion of troubled times.
In front of the girl, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman was bowing down and asked cautiously.
"Humph!"
I saw that the girl snorted coldly with a proud expression.
There was a vicious expression on the delicate and charming face.
"Nankaiwu is already on his way to his post."
"There's no need for the Cult of God to fight with them."
"This is an order from the Lotus Heart Holy Maiden herself."
After hearing her say this, the middle-aged man hurriedly saluted.
"Little one got it!"
"It's just a pity that the foundation of Bei'an County Government has just arrived!"
He was one of the stewards in charge of the property in the Pure Lotus Sect, and he was quite concerned about the evacuation.
"Rat-eyed."
"Nanhu Prefecture continues to the south to Tengling Prefecture."
"The eight local Tusi have joined forces to capture the state capital, calling themselves the Xingling Dazhai Heavenly Army, which is also the sixth chaotic army in the Great Jin Dynasty in addition to those state pastors who support their own troops!"
"The Holy Maiden has reached an agreement with the eight Tusi, the destination of our trip is there, the days of Tianyun Prefecture alone will not last, and the seeds of faith in Bei'an City will have a chance to sprout again in the future!"
"You don't have to worry about this matter, Manager Li, you still concentrate on taking care of the expenses on the road, and you will be busy in the future."
After saying that, the Red Lotus Lord waved his hand impatiently, motioning for the middle-aged man to go away.
The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to bother any more.
Then she led the strong men into the makeshift tent.
"Lord Lotus, I just received an urgent report from the Flying Harrier today."
One of the strong men took out a scroll of paper from his waist and respectfully handed it to the girl.
After a while, she finished reading the contents, rubbed her fingers casually, and the paper roll in her hand burned on the spot.
The Red Lotus Lord's slender eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes gradually became deeper.
"I didn't expect that as soon as the front foot left, someone in Bei'an City on the back foot made the Divine Sect carry a black cauldron."
"But it doesn't matter, it's only a matter of time before you return to Tianyun Prefecture."
"This world seems to be vast, but in fact it is just a cage."
"The Absolute Spirit Territory is coming from here, and the Great Tribulation of the Thousand Years of Reincarnation is coming!"
"The true realm demons that have descended from the Black Star will also awaken one after another."
"For example, the one in Bei'ancheng... Hmmm......"
"The Divine Cult has been dormant for thousands of years, and the preparations made by several calamities and reincarnations are all here, if you can obtain the Dragon Soul True Soul of Tianyuan Taishi Mountain and Diyuan Absolute Pillar Mountain in one fell swoop, then the Divine Cult will break through the Absolute Spirit Territory and go to the legendary True Domain Heaven and Earth just around the corner."
She thought to herself.
As one of the twelve lotus masters in the Pure Lotus Sect, his status is above the altar masters of various places, nominally second only to the Holy Maiden and the sect leader, and he is considered a high-ranking person in the sect.
With such a status, it is natural to know some secrets.
This Pure Lotus Sect has thousands of years of inheritance, eroding through several generations of dynasties, and at this time it is only the tip of the iceberg, and the forces under its command are dormant everywhere, adapting to the current situation in various places, and fueling the development of believers.
Therefore, the Pure Lotus Sect mostly came into contact with the local rebel army, the thief party, the state pastor and the wealthy clan who declared their independence, and never mixed with the nominal imperial court.
But when there is a large-scale conflict, they will also choose to avoid the edge, because some of the time is not yet ripe.
……
Bei'an County Mansion, in the hall of the Yulan Mansion, the main residence of the Mo family in the inner city.
Mo Zhengyou sat on the first seat with a blue face.
The invincible Mo Gongzi was kneeling in front of him with his head down.
The black-clothed and long-bearded "Uncle Xu" bowed deeply.
"Rebel!"
"Just because of your willfulness and domineering, my Mo family has suffered heavy losses!"
"In order to support the Sanshui Gang, the family has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and now all of them have come to naught!"
Mo Zhengyou was so angry that the two whiskers on his lips were trembling.
The top leaders of the Sanshui Gang were all wiped out, the gang trees were scattered, and the various hall masters stood on their own and turned into several scattered small gangs again.
This ruined the layout of the Mo family in the eastern walled area of the city.
The eight wealthy families in the inner city, the Chen family was originally the strongest, but they had left the city to build a fort.
The remaining seven families have their own industries, the Mo family first relied on human trafficking, that is, when people earn the first pot of gold, and later carried out a series of whitewashing, and now operates several cruise ship painting workshops and many wine shops in the city.
In the past few months, the Mo family has gathered a large area of fertile land in the suburbs, and there is a great attempt to prepare to reclaim grain, and now without the Sanshui Gang, they have to support a force outside the city again, otherwise they will not be able to hold these fields at all.
"Daddy..."
Mo He opened his mouth tremblingly, he understood that his father was really angry this time.
"Shut up!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mo Zhengyou.
The situation in front of me is like a mess!
The five high-level players of the Sanshui Gang and the night patrol team died tragically in the alley at the same time.
Everyone's death situation is very complicated, in addition to the red scorpion poison powder provided by Mo He, there are also black water toad poison, lotus darts, strength into the body, etc.
Moreover, there were seven people in the alley, and six people died, and only Zong Xian, who was Mo He, survived.
To say that this matter has nothing to do with him, Mo Zhengyou absolutely does not believe it.
However, combined with the situation at the scene, no one can figure out what happened that night!
Those in the know speculated that there was a third party who took action, but it was impossible to confirm which force it was, and the lotus darts scattered on the ground were more like a means of confusion, and the complex injuries of the deceased made it difficult to trace everything.
Although Zong Xian was suspicious, he couldn't find a clear motive.
Moreover, he himself was seriously injured, and when he conducted an examination that night, it was also determined that he had not yet completed the bone forging, and because his body was in a disorder of qi and blood at that time, the degree of qi and blood could not be determined, so that he could already rule out eighty or ninety percent of his suspicions.
As for the red scorpion poison powder and the black water toad poison poison, there are more than a dozen possible sources in the city, not including those traveling merchants from all over the world, so they cannot be used as clues to trace.
Therefore, it is difficult for the current hunters in the inner city to find the real murderer, and they all pin their hopes on Zong Xian to inform the situation at the time after he wakes up, so as to deduce the identity of the murderer.
Only the Mo family knew why the high-level leaders of the Sanshui Gang appeared in Xigou Lane that night, but this matter must not be publicized.
This made Mo Zhengyou as uncomfortable as eating a dead fly!
