Jin Chongyang is dead.

The first to learn the news was the disciple of the Huoyun Sect's Pepsi Hall who took care of the soul card, told the sect, and sent a message to the elders of the Huoyun Pavilion in Qingyangfang City to inquire.

However, Jin Chongyang died in his own cultivation room, and the stone gate was prohibited, and it could not be opened if his cultivation was not enough.

Until noon the next day, Zhou Tong from Yangquanfang City rushed to break through the stone gate and saw a pool of blood.

There were no dead bodies, and it was preliminarily determined that he died of poisoning.

After some inquiry, due to a number of assassinations in the city the day before yesterday, Jin Chongyang had more contacts with relevant affairs, and it was difficult to lock down the suspected targets.

Zhou Tong found Xia Lingyun, who had last seen the deceased.

Xia Lingyun looked confused, his heart shook, and he said hurriedly: "Senior Zhou, what do you mean?" Do you doubt me? Even if it was poisoned, with my strength, how could I poison Elder Jin in person without being discovered? ”

Zhou Daodao: "The little prince is a little restless, the old man is just asking a routine question, I don't know what the little prince is talking about when he is looking for Elder Jin?" ”

Xia Lingyun told him about the meeting with Jin Chongyang, and secretly doubted in his heart, and couldn't help but think of Zhong Yan - could it be that the other party deliberately revealed the news to himself in the 'Yifei Building' and led himself to the scene of the crime.

It's just that after thinking about it deeply, he feels that it is unlikely, how did Zhong Yan know that he would definitely go to the Golden Mansion?

But he didn't dare to say it, lest he couldn't explain it clearly, and finally said with a straight face: "What's more, I don't have a motive for committing the crime!" ”

Xia Hongdeng, the head of the Xia family on the side, said loudly: "Yes, Brother Zhou, we have always been in harmony with Elder Jin, and we have never had any contradictions, how can we reach the point of life and death?" Please also ask Brother Dao Mingjian! The Xia family is willing to help Brother Dao investigate this matter thoroughly! ”

This is where the news spreads.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Many of the forces in the city were shocked.

Especially Ding Yin and Yang Yanqing, who participated in the plot of the Liu family and knew a lot of details, knew that the Zhong Mansion had been acting as a demon for a while recently.

However, Jin Chongyang was completely out of the plan, and both of them couldn't help muttering to themselves: Wouldn't he have done it?

There was no trace to be found, and Zhou Tong could only find people who had been in close contact with Jin Chongyang recently for routine interrogation.

Naturally, Zhongfu is indispensable.

Zhong Yan was calm and calm, and said the details of the bribery request Jin Chongyang's 'open side', but did not mention the matter of the 'written evidence', anyway, there were only two parties at that time, and outsiders had no way of knowing.

Zhou Tong left, and a group of family members surrounded him.

Yu Qingyao: "Husband, who will it be?" Could it be that there is a powerful evil cultivator in the city? ”

Yuan Ziyi, who didn't know what had happened from beginning to end, couldn't have imagined that Jin Chongyang died because of her, and then said suspiciously: "Elder Jin built the seventh layer of the foundation, and I don't know what kind of poison it is, but he can poison it quickly, and he can't even ask for help." ”

Zhong Yan smiled indifferently: "Who knows, whatever!" ”

For him, it was just a vignette.

The only one who can understand some of the truth is Zhong Xiaozhong.

Because he came back from the 'Yifei Building' and asked Zhong Xiaozhong for 'poison', Fuzhong had collected as many as 100 kinds of poisons from the black market in Udon Town over the years.

"Blood spells, really domineering!"

Zhong Yan rubbed and sighed secretly.

During the Great War of Wei, the Huoyun Sect was also unstable, and in an eventful time, Zhou Tong only investigated the case for five days before shelving it and returning to Yangquanfang City.

Qingyangfang City is temporarily guarded by another fifth-story shopkeeper of Huoyun Pavilion.

Jiang Huan turned into a phantom again, assassinated in the dark of night, and the death guard cooperated with various rumors.

As a result, Qingyangfang City and even the entire Qingyang City became more and more chaotic, and many monks were in a panic.

What made Zhong Yan complain was that there were really people who took advantage of the chaos to rob and do things of raiding, killing and looting wealth - people who were not on Jianghuan's hunting list also fell one after another.

Among them are mortals, who make Xia Xinzhu, who has the world in his heart, anxious, and personally leads patrols from time to time to strengthen the security work in the city.

The Xia family, the Xu family, the Keqing Mansion and other forces couldn't bear it, held high the 'banner of rules and righteousness', and directly suppressed the Liu family on the surface, causing the Liu family's various shops to be disrupted from time to time, and the business plummeted.

And the deterrence of the new town guarding the road is not enough, and it can't hold down the field at all.

Until a son of the Xia family was assassinated and fell, it was identified as the Liu family's counterattack, and the contradiction reached a new height, and there was almost a tendency to fight.

The Liu family had no choice but to close the restaurant and inn first.

And Zhong Fu, the culprit who first hoarded elixir, 'knew that he was at a loss', so he kept a low profile and arranged a large number of combat forces to be stationed in the store.

Half a month later.

Yuan Ziyi led three guests to squat fifty miles outside the city for four days, and successfully intercepted and killed the Liu family's escort team.

As expected, there were five people in total, three refining qi, and two building foundations, one more than expected, and there was one more second-layer guest who built the foundation, and there was no way to fight back.

At night, Liu Zhenbei quietly came to Zhongfu to explain the situation.

There was also Liu Tianming, the old man of the Liu family, who built the third floor.

This person Zhong Yan met when he did not leave the sect in his early years, he was originally the head of the Liu family, and later abdicated to become the patriarch, and the head of the family was replaced by Liu Zhilong, who was intercepted and killed by Li Henian, Yang Yanqing, and Qin Ben.

Zhong Yan didn't give face at all, his face was ugly, and he said in a cold voice: "Now that the Fang City is so chaotic, I have reminded me many times, why don't you send more people to escort you?!" ”

Liu Zhenbei said that he had a hard time, why didn't he send more factions, and invited one more foundation to come out, and the family really couldn't draw more combat power.

Liu Tianming's face was hidden in the mist, and Yuan Ziyi, whose breath was stronger than his own, glanced at it, guessed that it was Qifeng Yuan Zhiqing, pursed his lips and said: "This matter is the fault of my Liu family, so according to what Zhong Daoyou said, Caozhentang will give it to you." ”

"What do I want you to do!"

Zhong Yan looked a little angry, "I promised Jingcheng over there, how can I deal with it now?" There are still a few days left, you can find a way to help me get another batch of elixirs! ”

Liu Zhenbei was puzzled: "Brother Zhong Dao, you have purchased a large number of times before and after, even the Five Elements Sect can't get it together, where will you get it for a while." ”

Zhong Yan: "I don't care about this!" ”

Liu Tianming pondered for a moment and said, "Zhong Daoyou, the Liu family can give you the shops in Qingyangfang City." ”

Zhong Yan, who was cheap and obedient, said with a smile: "Now the Liu family's shops can't open for business normally, and they have become a hot potato, give it to me, Liu Daoyou is really a good plan!" ”

The messy Liu family gave up the Qingyang market, and it became inevitable to shrink their strength and look back.

Liu Zhenbei muttered to himself that it was not only his Liu family that violated the rules and destroyed the market, but only the Liu family was suppressed and became the target of public criticism.

But then again, the Liu family is the link, trading with the Zhong, Yang, and Ding families, but they can't complain about others, in the final analysis, the strength and background are not strong enough, and the persimmon picks up the soft pinch.

Liu Tianming said to Shiyou: "Zhongfu wants to take root in Qingyang, two shops are far from enough, why not take this opportunity to control a few more?" As for the herbs......"

He glanced at Yuan Ziyi and continued: "Daoist friends ask Qifeng to come forward and be accommodating, when it can be solved, four shops, half price, how about it?" This matter is considered a favor owed by the Liu family to Daoyou, and you and I will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”

Zhong Yan looked thoughtful, half price, naturally it was just a shop, not including the materials and goods inside.

The Liu family has five shops in Qingyang, and the other should be planned to be recycled to Fang City.

After a long time, Zhong Yan sighed: "That's it, but I can't get that much money on hand for a while." ”

Liu Tianming smiled: "This is easy to say. ”

The two parties signed the agreement on the spot to complete the transfer and delivery.

In addition to the deposit of 10,000 spirit stones of the original herb, Zhong Yan only gave an extra 20,000 spirit stones worth of spirit beads as a deposit, which was beautiful.

A few days later.

The shops of the Liu family were closed in turn, and the spiritual material shops were returned to Fang City, and the news spread, and all forces came to the door to find the agent to guard He Xingdao, wanting to bid for the money.

A detailed question, there is only one room, speculation continues, He Xingdao said that he is not clear.

Zhong Yan is not in a hurry, he has no plans to open for the time being, and is busy preparing for the wedding banquet.

On this day, Zhong Xiaozhong came.

"Master, Shang Wen's family letter! Urgent letter! ”

"Oh?"

Zhong Yan received two letters, one for his mother Qiu Jinxi, and the other for 'Uncle Qi'.

Open the second envelope and take a look.

As mentioned earlier, Li Shangwen has become the No. 2 military division under Qin Ben's account, and has made many meritorious contributions, which is quite important, and the battle situation of Qin Ben's army is clear, and everything is fine......

The last thing mentioned made Zhong Yan's eyes shine.

Qin Ben was attacked and was infiltrated into the camp by a foundation building monk and assassinated at close range.

As a result, the two stood in the air from the ground, and the assassin was killed by Qin Ben on the spot!

Warriors take to the skies!

Martial Arts Grandmaster!

Qin Ben has broken into the Grandmaster Realm!
