Chapter 220: Acquaintances
Qiao Heng's third brother, who had half failed in his wishful thinking, could only watch Qiao Heng's two guards, facing the faces of his guards, to send posts to his other three righteous brothers.
He didn't get the chance to manipulate the post, nor did he take the opportunity to send his guards or servants out to deliver the news, and at this moment, he could only hope that his father-in-law, and his three brothers-in-law, were smart and alert enough.
If they were smart enough and alert enough, they might be able to detect something unusual in the clues and realize that something might be wrong with him.
What he didn't know was that his stepfather couldn't take care of him at this time.
In order to ensure his absolute safety, his stepfather was busy dispatching troops at this time, and let people surround his city lord's mansion into an airtight solid iron bucket.
His manpower is all used to ensure his own safety, and Wu Shixian can't take care of such a trivial matter as whether the righteous sons are visiting each other.
As for Qiao Heng's other three righteous brothers who didn't go out of the city, there was indeed no shortage of smart people among them.
For example, Qiao Heng's eighth-ranked righteous brother, the other party wisely chose to stay closed in this special period of rumors and strange situations.
Although he made such a decision, and it had a lot to do with the fact that he was weak and did not dare to get involved in any whirlpool, his wisdom and decisiveness were evident in his ability to risk annoying his third brother and decisively refusing to leave his base camp at this time.
He didn't come, but Qiao Heng's other two righteous brothers came. However, they were also very vigilant, and when they came, they all brought a large number of guards with them.
However, Zhen Xiaomei and the others, who had already cleaned up Bi Qiaoheng's third brother's entire mansion, would they be afraid that they would bring more people?
They had already seized the time to lay out a composite formation composed of maze formation, trapped formation, and killing formation inside and outside Qiao Heng's third brother's mansion.
As long as those people stepped into Qiao Heng's third brother's house, then they would be equivalent to stepping into the formation laid out by Zhen Xiaomei and the others in advance.
Not to mention turning around and going out again, they have to have a certain amount of strength or luck even if they want to stay in it with all their beards and tails.
"I'll leave them to you, and when they're all cleaned up, you will stay in this house, and don't run any further." When Qiao Heng and his third brother tricked all the people who came to the appointment into the house, Zhen Xiaomei handed over the house and Qiao Heng's third brother to Liang Wenxuan and the others.
As for Qiao Heng, he had to continue to take Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao out to swagger and deceive. And this time, the object they want to deceive is Wu Shixian, the lord of Ganzhou.
Qiao Heng had already asked people to arrange the formation outside Wu Shixian's mansion, but just in case, Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao still went around the circle and checked the placement of those array plates and formation flags separately before entering.
After confirming that there was no problem with the formation, the two of them raised their feet and went straight to the main gate of the Ganzhou City Lord's Mansion.
When they checked the formation, Qiao Heng had already come to the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion and asked to meet Wu Shixian, but when Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao came over after checking the formation, he was still standing on the side of the gate with a straight posture, quietly waiting for the porter who had entered to pass the word to come back.
The speed of this back and forth is obviously slow, which is obviously deliberately snubbing Qiao Heng, a pitiful little who is not valued by Wu Shixian.
Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao glanced at each other, and they both felt that Qiao Heng, the so-called "righteous son", was really aggrieved, but Qiao Heng had long been accustomed to the people in Wu Shixian's mansion, as well as Wu Shixian's other righteous sons, and even Wu Shixian's other righteous sons' henchmen and subordinates all kinds of contempt for him and his starling brother.
He waited for a long time with his eyebrows lowered and lowered his eyes, and the expression on his face did not change.
Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao didn't plan to accompany him to play here and "wait for the summons", and he Wu Shixian was not qualified to let them honestly wait for the summons in front of his mansion.
Thinking so, Zhen Xiaomei raised her foot and was about to go straight inside, but Yun Zhao grabbed one of Zhen Xiaomei's arms at the moment when she raised her foot.
Zhen Xiaomei was pulled by Yun Zhao and turned around in place, she was a little puzzled.
"It's Han Wentao, it's him who killed all of Jing Xuan's relatives!"
As soon as Yun Zhao said this, Zhen Xiaomei's eyes suddenly became sharp.
The Jing Xuan in his mouth is Yun Jingxuan, the nephew of Master Yun Zhao, Wei Lan's adopted son and eldest apprentice, and their family was plotted by their relatives because of their rich family resources, and the so-called "own relatives" who plotted against their family and tried to slaughter their Yun family were Yun Jingxuan's own uncle Han Wentao.
Han Wentao is a native of Wenzhou, a friend of Yun Jingxuan's father for many years, and the brother of Yun Jingxuan's mother.
is both a close friend and a close relative, Yun Jingxuan's father and mother can be said to be completely defenseless against him. However, their unreserved trust eventually became the biggest help for the other party to kill their family.
Han Wentao has been planning for many years and boasts that he is foolproof, but unexpectedly, when things progressed to the last moment, he never found his nephew, that is, Yun Jingxuan, who was still young at the time.
Yun Jingxuan was first hidden by his own family, and then was rescued in time by Wei Lan, who got the news, and became Wei Lan's adopted son and apprentice.
Han Wentao couldn't find Yun Jingxuan anywhere, and the plan to destroy the door was a complete failure, he was worried that after the news leaked, he would be retaliated against by Yun Zhao's master, that is, Yun Jingxuan's grandfather's own brother, so he immediately made a decision and left Wenzhou in a hurry with his family and went to settle in other places.
It is worth mentioning that his family members who were taken away by him were only his own wives and concubines and children, not including his father, who was already sick at the time, and his stepmother, who was not much older than him, and his younger brothers and sisters from his stepmother.
These people didn't know anything about the evil things he had done, and naturally they didn't expect that he would take away most of the family's wealth and slip away when his father was dying.
When Wei Lan and Yun Zhao looked for it, Han Wentao's seriously ill father happened to inadvertently catch the bad news that his eldest son's family had absconded with the money from the panicked conversation of other children.
Wei Lan and Yun Zhao, who came one step late, didn't know whether to evaluate him for dying early, or for his clever death.
After all, if he hadn't been angry with his unfilial son's behavior of absconding with money and leaving his seriously ill father, he would probably be angry to death by his son's brutal murder of his sister's family.
