Bai Jilong was silent for a long time, and it seemed that he still didn't want to answer Shi Cheng's question.

Seeing this, Shi Cheng said, "Does the old master of the Bai family want to delay time and wait for the people of the Bai Mansion to invite foreign aid from outside the mansion?" I'm telling you, you don't have to have that illusion. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Cheng turned his head to look at Wu Neng, and then continued to say to Bai Jilong: "Wu Daoyou knows how to scatter beans into soldiers, we have already laid an ambush around Baifu before sneaking into Baifu, if you don't believe it, we can take a gamble and see if your Bai family's people can call people before dawn." ”

Bai Jilong and Shi Cheng looked at each other for a while, and finally shook their heads helplessly. He sat down on the bed in a gloomy manner, and the old man, who had been in good spirits, was now like a dead tree about to decay.

Bai Jilong waved his hand, repelled the henchmen guards brought in by Bai Gui, and ordered them to wait downstairs.

After doing all this, Bai Jilong said to Shi Cheng: "The matter of transporting the corpse is actually not the old man's intention. The old man is deeply trapped in this situation, and he really can't help himself! ”

Shi Cheng was unmoved, he was waiting for Bai Jilong's next words.

Bai Jilong's eyes were stunned, as if he was in deep thought, and said, "The first time I was found by those people was almost four years ago. That day, an outsider suddenly came to Redwood City and sent me a letter asking to meet me by name. ”

Shi Cheng suddenly interjected: "That person...... It can't be the Wei Yuan of the Renxin Pavilion, right? ”

A look of surprise appeared on Bai Jilong's face, and he said, "It is this person, how did Shi Xiaoyou know about this?" ”

Shi Cheng replied: "Wei Yuan is a first-class pharmacist, and he is one step away from becoming a true Dan master. Although such a person is nothing in the big cities of the East and West Continents, a small city in the southern wilderness can't hold such a great god. According to Wei Yuan's insight and ability, he would be co-opted by many forces in the royal city of the Western Desert Kingdom, but the strange thing was that he was willing to run into Redwood City, a lonely sandbar city facing the sea, and he was willing to stay for four years, which was really unreasonable. In addition, the old master of the Bai family, you just mentioned that you were found by those people four years ago, and according to my investigation, Wei Yuan happened to come here four years ago, so I guessed that the person who connected you with that force back then may be Wei Yuan. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Cheng paused for a moment and said, "Now you don't have to worry about Wei Yuan, just now when he entered your Bai family's treasury, he happened to bump into me who sneaked in, and when he saw that he was defeated, he took poison and committed suicide." ”

When Bai Jilong heard that Wei Yuan was dead, his expression was complicated, he was silent for a moment, nodded, and continued: "Shi Xiaoyou's expectation is good, it was Wei Yuan who found me at that time. After all, he is a pharmacist from Wangcheng, and it is really inappropriate for me not to meet him in person. Then I met with him, and the first thing he said was asking me to carry some special goods for his employer. ”

When Wu Neng heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that those goods are?" ”

Bai Jilong sighed and replied, "It's the corpses that were dug up from the grave. ”

After speaking, Bai Jilong looked at Bai Xuan, whose face had turned pale, and said to Shi Cheng: "I don't know if you people in the Northern West Land have any different opinions on the remains of the deceased, but after all, our Bai family is a people under the education of the Holy Venerable, and this kind of thing that disturbs the deceased will be scolded by thousands of people and trampled on by thousands of people." I also sternly rejected the matter at first, but that Wei Yuan threatened me that if the Bai family did not obey, he would have a way to make my Bai family ruined. ”

"At first, I thought that this was just his words, although my Bai family is not a big family, but the heritage of operating in this Redwood City for hundreds of years is not something that Wei Yuan can underestimate. But I didn't expect that in the end, I underestimated Wei Yuan. ”

Bai Jilong sighed bitterly at his grandson and granddaughter, and said, "Just seven days after rejecting Wei Yuan's request, my Bai family's business partners offered to terminate their cooperation with us, and I asked them why they did this, but none of them were willing to make it clear to me. Later, many caravans of unknown origin suddenly appeared in Redwood City to occupy the Bai family's business, and the Bai family's subordinates who went out on errands were attacked and killed outside the city, and he also received a threatening letter during Qingming......"

"Alas...... In desperation, I had to take the initiative to find Wei Yuan and agree to his request. Whenever our Bai family's caravans returned from neighboring counties, they would receive their 'goods' in some pre-agreed secret places before transporting them back to the city. In order to keep it secret, every time I would strictly order the caravan members not to open the package and check the goods without permission, and those people behind Wei Yuan would also send people to spy on them all the way to prevent someone from privately opening the package and finding the corpses. The people under my command have no objection to these, in their opinion, our Bai family is at most secretly helping people smuggle, this kind of thing is still very common in the Southern Wilderness. ”

"These things have been done so peacefully for half a year ago. During this period of time, those people connected my Bai family and got to know a lot of big customers in Wangcheng, and my Bai family's business became bigger and bigger. Although the old man knew in his heart that they just hoped that my Bai family's caravan could be stronger, so that they could transfer more corpses, but the interests came first, the old man was blindfolded after all, and the dissatisfaction in his heart when he cooperated at the beginning became less and less. ”

"In the beginning, the corpses brought into the city were usually thirty or forty a month. But in the past six months, I don't know why, the people behind Wei Yuan have an increasing demand for corpses, and the corpses we transported in every month once reached more than 100 per month. My heart is also getting more and more frightened, because with the increasing number of corpses brought in, the possibility of this matter being exposed is increasing, if the matter is revealed, our Bai family will be ruined in this city, and the force behind Wei Yuan will not let my Bai family go. It's okay if the old man is dead, but Qingming and Xuan'er are still young! ”

Speaking of this, Bai Jilong's eyes were already red, he calmed down and said, "Sure enough, half a month ago, our stealing of the corpse in the warehouse was discovered by a subordinate named Bai Chun. I had no choice but to kill this unlucky bastard, on the surface, I didn't mention this matter and covered up the news, but secretly I said that Bai Chun was killed by a ghost, and directed and acted in this haunted case, so as to scare away a large number of people. They also provided me with a special medicine that would make me look exactly like I had been evil. That's how I dressed myself up as a victim and went behind the scenes to control everything. ”

"In addition, I also know that Wei Yuan has always coveted the remains of the ancestors in the tomb of my Bai family's ancestors, so I let them enter the ancestors' tombs to loot, so as to dispel the government's suspicions about us."

"I thought that those thieves wouldn't be too presumptuous with our Bai family, at most they would move away a few corpses of their clansmen and pretend to stop. But I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect them to move the body of the ancestor Bai Fengzhong away! Speaking of this, Bai Jilong burst into tears, gritted his teeth and said: "The only thing that makes me happy is that those thieves don't know that there is a powerful magic circle in the main hall of the ancestral tomb, and they didn't have time to guard against it, as if they had broken several people inside, and when they came out, they were also gray." ”

"I see," Shi Cheng thought to himself, "The three corpses in the main hall are really related to those people. ”

When Bai Xuan heard this, tears were also rolling in her eyes, and she said, "Grandpa, so many things have happened at home, why don't I know at all?" ”

"Xuan'er," Bai Jilong sighed helplessly: "Knowing this, is there any benefit to a girl of your age?" ”

After saying this, Bai Jilong turned his head to look at Shi Cheng and said, "Shi Xiaoyou, this is the ins and outs of my Bai family's affairs. Now, what are you going to do? ”

"I have something to ask you." Shi Cheng said: "How much do you know about Wei Yuan and the force behind him. ”

Bai Jilong shook his head and said, "I only know that they are a mysterious organization with huge energy to the point of horror, and having dealt with them so much, my impression of them is that they are simply everywhere. I'm only in charge of transporting the bodies for them, and as for the rest, they won't say a word to me. ”

Shi Cheng asked again, "Where have these corpses been transported?" Do you know what they want these bodies for? ”

"All I know is that these bodies were transported to some small ports in Lingnan County and Fengyu Prefecture in the Great Wei Dynasty, especially Lingnan Port in Lingnan County." Bai Jilong replied: "As for what they want these corpses to do, I don't know. ”

After saying this, Shi Cheng and Bai Jilong looked at each other speechlessly, and the silence in the room was terrifying for a while. Bai Gui, Bai Qingming, and Bai Xuan all stared at Shi Cheng nervously, and even Wu Neng didn't dare to take a breath because of the atmosphere oppressed by this quiet.

After a long while, Shi Chengcai said word by word: "I want the old master of the Bai family to give up cooperation with those people and never participate in this matter again, I don't know if you can do it?" ”

Bai Jilong laughed miserably twice and said, "I believe that Shi Xiaoyou must know much more about those people than the old man, then you should also know what will happen to those who betray them." ”

Shi Cheng nodded, slowly pulled out the branch pinned to his waist, and said, "If the old master of the Bai family doesn't want to die at their hands, then it's better to let Shi do it for you." I'm not going to let another corpse get out of this Redwood City, so, I'm sorry. ”

Bai Qingming and Bai Xuan both had a big change in their faces. Bai Gui pointed at Shi Cheng and said angrily: "Thief! How are you staying?! ”

Wu Neng also persuaded: "Shi Cheng, you don't have to do this step. ”

Shi Cheng was unmoved, looked directly at Bai Jilong and said, "The old master of the Bai family is a person who has personally experienced the rebellion of the Lu clan that lasted for nine years. You should also know that when the Lu clan was at its most arrogant, it is no exaggeration to say that every inch of land under this sky was soaked in blood. If I tell you that the purpose of that mysterious organization is to let Na Lu return to the world, I wonder how you will choose, the old master of the white family? ”
