Chapter 823: Wronged
Ouyang Feng took the storage bracelet, probed his divine sense into it and counted it, and said in surprise: "There are so many, all of them are gold coins, not a single silver coin, how can you get change?"
Angelo rolled her eyes and said proudly, " The wages of our Qingyuan Guild are not in vain in the first place in the industry, and those workers on Qingyuan Island are all abandoning their families and businesses to stay on the island, and they can only go back once a month, and the wages will naturally be more, so let's put it this way, ordinary workers have to work hard, and in other places, they can earn a gold coin at most in a month, and they have to be tired to die, and those workers on Qingyuan Island are not too tired, and they are good to eat and drink, but the monthly salary is three gold coins as the base, and there is overtime pay when they live a lot, and they can mix five or six gold coins in a monthγ β
Ouyang Feng nodded abruptly, and asked curiously, "Isn't there a lot of people rushing to go?"
Angelo nodded and said, "Of course, but Andulan is cautious, and those who work there must be innocent and honest and reliable, and he also said that it is better to have less than abundant, so that there are too few workers now, and they have to work overtime almost every day." β
Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "Isn't it very good, they can still make more money, okay, don't grind, I'll go." Angelo waved his hand and said, "Go early and come back early, pay attention to safety, and let's have a good drink in the evening." β
Ouyang Feng said perfunctorily: "Got it." β
Out of the castle, Ouyang Feng went straight to the small teleportation array in the back house, but before he could take a few steps, he saw Dunbar coming in from the outside. Ouyang Feng stopped, and waited for Dunbar, who was sweating profusely, to arrive in front of him before asking, "What's so anxious?"
Dunbar took a breath and said, "Senior Baker caught a couple of assassins last night and handed them over to us. These guys have really hard mouths. Even the dry old man took a night to pry their mouths open. β
Ouyang Feng asked unhurriedly, "What's wrong?"
Dunbar's eyes became a little smart: "Those people belong to a mysterious organization called Darkfire. This organization is secretive, we have never heard of it before, and it is said that this organization has existed for many years. β
Ouyang Feng asked suspiciously: "Dark Fire, what are you doing? It's also a killer organization?"
Dunbar shook his head and said, "They are not killers, although they do the same work, but they never receive any pay, they work for free." β
Ouyang Feng was stunned and said, "Help kill people, and don't charge money." So what are they trying to do? Is it a hobby?"
Dunbar said with a strange expression: "Their purpose is to punish evil and promote good, and eliminate harm for the people." The people I killed before were all wicked people who did all kinds of evil. β
Ouyang Feng nodded and said, "Then they should be regarded as chivalrous warriors." β
Speaking of this, Ouyang Feng thought of something: "What did you just say? Where did you catch those people last night?"
Dunbar shrugged and said, "It's in a small building not far from the City Lord's Mansion, and they've been following the convoy before. β
Ouyang Feng frowned and said, "What are they going to do? Could it be that who in the convoy is the target of their punishment?"
In Ouyang Feng's mind, there were so many big businessmen or city lords among yesterday's guests, it was inevitable that there would be a few scum among these people, and it was not surprising that they were targeted by the people of this dark fire organization, but they chose to do it when Mingyue and Anna got married. It's a bit too faceless.
Dunbargan laughed and said, "Yes, they are here to assassinate." β
Ouyang Feng: "Oh. Since they didn't have time to make a move, Mingyue and Anna's wedding went smoothly, and they can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, you can teach them a little lesson. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. β
Dunbar looked at Ouyang Feng in amazement, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Ouyang Feng saw Dunbar's strange expression, and asked puzzledly, "What else is going on?"
Dunbar sorted out his words, took a deep breath and said, "The people they want to kill are you and Sendy, as well as Dodd in the Holy City. β
Ouyang Feng almost fell down when he heard this, pointed to his nose and said, "You want to kill me, I am not an enemy of the people, and I haven't done anything bad that angers and resents people, why are they killing me?"
Without waiting for Dunbar to answer, Ouyang Feng frowned and guessed, "Could it be that they are also here for the identity of my inheritor?
Before Dunbar could answer, Ouyang Feng preemptively said, "No, if that's the case, why did they kill Dodd and Cindy? What does this have to do with the two of them?"
Deng Ba looked at Ouyang Feng fixedly, and when he saw that Ouyang Feng no longer spoke, he replied: " It is said that they are because a group of people found their organization, saying that the spar mine in the disorderly mountains should belong to all the local cultivators, and now it is occupied by a few of you, and the fake public and private people are reaping the benefits from it, and only a little spar is released, which does not give the ontology cultivators a way to live at all, and what do you say that you secretly intercepted most of the spars, all of which were given to the Holy City and the private pockets, and the people below complained, but out of the strength of the spar mine, they did not dare to resist, so those people would find the dark fire. β
The corners of Ouyang Feng's mouth twitched, and after a while, he scolded and said: "These shameless second goods, when the spar mine was occupied by the two major alliances, we gathered people to grab it with great difficulty, why didn't those guys come over when they were desperate, and if they didn't contribute, it was like sharing benefits, and they were really embarrassed to say it, damn, who are those people? If you ask if you can't ask them, I'll go to them and ask, what do they think? Your uncle, there are really a lot of shameless people." β
Ouyang said angrily: "Besides, I didn't care about the spar mine at all, and I never got a spar from there, isn't this a frame-up? Darkfire guys didn't investigate before they did anything? I really don't know how they survived until now, so easy to be used by others, after so many years, they may not have killed many good people by mistake." β
Dunbar spread his hands and said: "These few people caught are only the people working below, and they don't know the specifics, but they said that the above has investigated, and there is enough evidence to prove that you are rich, so they were sent to kill a few of you." β
Ouyang Feng thought about it carefully, and felt that since the organization of Dark Fire had been able to survive for so many years, and had always maintained a good reputation, and should do things in a measured manner, then the only explanation was that Ouyang Feng didn't continue to think about it, he didn't want to suspect Dodd and Xiandi, with Ouyang Feng's understanding of them, neither of them was that kind of person, there must be something wrong with this.
Dunbar continued: "We also asked, the Dark Fire Organization is very large, they will definitely send people over again if their operation fails this time, and the strength of the people who come will gradually escalate until the operation is successful, I came to inform you to be careful." β
Ouyang Feng was shocked, and said to Dunbar: "You hurry up and go to the place where Dodd and they live to inform him and Xiandi, otherwise they will be out of the city in late, let them come back quickly and come here." I'm going to go to Toothless Island and meet the killers for myself, and see what else I can ask. β
Dunbar said worriedly, "Are you alone?" β
Without waiting for Ouyang Feng to refuse, Huo Ke walked to the two of them with a sinking face: "No need, I'll accompany him." Dunbar, after you find Dodd, take him with you to Toothless Island. Dunbar respectfully gave Hawke a deep salute, didn't say anything, and hurried out of the City Lord's Mansion.
Ouyang Feng saw that Hawke's face was not very good-looking, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, you don't suspect Dodd, right? Hawke's expression was still stern: "Yes, we'll find out when we ask, let's go," he said, turning around and walking towards the teleportation first.
Looking at Hawke's slightly lost back, Ouyang Feng secretly prayed that Dodd must not really do that kind of thing, otherwise, with Ouyang Feng's understanding of Hawke, even if Dodd is his most optimistic son, he will not spare him, let alone the head of the family, it is difficult to say whether he can stay in the Weiqing family, if he doesn't get it right, he will be expelled from the house, Ouyang Feng knows that a big family like them values reputation the most, once someone in the family damages the door, the consequences are unbearable.
On the third floor of the castle, Hongshang and the others were still ignorant of this matter, and the little girl was the leader, and they happily counted the rich gifts one by one. And in a small room next to the room where they were, Baker and several other family elders sighed, just now, Dunbar and Ouyang Feng had a conversation, they all heard it clearly, but they didn't come forward, after all, this matter was related to the reputation of the Wei Qing family, and they couldn't get involved.
Baker sighed and said: "I think this matter is a conspiracy, we have all grown up watching that kid from a young age, and everyone knows his character very well, he shouldn't do that kind of thing, and with Dodd's mind, even if he really does it, it is impossible for someone to catch it." The others nodded.
Baker continued, "Looks like we're going to have to stay here a few more days. β
Seeing the helplessness on the faces of several people, Baker hesitated for a moment and said: "That's it, you have all been away from the family for so long, and the Holy City also needs manpower, if you have something to do, go back first, it's enough for me and Hawke to be here, by the way, bring those little guys back together." β
The great elders of the other families glanced at each other and nodded, it was not that they didn't want to stay and help, but even if they stayed, they wouldn't be able to help anything, with Baker and Hawke, as long as they were not besieged by dozens or hundreds of Jindan, there would be no danger, plus the strength of Qingyuan City should not be underestimated, there was absolutely no problem in terms of security, as for the rest, they believed that Hawke could handle it.
