It's not yet dark.

A large number of servants came from the west of the city and arrived in Nancheng District, blocking the courtyard where He Mingxuan lived.

In the courtyard, He Mingxuan's body had been lowered from the wall, and the Pu knife that pierced through his chest was placed next to it, and the red blood stains on it had dried up, and a trace of charred was faintly visible.

Standing next to He Mingxuan's corpse was He Guangzong, the chief secretary of Xicheng District, who was the first to hear the news, and the whole person stood there like this, with a gloomy face and silent speech.

I don't know how long it took.

When the sky is bright.

A large number of men and horses arrived from the inner city and surrounded the courtyard.

A man in a cyan robe, who looked a little similar to He Mingxuan, but was obviously much older, walked into the courtyard, and looked at the surroundings with cold eyes.

"Second brother."

He Guangzong saw the person coming and spoke in a deep voice.

The man in the green shirt is He Mingxuan's father, He Guangxun, the deputy capital of the Inner City Smelting Division, is in charge of all iron smelting in Yu County, and the same as the Salt Division in charge of the Yu family, the smelting department is basically completely controlled by the He family, it can be said that the entire Yu County up to all the officials and officials used by the 'poor knife', down to the kitchen knives and poor knives used by the common people, and then to the strong crossbows, arrows, iron armor and other equipment used by the Du Guard, all of them must pass through the hands of the He family.

He Guangxun has a lot of sons, there are three born to his wife, and there are more than 20 concubines, and he also belongs to the prosperous heirs in the third generation of the He family, but there are not many of them that he attaches importance to.

He Mingxuan is one of the sons-in-law, ranked second, and his talent is not the best among his concubines, but he is also ranked high, after all, he is a character who has entered the realm of Yi Jin, although it is only with the third Yi Jin Pill that he can break through, and a lot of resources are spent in the middle to nourish qi and blood and reduce the difficulty of Yi Jin, but it is always over.

Even if it is almost impossible to step into forging bones in the future, but it is not much of a problem to survive until the age of thirty-five, and it is not much of a problem to reach the consummation of Yijin, and he is also one of the children in the middle and upper ranks, and he can stand alone, whether it is to lead a division or to serve in a local county in the future, he is the backbone of the He family.

Let He Mingxuan serve as the deputy chief secretary of the City Health Division, in fact, the meaning of tempering is mostly the meaning.

Although the position of the chief messenger is occupied by Xu Hongyu, there are still a lot of official positions from the seventh rank corresponding to the chief mission in Yucheng, He Mingxuan, as a martial artist in the Yijin Realm, can also hold many official positions from the seventh grade, in fact, it is not necessary to snatch Xu Hongyu's position, but the He family hopes that he will fight with Xu Hongyu, and it is better to overpower Xu Hongyu and squeeze him away, but it is also a kind of tempering to suppress it, and he can always hold the power of Nancheng District.

But.

He Mingxuan died.

Died in the mansion he bought in Nancheng District, under the noses of a group of hospital attendants.

"How's it going?"

He Guangxun walked slowly to He Mingxuan's corpse, his eyes swept over the corpse, and he did not show any sadness or anything like that, some were just indifferent.

He has a lot of sons, and He Mingxuan is not the most outstanding one, He Mingxuan's death is far greater than sadness in his heart, but as the deputy director of the dignified smelting department, his joy and anger are invisible, even if he is still indifferent at this time, he can't see any emotional fluctuations.

He Guangzong said in a deep voice: "It is the Pu knife that forcibly snatched a knife from the courtyard, twenty or thirty meters apart, and it was thrown through the air in the dark night, its momentum is large and heavy, at least to the extent that it is easy to complete, and even uses the artistic conception ......"

With He Mingxuan's strength, a simple and easy blow to succeed, from the dark night, there is a high probability that he will not be able to dodge, but the other party obviously came with the purpose of killing this time, not only suddenly broke out in the night, but even mobilized the power of artistic conception, what he wanted was not to give He Mingxuan any chance to live, and pursue a one-hit kill.

He Guangxun slowly leaned down, picked up the blood-stained Pu knife, carefully looked at the traces on the knife, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:

"Thunder Mood?"

"Yes."

He Guangzong nodded, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes, and said: "No matter where you look at it, the one who wants to kill Mingxuan the most can only be the Yu family, but at this time, it is very strange, the artistic conception of the Yu family is basically a vein of Kanshui, I have never heard of a vein of thunder before, and the characters who master the artistic conception of thunder, except for those of the Xue family, are basically in the Xie family." ”

He Guangxun stood up, threw the Pu knife on the ground, then closed his eyes slightly, and said: "Not long ago, the Yu family lost a batch of salt goods, and they wanted to take revenge in anger, so they did not hesitate to ask someone to assassinate Xuan'er and give the He family a sharp warning. ”

He Guangzong listened, frowning slightly.

However.

He Guangxun suddenly opened his eyes again, changed his words, and said: "The Yu family lost a batch of goods, the He family also lost a batch of goods last night, the Yu family's power is still three points, some people hope that we will fight to the death with the Yu family at this time, so they took advantage of the chaos to attack and kill Xuan'er, hoping to provoke a fire between our two families." ”

He Guangzong's eyebrows stretched slightly, which seemed more reasonable.

But then he thought of something, and said: "If this is the case, why don't you ask someone to start with the artistic conception of Kanshui, but with the artistic conception of thunder, wouldn't it be clearer to start with the artistic conception of Kanshui." ”

He Guangxun said lightly: "That's too deliberate!" ”

"As soon as the Yu family lost a batch of goods, someone assassinated Xuan'er with the artistic conception of Kanshui...... Do you think the Yu family really wants to start a complete war with us? Being too deliberate will only make people more suspicious of the matter. ”

"On the contrary, it is like this now, whether it is true or false, even I can't be sure, whether it is really the Yu family's hand, or the Xie family, or the Xue family."

When He Guangxun said this, his face also became a little gloomy.

It's obvious.

Someone deliberately tried to muddy the waters.

Killing people with the artistic conception of thunder and thunder, there is not only the possibility of the Yu family asking someone to do it and using this to clear up the relationship, but also deliberately pointing to the Xie family, so even the Xue family is very suspicious, after all, the Xue family and the Xie family are eager for their He family to fight to the death with the Yu family.

He Guangzong also fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "Then, what are we going to do?" ”

"Open contention, secret investigation."

He Guangxun said lightly: "Xuan'er is dead, no matter who does it, someone must pay the price, and we must give our He family an explanation, in the face of the He family's anger, at least in this Nancheng District, their rest of the family must let it out." ”

"Not bad."

He Guangzong also nodded, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He Mingxuan died in Nancheng District for no apparent reason, so Xu Hongyu is suspected of dereliction of duty anyway, take this opportunity to take off Xu Hongyu's position as the chief messenger, there is no problem, if the Yu family does not want to face the anger of the He family, then most likely they will give in, and the city lord will always compensate for He Mingxuan's death, and most of them will also push the boat down the river.

In any case, He Mingxuan can't die worthless, at least he has to exert his residual heat for the He family.

After that, there is an undercover investigation.

Secretly investigate this matter thoroughly, which one is related to it, and dare to attack the He family, no matter who you can't let go!

A character who is at least easy to complete and has mastered the artistic conception of thunder is not an ordinary existence, he is the number one powerhouse in the entire Yucheng, and even the general bone forging realm, if he does not master the artistic conception, it is difficult to be his opponent, this kind of character cannot be completely left alone, and some clues must be found.

In Yucheng, although the intelligence of the He family is far inferior to that of the Xue family and the Xie family, it has basically penetrated everywhere, and it is impossible for an existence that has mastered the artistic conception of thunder to be unknown, unless it suddenly popped out of the stone, and there has never been any trace of a shot before, otherwise how can you find out something.

Come to think of it.

He Guangzong shook his head again and said, "Speaking of which, not long ago, the Yu family revealed a character who had mastered the artistic conception of Xunfeng, and he still hasn't found out any results, and I don't know who his identity is. ”

"Oh?"

He Guangxun looked at He Guangzong: "I seem to remember this." ”

So He Guangzong briefly said some of the previous things again.

He Guangxun shook his head slightly after hearing this, and said, "Hmm...... Then this time the suspicion of the Yu family is the smallest, I don't think the Yu family has the ability to hide the two characters who have mastered the artistic conception, otherwise there is no need for the Yu family to retreat like this all these years. ”

"That's true."

He Guangzong also nodded.

Two artistic conception level existences that they didn't know about before and had no traces came out silently, and the hidden strength of the Yu family was a little too terrifying, maybe there would be a third or even a fourth, and this possibility was very small.

After all, the most critical point is that the foundation of the Yu family is a picture of Kanshui copied by the holy disciples of the past, although it is not the real three-generation map, it is just a copy of the painting of the holy disciples, but there are not many stocks in the world today, at least it is also of medium quality.

Relying on this picture, the Yu family can cultivate so many characters with the artistic conception of Kanshui.

As for the other moods?

There is no copy of the above grade for comprehension, how can it be so easy to understand!

Like their He family, they hold a picture of Genshan of similar quality, so the clan has accumulated those characters who have realized the artistic conception of Genshan over the years, and other inferior 'engraving' and 'rubbing' pictures, their He family also has several pairs, including a few pictures of Lihuo and Duze, but no one has ever been able to realize the true artistic conception by relying on those inferior inferior pictures.

The artistic conception of the fundamental map of this kind of thing, the closer to the beginning, the clearer the true meaning of heaven and earth contained in it, the easier it is to touch, the kind of copying and then rubbing, I don't know how many times to reproduce the inferior map, there is still a trace left, it is not bad for ordinary people to understand the artistic conception from it, at most it is to help people better understand the subtlety of the 'potential'.

In this Yu City.

Only the Xue family has the most fundamental diagrams.

But the Xue family holds these maps, and it also has its own capital, the Xue family has been an elder of the Seven Xuanzong for several generations, and it is a great person who looks at the land of a state, and it is said that he has crossed the existence of the viscera realm.

After that, the Xue family gradually fell and became the outer force of the Seven Xuanzong, but they were still able to rule the entire Yu County for the Seven Xuanzong, and their relationship with the Seven Xuanzong was far closer than the other three.

This is the foundation of the Xue family.

It's out of the reach of the other three.
