Chapter 258: Guessing the Culprit (Second Update)
Li Hongyu and others finally appeared by the clear pool, and everyone greeted them one after another.
Li Hongyu immediately spoke, and said with a solemn face: "An incident happened last night, I think it is necessary for everyone to know the situation first. ”
As he spoke, Li Hongyu snapped his fingers, and the four guards walked over from behind him carrying a stretcher.
"Lift the white cloth. ”
Li Hongyu simply said fourteen words, waved his hand, and a guard directly uncovered the white cloth on the stretcher.
As the white cloth was lifted, a bloody corpse appeared in front of everyone.
The abdomen and shoulders of the corpse had obvious scars, and the abdominal dantian was directly smashed, the death was a little ugly, and the face was even more pale as plastered with ash.
This corpse was none other than Xu Decheng's, that is, the man in black that Liang Wu and the others killed last night.
"It's ......"
Liang Wu took the lead in looking at the corpse with a surprised expression, saying that he didn't know who the corpse was.
Li Hongyu saw what Liang Wu's reaction meant, so he immediately said: "Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, this person is a guest of my Li family, and he was specially brought here this time to prevent trouble, especially after the opening of the Qingchi Holy Realm, mainly let him lead the elites of various families to guard Qingchi." I just don't want him to die, and die so miserably. ”
What he didn't expect was that Li Hongyu actually told Xu Decheng's identity as a guest, and he really didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
It stands to reason that his person is dead, and he should try to keep a low profile, and his high-profile announcement is a bit unreasonable, unless......
Unless he has discovered that Xu Decheng has other identities, so that he deliberately exposes Xu Decheng's identity, he can make several other forces doubt Xu Decheng's death, and there will naturally be chaos at that time.
Once the situation is chaotic, it will be a great opportunity for other disciples of the Li family to replace these people.
The Li family's position in the capital of Shu is naturally unshakable, but on the surface, they can't be too domineering, so as not to cause public outrage.
Anyway, the strength of the Zhou family and the Liu family is not bad, if they join forces, plus the integration of other small families, the challenge to the Li family is also very great.
Therefore, the Li family must not blatantly grab other people's places, they can only play tricks.
He threw out the dead Xu Decheng in order to arouse the suspicion of various families and forces, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.
This wishful thinking is quite good, and even Liang Wu feels that this Li Hongyu does have a brain.
"What? This person is the city lord and the guest of your family? What kind of strength is he? Who has the ability to kill him?"
Zhou Shifang was the first to come out to express his doubts, and looked at Li Hongyu with a surprised expression.
However, in Liang Wu's opinion, this Zhou Shifang's reaction is a bit too exaggerated, a dead guest qing, it is impossible to judge what his strength is, he actually said who has the ability to kill him, which is a bit intriguing.
Why did he ask, or rather, what was his purpose in asking?
The most important thing is that when this person was talking, he unconsciously glanced at Liang Wu, but it made Liang Wu also a little panicked.
What's the situation?
Did he see it?
Probably not!
When he killed Xu Decheng last night, Liang Wu used his spiritual sense to investigate a radius of five kilometers and didn't find anyone else, how could anyone know that it was the three of them who killed him?
This look is a little inexplicable.
Li Hongyu didn't seem to notice these details, and his gaze stayed on the corpse.
After pondering for a while, Li Hongyu spoke again: "He is the strongest guest of my Li family, and his strength has reached the realm of the late Yuan Infant stage, but I didn't expect that he would die so ugly, so I have reason to believe that there are more terrible opponents staring at us outside, I hope everyone must unite, and there will be no more fights for jade medals with each other!"
Li Hongyu said very sincerely, as if he was really afraid of the secret opponent.
But the more he said that, the more Liang Wu felt that there were many problems.
In particular, what he said at the end, "Don't have any more fights for jade medals", does this prove that there have been fights?
But looking at the crowd at the scene, the twenty-four qualified people were neatly organized, and apart from the fact that he was assassinated last night, he really couldn't see who else was assassinated at the scene.
Therefore, at this point, Liang Wu began to suspect that this Xu Decheng came to kill himself last night was arranged by him Li Hongyu.
"Does the city lord mean that there is now a fight between people to fight for the jade medal?"
Liu Chengkai looked at everyone with an evil smile, but he looked very relaxed, as if fighting was not a big deal in his eyes.
Liu Chengkai is the deputy city lord of Shu Capital City, and he is also hereditary, in fact, when managing Shu Capital City, he has the most opinions, and he is also the most prone to conflict with Li Hongyu.
Fortunately, this person is relatively tactful and has a good mouth, so there was no major conflict with Li Hongyu.
Compared with Zhou Shifang, who has always been silent, he is the most active of the three city lords.
"Patriarch Liu, you don't have to be so surprised, isn't this actually a normal thing? The Qingchi Holy Realm does not explicitly stipulate that you must enter according to the original list, in fact, as long as you are not more than forty years old, you are eligible, and the premise is to have a jade plate. Since this is the case, it is natural that there are capable people living in it. If you don't fight, kill, and kill, what's the point of cultivating this one?"
Zhou Shifang spoke again, this should be the first time he had ever said so much.
But the more he is like this, the more he seems to be a little abnormal, no matter how he listens, he even thinks that he is encouraging everyone to fight and compete for the jade medal.
On the surface, he said this to Liu Chengkai, but in fact, he said it to Li Hongyu.
Li Hongyu advocated that everyone should not fight internally, but should be unanimous with the outside world, and he said that there are capable people living in it, is this really good?
At least in the eyes of Liang Wu on the side, it feels like this matter is not as simple as it seems.
It is normal for these two people to have contradictions, but there is definitely a problem with such a singing and harmony, one singing with a white face and the other with a red face.
In the end, they want to plunge other forces into chaos, and their two families can reap the benefits of the fisherman?
Or do they look down on each other and want to get benefits from each other?
The conflict of interests between big families is really everywhere, and Liang Wu can be regarded as a long-term insight.
"Okay! I've also said what I want to say, since you have your own plans, I won't stop you, just look at your personal creation!
After speaking, Li Hongyu immediately waved his hand, and the four guards immediately carried Xu Decheng's body away.
"It's clear that you're acting!"
Yang Xudong also seemed to be a little unbearable, and began to use spiritual sense transmission to transmit to Liang Wu.
If you want to communicate here, spiritual consciousness transmission is of course the best, after all, it is safe and reliable, and you are not afraid of being overheard.
When Liang Wu heard this, he immediately used the Yang family's secret technique, and also said: "I also think that this Li Hongyu is very problematic, he suddenly came out like this, it is obvious that he deliberately provoked the incident, but he still has to pretend to be a good person, he is really scheming." ”
Yang Xudong said: "But I don't think that Liu Chengkai is a fuel-efficient lamp, he deliberately asked like that, obviously he actually knew that there was a situation last night, maybe he was assassinated last night." ”
Sometimes, the more inconspicuous the person, the more likely it is to be the key person.
What's more, according to Wang Yuelun's understanding of Xu Decheng after searching for his soul, Xu Decheng also has a relationship with his Liu family, and it is not impossible for him Liu Chengkai to let Xu Decheng kill Liang Wu.
This time, the three major families are all prepared, and just by looking at the number of people they brought, they will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo.
And according to the previous analysis, the three major families have divided up the representatives of other small families in disguise, which means that there are only five forces in the entire list now.
In addition to the nineteen people from the three major families, the remaining five people are two families, and they are all small families.
Naturally, if you want to have more places, the goal is these two small families.
There are only two places in Shangde City, and the strength of Long Zhen and Long Ai is very good, and they look like they are indisputable, obviously the ultimate goal is the three of Liang Wu in Guanjiang City.
For the three major families, it was obviously impossible to swallow Guanjiang City, so what they wanted was to break them one by one, which led to the assassination of Liang Wu last night.
However, Liang Wu seemed to be suspicious of Yang Xudong's speculation, only to see him transmit again: "Big brother, your speculation is possible, but in my opinion, that Zhou Shifang's suspicion is the greatest." ”
"Zhou Shifang, you mean the Zhou family, but Xu Decheng has nothing to do with the Zhou family!"
Yang Xudong did not disagree with Liang Wu's speculation, but according to the results of Wang Yuelun's soul search of Xu Decheng, the Zhou family did not have a superficial relationship with Xu Decheng.
So such a person will listen to Zhou Shifang's arrangement?
"I also know this, but don't you think this Zhou Shifang is very abnormal today? It seems that he has known Xu Decheng's identity for a long time. Also, precisely because he has no relationship with Xu Decheng, it is even less likely to be suspected that he deliberately provoked trouble. Think about it, if he already knows Xu Decheng's two identities, once he provokes an incident and the two parties conflict and fight, who will benefit the most?"
Liang Wu analyzed again.
Although Liang Wu did not have any real evidence, his analysis made sense.
After Yang Xudong heard this, he also felt that there was some truth, so he said: "Well, it seems that it can be said that it can be reasonable, so the question is back to the original point, who sent this Xu Decheng to kill you? Li family, Zhou family, Liu family, or Spirit Sword Sect?"
When Liang Wu heard this, he also shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know, it's all possible." ”
"What are you two talking about?"
At this time, Wang Yuelun finally couldn't help it, and seeing that the two of them didn't speak, he guessed that they were transmitting sound to each other, so he also joined in.
“......”
Liang Wu and Yang Xudong were speechless for a while, and at this time, in response to this Qingchi, Li Hongyu started a new round of popular science introduction.
