Chapter 262: A Stone Wave
Hua Yanrong entered the martial arts temple and found that there were many young people gathered in the square of the courtyard, all talking about something.
It seems that the burning of Tang's "Listening to Hexuan" has spread throughout the city in a short period of time.
Hua was disfigured and walked to the bamboo cultivation courtyard, but was pulled by a person halfway.
When Hua looked up, it was Ji Can, and there was a layer of anxiety on his face.
"Where have you been in the past two days? Something has happened!" Seeing Hua Disfigured, Ji Can asked
"I sent that little sister home. ”
Hua replied calmly, and pretended to be puzzled and asked Ji Can, "So many people gathered here, what are you talking about? On the way back, I saw the flames rushing to the sky, and the people rushed away, did something big happen?"
Ji Can glared at Hua angrily, "The 'Listening to Hexuan' you cursed that day was really set on fire!"
Hua was disfigured and pretended to make an "ah" sound, and then smiled happily: "The report of the present world comes so quickly, God is really eye-opening." ”
Ji Can looked around carefully, lowered his voice, but his eyes were fixed on Hua Hua, "It can't be your kid who did it, right?"
Hua Yan's face changed, and he hurriedly shook his hand, "Brother Ji, you can eat indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense! Such a sensational event will kill people!"

Ji Can looked at Hua Fa's "panicked" appearance, so he chuckled and said, "So you're also scared?"
The two walked towards the inner courtyard and talked as they walked.
"Just now, someone from the City Lord's Mansion came to spread the word. ”
Ji Can said: "If we want those of us to take the test, don't wander around in the city, and rush to the Holy Land of Body Refining early tomorrow morning, but we can't miss the business." ”
"I can't be wrong. Hua Lost face replied easily.
The temple is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard, the area is quite wide, and the "small courtyard of bamboo cultivation" is located on the east side of the inner courtyard of the temple.
In the east courtyard, there are more than a dozen courtyards like the "Bamboo Cultivation Courtyard", and each courtyard is inhabited by young talents who have come to participate in this body refining holy land.
At this moment, Tang Xuejian and the others were sitting in the "Bamboo Cultivation Courtyard", everyone's expressions were strange, the atmosphere was a little dull, and Tang Xuejian and Tang Yulou were even more blushing.
Suddenly, a bright white light flashed in front of Tang Yulou, Tang Yulou stretched out his hand to take it, and the white light disappeared.
"Messengers. ”
Then, Tang Yulou unfolded his palm, and from the transmission talisman on his palm, an old voice came out: "Ten 'Tinghe Xuan' in the outer city of the family have been wantonly set on fire, and the current enemy situation is unknown. Outside the Tang clan, regardless of the main family or the side branches, they must pay attention to guarding against all invading enemies and protect themselves. ”
When everyone heard this, their expressions were different, and they all looked at Tang Xuejian and Tang Yulou.
In this atmosphere, Ji Can and Hua Disfigured walked in with a smile, and then greeted everyone.
Tang Xuejian looked at Hua with cold eyes, as if he wanted to see him through, and after a long time, he took a deep breath, and seemed to express the depression in his body.
"The ancestor has spoken, this time the burning of 'Listen to Hexuan' is a serious provocation to the Tang clan, and my Tang clan has launched a declaration of war against the incoming enemy. ”
After Tang Yulou finished speaking, the few people sitting around didn't dare to squeak.
At this time, it is most taboo to talk too much, and if you are not careful, you will touch the taboo and arouse suspicion.
However, although the side disciples of this big family have no expression on their faces, they don't know how happy they are in their hearts.
The weakening of one family will inevitably cause the other three clans to advance violently.
Dividing up interests, falling into the well, and beating the water dogs, these methods are quite skillful and skillful.
Hua lost her face but knew that there was one person who would never allow such a thing to happen.
This person is the city director Yun Di.
Now the power of Tianbao Mansion has formed a situation in which the two major sects, the four major families, and the two armies are balanced by each other.
As the city lord, Ren Yun's enemy has a transcendent status, and he only needs to mediate in the middle to maintain a peaceful situation on one side, isn't this what a city lord who has made a difference should see?
If one side is weak, once this fragile balance is broken, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the Tianbao Mansion.
And the result of the turmoil was that Ren Yundi, as the city lord, mediated everywhere and extinguished the fire in all directions.
In the face of interests, the greed of the human heart is bottomless, if the interests of all parties are not balanced, as the city lord may also fall into it, unable to extricate himself.
After Ren Yundi heard the report of his subordinates, he was also furious, and overnight he grabbed the government official Shi who was still in the bed, and strictly ordered him to arrest the murderer within a time limit.
Ren Yundi was very annoyed, today, he had just received Dai Fengning, an important person from Southeast County, and his party, this was the first time in hundreds of years that Southeast County had sent someone to participate in the competition of the Body Refining Holy Land.
Unexpectedly, such a serious arson incident occurred, so that his town management experience, which has been praised by his superiors, was slapped in the face, how could he not be angry?
Just when he was furious, the patriarch of the Tang clan came to the City Lord's Mansion and reported to him that "Tinghe Xuan" had been set on fire.
After listening to Tang Fengxing's report, it was natural that Ren Yundi thought of revenge from the enemy, otherwise, it could not be explained, just the Tang family's shop was on fire, while the other three families were intact.
After Ren Yundi ordered the government to investigate strictly, he thought about the follow-up development of this matter for a long time.
This matter is not trivial, if it is not handled well, the history of the four major families will likely change, and how much benefit can the City Lord's Mansion make from it?
Uncontrollable things are really a headache!
However, the person who was most angry at this moment was not the city director Yun Di, but the Tang clan's Dinghai Divine Needle - Ancestor Tang Jingtian.
More than ten years ago, Tang Jingtian had passed on the position of patriarch to his youngest son Tang Fengxing, and announced that he would retreat and no longer care about worldly affairs.
Tang Fengxing is capable, stable in trouble, in the past ten years, he has been exercising like a fish in water, Tang Jingtian sees it in his eyes, and he is naturally happy in his heart.
However, the incident happened suddenly, there was no warning before, and the whole clan was facing an unknown predicament, where did Tang Fengxing encounter such a situation, and the panic in his heart can be imagined.
After thinking about it, he discussed with the elders of the family, and after unanimously agreeing, he had to invite Tang Jingtian, who had retired for many years, to come out.
Tang Jing Tianwu Jun is in the realm, he is more than a hundred years old, but he looks only about sixty years old.
He is the backbone of the Tang family, the ancestor of the other three major families, and one of the few great powers in the Tianbao Mansion who has advanced to the Martial Monarch Realm.
Since Tang Jingtian retired, the non-family family was facing a moment of danger, and it was easy not to alarm him.
At this moment, he and several elders of the family sat in the council hall, listening to the reports of the people below, and his thinking pattern quickly formed in his mind.
He was guessing in his heart who was so vicious and wanted to burn the Tang clan's most profitable "Tinghe Xuan".
"Listening to Hexuan" not only sells elixirs, but also sells elixirs.
Nearly seventy percent of the pills in Tianbao Mansion came from the Tang family, and these pills were sold to the outside world by virtue of "Listening to Hexuan".
This is a monopoly industry, just like seventy percent of all the talismans, instruments, and formations in the Tianbao Mansion come from the other three families.
It is precisely because of this that the four major families have stood tall in Tianbao Mansion for thousands of years and become the overlords of one side.
Now, all the "Tinghexuan" in the outer city have been burned down and suffered heavy losses, which is intolerable to the Tang clan.
When he first heard the patriarch Tang Fengxing's report that "Listening to Hexuan" was burned, he didn't care in his heart, thinking that it was accidentally caused by the guys in the store, and when he heard that all the ten "Tinghe Xuan" in the outer city were burned, he was shocked.
This is someone who wants to attack the Tang clan!
Tang Jingtian immediately made a decision and asked Tang Fengxing to immediately order the whole clan to be on alert.
Within an hour, all the "Listening to Hexuan" in the outer city were on fire, and the discerning people saw that this was a deliberate action against the Tang clan, and it must be that the enemy came to seek revenge!
Tang Jingtian issued several orders in a row, in addition to letting the shopkeepers of "Listening to Hexuan" quickly report back to the family to report the details, he also ordered the whole clan to be on guard in case of a larger-scale attack by the enemy.
At the same time, Tang Jingtian asked the patriarch Tang to be popular and quickly reported to the City Lord's Mansion.
Under the rule of Ren Yundi, even if the four major families are strong, they are not allowed to trespass.
Such a vicious incident of arson and murder that affects the safety of the whole city can only be reported to the city lord's mansion, and the city lord's mansion will first file a case, and the government will take the lead and lead, coordinate the forces of all parties, and then send the yamen to arrest and quickly find the culprit.
The government office is more cumbersome in handling cases, but it is orderly and orderly.
With the powerful power of the Tang clan in Tianbao Mansion, how could they not investigate in person?
Reporting to the City Lord's Mansion is a superficial thing, it is to give the city director Yun Enemy face, at least the superficial efforts have been done, so that people can't find fault.
But with the slow and leisurely style of the Tianbao Mansion, when the arrest is dispatched quickly, the murderer has long since disappeared.
Therefore, as soon as they heard the news that "Listening to Hexuan" was burned, the huge power of the Tang family was sent out one after another and spread throughout the city.
This is the strength of the profound family!
Before Ren Yundi, as long as someone did something that was detrimental to the four major families, they would not even notify the City Lord's Mansion, and the four major families had already sent people to search for suspects.
Extorting confessions by torture is common, but once a person is caught, there is no possibility of survival.
It is said that there are not many people who die unjustly at the hands of the four major families every year.
The prestige of the four major families is not all concentrated in wealth, and each major family has an unattainable number of high-level martial artists, as well as silent lynching.
Tonight, being beaten in the face like this is intolerable to the Tang clan.
This is not only a matter of the face of the Tang family, but also a direct declaration of war against the Tang family, and the murderer of the "Tinghexuan" arson case must be found to demonstrate the inviolability of the Tang family.
This night, all the shopkeepers and associates of the Tang clan of Tianbao Mansion were recalled to the family by the summons and questioned one by one.
No matter how big or small, even if there are customers who are dissatisfied with the guy's poor hospitality because they are busy, they are also disclosed in detail, recorded one by one, and provided to the investigators for reference.
Naturally, the guy of "Tinghexuan", who was located next to the courtyard in the college district, did not dare to hide that he was greedy for a little girl's "blue-eyed lotus", and he did not dare to hide the fact that he was intimidated by the flower disfigurement, and 1510 truthfully confessed.
It can be said that this is the only thing involved in the arson case since the midnight questioning.
Hua Yanrong and Long Xiaoyun's names were naturally mentioned in the presbytery.
Tang Jingtian looked at these two unfamiliar names and frowned, "These two little children, could they be arsonists?
An elder stepped forward and replied, "The man has been taken, and the information of these two children is being summarized." ”
"The Tang family's family rules are still too lenient. ”
Tang Jingtian frowned, shook his head and sighed lightly, "A little guy dares to act so boldly, he would actually be greedy for a low-grade elixir, and say that he would go out, who would know that this was just the selfish act of a subordinate?"
It will only be said that the whole Tang family is brazen and everyone is like this, even a little girl dares to deceive, what else would not dare to do? The reputation of the Tang family has been eroded little by little!
It seems that the Tang family's comfortable life has passed for too long, and no one remembers the life and death crisis in the past. ”
Tang Jingtian's words were soft and slow, as if they were said casually, but the elders present did not dare to think so.
The Ancestor was furious!
