Ding Xing listened to Zhuang Min's gossip about the 'locust plague' and 'wine theft'.

He slowly had a general understanding of the causes and processes of this catastrophe.

The mastermind is the 'Four Heavenly Kings' from the border desert of the Great Wei Kingdom, these monks usually never cross the border to the Wei Kingdom, and they have nothing to do with the Wei Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm, but when they went to bed at the end of their lives, they suddenly had the idea of the Golden Dew Winery and carried out looting at any cost.

Their motive is actually very simple, anyway, they are about to sit in ruins, it is better to make a big profit before they die and pass on a rich inheritance to their children and grandchildren.

Therefore, this theft has nothing to do with hatred, it is a pure act of coveting material treasures.

Similar incidents have occurred in Jinlu Winery before, and all the defenses have been successful, and Wujiao Mountain has not lost a single jar of spirit wine.

But this time, the 'Four Heavenly Kings' did not follow the usual path, they did not steal wine, they directly stole the spirit cellar, and they had a desperate belief that it would be successful, and they were even willing to give up their lives for this.

For such a fearless person, the success rate of stealing is naturally higher.

When Ding Xing was looking at the corpse of the 'Four Heavenly Kings', his uncle Wu Shiqing appeared at the door of the council hall and beckoned to him: "Xiao Ding, you come in!"

He pointed to Wu Shizong, Brother Xiao Wu, and Fang Liangu beside him, and asked them all to enter the conference hall.

Wu Shiqing must have experienced a thrilling battle last night, his right arm was bandaged, and a four-inch-long bloody wound was cut on his left face, which caused him to be unable to keep a straight face.

His tone was softened by exhaustion.

"I heard Shao Gong say that all the gardens where you are are have suffered a great disaster, and six or seven villagers have died, right?"

"Isn't it!" Wu Shizong and he were cousins, and he spoke openly: "Brother Shiqing, you don't know how miserable the younger brother was yesterday! Our Yuantian is not six or seven, but eight, Shiqu's old cousin, Jiliang and his wife, Widow Liu, and the other four are servants, and the death is worse than the other!"

He then babbled on and on about the cause and effect.

Wu Shiqing listened patiently, and after listening, he asked, "Do you think that this tragedy was caused by Hu Yanluo, a disciple of the Shangzong Sect?"

Wu Shizong hurriedly shook his head, his sister Wu Yuanfang was also in Shangzong, he didn't want to cause trouble for his sister: "The culprit is the ant demon, not caused by Hu Yanluo, she is a disaster at best." ”

Wu Shiqing suddenly sighed, his eyes turned on the faces of several people, and then he said: "She is actually not even a disaster, last night Shao Gong invited her to join forces to intercept the Silver Horn Heavenly King, from Wujiao Mountain all the way to the vicinity of your homeland, she put the sword at the request of Shao Gong, not to let the ant demon escape, but it is difficult for her to track the ant demon, and the sword into the berry field is also a last resort."

After releasing the sword, Shao Gong wanted to rush to the garden, capture the ant demon, and rescue the eight people by the way, but the Silver Horn Heavenly King spared his life and tore off one of Shao Gong's arms. ”

After Meng Shao severed his arm, although he joined forces with Hu Yanluo to kill the Silver Horn Heavenly King, he was injured, but he could no longer track the Silver Horn Giant Ant, and Hu Yanluo had no responsibility to chase, so there was a scene of the two talking in the berry garden.

In fact, they all saw Ding Xing risk rescuing Wu Shizong and Leng Erniang from the ant cave, but after all, the disaster was caused by them, so they didn't summon Ding Xing and a few people to talk.

At this moment, Ding Xing and several people listened to the whole story, and they were all surprised.

If this is the case, then the blame should be Meng Shaogong, and Hu Yanluo must not be blamed.

In fact, Meng Shaogong was also an unintentional mistake, after all, he had the intention of saving people, but because he broke his arm, he had more than enough heart and insufficient strength, which led to the tragedy.

To put it mildly, it was an accident.

Ding Xing asked curiously, "Uncle, how do you know so much?"

Wu Shiqing stroked his beard: "Shao Gong specially told me, and let me tell you the original, this is Hu Yanluo's request, she doesn't want to be a villain!"

In fact, you don't need to be notified, as Hu Yanluo, it's okay to be a wicked person.

But before she returned to the sect this morning, she made a special statement to Meng Shaogong that she must not let her reputation be damaged.

Hence this conversation.

Wu Shiqing looked at a few people: "Originally, the Quanzhuang meeting will announce two major events later, one is to arrange the operation to recover the Golden Dew Cellar, and one of the monks in the village will be counted as one, and they will take turns to go out to carry out the task of chasing treasures, but Hu Yanluo will intercede for you, so this errand will be spared!

Wu Shiqing's tone suddenly turned to envy.

Everyone knows in their hearts that once the Golden Dew Cellar is lost, the possibility of recovery is like looking for a needle in a haystack, which will be a long-term and long-lasting drudgery.

Dante awakened the five people with immunity.

This should be Huyan Luonian's compensation for them under mercy after they suffered a lot and died a bunch of relatives.

The compensation is not limited to this.

Wu Shiqing continued: "Another thing is related to the fruit tax, because of the theft of the Jinlu Spirit Cellar, the Shangzong tribute is facing the risk of interruption, in order not to let the Shangzong blame, it is necessary to refine a new spirit cellar, but the price is extremely high, even if the public treasury of the village is empty, it is not enough!

Meng Shaogong asked Hu Yanluo to draw the strings in order to refine the new cellar, and Hu Yanluo put forward this request.

This is definitely good news for Ding Xing, Wu Shizong, and Xiao Wu brothers, but Fang Liangu is a servant, she doesn't have her own garden, so it naturally doesn't matter if she adds taxes or not.

When Wu Shizong heard this, he noticed a word, and asked casually: "Brother Shiqing, has the village elected a new owner?"

Wu Shiqing knew all the details, and he revealed it to Ding Xing and a few people in advance: "Shao Gong is about to announce that his honorable cousin Siyun will be the new owner of the village! You don't have to be surprised, there is no way to do it, there are still four seniors in the village who are in the womb stage, Shao Gong broke an arm last night, Zhong Gong was blind in one eye last night, Aunt Yan is not injured, but she is dedicated to hard work, and she is not willing to take care of anything, so she can only help Siyun to take the position!"

He also clicked to the end.

After speaking, he waved his hand at a few people: "This Dazhuang meeting, the content has been told to you in advance, it has nothing to do with you, Shao Gong knows what you suffered last night, and it is specially approved that you don't need to attend the meeting, you can return to the cave to rest, go back!"

Wu Shizong and the Xiao Wu brothers left first.

Ding Xing was not in a hurry to go home, he had something important to ask Wu Shiqing about: "Uncle, Meng Changjun, the neighbor of the vineyard on my left, didn't show up last night, I suspect that she is a robber pretending, do you have any news of her?"

Wu Shiqing frowned when he heard this: "Last night, we captured the subordinates of the Four Heavenly Kings alive and searched for the souls one by one, any monk from the Tiandong Desert has been found out by us, and there is no Meng Changjun among them! If Meng Changjun is really a robber, then she is very likely to be a single husband, and the monks outside the village are eyeing the Golden Dew Cellar more than one way, she should be single-handed!"

Solo travelers are the hardest to catch.

Ding Xing was not going to leave the village, and naturally he would not pursue it, so he would not waste time on meaningless tracking, so he said: "I think she is suspicious, so report it to your uncle!"

Wu Shiqing snorted: "I will tell Shao Gong to send someone to keep an eye on her! The monks who invaded Zhuang this time, even if they escape from the Great Wei Kingdom, Zhuang Shang will chase them to the end, and no one can escape!"

But this has nothing to do with Ding Xing.

That's what he thinks right now.
