On top of this dossier, which is similar to the directory, there are all kinds of records, almost all the family situations of the late ancestor Yanqiling, the properties under his name, the farmhouse, the business name, and the main personnel information, Ye Mo quickly found a record about the Ye family, which occupies more than a page of detailed description, except for a special mark, there is nothing else special.

This mark is also very simple, just two unregular circles, marked around the name of his father Ye Tianming, what does this mean?

Ye Mo couldn't find a clue for a while, took a deep breath, leaned back on the comfortable ferret seat, and fell into deep thought, after a while, he looked through the list from beginning to end, and finally found a clue.

The Liu family, the Meng family, the Sun family, the names of the heads of these three families, all have the same mark, these families, in addition to the Sun family, still have a close relationship with the Ye family firm, and their family owners, also when Yanqiling was destroyed, were assassinated by Chixiamen for various reasons, but time has passed, and they, like the Ye family, have already abandoned this old thing, no longer care about the previous grievances, and are doing business wholeheartedly.

Businessmen always make heavy profits, not to mention what is the benefit of going against the sect and using the mantis arm as a car?

Ye Mo sighed secretly, the deeper he participated in the family's industry, the more he agreed with this truth, but his father's death was still like a sharp blade hanging in his heart, which could not be resolved for a long time. From this dossier, he preliminarily judged that his father's death should be due to the fact that Chixiamen had been eyeing his father early on.

I still remember that at that time, my father who returned from Chixiamen, was seriously injured, almost fatal, and never woke up after entering the second uncle's house.

On the day of his father's death, the Ye family suddenly burst into flames, and all the houses were reduced to ashes, does it have anything to do with this incident?

Ye Mo felt that this matter had to be investigated in-depth to reach a conclusion, but the question was where to start, he stood up and wandered around the empty house several times, his mood gradually became a little anxious, so he drank all the cold tea in the cup, and planned to go to the back garden to take a walk and reorganize his thoughts.

In the back garden behind the house, it was extremely quiet at this time, except for the servants who were on duty, the entire Ye Family Chamber of Commerce had already fallen asleep. Ye Mo has participated in that mysterious organization since he was introduced by his friend Wei Shu, often walking in the dark, and he is already familiar with the road, and he can even see the details of the grass and trees near the left, which is somewhat related to the fact that his cultivation has recently faintly reached the high level of the spirit level, but more because practice makes perfect, from the vague and fragmented outlines, he supplements the details by himself, which is the key mystery of this "pseudo night vision" ability.

However, these things hidden in the darkness could not inspire Ye Mo's inspiration, he finally stopped in front of a slightly bright window, this is the residence of the second uncle Ye Tianqiu, since several peers, including Ye Mo, were able to shoulder the burden of the Chamber of Commerce, the second uncle gave up his power, except for important clan meetings, rarely interfered in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and stayed in this room all day long, rarely going out.

"It's Zhao'er outside, come in!"

There was a voice in the house that was not too old, in essence, the second uncle Ye Tianqiu was in the prime of life, and he was not at the age of taking a back seat, "Zhao'er" was the nickname that Ye Mo had used, Ping Suli, the second uncle had always called him that.

"Yes. Although there was some resistance in his heart, Ye Mo still pushed the door into the house, the palace lights in the house were bright, and the thin second uncle Ye Tianqiu was reclining in the chair, casually flipping through a miscellaneous book, which was one of his usual hobbies.

"What, can't you sleep?"

"Yes, the territory of the Ying Sect has been merged recently, and many chambers of commerce have run away, and the accounts are in a mess. Ye Mo found an excuse that was not lame, in fact, these things no longer needed him to worry about, and he had his own debt collectors to do them.

"It's not the first time this is the first time, there's no need to worry, as long as there are a few close families with us, nothing has happened. Ye Tianqiu is very experienced in this, and comforted lightly, "It's not important, the important thing is to spread the branches and leaves early, understand? Don't go out in the middle of the night, I don't look at you, you don't look like someone outside, and you have time to accompany Xi Yun." ”

"Yes, the second uncle taught you a lesson!"

Ye Mo's face was slightly red, he didn't expect that he often went out at night, he thought it was seamless, and he had hidden it from everyone except Xi Yun, but he didn't hide it from the eyes of the second uncle, but for the one in front of him, he was wary in his heart, after all, in his opinion, the last knife wound was obviously done by the second uncle who accompanied his father at the end.

"You have something on your mind, tell me about it. Ye Tianqiu put down the miscellaneous notes in his hand and carefully folded the mark, "Zhao'er, since you figured it out and returned to the Ye family, did you really put it down?"

Ye Mo ran, he knew how to answer, but he had already experienced such a test more than once.

"I regret your father's death. But hearing Ye Tianqiu suddenly mention this topic, Ye Mo, who bowed his head slightly, showed a trace of essence in his eyes, "There are some things that I didn't want you to know, because you used to be an ordinary person, born in a wealthy family, and it was good to indulge in happiness, but you accidentally awakened the Faxiang and took care of the industrial management of the Chamber of Commerce well, so I still tell you about it."

。 ”

"Your father, my eldest brother, was indeed killed by me. ”

"Huh?" Ye Mo raised his head and met Ye Tianqiu's gaze full of memories.

"At that time, he came back from Chixiamen, his muscles and veins were broken, he almost lost his breath, and it seemed that he had been devastated by the soul search spell, however, he could still maintain a trace of sobriety, with the financial resources and contacts of our Chamber of Commerce, he could ask a doctor to treat him, and most of them could save a life, although he could no longer cultivate, but it was not difficult to enjoy a lifetime of wealth. But your father was bent on death, so he begged me to give him a happy end. ”

"Why?" Ye Mo's breathing became heavy.

"Your father knows a secret, a secret that he once knew and kept together with the heads of the Liu family, the Meng family, and the Sun family, and this is also the secret that the four families such as me can rise from ordinary people to prosperous families. They had made an oath not to reveal a single cent of this secret, and he also thought that after bribing the guards to escape, he would soon be detected by the Chixia Gate after pretending to be a dead body, and he would not be able to avoid the second soul search, so he decided to beg for death so that this secret would not be known to others. ”

"So you are perfect...... Helped him?"

"Yes!" Ye Tianqiu said lightly, as if it was not his own business, but his eyes were already moist.

"Since it was my father's request, then why did you send people to test me again and again?"

"Why should I test you?" Ye Tianqiu was suddenly stunned.

And Ye Mo was also stunned at the same time, he didn't know if the second uncle Ye Tianqiu was lying, but if not, then who was testing himself, could it be someone from Chixiamen?

"Could it be that they haven't given up yet?" Ye Tianqiu's expression changed abruptly, his eyes were introverted, revealing a little fear, "I deliberately burned down the Ye family's old mansion, just to make them die, but I didn't expect them to never give up?"

"What's the secret?" Ye Mo felt that his heart was so confused, and he immediately thought of the key to the matter.

"It's about an immortal cave mansion. Ye Tianqiu said, "That's all I know." This is only what your father revealed before he died, and this is the result of several inquiries I asked. ”

"Did my father leave anything behind?"

"That's all there is to it. ”

Ye Tianqiu picked out a seemingly plain book from the pile of books next to him, and took out a small yellow note with only two fingers width from the title page of the book, except for the special material of this note, there was nothing on it.

"After the fire, I picked this up. But I never found anything special, and since it was left by your father, I left it to you. But this thing could well kill you. ”

"I see. Ye Momo held this small note, except that he felt that it was very delicate, there was indeed nothing special, he wanted to put it in the storage bag, but found that it could not be stored, he couldn't help but be moved, thinking that there was a living thing hidden in it, and took out the spirit beast bag extra, and found that it was not good.

What is this? He froze.

"What is the reason for the prosperity of our family?" He recalled the words of his second uncle Ye Tianqiu, and found a suspicious point, when he was a child, he always thought that it was because of his father and second uncle that he awakened to become monks, and the family gradually prospered from being poor and white, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that there is a deeper reason.

"Every year in October, your father will always go out, and when he returns, he will be very weak, as if he has suffered a bloody disaster, but he will bring back a pile of scattered spirit stones, initially, the total value is only five third-order, and when he goes for the last time, there are a hundred third-order. But the last time, after a year, your father still hasn't fully recovered, so he didn't go back. A total of ten years have passed, and our family, based on this, has gradually improved. ”

"The Liu family, the Meng family, and the Sun family, is it the same?"

"The previous head of the Liu family, a year before your father went, fell ill, the head of the Meng family and the head of the Sun family, after a few years, they no longer went, your father was the leader, and the last time he went, he went alone. This incident was stabbed out because the head of the Sun family was dying, and he wanted to ask for a life-sustaining pill and sold it to Chixiamen, which was something that your father only knew before he died. ”

So that's the case, no wonder the Ye family has no contact with the Sun family now, Ye Mo immediately understood the cause and effect, but he still couldn't understand this mysterious little note, this matter still needs to continue to investigate in depth, but now that he knows that the Sun family is the cause of this matter, then the next investigation object is obvious.

In addition, if what the second uncle said is true, then he should also be careful, the hidden force that has repeatedly tested himself wants to know more secrets of this matter from himself?

Ye Mo had a lot of thoughts in his heart, said goodbye to his second uncle, stuffed the soft, but not easily foldable small note into his sleeve, walked through the back garden, quietly returned to the study, and refilled the spirit stone for the soul fire palace lamp, the lamp was immediately lit up for three points, reflected on the clear account, but he had no intention of watching, but in his heart he only wanted to start investigating the Sun family as soon as possible, and avoiding the investigation of the Chixia Gate.

............

Chixia Gate, Radiant City, in the secret room of the inner mansion of the head of the house.

Zeng Baoxian and his cronies are alone and sitting here

, silent by default, until Dugu broke the silence, "Boss, although the 'Spring and Autumn Eternal Drunk' has been lost, some of the clues we have before can continue to follow." ”

"For example?"

Zeng Baoxian is in a very bad mood now, although it is a very happy thing to merge a large territory of Luoyingmen, but the "Spring and Autumn Eternal Drunk" that has been inherited to this day is gone, but it makes him annoyed in his heart, you know, this is not an ordinary painting, but it is about an immortal cave mansion, which can be called "immortal" by the elders of the clan, and the cultivation will not be too bad, and the hidden mystery, the value must be expensive, it cannot be simply measured by spirit stones, maybe it will point to the avenue of a higher realm.

This treasure was passed down from the master's father to himself without any additional clues, and it took him several years to only investigate the cave mansion in the west of Chixiamen, and it would not exceed a thousand miles, which is one of the reasons why he decided to develop the sect to the west.

"Do you remember that when Yanqi Ridge was destroyed, the patriarch of a small family asked us for a life-sustaining elixir?"

"There is this. Zeng Baoxian thought about it for a moment, "He was willing to exchange a secret, and at that time, we promised him, but he broke his promise." ”

He didn't break his word, but after he said part of it, he went crazy. ”

"It should be caused by falling into the word and violating the oath of the soul. However, I remember that he provided information about the other three, but then the clues were also broken. You reported at the time that when they heard that the secret was involved, they didn't say anything, even if they used some means, including soul searching, but they couldn't do it. ”

"That's right, later I deliberately tried to make the jailer pretend to be bought and let go of one person, that is, Ye Tianming, the head of the Ye family, trying to use fishing methods to find out more secrets, but unexpectedly, that person committed suicide after returning home, and set a fire to cut off all the clues. ”

"That's the thing?"

After listening to Dugu for so long, Zeng Baoxian was a little impatient, but he knew that Dugu would not casually find him to relieve his boredom, so he faintly suppressed the anger in his heart, he thought that he was not the reckless head of Biyun Sect, Zheng Jiasheng, so he was used to admonishing himself from time to time, not panicking, and maintaining concentration.

"Yes, this secret, I suspect that the secret associated with "Spring and Autumn Drunkenness" is the same, or somewhat related. ”

"What evidence is there?"

"Back then, the head of the Sun family once said that they traveled all the way west......"

"Maybe what they know is an ordinary cave house. Zeng Baoxian subconsciously asked as usual, only in this way can the false be kept from the true, but he immediately thought of it, how could an ordinary cave house cause that person to go crazy just after saying a few words, he didn't wait for Dugu to explain, so he said, "Then continue to investigate deeply, maybe there are still some secrets about this matter in their family, but this time you must be extra careful, don't make the fish die and break the clue completely." ”

"Yes, I've investigated before, and I've been tempting all the time, so don't worry, boss. Dugu nodded and listened to the order, and wondered in his heart how to continue the investigation that had not been concluded before according to the "gentle" method of the master.

"There is one more thing, you cooperate with Baojun to do it. All chambers of commerce in the territory that have our official background and have more than 20 monks must be integrated into three chambers of commerce as soon as possible. Last time in Taoyuan City, I discussed with Qi and Tianlimen, as one of the subsidiary conditions, I have been forced to agree to the Lingcage Chamber of Commerce to enter Chixiamen, and operate the trade route from Huadi Gate in the north, through the Troubled Stone Sea, and to Tianluomen in the south, which is a good thing for us, but the true size of this Chamber of Commerce is not something that the existing Chamber of Commerce in the sect can compete with. Therefore, it is necessary to merge as soon as possible and strengthen the strength in order to compete with them and avoid being defeated by them. ”

"Dugu, what you have to do personally is to get rid of those stubborn guys who only care about their own interests. ”

"Yes. Dugu listened to the order, "Regarding the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, what you want me to investigate, I have already investigated it clearly." This chamber of commerce is actually the Lingyun Chamber of Commerce, the first chamber of commerce of Vantage, and the second chamber of commerce of Tianlimen, the Donglong Chamber of Commerce, which were established many years ago, and moreover, this chamber of commerce does not operate in Vantage Gate and Tianli Gate. ”

"I see!" Zeng Baoxian showed a regretful look on his face, "When we saw a clue before, we should have investigated this matter a long time ago, but now we are passive." ”

"It's hard to escape the blame from my subordinates. ”

"Forget it," Zeng Baoxian smiled, and picked up Dugu, who was about to make a big gift and apologize, "In the world, there are a few people who can really strategize and win thousands of miles, and they are all hustle and bustle, which is nothing more than some fickle villains, showing off after a lucky victory." He leaned back, dismissed Dugu, and thought for a while, not thinking of a more clever way to deal with the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce for the time being, so he exhaled a breath of turbidity and turned into another secret room dedicated to cultivation.

The avenue is important, this is his deeper understanding after discussing with Tianlimen and Qi Guo.

Lizong, Zhenwu City.

Qiu Nanjia secretly investigated for several days, and finally was inspired to send someone to order Ni Dabao, the steward here, to come over to visit, and wanted to do an in-depth investigation, but was told that Ni Dabao was not here, and had left Zhenwu City yesterday.

What? Qiu Nanjia was stunned for a moment.
