Chapter 207 Yunluo Lake
"From what Uncle Master said, you will definitely not come forward to replace Pang Qiwei. Moreover, Uncle Master is so young and has never shown any talent before. If you suddenly appear and kill Pang Qiwei, and then take his place, it will be difficult not to arouse suspicion. If things go wrong, others will think that it is the Golden Sword Sect behind the scenes who is trying to seize Fangqiao County, which will be more troublesome.
But if the uncle didn't show up, even though Zuo Le and Zheng Xinghan from Shuiyue Villa were already Huajin martial artists, there would be no reasonable explanation for the capture of the Senluo Gang, the people from Youhu Hall, and the killing of Pang Qiwei. Without a reasonable explanation, I can't convince the judge to believe in me, and the governor's office in the state capital will definitely not let it go. "After a long time, Jin Yichen came to his senses and analyzed calmly.
Looking at Jin Yichen's calm analysis, Qin Ziling nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are right. The reason why I went to such great lengths to deal with this matter is that I want to leave no trace and take over Fangqiao County smoothly."
"But this is very difficult! Pang Qiwei is a great bone refining martial artist. In the entire Fangliao County, only you, uncle, have the ability to kill him." Jin Yichen said in a deep voice.
"No, there is another person, Xiao Qing from the Xiao family." Qin Ziling said lightly.
"Xiao Qing? The talented woman of the Xiao family! I heard some time ago that she has recovered her strength, but..." Jin Yichen was shocked when he heard this and blurted out.
"She is already a great martial artist at the Bone Refining Realm, and her foundation is much more solid than Pang Qiwei's. She has the ability to kill him." Qin Ziling interrupted.
Jin Yichen was stunned on the spot.
After a long time, Jin Yichen finally came to his senses. He swallowed hard and said with great emotion: "If I remember correctly, Miss Xiao Qing is only 25 years old this year. I didn't expect that she not only recovered her strength, but also broke through and stood up again, becoming a great martial artist in the bone refining realm. Her talent is nothing compared to Pang Tianpeng. Even if she was in the state capital, she would be a top genius!"
"With her coming forward , there should be no problem on your side, right?" Qin Ziling asked.
"In Fangqiao City, the Xiao family is actually inferior to the Pang family in terms of foundation and resources. However, since the old man of the Xiao family was killed by the Netherworld Cult, Xiao Qing was deposed, and then several of his descendants were killed in succession. This led to the rapid decline of the Xiao family, and the Pang family became the only one in power.
Now Xiao Qing, the talented woman of the Xiao family, has come back and made a stunning debut. The five water ghosts of the Senluo Gang have been caught in one fell swoop, which has led to the exposure of many collusion and evil deeds of the Netherworld Sect and the Pang family. And with the Xiao family's heritage and prestige in Fangqiao City, it is also reasonable for the Xiao family to take over the vacant position of the Pang family. It's just that this Xiao Qing..." Speaking of the latter, Jin Yichen showed a hint of inquiry.
"She is mine!" Qin Ziling interrupted indifferently.
Jin Yichen was shocked when he heard the words, and his heart felt like a huge wave .
This uncle-master is so powerful. No wonder the sect leader wants me to obey him. It seems that the sect leader has formed an alliance with this uncle-master!
"Disciple will fully cooperate with Miss Xiao Qing, and will also report the situation here to the judge one by one!" Soon, Jin Yichen stood up and bowed to Qin Ziling with a serious face.
"Okay! You are the one in charge of Gou Mansion, and you have more experience than me in many things. Next, you will discuss and cooperate with the Xiao family and the left owner of Shuiyue Villa. From now on, I am an outsider and will not act rashly." Qin Ziling stood up and said.
"Uncle Master, don't worry. I know what to do." Jin Yichen bowed again, with a look of confidence on his face.
"Zuo Le is my master, so you should be careful about your attitude . Of course, you are a disciple of the Golden Sword Sect, so we should treat each other as friends, and you don't have to deliberately cater to him and please him."
After Qin Ziling finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Jin Yichen stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
…
Two days later, Yunluo Lake was shrouded in mist and rain.
The islands appear and disappear in the mist and rain, and from afar they look like a fairyland.
But everyone in Fangqiao County knew that Yunluo Lake was a dangerous place.
Not only are there bandits hiding on some islands, but many of them are also infested with all kinds of poisonous snakes and insects.
The area around Yunluo Lake is full of reeds and swamps. If you are not a local living here, you will most likely get lost once you enter. Once you get stuck in the swamps, you will quickly be swallowed up.
To the west of Yunluo Lake, there are more than 20 islands of various sizes scattered on the lake surface four or five miles away from the shore.
The harbors between the islands crisscross like the interlocking teeth of a monster.
This group of islands is covered with lush forests. On one of the islands there is a verdant mountain over 200 meters high, from which one can overlook Yunluo Lake.
On the top of the mountain, in a viewing pavilion hidden among the pines and cypresses, there stood a woman and three men with their hands behind their backs.
The woman was tall and had a cool temperament. It was Xiao Qing.
There were three men, one was Zuo Le, one was Jin Yichen, and the other was an old man.
The old man had a goatee, wore fine clothes, and had a dignified demeanor.
The four of them stood quietly in the pavilion, gazing at the misty lake.
"Lord Wei, they are here!" Xiao Qing suddenly spoke.
Sure enough, not long after Xiao Qing finished speaking, the sound of paddling could be heard faintly from the lake in the distance, and then several small boats sailed out from the lake shrouded in rain and fog.
The old man tilted his head to look at Xiao Qing, a hint of shock flashing in the depths of his eyes.
The old man's name is Wei Yufu, one of the eight inspectors of the Xiyunzhou Magistrate's Office. His main responsibility is to inspect the counties under the jurisdiction of Xiyunzhou on behalf of the judge.
After Jin Yichen used the Sitianjian's special communication method to report to the Judge's Office that Fangliao County Magistrate Pang Qiwei was secretly cultivating bandits and colluding with the Netherworld Cult, the Judge's Office immediately sent Inspector Wei Yufu.
Wei Yufu is a veteran Qi Refining master who has reached the initial stage of Zhen Yuan. His Zhen Yuan is so condensed and strong that he is only a little away from breaking through to the initial stage of Zhen Yuan. People in the Qi Refining School are also generally very sensitive to the changes in the Qi of heaven and earth.
As a result, Xiao Qing actually sensed someone coming before him. How could Wei Yufu not be shocked?
"The Xiao family has indeed produced a talented woman! She has already reached the bone refining realm at the age of 25. Even in the state capital, she is a first-class genius. If Pang Qiwei's evidence of guilt is proven correct this time, even Pang Zhiyuan will probably be implicated and will definitely not be able to interfere in Fangqiao County again.
Once the Pang family leaves, the Xiao family is a prominent local family, and there is such a young martial artist in charge. Moreover, the Xiao family has also made great contributions this time. I am afraid that Fangqiao County will be named Xiao in the future! "After being shocked, Wei Yufu had many thoughts in his mind for a while, and his eyes looking at Xiao Qing became more and more different.
"Lord Wei, Master Zuo, Miss Xiao, should we go down?" Jin Yichen reminded as he saw the boat approaching.
"Go down." Wei Yufu nodded, and then warned with a serious look: "The people of the Netherworld Cult have poison in their mouths. Once they are defeated and captured, they will commit suicide by taking poison. So when you go down later, you must be careful when you attack, and don't give them the opportunity to commit suicide by taking poison. And the head of the Nether Fox Hall is a great martial artist in the early stage of bone refining. You must also be careful later, and don't let her escape."
"Yes!" Xiao Qing and others replied solemnly.
