Volume 3: Evil Ghosts Eat People Chapter 199: The Blind Man
Half an hour later, Xu Zun had finished interrogating the rebels.
Like the Tan Gang, the rebels of the Sanhe Gang were also led by several powerful leaders who had already signed an alliance.
However, their plan did not include letting Li Ronger die at the hands of the evil spirit.
Because that would be equal, all the major gangs would suffer the same fate and naturally there would be no disputes.
But if Li Ronger was fine, then the criticism would naturally shift to Li Ronger.
Other gang leaders are dead, but you, Li Ronger, are fine, so it is possible that you, Li Ronger, did this.
After the incident, conflicts are bound to arise among the major gangs. When they find the right opportunity, these rebels lurking in the Sanhe Gang will take action to stir up conflicts, and the Yonghui chaos will be imminent.
After interrogation, the rebels of the Sanhe Gang also claimed that they were also instructed by the mysterious man with a hoarse voice.
The mysterious man also promised them a large amount of money and future gang status.
It's obvious that all these people have been taken advantage of!
They only thought that sabotage was for the sake of money and future advancement, but they had no idea how big a crisis was hidden behind this conspiracy.
Xu Zun felt that the mysterious man with the hoarse voice might be a person of a higher level than Wanqi Feng.
This person is the real dangerous element!
Perhaps, Wanqi Feng's threats against him were not just empty talk, and this mysterious man might still stir up trouble.
At this moment, Xu Zun was standing on the steps outside the Guanlan Hall, pacing back and forth while thinking about the whole case.
"Sir," Zhao Yu reported at this time, "We have searched all the bodies and did not find the mysterious man. Most likely he ran away!"
"Hmm..." Xu Zun nodded. He had expected this. How could such an important person die so easily?
"Boss Li's injury is not life-threatening," Zhao Yu added, "Huo Anu and Ani are taking care of him, so he should be fine."
"Then..." Xu Zun asked, "Have you seen Ku Niang?"
Zhao Yu shook his head and opened his mouth, wanting to ask if Wanqi Feng was beaten by Ku Niang, but the words did not come out.
Because Ku Niang itself is a taboo, it is not convenient to mention it at this moment.
Xu Zun was not worried at all. Ku Niang was an excellent martial artist and she probably just didn't want to show up in public.
Since she promised to protect me for three months, she naturally wouldn't leave without saying goodbye.
Besides, even if he left without saying goodbye, who could stop him?
"Sir," Zhao Yu asked, changing the subject, "I see you still have doubts, right... this evil ghost case has not been completely solved?"
"What do you think?" Xu Zun glanced at Zhao Yu, and it was obvious that Zhao Yu was asking the question even though he knew the answer.
"Yes," Zhao Yu said, "Wanqi Feng is the head of Zishan Sect. He wrote and acted out a drama of being eaten by ghosts and even killed all his own disciples. It's so unreasonable!"
"Really?" Xu Zun narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Yu, "Don't tell me that you only saw this layer!"
"Sir, you...what are you talking about?" Zhao Yu scratched his head, "How can I be as far-sighted as you? What I don't understand the most is why Wanqi Feng and others did this? What good will it do for them to mess up Yonghui?"
"Well," Xu Zun finally nodded, "That's about right! I heard Li Ronger say before that because of the Ruan family in Xiazhou, troops cannot be stationed in Yonghui.
"I was thinking..." Xu Zun pondered, "Is it possible that Wanqi Feng and others caused chaos in Yonghui City in order to force the court to send troops to Yonghui, and in this way..."
"No way?" Zhao Yu was shocked, "If that's the case, it would be another major case involving treason and rebellion!
"Master Xu, have we all been enlightened? Last time we investigated a case in Shangyuan City, we found out the Xuanmen rebels. Now we are in Yonghui City, and they are making things worse again!?"
"But..." Xu Zun frowned and shook his head, "There are some things I still can't understand."
"Sir," Zhao Yu put his hands together, "I hope you are wrong. Please don't do such a big thing again! It's not good to always hang your life by a thread..."
"I was thinking..." Xu Zun ignored him and expressed his doubts, "Wanqi Feng and the mysterious man have been planning this operation for a long time, and have arranged insiders in all the major gangs, and the strength of the insiders is not low.
"With their abilities, if they really want to cause chaos in Yonghui City, aren't there many simpler and more effective ways?"
"Well... it's true," Zhao Yu said, "create conflicts, assassinations, conspiracies, destroy the place, and then fan the flames. Anyway, I have people in every gang, so it's really not a particularly difficult thing to do...
"Besides, Wanqi Feng is the head of the sect. Can't he just lead his people to kill everyone?"
"But..." Xu Zun said, "They chose to use such a laborious method as the evil ghosts eating people, so... do they have other purposes?"
"Sir," Zhao Yu asked, "you just said there are some things you can't figure out. Is there anything else besides this?"
"Yes," Xu Zun said, pinching his chin, "The most important point is, why did the Queen Mother send me to Yonghui?"
"Didn't you get sent here to solve the evil ghost case and investigate the iron coffin?" Zhao Yu asked.
Xu Zun slowly shook his head, feeling more and more that this matter was not that simple.
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun thought for a moment and said, "Where is Zhuang Jingcheng now?"
"He's dealing with Wanqi Peak's affairs in the back! Tsk tsk..." Hearing this, Zhao Yu remembered something and smacked his lips and said, "Sir, please talk to Ku Niang when you have a chance. My eyelids are twitching all the time. I always feel that... that person is coming soon!"
Xu Zun understood Zhao Yu’s worries. Now that Wanqi Feng committed suicide in Guanlan Palace, the blame would naturally be placed on Xu Zun.
Yue Jinglei is Wanqi Peak’s sworn brother. If he really comes looking for him, it would be difficult to deal with him.
However, Xu Zun's mind was full of cases and he had no time to be distracted by this matter. He immediately said to Zhao Yu: "Please invite Zhuang Jingcheng over. I have something to ask him!"
"Okay!" Zhao Yu agreed and turned to leave.
"Oh, right," Xu Zun recalled something and asked hurriedly, "The people from the Tan Gang said before that Hua Shi's second son was studying martial arts at the Bi Hai Palace in Shuzhou. Why were you so surprised at that time?"
"This..." Zhao Yu said unnaturally, "It seems that you are really ignorant of the world! You don't even know the top ten masters, so it's understandable that you don't know about the Jade Sea Palace."
"Stop talking so much nonsense!" Xu Zun urged.
"The Jade Sea Palace is a place beyond the ordinary world in the martial arts world," Zhao Yu explained, "because the Jade Sea Master of the Jade Sea Palace once taught two disciples, and both of them were ranked among the top ten masters of Daxuan.
"If the second son of this flower corpse is really learning martial arts in the Jade Sea Palace, then he is at least the nephew of these two masters of the world. Don't you think he is amazing?"
"What a mess," Xu Zun waved his hand, "Go and call for help!"
Zhao Yu had no choice but to turn around and leave.
It's not that Xu Zun is uninterested in this underworld information, but the case is important and he doesn't have time to learn about it in detail.
However, sometimes you really have to understand it. Xu Zun discovered that the martial arts in this great mysterious world were far beyond his imagination.
As the saying goes, there are always people better than you.
From fourth in Tangzhou to top ten in Daxuan, the martial arts and abilities of these masters refreshed his cognition time and time again, forcing him to pay attention.
For example, Wanqi Feng had unparalleled martial arts skills but was still defeated by Ku Niang. But she didn’t know that Yue Jinglei really came. Could Ku Niang still handle it?
