Chapter 217 Conspiracy, huge wealth
Xiong Kun did not dare to stay. He endured the severe pain in his organs and stumbled all the way back to Tian Qinghai Station.
When he broke through the door, the Tian Qinghai gang who stayed behind at the station could not help but be shocked.
"Sea Lord!"
"Sea Lord, what's wrong with you?"
"Quickly, bring me the best healing elixir." Xiong Kun yelled.
"yes!"
Someone was running all the way to get some healing medicine. Xiong Kun didn't care about the dosage, so he uncorked the bottle and put it in his mouth and drank it.
After taking a whole bottle of healing medicine, Xiong Kun took a deep breath, then sat on the chair and silently mixed his energy and blood.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of black bruises.
After he finished vomiting, Xiong Kun's heart finally calmed down.
Although all the internal organs have been damaged by the shock, as long as this mouthful of blood congestion is spit out, the problem will not be a big problem, and it will be able to return to normal after a period of time at most.
Despite this, Xiong Kun still had some lingering fears.
Because the power of this punch is really terrifying.
Xiong Kun has been gifted with extraordinary talents since he was a child, and was called by his master as a genius who was born to practice horizontal kung fu.
Especially when he reached the fifth level of Half-step, he was rarely able to match the horizontal kung fu of turning flesh into armor.
Even if he faced the ordinary five realms, Xiong Kun was not afraid at all.
But such a powerful horizontal kung fu was actually destroyed by the Yaksha mask man with just one punch.
One can imagine the inner shock this brought to Xiong Kun.
Could it be that this Yaksha masked man is a hidden master of the Five Realms?
Is He Zhen's death also related to him?
Thinking of this, Xiong Kun couldn't help but shudder.
If that were the case, that would be terrible.
Because this proves that the Sihai Gang has an extremely terrifying opponent.
The key is that the Sihai Gang still knows nothing about this person.
Nothing is more frightening than the unknown.
Xiong Kun's expression changed suddenly, and he suddenly said: "Come, go to Changpingfang and ask Lord Sheng Lian Hua Sheng Hai to come over and tell me that I have news about the Yaksha masked man."
"yes!"
Sheng Lianhua came very quickly, almost as soon as she received the news, she rushed here non-stop.
As soon as she entered the door, her expression changed.
"You are hurt?"
Although Xiong Kun had discharged the congestion from his body at this time, his vitality was severely injured and his face was very pale, so it could be seen at a glance.
"yes."
"Injured by the Yaksha mask man?"
"That's right."
Sheng Lianhua's complexion changed and became very ugly.
In the past few days, she couldn't stop thinking about finding the guy wearing the Yaksha mask and hacking him to death in front of her nephew Bai Zonglin's grave.
But after several searches, nothing was found, as if that person had disappeared from the world.
So when Xiong Kun ordered his men to inform him that he had news about the Yaksha mask man, Sheng Lianhua rushed over immediately.
But he never expected that Xiong Kun would also be injured by the Yaksha mask man. Now the situation would be complicated.
Previously, Sheng Lianhua only thought that this man in the Yaksha mask who appeared out of nowhere was not very strong, and that he was only able to kill so many of his men with the help of poison.
But Xiong Kun's injury proves that this person's strength is absolutely extraordinary.
Because even Sheng Lianhua herself can't guarantee that she can beat Xiong Kun.
"What's going on?" Sheng Lianhua asked slowly after pondering for a moment.
Now that there was nothing to hide, Xiong Kun told the story.
After hearing this, Sheng Lianhua was also horrified.
"You're saying that this Yaksha masked man is probably the one who killed He Zhen?"
"That's right."
"Then what are you waiting for? Report it to the boss immediately." Sheng Lianhua said.
"Haha, report it to the boss?" Xiong Kun sneered and waved his hand.
The servants in the room and the guards all retreated.
After there were only two people left in the room, Xiong Kun said: "Now the big boss is addicted to the so-called elixirs provided by the alchemists and can't extricate himself. He fantasizes about going one step further and opening up his energy channels all day long, and he hardly cares about the big and small affairs of the gang. How can I ask?"
"That is to say, he showed up when He Zhen died and when he was searching for Yaosheng Temple Mo Qi. Have you ever seen him at other times?"
Sheng Lianhua shook her head, "No."
"Still, even if this matter is reported, the result will be nothing more than for our three families to jointly arrest this person. But today's battle made me realize that I must not easily become an enemy of this person."
"Otherwise, He Zhen will serve as a lesson for us."
Sheng Lianhua looked a little ugly, but she had to admit that what Xiong Kun said was true.
If this Yaksha mask man is so powerful, then he should not think about avenging his nephew.
"Then what do you mean? Just forget it?"
"Of course you can't forget it. In fact, this is exactly why I asked you to come."
Speaking of this, Xiong Kun suddenly laughed.
"How do you feel after He Zhen died this time?"
Sheng Lianhua was silent for a moment, "It feels great."
It's really cool.
Because of He Zhen's death, the Bronze Sea was leaderless, and the head of the family, Huang Fuzhen, was indifferent to this.
So the three families divided the Bronze Sea among themselves.
"Then do you want to have fun again?"
"What do you mean?" Sheng Lianhua asked.
Xiong Kun said calmly: "Lang Songbai from Qingjinghai is young and has greater potential than us. It's nothing now, but in two years, do you think we can still suppress him?"
Sheng Lianhua suddenly realized.
"So what you mean is..."
"To divert trouble to the east, find a way to make Lang Songbai confront the Yaksha masked man. Once he dies, only you and me will be left in the Sihai Gang. If the boss doesn't do anything, won't it be up to us to have the final say?" Xiong Kunyin smiled.
Sheng Lianhua was really moved.
"But will the boss...will agree?"
"Haha, as long as the income handed over by the Sihai Gang every year remains unchanged, the master, the Xuanyang Sect and the major families behind him will not care about this."
"But if Lang Songbai is really going to die, won't the man in the Yaksha mask continue to attack us?"
"I thought about it carefully and found that except for He Zhen who died outside, this Yaksha mask man has never taken the initiative to attack us, so if we give in when the time comes, at the most we can give him an extra share of the dividend and we'll end it, right?" I don’t believe there are people in this world who cannot be bought with benefits.”
Looking at Xiong Kun with a determined look on his face, Sheng Lianhua suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Because this man, who was as tall as a black bear, was so sinister and vicious inside.
Lang Songbai was sold in a few words.
If I treat myself like this in the future...
As if aware of Sheng Lianhua's inner concerns, Xiong Kun smiled.
"Don't worry, there is no conflict of interest between you and me. The Yanzhihai you control relies on the prostitutes and prostitutes in Changpingfang, and I rely on the tributes from major chambers of commerce. We have no boundaries with each other, so the relationship between us is There is a basis for cooperation.”
Sheng Lianhua was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, it's settled."
Xiong Kun smiled brightly and said, "It's a deal."
Just as Xiong Kun and Sheng Lianhua reached an agreement and plotted how to deal with Lang Songbai.
Zhao Ya has returned home.
Zui'er naturally knew nothing about these things happening in the outside world.
Only Shang Luoluo vaguely noticed something, but did not ask any questions.
Shang Jingchuan did not come back during dinner. Instead, he ordered his subordinates to come back with a message, saying that he was going to dinner with some classmates and friends.
This has been the norm lately.
As he became more and more favored in the court, Shang Jingchuan finally got rid of the cold shoulder and became a hot celebrity in the eyes of many people.
Zhao Ya was already used to this.
So Zhao Ya, Shang Luoluo and Zui'er had this dinner together.
After dinner, Zui'er excitedly went to study her favorite juice.
Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo were drinking tea and chatting in the courtyard, talking about what happened during the day.
Zhao Ya basically didn't hide anything from Shang Luoluo, because he knew that even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
This girl is not as stupid as Zui'er. On the contrary, she is extremely smart.
He could figure out everything based on just a few clues, so Zhao Ya simply told them all.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Ya took out the key and handed it to Shang Luoluo.
"See if you can find anything."
Shang Luoluo reached out and took it. After looking at it carefully for a long time, he couldn't help but frown.
"There are really few things to pay attention to. Apart from these two engraved words, the only thing worthy of attention is that this key has an exquisite shape and its surface has been carefully polished. It is obviously not an ordinary object."
"Combined with this strange number, it proves that this key cannot be the same. This always gives people a strong sense of déjà vu..."
Shang Luoluo fell into deep thought.
Zhao Ya was also touched, frowning and thinking.
Yes, what kind of place would have so many exquisitely polished keys?
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and then Shang Jingchuan was seen staggering in.
Before he even got close, Shang Luoluo was already frowning at the strong smell of alcohol hitting his face.
"The smell of alcohol is so strong, how much have you drank?" Shang Luoluo said helplessly.
Shang Jingchuan chuckled, burped and said, "Isn't this a gathering of some classmates and friends who haven't seen each other for many years? I drank two more drinks out of excitement."
After saying that, he sat down on the stone bench, breathing heavily.
Shang Luoluo was angry and helpless, so he could only turn around and go to the kitchen to serve Shang Jingchuan sobering soup.
But at this moment, Shang Jingchuan suddenly saw the key on the table.
"Hey, Xiaoya, have you been to Spring Soup Restaurant too?"
"Spring Soup House?"
Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo asked in unison.
"Yes, isn't this the key to Spring Soup House? It's cabinet No. 7 in Tianzi. It's not cheap."
Shang Jingchuan played with the key in his hand and said casually.
Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
It was hard to find anywhere, and it took no effort to get it. Unexpectedly, the two of them thought hard and couldn't guess the origin of the key, but Shang Jingchuan finally revealed it.
"Uncle Shang, thank you very much."
Zhao Ya thanked him, reached for the key, turned around and left.
"Hey, Xiaoya, what are you doing? If you want to go to the spring soup restaurant, why don't you take me with you? I haven't been there for a while."
Under the stimulation of alcohol, Shang Jingchuan lost his usual sophistication and started shouting loudly.
Shang Luoluo grabbed him, forced him down on the stool, and then said helplessly: "Okay, father, stop shouting. Isn't it a shame? If others hear it, they will think something happened to our family."
Shang Jingchuan suddenly became quiet and did not dare to shout anymore. He could only ask in a low voice.
"Okay, okay, I won't yell anymore. My dear girl, bring me a bowl of hangover soup. I'm going to die of thirst."
"Sit tight and don't talk. I'll serve it to you right now." Shang Luoluo said with a straight face.
Shang Jingchuan nodded vigorously and did not dare to say another word.
Shang Jingchuan had a certain respect for his daughter.
At the same time, Zhao Ya had arrived at Changpingfang.
Spring Bathhouse, the name sounds very noble, but it is actually a bathhouse.
Together with summer flowers, autumn fruits, and winter snow, it is collectively known as the Garden of the Four Seasons. It is the top brothel in Changping Square and a veritable gold-selling cave.
When Zhao Ya arrived at the gate of Four Seasons Garden, it was a lively time with guests filling the door.
This shows that the Four Seasons Garden is extraordinary, because the people responsible for guiding the guests in front of the door are actually young women.
When Zhao Ya walked up the steps, a woman immediately came up to him quickly.
"This young master, may I ask who you are..."
Without waiting for the woman to finish speaking, Zhao Ya said directly: "Go to the Spring Soup Restaurant."
"Okay, please follow me."
The woman immediately led Zhao Ya inside.
After walking around a rockery and a bamboo forest, the view suddenly opened up.
This spring soup restaurant is actually built directly on a hot spring.
Although the weather is getting warmer now, there are not many people coming to bathe.
At this time, someone stepped forward to replace the woman, and then led Zhao Ya inside.
"Sir, I see you are a bit unfamiliar. You haven't been here before." The woman leading the way chatted with him as he walked.
Zhao Ya responded casually, but his eyes kept flashing at the beautifully decorated compartments passing by.
Because he noticed that these compartments had numbers written on them.
Starting from Ding Shiba, they are arranged in order.
"What are those?" Zhao Ya asked, pointing to these compartments.
"They are all prepared for wealthy customers who are willing to spend money. Opening a compartment like that is very valuable."
Zhao Ya nodded.
"Master, since this is your first time here, why not let the slave family serve you. I guarantee that you will spend less money and be happy." The woman looked at Zhao Ya with charming eyes, feeling a little happy in her heart.
Compared to those fat-bellied wealthy business officials, she was more willing to serve a handsome young man like Zhao Ya, even if she made less money.
But Zhao Ya just shook his head and pointed.
"Open this compartment for me."
The compartment Zhao Ya pointed to was Tianzi No. 8, and not far away was Tianzi No. 7.
The woman was stunned.
"Young master, the title of Tianzi costs a lot of money..."
"Are these enough?" Zhao Ya handed over a one hundred tael silver note.
Now Zhao Ya doesn't have much else but this stuff.
The woman immediately shut her mouth, not daring to promote herself anymore, and quickly took the banknote.
"Wait a moment, I'll prepare it for you right away."
Soon, after waiting for only about a minute, the woman respectfully led Zhao Ya to Tianzi No. 8 and opened the door for him.
"Sir, please come in."
Zhao Ya stepped into it and saw that it was extremely luxuriously decorated. There were also pools dug in the key areas, filled with a steady stream of hot spring water.
"Go down, I'm a little tired, let's take a rest first!"
"Yes, if you have any questions, just call me anytime."
The woman bowed her head and left.
After he was the only one left in the room, Zhao Ya came to the wall connected to Tianzi No. 7 and pressed it with his hands. He found that it was all solid and frowned.
Although the wall could be blasted open with one punch, Zhao Ya decided not to make too much noise in order to deceive others.
He didn't even use the key, just to prevent clues from being discovered when he was traced in the future.
Zhao Ya looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Although the compartments are blocked by walls, there is a gap at the top. Although it is very high and the gap is very narrow, it is not difficult for Zhao Ya at all.
Zhao Ya jumped over and reached the top of the wall. He put his hand on it lightly, and then he wormed his way through like a loach.
After landing, the layout of this compartment is basically the same.
It was just that the lights were not on, so it looked a little dim.
Zhao Ya began to explore and soon found an exquisite cabinet.
The cabinet was locked. Zhao Ya inserted the key into the keyhole and twisted it gently.
There was a bang, and the sound of the machine spring failing came from the cabinet.
Zhao Ya knew that this cabinet was obviously specially designed. If it was forcibly opened, the contents inside would self-destruct instantly.
This couldn't help but make Zhao Ya full of expectations.
Being treated so seriously by He Zhen shows how important the things in the cabinet are.
After opening the cabinet door, the first thing that caught the eye was a thick stack of gold tickets.
After a brief inventory, Zhao Ya discovered that these gold tickets were at least one hundred thousand taels.
This was a huge amount of wealth, but Zhao Ya just put it aside and continued to look at the contents.
Soon, he took out another small box from inside.
After opening the box, even Zhao Ya couldn't help but be moved.
Because inside the box, there was a bead the size of a lychee, and it exuded an extremely strong medicinal fragrance.
