Wen Xiang had a gloomy look on his face and his chest rose and fell slightly, obviously suppressing the anger in his heart.
"What happened?" Nie Tian asked calmly, looking towards the valley.
Wen Xiang did not explain, but led Nie Tian and others into the valley.
The valley is not big, with a radius of only ten meters. It is very neatly kept, with no rocks or grass. It looks like a secluded courtyard.
In the center of the valley, there is a pool of water, which does not look deep. There is a layer of thick green mist floating on the water, releasing a strong medicinal smell and filling the entire valley.
It is obvious that this is a medicine pool. Judging from the smell, the medicine pool contains extremely rich life force.
"Senior Wen Hou retreated in this medicine pool?" Nie Tian looked at the entire valley and immediately understood, and asked.
"Yes." Wen Xiang nodded and said, "Before, my father was indeed in retreat in the medicine pool, but now, he has disappeared."
Nie Tian's eyes dropped. Wen Hou must have been in danger because his lifeline was destroyed. Therefore, he had to continuously absorb the life force in the medicine pool in order to barely survive.
The cost of building this medicinal pool is high, and if it is maintained for tens of thousands of years, it will definitely overwhelm the Wen family.
But compared to these costs, Wen Hou's life is obviously more important.
"Master Wen, can you confirm when Senior Wen Hou disappeared?" Nie Tian thought for a moment and asked.
"Today." Wen Xiang nodded solemnly, his eyes trembling slightly, and said, "To be precise, it should be just now."
"Just now?" Nie Tian's eyes trembled, he was quite surprised, and said, "Are you sure?" Wen Xiang nodded heavily and said, "Although my father has been in seclusion for a long time, I have always been very careful and come here to check almost every day. Because it was decided yesterday that I would ask my father to leave the customs. So I came here to check it out last night. At that time
My father is still here. "
As he said that, Wen Xiang looked at Wen Chengjiao and continued: "This morning, I came to check again and made sure that my father was fine. Then I went to the lobby and asked Uncle Chengjiao to ask my father to come out of seclusion."
"The master of the family asked me to come to invite the master of the family to come out of seclusion. I didn't delay at all and came over immediately. But when I arrived, the master of the family was gone." Wen Chengjiao said after Wen Xiang's words.
After hearing what the two said, Nie Tian's expression changed slightly and he said in a deep voice, "So, Senior Wen Hou disappeared during the free time when both of you were away."
"Yes." Wen Xiang nodded and sighed deeply: "It won't take more than half an hour."
"Then is Senior Wen Hou still in this secret place?" Nie Tian's eyes trembled and he let out a sound of surprise, as if he had thought of something.
"It's possible!" Wen Xiang suddenly understood, shouted, turned around and said: "Uncle Chengjiao, please quickly inform the family council of elders and ask them to send someone to the secret place."
"Yes!" Wen Chengjiao agreed and turned to leave, but was stopped by Nie Tian.
"Lord Fenghuang, what are you..." Wen Chengjiao frowned and looked at Nie Tian with a puzzled expression.
Nie Tian thought about it for a moment, and without any hesitation, he said directly to Wen Lun: "Wen Lun, you go with the housekeeper."
Wen Lun was stunned for a moment, then understood what Nie Tian meant. Although he was a little reluctant, he nodded.
The two of them left without further delay.
"Lord Fenghuang, do you doubt Uncle Chengjiao?" Wen Xiang looked at the two people's disappearing figures, frowning and saying with a low expression.
How could he not see that Nie Tian asked Wen Lun to go with him because he obviously did not trust Wen Chengjiao.
"He was the first person to discover that Senior Wen Hou was missing. If Senior Wen Hou really had an accident or was kidnapped, he would undoubtedly be the most suspect." Nie Tian said coldly with a serious look on his face.
Wen Xiang frowned, his face was very ugly, but he didn't know what to say.
The thing happened so suddenly, he was indeed a little panicked just now.
If Wen Hou was kidnapped, he should still be in the secret place at this time, at least he has not left Wen's house. "Senior Wen Hou is retreating here. Very few people know about it. Moreover, the secret place is protected by multiple formations. Anyone who can enter the secret place quietly must be a member of the Wen family, and his status will not be low!" Nie Regardless of Wen Xiang's expression, Tian said solemnly
road.
Wen Xiang's eyes trembled, and his expression changed again and again.
Even though he doesn't want to believe it, he must admit that there must be a mole in the Wen family!
As Nie Tian said, in the entire Wen Mansion, there are no more than ten people who can enter the secret place silently.
"We just confirmed yesterday that we will ask Senior Wen Hou to come out of seclusion today. Senior Wen Hou disappeared today. Does the Wen family think this is just a coincidence?" Nie Tian's eyes were downcast, with cold murderous intent surging in his eyes.
What he hated most in his life were traitors, and he wished he could kill every one of them on sight.
Although Wen Xiang was very reluctant, he still nodded.
Yesterday in the lobby, apart from Nie Tian and others, the only people in the Wen family were Wen Xiang, Wen Chengjiao and Wen Lun, as well as Wen Lun's two maids, Lan Qing Lan Che.
Nie Tian and others were also suspected of Wen Hou's disappearance, but it was obviously impossible for them to enter Wen's secret place unnoticed.
Moreover, Nie Tian and others did not know where Wen Hou was retreating.
As a result, the Wen family members become more suspicious.
Wen Lun and Lan Qing Lan Che also couldn't enter the secret place, and they didn't have any motive.
After doing this calculation, only Wen Xiang and Wen Chengjiao were left.
Wen Xiang is the head of the Wen family and the son of Marquis Wen, so there is no way he could betray him.
So, it is clear who the traitor is.
"Could it really be Uncle Chengjiao?" Wen Xiang had obviously figured everything out, his eyes trembling slightly in disbelief.
Wen Chengjiao has been one of the most important people in the Wen family since Marquis Wen took charge of the Wen family.
In a certain aspect, Wen Chengjiao was even more important than Wen Hou. After all, he had been the butler of two generations of family heads.
Wen Xiang believed that neither he nor his father had ever been sorry to Wen Chengjiao, so why did the latter do such a thing.
"Master Wen, it's too early to draw conclusions now," Nie Tian said calmly, of course knowing what Wen Xiang was thinking.
Then, Nie Tian looked at Fan Zhong and said after a long time: "Fan Zhong, I have said that I will not hold anything against you for what you have done before. But I hope that you can confess."
Fan Zhong looked embarrassed and remained silent for a few seconds before finally saying, "Lord Fenghuang, my subordinate did have transactions with people from the Guiya Sect."
Nie Tian nodded slightly, not too surprised, and motioned for Fan Zhong to continue speaking.
In fact, when he was in the Fengtian Ming Sect, Nie Tian had already confirmed that Fan Zhong must have some kind of deal with the Guiya Sect, otherwise the latter would not have the intention to kill him.
At this time, Fan Zhong had surrendered, and Nie Tian originally did not want to pursue the case, but at this time, such a big incident happened to the Wen family, so Nie Tian had to suspect the Gui Ya Sect.
Since Fan Zhong has some contact with the Guiya Sect, he might be able to get some information from him.
Fan Zhong took a deep breath and was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by a scream.
"Second uncle, come quickly!" The scream came from not far away, and it turned out to be Wen Lun's voice. The expressions of Wen Xiang and others changed, and their figures moved together.
