"All dead? Where are the bodies?"
"It was burned into charcoal, and it was impossible to identify it. According to the confessions that were interrogated by the people from the Yamen, there was nothing unusual before the fire that night, and no one came over. And it was late at night, and the watchman had just left. Here It just happened. It was a slip-up, it was an accident."
"Accident? Huh! Do you believe this statement? Although the Xu family members are not of high rank, they are still members of the family and have good skills. Can a fourth or fifth rank warrior be locked up in a room and burned alive? They were all killed. It's more or less the same after the poison is overturned. This thing can't be an accident, it can only be someone secretly murdering people, but they do it quickly and cruelly, so that no one can see any flaws for the time being. "
"I think this little flaw is the biggest flaw."
"What's the meaning?"
"Haha. What do you mean? Are you asking questions knowingly? It was only at noon yesterday that the Xu family laid out the clues they had found and asked the Liao family why they had killed several people who went to the company's mold warehouse the night before. They were all killed that night. None of them ran out. And they killed them cleanly, leaving no trace. No matter how you look at it, this sounds like "learning a lesson and eradicating the roots."
Aren’t we all thinking the same thing when we gathered here early this morning? "
It was still in a teahouse in the industrial park. This place used to be a restaurant and belonged to the Knife House industry. Later, when the alcohol industry was banned, it was immediately converted into a teahouse. The wing room remains the same, and it can be regarded as a place for some distinguished people to discuss matters.
At this time, there were six people sitting in the second floor room of the teahouse, divided into two groups. At this time, the words were tested for a while before being pulled into the main topic.
It is impossible to say that I was not frightened. The Xu family has the fewest people coming this time. Although it is lacking in strength, the family power behind it is actually not much different from the other three families. But now it's fine, they're all dead.
In other words, if the perpetrator had the guts to kill the Xu family without leaving any survivors, he must also have the guts to kill the remaining members of their family.
It is said that there are "a few", but in fact it is only two. The only thing missing was the presence of the Liao family.
"Haha, that's true. Since everyone is sitting here, there is no need to hide it. Let's just talk about our opinions, right?"
"Opinion? Shouldn't it be a countermeasure? Either join forces, or everyone should stop doing it and overturn the table. Does the Liao family really think that we are afraid of us if they are so domineering?"
"Hey, the Liao family's voice in the temple has become louder now. Many powerful ministers wear the same pants as them. Now they really have the capital to show off their power. Unless their plan to arm Tianfeng Plain fails. , otherwise we’d better stay out of the way for the time being.”
"Temporarily avoid the enemy? Then your family should withdraw from Yongchuan City now. Wouldn't this completely avoid it? By then our family will most likely suffer some losses and give up all members of your family and the Xu family who have died. That's the Liao family. In this way, this matter can be settled smoothly. What do you think?"
"Is it interesting that you still want to twist my words now?"
"Of course it's interesting! Your family has always been cautious in doing things, both in the temple and on the stage. The Liao family has become murderous, and you are still here indecisive. Are you still planning to "have a good talk"? ? Do you think the Liao family should be satisfied if they become part of the Xu family? Are you just going to protect yourself and pretend not to see the rest?
So in today’s gathering, let’s talk about nothing else but how you plan to leave. If you can cooperate, then cooperate. If not, then don't waste each other's time. If your family likes to kneel down and kowtow when meeting others, you can go it alone, and we will find another way. "
"Wang, what do you mean by this? We are all members of the same faction. If your family likes barbaric behavior, that is your business. Being a barbarian is just your own ugliness. Don't think about making others be as uncivilized as you. . How to deal with the Liao family is not your turn to make noise!"
This is not a situation of working together to seek benefits. There are also many things they dislike about each other. Especially in the family's principles of dealing with things, some prefer to be brave and diligent, while others like to play both sides and act as good guys, so it is naturally impossible to reach an agreement now that they meet each other. They couldn't even talk for a few words, and their conflicts became even more obvious. They slapped the table with anger.
The final result can only be an unhappy separation.
The waiters in the teahouse didn't even have to put their ears close, they could faintly hear the yelling and cursing in the next room. When he finally left the house, his kick almost cracked the door of the wing.
After that, no matter how much the two major iron and steel companies in the industrial park said they wanted to sell their shares, no one came to talk to them. Everything we talked about before was put on hold for the time being.
Not only were the businessmen on hold and could no longer talk about it, but all the troubles that had been almost non-stop in the firm before had also stopped. Finally no one came to destroy the blast furnace. All kinds of materials and equipment in the warehouse were finally destroyed without breaking out every now and then.
The two companies immediately worked hard and worked overtime in three shifts to ship goods. I want to make up for as much of the later cargo orders as possible to reduce losses, and at the same time I also want to revive the reputation of some of my own businesses.
This change is very obvious. Not only did the people who knew or participated in it have their own thoughts, which caused the industrial park to suddenly "return to the same state as before", even ordinary people who did not know the direction of the incident clearly felt that the industrial park was in a state of chaos. The enthusiasm seems to be back.
The happiest people were undoubtedly the Zhou and Hou families who smelted iron and made iron. They had already been desperate before, and even asking Bailang to come to him did not mean that they had high hopes, but more that they were trying to treat a dead horse as a live doctor. But the results came so quickly and so gratifyingly.
However, the Zhou and Hou families also understand that now is not the time to feel completely relieved. There are bound to be variables ahead, but now at most I can breathe a sigh of relief.
In Ma Sheng Alley, it is not close to the industrial park, but it is a key place that directly affects the situation of the industrial park. But very few people know about it.
Bailang looked at the message handed over to him. It showed the movements of the remaining three companies in the industrial park over the past two days. Two of them met once, and then broke up and went their separate ways. The Liao family, who were roasted on the fire, also shrank and did not even leave their residence except for flying feathers all day long. Even the food has begun to be bought and cooked by oneself.
Perhaps in the whole matter, only the Liao family knew best that they had been wronged. So vigilance was raised to the highest level from the beginning. Unlike the other two families who were completely kept in the dark.
"Zudao, are you planning to make the third step immediately?"
"Of course. As I said before, things here cannot be delayed and must be fought quickly. We stopped for a few days to see how they react. Now that we are still fighting on our own, there is no need to wait any longer.
But this time things will not be as easy as the previous two times. When the time comes, you must do your best to grab the crossbow and the fifteen newly arrived pieces of armor. All that should be quenched on the weapon's blade should be quenched with poison. Everything is focused on killing the enemy, and you don't have to worry about the rest. Understand? "
"My subordinate understands! However, if I dare to be bold, I still want to ask for a sword to defeat the enemy. The Liao family has been staying at home recently, and there are so many people inside. I am worried that there will be some Qi practitioners among them, and something will happen to them when the time comes."
Bailang didn't refuse, he had this plan.
