Ning Zhishui sank himself into the water, one to hide himself, and the other to allow Tou Yusi to recover better.
Fortunately, she had water-repellent beads, so she could breathe normally here.
After everything calmed down, Ning Zhishui began to think about what happened today.
At the beginning, Ning Zhishui proposed to come to the spiritual vein, actually to target Zhang Zhaohai.
Regardless of whether Zhang Zhaohai was killed by his own scheme, Ning Zhishui did not intend to let the Zhang family gain benefits in the mine so easily, so this trip was a must.
Later, Zhang Zhaohai disappeared and was replaced by Zhang Su, a member of the Zhang family. The Zhang family had always had a grudge against Ning Zhishui, so now revenge on Zhang Zhaohai was the same as revenge on the Zhang family.
The reason why he thought of diverting the blame and dragging the Gu family into this was because of two things.
The master of the Gu family was also a frequent visitor to Zuifeng Tower in the past. He liked to pick the men in the tower and had even crippled two of them.
But this Mr. Gu is very hypocritical, and his behavior in front of people is completely different from his behavior behind people, and his reputation has always been good.
If Ning Zhishui was not the new owner of Zuifeng Tower, he would not have known such a secret.
Another thing is that Ning Zhishui knows the future development momentum of the Gu family. In about a few decades, the Gu family will become rich and will also have a marriage relationship with the Zhang family.
Ning Zhishui facilitated this matter this time, not only to cause trouble for the Gu family, but also to use this incident to make the Zhang family hostile to him. If the marriage alliance could be cut off, the development of the Zhang family might be restricted.
Compared with these, Ning Zhishui's theft of the crystal stone seems less important.
Although, the number of crystals she secretly transferred into the Qiankun space was indeed quite a lot.
While Ning Zhishui was hiding in the spiritual spring to recover, there was already a huge commotion in the mine.
The Zhang and Gu families confronted each other. The Zhang family blamed the Gu family, but the Gu family felt wronged and made trouble for no reason.
"You said it was one of ours, but where's the evidence? Liu San was standing with you the whole time. How did he quietly move the crystal away in front of everyone?"
"Then I have to ask you, how did you do it, and how do I know?"
"Oh, what a joke! Your crystals have always been blocked by workers. Even if Liu San were a gibbon, he wouldn't be able to touch them. Isn't it a bit unreasonable to throw dirty water on our Gu family like this? Do you really think we are afraid of your Zhang family?!"
"Stop being so sarcastic. If Liu San hadn't suddenly appeared and intruded into our Zhang family's territory, distracting us, how could those crystals have been lost? Even if he wasn't the one who did it, he must have had accomplices! That's nearly 100,000 crystal ore, and there's even a piece of stone ore that looks like it could be a top-grade crystal!"
"You can mine 100,000 tons of ore in a day. Do you believe what you said?"
…
The two families refused to give in, but compared to the Zhang family's self-righteousness, the Gu family was a little weak.
After all, what Zhang Su said was right. Liu San, who was supposed to be standing guard at the junction, broke the rules and broke into the Zhang family's territory, and the Zhang family's crystal stone was also lost strangely. Although they were sure that Liu San did not do it, they also knew that it was caused by them.
However, they still cannot give in when facing the Zhang family. Otherwise, if they show that they are guilty, the Zhang family will not give in at all.
As for the Zhang family, it doesn’t matter whether they really believe that the Gu family did it.
The important thing is that they have something on the Gu family, and they can use it to make a big fuss. In this way, the Gu family will definitely give them some benefits to shut them up in order to keep the peace.
It's true that the Zhang family lost the crystals, so they should at least make up for it, right? Besides, is the Gu family really innocent in this matter?
Why didn’t you come earlier or later? As soon as you came, the crystal was lost!
There was also the crystal stone that was said to be able to roll forever. After listening to Liu San's explanation, Zhang Su threw the stone herself and found that it would not roll at all.
In this way, Liu San's words became even more bizarre.
In the middle of the discussion, a servant came over and whispered a report.
"The guard of Lingquan is missing."
Zhang Su's expression changed slightly when she heard this, but she didn't show it too much in front of the Gu family.
She found a random excuse to interrupt the negotiation, and then led her men to Lingquan in a threatening manner.
Ning Zhishui didn't know the specific situation of the spiritual spring. In fact, this spiritual spring already had an owner, the Zhang family.
It was the Zhang family, not the many aristocratic families that divided it equally.
This is naturally because the Zhang family is powerful and they still have the upper hand after everyone's game, so the other families have no choice but to accept it.
Fortunately, this spiritual spring is relatively small and the spiritual energy is not that abundant, so the other families barely endured it, not wanting to completely offend the Zhang family because of this.
Either you give it up, or you give it up after being beaten...it's better to choose the former.
Therefore, the guards guarding Lingquan are all members of the Zhang family.
The Zhang family discovered the matter so quickly because it was time for the guards to change shifts. The two new people did not find the original two after they arrived, so after searching nearby, they found some signs of a fight.
It just so happened that the Zhang family's crystal stone was stolen, and at this time the guard of Lingquan also disappeared, so the matter came to Zhang Su.
"Are all the nearby entrances and exits guarded?"
Zhang Su asked the servants as he walked.
"It's well guarded. As long as that person is still nearby, he will have nowhere to escape unless he has wings." The servant said confidently.
The location of the spirit pool is somewhat unique. There are only two ways to enter and exit, so it is not difficult to defend.
Zhang Su nodded, a sinister expression on her face. "I'll find that man and make sure he dies a miserable death."
Zhang Su was assigned this task by the Zhang family. As a result, first the crystal stone was stolen, and then there was a problem with the spiritual spring.
This matter will definitely be spread to the main family, and then the impression I will make on the head of the family...
Zhang Su didn't dare to think about it any further. Other things had already happened and it was too late to regret.
But the thief must be caught, otherwise how can she explain to the head of the family?
"Pass my order, send more people to search together, and make sure to find him, dead or alive!"
"yes!"
Ning Zhishui was soaking in the spiritual spring and could feel the jade silk becoming translucent again.
Wait until it becomes transparent again and you can use it normally.
Then I can use it to leave the valley.
Ning Zhishui just hopes that time will pass faster so that he can be safe.
I don’t know if the other families know about the accident that happened to the Lingquan guard?
Just as Ning Zhishui was thinking this, he vaguely noticed some unusual movements around him.
It seemed like footsteps, or perhaps voices. The sound was a little fragmented, but it seemed to come from more than one person.
This made Ning Zhishui feel awe-inspiring, and his heart sank.
She was not invisible at this time, so she only dared to swim slightly upwards, trying to hear the movements around her.
