Chapter 957 Has Nothing to Do with Vampires
The launch of the Middle East convenience store is inevitable, and various preparatory work is being followed up continuously, so there will be no major problems.
Because the African battlefield is still raging, any changes in the convenience store will directly affect the war.
Lei Zhen was not really worried about this point.
He knew that for Da Piaoliang, the establishment of the Middle East convenience store meant the diversion of contradictions, and the first priority was to resolve the peace crisis.
Pass the peace to other countries to ensure the smooth operation of their current government.
So even if he suffered a great loss, the most urgent thing was not to turn against Lei Zhen, but to keep everything stable.
The two months were a vacuum period, and everything was peaceful and safe.
The real contradiction will only become apparent two months later, and it will be the time for Lei Zhen to hide in the darkness and implement his plan.
But the sudden mysterious assassination made him alert, so his focus now was to find out who was behind the assassination.
And this is the most important issue at the moment. If this force attacks again two months later, there will be no way to guarantee whether I am really dead or just faking my death.
"The Red Castle Family, an ancient family..."
Sitting on the campus in Chinatown, Lei Zhen crossed his legs, held a cigarette in his mouth, and muttered to himself.
He pays great attention to details. When he went to the Red Castle two days ago, the Duke of Pace introduced Lady Winnie as coming from an ancient family.
Then when Mrs. Winnie came to the door, the two of them talked in the house, and he mumbled that he also came from an ancient family.
What is an ancient family?
Is the killer related to this ancient family, is he related to Lady Winnie?
Why did the Duke of Pace say this when he was introduced, and why did he favor himself so much?
Every country knows that it is a hot potato. If used well, it can be a good gun, but if used poorly, it will be robbed by the black.
Lei Zhen has always believed in his reputation, so it was a bit strange that Duke Pace was trying to win him over.
Let the heir follow him. Last night, Katie said that she wanted to marry her sister Catherine to him. As long as he nodded, the marriage would be done soon.
"Does this old man really think so highly of me?" Lei Zhen shook his head. "What on earth is he plotting? Why does he say his wife comes from an ancient family, and why doesn't he even mention which family it is…"
Question, always question.
This is also the reason why he has been able to live so long. If he were sincere and simple, he would not be able to survive in his country.
"Xin Zheng, are there any ancient families in Wudu?" Lei Zhen asked.
Wei Xinzheng, who was serving nearby, hurried over and answered him while changing his tea.
"Young Master, there are many ancient families in Fog City, but the situation is almost the same as in China." Wei Xinzheng replied.
As the person in charge of the Red Gate in the Fog City and also a servant of the Qiu family, although Lao Wei's ability is not particularly outstanding, he is reliable and stable.
"I asked you if you had any ancient family, and you're telling me that? Don't you want to do this anymore? If you don't want to do this anymore, go back and mow the lawn."
"Thank you for the gift, Master!"
"I……"
Seeing the other person's happy face, Lei Zhen rolled his eyes.
Because it was a blessing to let him go back to mowing the lawn. Although he no longer held power, he was home.
It would be much more pleasant to be with the old lady every day, serving her tea and water and tending the garden than being here.
"It's really just like back home. Many ancient families have declined, and those who remain are basically ordinary people."
"Plus, there are so many immigrants, so there are basically no old nobles left..."
This is true, and it is indeed similar to the situation in China.
Anyone who has been able to pass down from generation to generation and survive to the present day must have come from a large family, otherwise their descendants would have died out long ago.
"I've heard of the Blood Clan," Wei Xinzheng thought for a moment and said, "It's an ancient family, and they even have occasional activities."
"Blood clan? Vampire family?"
This was Lei Zhen’s first reaction, because there were too many TV dramas and movies, and the vampire family was simply called the blood clan.
"It has nothing to do with vampires. Blood clan is a general term."
"Young Master, you should know about the Western worship of blood. For example, in the Middle Ages, people would bleed or drink blood when they were sick, and even bathe in blood."
Lei Zhen took a puff of cigarette. Of course he had heard of this.
Medieval Europe was very ignorant. Not only the common people were ignorant, but also the emperor, nobles, and so on.
The most famous is Charles II.
The emperor was ill and was first treated with bloodletting. When that did not improve, he was given medicine to make him vomit, followed by an enema that lasted for five days.
When there was no improvement, the royal physician developed a folk remedy, grinding human skulls into powder, mixing it with laxatives and giving it to Charles II to take.
If this could cure people, even God would kneel down.
In this situation, another folk remedy was used. The imperial physician pressed a red-hot iron on the emperor's scalp, believing that this would remove the dirt from his head.
Through a series of operations, Charles II successfully met God in advance.
This period was still so ignorant, and the corresponding time was the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty in the East. You should know that in the East during this period, various medical systems were complete.
The use of various diseases and herbs is extremely detailed.
It can be said that the level of various aspects in medieval Europe roughly corresponds to that of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the East.
Why can we achieve a leapfrog development that lasts for thousands of years in just a few hundred years?
This is a mystery, so some people speculate that it is related to the lost Yongle Encyclopedia.
In any case, their worship of blood continues to this day, and almost all nobles are superstitious about blood.
"I heard that vampires have a way to stay young forever, which is to replace blood throughout the body. By replacing the blood of young people with their own, they can become younger and more energetic." Wei Xinzheng showed disdain.
"Indeed." Lei Zhen nodded.
"Ah? Young Master, this..."
“Yes, it can, and it’s really effective.”
This method is indeed effective, and in the next few decades, more and more wealthy people will use this method to prolong their lives.
This is accompanied by more blood products, forming a huge industrial chain.
"Young Master, why don't you change it for the old lady?" Wei Xinzheng suggested.
"It's not impossible, but grandma probably wouldn't do that." Lei Zhen smiled and said, "It's hard to accept because of different concepts."
The blood clan is not a vampire, nor is it a family.
This is a specific group, brought together by blood.
Because this kind of thing must be hidden in the dark, so it seems reasonable for the vampires to assassinate themselves.
Because I want to hide in the darkness, it is a threat to them.
But there's still a question: how did they know they had to go into darkness? Perhaps they had their own way of judging it?
Regardless, this vampire is worth keeping an eye on.
Simply put, everyone in the workplace is squeezing each other's living space, not to mention the dark world.
This is more complicated. They definitely don't want anyone to rush in and affect their situation, or their empire.
Of course, this is just a preliminary suspicion.
Since they couldn't find the force that was trying to assassinate them, they could only regard the vampires as the main suspects.
