065 Feng Jinlin's Big Deal
Chapter 65
Since then, there has been no news of Geng Jiulang. People thought that although Geng Jiulang did not die in the hands of the opponent, he was also seriously injured.
Although he escaped, it was difficult for him to survive with such a serious injury.
Although the Mercenary Hall and the City Lord's Mansion have both put up a wanted list, in the minds of many people, Geng Jiulang has died in that chase.
But who could have thought that he would appear in Qingyun City again, but this time he died very thoroughly, with his head chopped off by the City Lord Duan of Qingyun City, and there is no possibility of resurrection.
"Geng Jiulang is still alive. No, no, I mean, before going to Qingyun City, where did he hide for the past five years?"
"This stubborn guy, he won't want to go to Qingyun City to commit trouble again, will he?"
"The City Lord Duan is so powerful that even the late Yuandan realm masters couldn't take him down, but City Lord Duan solved the problem?"
"Tsk, so naive, do you think Geng Jiulang went to Qingyun City to commit trouble? He was clearly heading for the Feng family in Qingyun City, but City Lord Duan had set a trap for him in advance, so no matter how capable he is, he couldn't escape."
"What you mean is..."
"Humph, someone helped Geng Jiulang hide. I wonder who will think when the news gets to the ears."
Gong Yuming and others only then knew who the Yuandan realm master trapped in Qingyun City was. They really didn't expect it to be Geng Jiulang.
"Brother Ming, who do you think sent Geng Jiulang?"
Gong Yuming squinted his eyes: "You are asking even though you know the answer. Do you really not know who sent him?"
"No way, is it true that the Wan family secretly employed Geng Jiulang? Could it be that the Wan family helped Geng Jiulang escape from the hunt by that senior?"
"Humph, it's hard to say. It depends on what that senior thinks after the news gets around. But the Wan family will definitely refuse to admit it."
Gong Yuming listened to their discussion, touched his chin and said, "I wonder if Geng Jiulang left any evidence on him. If so, where did the evidence go and whether it fell into the hands of that senior."
His tone was clearly one of gloating over another's misfortune, and the other Gong family members also began to look forward to it.
The relationship between the Feng family and the Wan family is not very harmonious. In many cases, they are tit-for-tat and do not give in to each other.
Because the senior did not kill Geng Jiulang himself to avenge his granddaughter, he worked hard to cultivate for the past five years. His cultivation has been improved from the late Yuandan realm to the peak of the Yuandan realm.
If the senior really gets the evidence, the Wan family will definitely be punished. The Wan family will be in trouble, and they are of course happy.
In the city lord's mansion, the young marquis who manages chores for his father and the city lord's men are sorting out the things left behind after Geng Jiulang's death.
After City Lord Duan and Captain Xie teamed up to capture Geng Jiulang, the two did not take away the mission items from Geng Jiulang privately. City Lord Duan sent both his head and body to the County City Government through official channels and handed them over to Lord Zong for disposal.
City Lord Duan had no idea whether there was evidence of Geng Jiulang's defection to the Wan family, so he did not touch Geng Jiulang's storage ring.
However, City Lord Duan did not think that Lord Zong would protect Geng Jiulang. After all, as the Lord of the County City and a member of the royal family, Lord Zong had to maintain the image of the royal family.
Evil people like Geng Jiulang were like cancer in the dynasty, and of course they had to be cleaned up.
"I didn't expect City Lord Duan to be able to take down Geng Jiulang."
"City Lord Duan mentioned it in his letter. It was because of Captain Xie's actions and Feng Jinlin's reminder that layers of traps were set in the Feng family mansion in advance, just waiting for the visitors to take the initiative to get in. This result was due to several factors." The young marquis said lightly. This matter made him very dissatisfied with the Wan family.
Originally, it was just Wan Boyong who took advantage of Wu Yingyan's relationship, but this time the entire Wan family was involved.
Not to mention that Wan Xihai could command it alone, he couldn't do it without the tacit consent of the head of the Wan family.
He also understood the intention of the Wan family's move. The Wan family wanted to secretly surrender to the prince behind the Wu family and try to make the Wan family's status further.
Now Gaoyang County is under the control of his father. Because of his father's status as a royal family member, the Wan family dares not act rashly and can only do some small things in private.
But if the prince behind the Wu family comes to power, with him as a backer, his father's status will not be able to suppress the Wan family.
The young marquis didn't think that Geng Jiulang would not keep evidence. Sure enough, not long after, one of his men was surprised and said, "Young marquis, I found it. This is the account book left by Geng Jiulang. Good guy, it records a lot of shady things he did for the Wan family in secret. This Geng Jiulang and the Wan family are really damned."
The young marquis immediately took the account book, and the accounts were shocking.
Moreover, in order to make Geng Jiulang work for them better, the Wan family would secretly satisfy Geng Jiulang's selfish desires, that is, to provide young girls.
In five years, more than fifty girls died at the hands of the Wan family and Geng Jiulang, and all traces were obviously cleared by the Wan family, so they have not been exposed until now.
"It's damn it!" The young marquis was also angry, "Make a copy and send the original to Senior Jiang."
"Yes, young marquis."
The young marquis's anger subsided, and he tapped the table with his fingers: "This Feng Jinlin is a talented person. It's a good thing that he doesn't return to the Feng family."
Otherwise, I'm afraid that the City Lord's Mansion can't suppress the power of the Feng family. In each city, the power of the City Lord's Mansion and the power of various families is actually a relationship of east wind and west wind. Either the east wind suppresses the west wind, or the west wind suppresses the east wind.
As the power of the noble families grows, they will have more benefits to share. Correspondingly, the proportion of benefits that the City Lord's Mansion can share will shrink.
The various forces are constantly fighting, and what they are fighting for is not the benefits and resources. This is an eternal theme.
The royal family may sound glorious, but if they want to move up, they have to fight for it.
"Will Feng Jinlin return to the Feng family? Or will he start a new business in Gaoyang County?"
"Even if he starts a new business, as long as he stays in Gaoyang County, his father-son relationship with the head of the Feng family will not change."
"Let's wait and see how Feng Jinlin will move next. We should be patient." The young marquis was very patient.
"Yes, young marquis."
Like the young marquis, many forces in Gaoyang County are watching Feng Jinlin's actions.
As for the Feng family, others were worried that Feng Jinlin's return would strengthen the Feng family, but they themselves did not want to see this situation.
One more person coming back meant one more person competing with them for the family's internal resources.
But after the group of people from Qingyun City came to Gaoyang County, they were settled in the mansion where Fengming and his son lived. Even if they went out, they would only stay nearby.
Not long after, the housekeeper who had been rehabilitated came out to move around, bringing the family guards with him, and took the large amount of property obtained from the transfer of family industries from Qingyun City to various shops to obtain various cultivation resources.
A large amount of the property went into the hands of Liuyang Pavilion, and the cultivation resources exchanged for it also made people jealous.
When the housekeeper went out, because he had to escort the property and the resources exchanged, he brought a lot of guards with him, so he always swaggered through the city, and it was hard not to attract the attention of all parties, causing everyone to speculate.
"What is Feng Jinlin doing? Is he squandering all his money without leaving any backup for himself?"
"He is not using these resources to train the cultivators who follow him, in that case the cultivators who follow him are blessed, I've heard that Feng Jinlin is a generous man."
"Does he look like he is going back to the Feng family?"
"Looking at their attitude recently, it is very likely that some people in the Feng family will change their minds and welcome Feng Jinlin back, and bring these resources back to the clan so that they can enjoy them." " That's
a nice thought."
"So you don't want to go back?"
"Even if they bring it back, these resources should be used on their own people. This is what he earned himself. Isn't that the rule of those aristocratic families? If you don't rely on the family, what you earn yourself should belong to you."
Those merchants, including the branch owners of Liuyang Pavilion, were all very happy. Feng Jinlin was really generous. They earned a lot of Yuanjing from Feng Jinlin.
As outsiders thought, part of these resources brought back were indeed used on the cultivators who followed him.
They were all immersed in cultivation in the house, and didn't even look at the excitement outside.
I heard that the head of the family wanted to take them out to play. If their cultivation was weak, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the head of the family and dragging them down?
So they were like a competition, and each one was more diligent than the other.
The other part of the resources were sealed up, needless to say, for the Fengying mercenary corps, they were all his people, Feng Jinlin was not partial.
Looking at the power of these people, even if he wanted to steal back the lazy Feng Ming, he would feel embarrassed, so he spent more time on cultivation.
Sheng Duo, who was forced to stay by the head of the Sheng family, originally wanted Feng Ming to take him to visit the colorful world of Gaoyang County, but the result was jaw-dropping.
Each of them looked like a crazy cultivator, making him embarrassed to wander around alone, so he had to join the cultivation team with a bitter face.
The parties outside did not understand Feng Jinlin's meaning at all. What were they doing huddled in the house?
Seeing that the Xuanyue Secret Realm was about to be opened, all parties had no time to study Feng Jinlin's intentions and focused their attention on the opening of the Xuanyue Secret Realm and searching for any tokens that were left out.
Over the years, the number of tokens in the Xuanyue Secret Realm was limited, and most of them were in the hands of major forces. Only a very small part of them flowed out.
Even if there were any, the major forces would find ways to get them.
In order to arm themselves, the cultivators who entered the secret realm bought spiritual tools, spiritual talismans, elixirs and other resources. In addition, Feng Jinlin had asked the butler to carry the money to buy resources, which caused the price of cultivation resources in Gaoyang County to rise a lot this time, and the price was higher than that of other county cities. After
all, the time was too short, and it was a bit too late to transfer them from other places.
So everyone thinks that the opening of the Xuanyue Secret Realm has nothing to do with Feng Jinlin, and there is no clue that he has obtained the token.
Even Feng Jinghuai and Gong Yuming think so. Although Gong Yuming is a second-generation rich man, he is also preparing for these secret realms. He wants to pack himself from teeth to heels to ensure that there is no risk in the secret realm. Normally, he
would still be interested in chatting with Feng Ming, but now he doesn't even have time to find Feng Ming.
He is still wondering in his heart whether Feng Ming will still be in Gaoyang County when he comes out of the secret realm. He has a feeling that Feng Jinlin does not seem to intend to stay in Gaoyang County.
He still feels a little bit of a pity in his heart.
