Burning Paper Every Day, I Became a Taoist Ancestor/
Chapter 22 The culprit
In the middle of the night, the ghastly white moonlight sprinkled on the mottled old city walls of Crimson Dragon City…
Among the 28 cities in the three prefectures of Jiang State, Crimson Dragon City was considered top-notch, and its prosperity was even higher than that of Liyang City..
However, Li Yang City is divided into the Wang Family and the Hong Family..
However, Crimson Dragon City was the Qin Family's largest family. There was no other reason. The Qin Family was one of the top three families in the [Dragon Tiger Dao Nine Families]. Back then, their ancestors were only half a step away from reaching the peak of the Dragon Tiger Dao Altar and achieving the name Wushuang Dao..
After many years of reproduction, the Qin family had long been a dominant family. There were many experts under them, and there were even experts who surpassed the five levels of the threshold..
At this moment, the Qin family mansion, front hall side courtyard.
A cold body lay there, its chest bloody and empty, its body stained with fresh soil and weeds…
Next to him, a beautiful woman lay on the corpse and cried bitterly..
" How dare you kill someone from my Qin family…I don't know when Jiang Zhou had such a good seed!"
The cold voice resounded in the quiet courtyard, as if swords were crossing, piercing through the bones..
At the very top was a dignified middle-aged man, his eyes sharp as if he wanted to kill someone..
As the leader of the Qin Family, Qin Aotian was angry and shocked when he saw Qin Muchen's corpse…He was angry that an outstanding Qin Family disciple had died outside for no reason…
They were shocked that someone dared to attack the Qin family in Jiang Zhou. They killed people and left no survivors..
" Youning must have met with some mishap too…We haven't been able to find her body…"
" Who…who is it? I want him to pay for my son's death!"
The beautiful woman who was lying on Qin Muchen's corpse gritted her teeth, revealing the hatred and killing intent of bones..
"I've seen the wound…"
At this moment, a thin middle-aged man beside him said coldly. His eyes were narrow and narrow, like a thread, sweeping across the wound on Qin Muchen's chest..
"The Hong family's [Python Bull Breath Art]…What a great method…"
" Hong Family? Are they mistaken? How dare they?"
" It can't be wrong. Although the bone refining techniques in the world are similar, the techniques used to exert strength are different…"
The thin man walked up to Qin Muchen's corpse and pointed at the wound on his chest. He said in a deep voice," Strong force, piercing like a horn, strong force, python momentum…"
" This is clearly the Bone-refining section of the [Python Ox Breath Technique] cultivated to an extremely advanced stage. Unless it's a direct descendant of the Hong family, he wouldn't have obtained this true inheritance!"
At this point, the thin middle-aged man's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, exuding a dense chill..
"The Hong family…they really have the guts…"
"I want to destroy the entire Hong family!"
" Calm down, calm down. If it's really the Hong Family's doing, how dare they use their own skills to parade around like this? Are they courting death?"
" There's indeed something fishy. Could someone have framed me?"
"Absolutely not. The Python Ox Breath Art is a secret inheritance of the Hong family. To cultivate it to such a realm, one must have obtained the true inheritance. Outsiders cannot do this…"
In the side courtyard, there were waves of discussions. Judging from the wound alone, even if they found the Hong family, they would not admit it..
Although the Qin Family was powerful, they were all part of the Nine Families of the Dragon Tiger Dao. If they fought, it would be a huge relationship and it might affect the development of the clan..
A great family can't act on its own will. Every decision needs to be carefully made. Only in this way can it be inherited continuously..
"Even if the Hong family didn't do this, they have something to do with it…"
At this moment, Qin Aotian spoke, and the courtyard immediately quieted down. Many gazes were cast on the true master of the Qin family..
"The Mountain Monarch Mine, which was originally planned to be handed over to the Hong family, should be handed over to the Wang family..”
"Patriarch…"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone's expression changed and wanted to object. The Mountain Monarch Mine was a piece of fat meat because it was close to Liyang City. Mining, refining, transportation, etc. If the Qin family managed it personally, the cost would be huge and the profits would be diluted…
That was why they had handed this fat to the Hong Family. The Hong Family had paid a lot of money for this…
Now, if the order changed constantly, not to mention the losses of the Hong family, those who secretly benefited would not be able to handle themselves..
" Hmm?!"
However, Qin Aotian's words could not be disobeyed. With a cold snort, those restless hearts sank..
" The Mountain Lord Mine was originally owned by the Wang Family. They will use it more easily than the Hong Family…" Qin Aotian said lightly..
"But…the Wang family…"
. At this time, someone wanted to say something but stopped. The Mountain Monarch Mine did belong to the Wang family. However, Lin Chanyin was executed for a major crime, and the Wang family was implicated. Many of the properties were divided up by other families..
Now, if he returned the Mountain Monarch Mine to the Wang family, it would be a little sensitive..
" What are you afraid of? That woman has been dead for so many years. The Wang family is just our slaves now…"
" In the future, when Little Respect Heaven opens, whether it's the Wang Family or the Hong Family…they will all disappear!"
Qin Aotian's eyes revealed deep confidence and determination..
"Everything for the clan!"
"Everything for the clan!"
"Everything for the clan!"
Shouts rose one after another in the courtyard. At this time, the Hong Family, which was thousands of miles away, did not know that Qin Muchen's corpse had brought such an unexpected disaster to the Hong Family and caused great losses..
……
three days later.
Li Yang City, Wang Family.
Today is the day of collecting the month of each month. According to the rules, all Wang Family disciples must send slaves to [Fragrance Hall] to collect their own expenses..
"The Wang family can only receive agricultural and sideline products every month. When will I be eighteen?.”
in Xiangyi Hall, Wang Hun toot in his mouth. only when he is eighteen can he receive money and own property.
One had to know that cultivation was a way of spending money. Although he had obtained the secret manual of the Golden Tiger Bone Refining Technique, he had no resources to cultivate it. He could not even burn something good for himself..
"Young Master, let me show you around the Fragrance Hall first. It will probably be a while before it's our turn…"
As a legitimate son, he still has to queue up to receive agricultural and sideline products. It can be seen how awkward Wang Hun's position in the clan is..
The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is a good slave. Even with such a master, he is still loyal and effective. He has a taste of children who don't mind their mothers 'ugliness and dogs who don't mind their families' poverty..
"On the ninth day of the lunar new year, I heard that after entering the manor, all the slaves in the manor have to study in this [Fragrance Hall]?"
" Advanced training!?"
" Just to learn a craft!?"
" Young Master is right... Xiangyi Hall has opened many miscellaneous subjects for the slaves to learn. The Wang family has always made the best use of their talents and resources, not raising idle people..." Chu Jiu nodded in agreement..
There are many miscellaneous departments in Xiangyi Hall, such as kitchen department, garden medicine department, veterinary department, beauty department, hairdressing department and so on.
As they talked, they walked to the front of the Civil Engineering Department. In the past, the slaves who built gardens and built buildings in the clan all came from here..
At that moment, the words of the old pedant came out of the room.
" I'll teach you the principles of drawing. How about reading drawings?"
" It's too difficult! I don't want to learn!"
At this moment, a seemingly mischievous servant tilted his head and immediately waved his hand in reply..
"Then I'll teach you how to fix the building and contract the materials. How about that?"
"Too tired, too tired, don't learn, don't learn!"
"Then I'll teach you cost analysis and turn losses into profits. How about that?"
"Too slow, too slow, don't learn, don't learn!"
Upon hearing this, the old scholar's expression darkened slightly. He approached and lowered his voice." Then I'll teach you to change the completed drawings, falsely bid high prices, imitate signatures, and carve radish seals. How about that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the seemingly mischievous servant lit up, and he looked anxious..
"This is good. I'll learn this!"
"Come on, I'll teach you some skills, but if you cause trouble in the future, don't tell me about me..”
As the pedant spoke, he took the servant by the hand and exhorted him.
How can this be? Everything is taught here..”
Wang Hun had a strange expression on his face. He looked at Chu Jiu and couldn't help but ask," Chu Jiu, what craft did you learn?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jiu's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly lowered his head and remained silent..
