C381 Secrets (next)
At the same time, the more dangerous things were, the greater the benefits would be. No one would take risks for no reason. Therefore, since someone had extended a hand to the back of the two top gangs, the risk they would have to take would be great. Without the protection of benefits, no one would believe it.
If they knew the other party's goal and the benefits they had obtained, they could easily use this method to lock down a few suspected factions. After eliminating them one by one, they would eventually find the person who had truly used the Black Hand. After all, those who could lay their hands on these two gangs must not be ignored. Therefore, the scope of the city had been greatly reduced.
"You want us to engage in a conflict and cause serious casualties? Could it be that Brother Li has already forgotten what happened back then?" Yin Busan had a suspect in his heart, so he reminded Li Fenghun.
"Nightmare Villa?" Li Fenghun immediately thought of that incident from that year. Because that incident had stirred up almost all of the experts in the clan, even the level 9 ashes were involved, so the memory was still fresh in his mind.
"That's right, I suspect that they are the ones instigating us, causing us to kill each other, causing us to lose a lot of strength, and the Nightmare Villa is reaping benefits from this!" Yin Jingduan nodded his head and agreed. According to this deduction, almost all of the suspicious points could be corresponded to the strength of the gang, their ways of doing things, and their most likely target.
"Damn, this is too vicious!" In the past, he relied on women to stir up trouble between the two great sects, and now he's playing this game again! Shameful! Hateful! " Li Jialai cursed at the side. This could also be considered as him admitting that Black Hand was a Nightmare Villa.
"Of course, this is only a guess. There is no evidence to prove it!" Yin Busan raised his hand to stop Li Jialai from continuing to curse, and said noncommittally.
"Isn't that proof enough? In this empire, other than the imperial court eagle dog Imperial Overwatch Council, there are only three gangs here: the three gangs! Furthermore, everyone knows that our two big gangs have irreconcilable contradictions since ancient times, so there will always be a few people who will instigate them, and the greatest possibility amongst them is that it will be the Nightmare Villa s! "Only they would be able to benefit the most from the damage done to our forces!" In his heart, Li Fenghun was also unable to calm down, and angrily said. At this moment, he had already determined in his heart that the culprits were those despicable people from the Nightmare Villa.
"Don't be impatient, Brother Li!" There were other things to do next! "Listen to me for now!" Yin Busan consoled his and continued.
"Speak!" Li Fenghun slanted his head and said snappily.
"According to Lu Baihuan, that night, he brought people to the east side of the city according to the agreement!" Yin Busan did not mind and continued to narrate.
"Wait, senior, it should be the north part of the city right? The invitation we received wrote down the north part of the city!" The Great Clan Elder of the Sword League spoke again.
"However, the location mentioned in the invitation for Lu Baihuan to battle is indeed the east side of the city, and the time is approaching!" Yin Busan smiled as he explained. His tone was confident, since he was sure that there was someone behind this, then this situation was reasonable.
"This ?" The Great Elder was flabbergasted, not knowing what else to say.
"This proves that someone is trying to stir up trouble!" Li Jialai nodded with certainty.
"That's right!" After Lu Baihuan brought his men to the east side of the city, they discovered the corpse of Tenth Elder's son! And I found a letter on him! " Yin Busan nodded his head and continued speaking.
"A letter?" Hearing Yin Busan mention the 'letter', everyone's attention was once again attracted. They knew that Yin Busan would not randomly mention the letter in Ma Qingyuan's arms, and since it was purposely emphasized, then this letter would definitely contain some extremely important information or information.
"That's right, this is a letter to Ma Qingyuan. The letter mentions an extremely large amount of money, that's at least five hundred thousand silver! And this huge sum of money needs to be escorted to the north! " Yin Busan repeated his words to everyone.
"500,000 silver?" Li Jialai's eyes stared far away as he spoke in shock and greed.
"Such a huge sum of silver?" Where did it come from? Where to? " Yin Jingduan hid his expression very well, but his anxious words revealed the greed in his heart!
"I don't know. The letter didn't say anything!" At first, Lu Baihuan thought that it was the property of your Sword League, but when he became greedy, he brought his people and chased towards the north! " Yin Busan shook his head, and replied the two who were almost simultaneously asking their questions.
"He just left? "Then when we returned to the city that night, who attacked us?" Hearing Yin Busan's words, the great elder of Sword League was once again shocked. The unfortunate events that happened to him in Fengyang City had originally all been placed in Lu Baihuan's hands, but now? To suddenly realize that all of this had nothing to do with Lu Baihuan at all, how could this not cause him to be shocked, be at ease, and be annoyed?
"I don't know!" But we can be sure that it's definitely not Lu Baihuan! " Yin Busan shook his head and replied.
"This matter is getting more and more interesting. To be able to play with our two great gangs without being able to fight back, this person in charge of planning is also quite a powerful person!" It's definitely comparable to the words' absolutely stunning '! " Li Fenghun revealed a cruel smile, but spoke with praise.
"But I've never heard of such a person appearing in the Nightmare Villa!" Yin Jingduan interrupted from the side.
"We'll discuss this later. Let me continue! Lu Baihuan headed north, and originally, he did not have much hope of finding them, but unfortunately, they did bump into each other. There were dozens of big boxes, and inside those boxes there was indeed a lot of silver! " Yin Busan glanced at Yin Jingduan, signalling him not to interrupt, and then continued with his narration.
"Then did Lu Baihuan snatch the silver?" Li Jialai asked in concern.
"Hmph, if he stole it, how could he have the appearance of a dead dog?" Yin Jingduan snorted, and pointed to Lu Baihuan who was lying on the ground.
"He really did not get it, and was instead ambushed. Other than him, everyone else died, including his wife! Only he was able to escape and return in a sorry state! " Yin Busan opened his mouth and spoke, confirming Yin Jingduan's answer, and in a few short sentences, he finished the remaining part.
Although Lu Baihuan had experienced a lot of things, including a lot of strange things, some things were actually just the result of him scaring himself. After incoherently explaining everything, Yin Busan could only ignore all the strange things that happened along the way, treating it as his mental breakdown caused by the ambush.
"Looks like Ma Qingyuan's death really has nothing to do with Lu Baihuan. We might have to find another culprit!" After listening to what I, Yin Busan, have said, Li Jialai nodded and said it clearly.
"Today, I invited Brother Li and you to come in. I have also dismissed the others because I wanted to tell you that us two big gangs may have fallen into a huge trap. Who exactly is the culprit behind this? We don't even know what his goal is! In order to be safe, I suggest that our two big gangs temporarily establish a cooperative relationship. This way, we can prevent ourselves from being tricked by the other side and cause unnecessary losses! It was also to prevent any unexpected situations that might happen in the future, until the black hand himself emerged from the water! I wonder how everyone in the Sword League feels about this? " Yin Busan nodded his head and followed along with Li Jialai's words. At the same time, he sincerely suggested and invited the few people from Sword League.
After all, he had to be extremely careful before everything became clear to him. If he took the wrong step, he might end up in the middle of the whirlpool of conspiracy, and it was not something that anyone could bear.
"..." Li Jialai cast his gaze at the Old Ancestor once again. This was not a small matter. Although the two sects had cooperated together before, that was when it was the last resort. Right now, the two sects were of equal strength and both of them were very powerful.
"I have no objections, Alec. What do you say?" Li Fenghun pondered for a long time, before replying.
"Then I agree as well!" Li Jialai nodded and agreed.
"Alright, Old Brother Yan, then it's settled!" Li Fenghun confirmed as he faced Yin Busan.
"Mn, brother and Chief Li have really made a clear decision! Go and arrange for the people of the Sword League to enter the valley to rest! " Yin Busan praised, and then instructed Yin Jingduan.
"Yes sir!" Yin Jingduan bowed and accepted the order!

Shi Haowen and the Duke Palace Guard Commander led a group of subordinates as they fled northwards in a sorry state. If not for the weapons in their hands, they would have probably been treated as begging for food. But even so, when they walked out of the mountain and entered the town, the sour smell on their bodies, together with their filthy skin and tattered clothes were enough to make people retreat.
"Aiyo, where did these barbarians come from? Why is it so smelly? " One had the appearance of 'Sister Feng', the figure of 'sow', while the 'Dajun Pig Show' led a servant girl who was many times more beautiful than herself. Standing in front of a stinky tofu stall, she used an embroidered handkerchief to cover her nose as she complained while fanning herself.
"It really stinks, much worse than my stinky tofu!" The stinky tofu seller at the side also added on.
"Yeah, it smells so bad. I thought your stinky tofu would be the most stinky, but I didn't expect it to be a hundred times worse than this hundred-year-old stinky tofu of yours!" That 'lady pig' frowned and continued commenting.
"Yeah, I really didn't expect it. My smelly tofu is made from high-quality odorous special fecal water and is soaked in it for 749 days. It contains feces from a variety of human and beast hybrids and has an extremely high nutritional value. "Miss, why don't you try again?" The peddler took the opportunity to advertise his stinky tofu.
"Ah ?" So disgusting! " When the 'pig' sister heard the hawker's words, she took a few steps back and said with a look of disdain.
"You've already eaten for many years, why are you still calling this stinky tofu disgusting?" The peddler asked in confusion.
"No, it's you actually calling me 'Miss'. You're the 'Miss', your whole family is called 'Miss'!" That 'pig' lady replied in disgust.
"..." The surrounding people were speechless!
