"After hearing the news, I rushed to Lipo County and passed by Jiaozhi County. I saw Qin You leading two Qianyi Sect monks to Shangganling. Without asking a question, I directly killed Xu Yuanhou, a monk from the Xu family who was stationed in Shangganling. When I arrived at the Xu Mansion, people from the Qianyi Sect were ransacking the Xu Mansion. Because there was a golden silk screen outside, the specific situation inside was unknown. But I heard from people around that there was a fierce confrontation in the Xu Mansion before, and it was very serious. Soon there was no movement, and I heard the maid of the Xu family crying and shouting outside. I thought that everyone in the Xu family had been killed, so I didn't stay long and hurried back to tell my father."

Gao Yingyuan couldn't sit still and walked back and forth. The Xu family was confiscated and exterminated. More than a dozen monks from the Qianyi Sect? What happened? "Quick, call everyone immediately and go back to the house to discuss the matter. Send more people to inquire. , you must know the cause.”

"Yes." Gao Si responded. As soon as he reached the door, he saw the old housekeeper come in and said, "Master, Zhao Guang came to the door and said he had something to see the master."

Upon hearing this, Gao Si immediately stopped and he and Gao Yingyuan couldn't help but look at each other. They both saw fear in each other's eyes. The Xu family was wiped out and they came to the Gao family. At this time, the first reaction in their minds was It means that my family wants to overturn the Xu family's path.

"How many people are here?" Gao Si asked hurriedly.

"Zhao Guang is the only one." the steward replied.

Gao Yingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was the only one here, which at least meant that he was not here to confiscate the house: "Please hurry up."

"Father, what will happen if Zhao Guang comes here at this time?" Gao Si asked

"Let's talk after we meet each other first! Come with me."

The three of them met in the inner courtyard. Gao Yingyuan was very enthusiastic, holding his hand with a smile on his face: "Brother Zhao, you are a rare visitor! Come, come, come, sit in the inner hall."

Zhao Guangdao: "Don't bother me, fellow Taoist Gao, I'm here on the orders of the Tang Immortal. I'll just say a word and leave."

"Hey, what are you talking about? It's hard for Brother Zhao to get here. He has to have a cup of tea before leaving. Moreover, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and you came to my house in person. If you say a word, you will leave. If it spreads to the outside, Jing Don't you think that Bei Haoxia, Gao Yingyuan, has no way of treating guests? Guests are welcome to do as they please, Brother Zhao, don't refuse." Gao Yingyuan said, pulling him into the inner hall, and the two of them sat down separately.

"I wonder why Mr. Tang sent Brother Zhao here?"

"It's not a big deal. It's just that Tang Xian's envoy has been in Jingbei for several months and has not negotiated with the powerful families in Jingbei. Therefore, he wants to set up a banquet in Jingbei Mansion tomorrow night to entertain Taoist Taoist Gao, so I have been specially sent to inform you." Zhao Guangdao

"Invite Mr. Gao to a banquet? Did Mr. Tang say anything else?"?

"No, I just sent me to invite Taoist friend Gao to resume the banquet tomorrow."

"Oh, please tell Mr. Tang that Mr. Gao will definitely be here. I wonder if Mr. Tang will invite Mr. Gao alone or?"

"All the powerful families in Jingbei are having a banquet. I have heard that I have to go back and say goodbye." Zhao Guang said and left.

"Hey, don't worry." Gao Yingyuan said quickly, and Gao Siye quickly stood up to stop him.

"Brother Zhao is too anxious. You see, he didn't even drink a cup of tea. I sincerely ask Brother Zhao about something. I hope he can tell me the truth."

"I wonder what happened to fellow Taoist Gao?"

"I just heard the news that the Xu family has been wiped out. I don't know whether it is true or not. Brother Zhao must know something."

"To be fair to fellow Taoist Gao, the Xu family was indeed ransacked, but I don't know the details."

"Oh." Gao Yingyuan nodded, and suddenly said angrily: "The distinguished guests in the mansion are here, why is the tea so late? How do these servants do things?" As soon as he finished speaking, a maid came in with a tea tray and knelt down slightly. Bring the tea tray in front of Zhao Guang.

There was a blue cloth bag next to the tea on the tea tray. Zhao Guang remained calm. He picked up the tea cup with his right hand and put the bag into his sleeve with his left hand.

"I don't know the details, but I know a thing or two about the inside story. I hope Brother Zhao can tell me the truth." Gao Yingyuan took a sip of tea and said.

"I really don't know the specific details of this matter. I can only tell you what I saw and heard. At noon today, a team of monks from the Inspection Section of the Qianyi Sect arrived at Jingbei Prefecture on three blue-winged birds. There were 11 people in total, leading the team of monks. The surname was Chu. Afterwards, Chief Tang went to the Xu Mansion with them, built a golden cage to surround the Xu Mansion, killed the monks of the Xu Mansion, and then divided his troops to various places to kill the monks of the Xu Mansion stationed abroad. Xu Qingxian privately I dug a secret passage and opened a secret room in it, and hid the Xu family's finances in it. The people of the Qianyi Sect found it and took away the property."

"Why did Qian Yizong want to confiscate the Xu family and exterminate them?"

"Xu Qingxian colluded with the Demon Sect, supplied Bigu Pills to it, and killed the Immortal Envoy He Wengan. The Tang Chief got the news and reported it to the Qianyi Sect, so he sent a disciple from the Inspection Department to deal with the Xu family."

"Is it confirmed that you colluded with the Demon Sect and killed Chief He? I wonder who provided the information?" Gao Yingyuan asked immediately.

"It is absolutely true that Xu Qingxian hired casual cultivators to help him refine elixirs for a long time, and several of his alchemy rooms have been raided. According to the testimony of casual cultivators, the Xu family refines approximately 12,000 Bigu Pills every year. Excluding supply work, Sect, and the rest were all sold to the Mo Sect. Xu Qingxian privately bought a pair of battle armor for the price of two spiritual stones and three Bigu Pills. I heard that when the Qianyi Sect surrounded the Xu Mansion, Xu Qingxian also organized the Xu family monks to resist to the death. , was executed on the spot and turned into a pile of minced meat. As for who provided the information, this matter was only reported to Taoist Fellow Gao and was not allowed to be spread outside." Zhao Guang said in a low voice: "It was a secret tipped off by Xu Xingju's wife Xu Qing."

"So that's it. According to this, all the monks of the Xu family were killed, and the Xu family was ransacked and exterminated. Although the Qianyi Sect was angry, it was actually Xiao Qiang's fault. I just don't know why Xu Qingwan wanted to report the Xu family. Among them, there are What’s the secret?”

"I don't know the grudges between them. In addition, the Xu family was only ransacked and not exterminated. Only the monks of the Xu family were killed. The rest of the people were safe and sound. Moreover, not all the monks of the Xu family were killed. There were two disciples stationed abroad. Hearing the news, he ran away first, and the monks of the Qianyi Sect rushed in vain."

"Oh? Didn't they kill everyone? This is not like the Qian Yizong's style of doing things."

"Tang Xianshi believed that the chief culprit of the Xu family was Xu Qingxian, and those who did not know were not guilty. The Inspection Department wanted to kill everyone in the Xu family, but was stopped by him. There was a dispute in the inner courtyard of the Xu Mansion with the leader of the Inspection Department, and the two sides were very unhappy. .”

"Mr. Tang is a man of benevolence and righteousness, whom Gao admires. Now that Xu Qingxian and the monks of the Xu family have been executed, what will Mr. Tang do with the bigu pill industry that the Xu family was originally responsible for?"

"This is beyond my knowledge. If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye."

"Since Brother Zhao is in a hurry to leave, Gao won't force anyone to make things difficult for him. Si'er, let's see the guests off."

"No need, Master Gao, stay."

"Father, what should we do next?" Gao Si asked after Zhao Guang left.

Gao Yingyuan pondered for a while: "Go to Bianjing immediately, meet Brother Wu, inform him of the situation in Jingbei, and ask him to speak out."

In the Gao Family Mansion in Xuanhua County, the faces of the maids and servants were filled with joy. Because the head of the family, Gao Maocai, had spoken, he rewarded everyone in the mansion. Although everyone did not know why, they received a lot of rewards, so everyone was happy.

Very.?

"Father's tactic of pulling out the firewood was really clever. In one fell swoop, the entire Xu family was plunged into a place of eternal destruction. If he didn't take action, it would be a killing move. Xu Qingxian probably never thought until his death that the driving force behind all this was his father.

If he knew anything about it, he would be so angry that his whole body would be filled with smoke." Gao Yingqing said.

Everyone laughed and was very happy, and another person said: "The most brilliant thing about this plan is to kill people with a borrowed knife, without losing any blood. The eldest brother has no tricks left, and he can play with the Xu family between his bones and his palms, and easily wipe out the Xu family. It can be said that he is very well planned."

Among them, he won a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and Yudi fell to the ground in admiration."

He Maocai also had a happy face. Hearing the flattery from everyone, he waved his hand: "Fourth brother, this is an exaggeration. It seems easy, but in fact, it has been planned for nearly twenty years. I have to say that Xu Qingxian, this old fox, still has some skills. Xu Qingxian is an old fox.

The family has been prosperous and prosperous in recent years, but because of its profit-seeking and lustful nature, it ultimately failed here."

"Father, I heard that the members of the Xu family were saved from being executed by the head of Tang Dynasty. They are still in the Xu mansion and two monks have escaped. You must be careful!"

"Xu Qingxian is dead, the Xu family has been raided, and the two remaining monks are like birds missing from the forest. They are probably running away in panic. As for those mortals, they are nothing more than dog ears, so there is no point. Brother, our next focus should be on

In terms of annexing the Xu family's property, especially Bigu Pill, if you get this management right, you can grow your own medicinal herbs. Isn't the Xu family dependent on this? It's just that Xu Qingxian is too greedy. If he didn't have an affair with the Demon Sect, he would have done it

Will Zong care about such trivial matters as how many medicinal herbs he grows privately and how many elixirs he refines every year?"

"My fourth brother's words are reasonable, but I am also concerned about your concern. How did the Xu family destroy the family? It was all because they failed to eradicate the roots by cutting the grass. How could An Neng fail to take notice of the consequences of the previous car? Besides, there are some people in the Xu family who

When two young children with spiritual roots grow up, will they not bear grudges against our Gao family? If they master the technique, will they not take revenge? These are all hidden dangers in the future. Qing'er, please send a message to your aunt quickly. As for Xu

Since everyone in the family has been saved by Master Tang, we don't want to make a big show of it. We send some people disguised as thieves to enter the house and kill them. We can just kill their immediate relatives. The most important thing is the two young children with spiritual roots. Tonight we will

If you leave it too late, things will change."

Three days later, people began to arrive in Jingbei Mansion one after another since the end of the day. By Youshi, the heads of the six families had gathered together. Naturally, a banquet was prepared in the mansion, but these people obviously did not care about the rare delicacies on the table and were chatting among each other.

There was a lot of discussion, and they were all talking about the affairs of the Xu Mansion. Among the few people, only He Maocai looked calm. Although he participated in it, he could only chime in with a few words. Tang Ning arrived about a quarter of an hour later, and everyone stood up to greet him when they saw him.

.

Tang Ning went straight to the main seat and sat down, waved her hands, and everyone took their seats one after another: "I have no other intention to entertain you today. I think you must have heard about what happened in the Xu Mansion yesterday. Xu Qingxian colluded with the Demon Sect and killed Junior Brother He Wengan. The evidence is

Confirmed. So I reported it to the sect. Yesterday, the sect sent envoys here to investigate the matter. Xu Qingxian still stubbornly resisted and wanted to fight with a trapped beast. He was killed on the spot. As the head of the Xu family, his words and deeds represent the entire family. Therefore,

The monks of the Xu family are all remnants of the clan and have been punished. You are also the heads of the family. I would like to advise everyone to think twice before doing anything. If you dare to collude with the demon sect, if one person is convicted, the whole family will be punished. This is the case with the Xu family.
