Chapter 1164: Raising troops to investigate crimes
The carriage finally stopped at the door of Yan's house. Then, the people wrapped in big cloaks were seen jumping off the carriage one by one and walking towards the Yan family's gate.
The door of the Yan family was open, and naturally there was a steward responsible for welcoming guests. After seeing the visitor, he quickly greeted him. First there was a greeting, and then there was a brief exchange, but the voices were all very low, and I don’t know what both parties said. Perhaps, one party should state his intention and the other party should ask about the situation. Then, those people wrapped in cloaks were invited into the Yan family's mansion. As for their carriage, a servant of the Yan family came out to lead the horse, and eventually disappeared into the Yan family's mansion.
As a result, the door of Yan's house was finally closed, and the street in front of the door returned to calm again. As for the appearance of those people before, it was so common that even if someone saw it, they would soon forget it.
However, the more commonplace things are, there are often huge secrets hidden behind them. Now that Huan Yin is using the power of the Yan family to plot the entire Western Eight Heavens, the situation will be even more like this.
Not long after, the dozen or so people wrapped in large cloaks were led into the deepest part of the Yan family by the Yan family's stewards. Here, there is a huge meeting hall. The hall has been decorated very formally at the moment. Many core members of the Yan family are already waiting here. The leader is Hu Zi.
Just looking at the layout of the meeting hall and the waiting members of the Yan family, it was enough to tell that they were waiting for an extremely important guest. And after they saw the people wrapped in cloaks arriving, everyone with Beard as the leader stood up and greeted them directly out of the meeting hall. This not only showed that these were the people they were waiting for, but also that these people were interested in the meeting. For them, they must not neglect it.
"My Lords of Heaven, distinguished guests, Lord Devapala, Beard has been waiting here for a long time!" As soon as Beard greeted him, his face was full of smiles, and he even clasped his fists at the visitor. And it is not difficult to tell from his words that those so-called "traveling merchants" who seem to be ordinary people are none other than Defa, headed by Defa Polo, the current head of the Defa family and the helmsman of the Defa family business alliance. A core member of the family business alliance. Of course, they also have an even more astonishing identity, that is, they are the core members of the Western Eight Heavenly Government, the kings of each city, and the great king. Although, they might just be puppets.
When more than a dozen people wrapped in cloaks saw Beard coming out, they stood still. Then, headed by the person standing at the front, they all took off their cloaks. As a result, different faces appeared in the light, some had extraordinary temperament, and some were shrewd and capable. The person at the head has a particularly outstanding temperament and has the typical demeanor of a superior person. Even if he looks plain, his face is old, his beard and hair are all gray.
The first person is naturally Devaboro. It seems that his role as the puppet king is not all in vain. This has been clearly revealed from his demeanor.
However, after Devaboro revealed his true appearance, he was not as polite as the beard. He actually gave people a cold feeling. After looking at his beard for a long time, he said: "Our status is sensitive. If we enter your house, we won't be discovered by being followed."
Devaboro's attitude was cold, and those behind him were naturally expressionless as well.
Bearded Beard did not feel unhappy when he saw their appearance. He only smiled relaxedly and said: "Master Devaboro, I am very clear about the importance of what we have planned during our meeting. So please don't worry, your appearance will No outsider will know. What's more, you are extremely clever in coming here disguised as traveling merchants, so why worry about it?"
Now that Devapolo has come to conspire with the Yan family, it is natural for both parties to cooperate and jointly overthrow Ku Yi. This matter is too important and too sensitive, so how can Huzi not make arrangements? Huzi knew that Phantom's people might be watching him at any time, so he had already asked Shadow Lord to handle these matters.
However, Devapollo and others are also really clever in dressing up as traveling merchants. They drove here openly, but it seemed too ordinary. Even if they are really discovered by the military, they will probably be automatically ignored soon. That way, the whole thing becomes less of a worry.
After hearing Beard's words, Devaboro suddenly sneered, and then his voice suddenly rose, and he shouted: "Since you know that our cooperation is of great importance, why do you still stab me in the back!? Don't you let me go?" In your eyes?"
"Hmph, if your Yan family does things like this, the worst we can do is to defeat both of you!" As soon as Defabolo's voice fell, a middle-aged man behind him snorted coldly, and then shouted loudly.
"What a Yan family, they actually bullied us. Who do you think you are? Do you know how long we have been operating in this Western Eight Days? Do you know that Lord Devaboro is still the great king here!?"
Another voice came from behind Devaboro again, and then there were voices one after another, each one more dissatisfied than the last.
In this way, in just an instant, Devaboro and a dozen other people already exuded a strong momentum. As the kings and locals of the Western Eight Heavens, as well as local business tycoons, they are obviously not easy to mess with.
However, how can Beard be a person who has never seen the world? The real Great Heavenly King is nothing more than this in front of him, let alone a puppet Great Heavenly King leading a puppet group? Moreover, this puppet group is already declining and dying. What's more, why is Beard Xiu so powerful? Although Devapala was strong, a puppet Great King was still far behind compared to him. In this way, the beard has nothing to fear.
So, it was seen that Huzi was waiting for the other party to finish yelling, and then he just smiled lightly and said: "Master Defa, standing and talking will inevitably hurt your back, so why not go to the hall and have tea!"
Devaboro had come into contact with beards once and knew the power of beards. However, he was not afraid, so he hummed heavily, swung his sleeves, and walked into the council hall with everyone behind him.
After everyone sat down, good tea was served. Everyone in the Yan family picked up their tea bowls and sipped tea, but Defapolo and his party did not touch their tea bowls at all, and they still looked aggressive and wanted to attack the enemy.
Soon, Devaboro spoke: "Master Beard, please give me a reasonable explanation for what you just said!"
Naturally, Beard already knew what Devapollo meant by "stabbing in the back." In the past three months, Huan Yin traveled around and poached 90% of the members of the Defa family business alliance. For every family that was poached, Devapolo's bargaining chip was reduced by five million immortal jade. In this way, the benefits that Huan Yin took away were already an extremely terrifying figure.
And from the looks of it now, Devapollo must have been holding back his energy for the past three months. Due to the oath they swore, they have been unable to take action and can only watch the members of their alliance leave them one by one. Therefore, it is understandable that they were rude and ungrateful when they came today to investigate the crime.
Hu Hu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Master Defa, we are all businessmen. Our Yan family has not broken any rules. What explanation do you want?"
When Defarpolo heard this, he was furious: "You also know that we are all businessmen? If you know that, why don't you even have the most basic sincerity? At this point, if you can't give a reasonable explanation, Let’s not talk about this cooperation today!”
Devaboro's words were already threatening Beard. However, Hu Zi was still not panicked. At this point, Devaboro felt something was wrong. He remembered that the last time he discussed with Huzi, this trick was very effective.
After a long while, Huzi said: "Master Defa, do you really want an explanation?"
Devaboro shouted: "It must be done!"
Huzi smiled: "Well, in that case, I can't give you this explanation anymore. I can only ask an adult to give it in person."
Devaboro didn't understand and asked: "What do you mean by this? You are now in charge of the Yan family. Do you still want to shirk it?"
Defarpolo didn't know about Huan Yin's existence. Firstly, he had never been in contact with Huan Yin. Secondly, when Huan Yin moved around during this period, all his traces were secretly covered and covered up by Shadow Lord. It's past. Therefore, in fact, Defarpolo still doesn't know that Huan Yin poached him. He only thinks that Huanzi asked an expert for help.
Hu Zi said: "I never said that I am in charge of the Yan family. It's just that the adult in my family left for a year due to important matters, so I took care of it temporarily. Now that he has returned, he still has the final say in this matter. ”
Devaboro raised his brows, obviously not expecting Beard to say that. But soon, his expression turned gloomy again, and he became slightly angry: "Then why hasn't that gentleman come forward yet? Is it because he looks down on us and thinks we are not worthy of being received by him?"
As the Great Heavenly King, Devapala was a puppet, but he was still proud of himself. What's more, his influence in the Western business world is huge. Now, when he heard Huzi say that the real person in charge hadn't come yet, he naturally felt that he had been insulted. The Yan family treated guests too poorly and looked down upon them.
However, Beard's answer was even more unacceptable to Devaboro: "Well, that's true."
