”Normal sword wound!” the magnificently dressed man looked at the grey-clothed old man, ”What do you mean by there's no area worthing being suspicious about?”
”The biggest possibility is that the neighboring bandits discovered them, hence it's the dog-eat-dog!” The grey-clothed old man smiled bitterly, ”If not, under these circumstances, nobody has the strength to move these ten carriages of medicinal herbs. It could only be the bandits themselves dragging it to hide in their nests!”
”Could it be...” The magnificently dressed man stilled for a while, ”Will this be made by the guys of the Wu Family?”
”I've checked those guys from the Wu Family. The one with the highest cultivation is called Jin Nanqing whose cultivation is only at the peak of Level Two. The few of them added together, would only be as strong as the guards. Even if they could win, they must suffer a lot. It's impossible for them to be so neat. Furthermore, they do not have the ability to transport those medicinal herbs away!” The grey-clothed old man said, ”Besides, they thought that this matter is done by the bandits at Black Shakou. They even had skirmishes with them, and killed a group of bandits, helping the Flying Tiger Escort Agency reclaim their lost goods. They gained some reputation within Zhonghe City. However, they also lost one man!”
”Those bandits were all a ragtag group, not worth being mentioned!” The magnificently dressed man waved his hand, and said, ”In your opinion, could it be Liu Si keeping these goods to himself?”
”This is less likely. As Liu Si is a Level Five master, that batch of medicinal herbs is of little use to him. He is under Liu Qi Taoist whose rules are very strict, so he dared not to do that!”
”Could it be...” The magnificently dressed man seemed to have thought of something but then felt that it was somewhat impossible, ”Forget it, be it so. He is a Level Five master, so no matter how much the medicinal herbs were, it won't be of much use to him. Oh right, has he finished his work?”
”Apart from the guys from the Wu Family, all the other things have been dealt with!”
”Good, forget those medicinal herbs first. Anyway, those medicinal herbs aren't in our plan. Let the bandits rob it. When this matter is done, we'll investigate it then!”
”Yes!”
”When can we move out?!”
”Half a month later!”
”Alright, then we set off in half a month's time!” The man in gallant garment's face revealed a strand of anticipation, ”Then let me see, to what extent they can do this on earth!”
...
...
Half a month, passed in an instant!
A lot of things happened in this half a month in the Wu Family in Zhonghe City.
The Wu's robbery case was getting bigger and bigger. A few guys from the Wu's headquarter who came to investigate began to target a few groups of bandits from Black Shakou. The one who bore the brunt was Beard Ma. His right hand man Jin Yubao was killed, and he even lost a team. If it was normal times, he naturally wouldn't endure it. However, now the news was tight, Beard Ma could only endure it, and not come out. This caused the few 'chivalrous heroes' from the Wu's to unable to target him.
However, these 'chivalrous heroes' who had schemes in their hearts originally did not want to explore the goods. They only wanted to mess up the matter. Adding on to the fact that they realized Wu Yuntian's secret, they acted without too many misgivings. Apart from Beard Ma, as long as they were making a living in the vicinity of Black Shakou, like Black Three Lady and Golden Old Saber etc, they became this group of 'chivalrous heroes' suspicious targets. The originally tense atmosphere on the road had worsened. On the other hand, the Wu's branch suffered. Many people at this time came over to ask for their debts to be returned. Even though these were all done in secret, many people came. Things naturally couldn't be hidden. Up till this moment, people then realized that Wu Yuntian owed so much debt outside. And these debts were far over what he could bear. In fact, it was even over what some mid-sized well-known families could bear.
Once this piece of news was released, instantly it attracted all sorts of guesses. Within a moment, gossips spread, there were even some people who said that this batch of Wu's goods that was stolen was stolen by Wu Yuntian.
Guarding the theft!
”Dang!”
In the Wu's branch study room, there were sounds of ”ping ping, pang pang”. Outside the room there were a few servants, looking at each other. Their faces were full of bitterness, yet no one dared to enter.
”Bastard, bastard, bastard, they were all bastards. They didn't think that, these few decades, but for me, how could their business be run till it was so big. They didn't think that, but for me, but for me—!”
Wu Yuntian was pale. He was much skinnier than half a month ago. Originally black hair had become a little gray.
The room inside was a mess!
