Chapter 509 - Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about schemes and intrigues (1)

“Just because of this, you guys didn’t dare to move and hid in the city?” Xiao ran’s face was cold.

Cold sweat trickled down Jiang Hai’s forehead. He lowered his head and did not even dare to breathe.

His eyes were stern as if he wanted to see through him. Xiao ran said again,”did you find any clues from the previous investigation?”

“A little.” Jiang hai said.

He raised his head and tried to calm himself down.

“Before this, the previous Lords had secretly investigated. From the information they obtained, all the spearheads were pointed at Wu clan Fort.”

“Be more specific.” Xiao ran said.

“Yes.” Jiang hai explained in detail.

“The Wu clan’s Fort is called a Fort, but its level of prosperity is not inferior to an ordinary small town. In fact, it might even be slightly better. In addition to their own clansmen, there were tens of thousands of people in the castle who relied on them for a living. “Their forces are very mysterious. In our investigations, the people from Wu clan Fort seem to be secretly collecting all sorts of martial arts. Although we don’t have any evidence, all the clues point to them.”

His face was filled with fear.

It was as if the Wu clan Fort was very terrifying.

“Whether it’s US or the Sacred Martial Arts Department, the people we secretly sent to the Wu clan Fort never returned. We didn’t even find their bodies.”

He laughed bitterly.

“The previous Lord secretly investigated Wu clan Fort, and never returned.”

“In that case, Wu clan Fort is the biggest suspect?” Xiao ran said.

“Yes.” Jiang hai replied.

“What’s the current situation with the sacred martial division?” Xiao ran asked.

“It’s about the same as here. Some are dead, some are injured. The rest of the people will never mention this matter again.”

“They didn’t ask for help from the capital?”

Jiang Hai’s eyes were filled with resentment. If it was anyone else who asked him about this, he would have slapped them. However, Xiao ran was different. He did not even dare to be presumptuous.

“We’re all afraid of our superiors making things difficult for us and taking revenge later. ”

“I forgot.” Xiao ran remembered.

“The people of the sacred martial division are very snobbish. They won’t take action if there’s nothing to gain from it. Unless they have a strong enough connection and someone above them. ”

She looked at him and asked the question in her heart.

“You’ve heard of the mo family?”

“The mo family?” Jiang Hai’s brows were tightly knitted together.

He tried to recall and think for a long time, but he still couldn’t remember anything about the mo family.

He shook his head.

“I’ve never heard of them. I don’t think they’re from Shangyang County. Otherwise, there would be some news. ”

She looked at Xiao ran and told him her guess.

“This matter is related to them?”

“It’s not clear yet. It still needs to be investigated.” Xiao ran said.

“Right, my Lord, why are you here? Could it be that this matter has already reached the capital, and the higher-ups have sent you to investigate this matter?”

Xiao ran glared at him.”Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. It won’t do you any good to know more.”

“This subordinate understands.” Jiang Hai’s scalp tingled as cold sweat trickled down his back.

“Where’s the archive room? Bring me there. ” Xiao ran stood up from his chair.

“Sir, this way please!” Jiang hai gestured for him to go ahead.

“Let’s go over. ” Xiao ran said.

“Yes.” Zi ‘er nodded.

He was still wearing his bamboo hat and following behind Xiao ran.

Jiang hai was curious as to who this woman was, but he did not dare to ask.

When the people outside saw them coming out, they respectfully made way for them.

After a while.

Under Jiang Hai’s lead, they stopped in front of a room. Six people were guarding the room. When they saw them, they quickly bowed,”greetings, Sir!”

“Open the door.” Jiang hai instructed.

“Yes, my lord.” One of them stepped forward, unlocked the door, and then stepped back.

“After you, Sir special envoy!” Jiang hai gestured for him to go ahead.

“Wait for me here,” Xiao ran ordered.

He walked in with Zi ‘er and closed the door from the inside.

In the room.

There were several shelves with all kinds of files on them.

He looked at Yang Ping ‘an,”come down.”

Yang Ping ‘an flew down from his left arm. With a flash of red light, he transformed into a cold-looking young man wearing a Black Dragon robe. He said with a bitter face,”what’s the matter?”

“You don’t seem very happy?” Xiao ran asked.

“That’s not true. I just woke up and I’m feeling better now.” Yang Ping ‘an was filled with the desire to live.

“If you need anything, just tell me. If you need dragon blood, just tell me. Don’t be polite with me, just order me around.”

He looked at the mountain of files around him.

She muttered weakly in her heart, she had to do hard labor again.

“Do you see these files?” Xiao ran pointed at his surroundings.

“Help me see if there are any records of the mo clan in there.”

“Just this? It’s a piece of cake. ” Yang Ping ‘an patted his chest.

He quickly stepped forward and searched carefully.

“Let me help you, husband.” Zi ‘er took the initiative to ask for help.

“Yes.” Xiao ran responded.

She flipped through the files and searched for information on the mo family.

On the other side.

In a luxurious and grand courtyard in the north of the city.

In the study.

Mo tiange sat on a chair and read a book. Behind him, an old man stood like a piece of wood. His eyes did not move at all throughout the whole process.

If one didn’t look with their eyes, they wouldn’t be able to see him at all. It was as if he had completely integrated with the surrounding space.

However, his occasional glance contained a great pressure. An ordinary martial King realm expert might not even be able to withstand one look from him.

“Thump thump!”

The door was knocked, and a respectful voice came from outside.

“Young clan head has found out.”

“Come in.” Mo tiange’s eyes lit up and he put down the book in his hand.

The door was pushed open, and a young woman came in. Her name was mo Fei, the person in charge here.
