Chapter 193 A heart-breaking plan
After confronting the old woman of the Zheng family for a while.
In the end, the elegant old man retreated temporarily.
First of all, they are all in the city now. If the two of them from the Xiantian Realm fight here, it will definitely affect the nearby city residents.
At that time, if they violate the prohibition of the Holy Mountain, they will definitely be held accountable by the Holy Mountain, or even arrested and imprisoned.
Although he had enough reasons, the old woman had not actually carried out the human sacrifice after all, so it really started to quarrel. In the end, I was afraid that each of them would get fifty points, and both of them were at fault.
Secondly, the old man saw madness and determination in the eyes of the old woman of the Zheng family.
He could feel that if he really wanted to stop the old woman, she would really fight him desperately.
This old woman has only a few years left to live, so she doesn't care about anything.
But the old man didn't want to accompany her to be so crazy and involve himself in it.
So he decided to take a step back for now.
However, before leaving, the elegant old man still advised: "Mrs. Zheng, living sacrifices are too cruel, against the laws of heaven, and detrimental to moral integrity. You are dragging the Zheng family into a situation of eternal disaster. Please think more about it."
Hmph! Old man, if you don't dare to fight, just get out of here, don't be an eyesore!
And which of your eyes can see that I am going to perform a human sacrifice? I am just dealing with some disobedient servants. Even people from the Holy Mountain, they can't interfere with my Zheng family's affairs! "The old woman said with an indifferent expression.
When the elegant old man saw this, he knew that the old woman was completely bewildered and could not persuade her at all.
He shook his head and had to turn around and leave.
Looking at the old man's leaving figure, the old woman had a look of disdain in her eyes.
· these old guys in the city, when her eldest son was killed by the foreign innate realm, she came to her door and begged them to join forces with her to help avenge her.
As a result, everyone was resistant and unwilling to help.
If they were willing to help back then, how could she have been seriously injured and her lifespan shortened.
It's better now, she is just dealing with some minions, and she jumps out to stop them one by one.
A bunch of hypocrites, bah!
The elegant old man was walking home somewhat heavily. Suddenly, his expression changed and he looked at the top of a tower not far away.
I saw an old man with gray hair and a boyish face, and a middle-aged man with a face as white as jade, standing on top, smiling.
"You are here too?"
The elegant old man moved slightly, jumped a few times, and also reached the top of the tower.
"The innate pressure of the two of you has almost filled half of the city. Can we not come over?"
The old man with gray hair and childlike face said helplessly: "Brother Lin, why do you bother to provoke that old woman? It's not like you don't know her temper. She is no longer the person we knew when we were young."
"But she wants to perform a human sacrifice. This method is too cruel and harms the peace of heaven. It will definitely bring about the accusation from the Holy Mountain. By then, I'm afraid the entire Zheng family will suffer."
"Then let her do it!" The man with a face as white as jade said nonchalantly, "This old woman wants to drag the Zheng family to death, can seniors not be able to stop her?"
The elegant old man shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing.
The old man with gray hair and boyish face knew what he was thinking.
They had a friendship with the old woman of the Zheng family and the deceased ancestor of the Zheng family. When they were young, they even became friends.
It was only later that due to differences in ideas and some life encounters, we gradually drifted apart and gradually stopped contacting each other.
But it was obvious that the elegant old man still cared about this friendship in his heart.
The man with a white jade face is a junior and does not understand these things.
"Brother Lin, I know you still remember the promise we made when we were young, but you should also understand that the old woman has changed a long time ago. She is no longer the heroine in white that we met back then.
She is now a vicious, paranoid, crazy, indifferent person. She is already a different person."
The old man with gray hair and childlike face persuaded earnestly.
The elegant old man was silent. After a while, he sighed: "Of course I know this, but even if I don't care about the old woman, I should stop this. You didn't see the miserable condition of those people just now. There are babies under one year old inside, so I can't bear it."
Senior Lin, you are overcautious. Don't forget, there is also the City Lord's Mansion.
Our Lord, the City Lord, is not a weak person. If that old woman is really The city lord's palace will definitely not sit idly by if he wants to carry out human sacrifice.
Otherwise, how will he serve the people in Cangzhou in the future? "
The man with a face as white as jade said.
The elegant old man paused for a moment, then his eyes brightened slightly, and he slowly fell into deep thought.
Although the conflict between the old woman of the Zheng family and the elegant old man did not break out in the end, their conversation eventually fell into the ears of many people.
Hence, the news about the ancestors of the Zheng family holding a living sacrifice to commemorate their recently deceased grandson began to spread quietly in the city.
"Yuanhao, I asked you to find the thief who killed Yu'er, how did the investigation go?"
Zheng Mansion, the old woman asked the Zheng family head with an indifferent expression.
"Mother." The head of the Zheng family was a little confused.
"Hai'er has used all the power in the government to trace it, but not even a trace can be found.
I only know that the black-clothed warrior who killed Yu'er should be a martial arts master who is proficient in hidden weapons and boxing techniques.
About his identity, nothing could be found. This person seemed to appear out of thin air. There was never a shred of information about him in the entire Cangzhou. "
"Can't find it? According to you, Yu'er's death was in vain?" The old woman looked at her second son and said.
Wouldn't you use other forces? If someone destroyed a stronghold in Qishao Tower, why don't you show it? "
The head of the Zheng family was startled. He really hadn't thought of this level.
The old woman felt even more disappointed when she saw her second son's dull appearance.
If her eldest son was still alive, how could he not even think of this little thing?
"My mother's lesson is that the child should go to Qishalou to find out the news." The head of the Zheng family came back to his senses and said quickly.
"Yeah." The old woman snorted softly.
The room fell into silence again.
After a while, the head of the Zheng family remembered another piece of news reported by the spies in the mansion. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to speak.
"Mom, there are rumors in the city that our Zheng family is going to hold a human sacrifice. If this rumor spreads widely, it will be very detrimental to our Zheng family."
"Really, that's exactly what I want!"
I never thought that the old woman was not surprised at all, but sneered.
"I just want this rumor to spread all over the world, preferably further, throughout the entire Cangzhou."
Hunted by the thief who killed Yu'er, didn't he keep saying that he wanted justice for those slaves who were hooked on the fence?
Since he calls himself chivalrous, and now so many people are about to die miserably because of him, I want to see if he dares to stop it then! "
"Mother, you..."
The head of the Zheng family was shocked, never expecting that his mother had such an idea.
"Don't worry, although I hate it in my heart, I'm not really stupid yet, so how can I really do such a thing as a human sacrifice? You just need to make preparations as I said."
"Yes, mother, let's make arrangements now!"
After knowing that his mother was not really crazy, the head of the Zheng family was greatly relieved.
Him immediately bowed and went happily to arrange things.
But he didn't see that behind him, his mother's eyes suddenly turned cold and malicious.
