[190] The mastermind behind(1/2)
The noisy sound woke up the sleeping people and walked out of the shop door. From a distance, you could see the fire rising from the sky, reflecting a large dark night sky with red.
The sound of firefighting kept coming, but when people saw clearly that these firefighting were all the Zhou family's shops, and the fire was fierce, fewer and fewer people participated in the firefighting. In the end, they could only stand outside, with sympathy and gloating, looking at the burning fire with mercy.
"The fourth brother..."
When the tower rushed to Xie Feng to meet the door, it found that the door was open, and a figure was floating in the sky, looking at the raging fire in the distance.
Carter, Sherlott Mitheus and others gathered quickly. Xie Feng landed from the sky with a cold expression, and a terrifying chill flashed in his eyes, "There are eighteen stores in total, twelve of them are the Zhou family's shops, and the other six are the Yan family's shops."
"Damn it, who is so cruel to set fire!" Gaotao was angry and the others were also murderous.
"Let's go and find a way to put out the fire!" said Sherlott Metheus.
Sighing, Xie Feng shook his head: "The weather has been dry recently, and the night wind is very strong and the fire is fierce. I can't help you. I don't know if the people in the store are in trouble. Let's go and see first. Please pay attention to the people around the fire. If you find something wrong, you can arrest them immediately. I want to see who is in charge behind the scenes."
Everyone nodded and immediately took a hover car to the Zhou family's shop.
The fire was very fierce and had begun to extend to the shops and buildings on both sides. Since most of the houses in this world are made of wooden structures, although these woods are as hard as steel and have strong resistance to corrosion, they are still wood after all, and cannot withstand the erosion of flames.
Because there were too many shops where the fire occurred, Xie Feng and others went to various places where the fire was in trouble. At this time, specialists were already responsible for the firefighting work. No matter how strong Xie Feng was, he could not save the fire. The rest was to find out the people who set the fire.
The mercenary group of Yan Jiahe and Jiutian Mall dispatched more than 50 water-filled hover trucks to put out the fire. After several hours of firefighting, the fire was finally controlled and no longer spread around. But at this time, more than a dozen stores were affected and the losses were unprecedentedly heavy.
After taking a look at the flames that were gradually extinguished, a cold light flashed in Xie Feng's eyes, and his figure faintly disappeared from the spot, and then appeared in another crowd. His eyes swept across the crowd quickly, and he disappeared after not finding the suspicious person.
When he appeared on a roof again, he suddenly found that there were several sneaky people hiding in the attic, looking at the fire scene in the distance.
Xie Feng's eyes turned cold and his figure disappeared into the night sky.
In the dark corner, several people were talking in a low voice.
"Okay, the task is completed. We will go back to sleep now. We will receive the money tomorrow. Brothers will be able to have a comfortable day in the future." said the man with a scar on his face among the five.
"Boss, who do you think has such a big grudge against the Zhou family and Yan family? You have to set fire to their shops. The Zhou family has suffered a lot of losses in this fire, especially the tea shops, which are not burned at all." said an older man.
Scarface snorted, "Why are you asking so much? Anyway, you have money to collect. Have the other brothers gathered together? Let's take advantage of the chaos to leave the city so that we won't be able to leave tomorrow."
"Don't worry, boss, brothers are neat and have already walked away at this time."
"Well, okay, let's go too!" said Scarface.
As soon as these five people turned around, a voice suddenly rang behind them-
"After doing such a bad thing, do you still want to leave?"
The five people turned around and saw a person floating in the air looking at them coldly, with a terrifying murderous intent flashing in their eyes.
"ah!!"
Before the scream could be heard, the five little brothers behind Scarface had already died.
"You, who are you?" Scarface came here from other malls to commit crimes. He had no idea that there had been innate masters in Jiutian Mall. However, after all, he was a martial artist. He knew the common sense that innate masters could control energy and fly. At this moment, a congenital master appeared in front of him, and before he even saw him take action, four people had died.
Scarface was so scared that his legs were trembling. Although he did many evil things, who was not afraid of death? Obviously, the innate master in front of him heard what they had just talked and learned that they had fired the Zhou family and wanted to eliminate harm for the people.
Xie Feng took a step forward in the air, and Scar's face thumped down and begged: "Senior, please spare me, please spare me, please spare me, we are just doing our orders. This matter has nothing to do with me. It is what the young master of the Xue family wants us to do. No matter what my business is, please spare me!"
"Xue Family? Which Xue Family?" Xie Feng's cold voice sounded.
"It's the Xue family of Wuyuanxing. It was the young master of the Xue family who asked us to do this..." Scarface was halfway through his words when he suddenly suffered a heavy blow on his forehead and fainted on the ground.
He looked down and looked coldly. Xie Feng picked up Scarface with one hand, turned around and disappeared into the night.
...
It's dawn! The shop where the fire broke out turned into piles of ruins, and everything turned into nothing in the fire. The disciple who escaped from the death of the Zhou family knelt in front of the ruins, staring at everything in front of him.
Widths of blue smoke rose from time to time in the wet ruins, and the smell of smell filled the entire eastern area.
"This is called evil retribution. The Zhou family and Yan family jointly deceived other merchants and deserved it!"
"All right, just say less. Be careful of being heard by the people from the Chu family, and don't think about continuing to hang out in Qinghongxing."
"Why, what I'm talking about is the facts. They join forces to deceive people. I won't give it to you if I say a few words?"
"Oh, the Zhou family has suffered heavy losses this time. Who said that the fire was setting behind the scenes?"
"Who knows? Maybe God doesn't like the Zhou family and the Yan family, so he lets all these shops burn."
Among the onlookers, the voices of discussion were intermittent and endless. The managers of the two families next to the Zhou family shop pointed at the Zhou family's disciples and cursed, scolding the Zhou family for offending too many people and being set on fire now, and they have suffered heavy losses.
The sky became brighter and brighter, and the crowd that had been struggling for a night finally began to disperse one after another. The fire was over, but the show was not over yet. No one knows who released the fire. Such things are common in the Penglai Empire. As long as it does not affect the big figures above, the people in the Xingyao are basically too lazy to care about it.
Yan Mansion Backyard.
"Fourth brother, we caught a few guys who could do it. They walked sneakily at the gate of the royal city on the road in the middle of the night, and I smelled the smoke on these people." Gaota pointed to the people on the ground and said, "Do you think they are disciples of Ted's sect?"
Xie Feng also caught one. Obviously, the scar man he caught was the leader of the arsonist. Looking at these people, everyone in the room exuded Ling Lie's murderous intent.
The fire couldn't help but burned all the property of the Zhou family in Jiutian Mall. Zhou Tiezhu and others were also killed in the fire. Dozens of people were burned and injured by the fire. Zhou Quan is still lying in the clinic for treatment.
"These people are just murderers who set fire, and the mastermind has someone else!" Xie Feng said indifferently: "Second, read the memory of this scarface and see who is behind them."
Gaota nodded, released its mental power and rushed to Scarface's mind. After a moment, after collecting the information needed, Gaota was furious, "Damn it, it turned out that the Xue family was doing the trouble behind it. Xue Luochen, the turtle, is tired of living!"
He looked up suddenly and Gaota said to Xie Feng: "The fourth brother, the scar man is better. At noon, we meet Xue Luochen outside the city gate. Let's catch this little bastard back."
Xie Feng nodded coldly and said lightly: "Since the Xue family is playing hard, let's play with them to the end. Carter, you and Gaota will capture Xue Luochen and keep him alive. When the Zhou family arrives, we will go to Wuyuanxing first and destroy their Xue family."
"Okay!" Gaota reminded the scar man with a kick, and after controlling him, he left Yan's mansion with Carter.
Xie Feng and Sherlott Mitheus were left in the room. Ramino dragged all the people on the ground out to deal with them. Although these people were not masterminds, they were the fire they set. Leaving them in the world would only harm more people.
"I didn't expect it would be the Xue family. This fifth-class family is really cruel enough to act." Sherlock Metheus said.
Shaking his head, Xie Feng said, "How can you not be cruel and ruthless if you want to survive? It's just that the Xue family is too narrow-minded. Because of the failure of cooperation with Yan Sheng, they set fire to the Zhou family and Yan family's shops after learning the truth. It is estimated that Zhou Li and the few people who were kidnapped were done by the Xue family."
Speaking of ruthlessness, which one of the superiors is not a ruthless person? Is there less souls under Xie Feng? Half a month ago, he killed hundreds of people! Even with one order, the entire Tehartres clan was destroyed, which was a population of tens of billions! Just killing alone would kill for several months.
"What should I do next? Go to the Xue family directly? A fifth-class family has at least a few hundred warships, and we only have five, so it may be difficult." Sherlock Metheus asked.
Xie Feng frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Contact Masen and ask them to send 500 warships to dress up as robbers. Once the matter here is played, we will kill them. The Xue family cannot stay, otherwise the Yan family and the Chu family will have a lot of trouble in the future, which will be detrimental to our development."
Soon, Gaota and Carter caught the pale Xue Luochen and the Xue family manager back.
"Kneel down!" Gao Ta kicked Xue Luochen in anger and kicked him down in front of Xie Feng.
Seeing Xie Feng, Xue Luochen's face turned pale, "Young Master Jin, why are you doing? Why are you arresting me? I didn't provoke you?"
Xie Feng looked at him coldly, "Xue Luochen, your Xue family is decisive and cruel, and then he learned the secrets of the Yan family and the Zhou family, and set fire to kill people the next day."
Sure enough, Xie Feng knew the truth. Xue Luochen's heart sank and was so scared that he couldn't speak.
Gaota said from the side: "These two miscellaneous people killed Scarface as soon as they met. Carter and I were a bit far apart, and it was too late to save them."
Only Scarface knew that the whole thing was done by the Xue family who paid for it from other places, and those Scarfaced little brothers knew nothing at all. So as long as Xue Luochen killed Scarface, even if the matter ended successfully, no one knew that the Xue family did a good thing.
Xie Feng squatted down and snorted coldly, "I'm not afraid to tell you that the matter between the Yan family and the Zhou family was planned by me. Your Xue family is very brave and actually went against me. Xue Luochen, Xue Fu, do you know what the consequences of offending me, Xie Feng? The Tedmen and the Chu family are the best examples."
boom!!
Hearing Xie Feng's last words, Xue Luochen and Xue Fu's heads exploded. It's over, the Xue family is finished.
After all the calculations, I never thought that these things were all implicated by Xie Feng behind the scenes. No wonder after the Zhou family and Yan family were exposed, the Chu family would stand up and suppress the angry businessmen as soon as possible.
Others are afraid of the Chu family, but the Xue family, a fifth-class family, is not afraid. Therefore, even if the Chu family comes forward to favor the Zhou family and the Chu family, this incident makes it difficult for the Xue family to swallow their hatred, so...
But unexpectedly, behind the Zhou family and Yan family, they actually destroyed the Ted Sect and Xie Feng of the Chu family and others.
"No, no, Mr. Jin, listen to my explanation, we don't know it's you..." Xue Fu immediately rushed over and begged Xie Feng, but was kicked away by Xie Feng. He said coldly: "Carter, take these two people down to guard. At that time, I will send them two fallen leaves back to their roots for free, hum!"
On the ground, Xue Luochen's face turned blue and white, and suddenly roared: "If you want to destroy our Xue family, it's not that easy. Let's die with me!"
As he said that, he suddenly took out a palm-sized energy thunder bomb in his arms, pressed it down, and the red light suddenly lit up.
"Fuck!" Gaota roared.
Xie Feng's face changed, and in an instant, a huge amount of mental power enveloped the thunder bomb in Xue Luochen's hand, and the silver light in his whole body surged. He grabbed Xue Luochen and teleported immediately.
As soon as the two of them disappeared into the room, they heard a huge rumbling sound in the yard.
"The fourth brother!" Gaota's face changed drastically, and the others were nervous. Without saying a word, they immediately rushed out of the room and rushed towards the yard.
When he arrived at the yard, Xie Feng lay on the ground with a dusty face, his whole body shining with silver light.
"Old Fourth, how are you?" Gaota and others rushed over immediately.
Xie Feng cursed inwardly, patted the soil off his body, and stood up from the ground, "It's okay, this little energy bomb can't even hit me."
"This little bastard Xue Luochen actually has such a thing hidden on his body." Gaota glanced at the corpse that was split on the ground and couldn't help but kicked it hard, "Damn, if the fourth brother was not good, he would have thought of this guy."
Sherot Mitheus frowned and said, "In the Penglai Empire, even thermal weapons are banned. How can energy weapons appear? It seems that the Xue family is not simple."
"Well, there must be something strange about the Xue family. Let's go to the Xue family's store to see it. I guess these guys are doing serious business on the surface, but secretly conducting arms transactions." Xie Feng said.
...
The Xue family is one of the only fifth-class families in Jiutian Mall. It has a total of 21 stores in the five major areas of southeast, west, north, and central. However, the main forces are still concentrated in the eastern area, and there are eight stores here alone.
Xie Feng and others dressed up as merchants and walked into one of the shops, flirting the goods in the shops at will, but there was no sign of buying them. The shopkeeper, seeing the abnormality of Xie Feng and others, couldn't help but frown, and came forward and asked, "Masters, what do you want?"
Xie Feng glanced at him and asked, "Shopkeeper, are you buying these things here?"
The shopkeeper was stunned, a warning flashed through his eyes, but he smiled and said, "Dear Master, our products are all on the shelves, and the prices are clearly marked. What do you want to buy?"
