Chapter 861: Tracing the Origin
Xu Chunliang glanced at Hua Zhuyue and the two quietly retreated. Not long after they arrived in the mountain forest, they saw a bald head protruding from the cave. It was an old monk. He looked left and right. Make sure there is no one around, then climb up the mountain, climbing the rock wall and walking on the flat ground.
Hua Zhuyue whispered: "He is a master, do you want to follow him and have a look?"
Xu Chunliang shook his head. Judging from the conversation he just heard, the old monk should have nothing to do with sneaking into the house to assassinate him. The three guys who stayed in the cave were the focus.
After the old monk left, the two of them returned along the original path and lurked around the stone house.
Xu Chunliang knew that it was a life-threatening matter. The three people did not dare to wait too long and should go to Qiaocheng overnight to seek treatment.
The two waited for less than half an hour when they saw the three men sneaking down the mountain, starting the minivan and driving westward.
Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue then got into the car and followed them.
The journey from Canghuang Valley to Qiaocheng was only over 100 kilometers. Two hours later, the minivan had already entered the boundary of Qiaocheng.
It was already half past ten in the evening. Xu Chunliang thought they would go directly into the city for accommodation, but unexpectedly they did not enter the city, but drove into the development zone in the southern suburbs of Qiaocheng.
The van ahead is getting slower and slower.
Hua Zhuyue reminded: "They seem to have discovered it."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "It's better to find out." He drove over the van from the left.
As soon as they passed, the van accelerated and rushed forward. In fact, it was easy for Xu Chunliang to get rid of them, but he did not do that.
The van passed their car and immediately made a slash in an attempt to force their vehicle to stop.
Xu Chunliang stepped on the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road.
Three gangsters rushed out of the van, each holding an iron rod or steel pipe. The tallest guy pointed the steel pipe into the car and roared: "Get off!"
Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue looked at each other and got out of the car from the left and right doors respectively.
The three arrogant gangsters were so frightened when they saw that it was Xu Chunliang and the others that they turned around and ran away, but now it was too late to escape.
Xu Chunliang rushed up and kicked the leading gangster in the butt, knocking the **** out of him.
Hua Zhuyue stepped forward and grabbed a gangster by his hair, forcing him to the ground. He then followed up and punched him in the face.
The shortest one escaped the fastest and had already escaped to the van. Xu Chunliang snatched the iron pipe from the big man's hand, aimed at the man and threw it over. The steel pipe drew an arc and spun in the air like a windmill. Hit the little man on the back of the heart.
After being hit, the guy lost his footing and hit his head on the van. Stars flashed in front of his eyes, and he fell down while spinning.
The big man screamed: "You broke your promise. Didn't you say you would let us go?"
Xu Chunliang could tell from his voice that he should be the one talking to the old monk in the cave.
Xu Chunliang first tapped his acupuncture points, then controlled the acupuncture points of the other two people. He stuffed the two people into the van first, returned to the big man, and searched his body without spending much effort. I found the letter written by the old monk to Xia Houzun, the leader of the Tired Sect.
Xu Chunliang untied his mute point again, and the big man said: "Since you know that we are the disciples of the tired family, you'd better not make enemies of us, otherwise..."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "What else? You can't even cross the river, but you still dare to threaten me? Since I dare to follow you here, I'm not afraid of you being tired. Your uncle, the monk, is quite capable."
At this moment, the big man realized that the other party could even hear the conversation between himself and his uncle clearly, which proved that they had been followed as early as Canghuangyu. Their secrets should all be heard. He said in a trembling voice: "You...are you serious? Plant poisonous needles in my meridian points?"
Xu Chunliang said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, it's not like you're going to die right away. It's called the Autumn Queen's Life-Destroying Needle. The three of you still have about half a year to live. During these six months, you will continue to endure torture and suffering. You will be in pain, and you will not be able to survive." die."
"You are so vicious! If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why use such vicious methods?"
Xu Chunliang said: "You are so unreasonable. It was obvious that you broke into my house and wanted to kill me first. I could have killed you all at that time, but I didn't do that. I was kind and spared your lives for half a year." , you are ungrateful and actually say that I am evil, well, let’s go our separate ways and you can fend for yourself.”
Xu Chunliang said: "This is the right attitude. I can spare your life, but I have a condition, which is not difficult for you." He raised the letter in his hand and said: "Take me to see Xia Houzun , I want to ask him for an explanation face to face."
The big man was silent. Xu Chunliang should have already known the purpose of his coming to Qiaocheng tonight. If he took him there, he might be charged with betraying the tired family. If he didn't take him there, he might die tonight. Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind: "Okay, I can take you there, but you have to take out the poisonous needle from my body first." Xu Chunliang said: "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
Hua Zhuyue couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw the big man being manipulated tightly by Xu Chunliang.
The big man finally chose to obey. Xu Chunliang originally wanted Hua Zhuyue to stay behind, and he accompanied the big man to visit Xia Houzun, the leader of the Tired Sect. But Hua Zhuyue was not worried that he would go alone. She insisted on going with him no matter what, so Xu Chunliang had no choice but to agree.
The big man found a nearby open space and parked the van. Xu Chunliang restrained the two companions and threw them in the van. It would be impossible to regain their freedom without a day or a night.
The three of them got into Xu Chunliang's car.
After Xu Chunliang started the car, he said to the big man sitting in the passenger seat: "I forgot to ask your name."
“My name is Yan Hong.”
The surname Xiahou is not uncommon in Qiaocheng. According to historical records, this is the birthplace of Cao Cao. It is said that Cao Cao was originally named Xiahou.
Weimen originally focused on the practice of medicine to help the world. In the past, anyone who used various methods to treat people would end up in Weimen.
But later, with the changes of history, the Jiumen Sect changed again and split into two branches, the Internal Jiemen and the Inner Jiemen. There are many capable and conscientious doctors in the Jiekumen Sect, while the Waikumen Sect is basically a community that sells fake medicines and deceives with routines. Youyi, what we call fatigue gate nowadays usually refers to external fatigue gate.
The Waiji Sect is divided into two major factions. One is mainly engaged in selling various medicinal materials and manufacturing and selling counterfeit goods. They are mainly concentrated in the north of the Yangtze River, especially in the Central Plains. Their power is distributed in all major medicinal materials markets. It is called the Medicine Sect.
There is also a faction that focuses on medical treatment and has its own business selling folk remedies. There is also the Northern Fujian faction that has penetrated into the contracting departments of major hospitals. It is also called the medical sect within the Waiji sect.
In recent years, medical sects have been growing and blooming all over the country. However, most of the medical sects deny the relationship with Weimen. They believe that instead of being able to provide them with shelter, Weimen will have many negative impacts.
The current Wai Ti Sect basically refers to the lineage of the Medicine Sect, and Wu Yuanyi also belongs to the Medicine Sect. He resells contraband, manufactures and sells counterfeit medicines, and makes huge profits. However, last time his base was teamed up by Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue. Destroying it also resulted in heavy losses.
Yan Hong told Xu Chunliang that the person in charge of the family now was named Cao Mulan. This Cao Mulan was actually the daughter of the family leader Xia Houzun. I don’t know why her surname was Cao.
Cao Mulan's medicinal material business has been huge. It can be said that it controls the entire Chinese medicinal material market in the Central Plains. Yan Hong came to see her with this letter. Although Xia Houzun has not officially withdrawn from the world, no one has seen him in these years. When he appears in public, even if he gives orders, it is through his daughter Cao Mulan.
Wu Yuanyi has become more and more arrogant and domineering over the years and has done all kinds of outrageous things. It is also related to Xia Houzun's withdrawal. He and Xia Houzun still have a relationship. The two are sworn brothers.
Yan Hong was completely scared out of his wits by Xu Chunliang. He used to help Wu Yuanyi take care of his business in the northwest. Wu Yuanyi found him, gave him a huge sum of money, and asked him to arrange a few people to deal with Hua Zhuyue and humiliate him first when he found an opportunity. Then he took her life.
Yan Hong has been keeping an eye on Hua Zhuyue for quite some time. Due to the fact that Hua Zhuyue is very alert and she has been in the capital recently with many helpers around her, Yan Hong and the others have not been able to find a chance to make a move.
Finally, when Hua Zhuyue came to Dongzhou alone, they were planning to go to the hotel that Hua Zhuyue booked, but they didn't expect that Hua Zhuyue went to sleep at Xu Chunliang's house.
Hua Zhuyue couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry when she heard this. She raised her hand and slapped Yan Hong on the back of the head: "You bastard, how can you talk?"
Yan Hong knew he had made a mistake and quickly corrected himself: "I said something wrong. You two didn't sleep together."
Hua Zhuyue was so angry that she wished she could stab him with a knife.
Xu Chunliang said: “Let’s talk about the key points.”
Yan Hong nodded and said: "We asked Wu Yuanyi for instructions, and he urged us to take action. I have no grudge against you, and I didn't want to harm your life. Wu Yuanyi gave me the money just to buy Hua Zhuyue's life."
Xu Chunliang said: "Do you know where Wu Yuanyi is?"
Yan Hong shook his head. In fact, Xu Chunliang asked about it last night. He repeated it again. Wu Yuanyi basically contacted them through emails when they were overseas. Generally speaking, Wu Yuanyi took the initiative to contact them. In order to prove that he was not lying, Yan Hong Show them the email.
After reading it, Hua Zhuyue was convinced that Yan Hong was not lying.
By this time, they had entered the Qiaocheng Mulan Chinese Medicine Planting Base. According to Yan Hong’s explanation, Cao Mulan had always been in contact with Wu Yuanyi.
Because Wu Yuanyi was listed as a key target for arrest by the police, he fled abroad. His past business was entrusted to Cao Mulan to handle it. According to Yan Hong, if there is one person in the world who can find Wu Yuanyi, then this person should be Cao Mulan.
