Chapter 49 The Zhou Family in Fucheng
On the way to the Li family land, Li Mo couldn't help but ask Li Jiahao:
"Captain, when did Zeng Xiaokuo disappear?"
Hearing this, Li Jiahao said: "We don't know exactly when. About a week ago, the patriarch suddenly wanted to see Zeng Xiaokuo again, so he sent people to look for him, but he couldn't be found."
"That means he might have disappeared a long time ago?" Li Mo thought for a while and then asked: "But why did the patriarch suddenly want to see Zeng Xiaokuo?"
"I don't know. Maybe there's something going on. I want to ask him again." Li Jiahao said casually.
......
In the lobby of the Li family, Li Jiahao walked in with Li Mo.
At this time, Li Shengzheng and Li Lifeng were sitting in the hall drinking tea.
"Chief, Li Mo brought it."
Li Jiahao said to Li Sheng, who was sitting in front, and stood aside.
"Do you know where Zeng Xiaokuo is now?" Seeing this, Li Sheng asked Li Mo directly.
"I don't know. We separated after we left the Li family last time, and we never contacted each other again." Li Mo replied immediately after hearing this.
"Then before you separated, did he say anything to you?" Li Sheng continued to ask.
Li Mo pretended to think for a while, and then said: "He seemed to have said at that time that he was afraid of being retaliated by the remnants of the Qingshi Gang and the Qingyi Gang, and wanted to find a place to hide."
Of course, he couldn't say that Zeng Xiaokuo decided to hide after listening to his words. Otherwise, if Li Shengfei came to ask for someone from him, he would be in trouble.
"Hiding?" Li Sheng frowned when he heard this and continued to ask: "Didn't you say anything else?"
"No more." Li Mo immediately lowered his head and replied.
After hearing this, Li Sheng thought for a while and said: "Okay, you can go down, don't think too much, I just ask casually.
It actually doesn’t matter whether we can find him now or not.”
......
After Li Mo and the others left.
Li Lifeng said: "Brother, so Zeng Xiaokuo probably hid out of fear, or ran away directly?"
Li Sheng thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say. If he is hiding, as an ordinary person, I asked the family to search for him for so long. It is impossible that there are no clues at all.
If he was escaping, he would have to leave the city. However, Maplewood City has been under martial law for a while. If he left the city, he would definitely leave a message.
Moreover, according to the information reported by family members, after Zeng Xiaokuo left our Li family’s land, he disappeared that night, as if he had disappeared from the world."
"So there must be something wrong with Zeng Xiaokuo?" Li Lifeng said coldly.
Hearing this, Li Sheng shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, I just doubt it.
It is also possible that members of the Qingshi Gang and Qingyi Gang found him before escaping.
He disappeared because he was poisoned by those people.
But let’s stop here.
Why did he disappear? What is the relationship with that big man?
What does it have to do with us now? We have more important things to deal with.
The two major martial arts schools have been eliminated. The Lei family sent a letter two days ago saying that their clan has made a decision.
Next, we will send the Zhou family in the city to settle in Maplewood County and share the management of Maplewood City with our Li family.
This is our most important thing right now."
"Damn it, our Li family finally managed to become the dominant one in Fenglin County, so the Lei family sent another family to check and balance us. Have all the resources provided to the Lei family over the years been in vain?" Li Lifeng was angry when he heard this.
vocal channel.
Li Sheng sighed and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Our Li family's strength has been depleted too much. Now there are only a dozen or so Bone Forging Realm warriors left in the family, and only Zang Refining Realm warriors are left.
There are two of us, Li Xing. Li Xing also lost an arm and his combat power was greatly reduced.
It is indeed beyond our capabilities to manage Maplewood City and the two small towns.
Under such circumstances, even if the members of the Lei family we have taken refuge in want to speak for us within the clan, they will not get support."
......
On the way back, Li Mo asked doubtfully: "Captain, what does the clan leader mean? Do you still want to find Zeng Xiaokuo?"
Li Jiahao shook his head and said: "Since the patriarch has said so, he should not look for it."
"Oh, that's it." Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked again: "By the way, Captain, is there any result in Fucheng's pursuit of Shi Dalong and the two major martial arts schools?"
"There was news just a few days ago. Except for Shi Dalong and the master of the Cheng Family Martial Arts Hall who escaped, everyone else was killed, including Ji Fenghua, the master of the Ji Family Martial Arts Hall." Li Jiahao said with a smile.
"What is the relationship between those two martial arts schools and the Qingshi Gang? I'm still a little confused now." Li Mo continued to ask.
"Don't tell me it's you, most people are probably kept in the dark. I only found out about it recently.
The Tsing Yi Gang was secretly established by two martial arts schools, you must already know that, right?" Li Jiahao asked.
"I know this, and I heard that the people from the Qingshi Gang were able to enter the city smoothly because the people from the Tsingyi Gang provided cover." Li Mo nodded quickly.
Li Jiahao nodded and continued to explain: "The owner of the Ji Family Martial Arts School revealed a lot of information before his death. According to him, the two gym owners broke through to the Zang Refining Realm because of Shi Dalong's help.
However, they didn't know that Shi Dalong was a demon servant. They asked the Tsing Yi Gang to cover their entry into the city. They just thought that they had suffered a big loss from the Li family and wanted to take revenge on the Li family. And they were also happy to see the two of us interacting with each other.
Fighting consumes strength.
But I never expected that Shi Dalong and the others would raise demons in the city.
After the news about the raising of demons in No. 77 Courtyard came out, they still had a sense of luck.
But when Shi Dalong and his men found them, they gave up completely.
Raising monsters is a taboo for the human race. Even if they are only contaminated a little, it will be enough to break them to pieces, so they have to choose to escape with their relatives."
"That's not right. Since it was discovered that the Tsing Yi Gang may be colluding with the Qingshi Gang that night, why didn't the family master and the others immediately take down the two martial arts schools and give them time to escape?" Li Mo said doubtfully.
"Nonsense, if they could really win the two major martial arts schools, why wouldn't the family master and the others not take action?
Use your brain, Shi Dalong and the two martial arts masters alone are the three masters of the Zang Refining Realm. No one knows how much strength they have secretly.
As for our clan leader, the elders of the Cai family and the elders of the Qizhen Pavilion, they are only three masters of the Zang Refining Realm, so there is no way we can be sure of defeating each other. Taking rash actions will only increase casualties." Li Jiahao said with a speechless expression.
.
"I see, is this what the clan leader said?" Li Mo said with relief.
"Of course I guessed it. Why would the patriarch tell me this?" Li Jiahao said angrily.
Hearing this, Li Mo looked stunned.
Before he could speak again, Li Jiahao immediately continued: "Okay, these are not things you should care about.
The Zhou family in Fucheng will soon move to Maplewood City to settle down, and they will be in charge of Maplewood County together with our Li family.
Fenglin County is likely to return to the state where the north and south regions were divided and governed like before the Huang and Li families.
You must be mentally prepared and ready to evacuate from Beicheng District at any time.
This is what you should be thinking about."
"The Zhou family in Fucheng? Isn't this an obvious attempt to steal the cake from our Li family?" Li Mo said in shock.
"This is something that the clan leaders should consider. We just need to do our own thing.
Whatever the higher-ups decide, we will implement it. Why do you care so much?" Li Jiahao immediately scolded after hearing this.
