Chapter 841 Finished
Tianji Pavilion, inside the Astrology Building.

The old man, who looked frail and frail, slowly glanced at the people below.

When he was in Tianji Pavilion, when the Pavilion Master was there, as the ninth adopted son, he was cautious, servile, and even spoke with trepidation.

But in his own territory and in front of his own team, the old man has the final say and is a person of high power and influence!

He is the supreme being that all other ants have to look down upon!

This is the charm of power, this is the embodiment of status.

Looking down at everyone, the ninth adopted son Jin Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Someone is interfering with our investigation."

He was looking at his think tanks and confidants.

Ever since his adoptive father gave the order, he has been investigating without stopping, but there is no wall that is impenetrable.

As soon as they started to take action, the other eight meridians immediately followed suit and made small movements.

The death of Eunuch Xu could not be concealed, so the people from the other eight clans knew exactly what they were going to do.

Only the forces of the other eight clans can withstand the wrath of their adoptive father and dare to do anything unnecessary.

As for the guesses and speculations of his previous brothers, he also had some ideas, but he didn't dare to express them. Moreover, compared with those bizarre guesses, the actions of the other eight clans now further verified his ideas.

Eunuch Xu, my righteous brother, unexpectedly died at the hands of the other eight clans!

Otherwise the investigation would not have been so seriously disrupted.

"Sir, Eunuch Xu died last night, but there were riots in many places in the capital this morning. It is clear that someone is interfering and confusing us, disrupting our investigation, and distracting our attention. In my opinion, there are two possibilities. The first is that the murderer who killed Eunuch Xu last night is related to one of the places where the incident happened this morning. The second is that all the riots are smokescreens, and the real murderer is hiding outside the scope of our investigation."

Someone rushed to speak from the audience. It turned out to be a plump and curvaceous woman.

Yu Wen Wuji was sitting in the last corner of the seat, carefully observing the woman, his brain already working at high speed.

Given his strength, ability, status, background, etc., he should not have the opportunity to attend such an occasion.

Fortunately, the leader of Tianji Pavilion is very protective of his people.

As a eunuch, he was extremely protective of each of his adopted sons.

That is why the death of Eunuch Xu caused such a serious incident and was taken so seriously that the entire Tianji Pavilion was mobilized to deal with the matter.

Also because of the protection of the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, the adopted sons under the name of Eunuch Xu all had certain arrangements and destinations.

Just like dividing the inheritance, as the eldest adopted son of Tianji Pavilion, Eunuch Xu has a group of talented people under his command. But even so, his requirements for accepting adopted sons are still very harsh. Those who can be adopted as adopted sons must have made outstanding contributions to Eunuch Xu, or have great functions and abilities.

Of course, Yuwen Wuji was not included in this list, but what he could offer was of considerable weight, so he was adopted as an adopted son as an exception.

Even so, an adopted son is an adopted son. It is impossible that the adopted son adopted by Eunuch Xu of Tianji Pavilion would have no arrangements just because Eunuch Xu died.

As the other adopted sons were divided and incorporated, the adopted sons under Eunuch Xu were all divided up and taken in by the other adopted sons of Tianji Pavilion respectively.

Of course, they have been taken in, but it is hard to say how they will be treated. After all, they are not truly one of their own, and someone else's adopted son is, after all, someone else's.

Therefore, Yuwen Wuji also understood that if he did not show his personal role in this short period of turmoil, it would not be long before he would be marginalized, put on ice, and eventually disappear under the name of Jinxiao, a dispensable person, and there would be no chance for him to participate in a meeting of this level again.

Yuwen Wuji was well aware of his current situation, so he needed to observe people's words and expressions and find a way out.

After all, after today, he might be completely marginalized, and Eunuch Xu's influence would completely disappear. Even if the head of Tianji Pavilion would occasionally mention him again, it would have nothing to do with him, a small follower who had just become Eunuch Xu's new adopted son.

"Fate is unfair, so I will make my own way!"

Yuwen Wuji took a deep breath. He had endured humiliation and encountered so many setbacks and hardships along the way. How could he stop here?

By leveraging the power of the imperial court, he will surely have a place in the fight for the Red Immortal's inheritance.

Yuwen Wuji is well aware of his own weakness. If he wants to achieve great success with small efforts, he must take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, he must maintain a stable connection with the support of the court.

Therefore, Yuwen Wuji was observing, observing the plump woman who spoke.

After Lord Jinxiao spoke, only the plump woman was the first to respond.

This shows that women have a good status among the people.

Moreover, even if you speak without restraint and say nonsense or ambiguous words, you will not be punished.

This is a kind of confidence.

This is a very simple speculation, because if it were Yu Wen Wuji, he would never dare to be the first to speak, let alone put forward two possibilities, but he would not stand for any of the opinions.

Not taking a stand is a sign of incompetence.

Everyone can analyze, but making definite guesses and being willing to take responsibility for them is a sign of ability.

The officialdom is like a battlefield. If the humble Yuwen Wuji wants to survive in such an occasion, he must have such keen insight.

Sure enough, after the plump woman spoke, no one else spoke until Jiu Yizi frowned slightly. Then the people below panicked and some of them quickly stood up and bowed their heads.

"Sir, I think what Miss Wang said is absolutely right, so whether it is confusing the public or getting away with it, we should start investigating!"

Both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong.

But in essence, it is still Tai Chi.

But after all, she is a practical person and she accepted the task. She is naturally much better than the plump woman who is a gangster.

"We are willing to investigate the place where the incident happened today. I have asked my subordinates to investigate. Today, more than a dozen small and medium-sized families have encountered incidents one after another. Some other forces have also experienced minor disturbances. It is worth paying attention to."

Someone took the lead, and those belonging to this faction immediately followed.

Yuwen Wuji immediately locked his eyes on that person.

He was dressed as a military general and was quite conspicuous.

Obviously, this person is the leader of the faction under the name of Jiu Yi Zi.

but……

Where there are interests, there are disputes.

"Sir, according to what Miss Wang said, those places where the incident happened are most likely used to cover up the truth. The real culprit is lurking in other areas. As the saying goes, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Maybe the thief is hiding in the area near the place where the incident happened."

"Time waits for no one. The longer a case is delayed, the more clues will disappear. Especially for a serious case like Lord Xu, there are many people involved. If we don't race against time, I'm afraid all the traces will be cleared up and the case will never be solved. So... we must concentrate our manpower and conduct limited investigations on the unexpected areas of today's interference and conduct key investigations!"

A sturdy man with a protruding belly stood up slowly, clasped his fists and spoke in a deep voice.

Every word and action gives people a sense of calmness in doing things.

Moreover, as he stood up, almost most of the others expressed their support for this person's ideas. The speed of their support and the positive response made Yuwen Wuji immediately recognize this person's status under the name of the Ninth Adopted Son.

"Master Fulun is absolutely right!"

"I support Master Fulun's idea!"

"We must seize this opportunity. How can these villains deceive you with their clumsy tricks?" "Today's incident, the actions of the other eight sects have actually exposed a lot of things, which completely proves what you are thinking. The only thing we need to confirm is which sect is going against our Tianji Pavilion and against you!"

There is no doubt that compared to the man dressed as a military general, the burly man with a pot belly in front of him is the most influential person in Jiu Yi Zi's internal team.

Those remaining people seemed to be subordinates of the man dressed as a military general, but most of them remained silent instead of directly expressing their support for the man dressed as a military general.

It goes without saying which side is stronger.

Yu Wen Wuji's heart moved, as if he had thought of something, but he still did not express his opinion.

As a shrewd man, Yuwen Wuji must have understood that if he couldn't stand on the right side within a short period of time, he would be quickly marginalized and would never have the chance to appear in front of such a big shot again.

Compared with the powerful Lord Fulun, the relatively weak man dressed as a military general actually gives him more room to maneuver.

"Fu Lun's idea is brilliant and the angle is tricky. It is indeed not much different from what I thought. In this case, I will leave this matter to you. I need the latest results within three days. Do you understand?"

The ninth adopted son, Jin Xiao, although old and frail, narrowed his eyes at this moment, exuding a sense of pressure, as if a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, which immediately startled everyone present.

"Yes!"

Fu Lun clasped his fists and responded in a deep voice.

Every word and action he takes is calm and composed, and he has his own demeanor.

Even just judging from his performance, this guy is more credible than the guy dressed as a general.

"He Yu, I won't stop you. Just go ahead and investigate. If you find any results, there will be a big reward!"

The general, dressed in iron armor, immediately knelt down with his fists clasped and accepted the order.

"Foster father, I will not fail you!"

Seeing this, the remaining silent people also expressed their willingness to lend a helping hand to He Yu.

Just a small part, no movement.

Obviously, this group of people is a small minority of the wavering group.

Although Yuwen Wuji glanced at this group of people, he was not prepared to join them.

Fence-sitters are never welcomed at any time.

The fact that this group of people were able to stay might be due to Jiu Yi Zi's skill in controlling his subordinates and it was a deliberate arrangement, but marginalization was also inevitable.

The two representative figures took their leave and took away the two groups of subordinates. The meeting room suddenly became deserted.

Yuwen Wuji naturally stood up and walked away. In the corner of his eye, he saw the plump Miss Wang, and naturally walked forward and fell into the arms of his old and frail ninth adopted son.

The body gets older, but the body doesn’t!
There is no warrior with a bad physique.

Seeing that Yuwen Wuji was about to leave, those silent third parties seemed to want to keep him, but Yuwen Wuji left too quickly, so they suppressed their desire.

After Yu Wen Wuji left the room, he headed in the same direction as He Yu left.

……

Bo Mansion.

"Bo Shang went too late, and the people were not saved. The third elder died in the battle. Bo Wu, Bo Lou, and Bo Hu are also dead. Bo Li and the others are seriously injured and unconscious. Fortunately, Bo Fu's injuries are relatively minor, otherwise..."

Bo Changquan looked very unhappy. When he said this, his face was impulsive, obviously filled with anger, and his expression was terribly gloomy.

Although he couldn't say that he cared that much about these grandchildren, he was still angry because the person had really died.

Fang Yu was stunned.

To be honest, he couldn't quite remember which juniors Bo Changquan was talking about. The only one he remembered was Bo Li, that big sister-like guy.

Although Boli did not die, he was seriously injured and unconscious. It was obvious that this attack had caused heavy losses to the Bo family.

Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In his opinion, the Bo Mansion, which was considered to be a somewhat prestigious family in the capital, seemed to be riddled with holes under this attack, and had almost no power to resist.

No matter how big the family is or how famous it is, it’s all bullshit in front of absolute strength.

"Who did it?" Fang Yu asked.

Bo Changquan looked at him and uttered only two words.

"demon."

Fang Yu understood that it was not a demon, or to be more precise, it was not a wild demon. But in this kind of situation, if someone refused to let go, there was nothing you could do.

The demons raised by the city’s powerful people are useful here.

Even Fang Yu felt a hint of regret.

If he had known that those youngsters outside were attacked by demons, he should have rushed out of the city with the Third Elder and fought in the wild.

"Didn't the people from Yudifu help?"

Outside the city gate, there are people from the Yudifu. Within a certain range, the support from the Yudifu is still quite fast.

"There were reinforcements, but they were not strong enough to be effective."

Having said that, no one can tell whether there is any fishy thing going on.

Due to his old age, Bo Changquan's temper is quite hot-tempered now, and he is very angry.

Fang Yu didn't want to bring bad luck, so he just said in a deep voice.

"I am also responsible for this matter. If everything goes well, I will find a way to give you an explanation."

Bo Changquan frowned slightly.

"No need to do that, Brother Diao. This matter has nothing to do with you. I did it on my own accord. Whatever I do is what my heart desires. I don't need anyone to explain it to me!"

After a pause, he continued.

"But... I will find someone to give an explanation for this matter! There must be an explanation!"

That fierce look seemed to make him return to the ruthlessness he had when he first came to Beijing to work hard.

For too long, he has been hiding his edge for too long. For the sake of his family and for stability, he has endured his true nature for too long.

The slight exposure at this moment is his true character, that kind of hostility that would rather die in disgrace than surrender is his true face!
Fang Yu didn't know what to say about this, so he just remained silent for a moment and said.

"Where are Bo Li and the others? I'll ask Ding Hui to go check on them and help them recover from their injuries."

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Diao. In addition, the safety of Bo Mansion may still require your care. I need to be out for about an hour."

Fang Yu almost asked the other party where he was going.

But he quickly reacted, kept silent, and just promised to do it.
