Daqizong

Yundang Mountain.

After Li Wan learned of the accident here, he rushed from Kongming Valley as soon as possible, and arrived within three days.

The accompanying people included Xiao Qingning, Lin Jingshu, Aunt Feng and others in addition to Miyan Miluo who was always on the left and right.

Uncle Zhong, Bingning, and the guards of Kongming Valley were arranged by him to guard in Kongming Valley.

For three days in a row, Li Wan didn't sleep and rested, and she was able to maintain a tidy appearance even in closed-door training, but she seemed to have become unkempt, and her whole person seemed to have become a lot more vicissitudes in a few days.

It wasn't until Xiao Qingning couldn't bear to come forward to persuade him that he rested for a while, cleaned up, and reappeared in front of everyone.

Lin Jingshu had never seen Li Wan like this before, and she couldn't help worrying: "Wan Lang, are you okay?"

There was deep anger in Li Wan's eyes, but when facing his beloved wife, he pretended to be calm and shook his head, "I'm fine."

Xiao Qingning took Lin Jingshu's hand and shook it gently, signaling her not to ask any more questions.

Lin Jingshu secretly sent a voice transmission: "Sister Ning, there is something wrong with Wan Lang."

Xiao Qingning said: "I know, so don't ask any more questions, let him be quiet for a while."

Lin Jingshu nodded as if realizing something, hugged Xiao Qingning's jade arms tightly, and followed behind Li Wan.

Under the guidance of the deacon here, Li Wan came to the workshop that was jointly built with Tiangongfang and designated under his name.

"This is it, Li Gongfeng, please." The deacon leading the way stepped aside.

Li Wan walked forward without a word, only to see a piece of black ruins suddenly appearing in front of her eyes.

This workshop is located in an open area among the mountains, like a high platform. It was supposed to be convenient for the entry and exit of goods and guard the terrain of the treasure house, but it has instead become a convenience for the gangsters to set fire to murder. It was bleak, almost turned into a piece of scorched earth, with smoky smoke and a pungent burnt smell, as if it still lingered at the tip of the nose. It is not difficult to imagine that the fire was fierce that night.

Li Wan looked at his feet, and there was a shocking pool of dried blood, like waste water that cost nothing, spilled all over the ground, and flowed down step by step along the ascending stone steps, mixed with soil and dead leaves, Dye dozens of steps in black.

Li Wan's face was ashen, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. He seemed to be able to see that at the place he was standing that night, there was a sea of ​​flames behind him, and vicious gangsters in front of him. The apprentices and guards fought bravely together, but in the end they were slaughtered miserably, with heavy casualties, and the treasure house that had been operated for many years was also looted.

Li Wankong stood on the steps for a long time, feeling even more indignant, and angrily cursed: "You are so arrogant, you really deserve to die!"

Xiao Qingning stepped forward to comfort him: "Husband, the deceased are already dead, let's deal with their affairs well."

Li Wan nodded with a gloomy expression, and asked the surviving deacon who was following him: "How about the loss?"

The deacon said: "There are 32 handymen in the workshop, 12 apprentices, six refiners, 30 guards, six deacons, and one steward. Eight handymen were burned to death, six were slashed and maimed, three apprentices were killed by burns, and four were injured, two of whom were seriously maimed. ..."

Deacon Kong Minggu, who was ordered to check the ruins and searched for clues, also came back at this time and reported: "The proprietor, I can confirm that the other party deliberately murdered and set the fire. Although the treasury was looted, some treasures were burned. Obviously, the fire started first, then killed people, and then took away the treasures. Judging from the traces left by the fire, the fire was not strong enough to stop everyone. Killing, this circumstance, is consistent with the confession of the survivors."

Li Wan asked, "Are there any clues to the identities of those people?"

Deacon Kong Minggu hesitated for a moment, and said: "No. But I can be sure that it was premeditated by evil cultivators. Their purpose is clear, and they came here to destroy this field."

The deacon didn't continue to speak, but everyone present could understand that the murderer's motive was most likely seeking revenge.

The matter here involves the grievances between Li Wan, the proprietor, and others.

Li Wan said in a deep voice: "Send a letter to Tiandaotang, inviting them to send rewards and punishments to the evil envoys to investigate. In addition, spread the word in Tiannan Realm, offering a reward of 300 million spiritual jade bonuses, soliciting relevant clues, if they can find out the truth. Bad luck, thank you very much."

Deacon Kong Minggu made a promise and took the order to leave.

Li Wan said again: "Didn't Fellow Daoist Xing still have a wife and children? Where are you now?"

The surviving deacon said: "They were all placed under the mountain."

Li Wan was silent for a long time, then sighed softly, "Take me to have a look."

Everyone moved down the mountain, and soon came to a spacious and simple mountain courtyard. At this time, inside and outside the courtyard, there were plain cloth and white banners everywhere. When Li Wan and others arrived, they greeted them quickly.

Li Wan asked: "Where is the mourning hall, I'll go burn incense for the old criminal."

Shi Haoguang said: "It's inside."

Li Wan nodded and led everyone in.

At this time, Li Wan finally saw the old widow wearing a heavy filial piety. She was a mortal young woman in her twenties, with two little children carved in pink and jade, kneeling there, weeping silently.Li came up to her after the evening fragrance, and someone leaned over and whispered something in her ear, and she looked up with a bit of unease, but seeing so many strangers, it was difficult for a while. For a while, I didn't know what to say, and stood there in a daze.

Shi Haoguang said via voice transmission: "This is the Lin family..."

Li Wan nodded and said, "My condolences." Then he left the mourning hall.

Shi Haoguang quickly followed.

While the rest of the entourage were offering incense, Li Wan and Shi Haoguang sat drinking tea under the pergola outside the court and talked about their experiences here.

When mentioning Xing Tongfang's death certificate, this old casual cultivator who had traveled around licking blood with knives in his early years couldn't help but see tears welling up in his eyes, "Those gangsters are really devoid of conscience. Just the few remains I have seen, all of them were tortured to the point of dishonesty. Fellow Daoist Xing was also severely broken, and his whole body was roasted bit by bit from his feet to his body. Poor Fellow Daoist Xing , 12 years ago, he failed to die in Tunyan Cave, but now, when he was supposed to be enjoying peace and happiness, he was met with such misfortune."

Listening to Shi Haoguang's cry, Li Wan sighed softly, "I killed Fellow Daoist Xing."

Seeing Li Wan blame himself, Shi Haoguang quickly said, "Li Daoyou, that's not what I meant."

Li Wan sipped the tea in his cup lightly, and said, "You don't need to comfort me, Fellow Daoist Shi. I am indeed responsible for this matter. Those people have no grievances or enmity with Fellow Daoist Xing, and they came for me, but now The thing has already happened, and it is useless to regret it. It is still a painful experience. It is more urgent to deal with it with [-] points. I have notified Tongshan to continue to strengthen prevention. Yuquan Sword Sect, Xuedaomen and other parties have also promised to take care of it. Let's think about how to clean up the mess here."

The role of the workshop here is mainly to be permanently stationed in Yundang Mountain, so that it is convenient to contact casual cultivators and chambers of commerce in Yundang Mountain, to store precious materials, process parts, and punish Tongfang to death. There are no such contacts, Li In the evening, he had no choice but to consider sending Shi Haoguang here to guard.

But before that, the uneasy atmosphere here must be eliminated, and the murderer must be found out, and the murderer should be retaliated. Otherwise, there may be more attacks in the future.

After discussing with Shi Haoguang, Li Wan and Shi Haoguang deeply felt that this matter should be the top priority. If it can't be done, then don't worry about it.

Li Wan took another sip of tea, and said: "Other than that, it is about pension matters. Everyone stationed in Tiangongfang and recruited by Xingdaoyou are treated equally. It is only determined by duty and cultivation. It is common in the workshop. How is it customary to deal with it?"

Xiao Qingning came over at this moment, and said to Li Wan: "If you die in the line of duty, according to their respective annual salaries, mortal handymen will be paid one year at a time, Qi refining monks will be paid two years at a time, foundation building monks will be paid four years at a time, and children and descendants will be paid one year at a time. And relatives, the priority is recruited and appointed, and there are special care and rewards on the New Year's Day. Those who have children who are not crowned can support them until they are 20 years old. If there are no family members or relatives with children, the pension can be exempted.

Husband, I have already done the calculations just now. The victims need a total of 110 spirit jade. The other six disabled servants and two severely disabled apprentices all need life-long support. Counting the remaining one Jiazi, the minimum food and energy cultivation needs for each person are ten spiritual jades per month for handymen, and one hundred spiritual jades per month for apprentices, totaling 360.

In addition, there is also an injured craftsman, who is an experienced senior. Let’s give 140 spiritual jade to heal and calm down as appropriate, and then the funerals and burials of each family will be buried, and the servants will be rewarded, and [-] million will be spent from the family. Send a special person to supervise the disbursement of funds. "

Li Wan and Shi Haoguang were stunned for a long time, and after a while of silent calculations, they finally sorted out their ideas.

Shi Haoguang couldn't help but nodded silently, his face full of admiration, while Li Wan rubbed his forehead with some headaches, and said: "The policy of preferential treatment is to employ people at all, and no one is willing to die, and this time is a special case. let me think..."

He thought for a while, and then said: "Let's increase it by [-]% as usual. Qingning, work harder and supervise it yourself."

Xiao Qingning had no objection, and said, "Okay."

Three days later, the news spread that Li Wan offered a reward for arresting the murderer, and spread across thousands of miles, both good and evil scattered cultivators were shocked.

The 300 million bonus was just to find clues, but everyone who heard the news was eager to move, even some disciples of the inner and outer courtyards of the sect, and disciples of Lingfeng, were jealous and asked everywhere about it.

It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and two days later, a disciple of Qingyao Palace who was traveling near Yundang Mountain suddenly came to the door, claiming to know the identity and whereabouts of those murderers. (To be continued.)
