Chapter 107: Remnant of the Demon Sect
The Zheng family's birthday banquet ended.
The mansion was still immersed in joy, but the atmosphere in the main hall was exceptionally grave. Zheng Youqing, who was standing there, was like a child who had done something wrong, lowering his head and not daring to breathe.
"Bastard!"
Zheng Ci, who had just finished his 70th birthday, scolded after hearing Zheng Youqing's account.
Zheng Bao glared fiercely at Zheng Youqing, then leaned to the old man's side and whispered: "Father, the matter has already become like this. It's useless to blame him now. What should we do?"
He knew that Zheng Youqing had poisoned the Gao family.
He had thought they had eaten the Gao family, but never expected it would become the current situation, and they had been held by the handle.
If the Gao family really took the Image-Recording Talisman to sue Zheng Youqing, I'm afraid the entire Zheng family would be implicated.
Zheng Ci sighed, looked at Supplying Ruan who was waiting on the side, and said: "Can you determine what realm the person the Gao family hired is?"
Supplying Ruan shook his head: "I couldn't even sense where the expert in the dark was, and naturally I don't know what realm he is. However, I can be sure he is very strong, at least a Sixth Rank, Third Stage expert."
Zheng Youqing nodded vigorously:
"Grandfather, with the Gao family's ability, I estimate the person they hired is at most a Sixth Rank, Third Stage. I don't believe their family can hire someone stronger. Didn't you recently break through to a Fifth Rank martial artist?"
Zheng Bao echoed: "Father, we can't let the Gao family go around suing. Our Zheng family can't withstand an investigation from above."
Zheng Ci snorted coldly, was gloomy for a while, and then said: "You immediately take people and surround the Gao mansion, saying that you discovered the traces of the Demon Sect in the Gao family, and occupy the moral high ground first."
"Yes!"
Zheng Bao responded and walked away quickly.
Gao mansion.
Master Gao saw Gao Youyao and Wu Feng return safely and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's truly nonsense. Such a big thing, why didn't you notify me first?"
Gao Youyao smiled and didn't care: "Father, how is your body? I see your complexion is very good."
Wu Feng smiled: "Congratulations to Brother Gao for successfully entering the Eighth Rank Scholarly Adept Realm. I estimate it's the credit of that Haoran Zhengqi Pill. Before, Yao'er was afraid you hadn't recovered well, so she didn't tell you."
Gao Youyao's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Father, have you really entered the Eighth Rank Scholarly Adept Realm?"
Master Gao laughed happily: "That's right, I have to thank that scholar named Fang Lu. By the way, why didn't he come back with you?"
"He said he had something to do and would be back later." Gao Youyao said casually, smiling: "Father, I used the Image-Recording Talisman to record that Zheng Youqing personally admitted that he poisoned you. I must sue Zheng Youqing down."
Master Gao frowned: "Unless it's a last resort, don't do it so absolutely. This will cause retaliation from the Zheng family."
Gao Youyao said firmly: "Father, we can't be so afraid of things anymore. Zheng Youqing has already poisoned you; who knows what he will do in the future?"
"You don't know, if it weren't for Master tonight, I don't know what Zheng Youqing would have done."
"I also support suing Zheng Youqing down." Lv Fang walked over with a smile and said: "We have reason, why should we be afraid of them? Not to mention we have evidence. I don't believe that he, the son of a county official, can do whatever he wants."
Master Gao frowned: "You are all still too young. Some things are not black and white. I heard that the Zheng family has climbed up to the Xiao family in Jingcheng these past two years. How can you sue Zheng Youqing down?"
"Taking a step back, even if you sue him down."
"Facing the Zheng family's retaliation, how should our Gao family respond?"
"I've also figured it out these past two days. If we can't afford to offend them, can't we hide? You all go and pack your luggage. We will leave Beicheng tonight."
Gao Youyao said with some dissatisfaction: "Zheng Youqing poisoned Father, and we're just going to let it go?"
Master Gao shook his head: "We'll talk about this matter later. Listen to me, go and pack your luggage. Young Master Fang, you should also go with us. In the future, the Gao family will rely on you and my daughter."
Lv Fang nodded and didn't continue to persuade.
This was also good.
The Gao family moved away from here, and he could slowly bring the Zheng family to justice.
Just when Master Gao and others had packed their luggage and gathered in the main hall, Yu Guanshi Sun ran in hurriedly and said: "Master, it's not good. Zheng Bao has surrounded the mansion with government soldiers."
Gao Youyao said angrily: "Why surround our Gao family?"
Yu Guanshi Sun said with a bitter face: "It seems to be said that there are people from the Demon Sect lurking in our Gao family."
"It's over, it's over!"
Master Gao stomped his feet: "They, the Zheng family, have found an excuse to try to exterminate our Gao family. What bullshit Demon Sect is just an excuse."
Wu Feng said with an angry face: "This Zheng family is truly bullying people too much!"
Just then, a doorman ran over, panting: "Master, it's not good. Magistrate Zheng has brought a team of government soldiers and rushed in."
Almost as soon as the words fell.
Zheng Bao rushed into the main hall with government soldiers and controlled the Gao family servants everywhere. A black-robed man behind Zheng Bao lifted his hood, revealing an old face; it was Zheng Ci.
Besides these two, Zheng Youqing was also there. He saw Master Gao, who had successfully entered the Eighth Rank Realm, and frowned: "How come you weren't poisoned."
Master Gao didn't pay attention to him, but cupped his hands toward Zheng Ci: "Master Zheng, what are you doing?"
Zheng Ci sat on the chair by himself and said coldly: "Master Gao, don't you know what we are doing? Hurry up and hand over the remnants of the Demon Sect."
Gao Youyao said angrily: "What remnants of the Demon Sect? You are making false accusations. It is clearly your Zheng family that wants to invade our Gao family's business. I have evidence."
Zheng Ci sneered: "Where is the evidence? Take it out and let me see."
Gao Youyao snorted: "The evidence naturally cannot be given to you."
Master Gao gave a bitter smile: "Master Zheng, why don't we just let it go? Our Gao family will leave Beicheng, and I will destroy the evidence. How about that?"
"No!"
Zheng Youqing said excitedly: "Your Gao family colluded with the Demon Sect and still wants to negotiate conditions with us. None of you in the Gao family will be able to leave alive today."
Wu Feng walked out: "Are you really going to do this so absolutely? I have a few friends in Jingcheng. The evidence is in my hands. Even if your Zheng family's old man is a high-rank martial artist, if I want to escape, I think you won't be able to stop me."
Zheng Ci glanced at Wu Feng and didn't take him seriously at all:
"You think too highly of yourself. Stop talking nonsense. Master Gao, call out the expert you hired."
"Expert?"
Master Gao looked at Gao Youyao and Wu Feng.
Gao Youyao's eyes lit up and said: "Master, could it be that you didn't come alone, and there is a senior who came with you?"
Wu Feng shook his head and said truthfully: "If I had known this, I would have brought people with me. Unfortunately, I was the only one who came." ===== CHAPTER 108 =====
