1227: Chapter 1228: Throw This Blame onto the Bai Family!

“Who goes there!”

Six people stared in terror at the group that burst into the office; the moment they saw the emblem on their clothing, a chill ran down their spines.

“I’ve long wanted to deal with you lot, but could never find the evidence.

Now, someone has delivered the evidence right to my desk.

If I don’t take action now, I’m truly wasting the government’s provisions.

Take them away!”

The leader commanded coldly.

He had long known these six people were problematic, but catching someone requires evidence, and the opponents were very clever in their dealings, making obtaining evidence incredibly difficult.

Today, out of nowhere, some deity had placed the evidence of their crimes right on his desk.

They were well and truly caught.

“Let me go, we are from the Zhou Family’s Six Meridians; dare you touch us, would you not make an enemy of the Zhou Family?”

“That’s right, if you don’t want to lose your jobs, let us go!”

The six struggled and shouted all at once.

They had never imagined they would end up in such dire straits one day.

Their previous actions had always been flawless, yet, someone had still unearthed evidence against them.

Fate had taken a turn; from living in luxury, they were now facing prison food.

They didn’t even have time to warn the Zhou Family’s Six Meridians.

All documents from the office were confiscated, and those would serve as additional evidence.

They hadn’t managed to sort through many of the materials—now they had completely crashed and burned.

By the time dawn arrived, most of Jincheng’s Jianghu sects had been swept clean, and those who colluded with the Zhou Family in shameful deeds were also taken away overnight.

It was like a typhoon had utterly purged Jincheng.

Nobody could have predicted such an event in Jincheng; it was even more shocking than the extermination of the Hao League.

The Hao League was an entity—when one falls, it pulls others along; naturally, they all collapsed.

But this time, it was those deeply hidden figures who were swept away.

Most of them you couldn’t tell just by looking.

Still, they were dealt with.

Several high-ranking officials at Jincheng Port were directly taken away by Yama Hall, bypassing local authorities.

Nobody knew what had happened, nor what had been discovered; those with guilt were anxious and uneasy.

As the saying goes, “Do not commit deeds that haunt you, and fear not the knock of ghosts.”

But some people have done too many guilty deeds, and when such incidents occur, they panic.

At this moment, the Zhou Family’s Six Meridians gathered at the Capital Prefecture, all anxious.

Such an event had never happened in the history of Dragon Country.

Their people had been captured, yet they didn’t even know who was behind it.

“Was it the Xinmeng Group?

What?

You don’t know!

You wastes, what are we feeding you for, can’t you at least find out where those six were taken?”

“Who is making an enemy of our Zhou Family?

It can’t be the Xinmeng Group, nor can it be the Xiao Family from Jiangnan; they don’t have such power.

Investigate, we must find out who’s kicking us while we are down at this time!”

“Jincheng has practically experienced an earthquake, both the official and Jianghu realms have been plundered, who could pull off such a feat?

Other than a few top black-gold aristocratic clans, it must be the ten major clans, right?”

For a time, the Zhou Family’s Six Meridians were fraught with panic and unease.

If they could find out who it was, it would be solvable, but the key issue is that they didn’t even know who was behind it, the only thing known was that the six were taken away by Yama Hall.

But who exactly issued the order, no one knew.

The unknown is the scariest part!

Because of the unknown, you can’t think of strategies; you can’t judge whether this enemy is formidable or not.

Zhou Family’s Six Meridians’ Family Heads gathered together and discussed for a long time, utilizing almost all their connections and intelligence networks.

Even spending a large amount of money.

But it was useless, they simply couldn’t find anything.

It was as if someone had protected all the information, deliberately keeping them in the dark.

The person capable of doing this must be more terrifying than them.

Even if they wanted to fight desperately now, they didn’t even have a target to aim for.

At this moment, at the Xiao Residence in Jincheng.

Tiangang and Dishasha, who had just completed their mission, plunged back into training.

“Can you guys relax a bit, it’s really no fun at all.”

Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly.

These guys were training fanatics.

Having just completed a mission and immediately returning to cultivate, it made him speechless, as if he was the only one slacking off.

“Tonight’s battle, we still had more than a dozen brothers injured, if it weren’t for Ma Hanzu, some of us would have been killed.

This is our deficiency, so, we need to become stronger!”

Zhang Qi said.

“Ah!”

Xiao Chen sighed, feeling extremely moved.

Choosing these people initially was definitely not a mistake, each one of them was commendable.

“Forget it, I won’t force you guys, but be sure to balance work and rest, otherwise, I won’t assign any tasks to you.”

Just then, Xiao Chen’s phone rang.

Checking it, he walked into the room and answered the call: “Leng Yue, is everything handled?”

“It’s all taken care of.

Those people have been locked up in Yama Hall, and it’s a secret cell that only King Yama can open, guaranteed that no one will find them.”

Leng Yue replied with a laugh: “Boss, what should we do next, should we throw this hot potato to the Huang Family?”

Xiao Chen smiled and said: “No, the Huang Family is not someone Zhou Family can afford to provoke.

Although we need someone to take the blame, it need not be them, let’s have Bai Family carry this burden.

Bai Family has been very active lately, due to the matter with Bai Qiaoqiao, they have troubled my sister, Zhou Yinque, multiple times.

They even want to collaborate with Zhou Family to stir up trouble.

Hehe, you say, can I let them join hands?”

“Understood!”

A knowing laugh came from the other side.

Nowadays, the north is actually relatively united, the ten Aristocratic Clans have been exceptionally united since the Shangguan Family’s downfall.

This is not what Xiao Chen wants to see, he wants chaos!

He wants the ten Aristocratic Clans to be suspicious of each other.

Bai Family has been low-key these years, but their development has not slowed, and they actually gained the most after Shangguan Family’s downfall.

Now their strength is subtly catching up to the Huang Family.

Not to mention Zhou Family’s wariness, Huang Family feels the same.

Choosing Bai Family to take the blame is naturally the most appropriate.

He believes, once this news is out, the ten Aristocratic Clans will surely become vigilant.

Other families will be even more panic-stricken.

Zhou Family will panic due to this, thus opposing Bai Family, and cooperation will naturally be out of the question.

They are not foolish enough to confirm this with Bai Family, because no one would admit to such a thing.

Bai Family also won’t clarify, because this kind of issue, the more you try to clear it, the more it seems like you are hiding something.

Even if wise people know this might be someone framing Bai Family, even if there’s a one percent chance it’s true, they would still become wary of Bai Family.
