There is Zhouyun Commercial Bank, the second largest commercial bank in the mainland, which is responsible for providing various commodities and raw materials to the Xia family. Xiajia not only saves a lot of cost, but also clears up the communication channels with operators in various places in the first place.
It is Bai Hua and Bai Rui who are responsible for contacting those operators in the Xia family. In just one month, Bai Hua's talent convinced the Xia family from top to bottom. Although Bai Hua was not a Xia family child, no one had any objections.
"Xia Yan, it might not be easy to establish a relationship in Purple Leaf City, right?!" Xia Feilong said hesitantly.
"Yeah, Ziye City is complicated, and the influence of our Xia family..."
An elder interjected.
It is very difficult for a new force to gain a foothold in one place, let alone a main city like Purple Leaf City. From the temple to the various families in Ziye City, they will not easily agree to the entry of this new force.
It can be said that there are many hardships.
"You don't have to worry about this, someone will contact the family at that time." Xia Yan smiled and said to everyone.
"The rest, I don't want to say any more. Xiaoqing will stay in the Xia family, patriarch. If the family center moves to Ziye City in the future, Xiaoqing will also be brought there." Xia Yan waved his hand, "Patriarch, Ziye Is Xin buried in Xia's Cemetery? I'm going to pay homage to my mother in a while, and I also want to see Zixin."
Xia Yan turned to look at Xia Feilong and said.
After the members of the Xia family die, they usually hide in the family cemetery, which is the exclusive cemetery of the Xia family. This cemetery is in a manor outside the city.
"Okay." Xia Feilong nodded.
"Zi Xin was not buried!" Xia Feilong said suddenly, "However, Zi Xin's body was also placed in the cemetery."
"What do you mean?!" Xia Yan was taken aback, "Why wasn't he buried?!"
When a person dies, of course he must be buried.
"This..." Xia Feilong frowned, "I can't tell, Xia Yan, let me go to the cemetery with you!"
"Okay!" Although he was still a little suspicious, Xia Yan didn't ask any more questions.
Together with Xia Feilong, they went out of the west city gate and came to a manor of the Xia family outside the city. This manor is different from manors in the general sense. The people here are not planting fields, but guarding and cleaning the cemetery.
As soon as he entered the manor, he could clearly feel a sense of decadence.
Step out of the manor, walk towards the center along the cleaned road. There are also many staff members in the manor, and their responsibility is to keep an eye on the Xia family's cemetery, and clear the fallen leaves and weeds here every day.
"Xia Yan. Zixin's body is parked there!" Xia Feilong pointed to a black house, "At that time, when I sent someone to Ziye City to pick Zixin back, Zixin had died more than One week. On the way, it was delayed for several days. However, when Zixin was transported back, I found that Zixin's body had been busy decomposing for such a long time, which is very abnormal."
"Xia Yan, go in and see for yourself!" Xia Feilong said in a low voice.
Xia Yan was also very surprised when he heard Xia Feilong's words, and walked towards the black room.
In this row, there are more than ten black houses, all of which are used to temporarily store corpses. Of course, generally speaking, the corpses are temporarily stored here and will be buried in the cemetery soon.
Xia Yan entered that room, and at a glance, there was a mahogany coffin dyed black inside, and the coffin was not covered.
"I have seen the young master!"
A servant guarding the room saw Xia Yan come in. Hastily stepped forward to salute, he was cleaning the whole room. This room has to be carefully cleaned every day, and at least ten times a day, especially at night. Because, the body of the patriarch's daughter was placed in this room.
"En!" Xia Yan glanced at the servant, waved his hand, and then walked to the coffin.
"this… "
Seeing the people inside, Xia Yan also opened his eyes wide in surprise. Xia Zixin was lying in the coffin vividly, as if she was asleep, and she didn't look like a dead person no matter what. Confident with an indescribable smile on the corner of his mouth, slightly upturned, his eyes are closed, and his eyelashes are often drawn.
"How is this possible?!" Xia Yan whispered.
"After Xia Zixin was taken back, I thought to myself that after so many days, I still don't know what the body will decompose. However, she is my daughter, and no matter what it turns into, I will see her for the last time. But when I saw that she didn't rot at all, and I was also very surprised!"
"Therefore, I order people not to bury Zixin for the time being. I feel in my heart that Zixin is not dead, she just fell asleep, and maybe one day, she will come back to life." Xia Feilong said in a heavy tone. Tears welled up in his eyes.
As a father, after learning the news of his daughter's death, his heart must be very painful. However, he is still the patriarch of the Xia family, even if it hurts, he can't bring the influence into his daily work.
"Xia Zixin's death is my fault!" Xia Yan said bluntly.
"Patriarch, you should know how Zixin died, right?!" Xia Yan asked with a slightly raised tone.
"I already know." Xia Feilong nodded, "However, you can't blame Xia Yan for this matter."
"I will avenge Zixin. What I'm waiting for now is that the time is right." Xia Yan looked at Zixin, and his voice sank.
"Zi Xin's body didn't rot, there must be some reason. Or, we can find a elixir that brings people back to life!" Xia Yan thought of the main world, the magic of the main world is not comparable to this world.
As for the reason why Zixin's body didn't rot, Xia Yan didn't think of it for a while.
Perhaps, in the main world, there is really a elixir that can bring people back to life.
"Hehe, I hope to find it." Xia Feilong said with a wry smile.
Although Xia Feilong really wanted his daughter to be resurrected, but that was too unrealistic, he said he hoped to find it. It's just a consolation. However, Xia Yan didn't think so.
In this world, there is no pill to bring the dead back to life, but in the main world, there may not be one!
"Patriarch, I'll go to see my mother's tomb. You should go back to the city first. After a while, I may go directly to Ziye City."
After the two stood for a while, Xia Yan said.
"good."
…
Purple Leaf City!
When Xia Yan arrived in Ziye City, he first went to the small courtyard he bought, and put all the medicinal materials into the Lingluo Ring. Some time ago, the elixir refined by Xia Yan consumed only a tenth of the medicinal materials here, so there are still a lot of medicinal materials left.
There is now storage space. It will be easier for Xia Yan to make alchemy in the future, even if he goes to the holy mountain, he can still make alchemy.
Putting the medicinal materials and cauldron into Lingluo Ring, Xia Yan left the small courtyard and walked towards the temple.
The guards of the temple already knew Xia Yan, and there was no obstacle at all. Xia Yan went directly into the temple and found the lord Pang Yuan in the inner hall.
When Pang Yuan saw Xia Yan, he naturally welcomed him warmly, and Xia Yan and Pang Yuan made some polite remarks.
"Xia Yan, something related to you happened recently in Purple Leaf City." After Pang Yuan and Xia Yan sat down, they said.
"Oh?!" Xia Yan asked, "What's the matter?!"
"There is a father and daughter of the Su family in Ziye City, do you know each other?!" Pang Yuan looked at Xia Yan.
"You mean Su Li and Su Qin's father and daughter?!" Xia Yan asked with a flash in his eyes.
"Exactly, Su Li is doing clothing business in Ziye City and several counties under its jurisdiction." Pang Yuan nodded and said.
"Yes, I know them, what's the matter?!" Xia Yan asked with a frown.
"Su Li, he's dead!" Pang Yuan kept looking at Xia Yan's face, observing Xia Yan's reaction.
"What?!" Xia Yan's face suddenly changed, and his eyes became extremely sharp.
This time when Xia Yan came to Purple Leaf City, he planned to find Su Li and let the Xia family cooperate with Su Li. But as soon as he arrived here, Hall Master Pang Yuan actually told himself that Su Li was dead.
"What happened?!" Xia Yan said in a deep voice, trying to control his emotions.
"A week ago, Su Li went to Siyuan City and was killed on the way." Seeing Xia Yan's reaction, Pang Yuan knew that Xia Yan had a deep affection for the Su family. At the beginning, Xia Yan killed Song Li's son because of the Su family, and he, the palace master, also knew about it.
At that time, Song Li had approached him, but Pang Yuan just dismissed Song Li and ignored him.
"Looking at the scene, it seems that robbers did it, killing people and stealing money." Pang Yuan looked at Xia Yan and continued.
"The guards around Su Li were all killed, and all their belongings were gone." Pang Yuan narrowed his eyes, "Su Li is a well-known person in Ziye City. He was killed outside the city. I went to see it myself. Judging from the fight at the scene, the opponent must have a strong spiritual master."
"Although there are bandits near Purple Leaf City, they are in the realm of spiritual masters..."
Having said this, Pang Yuan paused.
Pang Yuan went to see it in person, in fact, a large part of the reason was Xia Yan's relationship. He knew that Xia Yan had a good relationship with the Su family. If this matter is handled better, the relationship with Xia Yan will naturally become closer again.
"Hallmaster, are you saying that this incident may not have been done by ordinary robbers?!" Xia Yan's eyes sharpened, and a murderous aura spread all over his body.
Pang Yuan felt the aura emanating from Xia Yan's body, and his heart was shocked.
"I think it's unlikely that it was done by ordinary robbers, so I ordered someone to investigate secretly and found that this incident seems to have something to do with the Lu family. Moreover, some time ago, Su Li and the Lu family also had some conflicts in business. However, I haven't found conclusive evidence." Pang Yuan shook his head and said.
"I know!" Xia Yan said.
At this moment, the murderous aura exuding from Xia Yan just now had completely disappeared. Moreover, it seemed that Xia Yan was very calm at this time.
"Xia Yan, what are you going to do?!" Pang Yuan asked after pondering.
He was a little worried that it would be wrong if Xia Yan killed the Lu family in a fit of anger. He is the Palace Master of Ziye City. If a big family in Ziye City is killed, he is also responsible. After all, he is still bound by the Holy Land. Xia Yan's status is special, so he may be fine, but he is likely to be affected by it.
