Four days later, three days before New Year's Eve.

In Zhongjing City, Central Shopping Street.

The Central Shopping Street is the most prosperous area in Zhongjing City. Here, you can buy everything that can be bought in the Heaven Realm. From civilians’ antiques and literary ink to the Heavenly Master’s heavenly arts, elixirs, and weapons.

As long as you have money you can get anything.

Among the best shops in the central shopping street, there is a huge pavilion with a height of five floors and a width of 20 feet. The pillars outside the pavilion are all made of fine sandalwood. You can smell it even from a long distance.

This refreshing aroma.

The attractive aroma naturally attracted countless people to go there, and there was a huge plaque hanging on the fifth floor of the shop, with five large gilded characters written on it - "Tianshan Silk Shop".

Tianshan Silk Shop is an industry of the Han family in Zhongjing City. It is no exaggeration to say that three-quarters of the silk in Zhongjing City comes from here, and the proportion of high-end silk reaches 90%! It is not just Zhongjing City.

City, even the other four major cities in the Tianjing region often have people coming here to buy silk.

There is always an endless stream of people in front of Tianshan Silk Shop. The first to fourth floors are where silks are sold, and they are arranged from top to bottom according to high quality and low quality. But there is another important reason why Tianshan Silk Shop is so popular.

, that is, no matter whether the silk is good or bad, the quality is definitely much better than other silk shops.

Now is the real end of the year, and New Year's Eve is only three days away. Even the common people have to buy some new clothes to celebrate the New Year. Although they can't afford good ones, they can still afford the silk on the first floor. At this moment,

There are more people than ever before.

The servants on the first floor are constantly accepting customers in the lobby, and the shopkeepers on the first floor are also busy around. Compared with the three floors above, the first floor seems very noisy. Occasionally, guests who go to the second, third, and fourth floors will

Showing contempt for the situation on the first floor.

Of course, this is normal. The guests on the second floor look down on the guests on the first floor, just like the guests on the third floor look down on the guests on the second floor. When they walk past the second floor, they want to raise their heads to the sky.

However, just when the first floor was extremely busy and all the workers were extremely busy, suddenly a group of men in black rushed into the lobby without any warning!

Everyone was stunned and stared blankly at these men in black, but these men in black didn't say anything, just drew their swords and killed them!

You know, the second floor is the lowest level of civilians. No one is a Celestial Master, and no one can afford to hire a Celestial Master. And these people are obviously not ordinary people, and the people on the first floor have no power to fight back in their hands.

, there were screams all of a sudden, and there was chaos!

"Who are you? You can be here

This is Tianshan Silk Shop, are you crazy?!" The shopkeeper on the first floor saw this and his eyes were splitting, and he roared at the group of men in black!

However, his roar did not stop these people at all, but instead made them notice his presence. One of them came to him without hesitation and swung his knife!

boom!

The shopkeeper's body and head were separated, and his head and body suddenly fell to the ground!

Seeing this scene, even the servants in the lobby panicked. They no longer had the intention to resist and ran away screaming! However, these men in black seemed determined to kill people, and even the people who escaped were not spared. Some even

Block the door and leave no one behind who wants to escape!

Within half a stick of incense, all the more than two hundred people on the first floor were dead, and everyone fell into a pool of blood without exception.

These people were dead. Each of them had a deep bloody wound on their body, and their bodies were even cut in half. The blood gathered on the ground and soaked the huge first-floor lobby.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves on the street outside the door. There were definitely a lot of people listening to the sound. The man in black who was guarding the door frowned and looked outside.

Sure enough, at the end of one side of the Central Commercial Street, a group of people were galloping towards them! Judging from their clothes, they were undoubtedly people from the City Lord's Mansion. Upon seeing this, the man in black immediately turned his head and said loudly to the others, "People.

Coming, retreat!"

When the other men in black heard this, their bodies trembled, and they immediately gathered together in a very disciplined manner, and followed them out of the Tianshan Silk Shop.

The first thing you see is an empty street. It's obvious that people outside saw what just happened inside and ran away. Of course, even if they couldn't see it, the terrifying screams would scare people away. Looking at the empty street

, one of the men in black shouted loudly, "Whoever dares to come to Tianshan Silk Shop again will be killed without mercy!"

The sound was very loud, obviously blessed by the power of Tianyuan, and spread far in the street, reaching many people's ears. After saying this, these men in black no longer stayed, and walked directly to the alley aside.

in, and ran away quickly.

By the time the officers and soldiers arrived in front of the Tianshan Silk Shop, the men in black had long disappeared. They ran away for unknown distance. The leader was seen saying to a guard behind him, "The man has run away. It's too late to chase him now. Please inform him first."

Lord City Lord!"

"Yes!" The man nodded immediately and drove his horse towards the city lord's mansion.

Run away.

When these officers and soldiers entered the Tianshan Silk Shop and asked about the strong and pungent smell of blood, many of them couldn't help but ran to the side and vomited!

For no other reason than this floor is simply hell on earth!

Due to the busy business on the first floor, there is no free space on the first floor. Every inch of the ground is covered with corpses, and many people's bodies are even overlapped with each other. It's terrible!

What's even more unacceptable is that severed heads and hands can be seen everywhere, and the various organs exposed in the body are even more disgusting. Even these officers and soldiers who have experienced murder scenes for a long time can't stand it. .??.

The commander frowned when he saw this tragic scene. He turned to look at an officer and soldier beside him and said in a deep voice, "Go and notify the Han family and ask them to send someone over."

"Yes!" The officer and soldier responded quickly after hearing this, and fled from here as if running away.

After a while, when the officers and soldiers reached the higher floors, the nobles who were hiding dared to show their faces and walked downstairs one after another. They were all glad that the group of killers did not have time to go up, but for the first floor

These dead people don't feel anything at all.

Soon, the news of the incident at the Tianshan Silk Shop spread throughout Zhongjing City. People who had planned to go there to buy silk to make clothes also gave up. Compared with clothes, life is more important.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is obviously someone deliberately targeting the Han family and destroying the Han family's silk business.

The Han family also acted quickly. After receiving the news, they immediately sent people to the Tianshan Silk Shop to deal with it. Not only to deal with themselves, but also to compensate the people who died in the Tianshan Silk Shop, and this was undoubtedly a heavy sum of money.

However, although the people who went to the Tianshan Silk Shop had a high status in the Han family, they did not hold real power. At this moment, all the Han family members who truly held real power were gathered in the Han family meeting hall.

They have more important things to do than dealing with things on site.

There were people sitting around the long table, and everyone had a heavy look on their face. The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table had an even more gloomy face, with murderous intent between his eyebrows and his eyes!

This person is none other than Han Zhengshen, the current head of the Han family and Han Ya’s father!

At this moment, his heart was extremely heavy. In the twenty years since his father handed the family into his hands, such a bad incident had never happened! This kind of thing today was unprecedented, and it also made him smell the atmosphere of conspiracy.

!

"This meeting mainly discusses

There are two things to do!" Han Zhengshen's voice was low, as if he was roaring with suppressed anger, and he said forcefully, "First, how to make up for our lost reputation so that customers dare to come to us for consumption as before!"

"Second, analyze the possibility of being behind the scenes, find the person with the greatest suspicion, and solve the threat as quickly as possible!"

As he said that, Han Zhengshen looked around, looked at these solemn-faced people, and said loudly, "Silk is the foundation of my Han family. This incident has broken our bottom line. I hope everyone can cheer up and do their best for Han.

Family work! Now, who has any opinion?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at each other, but no one dared to speak. Just because it was a critical moment, these people did not dare to speak, for fear that they would be stigmatized for raising bad opinions!

Han Zhengshen frowned when he saw this, and just when he was about to yell loudly, the person on his right suddenly spoke.

This person is none other than Han Zhengshen's cousin, Han Kang.

"The compensation is certain. This can stop many people's mouths." Han Kang frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "Sending some heavenly masters to the Silk Shop, and there must be second-level heavenly masters here, will make customers

Let it go more or less. Of course, these can only alleviate the current situation, but cannot cure the root cause."

After hearing this, Han Zhengshen finally softened his expression, looked at Han Kang, and asked, "How can we cure the root cause?"

Han Kang looked at Han Zhengshen, frowned, sighed and shook his head and said, "With all due respect, the only way to cure the root cause is to find and kill all the enemies. No other method can restore the reputation."

"..."

Han Zhengshen frowned because he knew that Han Kang was right. It seemed that there were many options to choose from, but in fact there was only this one way to cure the root cause.

However, since the opponent dares to take action, he is obviously prepared. How easy is it to find the enemy and kill them all?

The hall fell into dead silence again, everyone's expressions were ugly. They tried their best to think of a way, but every one of them was rejected by themselves.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the assembly hall without any warning, startling all the meditating people!

"There is another way!"

The sudden sound shocked everyone. They all looked towards the entrance of the assembly hall and found a familiar figure standing there!

Han Zhengshen's eyes lit up, he stood up and said excitedly, "Xiaoya, you are finally back!"
Chapter completed!
