Chapter 256 Fanning the flames
"Did Wang Liang come into contact with anyone?"
At this moment, Wang Chengkun had an inexplicable look on his face. He had never really thought of letting Wang Liang go. Wang Chong's death was definitely related to him.
The reason why Wang Liang was released temporarily was to expose the people or forces behind him.
"I came into contact with two people. They are a couple, and they also rode a strange beast. This time, Wang Liang left with them!"
Afterwards, the images of Liu Shan and the other man were also told to Wang Chengkun.
"Keep watching them."
-
Under the leadership of Wang Liang, Liu Shan and his companions rode on dragon horses and arrived at a city again.
"What is this city...? Are there any members of the Wang family here too?" Liu Shan asked curiously to Wang Liang in front of him.
"Master, this city is Beiyuan Huangcheng, and there are also Wang family forces in the city!"
"In Beiyuan, one-fifth of the inhabited cities are controlled by the Wang family! One-third of the cities have influence from the Wang family!" Wang Liang said in a flat tone.
"hiss"
Yan Ruyu was a little surprised and exclaimed. Is the Beiyuan Wang family so powerful?
"The Northern Plains is desolate. You have to know that in the entire Northern Plains, the Wang family, which has gathered so many resources, can only be barely considered a holy land. The other forces in the Northern Plains are insignificant. And how many holy lands are there in the Eastern Wilds!"
After hearing Liu Shan's explanation, Yan Ruyu also reacted. Even though the Wang family was so powerful in Beiyuan, it was just an ordinary holy land force in Donghuang.
Afterwards, the three of them randomly found a restaurant and walked in.
After all, the restaurant is the best place to get information. If you want to find trouble here, you still have to find out the situation first.
"Please come in, sir. Do you want to go to the hall or the private room on the second floor?" The waiter of the restaurant came up immediately.
However, after seeing the faces of the three people, he immediately lowered his head and dared not look anymore. It was because Yan Ruyu, among the three, was too beautiful, and the waiter felt that even looking directly at her would be a blasphemy to the goddess.
"On the second floor."
Liu Shan decided to choose the second floor, mainly because Yan Ruyu next to him, even though her appearance had changed, her unique temperament still attracted a lot of attention, so it was not suitable for her to inquire about the news in a low-key manner in the hall.
When they arrived at the private room on the second floor, the three of them had just sat down and had not yet started to order.
"Boom"
A sound reached the ears of the three people.
Even on the second floor, the sound sounded extremely harsh. Liu Shan and the others couldn't help but frown.
The waiter shuddered when he heard the noise, and it was obvious that he knew something.
At this time, several monks were walking into the first floor of the restaurant, and they looked very arrogant.
He staggered straight towards the owner of the restaurant.
"Boss, it's time to pay the monthly salary." The leading monk slammed the counter and said to the boss bluntly.
"Fifth Master, didn't you just pay the monthly salary?" the shopkeeper said with a sad face.
"Really?" The monk named Wu Ye looked a little displeased.
"Then consider it as a share of the money. Master Xing happened to have remarried, so you should pay an additional share." The monk called Master Wu made up another reason.
"I've already paid my share of the money." The shopkeeper asked pleadingly.
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, the fifth master's face darkened and he stared at the shopkeeper unkindly. If the shopkeeper said anything more, he would be ready to take action.
Looking at the monks behind Master Wu, who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, the shopkeeper had a sad face and paid another sum of money tremblingly.
"Tsk, what a waste of words."
The Fifth Master sneered disdainfully and then walked out of the restaurant.
Looking at the waiter on the second floor, who had a pale face, Liu Shan was a little curious.
"Who was that Fifth Master just now, and who is Xing Master?"
The waiter nodded and swallowed, "Aren't you three locals?"
"The Fifth Master just now is Master Xing's subordinate, who is responsible for collecting monthly wages for him. Master Xing is the most powerful force in Huangcheng." The waiter said nervously.
"That Fifth Master is a cultivator, right? It's a bit too much for a cultivator to collect protection money from mortals, right?" Yan Ruyu couldn't help but interrupt. This Fifth Master was really bringing shame to a cultivator.
Hearing Yan Ruyu's pleasant voice, the waiter wanted to raise his head, but lowered it again in an instant.
"That Master Xing is from the Wang family. It is said that the Wang family has influence throughout the entire Beiyuan, and his subordinates are all cultivators."
"Interesting, Mr. Wang. Could you please order food for us first?" Liu Shan didn't plan to ask any more questions.
After ordering a few random delicacies, the waiter respectfully left.
"Go and find out whether Mr. Xing is from your Beiyuan Wang family! Then collect information about his reputation in Huangcheng." Liu Shan instructed Wang Liang who was standing aside.
After Wang Liang left, Yan Ruyu approached Liu Shan again and hugged him gently.
"Husband, do you have any good ideas?" Looking at the smiling Liu Shan, Yan Ruyu was also a little curious. "Hasn't the Wang family been spreading their good reputation? I'll help them!" Liu Shan said with a wicked smile.
Afterwards, Liu Shan and Yan Ruyu ate their meal peacefully, while Wang Liang began to use magic to keep trying to find out the news about Master Xing.
After eating and drinking, Liu Shan leaned dejectedly against Yan Ruyu, waiting for Wang Liang to come back.
Without letting Liu Shan wait any longer, Wang Liang hurried back quickly.
"Master, the person behind that cultivator is Wang Xing, and Wang Xing is from the Beiyuan Wang family!"
"Wang Xing's reputation in Huangcheng is not good. It can be said to be extremely bad! He is basically a character that everyone hates!"
"He shamelessly exploits monks and squeezes ordinary people. As long as there is a profitable business, he will intervene. Ordinary people dare not offend him. Those who are powerful can only hold their noses and endure it for the sake of the Wang family."
"And this man is extremely lustful. Basically, he marries a new wife every once in a while, and gives her away when he gets tired of her. The whereabouts of all his previous wives are unknown!"
Wang Liang told Liu Shan all the information he had obtained.
"Tomorrow you go and contact those ordinary people in Huangcheng who have been bullied by Wang Xing. Give them some money and ask them to tell all the bad things Wang Xing has done and spread them throughout Huangcheng!" Liu Shan arranged.
"They may not be willing. Wang Xing is very famous in Huangcheng, and ordinary people are afraid of offending him." Wang Liang said hesitantly.
At most, his illusion can only make ordinary people speak out their true feelings. If he makes them do something scary, the illusion will probably be useless.
"What are they afraid of, a dead man?"
The moonlight enveloped the entire Huangcheng. Liu Shan, with Yan Ruyu, flew directly towards the Wang family mansion that Wang Liang had inquired about.
After hearing what Wang Xing had done, Yan Ruyu became very angry and decided to take action herself to get rid of him.
Inside the Wang family mansion, Wang Xing was having fun with his newly married wife when he suddenly felt a chill.
"not good!"
Afterwards, Wang Xing lost consciousness.
"what"
A scream rang out, and Wang Xing, who was having fun just now, no longer had a head.
On the second day, the news of Wang Xing's death was spread throughout Huangcheng by people with ulterior motives.
Wang Liang contacted all the victims and used magic to seduce them. All the evil things Wang Xing had done spread throughout Huangcheng in an instant.
-
In the Wang family’s ancestral land.
"Master, Wang Liang and his men killed Wang Xing and spread the news of what he did throughout the city."
"Wang Xing? Members of the Wang family?" Wang Chengkun asked doubtfully. There were too many members of the Wang family and he couldn't know them all.
"Yes."
"Is there anything special about Wang Xing? Is it worth their effort?" Wang Chengkun was very confused and couldn't guess what Wang Liang and the others were thinking.
"There is nothing special about it. It is just a branch of the Wang family. It has the blood of the Wang family and is domineering in the local area."
"Oh, doing good deeds when you see injustice?" Wang Chengkun found it hard to believe and felt very disdainful.
"Don't worry, let them kill! We in the Wang family just have more people, just think of them as clearing away the garbage for us."
-
After dealing with Wang Xing's affairs, Liu Shan and his companions left Huangcheng and headed towards a nearby city again.
It might be because the Wang family has dominated Beiyuan for too long. Every time you go to a city, you can see people from the Wang family doing evil.
This was exactly what Liu Shan wanted.
Just like how they dealt with Wang Xing, there was no hesitation at all. As long as they confirmed that he was a bad guy, they would kill him directly!
Then spread all the evil things this person has done, through mortal means, throughout the city.
News about Liu Shan and his companions' so-called chivalrous deeds kept reaching Wang Chengkun's ears.
Wang Chengkun didn't care at first and just thought it was ridiculous.
After all, the Wang family has ruled Beiyuan for countless years and owns countless cities. It is impossible for mortals to shake the foundation of the Wang family.
But Liu Shan and his companions acted too quickly. In just one week, they killed more than a dozen members of the Wang family!
This is still a small matter!
However, the bad reputation of the Wang family has begun to spread among the cultivators through mortals, and many forces are laughing at the Wang family.
Even within the small circle of Beiyuan, the news about the Wang family was spreading!
Wang Chengkun understood that there must be other Beiyuan forces involved, and they did this just to disgust the Wang family.
“Stop them! Capture them directly and bring them to me! If you can’t catch them, just kill them!” Wang Chengkun was very angry. He wanted to take strong action to let the forces in Beiyuan know who is the real master of Beiyuan.
As for what Liu Shan and the others did, Wang Chengkun also guessed that they wanted to destroy the reputation of the Wang family!
The Wang family doesn't care about these methods that cannot be made public and are just some reputations circulated among the common people. If other forces had not intervened, Wang Chengkun would not have cared at all.
But now other forces have begun to intervene, and the news has begun to spread among the cultivators. Once it spreads throughout Beiyuan, or even Beidou, it will be a fatal stain for the future emperor Wang Teng.
Wang Chengkun’s rage directly led to the Wang family sending out a powerful elder!
The Wang family must use strong means to get rid of the troublesome Liu Shan and make all forces shut up.
-
"Finally found!"
The whereabouts of Liu Shan and others have always been under the control of the Wang family, and Liu Shan did not deliberately hide, so the elders of the Wang family quickly caught up with Liu Shan and others.
