Since Shanghai Tianhua had no intention of pressuring the Law Enforcement Hall, if Southern Sky Gate wanted to find Lin Er, they had to turn their attention to Hong Zhong again. If they could persuade Shanghai Tianhua to put pressure on Hong Zhong, not only could they get the information about Lin Er's identity, but they could also help them vent their anger, killing two birds with one stone!
Today's situation at the Hong Merchant Guild was completely out of his expectations. The old man Hong Zhong did not even place the personal letter of Hong Ying's Four Directions Supervising Inspector in his eyes. However, in the eyes of the Southern Heavenly Gate, no matter how stubborn Hong Zhong was, as long as Shangguan Tianhua was willing to speak up, Hong Zhong would have no choice but to kneel and lick his boots obediently.
Even a strong dragon couldn't suppress a snake in its old haunts, not to mention in front of Shanghai Tianhua, the top boss of the north island. Even if Hong Zhong was a shopkeeper of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, he was far from the title of a strong dragon. He couldn't even be considered a snake, he was at most a worm.
"You said that Hong Zhong was adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes? Do you have any solid evidence? "Shanghai Tianhua asked with a slight frown.
Speaking of which, between him and Hong Zhong, one was the top tycoon in the north island, and the other was the spokesperson of the Hong's Chamber of Commerce in the north island. Not only did they have a lot of official cooperation, but they also had a good personal relationship.
However, in Shanghai Tianhua's understanding, Hong Zhong had always been kind and kind to people, and he had a good reputation. How could he be adding fuel to the fire in this kind of thing?
"Pavilion Master, before my third brother had the accident, he was thrown down from the second floor of the Hong Chamber of Commerce by Hong Zhong because of Lin Er. On the day when my third brother fought with Lin Er, he deliberately let Lin Er hide in the Hong Chamber of Commerce for two hours. After coming out of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, he was only at the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but he was able to kill my third brother, who was at the peak of the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, with one move after coming out of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. If the Hong Chamber of Commerce didn't do something, who would believe it? There are many witnesses, I dare not make any false report, please investigate! "Southern Sky Gate knelt down again and kowtowed.
Lin Yi instantly killing Nan Tianyong had nothing to do with Hong Zhong. However, from the other people's point of view, it was only natural for Hong Zhong to be blamed for this. Otherwise, who would believe that a mere cultivator at the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm was able to kill a cultivator at the peak of the late stage with a single move?
Perhaps only the Hong Chamber of Commerce, which had gathered countless treasures, could achieve this. Perhaps they had some kind of consumable treasure that could instantly kill a peak late Foundation Establishment expert?
Furthermore, before that, Lin Yi had indeed intentionally stayed in the Hong Chamber of Commerce for two whole hours. Such a long period of time was more than enough for him to do anything. It was hard not to be suspicious!
Shangguan Tianhua took a deep look at Southern Heavenly Gate who was kneeling on the ground. His expression turned serious. The South-Heaven Gate would not dare to hide the truth from him. In that case, the death of Nan Tianyong was definitely related to the Hong Merchant Guild, especially Hong Zhong.
After pondering for a moment, Shanghai Tianhua finally said, "Alright, I will ask Hong Zhong about this matter."
Although he had a good personal relationship with Hong Zhong. However, Shanghai Tianhua had always been clear about public and private affairs. Since Hong Zhong was indeed suspected of adding fuel to the fire, as the Pavilion Master of Soaring Sky Pavilion, he had to intervene.
Hearing this, Southern Heavenly Gate was delighted. He was delighted. As long as Shangguan Tianhua was willing to step forward and ask about this matter, then his objective today would be achieved!
As long as Shanghai Tianhua intervened, Hong Zhong would not dare to hide anything from Lin Er's identity. Unless he didn't want to stay in the north island anymore.
Just as Southern Heavenly Gate was secretly delighted, Shanghai Laner suddenly said, "Grandpa, it's inappropriate for you to do this."
Inappropriate my ass! The Pavilion Master of Soaring Sky Pavilion intervened on behalf of his disciple. This was a matter of course. Inappropriate my ass!
Southern Heavenly Gate almost wanted to curse, but when he saw that it was Shanghai Laner who spoke, he had to hold back the curse. Not only could he not show any dissatisfaction, but he had to smile awkwardly.
"Oh? What's wrong with it? Little Lan 'er, tell me about it. "Shangguan Tianhua asked with great interest.
In front of his granddaughter, he was completely an ordinary kind elder. Moreover, although Shanghai Laner did not like to cultivate, she was smart since she was a child. She often had clear and unique views on many things, unlike people in high positions like him, who were sometimes blinded by some interests.
Shanghai Laner said seriously, "Grandpa, you once taught me that a gentleman can't complain and cultivate himself. Nan Tianyong couldn't defeat Lin Er and lost his life, but he insisted on blaming Grandpa Hong, who was obviously an outsider. He even asked Grandpa Hong to stand up for him. Isn't this ridiculous? If this precedent is set, then in the future, if any Soaring Sky Pavilion disciple loses outside, won't you have to stand up for him, Grandfather? "
"Ugh, Mistress, Hong Zhong can't be considered an outsider. He's the one who's adding fuel to the fire …" South-Heaven Gate immediately tried to defend himself.
"Adding fuel to the fire? Do you have any proof? " Shanghai Laner rolled her eyes at him and said, "From what you said just now, from the beginning to the end, you can't prove that Grandpa Hong is really involved, right? Or can you guarantee with your life that the killer move that Lin Er used to kill Nan Tianyong was given to him by Grandpa Hong for free? "
"This …" Southern Heavenly Gate was speechless.
How could he have proof for this? He was just using the logical thinking of ordinary people to pour dirty water on Hong Zhong. If he really wanted to guarantee with his life, he did not have the guts and courage to do so!
Moreover, even if he could prove that Lin Er's killer move was given by Hong Zhong, how could he prove that Hong Zhong gave it to him for free? In the end, it was all Hong Zhong's words, it was an unsolvable problem!
Left with no choice, the South-Heaven Gate turned to Shangguan Tianhua. There was no way he could refute Shangguan Lan 'er's words. Even if he could, he would not dare to do so, as what if Shangguan Lan' er bore a grudge against him?
If this Miss were to say a few bad things about him in front of her grandfather, then the future of Southern Heavenly Gate would be bleak. So what if he was the Eldest Senior Brother of the Soaring Sky Pavilion? Shanghai Tianhua could easily make him fall to the ground with a single thought!
Fortunately, the Southern Heavenly Gate was relieved that this was only Miss Shangguan's own words. As the Pavilion Master of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, Shanghai Tianhua would always consider his own interests first. He would not be as naive as this Miss.
However, Shanghai Tianhua's next words made the Southern Heavenly Gate's jaw drop.
