Chapter 357: 74: Wang Family Expansion! Shou Zhe's Ambition is Huge_1



Huangfu Jinhuan saw this scene from afar, and couldn’t help but look a bit gloomy.

He snorted coldly in disdain, sat straight on his seat with his hands behind his back, half-closing his eyes, as if devising some strategy.

Suddenly.

Lei Yangyu’s hearty laugh came: “Brother Jinghuan, you look quite well~”

“Humph!” Huangfu Jinhuan opened his eyes, wearing a gloomy expression, “Lei Yangyu, what are you trying to say?”

“Sorry, just curious.” Lei Yangyu chuckled, “Given all the trouble that’s arisen in your side family, did you come today intending to acquire the assets of the former Ma Huangfu’s Family?”

Huangfu Jinhuan’s eyelids twitched a couple of times and he replied coldly, “Lei Yangyu, what has the Huangfu Family’s business got to do with you? You think I should just stand by and watch the side family’s assets fall into other people’s hands?”

“Ha, ha, ha~” Lei Yangyu broke into a loud laugh, “I’ve just heard a big joke. The Celestial Huangfu Family got the former Ma Huangfu’s Family implicated, not only letting them bear the blame but also silencing anyone who could threaten their safety. Now, they plan on swallowing up their assets. What a strategy, what a perfect strategy indeed!”

Lei Yangyu’s voice was loud enough for all the onlookers to hear. Everyone in the crowd couldn’t help but reveal an interested expression, discussing the matter in whispers.

Throughout history, people have always enjoyed juicy gossip with great relish.

The Grade Eight and Nine Prominent Families, the Family Heads, all had complex expressions.

As prominent families, their sources of information were far beyond those of independent cultivators and civilians.

Everyone knew that the Celestial Huangfu Family and the former Ma Huangfu’s Family were inseparable. The latter even regarded the former as their leader.

The former Ma Huangfu Clan’s collusion with the Yinsha Sect to betray the country, how could the Celestial Huangfu Family not know anything?

Moreover, the news about the banquet that night was out. After the plot was exposed, the venerable Old Ancestor Hua Ye even killed the most crucial witness, Huangfu Deyun.

Even a fool could tell it was a cover-up.

It’s just that the Celestial Huangfu Family was careful enough to not leave any solid evidence. But to all other families, the Celestial Huangfu Family was definitely involved in the matter with the Yinsha Sect.

It could very well be that the Celestial Huangfu Family colluded with the Yinsha Sect, and the former Ma Huangfu’s Family was just scapegoated.

People have discussed this privately, just not publicly.

Everyone was disgusted and chilled by the deeds of the Huangfu’s Family. They, at least in their hearts, thought of keeping a distance from the Huangfu family, to avoid any involvement.

Because you never know when the Celestial Huangfu Family might betray you for some reason.

Now that Lei Yangyu exposed this matter, it naturally stirred up many feelings among the people. Some felt sorry for the former Ma Huangfu’s Family, while some felt a hint of shared sorrow.

But despite being aware of the situation, the Grade Eight and Nine prominent families, bound by decorum and taboo, maintained their silence, sipping tea or eating snacks as if they hadn’t heard Lei Yangyu’s words.

But the common people and independent cultivators had no such qualms.

A bunch of self-styled insiders emerged from the crowd and began recounting the events vividly.

How the Celestial Huangfu Family conspired secretly with the Yinsha Sect to betray the country, then cleanly shifted the blame to the former Ma Huangfu’s Family once the plot came to light… a series of events were narrated in full detail as if they had been witness to it all.

The former Ma Huangfu’s Family was just a scapegoat; the real mastermind, the Celestial Huangfu Family, not only evaded punishment but also planned to seize the assets of the former Ma Huangfu’s Family.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was outraged.

Of course, some were just there for the juicy gossip and found the news thrilling, so they joined in the spreading.

In any event, rumors spread like wildfire.

As for evidence, the Da Qian Officials needed evidence. Average people indulging in the gossip didn’t need evidence. They were just thrilled by the rumors, so who needs evidence?

For a while, Lei Yangyu’s words caused a huge commotion, while practically causing an uproar in almost half of the square.

Huangfu Jinhuan sat in the host’s position, his face uglier than ever. Under the scrutiny and stares of so many people, he was extremely uncomfortable, as if in a furnace.

This was a ruthless move, striking Huangfu Family’s Achilles heel. Huangfu Jinhuan couldn’t fail to notice Wang Shouzhe whispering to Lei Yangyu earlier; how could he not deduce that Wang Shouzhe was advising Lei Yangyu?

At that moment, Huangfu Jinhuan’s gaze fell upon Wang Shouzhe like a sharp blade.

Wang Shouzhe, too, looked back from a distance, giving Huangfu Jinhuan a polite nod and a grin.

As if telling him: Yes, it was me who advised him, what can you do about it?

Huangfu Jinhuan was so outraged that he almost coughed up blood, a hint of hatred flashed in his grim eyes.

Fortunately, at this moment, City Lord Xiahou Hongde arrived, accompanied by his trusted aides.

He walked with an imposing stride, an authoritative look on his face as his tiger-like eyes scanned the surroundings. The scene quieted down instantly.

Even the common people and independent cultivators who were actively discussing fell silent.

“Everyone is here, let’s start the auction.”

In fact, Xiahou Hongde was in a good mood. Even though the former Ma Huangfu’s Family had caused such a scandal, he as the City Lord, had not only personally overseen the case but also eliminated a group of evil Yinsha Sect members. It could be considered a great achievement.
