70: C70 Investigation Trail

C70 Investigation Trail

Tang Tian was so anxious that he didn't even bother to take care of his clothes.

In the entire Yutang Country, he didn't care about his own rules. How many people would dare to directly say that they wanted to meet him, and how many with the same surname, Nie? As far as Tang Tian was concerned, there was only one new champion, Nie Zhen.

Whether it was in terms of personal strength or status, Nie Zhen was capable of completely overpowering his own existence. Tang Tian did not dare to put on airs and hurriedly greeted Nie Zhen himself.

"Hey!" "So it's the champion marquis who came to visit. My Duke Chisong's residence is basking in the glory of our humble dwelling!" Tang Tian from far away saw Nie Zhen riding a group of tall white horses, hurriedly smiled, cupped his fist and saluted Nie Zhen.

When Nie Zhen saw that Tang Tian had arrived, he dismounted his horse to greet him and then led Geng Geng into Duke Chisong Manor.

"What?" This is the new champion? "

"How could the Marquis be wrong when he said that just now!?" "I didn't expect him to be so young …"

It was only then that the guards realized that this was the new champion of Yutang Country, Marquis. No wonder even Duke Chisong had to personally make an exception to welcome him.

"Young Fellow Taoist Nie, you have just finished with your Trial Convention, so you should have returned home luxuriously first. You immediately came to find me, is there something you need?" Tang Tian welcomed Nie Zhen into the guest room. After the servant poured Nie Zhen a cup of tea, he asked with a smile.

Nie Zhen stared at Tang Tian. From his expression, Nie Zhen felt that Tang Tian didn't have anything to do with this matter. With Tang Tian's Soul Realm, he wouldn't be so calm under his gaze.

"Hmm? "What's wrong?"

Nie Zhen took a deep breath and said to Wu Tie, "Duke Chisong, I won't beat around the bush. I came to visit because I have something important to ask you."

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't come here without a reason. What is it, speak up. If I can help, I definitely won't say anything."

Tang Tian was smiling and his heart was pounding. Judging from Nie Zhen's expression, it shouldn't be a good thing. He was thinking about how to put it into words.

"Master Tang, when I returned to the Guiyan City yesterday evening, I discovered that my Nie Family Manor was attacked by a group of masked experts the night before yesterday. Although there were only a few dozen of them, all of them carried exceptional skills, injured my father, and kidnapped my sister.

"What?!" Tang Tian was shocked when he saw Nie Zhen's expression. He immediately stood up and said, "Young Fellow Taoist Nie, you wouldn't suspect me of doing this, right?! I definitely did not do such a thing! "

He had originally thought that Nie Zhen came to investigate the matter of Murong Family's compensation, and he had already thought of it beforehand. After all, he did not expect that the Murong Family would give him that much compensation, and he had thought of finding a suitable opportunity to return the two cities to the Murong Family.

But who would have known that Nie Zhen did not do it for this matter? Instead, something even bigger happened and it was Nie Zhen's sister, Nie Xiaoqi, who was kidnapped!

Everyone knew about Nie Xiaoqi and Murong Lee. Everyone would guess that Nie Xiaoqi was kidnapped by the Residence of Wu Steel out of anger. Naturally, the experienced Tang Tian would also guess this to be the case.

Tang Tian didn't blame Nie Zhen. If he stood on Nie Zhen's side, he would guess from his own body, but he was really wronged, so he could only try to force an explanation.

Tang Tian's explanation wasn't that convincing. It all depended on Nie Zhen's mood, but Tang Tian felt that he still couldn't come up with any evidence to prove that he didn't do it.

Luckily, Nie Zhen was calm and assured Tang Tian, "Master Hou, I believe you have never done this before. But Master Hou, are you sure that no one in your family has ever done this?"

Tang Tian had just put down his worries when he heard Nie Zhen's words. More importantly, he felt that Nie Zhen's words made sense.

Tang Tian knew his daughter's character very well. She might really order her men to do something behind his back.

"Someone come!" Get Chief Steward and Second Steward over here right now! Immediately! " Tang Tianxin was extremely anxious, and Tang Tian knew that even if the two Great Elders were incited by Tang Le, they would definitely ask for his opinion first. Only two of them, in their eyes, whether it was him or Tang Le, were masters, and if Tang Le stubbornly requested, he might really be able to persuade them not to report to him.

In the entire Wu Steel Manor, besides himself, there were only two great elders and two Chief Steward who had the ability to mobilize a large number of men. The rest of them might be able to mobilize a few men, but it was definitely impossible to organize dozens of elites.

"Young Fellow Taoist Nie, please take a seat. We will find out soon enough if it was really done by my two stewards. If you want to kill me or punish me, just let Young Fellow Taoist Nie be. I will not say no to you!" Tang Tian was also infuriated. If such a huge matter was kept from him by his subordinates, then wouldn't that mean that his prestige would not be as great as it was before?

As Tang Tian's order was very strict, Chief Steward arrived before long. He looked at Tang Tian and then looked at Nie Zhen. The atmosphere in front of them was a little hard for them to understand.

"Your Lordship, you've summoned us urgently. What orders do you have?" Chief Steward asked first.

"Chief Steward, Second Steward, I have something to ask you, you must answer truthfully, if there is half a word of concealment, I will not forgive you, do you understand?" Tang Tian was no longer as calm as usual. His eyes were fierce, and his expression told the two stewards that he was definitely not joking.

"This subordinate will say anything he knows!" Although the duo did not know what was going on, they both knelt down to express their agreement.2

Tang Tian said in a serious tone: "I ask you, did you bring anyone to cause trouble at the Nie Mansion s, especially the young miss who kidnapped the Nie Family s? "If you do, hand him over as soon as possible. Otherwise, your family's lives will be in danger!"

"Ah?!" Chief Steward and Second Steward expressed surprise at the same time. They first looked at Tang Tian, then looked at Nie Zhen. They then looked at each other. It was as if this was the first time they had heard of such a thing.

When Tang Tian asked, Nie Zhen had already used his consciousness to look at the two of them, and even did not hesitate to use the Asura Pupil Technique to check if they were lying. However, from their performance, Nie Zhen leaned towards the two of them not knowing anything.

"Your Lordship, where did this come from? Your subordinate doesn't know." Second Steward said anxiously.

Chief Steward continued, "I don't know if Master Hou has asked the two elders, but we have never done such a thing..."

Immediately after, Chief Steward looked at Nie Zhen, and said: "Furthermore, with our current status in Nie Family, even if we don't know the severity of the matter, we shouldn't openly start a war with Nie Family. Isn't this being a betrayal of the Wu Steel Manor …"

Tang Tian glanced at the two stewards and felt that the two stewards didn't seem to be lying, so he turned to Sun Tie and said, "Young Fellow Taoist Nie, it seems that this matter really wasn't done by our family. Tang Tian glanced at the two stewards and felt that the two stewards weren't lying, so he turned his head and said to Sun Tie," Young Fellow Taoist Nie, it seems that this matter wasn't done by our family.

Nie Zhen frowned. From the looks of it, it really wasn't Duke Chisong's house. This made things even more troublesome because Nie Zhen didn't even know who would kidnap Nie Xiaoqi. How was he supposed to find Nie Xiaoqi in such a big world?

"I wonder if the champion marquis has any clues? If he does, he can't tell us. Speaking of which, this Liu Steel Manor used to be part of the Chisong Prefecture as well. My Wu Steel Manor will definitely help out." Chief Steward said to Nie Zhen.

It seemed as if Chief Steward's words were only a simple statement, but actually, the Nie Family and the Wu Steel Manor were so close together that it sounded like they were on the same boat together, and after clarifying the misunderstanding, they took the initiative to help. No matter how this event developed, Nie Zhen would always regard the Wu Steel Manor as his friend, but these words were deliberately spoken by Tang Tian, as a steward of the Wu Steel Manor, and there was no trace of them in his words.

Nie Zhen took out a piece of black cloth from his chest and said: "I don't have any other clues for now, just a piece of cloth left behind by the person who attacked my Nie Family that day."

Actually, saying that this was a clue wasn't exactly true. After all, it was just a piece of black cloth.

Chief Steward was meticulous and did not pass it over when he heard Nie Zhen's words. Instead, he took two steps forward and said, "Can I take a look?"

Nie Zhen was so happy that someone was analyzing the situation for him.

Chief Steward took the black cloth and observed it carefully. Sometimes he would frown and think deeply.

"My family's Chief Steward is meticulous and may find some clues from it. Young Fellow Taoist Nie, please wait for a moment." At this moment, Tang Tian could be at ease as long as Zhou Tie did not vent his anger on the Liu Steel Manor.

After a long while, Chief Steward returned the black cloth to Nie Zhen.

Nie Zhen said anxiously, "Have you found any clues?"

"If you want to talk about clues, I can't tell." Seeing that Nie Zhen was disappointed, Chief Steward changed the topic. "However, I have a thought that might not be able to find the real culprit, but it is also a direction that can be consulted by the champion."

"That's great. I beg of you, please enlighten me." Nie Zhen's eyes lit up. This Chief Steward didn't want to die, instead, he made Nie Zhen feel more confident.

Chief Steward was a bit polite, pointed at the black cloth and said: "Champion, marquis, look, this black cloth does not seem to be very eye-catching, but if you look carefully, whether it is the material of the cloth or the workmanship, you can all see it is very fine. For a cloth of this level, not to mention a shop that can make such a fine and exquisite material, there are not many that could afford it. Furthermore, according to the Champion Marquis, dozens of experts who attacked the Nie Mansion at night were covered in black. If such a large amount of cloth was consumed, then even ordinary noble families would not be able to afford it. If one were to offend the champion duke, then, when you were still a member of the Wealthy Class, did you wear clothes made of this material? "

What Chief Steward said made Nie Zhen feel enlightened. Nie Zhen looked at the piece of cloth and realized that even his father, Nie Zhen, had never worn it, let alone himself.

Tang Tian looked at the cloth and did not feel that the cloth was that magical. Chief Steward saw Tang Tian's confusion, so he explained, "Master Hou, you don't need to be suspicious, the reason why you did not notice this is because you normally wear clothes of this material, even the higher-ups of the Wu Steel Manor wear it, and it is also because of this material. You are used to seeing it, so you will naturally not feel that something is amiss, while the champion is in chaos, so you naturally did not notice this point."
