Fifteen years ago, a horrific Luojiazhuang tragedy occurred in Nandu, where countless innocent people were killed. The truth of this tragedy has been fogged up, until now, Yun Xiang, a Yuntai Sect person, finally pieced together the truth of the year through the oral narration of five people. However, this truth is more brutal and shocking than anyone could have imagined. What kind of shocking secret is hidden in the story that Yun Xiang heard from the five people, and how will this secret affect his own fate? Let's explore the ins and outs of this bizarre case.
Wen Cong's warning: It's really more terrifying than imagined
It was a rainy night, and Yun Xiang came to Yan Luowang's private prison alone. In this eerie and terrifying dungeon, there is a person imprisoned, who is Wen Cong, the only witness to the Luojiazhuang tragedy and the life-saving benefactor of the survivor Luo Wenjia.
On a cold night 15 years ago, Luojiazhuang was bloodily slaughtered by a group of murderers, and all the men, women and children in the entire village were spared, except for an 8-year-old child, Luo Wenjia, who survived with the help of Wen Cong. Wen Cong traveled thousands of miles and sent Luo Wenjia to Yuntai, hoping that this child could start a new life here.
Now, time flies, Luo Wenjia has grown up, but Wen Cong has been imprisoned by Yan Luowang in this dark private prison. Yun Xiang, who learned of this situation, risked his life and came alone to rescue Wen Cong.
When Yun Xiang finally saw Wen Cong, this once heroic and fearless man was already in shape, and his face was yellow. Wen Cong looked at Yun Xiang, his eyes revealed a trace of surprise and relief, as if he didn't expect that someone would come to save him.
"Thank you for coming to the rescue, but I advise you not to continue to investigate the truth of the Luojiazhuang tragedy. Wen Cong spoke, his tone revealing a sense of desolation and helplessness.
"Why? Could it be that this tragedy is even more horrific than I imagined?" Yun Xiang asked in surprise.
Wen Cong nodded, his eyes dimmed: "Yes, everything that happened back then was several times more cruel than you can imagine. I saved Luo Wenjia just to keep him alive, but I didn't expect him to fall into the clutches of those people in the end. ＂
"Who do you mean?" asked Yun Xiang.
Wen Cong was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "All this is done by Qi Tianfeng, he is the mastermind behind the scenes. ＂
At the mention of this name, a trace of horror flashed in Wen Cong's eyes, and he seemed to have an incomparable fear of Qi Tianfeng. As the most powerful businessman in Nandu back then, why was Wen Cong so afraid of Qi Tianfeng, and why did Qi Tianfeng do such a brutal thing to the innocent people of Luojiazhuang? The truth of all this seemed to point to an even more terrifying secret.
"I advise you not to pursue it any further, or you will only fall into greater danger. Wen Cong said earnestly, "The truth is often more cruel than you think, and some things should never be known." ＂
Wen Cong's words undoubtedly made Yun Xiang even more curious and puzzled. As a Yuntai Gate person, he should investigate to the end and uncover the truth of this tragedy. But Wen Cong's warning made him hesitate and fear, could this truth really be as terrifying as Wen Cong said?
Qi Tianfeng's confession: I'm just an errand boy
Yun Xiang left the eerie and terrifying private prison, and Wen Cong's words kept echoing in his mind. Is it really more terrifying than imagined? What does this mean? Yun Xiang made up his mind to find out.
Soon, Yun Xiang found Qi Tianfeng's whereabouts. This tycoon, who used to dominate the shopping mall in Nandu, has now fallen to such a point, imprisoned in a simple room by Yunxiang.
Pushing open the door, I saw Qi Tianfeng skinny and yellow, and he had completely lost his heroic appearance. Seeing Yun Xiang walk in, he didn't seem surprised, but said lightly: "You're here." ＂
"Qi Tianfeng, I want to know the truth about the Luojiazhuang tragedy 15 years ago. "Yun Xiang goes straight to the point," Wen Cong said, all of this is your hands and feet. ＂
When Qi Tianfeng heard this, he sneered: "Wen Cong? he's just a pitiful worm." ＂
"Poor worm, what do you mean?" Yun Xiang asked.
Qi Tianfeng glanced at Yun Xiang and said slowly: "15 years ago, Wen Cong, Tang Xiao and others were just some little minions, and there were other people who really controlled everything. ＂
"Who else are you talking about?" asked Yun Xiang.
Qi Tianfeng shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more, but said lightly: "We are just some pawns that have been used by others. ＂
"Don't you know what you're doing?" asked Yun Xiang, puzzled.
Qi Tianfeng sneered: "What if you know? At that time, we were all small businessmen who were in danger, and we did everything for a little profit. ＂
It turned out that Qi Tianfeng, Wen Cong, Tang Xiao and others, who were dominant in the Nandu shopping mall back then, were just some chess pieces that were used by others. It is outrageous that they should do such an appalling thing for the sake of a little profit.
"Then who are you being used for, and who is behind the scenes?" Yun Xiang asked.
Qi Tianfeng was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally spoke: "Back then, we were all just following one person's instructions. That person is Nangong Fang. ＂
The name Nangong Fang made Yun Xiang feel a little familiar. He vaguely remembered that Nangong Fang was one of the most powerful businessmen in Nandu back then, and later took refuge in Ling Yuan, where he gradually grew in strength.
"Why is Nangong Fang, why did he do such a thing?" asked Yun Xiang puzzled.
Qi Tianfeng shook his head: "I don't know what his real purpose is, we were just used by him." At that time, he asked us to do something, and we did it without much thought. ＂
"What did you do?" asked Yun Xiang.
Qi Tianfeng was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "We...... Killed innocent people in Luojiazhuang. ＂
These words were like a heavy hammer, smashing into Yun Xiang's heart. It turned out that the tragic Luojiazhuang tragedy was committed by Qi Tianfeng, Wen Cong, Tang Xiao and others. And they are just chess pieces that were used by Nangong.
All the clues seem to point to Nangong Fang. But why did he do such a thing, and what was his purpose? More questions appeared in Yun Xiang's mind, and the answers to all these seemed to be found only by continuing to track them down.
Tang Xiao's revelation: The news of the opening order came from the Su family
After some hard work, Yun Xiang finally found Tang Xiao's whereabouts. This tycoon, who was also a powerful man in the Nandu shopping mall back then, has now fallen to such a point and is imprisoned in a simple room.
Pushing open the door, I saw Tang Xiao described as withered, pale, and completely lost the heroic appearance of the past. Seeing Yun Xiang walk in, he didn't seem surprised, but said lightly: "You're here." ＂
"Tang Xiao, I want to know the truth about the Luojiazhuang tragedy 15 years ago. "Yun Xiang goes straight to the point," Qi Tianfeng said, all of this was done by Nangong Fang. ＂
When Tang Xiao heard this, he sneered: "Nangong Fang, he is just a chess piece." ＂
"What do you mean?" asked Yun Xiang.
Tang Xiao glanced at Yun Xiang and said slowly: "15 years ago, we got news that the imperial court was going to abolish the sea ban and allow the private sector to buy land in coastal areas. ＂
"What is this?" asked Yun Xiang puzzled.
Tang Xiao explained: "A long time ago, the imperial court ordered that the private sector should not buy land in the coastal areas to prevent foreign invasion. But 15 years ago, news suddenly broke that the imperial court was going to abolish the ban. ＂
"Then where did this news come from?" Yun Xiang asked.
Tang Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "This news came from the Su family. ＂
The Su family, Yun Xiang, was shocked. Su Jianai was one of the most powerful business gangs in Nandu back then, and its president Su Linghe was the Taishan Beidou of the Nandu business community. Could it be that the Luojiazhuang tragedy back then was still related to the Su family?
"You said that the Su family spread the news, so what is their purpose?" Yun Xiang asked at the bottom of the matter.
Tang Xiao shook his head: "I don't know what their real purpose is, we just listened to this news." At that time, we all wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to buy some land in the coastal area in order to make a fortune. ＂
"But what happened later?" Yun Xiang asked.
Tang Xiao's eyes dimmed, as if he was recalling everything back then: "Later, we really got our wish and bought a large amount of land in the coastal area. But just as we were about to start reclamation, the imperial court suddenly issued an order, saying that the previous news was false and that the sea ban was still in effect. ＂
"So, you lost all your land?" asked Yun Xiang.
Tang Xiao nodded: "Yes, we lost everything. And, what's even more terrifying is that in the process of buying the land, we did not hesitate to do some outrageous things. ＂
Tang Xiao's words reminded Yun Xiang of the Luojiazhuang tragedy that Wen Cong and Qi Tianfeng said. Could it all be because of the news from the Su family?
At this moment, Yun Xiang suddenly remembered something. He asked, "Tang Xiao, have you ever seen Su Linghe holding a folding fan in his hand?"
Tang Xiao seemed to be stopped by this question, he pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Yes, I have indeed seen it." That folding fan seems to be something put in Nangong. ＂
Nangong Fang?Yunxiang was shocked. It turned out that when the news came out, Nangong Fang had already appeared in the Su family. Could it be that he orchestrated all this?
Su Huairou's revelation: My father was used
After some hard work, Yun Xiang finally found Su Huairou's whereabouts. As the most powerful descendant of the Su family in the business community of Nandu back then, Su Huairou is now living a reclusive life, away from the chaotic shopping malls.
Pushing open the door, I saw Su Huairou sitting on a Taishi chair, closing her eyes and recuperating. Hearing the movement, she opened her eyes and didn't seem surprised to see that it was Yun Xiang.
"Yunxiang, you're here. Su Huairou said lightly, "I know what you're here for." ＂
Yun Xiang nodded and went straight to the point: "Miss Su, I want to know the truth about the Luojiazhuang tragedy 15 years ago. Tang Xiao said that the news that the imperial court was going to abolish the ban on the sea came from your Su family. ＂
When Su Huairou heard this, her face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She spoke slowly, "Yes, it does. Back then, there was indeed such news from our Su family. ＂
"But why do you do this, and what is your purpose?" asked Yun Xiang.
Su Huairou was silent for a moment, as if she was recalling everything back then. After a long time, she finally spoke: "On the first day of February 15 years ago, an uninvited guest came to our house. This person had a business with my father, Su Linghe, in order to suppress Wen Cong, a businessman who was rapidly rising in the southern capital at that time. ＂
"Suppress Wen Cong? why?" asked Yun Xiang puzzled.
Su Huairou shook her head: "I don't know the specific reason. However, the bait given by the man was that the imperial court was going to repeal the ban on the sea and allow the private sector to buy land in the coastal areas. ＂
"Who is that person, and why did he do this?" Yun Xiang asked.
Su Huairou was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "That person is holding a folding fan in his hand, it seems to be something put in Nangong. ＂
Nangong Fang?Yunxiang was shocked. It turned out that the mastermind behind the news back then turned out to be Nangong Fang.
"So, your Su family believed the news and spread it?" Yun Xiang asked.
Su Huairou nodded: "Yes, my father was persuaded by that person at that time, thinking that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune. So, he spread the news. ＂
"But what happened later?" Yun Xiang asked.
Su Huairou's eyes dimmed, as if she was recalling everything back then: "Later, as we expected, the merchants who got the news began to buy land in the coastal area frantically. And among them, the most active is Wen Cong. Not only did he go to the beach to buy land himself, but he also spent a lot of money to buy title deeds from other merchants. ＂
Soon, the land deeds in the hands of most of the merchants in Nandu flowed into Wen Cong's pocket. This must be the result, otherwise, how can that person achieve the goal of defeating Wen Cong?" Su Huairou said this, as if she realized something, and her face changed slightly.
At this moment, the imperial court suddenly issued an order, saying that the previous news was false, and the sea ban was still in effect. Wen Cong suddenly changed from the most powerful wealthy businessman in the southern capital to a poor man in debt. Most of the assets under his name fell into the hands of our Su family and Tang Xiao. ＂
Su Huairou's words made Yun Xiang finally understand the truth of the year. It turned out that all this was a conspiracy carefully planned by Nangong Fang, the purpose of which was to defeat Wen Cong, a businessman who had risen rapidly in Nandu at that time. And the Su family was used by Nangong and became a tool for him to achieve his goals.
Yunxiang's discovery: The owner of the door turned out to be King Fu, and his ambition was to seize the throne!
After some hard work, Yunxiang finally found out the truth about the Luojiazhuang tragedy 15 years ago. It turned out that all this was a conspiracy carefully planned by Nangong Fang, with the purpose of defeating Wen Cong, a businessman who had risen rapidly in Nandu at that time. And the Su family, Qi Tianfeng, Tang Xiao and others were used by Nangong Fang and became his tools to achieve his goals.
However, why did Nangong Fang do this? What was his real purpose? Yun Xiang never found an answer. Just when he was about to give up, an unexpected discovery made him completely understand Nangong Fang's true ambition.
On that day, Yun Xiang came to the library of the Yuntai Gate people, ready to consult some information about Nangong Fang. As he flipped through an ancient book, a note fell out of the page.
Yun Xiang picked up the note, and there was a line of words written on it: "Chase the deer to the south of the Yangtze River, and help me to prosper." "This is obviously a letter of submission, and the person who signed it is Nangong Fang.
Yun Xiang was shocked. Could it be that everything Nangong Fang did in Nandu back then was to achieve his ambition to seize the throne?
At this moment, Yun Xiang remembered something. He asked, "Miss Kou Yan, do you know how high Nangong's status is in Ling Yuan?"
Hearing this, Kou Yan's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. She spoke slowly: "Nangong's status in Ling Yuan is indeed very high, and it can even be said that it dominates everything in Ling Yuan. ＂
"Why is this happening? Why can he have so much power in Ling Yuan?" Yun Xiang asked.
Kou Yan was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally spoke: "15 years ago, Nangong Fang brought the huge industry of Nandu at that time to join Ling Yuan. With this huge asset, he quickly gained a firm foothold in Ling Yuan and gradually expanded his power. ＂
"Therefore, over the years, his power in Ling Yuan has expanded rapidly. When Kou Yan said this, he seemed to realize something, and his face changed slightly.
When Yun Xiang heard this, he finally understood everything. It turned out that everything Nangong Fang did in Nandu back then was to achieve his ambition to seize the throne. He used the Su family, Qi Tianfeng, Tang Xiao and others to defeat Wen Cong, the most powerful businessman at that time, and thus obtained a large amount of assets. And this asset was the foundation for him to gain a firm foothold in Ling Yuan later.
Now, Nangong Fang already has a pivotal position in Ling Yuan, and it can even be said that he dominates everything in Ling Yuan. And the vote in his hand shows his ambition to seize the throne.
At this moment, Yun Xiang suddenly remembered something. He had heard Mo Bufan say that the Yuntai Sect Master had always refused to show his true face, and he might even collude with Ling Yuan. Could it be that the master of Yuntai Gate turned out to be Nangong Fang?
All the clues seem to point to this astonishing conclusion. As a Yuntai Sect person, Yun Xiang felt extremely shocked and angry. He vowed to completely uncover Nangong Fang's conspiracy and not let his ambitions succeed!
