Chapter 1038: The Family's Strategy
From this point of view, Tian Tao and the Second Elder are not in the same camp, at least in the current situation, they are still in a 'hostile' state. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, the second elder was loyal to the Tian family and never disagreed, as long as the Tian family encountered difficulties, he would definitely do his best to help the Tian family tide over the difficulties.
The second elder has not obtained the qualification to attack the battle king powerhouse so far, because he has been hit hard by protecting the Tian family, so that his cultivation has been damaged.
Tian Tao knew that the second elder felt that Tian Guiyin was relatively sophisticated, tactful, and did not seek merit but no fault, and was the best candidate to stabilize the status of the Tian family.
On the other hand, Tian Tao is young, strong, upright, and can sacrifice everything for the Tian family, but he lacks adaptability and wit, and is indecisive in handling things.
In contrast, the Second Elder would rather be conservative or even hold back than put the Tian family in crisis.
This is the main reason why the second elder opposes Tian Tao's succession as the head of the Tian family, not a personal grudge.
If it was said that Special Envoy Shen was killed by the Second Elder, Tian Tao would not believe it if he killed him.
"Yes, how could I possibly kill Envoy Shen?"
The second elder, who was being chased by Yichen, looked at Tian Tao in surprise and said casually.
As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as Tian Tao echoes and points the finger at the second elder, no matter what the truth is, it will be difficult for the second elder to justify.
What's more, in front of the two War King powerhouses, the cultivation strength of the Second Elder was nothing at all.
If the two of them hit the killer hard, and then handed him over to the Auction Guild, even if they couldn't confirm the Second Elder's crimes, they wouldn't be able to clarify the facts.
However, Tian Tao not only did not fall into the trap, but instead spoke out to help the second elder of the 'hostile' camp.
This made the second elder feel a little touched in an instant, even though he thought that he was innocent in the first place.
"It's okay in your heart, what are you panicking about?"
No matter how Tian Tao and the Second Elder reacted, Yichen still insisted on what he said.
On the road from the Tian family's auction house to the Tian family, Yichen thought a lot, and after meeting the second elder, he felt that he had a breakthrough.
As for whether the second elder killed Special Envoy Shen, it doesn't really matter, but this matter must be related to Tian Guiyin.
The change in the expression of the second elder made Yichen more sure in his heart that there was a situation in the middle.
"Panic...... I just ......"
The second elder's panic came from Yichen's intimidation.
Special Envoy Shen died in the Tian family, and if the real murderer is not found, I am afraid that the entire Tian family will not escape suspicion.
"Second Elder, you ......"
The second elder's support startled Tian Tao.
"You just concealed Tian Guiyin's whereabouts, and you didn't kill Special Envoy Shen, right?"
Yichen saw that the second elder was in chaos, so he continued to intensify his questioning.
If the death of Special Envoy Shen was related to the Second Elder, he would not have asked Tian Tao to see the approval and nameplate before.
However, the second elder flickered, and he didn't know that Special Envoy Shen was dead, and the only possibility was that he had mastered Tian Guiyin's movements, but he was unwilling to say it.
"Yi Gongzi, the delivery of the approval by the special envoy of Shen is a great good thing for the Tian family, and it is too late for me to be happy. ”
The second elder felt awkward about Yichen's attitude, and he didn't know what Yichen was going to ask next.
Since even Yichen believed that he had not killed Envoy Shen, why did he still chase after him.
A family that is not of the highest grade is related to the death of the special envoy of the auction guild, and this matter is very tricky.
The stakes are very high, and after weighing the two elders, they still choose to tell the truth:
"I heard that the approval document didn't arrive, and I thought it was the Xiao family or the Winter family who made it bad, so I ......"
Tian Tao wanted to see Tian Guiyin, saying that he was asking for advice on the promotion of the Tian family's auction house.
The second elder considered at that time that this was Tian Tao using Tian Guiyin.
Whether it is Tian Guiyin or the Tian family, they currently have no strength to fight against the Xiao family and the Winter family.
Even if the Shen envoy died at the hands of the other party, the Tian family was not qualified to intervene in the matter.
After all, Special Envoy Shen is an official of the Auction Guild, and if something happens, the Auction Guild should come forward, not to push Tian Guiyin into a dangerous situation.
As long as Tian Guiyin does not show up and let the auction guild investigate the case on its own, the Tian family will not be involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong.
When the matter is over, the Tianjia Auction House will negotiate with the Auction Guild again, get back the approval and its own nameplate, and then stay out of the matter.
The second elder did not tell Tian Tao where Tian Guiyin was going, so as to avoid conflicts between the Tian family and the Xiao family or the Winter family, and save the trouble of getting into trouble.
"Second Elder, no one doubts you, but Third Uncle may know something. ”
Tian Tao finally understood what Yichen meant, and secretly praised it in his heart.
"The head of the family will not kill anyone, not to mention his cultivation strength, he is not the opponent of Special Envoy Shen at all. ”
At this time, the second elder was still thinking of excusing Tian Guiyin.
Half a year ago, Tian Guiyin's cultivation was at the pinnacle level of the battle commander, and the strength of the Shen envoy was the same, if the Shen envoy was not paying attention, there might be a chance to kill him with one blow.
However, since offending the Winter family and being defeated by Winterley, Tian Guiyin's actual cultivation will never exceed the high-level level of the war commander.
Even if it was a sneak attack, as long as Envoy Shen was not asleep, Tian Guiyin would still not be able to succeed.
"I don't want the third uncle to be a murderer, but it is a matter of the survival of the entire Tian family, I must find the third uncle and understand the situation. ”
In all fairness, Tian Tao's purpose in looking for Tian Guiyin was not to prove that Tian Guiyin was the murderer of Special Envoy Shen.
According to Deacon Wen, the last place where Envoy Shen stayed before his death was somewhere in the Tian family.
And Tian Guiyin, the head of the Tian family, is very likely to know the truth of the matter, and at least he can provide some clues.
The half-month period is not long or short, and if there are clues, there may be results soon.
But if you are like a headless fly, wandering around aimlessly in private, even if you add another month, there will be no progress.
"Second Elder, your single thought is likely to ruin the entire Tian family. ”
Yichen felt that the time had come, and it was time for a showdown:
"Although Tian Guiyin is the head of the family, he is only a member of the Tian family, which is more important, you can measure it yourself. ”
The second elder didn't want Tian Guiyin to get involved, and the fundamental purpose was still for the Tian family.
But the current situation does not allow the second elder to continue to conceal it, the sooner he tells Tian Guiyin's whereabouts, the more beneficial it will be to the Tian family.
To maintain Tian Guiyin, it must be based on the overall interests of the Tian family, otherwise, the second elder will lose his principles.
"The head of the family said a few days ago that he was going to go out, but he didn't say the specific address. ”
The second elder's face was a little embarrassed, and the struggle in his heart made him hesitate several times, and finally spoke:
"A disciple secretly told me that he seemed to have seen the head of the family near the Feng family......
"The Feng family?"
Tian Tao couldn't help but repeat a sentence, his face full of surprise.
The Feng family in the mouth of the second elder is the second largest family in the capital, and its strength is so strong that it is only subordinate to the Winter family.
In the early years, Tian Guiyin once tried to get close to the four major families in the capital, and asked to meet the heads of the four major families more than once.
With an identity like Winterley, he naturally disdained to make friends with the Tian family, but he still accepted a generous gift from Tian Guiyin.
The Cui family and the Xiao family are the same, they only accept gifts and do not do things, and they do not show their attitude, so that Tian Guiyin spent a lot of money in vain, and ended up with the nickname of 'people are stupid and have a lot of money'.
Only the Feng family, Feng Liang and his wife even shut out the door with people and things, and they didn't accept gifts and didn't see anyone, so they directly let Tian Guiyin eat the closed door.
Therefore, in recent decades, Tian Guiyin has more or less had some dealings with the other three major families in the capital, although the gains outweigh the losses, they can be regarded as 'climbing the high branches'.
However, from beginning to end, the Tian family has not had anything to do with the Feng family.
In private, Tian Guiyin was very disdainful of Feng Liang and his wife's attitude, but in his bones he looked forward to the fact that sooner or later he would be qualified to associate with the Feng family.
Tian Tao knew that if Tian Guiyin hadn't gotten the treasure that could impress Feng Liang and his wife, he would definitely not go to the Feng family again.
"I thought it was strange too, but now I figured it out. ”
Unlike Tian Tao, the second elder has another opinion on things:
"As you said, maybe the head of the family knew something about the death of the Shen envoy, and knew that the Tian family did not have the strength to compete with the Xiao family and the Winter family, so he went to unite with the Feng family.
With the second largest family in the capital as a backer, and the Tian family already has two strong warriors, the head of the family has the confidence to deal with each other......
Of course, more importantly, Special Envoy Shen is an official of the Auction Guild, and as long as the head of the family makes the murderer's situation public, he will definitely alarm the Auction Guild.
Even if the Xiao family and the Winter family join forces, they are far from being the opponents of the auction guild...... This is the strategy of the head of the house!"
Through various forces that did not belong to him, he put pressure on the Xiao family and the Winter family, which could not only defeat the arrogance of the other party, but also hide the Tian family behind the scenes.
In the eyes of the second elder, Tian Guiyin's move was extremely clever, and such a city government was definitely not something that Tian Tao's people could do.
"Let's go!" Yichen and Tian Tao exchanged glances, then pulled up their figures and quickly left the Tian family.
"Hey, you ......"
The second elder really never forgot it, and put gold on Tian Guiyin's face.
Unexpectedly, Tian Tao and Yichen didn't sell it at all, and disappeared into the void in an instant, leaving only the second elder alone, stunned.
No matter what the second elder thought at this moment, Yichen and Tian Tao were just in a hurry.
Tian Tao, who was still nervous, gradually calmed down.
At least one thing is certain, Tian Guiyin is a clue, no matter who the murderer is, it will soon be revealed.
The real reason for Tian Tao's confidence was Tian Guiyin's cultivation strength, without the help of the second elder, Tian Guiyin would not have been able to kill the other party in one fell swoop without any resistance from the envoy Shen.
