As soon as Ning Zheng said this, everyone was shocked.

But he did not mean to defend himself at all, but continued to say to Xia Sheng: "According to the news we received, Ling Zun disappeared yesterday morning. It has been a whole day and a night since then. It can be said that we have missed the best time for search. If Mr. Xia insists on making unnecessary delays, the situation will only get worse and worse."

Xia Sheng suddenly laughed: "The question is, why should I trust you?"

Ning Zheng looked at Xia Sheng very seriously and said solemnly: "Because I am a person who is very afraid of death."

The smile on Xia Sheng's face stopped because he suddenly felt that this was the best reason.

So he nodded gently: "That's fair. If I find out that you have lied to me in the future, then the first person I want to kill is you."

Ning Zheng bowed and bowed: "It should be."

The conversation ended here. The time spent before and after was less than half a stick of incense, but Ning Zheng did something that even Xiao Zhen could not do.

He saved the Xiao Mansion, saved the lives of more than a dozen members of the Xiao family, and also saved the garrison soldiers present.

But that's not enough.

The next moment, Ning Zheng turned his head and respectfully said to Xiao Zhen: "I wonder if I can agree to my proposal just now?"

Xiao Zhen's body trembled, looked at the broken corpse of his son, and then looked at the two sacred lights on Xia Sheng's body that looked like Tianzhe, as if he had used all his strength and nodded.

"Protecting the lives and safety of the people in the town is Xiao's responsibility."

Ning Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "Since that's the case, I hope the lord will immediately order the garrison army to cooperate with Mr. Xia to search for his father's whereabouts."

Xiao Zhenhu's eyes were covered in blood, and slowly turned around and said, "I will leave this matter to you for your own disposal."

After saying that, Xiao Zhen never stopped and walked slowly back to the mansion. The bleak back looked extremely desolate.

Ning Zheng sighed in his heart, then said to everyone: "Okay, let's go back to the garrison mansion and wait, ready to obey the order at any time!"

"yes!"

After doing all this, Ning Zheng turned around and said to Xia Sheng: "Young Master Xia, can you talk about it in another place?"

Xia Sheng looked at Ning Zheng with a complicated expression, nodded and said, "Okay."

...

A quarter of an hour later, in the private room on the second floor of Wanfu Building, Xia Sheng and Ning Zheng were sitting opposite each other while sitting on the table, but there was nothing, not even a cup of tea.

Ning Zheng did not feel neglected at all because Xia Shengren talked to him in person, which was already a great respect.

The only thing he needs to do now is to prove to Xia Sheng that he deserves this respect.

So the first sentence Ning Zheng said went straight to the point.

"I would like to ask Mr. Xia, why do you think that Ling Zun's disappearance is related to Lord Xiao? Is it just because of Xiao Si's testimony?"

Xia Sheng nodded: "If it weren't for Xiao Si's use of Requiem Grass to medicine Qin Yan, my father wouldn't have happened."

Ning Zheng added: "And in this town, except Lord Xiao, you never imagined that anyone else would be unfavorable to Mr. Xia, right?"

"good."

"But what if it was done by someone outside the town?"

Xia Sheng's eyes were slightly condensed, and he waited for Ning Zheng to continue talking.

"In fact, as Mr. Xia knew, my master did instruct Xiao Si to add Requiem grass to Miss Qin's meals, but this was not Lord Xiao's original intention, and he was also coerced."

These words were indeed a bit beyond Xia Sheng's expectations. He couldn't help but say suspiciously: "But who can coerce Xiao Zhen in Baima Town?"

Ning Zheng nodded and said, "So I said before that Ling Zun's disappearance may have been done by people outside the town. Because they sneaked into the Xiao family's residence that day and coerced the lives of more than a dozen people in the Xiao family, the two foreigners were the ones who obeyed the advice!"

"Two people?"

"Yes, we have not investigated their identities yet, but according to the adults, it should be a couple. The woman looks sick and the man looks simple, but in fact she is a tough character in her bones!"

For a moment, Xia Sheng seemed to feel like he was falling into an ice cellar, and a strong chill rushed up from his back, causing a roar in his mind.

It turned out to be them!

But who are they and why do they do this?

Ning Zheng noticed the strangeness on Xia Sheng's face, but did not think too much, but continued: "So I was wondering if there is another possibility that the other party took Mr. Xia away, which was not malicious?"

Xia Sheng tried hard to calm himself down and asked quietly: "Where did you judge?"

Ning Zheng took a deep breath and immediately told his inference: "Before this, Lord Xiao and I were actually very puzzled. The strength of the other two was obviously unfathomable. If we wanted to deal with Miss Qin, it would be easy. Why do we have to go around such a big circle and spend so much effort to find our people to drug it?"

"And the medicine used is not a great poison, it is just a soul-requiem grass that just helps people fall asleep. If Mr. Xia hadn't suddenly returned and noticed something strange, Miss Qin would naturally wake up in another day, and nothing would have happened at that time."

"But after I learned about Mr. Xia today, I finally understood that the other party's target was not Miss Qin from the beginning, but Mr. Xia!"

Xia Sheng frowned and said, "I have known this for a long time. Is it meaningful if you talk about this now?"

Ning Zheng nodded and said, "Of course it makes sense! First of all, we can be sure that the other party is at least unwilling to hurt Miss Qin, so we chose the drug, a very weak toxicity of Requiem. Secondly, since the other party was coming for Lord Ling Zun from the beginning, then let's not care what kind of enemies Lord Ling Zun had made outside the town, but why is it now and why is it yesterday?"

Xia Sheng narrowed his eyes gently: "Do you want to say..."

"When we were searching for Mr. Xia last night, we learned that Lord Lingzun found a yard a few days ago, and it seemed that he had received some guests. Mr. Xia thought it would be related to this matter?"

Xia Sheng's heart sank, and two names immediately appeared in his mind.

Qin family.

Ye Family!

During his contact with Ye Xiao'e a few days ago, Xia Sheng knew that Luoyang Weining Marquis Mansion and Qin Family Shantang had never been incompatible, but by chance, he had contact with the young ladies of these two families.

So when Xia Sheng accompanied Ye Xiao'e to visit Baima Town, Qin Yan never appeared. This is why Xia Sheng tried to avoid unnecessary conflicts between the two parties due to their background.

If it were under normal circumstances, with Xia Sheng's wisdom, he could guarantee that the two would not meet until Ye Xiao'e left Baima Town.

But, in this process, an accident happened.

Forget back to the forest.

And you should know that there was a period of time when Xia Sheng used the White Flame Sword Formation to killing the enemy, and when he entered the middle of Baima Town!

During this period, perhaps Ye Xiao'e had already been vigorously protecting her back to Luoyang, or perhaps the Ye family in Luoyang had learned about the danger Ye Xiao'e had encountered in advance, so they sent someone to rescue her.

No matter what the situation is, the other party will definitely come to Baima Town first and find Xia Hong as soon as possible!

If Ye Xiaoe has returned to Luoyang, then the Ye family may have made a special trip to protect Xia Hong. If Ye Xiaoe has not returned home yet, then the person who comes can also ask Ye Xiaoe's whereabouts from Xia Hong.

In this way, everything can be explained!

This is also the reason why the other party was unwilling to attack Qin Yan, but instead took Xiao Zhen's subordinates to take Qin Yan's requiem grass, which only made him fall into a deep sleep!

Could it be that the person who took action was actually from the Ye family?

The other party is really as Ning Zheng said, and did not come with malicious intentions?

However, in an instant, Xia Sheng had already figured out a clear vein, but after a moment, he shook his head firmly.

"I have to say that your inference does give me a seemingly perfect explanation, but there is something wrong."

“What’s wrong?”
