Chapter 8 The Value of a Message

Chen Feng speculated that most of the familiar martial arts existed in this world, even if they were from different eras, they are still in the same Ming Dynasty.

"Boss, can you tell me about the Eight Families and Eight Sects, the Five Wonders and Four Villages, one gang, one religion and two masters? What kind of sects are these?"

Huo Yun glanced at Chen Feng in confusion. Although he didn't know why there was such a problem, he still introduced it.

After hearing the specific names of these sects, Chen Feng was completely immersed in shock and excitement.The Xiaoyao faction is actually one of the eight factions, there is a Mantuo villa in the four villas, and the Tiandihui and Hongmen belong to one of the five wonders. This world is too chaotic.

Huo Yun continued: "In addition to these famous and decent sects, there are also the five evil sects of evil. They must have participated in the destruction of the hidden sword villa. However, these things are too far away from you, so it's better to know less about them."

This time Chen Feng was not so surprised. Where there is good there must be evil, and it is normal for the so-called magic gate to appear.It's just that Chen Feng doesn't foolishly think that all demon sects must be bad people. Just like there are evil people in a well-known and decent sect, there must also be good people in the demon sect.

"Boss, the powerful sword manual in the martial arts world is right in front of us. Should we..."

Huo Yun said with a straight face: "Do you want to learn Dugu Nine Swords secretly?"

Chen Feng smiled awkwardly and said, "No, no, I just want to ask you what you want to do with this secret book?"

"Hmph, stealing martial arts is a big taboo in the world. If it is spread, it will definitely be cast aside by martial arts people!" Huo Yun said indignantly.

Chen Feng retorted: "That's true, but there must be a lot of stealing in the world."

"It is true that there are many people in the world who secretly learn martial arts, but the sect you learned will definitely hunt you down if they know about it!"

"The Hidden Sword Villa has been destroyed, why are they chasing me?" Chen Feng laughed.

Huo Yun was so angry that he almost used his inner strength to take action. The stubborn personality of a Shaolin disciple was fully revealed.It's just that his body hasn't recovered yet, and he coughs violently as soon as he mobilizes his internal strength.

Chen Feng quickly patted him on the back: "Boss, don't get excited. I'm just talking casually. If I have a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to learn Dugu Nine Swords secretly."

Huo Yun said coldly: "Remember what you said, if you let me know that you secretly learned the sword manual, I will kill you with my own hands!"

He put the sword manual back into the package, put the package in the dark compartment, and finally closed the closet.

"It's getting late. You should go back to your house and rest quickly. I will also stay in the inn these days." Huo Yundao said.

Chen Feng smiled and said: "Boss, I can't sleep, can you tell me about your affairs. You are a Shaolin disciple, why did you come to the capital to open an inn, and before tonight, you seem to have been living in a daze, did it happen? whats the matter?"

"You talk too much, I'm not in the mood to answer you!" Huo Yun left the room after leaving these words.

Hearing Huo Yun's footsteps gradually fade away, Chen Feng couldn't help but glanced at the wardrobe.He had seen the whole process of Huo Yun opening the closet just now, and he believed that he would be able to find out the Excalibur and the sword manual after some exploration.There is no one at the moment, it is really a great opportunity.

But after hesitating for a few seconds, Chen Feng decisively gave up.He owns a martial arts manual and has the opportunity to learn martial arts from all over the world, so why should he care about the sword manual in front of him.For this small gain, he ruined his reputation.Don't look at it as just a small matter of stealing lessons, maybe because of this matter, your journey through time will go astray.Whether he can obtain cultivation points is the second priority. He is afraid of causing a lot of trouble. At least until he is strong enough, it is better to keep a low profile.

Chen Feng went back to his room and tried hard to practice the Marrow Washing Sutra.

What he didn't know was that Huo Yun stood outside his room for a long time that night, and then left the inn suddenly.

Early in the morning, Chen Feng stretched his waist and went out of the house.He only slept for two hours that night. Although he was practicing internal skills, he couldn't rest while practicing.

He came to the room on the left, which belonged to Qin Ling, and there was no one in the room, and then went to Huo Yun's room, which was also empty, and there was still snoring in the room on the last side, Who else could it be besides Ma Delu?
Anyway, the inn was out of business, and Ma Delu suffered a lot of trauma, so if he wants to sleep, he can continue to sleep.

Chen Feng entered the inn from the backyard, walked around the first floor but did not see Qin Ling, but heard some noises from the second floor.

Fearing that someone would come to make trouble early in the morning, Chen Feng cautiously went up to the second floor, only to find out that it was Qin Ling who was cleaning the guest room.

The broken tiles in the guest room have been removed, but the hole in the roof cannot be repaired.

"Brother Feng came just in time, can you patch up the hole?" Qin Ling asked expectantly.

Chen Feng said helplessly: "I think it's better to find someone to fix it."

"But we don't have much spare money..." Qin Ling's voice was filled with tears.

The Laifu Inn was already very poor. Huo Yun only took money from the inn to drink and have fun, but never gave any money to the inn.By now, Chen Feng, Qin Ling and Ma Delu have already stopped receiving their salaries, and even eating has become a problem.

Everyone added money to the inn together, and continued to stay and work in the inn out of gratitude to Huo Yun and their feelings for the inn. However, the three of them were almost penniless.

"Where's the boss? I'm going to ask him for money!" Chen Feng said angrily.

"I haven't seen the boss so early in the morning. It's hard to say whether he will come back, let alone go to find him!" Qin Ling sighed.

"I'm going to find him, even if I search the entire capital, I must find this irresponsible boss!"

Chen Feng ran down aggressively, and was about to look for Huo Yun, and take a look at the scenery of the capital by the way.It's just that he just opened the door and stood there for a while.

Because there were so many people outside the inn, so many people seemed to occupy the entire Huanghua Alley. People from the White Crane Tower opposite were looking at this side angrily, because they couldn't even do business.

The people outside were also stunned when they saw Chen Feng, and then they were about to rush forward.Fortunately, Chen Feng reacted quickly and quickly closed the door.

Just when the door was halfway closed, the onrushing crowd bumped into the door, almost knocking it open.

Chen Feng used all his strength, and finally mobilized his internal strength, so he managed to hold the door against it, it was not completely knocked open, but there was no way to close it.

This is because the people outside did not intend to actually hit the door. Otherwise, with the strength of so many people, even Chen Feng would not be able to stop him.

"Hurry up and open the door, we are here for consumption, is your inn still open for business?" Someone shouted loudly.

Chen Feng yelled: "Quiet everyone! You people are dressed gorgeously, and you are not poor no matter how you look at it. Why are you all gathered in our inn?"

A middle-aged man with a mustache at the door said with a smile: "I heard that the food at Laifu Inn is delicious, so I came here admiringly."

The reputation of Laifu Inn must not be so big, Chen Feng has almost guessed the intention of everyone's visit.The people in front of me are not martial arts people, but they are not the poor people in Huanghua Hutong either.Yesterday, people from Jin Yiwei and Mingtang came here together to arrest someone. No one knew that person. It would inevitably make some high-ranking officials with ulterior motives very nervous, fearing that this case would have something to do with them.

There is no way, the case handled by Jin Yiwei has a long history of criminal records. At the beginning, he arrested a few small people who were not cared about, and then inexplicably investigated the heads of big people.As for Ming Tang, even though it was established not long ago and has not handled any cases, everyone knows that the emperor attaches great importance to Ming Tang, and the case Ming Tang handles must be a big one!

Therefore, anyone who has done illegal activities curiously sends people to investigate what happened yesterday.

Chen Feng had his heart in mind, these are the subordinates of high-ranking officials, they must be generous, wouldn't this be a good time to make money?
"Everyone, please be quiet!" Chen Feng began to flicker, "The inn is no longer in business because of financial problems, but everyone is so enthusiastic, I can't refuse, but we don't even have money to buy vegetables, so what How about entertaining everyone?"

The middle-aged man smiled and took out two taels of silver, handed it over and said, "Although the money is not much, I should be able to buy some vegetables and meat."

Although it is only two taels of silver, it is already a lot in the Ming Dynasty at this moment.The annual income of general handymen is only 20 taels, which is more than a month's income.Taking the price of rice as an example, two liang of silver is enough to buy four shi of rice, which is more than 370 kilograms!

Chen Feng happily took two taels of silver, and then let the middle-aged man go in. The people behind wanted to go in too, but he stopped him again.

"The two liang of silver was paid by the old man just now, so it is only used to entertain him. If you want to go in, you have to pay for it yourself!" Chen Feng said sternly.

Many people frowned, two taels of silver was not much in their eyes, but now it was so much money just to enter the door, it was unavoidably daunting.Someone had already entered in front, and it was difficult for everyone to spend less money, which made many people hesitate for a while.

However, there were still a few wealthy people. They were ordered by their masters to find out useful things no matter how much money they spent, so they took out the money without hesitation.

Chen Feng took the money and let them go, and in a blink of an eye, a dozen or so of them went in, their arms full of heavy money.

"Hurry up, hurry up, if no one wants to enter the inn, I will close the door!" Chen Feng urged.

This prompting forced another twenty people to pay and enter the inn.

It was full of nearly forty people, and behind them were forty high-ranking officials. In fact, according to the number of Beijing officials, this is only a small number.Of course, not all officials cared about Jin Yiwei's handling of the case.

Chen Feng locked the door, while Qin Ling who came downstairs was already dumbfounded.Chen Feng stuffed the silver taels into her hand, and said: "You take the money, call the horse, we're going to make a big deal."

Although Qin Ling didn't know why, he obediently went to the backyard to call someone.

Nearly forty people present did not sit down, the first middle-aged man who came in had already leaned forward and whispered in Chen Feng's ear: "We Ming people don't speak dark words, I came here to inquire about yesterday's events , as long as you tell us how Jin Yiwei and Mingtang handled the case, and the identity of the person who was arrested, I will be grateful!"

Chen Feng would not tell Dugu Yu's identity, but he could make it up himself. Anyway, the matter had nothing to do with those dignitaries, so making it up randomly would not worry them about becoming suspicious, nor would it have any impact on these people.

The plan has been decided, Chen Feng said with a smile: "Uncle, you go and sit next to me first, and everyone present, I know the reason for all of you to come. We Mingren don't speak dark words, since I let everyone in, Naturally, I intend to tell everyone the truth. It's just that this matter is very important, and I dare not speak nonsense..."
