Chapter 346 The Gold Case
Chapter 346 The Gold Case
This small town is really poor, Lu Xiaofeng has traveled all over the world, and he has never seen a more poor and barren place than this place.He really couldn't imagine a person like Liu Chengfeng, why would he come to this kind of place?
He couldn't even understand what would happen in a place like this that would make Liu Chengfeng travel thousands of miles away, and it would be something that would make Liu Chengfeng feel that his life and death were in danger.
An unknown town and a world-renowned swordsman, it was impossible to connect with each other.
But now, he understood that it turned out that Liu Chengfeng was there for the preparation money worth 500 million taels of gold!
This was already strange, but what was even more strange was that Liu Chengfeng died!Not only Liu Chengfeng died!Many more died!
"Xiaoxiang Swordsman" Wei Ziyun patted his shoulder and said: "My condolences!"
Lu Xiaofeng's expression was calm, calm to the point of fear, he held a piece of silk cloth in his powerful hands, and almost crushed the silk cloth into pieces!
After being silent for a long time, Lu Xiaofeng said: "The smell here is too bad... Let people move all the corpses out! Wait!"
Suddenly Lu Xiaofeng found some white powder on the ground, he cautiously did not touch it with his hands, but picked up a short blade that fell on the ground, slowly scraped some up, and then gently sniffed After a while, for a long time, he said, "Scorpion powder?"
Walking out of this hellish place of Shura, Lu Xiaofeng sat on the scorched ground, spread out the piece of silk cloth in his hand, on it was blood-colored writing - mind yourself, don't meddle in your own business !
The handwriting is strong and powerful, and the edge of the pen almost penetrates the entire piece of silk cloth. It is conceivable that the person who wrote these handwritings is a person with high martial arts skills and is good at using swords. Maybe... he is a man!Only a man's handwriting can be so strong and powerful.
Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Wei, what's your judgment?"
"Central Plains Escort Chief Escort Baili Changqing... Central Plains Escort Chief Escort Jin Peng... Bashan Sword Sect Gu Daoren...'Three-Handed Immortal' Xu Sha...'One Sword Rides the Wind' Liu Chengfeng! A total of 13 people died! At least half of them are famous people, and the rest may not be famous, but their martial arts must be very high!", Wei Ziyun said slowly.
Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said: "Based on my years of experience in handling cases, these people...except Liu Chengfeng, the rest were all killed on the same day, and - maybe they were killed together." dead!"
"What? My God! Who can have this ability?" Wei Ziyun almost jumped up from the ground, and for a long time, he looked at Lu Xiaofeng with some doubts, and said, "Why do you have such a judgment? Together killed..."
"Liu Chengfeng's head showed signs of rot, but the others didn't show any signs of rot. As for why their heads didn't rot, it was because of scorpion powder... and this kind of thing is only used by Bashan Sword Sect members. , Old Gu Bashan is also one of these dead..."
Lu Xiaofeng said slowly: "I've seen countless dead people, and I've also learned how to do it. You don't have to doubt that I can judge the time of a person's death. Now, what we want to think about is——who can kill them at the same time? Kill! Moreover, these people were definitely killed by people! Not poisoned!"
Wei Ziyun also believed this, because there were traces of fighting in this secret room. Although the bodies of these people were burnt, their heads were still there, and they all had terrified expressions. color……
"There are not many people who can do this in Jianghu! They died at least a month and a half ago..." Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "Taoist Mu can do it, maybe Ximen Chuuxue can do it, but... Most likely in Korean!"
"Mu Taoist is dead now! He was alive a month and a half ago... but are there only three of them?" Wei Ziyun couldn't help asking: "The Jade Rakshasa of the Western Demon Sect, the second elder of Shangshan, the master of Shaolin Temple... Maybe, The other party is not alone?"
"Um?";
Lu Xiaofeng blinked his eyes, as if he was too persistent to kill so many people by himself!He smiled awkwardly and said, "You're right! There are so many masters, even in Korean, it will be very difficult, right? Then! Let's find someone first! Let's find out the identities of these people first! "
Riding a horse, looking at the scorched earth of Huangshi Town, "Xiaoxiang Swordsman" Wei Ziyun said, "Do you know that there is a legend circulating in this town?"
"Oh? Let's hear it!" Lu Xiaofeng was always very curious and couldn't help asking;
Therefore, Wei Ziyun eloquently said that somewhere near here, there is a huge treasure buried.There is nothing in this treasure, only gold, the amount of gold cannot even be estimated.
It is a pity that no one can find it, and no one can see the gold, only the yellow sand that is always rolling and flowing in the wind.
Gold is everyone's dream, but the boundless yellow sand is like a nightmare.The dream of gold is extinguished, and the gold seekers are gone.Between coming and going, the town gradually sank, and it has been desolate until now, and there are very few strange travelers coming.
The story is short, but it tells Lu Xiaofeng that many people have been here before, and many people have passed by...
He thought about it, and felt that he seemed to have missed something, but he couldn't think of it for a while, because he was very busy, and he wanted to prove the identities of these heads!
On the seventh day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, in the capital, Han Wen drank wine in silence. Beside him was Gongsun Lan. Gongsun Lan frowned and asked, "Why didn't you hide all those things? Why didn't you kill them?" Lu Xiaofeng?"
Han Wen pursed his lips and said, "It's nothing! I just want to compete with Lu Xiaofeng! With 500 million taels of gold as a bet, maybe... still have this life! The parents of Gong Susu and Gong Ping How is the girl's arrangement?"
"What else? The 'red shoes' have all been transferred now! But won't it arouse suspicion?" Gongsun Lan glanced at Han Wen, no longer entangled with the previous things, but talked about Gong Ping and Gong Susu, the mother and daughter, said, "What if Lu Xiaofeng finds them?"
"Separate them and threaten them with each other, so they won't dare to move! It's very simple! As long as they are honest for a month, I will let them go, it's that simple! I guess Lu Xiaofeng will come to me for help, you... You can withdraw now! Wait for me!" Han Wen raised his head and said.
Gongsun Lan bit her lip, and slowly retreated from the room, disappearing into the darkness in the corner of the room. She is a perverse woman, but at the same time, as long as she is conquered, she is also a very well-behaved and docile woman. Of course, this only works with her man.
Sure enough, as expected by Han Wen, Lu Xiaofeng came, and he listed Han Wen in the list of suspects, but he had to ask Han Wen to do something, because he needed an expert escort, and also needed Han Wen to help invite two people!
"You are still so leisurely!", Lu Xiaofeng looked tired and looked ugly, snatched the Hanwen wine pot and drank it. After a long time, he let out a long breath and said, "I'm here to beg You do the work!"
Han Wen slowly stretched out three fingers, which means that he agreed, but it also means that Lu Xiaofeng already owes him three favors: "I know! People from the government are frequently transferred, it is said that it is because of certain things... and, They also asked me about your whereabouts, it seems that you have gotten into trouble again?"
"Okay! Have you heard of the chief and second chiefs of the Central Plains Escort Bureau?" Lu Xiaofeng asked with a sigh.
Han Wen nodded, and said: "I have heard a little bit! It is said that the Central Plains Escort Agency is known as the second in the world, but no one dares to claim to be the number one. Even Baili Changqing himself doesn't know that there are many semicolons under his banner. I haven’t been a dart for a few years, and I have always left it to Jin Peng, the second in charge, to drink and enjoy myself with peace of mind! They can be regarded as two masters, but they are not in my eyes!”
"Old Gu Bashan, have you heard of Liu Chengfeng who rides the wind with one sword?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.
Han Wen also nodded, and said: "Thunderlike! These two are also the opponents I have been looking forward to, especially Liu Chengfeng. It is said that he is the first direct disciple of 'Bashan Lao Gu', and his 'Qiqi 49 hand Huifeng Wuliujian' is also quite famous in Jianghu, at least Bashan Xiaogu may not be his opponent, I am looking forward to a match with him!"
"Have you ever heard of the three-hand fairy Xu Sha, the big drum, and the embroidered shoes?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.
Han Wen nodded and shook his head again, and said, "Dagu, this fat man is said to have been a thin man in the past, and his qinggong is unpredictable, not inferior to Sikong Zhaixing, embroidered shoes... This woman is a woman who is very good at making money, as if this Both of them are new super killers in the Jianghu. I'm not sure where they came from, but I know some. As for Xu Sha, I haven't heard of it! What do you ask these people to do?"
"The three-handed fairy used to be the three-handed fairy! 30 years ago, even if she wasn't the most beautiful woman in the world, she could still be ranked in the top three... Speaking of this, I just want to tell you, dead! These people, all dead And died in a place where birds don't shit and fish don't lay eggs!", Lu Xiaofeng said a little irritable.
"Oh? It's interesting! It seems that you have caused a lot of trouble this time!", Han Wen smiled and said, "Tell me! What do you want me to do? If there are some trivial matters, then I will spare you! I I'm not very interested, they're dead, it's none of my business?"
"Okay! These people were all killed by someone! It may be one person, or several people, but no matter who it is, it is... a master! I think you will be interested!";
Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his brows, and said: "The imperial court has lost 500 million taels of gold military expenses! Please let me investigate the case. If the investigation is completed, I will be safe and sound, and there will still be a lot of money to be rewarded. If the investigation is not good It's over, the head is on the ground!"
"Military expenses? What is that? This is what you want to check?" Han Wen frowned, as if he really didn't know.
"That's right! Thirty-five million taels of gold is the current imperial court's war preparations. Because there is a rumor that there is a rebellion in the south, the gold is transported down and used for war." Lu Xiaofeng sighed;
"Why not transport it directly with the army?" Han Wen asked again;
"I'm afraid of attracting attention, because of the rebellion in the south, I don't know if there will be a rebellion. If the news about the gold shipment leaks, it will change immediately, and I will not be able to prepare for it—so I entrust the Central Plains Escort Bureau to escort it! And now, their head of the Escort Baili Changqing and the deputy head of the escort, Jin Peng, are all dead!" Lu Xiaofeng said;
"Then what? Does this have anything to do with those killers, Daoist Gu, and Liu Chengfeng?" Han Wen said.
Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his brows, and said: "I don't know about others, but I know that the military department of the imperial court had approached Liu Chengfeng before and asked him to formulate the escort route within a month! At that time, in order to deceive people, there were not many escorts!"
"Who is there?" Han Wen asked;
"Chief Escort Chief Baili Changqing, Deputy Chief Escort Jin Peng, Emei Heroine Situ Feng, Situ Huang, Situ Ying, Situ Yan, Qingcheng Jianxuan Daozi! Perhaps, if Liu Chengfeng survives, he will be added! ";
Lu Xiaofeng said slowly: "But they were killed in Huangshi Town, a small town in the northwest border, no! It should be said that apart from Baili Changqing, Jinpeng and Liu Chengfeng from the Central Plains Escort, the others are gone!"
Han Wen: "Why? Why did these people disappear? Also, you said that they transported the war preparation funds to the south. How did you get involved in the northwest?"
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, and said, "Because I want to deceive people! It's that simple!"
Han Wen pretended to think about it for a long time, and said: "I can only tell you that 500 million taels of gold is not a small amount. If you want to transport it away or intercept it, you need not one or two people, it should be a gang commit crimes, and in the Northwest, there is only one person with the strongest ability, or one force!"
"oh?";
Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows with interest, but Han Wen looked at her as if she were an idiot. He couldn't ask, so he thought for a long time and said, "Western Demon Cult?"
"Maybe! Who knows! I want to compete with that Jade Raksha leader!" Han Wen smiled and said, "What are you going to do next? You won't just be here to nag and complain to me, right? "
"Of course not! I need to confirm the identities of a few people, you have to escort me! Some people really don't have a good temper!" Lu Xiaofeng smacked his lips and said, "There are two more people, please let me It seems a bit difficult, but they will be more than willing to invite you!"
"Who?" Han Wen blinked, quickly asked himself and answered, and gave two names: "Sikong Zhaixing, Huamanlou?"
"That's right! Needless to say, Huamanlou! He will not refuse any of your conditions, unless you want to sleep with his wife! Sikong Zhaixing... I guess you are the person he fears the most? If he dares not agree , Hehehe...!", Lu Xiaofeng complained.
"Okay!" Han Wen agreed cleanly.
On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, another piece of news came, the court was furious, and Lu Xiaofeng secretly lamented the bad luck!Because—similarly, this money is also a military expenditure!A preparation money!
But the difference - this one was shipped north!
One hundred and three shrewd and capable martial arts masters, as well as gold jewels worth 500 million taels, all mysteriously disappeared overnight!After this kind of thing happened once, it happened again. How could the court not be angry?
Moreover, the impact of this matter not only concerns the survival and disgrace of the largest security agency in the world - the Central Plains security agency, but there are at least [-] or [-] well-known people in the rivers and lakes, who are about to lose their families and reputations because of this!
The impact is so wide that it is worse than the last time the military expenditure was robbed!
What exactly happened that night?There is only one person in the world who knows this secret!Cui Cheng knows that he has become so important now, and he must feel that his life is not in vain.But he didn't know.He has been in a coma for three days.
These one hundred and three people are the elites of the Central Plains Escort, escorting the largest escort in the history of the Escort industry, perhaps, not, because not long ago, the Central Plains Escort escorted something worth 500 million taels of gold , but the same is lost!
Eager to restore the prestige of the Escort Bureau, the people of the Central Plains Escort Bureau pledged the lives of hundreds of people as guarantees, and also invited many friends from the Jianghu as guarantors, imploring the court to give them another chance, let them pay off their merits, but it is a pity... They passed through Taihang and left Tongguan, but suddenly disappeared in a small town under Taihang Mountain.
Cui Cheng is a member of the Central Plains Escort Bureau and the only survivor of this incident.
According to Xiong Tianjian, the leader of the search team that was formed urgently a day later, "We found him in a pothole in a local inn. At that time, he was unconscious, dying, and about to die!"
The famous doctor Ye Xingshi who accompanied the search team to Taihang also said: "He had six stab wounds on his body. Although he was unconscious due to excessive bleeding, fortunately the injuries were not critical. We just need to find a safe place for him to rest for three to five days. Make sure he regains consciousness."
Eagle Eye Seventh, another leader of the search team, also said: "Now he has been sent to an absolutely safe place to recuperate. Without the consent of all of us, not even a fly can fly in."
Xiong Tianjian is a hero of the Central Plains, a partner of the "Central Plains Escort", and the uncle of Situ Gang, the head of the "Qunying Escort". , chivalrous and upright, has always been very popular in the arena.
Ye Xingshi is the only lay disciple of Shaolin Master Tiejian, and one of the four famous doctors with a long-standing reputation in the Jianghu. His superb medical skills are recognized all over the world. Even the six schools of the imperial court often ask him for help. Both black and white have always respected him. he.
Eagle Eye Lao Qi is the head of the Twelve Links, the power of the Twelve Links is far beyond the Great Wall, and even black and white have his disciples. Among the forty bodyguards this time, at least There are five or six people who have passed posts under his door.
They were involved in this matter just because they were the guarantors of the Zhongyuan Escort Agency!The background of this escort trip is huge, especially because of what happened last time, two major cases in a row, less than two months apart...
This has even been heard in the sky, if they are not found, not only all the guarantors will inevitably be convicted, even the Taiping Palace who entrusted them with bodyguards will be involved.
Of course, all the guarantors are well-known figures in the arena. Almost all of the nine major gangs and seven major sects of the Central Plains martial arts have been implicated.
They found Cui Cheng the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is already the eighth day of May.
According to the leader of the Third Village of Twelve Links Wu, who is responsible for taking care of Cui Cheng, Cheng Village said: "He woke up once last night, drank half a bowl of ginseng soup, and had his hand relieved once. After we changed his medicine, , he just fell asleep."
According to Mrs. Xiao Hongzhu, Mrs. Ru, the eagle-eyed seventh son, "There is no trace of blood in the feces he defecated. He was able to ask for water this morning, and even looked at me and smiled."
Cheng Zhong and Xiao Hongzhu are the most trusted people of Hawkeye Laoqi, and only they can get close to Cui Cheng.Judging from Cui Cheng's injury, although it is not appropriate to be tired now, this matter is undoubtedly far more important than his injury. As long as he can speak, he must not wait any longer.
Therefore, all the people involved in this matter have now arrived at the general village of Twelve Links, and even the heir of King Taiping came with their guards.
It's just for one purpose - of course Cui Cheng must not die now!
What kind of place Twelve Links Pier is, almost no one in Jianghu has really understood it. It is not only a place, but also a huge organization.
The forces of this organization are widely distributed, and the members are very complicated. They have a share in both black and white, but they can all stick to one principle - "Do not harm the nature, do not take advantage of others, do not bully the old and weak, women and children, do not harm The poor, the sick and the widowed.”
That's probably the biggest reason they've survived to this day.
There are twelve villages in the Twelve Links, which look no different from ordinary mountain villages from the outside. In fact, their defenses are extremely strict and the organization is even stricter. Without their badges and passwords, it is difficult for anyone to enter their villages. mountains.
The place under the jurisdiction of the chief executive, the seventh Eagle Eye, is called "Eagle Eye", and all the actions and orders of the subordinates of Twelve Links are issued directly from "Eagle Eye".
At noon on Duanyang, Cui Cheng had already been sent to the secret room of "Eagle Eye". He had to go through five heavily guarded iron gates to enter this secret room. Only Cheng Zhong and Xiao Hongzhu could freely enter and exit.Now they are here to accompany Cui Cheng.
Cheng Zhong is mature and prudent, and has a little knowledge of medical skills. Xiao Hongzhu is gentle, intelligent, and meticulous. The walls of the secret room are all solid granite. The big iron lock, except for the two keys that Xiao Hongzhu and the eagle-eyed old seven kept close to each other, no one can open it.
Even the eldest son of King Taiping couldn't be dissatisfied with this kind of defense. He smiled and said to Hawkeye Lao Qi: "You are right, even a fly can't fly in this place."
But when they passed through the five iron gates and entered the secret room, they found that Cui Cheng was dead!Xiao Hongzhu and Cheng Zhong are also dead!There were no wounds or traces of blood on their bodies, but their bodies were cold and stiff.
According to Ye Xingshi's judgment:
"They have been dead for at least an hour and a half. They were killed by a sharp knife with a very thin blade. One knife is fatal!"
"Because the blade of the knife was too thin and the strike was too fast, there was no wound left."
"The fatal stab wound was undoubtedly at the lower end of the lung lobe. Once stabbed, the blood immediately poured into the chest cavity in large quantities, so no blood flowed out."
This knife is accurate and fast!
It can be seen that the murderer is not only very good at sharp knives, but also has a wealth of experience.
The people who guarded the secret room had followed Hawkeye Laoqi for more than ten years, and they were all his confidantes.They swore to the sky: "During these two hours, apart from Mrs. Xiao and Village Master Cheng, no third person has ever entered or left."
There are 36 people defending in this group. Of course, what the 36 people say will not be all lies.So how did the murderer get in?
Prince Taiping's son sneered, "According to what you say, unless he is an invisible person!"
noon.
The well-decorated hall is dull and hot, even the wind seems to have been condensed, and the scattered hair was immediately glued to the sweat. Although there was always a supply of wine, everyone still felt that their lips were chapped and their mouths were full of bitterness.
Eagle-eyed Seventh looked even more haggard, sad and tired.He was originally a vigorous and young-looking person, but at this moment, he seemed to have aged a lot. "How did the murderer get in? Of course there is no one in this world who can truly be invisible." He couldn't figure it out.No one can figure it out.
Everyone only knows one thing, if the 500 million taels of dart silver cannot be found, they will be responsible for compensation!That's enough to bankrupt each of them!Even if they go bankrupt, they may not be able to pay for it!With their status, of course they must not renege on their debts.
That's all for them, but there are hundreds of people in the Central Plains Escort Bureau, because two darts with a huge amount of 500 million taels of gold were lost in a row, and they may be wiped out by ransacking their homes!Heads are rolling to the ground!Blood flowed like a river!
Fortunately, the son of King Taiping is not an unreasonable person: "I think everyone understands this matter. I can arrange it for you. You have a 30-day deadline and let you recover these jewels. otherwise……"
He didn't go on, and there was no need to go on. Everyone knew the serious consequences.After saying this, he took his guards and left. No matter what, the 30-day deadline cannot be considered short... It's a pity that there is not even a clue about this matter.
Eagle-eyed old seven stood up and sat down, sat down and stood up again, Xiong Tianjian was covered with sweat, and had already soaked through three layers of clothes, some people only sweat from the nose, just watched the sweat drip from the tip of the nose Come.
These people are all martial arts magnates sitting in one side, usually commanding well, but now they are in chaos, and they can't think of any countermeasures at all.
Ye Xingshi suddenly said: "This is not the first time." Everyone couldn't fully understand the meaning of his words, so they had to wait for him to continue. Sure enough, he continued: "At the end of last month, flying on the Yangtze River. He died suddenly in the water while doing daily inspections, and I was once invited by the children of their gang to identify the cause of his death."
Xiong Tianjian immediately asked: "Is the cause of his death the same as Cui Cheng's?"
Ye Xingshi nodded, and said: "There is no wound or blood on his body at all. It took me three days to find out the knife wound under the lung lobe in his internal organs, and it was also fatal!"
Xiong Tianjian said: "He was stabbed in the water?"
Ye Xingshi said: "Not bad."
Xiong Tianjian's face was even more solemn. Flying on the water is known as the best in the world. The murderer was able to stab his vitals with a knife in the water. Of course, his underwater kung fu is more refined than him.He pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "I also remembered something."
The eldest son of Huainan martial arts family, known for his eagle claw power, Wang Yi hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiong Tianjian said: "At the beginning of this year, the old owner of Songyang's Iron Sword Villa died suddenly while practicing swordsmanship in his sword-hiding pavilion. No one knows the cause of his death yet." He let out a long breath and continued. Said: "It's only now that I think that he was probably assassinated by the same assassin!"
The sword technique of the Guo family in Songyang has always been a secret that is not passed on. The old master Guo never allowed outsiders to peep when he was practicing his sword.His hidden sword pavilion was also built like a copper wall and an iron wall, and it was difficult for anyone to get over it. What's more, his swordsmanship was extremely high, and when he used a family iron sword, no one could get close to him.
Ye Xingshi frowned and said, "He was really stabbed while practicing swordsmanship, the assassin's sword is too terrifying."
Eagle-eyed Seventh suddenly sneered and said, "Then we should just sit here and wait for him to come and kill us one by one!"
No one argued with him, no one would be in a good mood if his most beloved woman was assassinated.Hawkeye Lao Qi clenched his fists, veins on his forehead bulged one by one, and said loudly, "Even if this assassin really has three heads and six arms, and is really invisible, I will find him!"
How to find it?
After thorough deliberation, everyone finally decided on three countermeasures.Divide all the manpower into three batches and work separately.
The first group of people, led by Xiong Tianjian, went back to the small town at the foot of the Taihang Mountains to see if there were any clues left in the inn where the escorts stayed.It would be best to carefully check every house in the local area to see if any suspicious strangers had been there in the days before the accident.
They have listed all the martial arts masters who are good at wielding knives in the rivers and lakes, and the second group of people led by Ye Xingshi went to investigate separately.The most important thing is to ask them where are their people during the two hours from the early morning to the noon of Duanyang in May?
The third group of people, led by Wang Yi, went to various places to raise funds, and managed to collect 500 million taels.
These few things are obviously not easy, and everyone can't help but ask Eagle Eye Seventh—"Where are you going?"
Eagle-eyed Seventh replied: "I'll go find Lu Xiaofeng."
"That Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows?" Everyone knew Lu Xiaofeng's name, but they still couldn't help asking.
Hawkeye Old Seven nodded: "If there is anyone in the world who can find the murderer for us, it must be Lu Xiaofeng."
He said it very confidently, after the "ghost villa" incident a month ago, he had full confidence in Lu Xiaofeng's wit and ability.
But some people are still worried: "It is said that this man is a prodigal who wanders around the world and is at home all over the world. Where are you going to find him?"
"No need to look for it! I'm already here!";
The lazy voice came suddenly, but Hawkeye Lao Qi was overjoyed, but soon, his face twitched a few times, because behind the voice, there was still a person standing, dressed in black, as black as ink !
"You guys! Why are you here?" Eagle Eye Lao Qi cupped his hands, but he was very polite.
Lu Xiaofeng scratched his head and sighed: "Because I'm in trouble! The imperial court entrusted me with a big case in the northwest border, and this case... In short, the two cases are investigated together. If it is done well, the reward will be countless , I didn’t do well, I’m worse than you guys! I can’t keep this crested head!”
"This is what happens when you meddle in your own business!" Han Wen sneered and said, "What about now? You should have a charter, right?"
"I should have it! But I don't have it now!" Lu Xiaofeng spread his hands and said, "I originally planned to visit the Central Plains Security Bureau first, then go to the Beggar Gang to find Wang Shibao, and finally go to Bashan to find Taoist Gu... Now it seems that I have to straighten things out and see if there is anything in common between the two cases!"
"But I want to take you to a place!" Han Wen said slowly.
Lu Xiaofeng blinked: "Huh? Where? Could it be..."
Han Wen didn't say a word, so Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to chat with Eagle Eye Lao Qi, asked the whole story, and then hurriedly followed Han Wen - that place is called "Fox Den".
"Is this the nest of drums and embroidered shoes?" Looking at the busy port, Lu Xiaofeng still couldn't believe it.
Han Wen smiled and said: "No! But we must take the boat!"
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to go to sea, but he was afraid of seasickness, so he chose the largest and most stable sea boat, Han Wen didn't say anything, because he didn't get seasick, but this boat was loading.The owner of the boat who has received him 500 taels of silver is a standard old fox with a particularly good eloquence!
"The more cargo is loaded, the more stable the boat will be. Even if you have never been out at sea, you will never get seasick. Anyway, you are not in a hurry. What does it matter if you wait another day?" He said with his calloused hands , patted Lu Xiaofeng on the shoulder hard, "I can also introduce you to a good place, once you get there, maybe you don't want to leave."
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help asking: "What's there?"
The old fox winked at him: "As long as you can think of it, there is it."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "Did you own that place?"
The old fox also laughed, and laughed loudly: "You are a smart person, so I started to like you the first time I saw you."
Of course he owned the place, hence the name "Fox Den".
In people's minds, foxes are always the most clever and cunning animals, and they are very selfish, so they nest.At least it should be more comfortable than other animals' dens.
This is actually true.People who have been floating on the sea all year round, as long as they mention the three words "fox den", they will have a mysterious and happy smile on their faces, and they will feel hot in their hearts, just like drinking a glass of strong wine.
As long as men can think of things, they can be found in the fox den.What men think is usually not a good thing.
There are more than 20 houses made of wooden boards. The four larger bungalows in the front are considered as the front hall. Although the houses are dilapidated, everyone doesn't care.People who come here do not come to see the house.
The warm, humid sea breeze was blowing from the ocean outside the window, with a pleasant salty smell, like old daddy's sweat.
The room is full of smoke, the scent of shaving oil on the woman's head, mixed with the smell of grilled fish, is enough to arouse all kinds of desires/desires of men.Everyone gambles fiercely with money, drinks fiercely, and looks like a hungry tiger when it comes to finding women.
Only one person is the exception.
He was still very young, and his dark and handsome face was somewhat arrogant and wild, his eyes were black and blue, and his thin lips looked strong and cruel.
At first the women were interested in him, and then it was immediately apparent that he looked like a feisty leopard, but was actually as cold as a block of ice.
As soon as Lu Xiaofeng walked in, he saw him, he was peeling the shell of an egg.He ate only hard-boiled eggs in the shell and drank pure white water.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't blame him, they came from the same road, Lu Xiaofeng saw with his own eyes, in just one hour, he almost died three times.If he hadn't reacted so fast, he would have died three times now, so he certainly had to be extra careful.
A very young girl with a tall chest and a thin waist was walking over with a plate of beef, her eyes were full of enthusiasm, and she said softly, "It's rare to have beef here, you can eat a little."
He didn't look at her at all, just shook his head.
She still refused to give up: "I give this to you. It doesn't cost you anything, and you can't eat it even if you don't."
It seemed that although she was young, she had a lot of experience with men, and suddenly a very professional smile appeared on her face, and with two not-so-ugly fingers, she picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.
Lu Xiaofeng knew it was going to be bad, and it really wouldn't work to deal with this young man in the same way he used to deal with other men.Just when he started to think this way, the whole plate of beef covered her face.
The beef was still hot, and the soup dripped on her towering breasts, like a volcano smoking.
People in the room laughed, some people yelled, but the girl was already crying.The boy still sat there coldly, without even looking at her.
The two strong men with water rust on their faces, obviously coming to fight the injustice, rushed over with a three-pointed drunkenness.
Lu Xiaofeng knew it was going to be bad again.Just when he started to think this way, two big men like walruses flew up, one flew out of the window before falling heavily, and the other was about to fall on Lu Xiaofeng's desk.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't reach out, because Han Wen had already returned, it seemed like he had lost his bet, Lu Xiaofeng only knew that Han Wen always hated such things, especially now that he was in a bad mood!
With a scream, no one could even see clearly what happened. The big man had already flown more than 30 zhang along the window!
What a terrifying palm force!
Han Wen sat down, squinted his eyes, and warned: "Lu Xiaofeng! Sometimes, don't be too curious! If you are as good as Long Yang, I can catch this boy back for you! ... Staring at people is a mistake. Very rude behavior!"
Korean, known as the most impolite in the world, actually asks others to be polite?Yes!He himself can not be polite, it is because he has strength, but others, no!
Lu Xiaofeng could only smile wryly, and said: "Hey! Don't talk about those things! It's not that you don't know me, I'm just a little curious!"
(End of this chapter)
This small town is really poor, Lu Xiaofeng has traveled all over the world, and he has never seen a more poor and barren place than this place.He really couldn't imagine a person like Liu Chengfeng, why would he come to this kind of place?
He couldn't even understand what would happen in a place like this that would make Liu Chengfeng travel thousands of miles away, and it would be something that would make Liu Chengfeng feel that his life and death were in danger.
An unknown town and a world-renowned swordsman, it was impossible to connect with each other.
But now, he understood that it turned out that Liu Chengfeng was there for the preparation money worth 500 million taels of gold!
This was already strange, but what was even more strange was that Liu Chengfeng died!Not only Liu Chengfeng died!Many more died!
"Xiaoxiang Swordsman" Wei Ziyun patted his shoulder and said: "My condolences!"
Lu Xiaofeng's expression was calm, calm to the point of fear, he held a piece of silk cloth in his powerful hands, and almost crushed the silk cloth into pieces!
After being silent for a long time, Lu Xiaofeng said: "The smell here is too bad... Let people move all the corpses out! Wait!"
Suddenly Lu Xiaofeng found some white powder on the ground, he cautiously did not touch it with his hands, but picked up a short blade that fell on the ground, slowly scraped some up, and then gently sniffed After a while, for a long time, he said, "Scorpion powder?"
Walking out of this hellish place of Shura, Lu Xiaofeng sat on the scorched ground, spread out the piece of silk cloth in his hand, on it was blood-colored writing - mind yourself, don't meddle in your own business !
The handwriting is strong and powerful, and the edge of the pen almost penetrates the entire piece of silk cloth. It is conceivable that the person who wrote these handwritings is a person with high martial arts skills and is good at using swords. Maybe... he is a man!Only a man's handwriting can be so strong and powerful.
Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Wei, what's your judgment?"
"Central Plains Escort Chief Escort Baili Changqing... Central Plains Escort Chief Escort Jin Peng... Bashan Sword Sect Gu Daoren...'Three-Handed Immortal' Xu Sha...'One Sword Rides the Wind' Liu Chengfeng! A total of 13 people died! At least half of them are famous people, and the rest may not be famous, but their martial arts must be very high!", Wei Ziyun said slowly.
Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said: "Based on my years of experience in handling cases, these people...except Liu Chengfeng, the rest were all killed on the same day, and - maybe they were killed together." dead!"
"What? My God! Who can have this ability?" Wei Ziyun almost jumped up from the ground, and for a long time, he looked at Lu Xiaofeng with some doubts, and said, "Why do you have such a judgment? Together killed..."
"Liu Chengfeng's head showed signs of rot, but the others didn't show any signs of rot. As for why their heads didn't rot, it was because of scorpion powder... and this kind of thing is only used by Bashan Sword Sect members. , Old Gu Bashan is also one of these dead..."
Lu Xiaofeng said slowly: "I've seen countless dead people, and I've also learned how to do it. You don't have to doubt that I can judge the time of a person's death. Now, what we want to think about is——who can kill them at the same time? Kill! Moreover, these people were definitely killed by people! Not poisoned!"
Wei Ziyun also believed this, because there were traces of fighting in this secret room. Although the bodies of these people were burnt, their heads were still there, and they all had terrified expressions. color……
"There are not many people who can do this in Jianghu! They died at least a month and a half ago..." Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "Taoist Mu can do it, maybe Ximen Chuuxue can do it, but... Most likely in Korean!"
"Mu Taoist is dead now! He was alive a month and a half ago... but are there only three of them?" Wei Ziyun couldn't help asking: "The Jade Rakshasa of the Western Demon Sect, the second elder of Shangshan, the master of Shaolin Temple... Maybe, The other party is not alone?"
"Um?";
Lu Xiaofeng blinked his eyes, as if he was too persistent to kill so many people by himself!He smiled awkwardly and said, "You're right! There are so many masters, even in Korean, it will be very difficult, right? Then! Let's find someone first! Let's find out the identities of these people first! "
Riding a horse, looking at the scorched earth of Huangshi Town, "Xiaoxiang Swordsman" Wei Ziyun said, "Do you know that there is a legend circulating in this town?"
"Oh? Let's hear it!" Lu Xiaofeng was always very curious and couldn't help asking;
Therefore, Wei Ziyun eloquently said that somewhere near here, there is a huge treasure buried.There is nothing in this treasure, only gold, the amount of gold cannot even be estimated.
It is a pity that no one can find it, and no one can see the gold, only the yellow sand that is always rolling and flowing in the wind.
Gold is everyone's dream, but the boundless yellow sand is like a nightmare.The dream of gold is extinguished, and the gold seekers are gone.Between coming and going, the town gradually sank, and it has been desolate until now, and there are very few strange travelers coming.
The story is short, but it tells Lu Xiaofeng that many people have been here before, and many people have passed by...
He thought about it, and felt that he seemed to have missed something, but he couldn't think of it for a while, because he was very busy, and he wanted to prove the identities of these heads!
On the seventh day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, in the capital, Han Wen drank wine in silence. Beside him was Gongsun Lan. Gongsun Lan frowned and asked, "Why didn't you hide all those things? Why didn't you kill them?" Lu Xiaofeng?"
Han Wen pursed his lips and said, "It's nothing! I just want to compete with Lu Xiaofeng! With 500 million taels of gold as a bet, maybe... still have this life! The parents of Gong Susu and Gong Ping How is the girl's arrangement?"
"What else? The 'red shoes' have all been transferred now! But won't it arouse suspicion?" Gongsun Lan glanced at Han Wen, no longer entangled with the previous things, but talked about Gong Ping and Gong Susu, the mother and daughter, said, "What if Lu Xiaofeng finds them?"
"Separate them and threaten them with each other, so they won't dare to move! It's very simple! As long as they are honest for a month, I will let them go, it's that simple! I guess Lu Xiaofeng will come to me for help, you... You can withdraw now! Wait for me!" Han Wen raised his head and said.
Gongsun Lan bit her lip, and slowly retreated from the room, disappearing into the darkness in the corner of the room. She is a perverse woman, but at the same time, as long as she is conquered, she is also a very well-behaved and docile woman. Of course, this only works with her man.
Sure enough, as expected by Han Wen, Lu Xiaofeng came, and he listed Han Wen in the list of suspects, but he had to ask Han Wen to do something, because he needed an expert escort, and also needed Han Wen to help invite two people!
"You are still so leisurely!", Lu Xiaofeng looked tired and looked ugly, snatched the Hanwen wine pot and drank it. After a long time, he let out a long breath and said, "I'm here to beg You do the work!"
Han Wen slowly stretched out three fingers, which means that he agreed, but it also means that Lu Xiaofeng already owes him three favors: "I know! People from the government are frequently transferred, it is said that it is because of certain things... and, They also asked me about your whereabouts, it seems that you have gotten into trouble again?"
"Okay! Have you heard of the chief and second chiefs of the Central Plains Escort Bureau?" Lu Xiaofeng asked with a sigh.
Han Wen nodded, and said: "I have heard a little bit! It is said that the Central Plains Escort Agency is known as the second in the world, but no one dares to claim to be the number one. Even Baili Changqing himself doesn't know that there are many semicolons under his banner. I haven’t been a dart for a few years, and I have always left it to Jin Peng, the second in charge, to drink and enjoy myself with peace of mind! They can be regarded as two masters, but they are not in my eyes!”
"Old Gu Bashan, have you heard of Liu Chengfeng who rides the wind with one sword?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.
Han Wen also nodded, and said: "Thunderlike! These two are also the opponents I have been looking forward to, especially Liu Chengfeng. It is said that he is the first direct disciple of 'Bashan Lao Gu', and his 'Qiqi 49 hand Huifeng Wuliujian' is also quite famous in Jianghu, at least Bashan Xiaogu may not be his opponent, I am looking forward to a match with him!"
"Have you ever heard of the three-hand fairy Xu Sha, the big drum, and the embroidered shoes?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.
Han Wen nodded and shook his head again, and said, "Dagu, this fat man is said to have been a thin man in the past, and his qinggong is unpredictable, not inferior to Sikong Zhaixing, embroidered shoes... This woman is a woman who is very good at making money, as if this Both of them are new super killers in the Jianghu. I'm not sure where they came from, but I know some. As for Xu Sha, I haven't heard of it! What do you ask these people to do?"
"The three-handed fairy used to be the three-handed fairy! 30 years ago, even if she wasn't the most beautiful woman in the world, she could still be ranked in the top three... Speaking of this, I just want to tell you, dead! These people, all dead And died in a place where birds don't shit and fish don't lay eggs!", Lu Xiaofeng said a little irritable.
"Oh? It's interesting! It seems that you have caused a lot of trouble this time!", Han Wen smiled and said, "Tell me! What do you want me to do? If there are some trivial matters, then I will spare you! I I'm not very interested, they're dead, it's none of my business?"
"Okay! These people were all killed by someone! It may be one person, or several people, but no matter who it is, it is... a master! I think you will be interested!";
Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his brows, and said: "The imperial court has lost 500 million taels of gold military expenses! Please let me investigate the case. If the investigation is completed, I will be safe and sound, and there will still be a lot of money to be rewarded. If the investigation is not good It's over, the head is on the ground!"
"Military expenses? What is that? This is what you want to check?" Han Wen frowned, as if he really didn't know.
"That's right! Thirty-five million taels of gold is the current imperial court's war preparations. Because there is a rumor that there is a rebellion in the south, the gold is transported down and used for war." Lu Xiaofeng sighed;
"Why not transport it directly with the army?" Han Wen asked again;
"I'm afraid of attracting attention, because of the rebellion in the south, I don't know if there will be a rebellion. If the news about the gold shipment leaks, it will change immediately, and I will not be able to prepare for it—so I entrust the Central Plains Escort Bureau to escort it! And now, their head of the Escort Baili Changqing and the deputy head of the escort, Jin Peng, are all dead!" Lu Xiaofeng said;
"Then what? Does this have anything to do with those killers, Daoist Gu, and Liu Chengfeng?" Han Wen said.
Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his brows, and said: "I don't know about others, but I know that the military department of the imperial court had approached Liu Chengfeng before and asked him to formulate the escort route within a month! At that time, in order to deceive people, there were not many escorts!"
"Who is there?" Han Wen asked;
"Chief Escort Chief Baili Changqing, Deputy Chief Escort Jin Peng, Emei Heroine Situ Feng, Situ Huang, Situ Ying, Situ Yan, Qingcheng Jianxuan Daozi! Perhaps, if Liu Chengfeng survives, he will be added! ";
Lu Xiaofeng said slowly: "But they were killed in Huangshi Town, a small town in the northwest border, no! It should be said that apart from Baili Changqing, Jinpeng and Liu Chengfeng from the Central Plains Escort, the others are gone!"
Han Wen: "Why? Why did these people disappear? Also, you said that they transported the war preparation funds to the south. How did you get involved in the northwest?"
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, and said, "Because I want to deceive people! It's that simple!"
Han Wen pretended to think about it for a long time, and said: "I can only tell you that 500 million taels of gold is not a small amount. If you want to transport it away or intercept it, you need not one or two people, it should be a gang commit crimes, and in the Northwest, there is only one person with the strongest ability, or one force!"
"oh?";
Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows with interest, but Han Wen looked at her as if she were an idiot. He couldn't ask, so he thought for a long time and said, "Western Demon Cult?"
"Maybe! Who knows! I want to compete with that Jade Raksha leader!" Han Wen smiled and said, "What are you going to do next? You won't just be here to nag and complain to me, right? "
"Of course not! I need to confirm the identities of a few people, you have to escort me! Some people really don't have a good temper!" Lu Xiaofeng smacked his lips and said, "There are two more people, please let me It seems a bit difficult, but they will be more than willing to invite you!"
"Who?" Han Wen blinked, quickly asked himself and answered, and gave two names: "Sikong Zhaixing, Huamanlou?"
"That's right! Needless to say, Huamanlou! He will not refuse any of your conditions, unless you want to sleep with his wife! Sikong Zhaixing... I guess you are the person he fears the most? If he dares not agree , Hehehe...!", Lu Xiaofeng complained.
"Okay!" Han Wen agreed cleanly.
On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, another piece of news came, the court was furious, and Lu Xiaofeng secretly lamented the bad luck!Because—similarly, this money is also a military expenditure!A preparation money!
But the difference - this one was shipped north!
One hundred and three shrewd and capable martial arts masters, as well as gold jewels worth 500 million taels, all mysteriously disappeared overnight!After this kind of thing happened once, it happened again. How could the court not be angry?
Moreover, the impact of this matter not only concerns the survival and disgrace of the largest security agency in the world - the Central Plains security agency, but there are at least [-] or [-] well-known people in the rivers and lakes, who are about to lose their families and reputations because of this!
The impact is so wide that it is worse than the last time the military expenditure was robbed!
What exactly happened that night?There is only one person in the world who knows this secret!Cui Cheng knows that he has become so important now, and he must feel that his life is not in vain.But he didn't know.He has been in a coma for three days.
These one hundred and three people are the elites of the Central Plains Escort, escorting the largest escort in the history of the Escort industry, perhaps, not, because not long ago, the Central Plains Escort escorted something worth 500 million taels of gold , but the same is lost!
Eager to restore the prestige of the Escort Bureau, the people of the Central Plains Escort Bureau pledged the lives of hundreds of people as guarantees, and also invited many friends from the Jianghu as guarantors, imploring the court to give them another chance, let them pay off their merits, but it is a pity... They passed through Taihang and left Tongguan, but suddenly disappeared in a small town under Taihang Mountain.
Cui Cheng is a member of the Central Plains Escort Bureau and the only survivor of this incident.
According to Xiong Tianjian, the leader of the search team that was formed urgently a day later, "We found him in a pothole in a local inn. At that time, he was unconscious, dying, and about to die!"
The famous doctor Ye Xingshi who accompanied the search team to Taihang also said: "He had six stab wounds on his body. Although he was unconscious due to excessive bleeding, fortunately the injuries were not critical. We just need to find a safe place for him to rest for three to five days. Make sure he regains consciousness."
Eagle Eye Seventh, another leader of the search team, also said: "Now he has been sent to an absolutely safe place to recuperate. Without the consent of all of us, not even a fly can fly in."
Xiong Tianjian is a hero of the Central Plains, a partner of the "Central Plains Escort", and the uncle of Situ Gang, the head of the "Qunying Escort". , chivalrous and upright, has always been very popular in the arena.
Ye Xingshi is the only lay disciple of Shaolin Master Tiejian, and one of the four famous doctors with a long-standing reputation in the Jianghu. His superb medical skills are recognized all over the world. Even the six schools of the imperial court often ask him for help. Both black and white have always respected him. he.
Eagle Eye Lao Qi is the head of the Twelve Links, the power of the Twelve Links is far beyond the Great Wall, and even black and white have his disciples. Among the forty bodyguards this time, at least There are five or six people who have passed posts under his door.
They were involved in this matter just because they were the guarantors of the Zhongyuan Escort Agency!The background of this escort trip is huge, especially because of what happened last time, two major cases in a row, less than two months apart...
This has even been heard in the sky, if they are not found, not only all the guarantors will inevitably be convicted, even the Taiping Palace who entrusted them with bodyguards will be involved.
Of course, all the guarantors are well-known figures in the arena. Almost all of the nine major gangs and seven major sects of the Central Plains martial arts have been implicated.
They found Cui Cheng the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is already the eighth day of May.
According to the leader of the Third Village of Twelve Links Wu, who is responsible for taking care of Cui Cheng, Cheng Village said: "He woke up once last night, drank half a bowl of ginseng soup, and had his hand relieved once. After we changed his medicine, , he just fell asleep."
According to Mrs. Xiao Hongzhu, Mrs. Ru, the eagle-eyed seventh son, "There is no trace of blood in the feces he defecated. He was able to ask for water this morning, and even looked at me and smiled."
Cheng Zhong and Xiao Hongzhu are the most trusted people of Hawkeye Laoqi, and only they can get close to Cui Cheng.Judging from Cui Cheng's injury, although it is not appropriate to be tired now, this matter is undoubtedly far more important than his injury. As long as he can speak, he must not wait any longer.
Therefore, all the people involved in this matter have now arrived at the general village of Twelve Links, and even the heir of King Taiping came with their guards.
It's just for one purpose - of course Cui Cheng must not die now!
What kind of place Twelve Links Pier is, almost no one in Jianghu has really understood it. It is not only a place, but also a huge organization.
The forces of this organization are widely distributed, and the members are very complicated. They have a share in both black and white, but they can all stick to one principle - "Do not harm the nature, do not take advantage of others, do not bully the old and weak, women and children, do not harm The poor, the sick and the widowed.”
That's probably the biggest reason they've survived to this day.
There are twelve villages in the Twelve Links, which look no different from ordinary mountain villages from the outside. In fact, their defenses are extremely strict and the organization is even stricter. Without their badges and passwords, it is difficult for anyone to enter their villages. mountains.
The place under the jurisdiction of the chief executive, the seventh Eagle Eye, is called "Eagle Eye", and all the actions and orders of the subordinates of Twelve Links are issued directly from "Eagle Eye".
At noon on Duanyang, Cui Cheng had already been sent to the secret room of "Eagle Eye". He had to go through five heavily guarded iron gates to enter this secret room. Only Cheng Zhong and Xiao Hongzhu could freely enter and exit.Now they are here to accompany Cui Cheng.
Cheng Zhong is mature and prudent, and has a little knowledge of medical skills. Xiao Hongzhu is gentle, intelligent, and meticulous. The walls of the secret room are all solid granite. The big iron lock, except for the two keys that Xiao Hongzhu and the eagle-eyed old seven kept close to each other, no one can open it.
Even the eldest son of King Taiping couldn't be dissatisfied with this kind of defense. He smiled and said to Hawkeye Lao Qi: "You are right, even a fly can't fly in this place."
But when they passed through the five iron gates and entered the secret room, they found that Cui Cheng was dead!Xiao Hongzhu and Cheng Zhong are also dead!There were no wounds or traces of blood on their bodies, but their bodies were cold and stiff.
According to Ye Xingshi's judgment:
"They have been dead for at least an hour and a half. They were killed by a sharp knife with a very thin blade. One knife is fatal!"
"Because the blade of the knife was too thin and the strike was too fast, there was no wound left."
"The fatal stab wound was undoubtedly at the lower end of the lung lobe. Once stabbed, the blood immediately poured into the chest cavity in large quantities, so no blood flowed out."
This knife is accurate and fast!
It can be seen that the murderer is not only very good at sharp knives, but also has a wealth of experience.
The people who guarded the secret room had followed Hawkeye Laoqi for more than ten years, and they were all his confidantes.They swore to the sky: "During these two hours, apart from Mrs. Xiao and Village Master Cheng, no third person has ever entered or left."
There are 36 people defending in this group. Of course, what the 36 people say will not be all lies.So how did the murderer get in?
Prince Taiping's son sneered, "According to what you say, unless he is an invisible person!"
noon.
The well-decorated hall is dull and hot, even the wind seems to have been condensed, and the scattered hair was immediately glued to the sweat. Although there was always a supply of wine, everyone still felt that their lips were chapped and their mouths were full of bitterness.
Eagle-eyed Seventh looked even more haggard, sad and tired.He was originally a vigorous and young-looking person, but at this moment, he seemed to have aged a lot. "How did the murderer get in? Of course there is no one in this world who can truly be invisible." He couldn't figure it out.No one can figure it out.
Everyone only knows one thing, if the 500 million taels of dart silver cannot be found, they will be responsible for compensation!That's enough to bankrupt each of them!Even if they go bankrupt, they may not be able to pay for it!With their status, of course they must not renege on their debts.
That's all for them, but there are hundreds of people in the Central Plains Escort Bureau, because two darts with a huge amount of 500 million taels of gold were lost in a row, and they may be wiped out by ransacking their homes!Heads are rolling to the ground!Blood flowed like a river!
Fortunately, the son of King Taiping is not an unreasonable person: "I think everyone understands this matter. I can arrange it for you. You have a 30-day deadline and let you recover these jewels. otherwise……"
He didn't go on, and there was no need to go on. Everyone knew the serious consequences.After saying this, he took his guards and left. No matter what, the 30-day deadline cannot be considered short... It's a pity that there is not even a clue about this matter.
Eagle-eyed old seven stood up and sat down, sat down and stood up again, Xiong Tianjian was covered with sweat, and had already soaked through three layers of clothes, some people only sweat from the nose, just watched the sweat drip from the tip of the nose Come.
These people are all martial arts magnates sitting in one side, usually commanding well, but now they are in chaos, and they can't think of any countermeasures at all.
Ye Xingshi suddenly said: "This is not the first time." Everyone couldn't fully understand the meaning of his words, so they had to wait for him to continue. Sure enough, he continued: "At the end of last month, flying on the Yangtze River. He died suddenly in the water while doing daily inspections, and I was once invited by the children of their gang to identify the cause of his death."
Xiong Tianjian immediately asked: "Is the cause of his death the same as Cui Cheng's?"
Ye Xingshi nodded, and said: "There is no wound or blood on his body at all. It took me three days to find out the knife wound under the lung lobe in his internal organs, and it was also fatal!"
Xiong Tianjian said: "He was stabbed in the water?"
Ye Xingshi said: "Not bad."
Xiong Tianjian's face was even more solemn. Flying on the water is known as the best in the world. The murderer was able to stab his vitals with a knife in the water. Of course, his underwater kung fu is more refined than him.He pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "I also remembered something."
The eldest son of Huainan martial arts family, known for his eagle claw power, Wang Yi hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiong Tianjian said: "At the beginning of this year, the old owner of Songyang's Iron Sword Villa died suddenly while practicing swordsmanship in his sword-hiding pavilion. No one knows the cause of his death yet." He let out a long breath and continued. Said: "It's only now that I think that he was probably assassinated by the same assassin!"
The sword technique of the Guo family in Songyang has always been a secret that is not passed on. The old master Guo never allowed outsiders to peep when he was practicing his sword.His hidden sword pavilion was also built like a copper wall and an iron wall, and it was difficult for anyone to get over it. What's more, his swordsmanship was extremely high, and when he used a family iron sword, no one could get close to him.
Ye Xingshi frowned and said, "He was really stabbed while practicing swordsmanship, the assassin's sword is too terrifying."
Eagle-eyed Seventh suddenly sneered and said, "Then we should just sit here and wait for him to come and kill us one by one!"
No one argued with him, no one would be in a good mood if his most beloved woman was assassinated.Hawkeye Lao Qi clenched his fists, veins on his forehead bulged one by one, and said loudly, "Even if this assassin really has three heads and six arms, and is really invisible, I will find him!"
How to find it?
After thorough deliberation, everyone finally decided on three countermeasures.Divide all the manpower into three batches and work separately.
The first group of people, led by Xiong Tianjian, went back to the small town at the foot of the Taihang Mountains to see if there were any clues left in the inn where the escorts stayed.It would be best to carefully check every house in the local area to see if any suspicious strangers had been there in the days before the accident.
They have listed all the martial arts masters who are good at wielding knives in the rivers and lakes, and the second group of people led by Ye Xingshi went to investigate separately.The most important thing is to ask them where are their people during the two hours from the early morning to the noon of Duanyang in May?
The third group of people, led by Wang Yi, went to various places to raise funds, and managed to collect 500 million taels.
These few things are obviously not easy, and everyone can't help but ask Eagle Eye Seventh—"Where are you going?"
Eagle-eyed Seventh replied: "I'll go find Lu Xiaofeng."
"That Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows?" Everyone knew Lu Xiaofeng's name, but they still couldn't help asking.
Hawkeye Old Seven nodded: "If there is anyone in the world who can find the murderer for us, it must be Lu Xiaofeng."
He said it very confidently, after the "ghost villa" incident a month ago, he had full confidence in Lu Xiaofeng's wit and ability.
But some people are still worried: "It is said that this man is a prodigal who wanders around the world and is at home all over the world. Where are you going to find him?"
"No need to look for it! I'm already here!";
The lazy voice came suddenly, but Hawkeye Lao Qi was overjoyed, but soon, his face twitched a few times, because behind the voice, there was still a person standing, dressed in black, as black as ink !
"You guys! Why are you here?" Eagle Eye Lao Qi cupped his hands, but he was very polite.
Lu Xiaofeng scratched his head and sighed: "Because I'm in trouble! The imperial court entrusted me with a big case in the northwest border, and this case... In short, the two cases are investigated together. If it is done well, the reward will be countless , I didn’t do well, I’m worse than you guys! I can’t keep this crested head!”
"This is what happens when you meddle in your own business!" Han Wen sneered and said, "What about now? You should have a charter, right?"
"I should have it! But I don't have it now!" Lu Xiaofeng spread his hands and said, "I originally planned to visit the Central Plains Security Bureau first, then go to the Beggar Gang to find Wang Shibao, and finally go to Bashan to find Taoist Gu... Now it seems that I have to straighten things out and see if there is anything in common between the two cases!"
"But I want to take you to a place!" Han Wen said slowly.
Lu Xiaofeng blinked: "Huh? Where? Could it be..."
Han Wen didn't say a word, so Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to chat with Eagle Eye Lao Qi, asked the whole story, and then hurriedly followed Han Wen - that place is called "Fox Den".
"Is this the nest of drums and embroidered shoes?" Looking at the busy port, Lu Xiaofeng still couldn't believe it.
Han Wen smiled and said: "No! But we must take the boat!"
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to go to sea, but he was afraid of seasickness, so he chose the largest and most stable sea boat, Han Wen didn't say anything, because he didn't get seasick, but this boat was loading.The owner of the boat who has received him 500 taels of silver is a standard old fox with a particularly good eloquence!
"The more cargo is loaded, the more stable the boat will be. Even if you have never been out at sea, you will never get seasick. Anyway, you are not in a hurry. What does it matter if you wait another day?" He said with his calloused hands , patted Lu Xiaofeng on the shoulder hard, "I can also introduce you to a good place, once you get there, maybe you don't want to leave."
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help asking: "What's there?"
The old fox winked at him: "As long as you can think of it, there is it."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "Did you own that place?"
The old fox also laughed, and laughed loudly: "You are a smart person, so I started to like you the first time I saw you."
Of course he owned the place, hence the name "Fox Den".
In people's minds, foxes are always the most clever and cunning animals, and they are very selfish, so they nest.At least it should be more comfortable than other animals' dens.
This is actually true.People who have been floating on the sea all year round, as long as they mention the three words "fox den", they will have a mysterious and happy smile on their faces, and they will feel hot in their hearts, just like drinking a glass of strong wine.
As long as men can think of things, they can be found in the fox den.What men think is usually not a good thing.
There are more than 20 houses made of wooden boards. The four larger bungalows in the front are considered as the front hall. Although the houses are dilapidated, everyone doesn't care.People who come here do not come to see the house.
The warm, humid sea breeze was blowing from the ocean outside the window, with a pleasant salty smell, like old daddy's sweat.
The room is full of smoke, the scent of shaving oil on the woman's head, mixed with the smell of grilled fish, is enough to arouse all kinds of desires/desires of men.Everyone gambles fiercely with money, drinks fiercely, and looks like a hungry tiger when it comes to finding women.
Only one person is the exception.
He was still very young, and his dark and handsome face was somewhat arrogant and wild, his eyes were black and blue, and his thin lips looked strong and cruel.
At first the women were interested in him, and then it was immediately apparent that he looked like a feisty leopard, but was actually as cold as a block of ice.
As soon as Lu Xiaofeng walked in, he saw him, he was peeling the shell of an egg.He ate only hard-boiled eggs in the shell and drank pure white water.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't blame him, they came from the same road, Lu Xiaofeng saw with his own eyes, in just one hour, he almost died three times.If he hadn't reacted so fast, he would have died three times now, so he certainly had to be extra careful.
A very young girl with a tall chest and a thin waist was walking over with a plate of beef, her eyes were full of enthusiasm, and she said softly, "It's rare to have beef here, you can eat a little."
He didn't look at her at all, just shook his head.
She still refused to give up: "I give this to you. It doesn't cost you anything, and you can't eat it even if you don't."
It seemed that although she was young, she had a lot of experience with men, and suddenly a very professional smile appeared on her face, and with two not-so-ugly fingers, she picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.
Lu Xiaofeng knew it was going to be bad, and it really wouldn't work to deal with this young man in the same way he used to deal with other men.Just when he started to think this way, the whole plate of beef covered her face.
The beef was still hot, and the soup dripped on her towering breasts, like a volcano smoking.
People in the room laughed, some people yelled, but the girl was already crying.The boy still sat there coldly, without even looking at her.
The two strong men with water rust on their faces, obviously coming to fight the injustice, rushed over with a three-pointed drunkenness.
Lu Xiaofeng knew it was going to be bad again.Just when he started to think this way, two big men like walruses flew up, one flew out of the window before falling heavily, and the other was about to fall on Lu Xiaofeng's desk.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't reach out, because Han Wen had already returned, it seemed like he had lost his bet, Lu Xiaofeng only knew that Han Wen always hated such things, especially now that he was in a bad mood!
With a scream, no one could even see clearly what happened. The big man had already flown more than 30 zhang along the window!
What a terrifying palm force!
Han Wen sat down, squinted his eyes, and warned: "Lu Xiaofeng! Sometimes, don't be too curious! If you are as good as Long Yang, I can catch this boy back for you! ... Staring at people is a mistake. Very rude behavior!"
Korean, known as the most impolite in the world, actually asks others to be polite?Yes!He himself can not be polite, it is because he has strength, but others, no!
Lu Xiaofeng could only smile wryly, and said: "Hey! Don't talk about those things! It's not that you don't know me, I'm just a little curious!"
