The Mystery of Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 41

Fang Hen Shao had an association with bandits?
Chang Yun looked at Ji Hai calmly: "Tell me?"

"Today, I followed Fang Henshao. He first wandered around Jicheng for a while, and then he left the city through the north gate, and had a secret meeting with the two of them in a land temple at Linjiapu in the north of the city."

Ji Hai followed Chang Yun's instructions to follow Fang Hen Shao, and the scholar naturally couldn't find out. After thinking it was safe, he went straight to the Earth Temple to have a secret meeting with people, but he didn't know that Ji Hai was already lying on the roof and listened to their conversation A clean sheet.

Fang Hen Shao was not polite, and asked directly: "Where is my brother now?"

"Brother, our leader is in Jicheng right now. The leader has something to do tonight. After finishing the work, you can go back to Yanshan Mountain Village with us tomorrow." The person who answered was obviously Fang Hen Shao's subordinate.

Fang Hen pondered for a while, and said: "I can't go to your cottage right now. If I want to get my son back, I still need to rely on Mr. Chang's power. You tell my brother, I will look for it when the matter has a clue. he."

The subordinates obviously also knew what happened to Fang Henshao, and sighed: "The leader said, after tonight's vote is finished, some important people in Yunzhou will agree to help find the young master, so you don't need to worry."

Fang Hen Shao ignored it, and asked again: "What are you doing in Jicheng?"

"The leader didn't explain, so I don't know."

Without saying a few words, Fang Henshao hurriedly bid farewell to the visitor and left the Earth Temple. Ji Hai took a step ahead of him and came back to report to Chang Yun.

Chang Yun bowed his head and thought for a long time. Fang Henshao's identity became a mystery. He came to Yunzhou this time to investigate the case. At this time, there was a person of unknown origin by his side. Is it an enemy or a friend?

But the fact that the scholar's family was ruined is true, and Ji Hai also confirmed the authenticity of the matter through the Anding county government. If it was just to get close to Chang Yun, the price would be too high, and the most important point,
Fang Hen rarely knew martial arts.

"Forget it, leave him alone for now, Jitou, and pay close attention to Scholar Fang recently." Unable to figure out why, Chang Yun simply let him go, let's take a step and watch one.

The conversation between Chang Yun's master and servant did not hide the common monk's back, and the common monk didn't take it seriously. After a long time of contact, he found that these two Yuan Pavilion people were not as scary as the legends said, but full of true temperament.

"Monk, when something happens in Yunzhou, follow me around and see if I can find some experts from other worlds to help you."

The monk felt warm, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you Mr. Chang. If things turn around, the monk will definitely repay you."

Chang Yun laughed, and said seriously: "Monk, you're showing signs again."

In a word, the monk fell into deep thought in a daze on the spot, and Chang Yun didn't bother him, and left with Ji Hai.

When he entered the room, he saw Wei Ningzhu laying on the window and staring at him obsessively. Chang Yun thought of what happened last night and regretted it again. When he looked up again, the beautiful woman had already closed the window.

I don't understand the style.

At night, Ji Hai still went to the governor's mansion archives to keep an eye on it, and those who sat around eating were still the people who had been drinking last night.

Fang Henshao came back from outside in the afternoon, his face was as usual.

Chang Yun took a look at Fang Henshao and asked, "Mr. Fang, can you find your brother?"

An ordinary question made Fang Henshao panic, put down the bowl and chopsticks and stammered: "No, I haven't found it, maybe he changed his address."

I wanted to talk, but I heard the sound of arrows exploding outside the house.

Chang Yun's face changed, he came to the courtyard, and jumped up to the roof.

I saw the direction of the Governor's Mansion, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

A gust of wind blew, and ordinary monks also reached the roof.

"Something went wrong, Monk, you guard the yard, I'll go and have a look." With a deep leap, he turned out of the yard.

The monk returned to the room and told the two of them what he had seen. Wei Ningzhu's face was quite normal. Although Fang Henshao tried his best to conceal it, the monk still saw the fear and shock in his eyes.

The fire was so bright that it could be faintly seen in the room.

Chang Yun performed lightness kung fu, and soon arrived near the governor's mansion, climbed up a house, and inspected it carefully.

The person who set the fire had already left, and Ji Hai was not seen at the scene. Presumably, he was already going to track down the person who set the fire. The Yuan Pavilion waiters would leave special marks when they tracked down. In addition, Ji Hai's martial arts skills are not weak. Chang Yun was not worried.

The sound of footsteps was heard, Chang Yun looked back, and there was a person holding a wooden ladder, who was clumsily climbing up to the roof where Chang Yun was. Looking carefully, it was Yu Bowen, the director of Yuan Pavilion Jicheng.

After spending a long time, Yu Bowen finally climbed up, and cupped his hands at Chang Yun.

"Master Yu doesn't know martial arts?" Chang Yun asked curiously, there are very few people in Yuan Pavilion who don't know martial arts.

Yu Bowen replied out of breath: "This subordinate was injured a few years ago, and his martial arts were useless, which made Master Chang laugh at him."

Chang Yun didn't speak any more, and turned to look inside the Governor's Mansion.

The fire was extremely intense, and there was always a strong wind in Jicheng, which helped the fire. Fortunately, the Governor's Mansion was always guarded by heavy troops, and the thieves just set fire outside the file warehouse. At this time, hundreds of soldiers had come to put out the fire.

"Something's wrong." Yu Bowen's voice made Chang Yun's heart shudder.

"What did Master Yu find?"

"Mr. Chang, please take a look. The fire was set from outside the dossier. The thieves dared to set fire to the governor's mansion, but only set fire to the outer wall of the dossier. You see," Chang Yun followed Yu Bowen's words Looking at it with his fingers, "After a while, the fire will be under control. Could it be that the thief's goal is not the archives?"

Chang Yun also found it very strange that the burning of the dossier had already been expected by him, so Ji Hai was kept here to monitor it.But it is true as Yu Bowen said, although the fire is big, it is not enough to burn down the entire dossier. How can the thief be so sure that he will burn the vital dossier?
"Firefighting, firefighting." Another team of soldiers carrying buckets joined the firefighting team. The flames had already rushed to the beams of the house. A guard opened the door of the file warehouse, and soldiers poured in to sprinkle water to put out the fire.

"So that's how it is." Chang Yun understood, Yu Bowen took a few steps slower, followed Chang Yun's gaze, and suddenly realized.

"Fireman!"

The purpose of the thieves was not to burn down the archives. The Yunzhou Governor's Mansion was heavily guarded, and it was obviously unrealistic to destroy all the evidence with a single fire.So the purpose of this fire is not, it is to deceive the door of the dossier!

It is extremely difficult for ordinary officials to enter the dossier, and they need to declare layer by layer, but at this moment, because of the emergency, the door of the dossier has been opened, and countless soldiers poured in to fight the fire. Are there all firefighters?

Chang Yun and Yu Bowen showed their original expressions at the same time, and Yu Bowen whispered: "What shall we do next?"

"Ji Hai has already gone to track down the firefighters, Mr. Yu, you send someone to watch over the firefighters tonight to see if you can find any abnormal people. Also, send me the information I want as soon as possible tomorrow." Hehe, but he is not in the bureaucratic system of the Xia Kingdom, so he seldom cooperates directly with the government, and more often assists and investigates secretly.

"Yes, so you are in charge?"

"Ji Hai will leave marks for me along the way, and I'll go and check for the fire-fighters." Chang Yun said and was about to leave.

"Do you need help?"

"No need." Chang Yun waved his hand, he already knew who to ask for help.

In the small courtyard, Chang Yun, who had just returned, saw several people waiting.

"Monk, the Yanshan bandits have burned the archives, and Ji Hai is following them. Would you like to go with me?"

Chang Yun's words made Fang Henshao's face turn pale instantly.

"The monk can't ask for it, Mr. Chang, let's go."

"Wait, wait." It was Fang Henshao who spoke.

Chang Yun and ordinary monks looked at him suspiciously.

"I, I would also like to help Mr. Chang."

Chang Yun looked at the pale Fang Henshao playfully: "Okay, then Mr. Fang, please come with me."
