The Book of Heaven

Chapter 203 Phoebe Forest

Originally, Ma Zheng wasn't as high-profile as he was, after all, he was still a wanted criminal. Gentlemen like Zhuge's family often recognized people but not their feelings. The most important thing was identity.

Ma Zheng's biggest problem is that he has no identity or can't show his identity. It is undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing to deal with the nobles without an identity.

The attitude of the concierge is the best embodiment.

Looking at Ma Zheng up and down with contemptuous eyes, the last mouthful of saliva flew out. Although it didn't hit Ma Zheng's face directly, it was still very far away from Ma Zheng's instep.

"roll!"

One word fully explained the concierge's unruliness, Ma Zheng smiled helplessly again, he took out a golden key, the yellow brilliance made the concierge stop closing the door, his eyes straightened slightly.

"what do you mean?"

After pondering for a moment, the porter asked.

"I just want to prove that I didn't come to fight Qiufeng. If you can tell me where Ma Zhao went, this golden key will be yours."

Although Zhuge's family was rich, it was not enough for a concierge to live a luxurious life. It would take the concierge two years to save the golden locket in Ma Zheng's hand.

If it's just a change of news, the concierge feels that this does not violate his job, besides, didn't Ma Zheng just say that he is an old friend of Ma Zhao.

"I can help you find out." The concierge's eyes still did not leave Jin Kezi.

"I can wait here, and I will give it to you only when I hear the news." Ma Zheng had a peaceful smile on his face, and he didn't show any disdain because of the snobbery of the concierge.

"Then you wait."

The concierge closed the door faster this time, but there was almost no sound. Standing outside the door, Ma Zheng could hear the hurried footsteps going away.

However, Ban Zhuxiang came back with hurried steps, the door was opened, and the concierge said out of breath: "I have asked, I have asked, someone sent a letter to Ma Zhao in the morning, and he went out after receiving the letter." .”

"Do you know where he went?"

"I heard it's in the Phoebe Forest, I can't guarantee that."

Ma Zheng smiled and handed the golden locker to the porter, "You deserve it."

With the urgency of this concierge, even if Ma Zheng didn't say this, after Jin Kaizi got his hands, he probably wouldn't say thank you to Ma Zheng.

Ma Zheng was not familiar with Nanmulin, but fortunately, there was no curfew in Chengdu, and even the nightlife was extremely rich. When the light illuminating the city changed from the sun to lanterns, there were more cars and horses on the street.

It doesn't matter if Ma Zheng can't find Phoebe Forest, as long as the coachman can find it.

In fact, Phoebe Forest is not a real place name. For the locals in Chengdu, Phoebe Forest is an area, a place that used to be full of Phoebe bamboo, and was later used as a living area by a group of poor people.

Because it was a slum area from the beginning, so even today, Nanmulin is also a representative of cheapness in Chengdu.

There are cheap housing, cheap restaurants and even cheap attic yards here. In short, everything that should be in a city is here, but the grade has dropped drastically.

However, it is just such a place, but I don't know when it started to become the most prosperous area in the city at night.

Either because of the low level of consumption, or because of the low price of labor, according to the driver who brought Ma Zheng here, in Phoebe Forest, only you can't think of it, and there is nothing you can't buy.

Anything you want can be bought with money, whether it is sex or happiness, or even the life of your enemy, as long as you are willing to spend money, Nanmulin will always satisfy you.This is indeed a magical place, but what Ma Zheng couldn't figure out was, who would write a letter to Ma Zhao, and then trick Ma Zhao into coming here?

For Ma Zhao, there may only be two really important people in this world, the third uncle, and him, Ma Zheng.Because Ma Zhao is afraid of death, and the third uncle can decide his life and death, but he has to live and die with Ma Zheng, so Ma Zhao only pays attention to these two people.

Others are completely dispensable to Ma Zhao.

Based on his understanding of Ma Zhao, Ma Zheng felt that he could almost guess the general content of the letter.Either it was related to third uncle, or it was related to him Ma Zheng.

If the letter hadn't been written by the third uncle, and others would hardly know about the relationship between Ma Zhao and the third uncle, then the content must be related to Ma Zheng, which would make Ma Zhao leave the inn in a hurry, even No greetings.

But Ma Zheng is standing here right now, he has neither asked others to inform Ma Zhao, nor has he thought of using others to inform Ma Zhao of his whereabouts.

In short, if the person who called Ma Zhao out was not the third uncle, it means that Ma Zhao must have been fooled.After such a thorough analysis, Ma Zheng then considered the person who designed Ma Zhao, who would it be?
"Who would design a great fool?"

Although it is not true that Ma Zhao has no brain at all, at least from the outside, Ma Zhao is a big fool, and it is easy for people to have the urge to deceive him, especially the kind of guy who thinks he has a good brain. The most important thing is to seek success in people like Ma Zhao.

Taking advantage of the night to go around the whole Phoebe Forest, Ma Zheng's only gain was that he was familiar with the terrain. As for Ma Zhao's whereabouts, he hadn't found the slightest bit of it, and he didn't look forward to it.He is neither the Fore model nor Conan, so it is impossible to find Ma Zheng with just one clue.

As the night darkened, even the city dwellers who were used to nightlife began to return home one after another, and batch after batch of beggars appeared at the gates of restaurants and brothels.

Creatures like beggars will exist at any time. They have similar appearance characteristics and behaviors. The only change from now to later generations is that the forms of money used for begging are different, but the essence is the same.

In addition to begging, beggars roam the streets and alleys, and they can also see many things that ordinary people can't see or don't pay attention to.

If you want to find someone, maybe it would be a good way to find a local wandering beggar, but there are two prerequisites.

First, you have to be rich, and beggars who don’t have money will ignore you; second, you must not be afraid of being cheated by beggars, that is, you must have the strength to prevent beggars from having unreasonable thoughts.

Fortunately, Ma Zheng met these two conditions, so he found those beggars who seemed to appear suddenly from the underground of the street.

"I want to inquire about someone."

Surrounded by five or six beggars, the smell was unbearable. If Ma Zheng hadn't been able to separate his mind and body, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to stay calm all the time surrounded by a group of beggars like he is now.

"If you can provide effective information, it's yours!"

Of course, Ma Zheng didn't need to take out a whole gold picket at this time, that would be too flattering to these beggars, a single ingot of snow-white silver is enough to make these beggars run for their lives!
A few dirty hands reached out, trying to grab the silver.When a person is willing to kneel down on the street and beg for a bowl of food to fill his stomach, don't worry about whether he will lose face. For money, these beggars can even kill people.
