Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 29 Investigation in progress

After returning to the inn, Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Chen discussed the clues in their hands. Lu Xiaofeng said, "Zhu Ting's printing plate has been destroyed by himself, and the only one that can be copied is Zhu Ting's brother Yue Qing."

"But according to Luo Butou, Yue Qing died of a plague seven years ago, and after being cremated, his ashes were enshrined in the Yunjian Temple outside the city." Lu Xiaofeng paused and then continued.

"In prison, Zhu Ting told me that Yue Qing had a daughter. Maybe she has some clues? But Zhu Ting has never seen the grown-up Yue Qing's daughter. He only knows that Yue Qing once said that her daughter had a daughter on her chest. The mole looks like the mark of Luban's axe, and he once boasted that this is the person chosen by the patriarch." Lu Xiaofeng looked at Zhang Chen with a wine glass and said with a smile.

"Brother Lu, are you testing me? It's obvious that you guys are suspecting a conspiracy by a traitor. Otherwise, how could they have never seen each other based on their friendship?" Zhang Chen also raised his wine glass and said to Lu Xiaofeng .

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said to Zhang Chen, "Smart people, I like smart people!".

The two looked at each other and smiled, toasted and drank together...

In the afternoon, Qian Datong, the shopkeeper of Datong Baochao, learned that Lu Xiaofeng was investigating the case, so he invited Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Chen to the bank.

After looking through the counterfeit banknotes repeatedly in the bank, it was found that the counterfeit banknotes were all with a large face value of more than one thousand taels, and there were wine stains and a faint smell of rouge on the banknotes.

"I conclude that these counterfeit banknotes must be used in romantic places," Lu Xiaofeng said with certainty.

Zhang Chen interjected and said, "Although this place is not big, there are not too many romantic places. We only have three days."

I have a good friend, Sikong Zhaixing, who is known as the king of thieves, and Bai Zhantang, Ji Wuming and others can be regarded as legends in the world of thieves. This time, he happened to be nearby, so I asked him to help investigate these places.

That night, Lu Xiaofeng took Zhang Chen to a street and saw Sikong Zhaixing weighing a fan pendant in his hand. Lu Xiaofeng had an idea and told Zhang Chen to look at me, then used his lightness kung fu to grab the fan pendant and ran out of the city.

Seeing Sikong Zhaixing chasing after him, Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly, and then used his lightness kung fu to chase after him.

When they got to the woods, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing were talking, seeing Zhang Chen only a little later, they chased him up and asked curiously, "Who is this? He has such light skills at such a young age."

Lu Xiaofeng introduced from the side, "This is a good friend of Zhang Chenbai Zhantang".

Sikong Zhaixing nodded and said, "I haven't met Bai Zhantang for many years. I heard that he retired from the world. I don't know if it's true or not."

Zhang Chen replied, "Brother Bai, now that he has retired from the world, he has fulfilled his wish."

Lu Xiaofeng teased and said from the side, "Don't talk about me being an idiot, I heard that you also washed your hands in the golden basin, why are you still stealing?"

Sikong Zhaixing immediately shouted loudly, "I'm not stealing or borrowing, and I just borrowed something I'm interested in for a few days. If I meet the original owner by chance, I will return it to him."

Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Chen shook their heads when they heard Sikong Zaixing's sophistry, because such a chance is really too small, Lu Xiaofeng played with the fan pendant in his hand and said this time I will help you return it to its original owner.

After chatting for a while, Lu Xiaofeng told him the reason for coming to him for help this time, and asked Sikong Zhaixing about the places nearby where he could spend a lot of money. do it.

Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Chen followed Sikong Zaixing to a hidden forest, and then stopped at a coffin.

"The address of this bliss building is that after entering the coffin, someone will send it to the location, which can be described as very hidden," Sikong Zaixing said from the side.

Lu Xiaofeng and the two nodded and entered the coffin. After a while, they felt the coffin moving, and only heard a bang as the coffin fell to the ground. Come to the Bliss Tower."

I saw the shopkeeper and the servants wearing masks, and the three of them also put on masks, and were led into the building by the servants. After observing for a while, Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "It really is a gold consumption cave where money is spent like water. In just this moment, thousands of Wan is gone."

When he was feeling emotional, Zhang Chen patted him on the shoulder, and then pointed to a man in dignified clothes.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback for a moment, then walked to his side with a chuckle and changed his tone, saying, "Young master, please stop, you dropped something."

Hua Manlou asked, "What is it?"

"It's a fan pendant, young master, do we know each other?" Lu Xiaofeng continued.

Hua Manlou smiled lightly when he heard the words and said, "I don't know if you are familiar, but I am very familiar with your smell."

When Lu Xiaofeng heard Hua Manlou say this, he knew that he recognized him, so he changed back to his original voice and said, "Why did you come to this Bliss Building, and then I slapped my forehead and remembered that I forgot that you are the young owner of Datong Baochao".

After dropping the fan in his hand to Huamanlou, Lu Xiaofeng beckoned to Zhang Chen and Sikong Zaixing, and everyone walked aside.

This is Sikong Zhaixing and this is Zhang Chen. They are all my good friends, and they pointed to Hua Manlou and said that this is my childhood friend Hua Manlou, the young master of the Jiangnan Hua family.

After everyone saluted one after another, they discussed and planned to go upstairs. After all, the downstairs is just an ordinary gambler, and there is not much information to be found.

This night Lu Xiaofeng had the gambling funds provided by Huamanlou. On the second floor of the Bliss Building, he spent money like water, but when he went up to the third floor and entered the room of a girl who claimed to be Wuyan, she looked a bit elegant. The room was lit with expensive ambergris, and the room was well decorated. It's not like a casino but like a woman's boudoir.

Sikong Zhaixing had long since disappeared, Zhang Chen stayed with Huamanlou for a while, and when he saw that Lu Xiaofeng hadn't come down, he planned to return.

After the two returned to the woods and went out of the coffin, Zhang Chen said to Huamanlou, "Young man, let's go back to the inn first! The two of them should be able to investigate clearly tonight, what is going on with the Bliss Tower?".

Hua Manlou nodded, and the two returned to the inn, waiting for the return of Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing...
