The Peerless Master of Jinyiwei

Chapter 145 The Hiding Place
"However, I don't know how big this box is, and where is it placed?" Bei Gonghan asked.

"It's on the square not far from here." Meng Rufan said to Bei Gonghan, "Everyone, please follow me."

Meng Rufan led the way, and after passing a small path, Ning Chen saw the place where Meng Rufan said he was hoarding goods.

"Young master." Meng Rufan looked at Ning Chen and said, "This is the place. Some VIP goods are placed here in advance, and will be transported to the pier from here at the agreed time."

"Why not send it directly to the pier?" Ning Chen asked curiously.

"Since the young master asked a question, I dare not hide it." Meng Rufan gave a wry smile, and continued: "Because most of the things that go out from here are things that are clearly prohibited by the court, so..."

"It's an unspoken rule again." Ning Chen shook his head slowly. Although he didn't say anything on his face, he was secretly helpless in his heart. I'm afraid this was secretly instructed by Jiang Li, right?
If Jiang Li himself hadn't nodded, I'm afraid Qian Jiangmeng wouldn't have dared to do such a thing even if he had two more guts.

"Forget it." Ning Chen waved his hand lightly, and then said: "This matter is out of my control, and I have nothing to do with it."

"Please take a look, my lord." Meng Rufan pointed to a box in front of him, and continued: "That day the servants of the Marquis Mansion brought over a big box like this."

"It's really big!" Ning Chen looked at Bei Gonghan, and then said, "Let's not talk about one person in this box, even two people are more than enough!"

"What's so weird about that box that day?" Bei Gonghan looked at Meng Rufan and asked.

"If it's about the weirdness." Meng Rufan thought for a moment, then thought of Ning Chen's words just now, and said, "It turns out that none of these boxes are locked."

"Didn't you open it to see what's in it?" Bei Gonghan asked.

"Three boxes of gold, silver and jade wares, and two boxes of brocade and silk." Meng Rufan replied honestly, "They are all top-grade."

"President Liao." Ning Chen looked at Liao Rusong, and asked again: "But I don't know what my Uncle Li will give you next time? Is it also unlocked?"

"Locked." Liao Rusong said confidently, "It's just that the things inside have never been seen, but you can roughly guess that they should be some salt and iron."

"Whether it's salt or iron, they are all official camps. If Leader Liao is in it, he will get a lot of benefits." Ning Chen looked at Liao Rusong and laughed.

"By the way, is there any hidden hiding place in your Qianjiang League?" Ning Chen asked.

"If it's about the hiding place." Meng Rufan paused, then continued, "I know a place."

"Oh~" Ning Chen's eyes lit up, he looked at Meng Rufan and said, "Please lead the way ahead, maybe you will find something."

Now everyone in the Qianjiang League also knew what Ning Chen was suspecting, that is, that the poisonous scorpion elder had entered the Qianjiang League by hiding in Li Qingchou's box.

After inquiring, Ning Chen learned that only Li Qingchou's family used Qianjiang League to deliver goods before the Hou Mansion was destroyed.

Turned a corner from the square here, but saw a few dilapidated houses.

"Unexpectedly, there is such a place in the Qianjiang League?" Ning Chen chuckled, looked at Liao Rusong and said, "Dare to ask the leader, what is this place?"

"It's an interesting thing to say." Liao Rusong smiled helplessly, and continued: "This is the house left by the former leader during his lifetime. I thought about demolishing it a few days ago, but I didn't expect that the construction has not started yet. , the news of the Marquis Mansion spread out, and this matter is not a big deal, and there are quite a few people from Jianghu who have been going to Fujian one after another in recent days, so I left it behind."

"Let's go." Ning Chen looked at Xia Yao who was closely following him and said, "Let's go and see what is the mystery behind it."

"Squeak!"

The door was opened, and a lot of dust fell.

"How long has no one been here?" Ning Chen looked at the empty room, except for a kang in the inner room, there were no other objects.

"Since the old leader passed away, I'm afraid no one has come here again." Liao Rusong thought for a while and continued.

When the Qianjiang League was in charge of the old leader, it did not join the Jinyiwei, and the Qianjiang League back then was far from the foundation it is now.

The old leader is not the master of Liao Rusong and others, but just one of the many water bandits.

"So." Bei Gonghan chuckled, looked at Liao Rusong and said, "The old leader has been dead for six or seven years, right?"

"Well, seven years and eight months." Meng Rufan nodded lightly. The day the old leader passed away was also the day when the Qianjiang League surrendered to Jinyiwei.

Others could not remember this incident, but he, Meng Rufan, remembered it clearly.

"I come to clean this house once a month at the end of each month." Meng Rufan smiled awkwardly, looked at the crowd and said, "I just didn't come here because it was said that the house was going to be demolished recently."

"If you do the calculations like this, no one has been here for more than a month." Meng Rufan said to Ning Chen.

"Did you find anything?" Ning Chen walked around the room, but walked to the window, and looked out of the window to see the Shonai Lake within the Qianjiang League.

"My lord." Bei Gonghan's expression became a little serious, and he continued, "There is nothing abnormal here. This subordinate concluded that no one has entered this room within a month."

"Yes." Ning Chen nodded lightly, and continued: "From the dust on the ground, it can be seen that there is indeed no one here for a month."

"But who said that hiding must be in the room." Ning Chen chuckled, walked out of the door and directly detoured behind the house.

Bei Gonghan and the others also rushed out to see what Ning Chen found.

"People can hide in the house, but it's okay here?" Ning Chen gently pointed to the front of his eyes, which is the back of the house. There is a bush here, and behind the bush is Zhuangai Lake .

"Everyone, please look." Ning Chen took another step forward, pointed to the small tree branch, and said, "It's broken, it's a broken branch."

"Has Leader Meng been here recently?" Ning Chen asked.

"I've never been here before, but I came here in the past, that is, I went into the house to clean up, and I wouldn't come back here." Meng Rufan said.

"There are still footprints here!" Xia Yao who didn't know when she arrived by the lake suddenly said, "Xiao Ning, come and see!"

"Footprints?" Ning Chen chuckled, exchanged glances with Bei Gonghan, and walked quickly to Xia Yao's side.
