The heavens: pushing across all realms
Chapter 82 Investigation
Two days later, Tianjin Station, Hu Mansion.
Hu Xiefen looked at his concubine in front of him with a headache.
"Wuwu... Master, I only have a younger brother. He was murdered. If I can't avenge him, I won't be able to live anymore. Wuwu!"
He Cuilian was kneeling on the ground. Although she was petite, she had a slim figure, her skin was as fair as porcelain, and her Suzhou embroidered pink skirt perfectly set off her beauty.
But at this moment, she was crying so hard that people couldn't help but pity her.
Hu Jiefen hurriedly helped her up and slapped the table: "This is unreasonable. What does the prefect of Tianjin do for a living? Even the dignified Yamen masters can be attacked and killed by strongmen at home!"
"Cuilian, I will definitely avenge your brother. Please relax. I will send people to Jinmen now to find out the truth."
Hu Xiefen's words gave He Cuilian hope. She threw herself into Hu Xiefen's arms, crying and acting coquettishly.
After a while, an officer wearing the uniform of the new army general came into the Hu Mansion.
This man is tall, stout, and has a strong back and waist.
He is about thirty years old, with bright eyes, strong energy and blood, and steady steps.
Entering the living room, he saw Hu Jiefen and He Cuilian. He immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Yan Zhendong, please bow to your lord!"
Hu Jiefen looked at this person, let go of He Cuilian, and said in a deep voice: "Zhendong, get up."
"Thank you, sir."
"I remember you came from Shandong, right?"
"Yes, sir."
"Shandong has talented people. You were recommended by my brother-in-law, right?"
Yan Zhendong clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The villain came from a humble background. Fortunately, Master He recommended him to join the new army, and he was favored by the adults, so that he can achieve what he is today. I will never forget it."
Hu Jiefen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well said, Zhendong, I have known that you are a person who knows how to repay kindness, and I also know that you have always been brave. I have important things for you to do today."
"My lord, please give me your instructions."
"My brother-in-law was assassinated in Jinmen."
When Yan Zhendong heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head, showing surprise, and immediately said, "Who is so bold?"
"I don't know, so I want you to go check it out. I have only one request, find the murderer, and see him alive and his body after death!"
"I humbly obey my orders!"
"Go to the military camp and get a hundred people. Go ahead."
"Yes, sir!"
…
Watching Yan Zhendong leave, He Cuilian couldn't help but said: "Master, is this person reliable?"
Hu Jiefen smiled: "Don't underestimate this rough guy. This guy looks rude, but he is actually quite scheming. He is a guy who understands current affairs."
"Then he can catch the murderer? Avenge my brother?"
"Haha, there are many talents in the new army, but when it comes to martial arts, this man is definitely at the forefront."
"Despite his humble appearance, this man has been trained to wear an iron cloth shirt and is invulnerable. No matter who the murderer is, as long as he is found out, he will definitely bring him!"
Only then was He Cuilian satisfied, and she threw herself into Hu Jiefen's arms and acted coquettishly.
Hu Xiefen was over fifty years old, and He Cuilian was about the same size as his granddaughter, but he couldn't put it down and doted on her.
…
But when Yan Zhendong left Hu's house, his eyes showed joy: "God help me, if I can catch the murderer, Inspector Hu will definitely treat me differently, and I will definitely stand out among the new army!"
"At that time, I will see who dares to look down on a warrior like me!"
Rushing back to the military camp, Yan Zhendong ordered a team of 100 people without saying a word, and immediately led everyone to leave the military camp and go straight to Jinmen.
In the afternoon, we arrived at Jinmen Yamen.
The county magistrate Cao Fu had already received the news and greeted Yan Zhendong outside the Yamen early.
Yan Zhendong came on horseback, a team of one hundred people, which was quite large.
The training of the new army was quite effective, and the orders and prohibitions were enforced.
Yan Zhendong dismounted from his horse, stared at the county magistrate Cao Fu, threw out Hu Jiefen's warrant, and said in a deep voice: "Master Cao, do you know what I am here for?"
Cao Fu was covered in cold sweat. Hu Xiefen's brother-in-law died at home. Of course he, the county magistrate, was scared.
In fact, Cao Fu didn't really care about anything in the county government. All matters, big or small, had to be approved by He Sheng'an.
Who gave He Sheng'an a good brother-in-law?
He Sheng'an died, he was happy in his heart, but he was also scared.
He was afraid that Hu Xiefen's anger would implicate him, so when he saw Hu Xiefen sending someone here, he was naturally panicked.
Cao Fu lowered his head and said: "I know, I know, we are all very sad about the death of Master He. Sir, if you have any orders, we will fully cooperate with you."
Yan Zhendong nodded with satisfaction and said: "Your Majesty, Yan Zhendong, I am here to thoroughly investigate the case and tell you about the situation."
Cao Fu nodded quickly: "I'll have someone tell Mr. Yan the situation. Wang Captou, you can do it."
Mr. Wang, an old man from the government office, was quite experienced in criminal cases. He stood up and quickly talked about the case.
"Sir, we received the report at dawn."
"The person who reported the crime was He Xuweng, the steward of He Mansion. According to his confession, there were only a group of dancers in the room that day, as well as Master He and Master Qin of Tiedaomen."
"Is there anyone alive?"
Yan Zhendong asked the core question directly.
Wang Captou shook his head: "No, the three dancers, as well as Master He, Master Qin and his son, all died. In addition, Master He was tortured before his death. According to his wife, most of the money in the family is gone."
"The villain initially suspects that he might have killed someone for money."
Yan Zhendong ignored it, just narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself: "Master Qin of the Iron Sword Sect? Is he even dead?"
He had been in the Jinmen martial arts world, and with his iron cloth kung fu, it was not difficult to open a martial arts gym in Jinmen back then.
It's just that he committed crimes in Shandong, joined the White Lotus Sect, and smashed foreign churches, so he didn't dare to open the restaurant with great fanfare.
Later, he wandered for a long time, and one day he was performing on the streets. He Sheng'an took notice of him and stayed with him as a bodyguard.
After that, he helped He Sheng'an deal with many dirty things in Jinmen.
Once, a big shot was killed, and Jinmen couldn't stay any longer, so He Sheng'an found a way to insert him into the new army, and he became the prestige he is today.
Therefore, he is no stranger to the underworld martial arts gyms in Jinmen.
Master Qin of the Iron Sword Sect, he knew even more clearly that this man was proficient in the Nine-ringed Sword and was a well-deserved master among the Jin Sect.
Even his iron cloth shirt would probably break through the opponent's nine-ringed sword.
Now even this Master Qin has died in He Mansion. The murderer's martial arts is beyond ordinary.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked: "Which Jinmen boxing gym is the strongest now?"
Cao Fu was stunned. He looked confused. Of course he didn't understand the martial arts.
But Wang Captou immediately helped him out, saying: "Nowadays, among the martial arts schools in Jinmen, the only ones that are said to be powerful are Huojia Quan and the Qiang Wuhui that have just emerged recently."
"But Feng Ji, the president of the Qiangwu Association, had a fight with Huo Yuanjia, the successor of Huojia Quan, a few days ago. I heard that Huo Yuanjia lost. Everyone said that Feng Ji is now the number one in Jinmen."
Yan Zhendong was very interested. Of course he had heard of Huo Yuanjia's name.
I didn’t expect anyone to be able to defeat Fearless?
He suddenly asked: "Is there any dispute between the Qiangwu Association and the Iron Sword Sect?"
"Well, yes, I heard that President Feng of the Qiangwu Association once challenged Iron Knife Gate, but Mr. Qin lost." Wang Captou said.
Yan Zhendong immediately narrowed his eyes: "There are only a handful of Jinmen who have a feud with Mr. Qin and can win. There must be something wrong with this strong martial arts association."
He immediately asked: "Does this person named Feng have any relationship with Master He?"
"According to He Xuweng's account, the Feng family wants to donate their official positions and has been asking Master He to help smoothen the relationship."
"Master He has not been able to complete the task for a long time. He seems to be deliberately... deliberately making things difficult..."
Yan Zhendong's eyes immediately lit up.
"Come on, let's go to the strong martial arts meeting!"
