Not long after, the owner of the pawnshop came back with the land deed and the house deed.

"My dear gentlemen, it's all done. Here are the keys to the house and shop. Keep them safe. I wish you both great success in business and prosperity for your families!"

Qibao took the house deeds and land deeds, thanked the boss, and left the brokerage firm.

Xu Wenwu said, "It's almost noon, I guess Brother Su should be back by now!"

Qibao nodded and said, "Well, let's go back!"

So the two of them returned to the inn and to their room, and Su Chenyu had indeed returned.

Su Chenyu said: "I just came back too, and the stool isn't warm yet."

Qibao asked, "What did you find out?"

When Su Chenyu heard Qibao's question, his expression turned a little unhappy. He said, "I followed the servant sent by the Wen Mansion all the way out of the city gate. We followed him for quite a distance and finally climbed a mountain. I found that there were people patrolling this mountain. If it weren't for my good Qinggong skills, I would have been discovered. I didn't expect that there was a bandit nest called Black Gang Village on this mountain. The location is very hidden.

It took me a lot of effort to get in. There were quite a lot of people inside. I also overheard the conversation between the servant and the people inside, and roughly understood what they were doing.

Xuanyang City is a relatively prosperous area, and many foreign merchants pass through here. They mainly rob these foreign merchants, whether it is gold, silver, treasures or other valuable items, they will not refuse anyone. "

Wen Yuan asked, "So, this Magistrate Feng is related to this gangster camp?"

"Yes! The leader is the eldest brother of the concubine of Feng Zhifu. If those foreign merchants report to the authorities, Feng Zhifu will send some officers and soldiers to track down the criminals. However, it is just a show for the merchants to see. After a long time, the money cannot be recovered, and the merchants can only consider themselves unlucky and leave."

"This is outrageous! Isn't this collusion between officials and bandits? They are punishable by beheading, and they are really not afraid of death." Wen Yuan said angrily.

Su Chenyu said, "I've discovered that these bandits are quite capable. They're definitely not just fierce on the outside. I saw all sorts of weapons like knives and clubs. I'm sure they've injured quite a few people in the past."

Wen Yuan asked, "Then why did they allow these merchants to report to the authorities?"

Jing Chen said calmly, "This is different with murder. Once people know where someone died, the matter will definitely become a hot topic, which will not benefit them."

Su Chenyu nodded and said, "My cousin is right, it is indeed so."

"So what do we do now?"

Su Chenyu said, "There are only six of us, and there are probably about one or two hundred people on the mountain. It will take some effort to deal with them. Besides, I was the only one who witnessed this incident, and I can't provide any evidence. I plan to write a letter back to tell my grandfather and ask him to find a way to send someone to investigate."

Jing Chen said: "Okay, I think there must be something we don't know about this matter, we must find out."

Wen Yuan said, "Oh right, I heard from my father that Magistrate Feng seems to have someone behind him, someone who is quite powerful, but we don't know who it is."

Su Chenyu and Jing Chen looked at each other. There were only a few people with high power. If it was really related to them, then this matter would be quite serious.

Su Chenyu said, "Even if he has a backer, this is a heinous crime punishable by death, and no one can protect him. If this matter is exposed, the people behind Feng Zhifu will also be implicated. By then, there is no doubt that he will be kicked out."

Qibao said, "Last night I heard them say they were sending the money away early. Where are they sending it to? I think it's probably that so-called backstage person!"

Su Chenyu said, "It's very likely. Generally, you can't offer enough benefits. No one will protect you just because they like you, not to mention those people in the capital who value rights and interests very much."

Wen Yuan said, "No wonder my father always told us since we were little that once a person is blinded by profit, they will lose their moral compass. I think my father's injury was most likely caused by someone from the Feng Mansion!"

Su Chenyu said: "Yes! I saw that many people in the village were carrying bows and arrows, and the arrows were exactly the same as the one pulled out from your father's chest."

Wen Yuan said, "Damn it! Now that we know who the murderer is, we can't take revenge. It's really frustrating."

Su Chenyu said, "Don't worry. This matter is not that simple. We can't act rashly. First, we have no substantial evidence. Second, we can't kill court officials without the emperor's permission. Let's go back first. I'm going to write a letter back to the capital and ask my grandfather to send someone to investigate secretly. We must not alert the enemy."

Wen Yuan also knew that Su Chenyu's identity was not simple, so he didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "I can wait, as long as I can avenge my father in the end."

Su Chenyu said: "Yes!"

Qibao said, "I think the woman who was arrested must have a grudge against the Feng family. Maybe we can learn something from her."

"Qibao, what do you mean..."

Qibao nodded.

Jing Chen said: "Okay, then let Ye Feng go to the government jail tonight to see if he can rescue the person."

Several people nodded and agreed.

They had almost finished talking about the matter and it was time for dinner, so they asked the waiter in the inn to buy some food and bring it up.

Su Chenyu took two bites and said, "This dish is not tasty at all. It's not as good as the one made by the Xu family."

Qibao said, "Didn't the food you ate at Fentao's house smell delicious? Why are you being so picky now?"

Su Chenyu said, "That's a huge difference! That's because Auntie used the best things in her house to treat us, so it was a thoughtful gesture, so naturally it's different. But these are what we bought with our own money, so if they don't taste good, then they don't taste good."

Several people chuckled when they heard this. As long as they could put the food in their mouths and fill their stomachs, the most important thing was.

Xu Wenwu said, "Brother Su, Jingchen, it seems you have a shop in Xuanyang City as well?"

Su Chenyu nodded and said, "Well, that's right. However, we came here to investigate. Staying in the shop might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. After all, I was in court yesterday, and many people should recognize me."

"So when are we going to go back?"

Su Chenyu said: "If Ye Feng goes well tonight, we can go back tomorrow!"

Wen Yuan said, "I thought I would solve the problem this time, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this!"

Su Chenyu said, "Over the years, this Feng prefect has probably made a lot of money using this method. Once it's discovered, it's all dirty money. If the amount is large, the whole family might be beheaded. Wouldn't that be more satisfying than us taking revenge ourselves?"

Wen Yuan thought about it and nodded. Venting his anger was nothing more than teaching them a lesson. How could it be as valuable as their lives?

None of them went out, but stayed in the room chatting and resting.

The sky gradually darkened, and when there were no people on the street, Ye Feng changed into black clothes and jumped out of the window of the inn.

Su Chenyu said: "With Ye Feng's ability, he will definitely be able to bring the person back!"

Wen Yuan said, "Brother Su, are you so sure? This prison is undoubtedly heavily guarded. There's a guard every five steps and a sentry every three steps. It's impossible for ordinary people to get in!"
