Chapter 4

/Banxia Novel Exclusive/

*

Seventeen days after Sikong Zhaixing disappeared, Lu Xiaofeng finally couldn't help but start looking for him.

He and Sikong Zhaixing didn't have a sticky relationship where they had to know each other's whereabouts, but - Sikong Zhaixing didn't come to him to show off, which made Lu Xiaofeng suspect that he had fallen into a trap.

Lu Xiaofeng planned to meet Master Guisun again.

On the way there, they passed the bridge again. Below was a young man standing at the bow of the boat, with his hair tied up with a mahogany hairpin, which was very bright among the green willow trees.

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at him, and the young man seemed to sense something, looked up, and smiled at Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng recognized him.

These days, Lu Xiaofeng would occasionally meet this boatman.

It's not quite accurate to call him a boatman. This man has many jobs. Lu Xiaofeng has seen him mending roofs for others and doing accounts in inns.

The young man was in high spirits, and Lu Xiaofeng grinned and smiled back at him.

The place where Guisun Laoye settled was deep in a remote alley. After Wanwulou took away his business, not many people came to visit him.

Lu Xiaofeng thought that only he would come to visit him, but he saw someone waiting outside the door.

The four people were the four sword boys who served the ruthless captain. They had met Lu Xiaofeng several times. When they saw Lu Xiaofeng from a distance, the silver sword boy went into the house to report.

Lu Xiaofeng walked closer and saw the scene inside the house clearly.

Old Master Guisun was blocked by Constable Wuqing and another person in the house and could not move forward or backward. When he saw Lu Xiaofeng, his eyes lit up as if he saw a savior.

Constable Wuqing looked at Lu Xiaofeng outside the door with a cold expression. Another person beside him also turned his head to look. This person was dressed gorgeously and was older than Wuqing. He looked like a young man from a wealthy family who spent money like water.

Lu Xiaofeng thought about their purpose in her heart and stepped forward to greet them: "Constable Wuqing, long time no see."

Wuqing nodded and introduced the constable next to him to Lu Xiaofeng - Jin Jiuling.

"So it's Constable Jin, I've heard a lot about you." Lu Xiaofeng smiled.

Jin Jiuling is a well-known chief constable in the underworld. His seniority is longer than that of Yu Feng's four famous constables, but this is the first time Lu Xiaofeng has seen him. He

is very much in line with the rumors of luxury and enjoyment.

Jin Jiuling nodded and smiled, but did not say anything.

Old Master Guisun said, "Ahem, you have heard of me for a long time. I have something to do first..." The ruthless wheelchair moved, blocking his way, and said lightly, "Don't try to get away with it."

Old Master Guisun looked at Lu Xiaofeng and signaled him with his eyes.

Lu Xiaofeng had just arrived and was confused. When he received the look of help, he looked back innocently.

Old Master Guisun gnashed his teeth and said, "I've already said that I can't do anything. I dare not provoke him. - And you just go find him yourself. Don't drag me into this! He and I are not in the same group!"

"You just need to tell me where to see him." Wuqing said calmly, with an attitude that would not be refused.

Jin Jiuling was a step slower, and also said slowly: "Don't forget, it was you who mentioned him first. Since you know... why don't you say it out?"

Lu Xiaofeng pricked up his ears and couldn't help but say: "Are you two talking about... the owner of Wanwu Building?"

Jin Jiuling was a little surprised and said, "That's right."

Old Master Guisun's pupils trembled, and he winked at Lu Xiaofeng frantically. Wuqing glanced at him and caught him winking.

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

Grandpa Guisun: "..." Wuqing

laughed: "Why don't you just say it?"

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Grandpa Guisun, who looked frustrated.

Wuqing asked Lu Xiaofeng: "Why did you come to him?"

Lu Xiaofeng said truthfully: "I came to ask him about the whereabouts of Sikong Zhaixing. The monkey spirit was still hanging around in front of me half a month ago, but he has disappeared in the past half month... I'm afraid something has happened to him."

Wuqing was very sensitive: "He went to deal with Wanwu Building"

Jin Jiuling frowned on the side, looking worried.

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "If Sikong Zhaixing wants to see him, he might also come to ask Dazhi Datong..." He looked at the old man, whose eyes rolled around.

Three people: "..."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "So he has come to you, right?" Wuqing

sneered: "'Don't dare to provoke him'"

He had already told Sikong Zhaixing, who came to ask about the location of the owner of Wanwu Building, so he didn't dare to provoke him .

Old Master Guisun stretched out his right hand, clasped his five fingers together, and rubbed his index and middle fingers with his thumb.

The unspoken meaning was very obvious. If you want to know, you have to pay.

Lu Xiaofeng almost laughed. This old man is still thinking about money at this time. He is really obsessed with money.

Old Master Guisun said confidently: "Wanwulou has taken my business. I am the only one who knows where his place is. Can't I make a little money with it?" Wuqing frowned. Jin Jiuling asked: "How much?"

Old Master Guisun said: "No more, no less, fifty taels."

You might as well go and rob it! Lu Xiaofeng glared slightly: "How much did the monkey spirit give?"

"He also gave fifty taels."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't quite believe it. Sikong Zhaixing was very stingy in this regard, but on second thought, maybe the employer gave Sikong Zhaixing a sum of money.

Jin Jiuling took out the money with a cold face, and Wuqing didn't even have time to stop him.

Old Master Guisun stuffed the money into his arms.

"Instead of arguing with him, it's better to meet the owner of Wanwu Building as soon as possible."

Jin Jiuling looked very unhappy when facing Guisun Laoye, but he was gentle and calm when explaining to Wuqing, like a senior in the martial arts world.

Wuqing nodded silently, but wondered in his heart, how much money does Jin Jiuling

have? Guisun Laoye looked at Lu Xiaofeng with money in his pocket, Lu Xiaofeng looked at him, Guisun Laoye snorted coldly, did not chase him away, and told him the location of Wanwu Building.

"Sikong Zhaixing also went there a few days ago, maybe he scared him away, if you don't see him, you are not allowed to come back and blame me."

Guisun Laoye emphasized that after-sales service is not included.

——What a shameless profiteer! Lu Xiaofeng thought.

The three of them went out. Two of the four sword boys were assigned new tasks by Wuqing, and the other two continued to follow Wuqing. The five of them headed for the Wanwu Building.

Wuqing looked at Lu Xiaofeng and asked, "Are you going too?"

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and nodded sincerely.

Wuqing didn't say anything else, and Jin Jiuling didn't express any opinions on this. Since Master Guisun told him where the Wanwu Building was, he seemed to have something on his mind.

Lu Xiaofeng was more familiar with Wuqing's third apprentice brother Zhui Ming. They were good friends who loved drinking. He had fought with Wuqing several times and had a very pleasant cooperation.

But he didn't know much about Jin Jiuling.

Jin Jiuling frowned slightly, as if he was worried about something. Wuqing's expression was always dull and indifferent. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't tell anything from his face, but seeing Jin Jiuling's expression, Lu Xiaofeng guessed that the case they were going to handle might be very complicated.

Lu Xiaofeng was not a good detective who didn't ask questions, so he asked decisively, and the two captains did not hide anything from him and told him frankly.

- After all, it was not something that needed to be hidden. After a while, anyone with a keen eye would know it.

In the past two months, a "Xiuhua Thief" appeared in the underworld. He had committed two cases. He specialized in robbing escorts and blinded the eyes of anyone who saw his appearance.

According to the people who were lucky enough to survive, this man had a full beard and sat in front of the road, embroidering a handkerchief slowly. He embroidered the needle and killed people without blinking an eye. He snatched the darts and ran away.

This embroidered thief probably didn't do a good job of investigation beforehand and robbed the Yihua Palace.

"Yihua Palace" Lu Xiaofeng was surprised, "Yihua Palace, which has lived in seclusion for a long time and only accepts female disciples"

nodded mercilessly.

Yihua Palace is a sect in the world that only accepts female disciples. Men are not allowed to step in. It is similar to the palace rules of Shenshui Palace. Although these two sects have lived in seclusion for a long time and do not interact with others, there are many disciples in the palace. Naturally, it is impossible for them to eat the northwest wind. They are also running many businesses in secret.

The escorted goods that were intercepted were the gold and silver that were transported to Yihua Palace.

Yihua Palace concealed it very well. Before the escorted goods were robbed, no one knew that the goods were transported to Yihua Palace.

There were two palace masters in Yihua Palace, both of whom were extremely angry about this matter. Wuqing, as the head of the Six Gates that govern the underworld, took on the responsibility of finding out the truth.

As for Jin Jiuling, he was handling the case near the place where the robbery took place. When Wuqing rushed there after discussing with the two palace masters, he had already been investigating there for some time.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't know what the great thief Xiuhua was thinking, she only knew that this man was really not picky about doing bad things and was very courageous.

Wuqing commented succinctly: "He is not a

very smart person." Is Yihua Palace so easy to provoke?

Jin Jiuling remained silent.

While talking, the three of them arrived outside a small courtyard. There was no one guarding the courtyard. Looking in from the door, there was a faint sense of deep and desolate.

This courtyard was too quiet.

Lu Xiaofeng was only worried about one thing, whether the owner of Wanwu Building, whom she had never met, might have left

. The safety of Sikong Zhaixing, the monkey spirit...

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng went forward and knocked on the door.

No one answered. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, no one opened the door.

Jin Jiuling looked at Wuqing and asked for his opinion: "Why not go in directly?"

Wuqing was about to nod when there was a movement behind him. The three of them turned around together.

Not far away, a man was carrying a vegetable basket, staring at them with wide eyes.

The rapeseed in the basket was lush green, dotted with yellow rapeseed flowers.

Lu Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the man for a while, then jumped up: "You stupid monkey! Are you here to be a cook?"

Although the guy had changed his face again, Lu Xiaofeng certainly recognized him! He was worried about Sikong Zhaixing's safety!

"Bullshit! I'm not a cook!"

Sikong Zhaixing was surprisingly angry. Chongming gave him the identities of "subordinate" and "minion" on his own, and Lu Xiaofeng also gave him the identity of "cook". Who do they all think he is! Facing

Sikong Zhaixing's anger, Wuqing was silent. Is this the point?

Sikong Zhaixing walked forward and took out the key to open the door. Jin Jiuling met his eyes and smiled friendly.

Sikong Zhaixing winked at him: Run!

Jin Jiuling didn't understand and still smiled with a hidden meaning.

He was Sikong Zhaixing's employer and the thief Xiuhua himself. But Sikong Zhaixing didn't know Jin Jiuling's identity as a robber. He helped Jin Jiuling only because he owed Jin Jiuling a favor.

After all, there will always be friction between the chief constable and the thief.

Jin Jiuling was very dissatisfied with Sikong Zhaixing's poor performance. If he suffered a loss, he could only say that his opponent was strong, but this man was carrying a basket of vegetables intact.

... Can't he come out to report to him while picking vegetables!

Jin Jiuling was very puzzled.

Seeing that his employer did not understand his hint, Sikong Zhaixing lowered his head to unlock the door, and began to look forward to what Chongming would say when he saw Jin Jiuling.

After all, Chongming said that he knew who had entrusted Sikong Zhaixing, and he would always have some reaction when he saw Jin Jiuling. Wuqing

looked at the vegetable basket in Sikong Zhaixing's hand, thinking, at least Sikong Zhaixing's treatment was not bad, which proved that the owner of Wanwu Building was a person who could talk.

Sikong Zhaixing pushed the door and led a few people into the house. Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Did you suffer a loss at the hands of the owner of Wanwu Building?"

Sikong Zhaixing insisted: "No."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said nothing, expressing his disbelief.

Wuqing asked, "Have you met him?"

Sikong Zhaixing nodded and said, "Yes."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "He is happy to see you."

Sikong Zhaixing said nothing, and sulked with a stern face.

How could he be happy? He was left out for a long time before he could meet him.
