After the discussion, Lin Tongxi took Chen Yunxuan to a dilapidated temple, where they lit three incense sticks and offered some fruits to the statue.
The next morning, the two went to the ruined temple again and met someone they had met before - Wei Zhuangzhe.
"Brother Gan asked me to look after you for a few days. Now you have run into some difficulties. Tell me how you want me to help you." Wei Zhuangzhe held a copper coin in his hand, played with it for a few times, threw it into the air, and then caught the coin steadily.
"Brother Wei is very powerful, please escort me out." Lin Tongxi immediately made the request.
According to Gan Xingfan, Wei Zhuangzhe is a member of the world's number one intelligence organization, Night Crow Manor, and his abilities are no less than his.
"Hey, can't you let Yue Lingyun escort you? He has the strength of a ninth-grade martial master and can protect you." Wei Zhuangzhe felt it was troublesome and wanted to refuse the request.
"Haha...Brother Wei, aren't you interested in the three crazy people from the Pang family?" Lin Tongxi decided to exchange the information about the three crazy people in the file.
Hearing the name "Pang Family," Wei Zhuangzhe became interested. His superiors happened to be at odds with the Pang Family, and he needed an excuse to deal with them.
"Also... Lord Gan said that he paid you a lot of money. As a member of Night Crow Manor, you shouldn't take the money and not do the job, right?" Lin Tongxi continued to ask.
"Oh, except for Gan Xingfan, no one dares to talk to me, Wei Zhuangzhe, like that!" Wei Zhuangzhe smiled, put away the copper coin he was playing with, and agreed to Lin Tongxi's request: "Okay, I'll help you with this!"
Chen Yunxuan, standing by, saluted on behalf of Lin Tongxi and then thanked Wei Zhuangzhe: "Thank you for your help, Brother Wei. After this crisis is over, I will prepare a generous gift for you, Brother Wei."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about the rest later. Let's get going quickly. I don't like to dawdle." After Wei Zhuangzhe finished speaking, he urged Lin Tongxi to set off.
After reaching an agreement, Lin Tongxi went to Chengtian Academy first.
Chengtian Academy is the most important link, so he must go there first.
"Huh? Master Lin is going out? I wonder where he is going." An officer recognized Lin Tongxi and asked a question.
Facing the other party's question, Lin Tongxi replied calmly: "Guangyang County."
"Oh... so you are looking for Magistrate Gan! Okay, please go." The officer nodded, then respectfully invited Lin Tongxi to leave the city gate.
After Lin Tongxi got on his horse, he did not head towards Qingshi Village and Guangyang County, but ran to a village outside the city.
Under a big tree, there was a man waiting.
"Hello, I was introduced by Brother Wei." Lin Tongxi met an old man with a pot of wine in his hand.
"Oh? It's that Wei who has a poor alcohol tolerance...what's that? Never mind. Just drink with me, an old man first!" As the old man spoke, he dragged Lin Tongxi into a residential building.
The force was so strong that Lin Tongxi couldn't resist at all.
The room was filled with the smell of alcohol, and Lin Tongxi felt as if this place had been soaked in alcohol for decades.
As soon as he entered, Lin Tongxi felt that he was a little drunk and could not walk steadily.
How did Wei Zhuangzhe get to know this alcoholic old man?
"You... can't drink even more than him!" The old man mocked the young man in front of him while drinking.
Not long after, Wei Zhuangzhe also arrived in front of the residence and met up with Lin Tongxi.
"Hey, Wei boy is here! Come on, have a drink!" The old man picked up the wine jar and drank it down with a gulp.
Wei Zhuangzhe put on the mask Su Ruoxue had developed and sold to block out the odor in the room, and then cursed the other party: "Stinky old man! You still have the same problem!"
"Wine is the best thing in the world...it makes me forget my worries...burp...it makes me happy..." After saying this, the alcoholic old man actually fell asleep on the table and even snored.
“…” Wei Zhuangzhe really wanted to kick him, but considering that the opponent’s strength might kill him, he gave up the idea.
"Hey, old man, I have some clues about something that happened many years ago. If you don't want to listen, then we'll leave." After Wei Zhuangzhe finished speaking, he planned to pull Lin Tongxi away.
Hearing what Wei Zhuangzhe said, the old man suddenly woke up, quickly stood up and blocked the door, his eyes became clear: "Are you talking about Yibei Village?"
"Of course." Wei Zhuangzhe answered firmly.
"Tell me." The old man no longer held the wine jar casually as before, but looked at the two of them seriously.
Seeing that the old man was no longer immersed in drinking, Wei Zhuangzhe stopped his contempt and asked Lin Tongxi to repeat the story of the three lunatics.
After finishing speaking, Wei Zhuangzhe added an introduction to the background of the Pang family.
"The Pang family, right... I'm going to set off now and make them pay for their blood debt with blood!" The old man was furious. He picked up a wine jar at random and crushed it with just one blow.
"Old man, if you kill them, the clue will be broken!" Wei Zhuangzhe reminded the old man: "There must be a bigger fish behind this. If you take action, the big fish will probably get away."
"There must be a reason why I brought this kid to see you... You can ask Chengtian Academy to investigate, at least it won't scare away the leader of the Xianhun Sect. As far as we know in the village... he is in Xiangzhou." Wei Zhuangzhe told the old man his thoughts.
"Well, that makes sense. Since I've waited for so long... one or two more times won't make a difference." The old man touched his white beard and finally calmed down.
Then, Wei Zhuangzhe made a request to the old man: "Old man, we have already given you the information you requested. In return, you should give us that treasure, right?"
"Hmph! Come in! I'm hiding inside." The old man stood up and went into the house.
