"It seems that there may be a big fish hidden in this tax case."
Yang Dong took a deep look at Chen Dahu's mansion, and then said to Yu Xiaoyu beside him:
"Arrange a few skilled brothers to keep an eye on this fake guy. He must find a way to contact the outside world."
…
In the next few days,
Except for sending a letter to the capital, Yang Dong huddled in the inn and waited.
The young woman and Yao Jia worked hard to practice in Yang Dong's room.
In the past few days, Yang Dong felt that his subordinates were looking at him strangely.
However, he didn't care much about this. Instead, he was greatly surprised by the speed of these two people's cultivation.
According to common sense, even for a person with talent in cultivation, it would take at least half a year from feeling the existence of the power of Qi and blood to entering the realm of a warrior.
But the progress of the young woman and Yao Jia seems to be much faster than that of ordinary warriors.
In just seven or eight days, they successfully broke through to the warrior realm.
Although their foundation is too weak, they haven't had time to learn any martial arts skills. But the speed of cultivation alone is terrifying enough.
Yang Dong was even considering whether he should hire a famous teacher for these two people so as not to waste their talents.
But he was a little unsure whether their rapid progress in practice was due to their talent, the Qinglian Sect's skills, or... both?
Just as he was thinking, there was a cautious knock on the door.
"Master...are you busy?"
"What can happen in broad daylight?"
Yang Dong's face darkened, and he immediately opened the door and walked out. As a result, he happened to see Yu Xiaoyu staring at him with a wicked smile on his face. He immediately became angry and knocked the boy hard on the forehead.
"At such a young age, can you have a healthier mind?"
"Master, you are wronged!"
Yu Xiaoyu felt pain and couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Then he seemed to remember something and hurriedly said;
"Master, you are really good at predicting things! I just got news from our brothers who stayed behind, saying that it was the impostor who hurriedly left the mansion alone early this morning."
"Huh? Did you really take action?"
Yang Dong's eyes lit up and he immediately said:
"Come on, let's go over and take a look. Maybe we can find new clues."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaoyu immediately followed Yang Dong's footsteps.
…
An hour later,
Yang Dong and Yu Xiaoyu were sitting at a tea stall, sipping tea.
And their eyes were fixed on a pawn shop not far away from beginning to end.
"Master, you said this fake has been in for half an hour, but there's still no movement at all!"
"You have to be calm when doing things. If you are so restless, you will suffer a lot in the future."
Yang Dong opened his mouth to educate, but immediately frowned as well.
In fact, what Yu Xiaoyu said is not unreasonable. Logically speaking, sending a letter, even if it is done in person, shouldn't take so long!
He thought for a while and asked:
"Where are the brothers we are following? What's going on with them?"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaoyu stood up and walked towards an old locust tree not far away.
With a slight leap, he climbed to the top of the old locust tree. But the next moment, he seemed to have seen something extraordinary, and he suddenly jumped down from the treetop and rushed to Yang Dong.
"Master, something happened. Our brother was attacked by someone. We don't know whether he is alive or dead!"
"Damn, you were so careless!"
Yang Dong said angrily, and immediately arranged for Xiaoyu:
"You are responsible for rescuing our brothers and saving their lives no matter what."
"As for that counterfeit, I'll go find it myself!"
After saying that, he did not respond to Xiaoyu, and jumped into the pawn shop.
However, at this moment, the pawn shop was already deserted.
Yang Dong glanced around and couldn't help but clenched his fists. It can be seen that these people retreated very quickly and in an orderly manner, and almost no valuable clues were found.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly found the gold hairpin that the impostor wore last time between the bricks in the inner courtyard.
Yang Dong secretly thought something bad and immediately dispersed the power of Qi and blood in his body.
Judging from the current situation, this faker was obviously aroused by his own words. That's why I found this pawn shop.
However, people in pawn shops seem to be much more vigilant.
After hearing the lady's description, they already had plans to retreat.
Even... they plan to kill people and silence them!
Looking at the gold hairpin in his hand, Yang Dong knew that this counterfeit might be in danger!
But...where did they escape?
At this moment, a figure hurriedly came over. After seeing Yang Dong, he immediately knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists with both hands and said:
"This subordinate is incompetent, please ask Mr. Yang to punish him!"
"It's not your fault. Get up and speak."
Yang Dong helped the spy up from the ground with one hand, and then continued to ask:
"By the way, did you see where they left from?"
The secret agent thought for a moment and said:
"Reporting to Mr. Yang, the three of us were secretly monitoring from the northwest and south. But only the brothers from the south were attacked. Therefore, I suspect that they escaped from the south."
Yang Dong nodded, planning to go all the way south to track the whereabouts of the lady.
But just before he was about to leave, from the corner of his eye he suddenly caught sight of an ancient well in the inner courtyard of the pawn shop.
This ancient well looks like it has not been used for many years.
But he happened to find a broken jade bracelet at the mouth of the well.
Wait, are they trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Yang Dong frowned and immediately decided to go down to the ancient well to investigate.
So he jumped up and approached the ancient well. Then he mobilized all the power of Qi and blood in his body to explore deeply into the ancient well.
Sure enough, he detected the breath of a living person in the ancient well.
Yang Dong jumped down without saying a word.
Only then did he realize that the ancient well seemed to be deeper than he expected.
He fell in the air for about half a minute before he stepped on the ancient well.
The water in the ancient well has long since dried up, but the soil under your feet still retains a moist atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, there was a rotten and fishy smell. I thought this ancient well should still be the same as the outside world. This also confirmed from the side that these people in the pawn shop should have escaped from here.
Yang Dong looked around and found that the space at the bottom of the well seemed to be much larger than he expected.
Just as he was thinking about which direction he should explore, suddenly a scream came from one direction!
what happened?
Is it possible that there are differences among these people?
With a thought in Yang Dong's mind, the pace under his feet became a little faster.
