And although Long Tianao concealed it well, Luo Ya also knew how to despair. She could see that Long Tianao was by no means an easy person. If the Jade Dragon Pearl is really in Long Tianao's body, then it will not be difficult for him to hide his martial arts skills. Therefore, Luo Ya deliberately accepted Long Tian'ao as her disciple because she wanted to find out the disciple behind him who betrayed her father.
Luo Fan came to the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion. At this time, Li Qilin, Bai Tianya, Lu Jinming, Wang Gong, and Li Sizhong were inspecting the scene with a group of detectives. Everyone was shocked when they saw Luofan appear. Li Qilin's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, and he shouted: "Oh my God, you are not dead? Your internal organs were all broken by Li Chaolou's beating, why are you not dead?"
The others also didn't believe it. Luo Fan said with a humorous smile: "Yiwen Pavilion is ranked among the three pavilions in Jianghu. It has a reputation of living dead and flesh and bones. Of course my little problem is nothing to them. Besides, Judging from that old guy Li Chaolou, he is still far away from killing me!"
Everyone looked amused, except for Li Qilin and Li Sizhong, who had dark faces. They were also members of the royal family, and Li Chaolou was their elder and head of the sect. Luofan scolding Li Chaolou was not a slap in their faces. However, they didn't dare to do anything even if they were slapped in the face. After all, Luofan's strength was obvious to all.
When Lu Jinming saw Luo Fan, his expression was pleasantly surprised. He hurriedly walked out of the crowd, paid homage to Luo Fan seriously, and said, "Brother Luo, you risked your own life to seek justice for my sister. This great kindness to me, Lu Jinming, will never be forgotten." , From now on, whenever Brother Luo gives you orders, I, Lu, will never refuse."
Luo Fan helped Lu Jinming up and said with a smile: "Hey, it's a trivial matter. That old bad guy Li Chaolou is even willing to kill his own son. I've wanted to beat him up for a long time. We are all brothers in the same division, so we can help each other." It should be. From now on, we won’t mention these things.”
Lu Jinming stood up and said with a smile, "Well, we will be brothers from now on."
Luo Fan looked at the crowd again and asked, "Hey, how is the investigation of these immortal shoes? Are there any clues?"
Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, and Lu Jin said: "There are no clues. Wang Luochuan also looked at it yesterday and couldn't see any clues. He said that the immortal shoes should have been taken away by an expert, and there are no clues worth noting."
"Oh, even Wang Shenzhen can't tell, so it seems that this case is really difficult to handle. Brother Lu, please introduce the case to me." Luo Fan.
Lu Jinming led Luo Fan to the kitchen of the side courtyard and said with a smile: "This little Marquis is also a weirdo. He usually hides Tiancui Immortal's shoes in the abandoned stove hole in the kitchen. According to him, he comes back every six months to see I glanced at the shoes, but when I came to check them five days ago, I realized that the shoes were missing. There were not many people in the palace. Except for the young Marquis Long Tianao, there were only the old housekeeper He Lian, a little maid, and two deaf-mute old servants. There must be no one left. None of these people have any martial arts skills and their backgrounds are very clean. They should have nothing to do with shoe thieves."
Luo Fan smiled and said: "We only check the shoes once every six months, which means that Long Tianao can't tell when the shoes were lost. It seems really difficult to deal with. If it had been stolen a long time ago, then the shoes would have been stolen long ago." There is no trace. However, King Tiandu is interesting. It’s just a pair of shoes, and it’s not a murder case. As for asking the entire Divine Catcher Division to investigate?”
Lu Jinming smiled and said: "You don't know something. The green immortal's shoes are one of the four treasures in the world. It is said that after wearing them, it can increase a person's cultivation speed a hundred times, and it can make people stay young. It is said that after wearing it, an eunuch can... That root can also grow back, which is very miraculous anyway. Long Tianao said that since the news of the immortal's shoes in the Hou Mansion has been spread, he has no ability to protect it. If King Tiandu can help him find it, he will Sold to King Tiandu for one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Speaking of this, Lu Jinming whispered in Luo Fan's ear: "It has been three years since King Tiandu got married, and he has more than a dozen concubines, but none of them are pregnant. There are rumors that King Tiandu has poor energy and is unable to survive." She is pregnant with an heir. So I guess he is looking for these shoes to recuperate his health."
When Luofan heard this, it was no wonder that even Red Dream Wolf came to look for the shoes. It turned out that he was pointing to the shoes to treat illnesses. He chuckled and said, "That's what needs to be done."
After thinking about it, Luofan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since King Tiandu has given the order, then Brother Lu, you can continue the investigation. Anyway, if the shoes are found, they won't be mine, so I won't get involved."
Lu Jinming: "Hey, Brother Luo, my father has been talking about thanking you in person for your generous action. Why don't you go to my house for a drink today? We will definitely entertain you."
Luo Fan: "No. You know, I have too many enemies, so I rarely eat with others for fear of causing trouble to myself and others. I will visit Senior Lu if I have the chance, so I will leave first."
Seeing Luo Fan leave, Li Qilin, Tian Tianya and others came over. Wang Gong, the son of the leader of the Tiejiao Sect, smiled and said: "Oh, that's amazing. I chopped off Li Chaolou's hand and he was fine. With Luo Fan here, the whole The atmosphere in Dragon City seems to have improved a lot, and now the major families don’t dare to show off their power when going out on the streets, for fear of falling into trouble and offending this god of plague.”
Bai Tianya hummed, "This Luofan is too crazy. Sooner or later he will become the target of public criticism. We'd better stay away from him."
After Luo Fan left Luoyang Hou Mansion, he had no intention of continuing to pursue the clues of Tian Cui Immortal Lu. Although it was just a few glances, Luofan discovered that Luoyang Houfu was not simple, or that Long Tianao was not simple. How could a prince who had been able to hide the shoes of an immortal for more than a hundred years lose his shoes so easily? What’s even more strange is that Long Tianao is an unfathomable person.
From Luofan's point of view, most of the time the green immortal shoes on the sky were intentionally released by the Young Marquis Long Tianao. It is unknown whether these immortal shoes exist or whether they were stolen. And he is now at the crux of the battle with the four major families, so he cannot be distracted by these irrelevant people. As for the Luoyang Marquis Mansion, it is better to leave it to Luo Ya for investigation.
Luo Fan knew that Luo Ya's vision was no worse than his own. Since she chose to stay in Luoyang Hou Mansion, she must have discovered something. Just send the secret guards to follow and help.
…
It was late and cold, and there were few people on the street. You could hear dogs barking and horses mingling here and there. There were still a few tables of drinkers enjoying their drinks on the first floor of Orchid Winery, but the second floor was as dark as ever.
Luofan sat drinking for a while, and then the dark master in black robe came quietly.
The two sat down opposite each other, and the dark master's voice was already indifferent, saying: "Congratulations, the Red Blood Sect has been destroyed, Li Chunjin has risen strongly, and you have another strong backer. Now Sima Yue has become the turtle in the urn, and the entire Dragon City is in your hands. "
Luo Fan smiled and said: "Hey, it's nothing. To the north, there are He Zheng, King of Ling in Leng City, and Liao Zhihua, King of Xiao in Leicheng. They are also threats. This time, Xue Yang suddenly took action to seize the guards and private soldiers of the four major families. , but doubled Liao Zhihua's military strength. If Liao Zhihua and He Zheng join forces in the future, it will be a big trouble."
The dark master said: "You always have a long-term vision. According to your instructions, I have found capable people and placed them beside He Zheng and Liao Zhihua for future support. What are your plans next?"
Luo Fan smiled and said: "The World Conference is coming soon, and there will be some trouble. I guess Sima Yue will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, but I still can't figure out how she will make trouble, but the finger will definitely be pointed at me and Li Benxin. Now I'm here Longcheng continues to help Li Benxin deal with the four major families, giving Li Chunjin and Qiuwen time to train their troops. Also, after the black and white meeting is over, it will be the wedding of Li Chunjin and Luo Tianyao. I will go there in person after their marriage. Yuyan Villa to grab the Yue Gang Bow. The day of the war will soon come. We will need a lot of gold and silver in the future. On the east solstice in three days, I plan to rob Yin Shaozheng's treasury. Prepare everything I asked you to prepare. Yet?"
The dark master nodded and said: "This time I have prepared three hundred carriages and five tunnels, which should be enough to empty Young Master Yin's treasury. However, I inquired about it and found out that Young Master Yin's treasury was built by Luo Quchi, the head of Jiulin Sect. Shield bunker. The outer walls and roof are made of steel walls several feet thick. One foot of molten iron is poured into the ground, and several feet of blue bricks block it. It is difficult to penetrate. In addition, four members of the Surangama Temple were invited to the bunker. An extremely eminent monk sits in the treasury every day to take care of it. Those four have practiced for a hundred years and have strong ears. If they try to break in by force, they will definitely be discovered."
Luo Fan chuckled: "No need to worry. I have already transported Sima Yue's Tianmen Divine Spear, which can penetrate the iron walls and blue bricks directly from the ground. Now the guards and private soldiers of the four major families have been eliminated. Even if they find something unusual, they can't deal with us. What's more, Master Yin's treasury can only be opened with three keys. These three keys are in the hands of Yin Shaozheng, his brother Yin Shaocheng, and the great steward Yin Changhe. On the day of the winter solstice , Yin Shaozheng will gather Longcheng merchants for a business meeting as usual, and they will have a big drink as usual after the meeting. At that time, you find a way to separate the three of them. In this way, even if the Yin family finds someone breaking into the vault, they will not be able to open the vault door Rescue. Also, on that day I will arrange for people to set off fireworks and firecrackers all over Dragon City to cover up the movements underground."
