"In the past five years, Lao Chang has been secretly investigating. Until not long ago, he tracked down the Cao family in Meicheng." When Xing Feng said this, he glanced at Shao Zilong and me.
We both held the soy milk and drank it without making any move.
"The Cao family has been prosperous in recent years, and is known as the most virtuous in Meicheng. However, such a family makes people suspicious." Xing Feng continued.
"It's just that the Cao family's work is impeccable. In order to further investigate, Lao Chang took advantage of Cao Junwu's opportunity to recruit people and got in."
"So that's it." Shao Zilong and I were both stunned.
Lao Chang looks ordinary and is very low-key. He really doesn't attract much attention among so many people.
Although I have dealt with him several times, I have never thought about it at all.
"Lao Chang was full of praise for you two." Xing Feng said again, "He said that it was thanks to the two of you who turned the tide in Shimen Village."
"Whatever it takes to turn the tide, it's all about the big guys trying their best." We both shook our heads like rattles.
You can't accept such a high hat.
"You two don't have to be too modest." Xing Feng smiled slightly, "Old Chang has a very good eye for judging people. Since he has praised both of you, it is absolutely right."
He paused for a moment and then said, "And according to Lao Chang, the two of you seem to be quite concerned about the Cao family?"
"Follow it?" I asked Shao Zilong, "Are you paying attention?"
"Why should I pay attention to that thing?" Shao Zilong shook his head while stuffing his buns.
Xing Feng glanced at the two of us, "I know we met for the first time today and there is no basis for trust yet, but since Lao Chang is optimistic about the two of us, I believe he will never misjudge the two of us."
"Come on, come on, let's eat first, it's already cold." I greeted.
"Okay." Xing Feng smiled and asked Wang Yixia to eat with the man without being polite.
I asked Haitang to pour some more tea, scratched his head and said, "By the way, we just talked about raising fish, and I remembered something."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Xing Feng asked.
"That's this fish. I remember that Cao's family had many Feng ponds with a lot of arowanas in them. Do you remember?" I glanced at Shao Zilong.
"I remembered what you said." Shao Zilong exclaimed, "I was still surprised at the time. Some people raise arowanas, but at most they only raise a few at home. Nothing like the Cao family. This pond is raised in pond after pond.”
"Yes, Lao Chang also mentioned this." Xing Feng said, "The Cao family has built a total of eighteen Feng ponds in the mansion, and all the ponds are filled with this kind of dragon fish."
"Because of what happened to the Ding family back then, Lao Chang was very concerned about the fish when he saw them. He secretly caught a few arowanas to check and found that these arowanas were different from ordinary ones."
"There are many varieties of arowana, including red dragons, golden dragons, green dragons, cross-backed golden dragons, etc., but the scales of Cao's arowana are flashing blue, there is a straight black stripe on the back, and the beard is longer than ordinary arowanas. Double that."
"Moreover, these arowanas swim extremely fast. With Lao Chang's skill, he almost missed when he first tried to catch them."
"What's more, is this fish still a spirit?" Shao Zilong clicked his tongue.
Xing Feng glanced at the two of us and said, "Lao Chang suspected at that time whether these arowanas might be raised spiritual fish."
"Spirit fish?" Shao Zilong and I were in disbelief, "Where do so many spirit fish come from?"
"This is indeed puzzling. Ordinary people have to try their luck if they want to raise cats and dogs to be spiritual. What's more, raising spiritual fish is even more difficult. If you really want to raise an eighteen-year-old cat like the Cao family, It’s almost impossible to find a spirit fish in a feng shui pond.”
"Unless..." Xing Feng paused for a moment when he said this.
"Ding family?" I was shocked and helped him say the next words.
"When you say that, this Cao family... is terrifying if you think about it!" Shao Zilong took a breath of cold air.
Xing Feng then said, "In addition to these eighteen Feng pools, Lao Chang also found dragon fish in the big lake of Cao's house."
"What does the Cao family want to do with so many arowanas?" Shao Zilong and I were puzzled.
"It's really hard to figure out." Xing Feng said, "I don't know what else you two have discovered. You might as well tell us about it."
"By the way, has Lao Chang ever been to Caoxian Temple in Qinglong Mountain?" I asked.
Xing Feng said, "I've been there, you should have been there at that time."
"Yes, I remember that time in Shimen Village." I nodded, "Did Lao Chang ever mention that there is also a Feng pool in Caoxian Temple, and there are many arowanas in it?"
"Oh? Lao Chang never mentioned this." Xing Feng frowned slightly, "I wonder where this Feng pool is?"
"It's in the inner courtyard of Cao Xianguan." I added, "At that time, we wanted to wander around, but we accidentally wandered into the inner courtyard, and we were kicked out."
"That's right, what the hell, it's like a thief guard, it looks like there's some treasure hidden inside!" Shao Zilong scolded.
Xing Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.
"By the way, speaking of Cao Xianguan, I forgot to tell you something just now." Shao Zilong stuffed a few mouthfuls of steamed buns and suddenly patted his head.
I asked him what happened.
"I heard from Xiaoyao that the Cao family has been in a lot of trouble recently, so tonight I am going to Cao Xianguan to burn incense and pray for blessings." Shao Zilong said.
"That's true. The Cao family has been in constant trouble recently. Even Boss Cao had a car accident. I don't know if he can survive." I sighed.
"I heard that Boss Cao may be gone." Shao Zilong lowered his voice mysteriously.
"No more?" I wondered, "What do you mean?"
"It just means... that he is dead." Shao Zilong said seriously, "There are rumors outside that Boss Cao has died a long time ago. It's just that the Cao family is fighting for property, so this illusion was deliberately created."
"Who did you listen to? Isn't it ridiculous?" I said with a look of disbelief, but I was secretly amused.
Tietou did have people spread this rumor, but it hasn't spread much yet. Shao Zilong said it was being spread outside, but it didn't exist at all.
"I also heard Lao Chang talk about this. Now even he can't figure out whether Boss Cao is alive or dead, and he doesn't know if he is still in the Cao family mansion." Xing Feng frowned.
At this point, he changed the subject and said, "I plan to go to Caoxian Temple tonight. If you two are interested, you might as well go there."
"It must be quite lively." I turned to Haitang and asked, "Do we have anything to do tonight?"
"Ah, um... I have to look through the book." Haitang glanced at me and changed her words.
"Then we'll see when the time comes." I said.
Xing Feng turned around and asked Wang Yixia and the man, "Have you all eaten well?"
"Eat." The two nodded.
"Then let's take our leave first." Xing Feng stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hospitality. We'll invite you next time."
After Xing Feng and others left, Shao Zilong also ran to the opposite side to help with the work.
I sent Haitang away and went into the basement alone.
