Chapter 457, Ma Qiufeng, three sentences
Lu Feng came at the wrong time this time. Chi Mei was the only one in Ye Yu Hall, and Lu Feng also learned from Chi Mei that Gui Ling had been looking for him.
Finally, Lu Feng casually selected two batches of silk and satin, came to the counter, and had a polite conversation with Chi Mei to settle the accounts, deliberately pretending to be seen by the person who was following him.
After leaving Yunluo Jinxiu Shop, Lu Feng walked towards Baihua Garden, deliberately pretending to be lazy and careless.
It was lunch time, and an opera had just been performed in Baihua Garden. Lu Feng casually found a seat by the window and sat down.
Lu Feng noticed that the person who had been following him also walked into Baihua Garden and sat down not far away pretending to be casual.
Lu Feng immediately changed his mind about meeting Gui Ling and pretended to be watching the show seriously. However, he looked at the person from the corner of his eye. After some recollection, he recognized the latter's identity. It was Zhuo Heng. Son, Zhuo Jinxiong.
What is the intention of the people in the City Lord's Mansion following me? Could it be related to Chai Tong's death?
Lu Feng had some doubts in his heart. After watching an opera carefully, Lu Feng walked out amidst the cheers and cheers of the crowd, found the person in charge of the opera troupe, and discussed with him for a while.
Zhuo Jinxiong didn't dare to get too close. He waited until Lu Feng left before quietly walking into the backstage of the theater troupe and making inquiries.
"Invite the theater troupe to the prison to perform and celebrate?"
Zhuo Jinxiong couldn't help but laugh as he listened, and couldn't help but secretly laugh to himself: "Teacher Jin seems to be a little too vigilant. Such a corrupt prison officer who is lazy and enjoying himself, how can he need to specially monitor and investigate?"
Lu Feng returned to the prison and explained to Wang Wei and others that they had invited the Baihuayuan troupe to celebrate the solution of the case in the evening.
After hearing this, Wang Wei and others felt that something was wrong and secretly felt that it was too high-profile, but they did not raise any further opinions. After getting along with each other for this period of time, they began to trust Lu Feng more and more, and believed that every move he made had a reason.
…
In the evening, inside the city lord's mansion.
In a quiet secret room, Zhuo Heng, Zhuo Fuan, and Zhuo Jinxiong were sitting on one side. There were also several prominent figures present, including the head of the Zhao family, the head of the Chai family...
Jinxuan was sitting in the front seat with a trace of anger on his face. Those people who were very famous and majestic in the outside world had their faces downcast at this moment and did not dare to say a word.
Zhuo Jinxiong boldly said: "Teacher, are we too cautious? I've been staring at him for a whole day, and he doesn't look like a shrewd person. I guess what happened this time is just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse." Nothing to worry about.”
"Ha~" Jinxuan sneered: "It's nothing to worry about? Do you know how much effort I spent to get that Ice Memory Illusion Array? Have any of you heard of this array before?"
"Is he not shrewd? If he is not shrewd, he can know the Ice Memory Illusion Formation? If he is not shrewd, he can pin the suspicion on Chai Mansion, who knows Yin Feng Tong? If Master Chai hadn't understood the sacrifice of the ego for the sake of justice, what might have happened this time? Damn it, if the prison chief intervenes, all plans will be in vain."
Jinxuan slapped the table angrily, while Zhuo Jinxiong turned pale and remained silent. Master Chai's face changed slightly, and he didn't know if he felt guilty for Chai Tong's death.
"If it weren't for your incompetence that led to the former prison officer Xia Xuhua being targeted for investigation by the spiritual prison, how could we be in today's situation?" Jinxuan looked at Zhuo Heng with dissatisfaction, "After all this time, a small prison officer has I can’t decide, what’s the use of you!”
The corner of Zhuo Heng's mouth twitched and he said in panic: "Sir, please calm down. You don't know something. That man has many tricks, or there may be someone with help from an expert behind him. The villain's father once attacked him secretly, but ended up with a tragic death. It's really... …”
"I don't want to listen to these nonsense," Jinxuan shouted angrily: "People have noticed it over the Dongyuan Mountains. The plan must not be delayed any longer. Lu Feng will definitely leave Tianyuan City in a few days. This is your last chance."
"Yes!" Zhuo Heng said in horror, but he had an extra thought in his heart. Yesterday, he rushed to the scene where Zhuo Xiu died in the battle. After a search, he found traces of the blood clan's actions, the 'blood energy' and vicious methods. He would not be wrong. For a moment, there was a gap in his heart.
As for Qingdingmen, Zhuo Heng did not find any toxin residue at the scene, but was a little suspicious.
It is suspected that someone from the vampire clan is impersonating the Qingdingmen and harming Zhuo Xiu.
…
As night falls, the prison is full of people and bustle. The Baihuayuan troupe has set up the stage and all the props for the performance are ready.
Some wealthy gentry and nobles in Tianyuan City, upon receiving the signal from Chai Zhao Erfu, came forward to congratulate them, and Wang Wei and others did not stop them.
Lu Feng sat in the center seat, surrounded by Wang Wei and four other people.
Zheng Ba said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so proud. Not only did you invite the theater troupe, but you also invited the most popular female actors and actresses today."
"Oh?" Lu Feng looked at Zheng Ba with a smile and joked: "Are you very familiar with Baihua Garden?"
Zheng Ba smiled sheepishly and explained, "Your Majesty, I'm so pleased with this. I went to find out more about it."
Xing Qi raised his head and looked at the figures on the stage, and asked, "Who are all the young actors and actresses?"
Zheng Ba proudly explained: "The Huadan refers to the seven-faced and exquisite Hua Ling'er, and the Xiaosheng refers to the fair-faced young boy Luo Yutang. Although they both have big painted faces, they are both handsome men and women in private."
"Luo Yutang?" Lu Feng was stunned. He knew that Hua Ling'er was Gui Ling. However, Lu Feng had never seen this fair-faced young boy in Baihua Garden many times. At this time, he heard Zheng Ba mention it. I couldn't help but think of Luo Yu'er. Back in Qinglong Town, wasn't she just a woman disguised as a man and transformed into an actor?
Lu Feng muttered "little boy with a white face". Even his name had not changed. He thought it was the same person, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. Luo Yu'er came to Tianyuan City with Ma Qiufeng. As long as he found Luo Yu'er, he might be able to know Ma Qiufeng's whereabouts during this period.
This 'banquet' lasted for nearly two hours. During this period, Lu Feng had an encounter with Gui Ling. Gui Ling hurriedly reported something. She discovered Luo Yutang's identity as a woman disguised as a man, and also discovered that the latter had He secretly broke into the prison once and suspected that she had some intentions.
After the banquet, Wang Wei and others were responsible for seeing off the guests. Lu Feng came to the prison room alone, deliberately freeing up a private space.
Sure enough, not long after Lu Feng was alone in the room, Luo Yu'er sneaked over while there were many people watching.
"Sir," Luo Yu'er was still wearing a costume and pretending to be a man, but her voice was no longer disguised and returned to the clear and gentle tone of a woman.
There was a trace of sadness on Luo Yuer's face. Although she had a very resolute face, she looked a bit pitiful.
"I heard that you came to see me before? But what trouble did Brother Ma encounter?" Lu Feng asked bluntly.
Luo Yu'er took out a letter from her arms and said, "This is the letter he sent me a few days ago.
, I could no longer contact him after that. I guessed that he might have been taken to the Dongyuan Mountains and was temporarily unable to escape. "
Lu Feng spread out the letter, and there was still a lot of dirt on it. It must have been left by a special way of sending messages. Lu Feng did not ask about it in detail.
The handwriting on the letter was scrawled, and the words were scrawled directly with graphite. The brushstrokes were urgent, and it was obvious that the writing was very panicked.
'Zhao Mansion has been controlled by the vampire clan. '
'The Zhou Mansion is still in Tianyuan City. '
'The vampires in the Dongyuan Mountains are doing something strange. '
There were only three simple sentences on the paper, but the message conveyed was shockingly terrifying.
Luo Yu'er said softly: "Brother Ma sneaked into the Zhao Mansion. Originally he just wanted to check if there were any blood clan forces, but now the entire Zhao Mansion is a blood clan... I'm worried about him..."
Lu Feng consoled him, "I'll find a way to visit the Dongyuan Mountains in a few days."
Luo Yu'er felt slightly better after hearing this. If Ma Qiufeng hadn't repeatedly asked her to stay, saying that the latter would distract her and cause a drag, she would have sneaked into the mountains long ago. She was really worried about asking Lu Feng for help now. There is no other way.
Lu Feng looked at the second sentence on the paper and asked, "What does Brother Ma mean when he means that the Zhou Mansion is still in Tianyuan City?"
Luo Yuer shook her head and said: "I have been in Baihua Garden during this period, and I have not heard anyone mention the matter of Zhou Mansion. This is also a very strange thing. It stands to reason that even if Zhou Mansion has moved out of Tianyuan Cheng, those merchants who had dealings with him in the past should also occasionally mention it, right?"
"Is it true that the Zhou Mansion is still in Tianyuan City? But this is unlikely," Luo Yu'er said with confusion: "The houses belonging to the Zhou Mansion in Tianyuan City have now been bought by other merchants."
Lu Feng's expression was a little solemn, thinking about the information sent back by Ma Qiufeng. If Zhao Mansion has been controlled by the Blood Clan, then judging from the performance of the Chai Mansion, I am afraid that Chai Mansion has also fallen into the hands of the Blood Clan.
If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that...all the commercial and economic industries in Tianyuan City are basically controlled by the vampires?
What is the purpose of the vampires? You don’t just want soul coins and money, right?
Even if Tianyuan City is controlled, it won't get much cultivation resources, so why bother so much?
Lu Feng had some difficulty understanding the vampire's intentions. Fortunately, Tianyuan City was such a large area and had such a large population. No matter how powerful the vampire was, they could not control everyone.
Luo Yuer asked curiously: "Brother Lu, do you know what the vampires are doing lurking in the Dongyuan Mountains?"
Just as Lu Feng was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone approaching. Luo Yu'er immediately 'escaped' from the window on one side and returned to the troupe.
The person approaching was Xing Qi, and he came to report that the guests had basically been sent away.
Lu Feng was still thinking about Luo Yu'er's question, guessing that the reason why the vampires lurked in the Dongyuan Mountains was probably because he and Wu Yingye broke into the city lord's palace and leaked the map of the Kuang Tomb.
The vampires are surveying the location of Kuang Kuang Tomb!
Whether it was for Ma Qiufeng or to steal the Kuang Tomb, Lu Feng could not just sit idly by.
For this reason, Lu Feng had no choice but to hand over the prison to the hands of Wang Wei and the others again.
"Don't worry, sir. After Chai Tong's incident, our prison has established its prestige, and those young people will not dare to cause trouble in the short term."
Wang Wei and the other four promised swornly.
