"Young Master Lu."
"Huh?" Lu Jing stopped when he heard this and looked back at Yan Yun.
He originally thought that Yan Yun was going to ask him to confirm the authenticity of the fact that he could not cultivate the secret power, or to ask him about the mysterious disappearance of the cave, because in recent times, people who came to talk to him basically asked about these two things. .
However, Lu Jing did not expect that Yan Yun would ask a completely irrelevant question afterwards.
"Young Master Lu, are you from Wujiang City?"
Yan Yun said while putting away the pen and inkstone in front of him.
"Oh, strictly speaking, I am not a native of Wujiang City, but I did live there for almost three years." Lu Jing said truthfully.
This matter is not a secret, it can be found on the Tianji List.
"I heard that in Wujiang City, Shaoxia Lu, your reputation as a chivalrous person is very high. From merchants and officials to traders and footmen, no one knows your name. So much so that when you left your hometown for Beijing, the people who saw you off were all standing around. pier."
"Well, that seems to be the case."
"You must also know Mr. Zhao from the Tianma Escort Bureau, Mr. Lu, who is also a hero. I wonder, Mr. Lu, what is your impression of Mr. Zhao?"
Yan Yun had packed up everything on the table and finally got to the point. She looked up into Lu Jing's eyes and asked.
Lu Jing pondered for a moment, "Mr. Zhao, the golden escort and the brave man, is the number one person in Wujiang's martial arts world. Although he has washed his hands of others, the Tianma Escort Agency he founded is still the largest martial arts force in Wujiang City. No, to be more precise. It is said that he is very influential in the entire southern martial arts world.
"He acted very boldly in his early years. He made friends regardless of his origin, or even friends or foes. He valued righteousness over wealth, and had a clear distinction between good and evil. He is most famous for his battle with the Seventy-Two Villages entrenched in Ehu Gang.
The reason was that the bandits in the Seventy-Two Village not only robbed a batch of red goods from the Tianma Escort Bureau, but also later killed all the escorts who had abandoned their weapons and resigned themselves to defeat, breaking the rules of the green forest.
So Zhao Banshan led his men to kill the 72 strongholds, and finally slaughtered almost all the bandits in Ehugang, leaving only a group of women and children in the stronghold.
Some people advised him to eradicate the roots, but he simply refused to do anything and killed the bandits' family members together.
However, Zhao Banshan not only did not kill these women and children, he was even afraid that they would not survive the winter without men, so he sent someone to give them a sum of money.
And his clear-cut grievances and righteousness have also made him have many friends in both black and white circles. In the past two years, I was busy practicing martial arts, and my relationship with Mr. Zhao was not too deep. Most of the time we just met by chance in the city and chatted. A few words.
“But after several contacts, he gave me the impression that he is just like the rumors in the world. He is a heroic figure who is eager for justice, likes to support younger generations, and is quite heroic.
"Before I entered the first-class realm, he also expressed his intention to invite me to join the Tianma Escort Agency several times. After I declined, he did not deliberately suppress me, nor did he send anyone to secretly trouble me. Instead, he helped me Our masters and disciples are a little busy.
"Personally, I have a good impression of him. I wonder why Yan Nuxia suddenly wants to inquire about Mr. Zhao?"
Lu Jing was a little surprised. Although Zhao Banshan and Tianma Escort Bureau were very powerful, given Yunshui Jingci Pavilion's status in the martial arts world, it shouldn't be difficult to find out.
Although he and Yan Yun entered the academy together and were considered classmates, this was the first time they met, and they didn't have much friendship with each other.
Yan Yun came to ask him instead of looking for his master, which surprised Lu Jing.
Yan Yun hesitated after hearing this, and then said, "I have a distant cousin, the relationship is neither too far nor too close. In fact, we didn't have much contact with her for a long time. However, just about a week ago, I received a letter from her. Letter to Heng Kee Coffin Shop.
"The letter said that two months ago, her man took a secret escort trip through Tianma Escort Agency. She didn't know what the secret escort was carrying. She only knew that her man spent a lot of money in order for Tianma Escort Agency to take over the business. Ten thousand taels of silver."
Lu Jing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. For a large escort agency like Tianma Escort Agency, although the goods worth ten thousand taels of silver are not many, he should have encountered some. However, the shipping fee for a single item is It was probably the first time I encountered someone who offered ten thousand taels.
This handiwork can be said to be very amazing.
Yan Yun continued, "Her man only has one request, that is, the accompanying escort cannot open the package at the back of the carriage no matter what happens at any time.
"Tianma Escort Agency was hesitant about this business at first, but later Mr. Zhao, who had already washed his hands of the business, took advantage of the night to visit her man in person. The two talked for half an hour, and then Mr. Zhao made the decision to accept it. This dart.
"And the next evening, her man personally delivered the package to Tianma Escort Bureau, but... he didn't even come back with the goods."
"Three days later, her man's body was discovered in a ruined temple outside the city. She went to the Tianma Escort Bureau to confront him, but no one in the Tianma Escort Bureau admitted to taking her man's escort.
"Then she sued the government again, but the Tianma Escort Agency was very powerful in Wujiang City, and the golden escort and iron courage Mr. Zhao had too high a prestige, so the government could do nothing about it.
"It was just the prefect who came forward to have a casual meal with Mr. Zhao and inquired about the matter in private. After getting Mr. Zhao's denial, he stopped investigating."
Yan Yun also looked a little helpless, "I know it's a bit abrupt for you to suddenly ask Mr. Lu like this, but it's really hard for me to get much help from my master on this matter.
"First of all, this is my own private matter, and I don't want to disturb Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, because this may cause tension between Tianma Escort Bureau and Yunshui Jingci Pavilion.
"Secondly, I don't know what exactly my cousin's man asked the Tianma Escort Agency to escort. If this thing is found out, will it cause trouble for her...
"Dead people cannot be resurrected. No matter what the investigation results are, her man will not be able to live again, but she and her two children will continue to live, so I prefer to investigate this matter privately.
"But I also know that the Tianma Escort Bureau is very powerful in Wujiang City, and I am not a native of Wujiang. I am not familiar with the place, so I am afraid that the things I can find are limited."
Lu Jing suddenly realized, "You want to use my reputation in Wujiang City to help you investigate this matter?"
"That's right." Yan Yun did not hide it and admitted it generously, "Of course, I won't let you waste your efforts. I heard that you, Miss Xia, and Yang Shaoxia were punished by the Huang Prison to fetch the bamboo path because of the secret matter. Cutting bamboo, and I happen to know a few secrets about the bamboo used for bamboo trails.
"Besides, if Mr. Lu has any other requests, you can ask me," Yan Yun said, "As long as I can do it, I will try my best to help."
