After hearing this, Feiyun quickly finished the meal with Tianxiang and Liangchen and left the restaurant. Feiyun walked a few steps and then asked Liangchen: "Second sister, do you think this group of people are from Longmen or Fengtang?"
Liangchen thought for a while and said: "Brother, I think it might be someone from Longmen. Fengtang doesn't seem to have the strength now. It's just that we can't be sure who Longmen will deal with next, otherwise we should rush to protect him."
At this moment, Liangchen saw two people walking in front of him. Good luck meeting Lu Mei and Zheng Bai. Liangchen was overjoyed and quickly stopped the two of them. Lu Mei and the others looked up and saw that it was Feiyun and the others who came over to meet them.
After Feiyun greeted the two of them, he said, "We meet you everywhere in life. I never expected to meet you two in the capital."
Lu Mei immediately asked Feiyun for help, saying that the escort car they were escorting had been robbed. Feiyun was shocked and quickly asked who had the courage to block the road and rob someone near the capital.
It turns out that the Bafang Escort Bureau recently picked up a escort and wanted to escort him to the capital. But Zheng Lang and Lu Tao were both in the capital, so Lu Mei and Zheng Bai had to escort them by themselves. Unexpectedly, when I arrived near the capital and hired a boat to cross the Yi River, I was intercepted in the river and demanded a large toll for crossing the river.
Lu Mei and Zheng Bai naturally refused to agree, but the other party not only had a large number of people, but also had strong martial arts skills. It didn't take a few moves to defeat the two men, seize the goods and threatened that sufficient river crossing fees must be sent within three days, otherwise the goods would belong to them.
Feiyun heard this and said angrily: "Who is so domineering and arrogant?"
Lu Mei told Feiyun that after they landed, they made inquiries and found out that it was the Yihecao Gang that was recently established in the capital. It is said that this gang has the backing of a big shot and is very arrogant and domineering. They quickly controlled the transportation of the Yi River and charged cross-river fees at will.
There are several very powerful masters in the Trough Gang, and no one else can be their match. They were so powerful and powerful that no one dared to offend them for a while. At first, some people went to file a complaint, but nothing happened. Later, no one dared to file a complaint.
Feiyun said quickly: "Meizi Lu and Brother Zheng, why don't we go to them to settle the score now?"
Liangchen quickly interrupted and said: "Brother, don't worry. Since the other party has people from the government as backers, we should also find people from the government to come forward. Don't you think so?"
Feiyun thought for a while and said: "In that case, let's go find Princess Yanmei! It's inappropriate to find someone else. She is Brother Liu Shui's fiancée, so she should be willing to help!"
Feiyun took everyone to Wu Qionghou's mansion. After seeing Wu Qiong, he told them his intention. After hearing Feiyun's story, Wu Ji became furious and said, "I thought the Cao Gang was just a group of people doing business in peace and order, but I didn't expect them to be so audacious that they dared to privately collect tolls for crossing the river. My sister-in-law is now on duty at the palace. , can’t escape. Don’t worry, I will go with you immediately. I want to see who it is that is so presumptuous.”
Soon after, everyone followed Wu Ji's bodyguards and ran towards the chief helmsman of the Cao Gang. Arriving at the main gate of Caobang, Wu Ji ordered the officers and soldiers to surround the main rudder, and asked people to shout for the people in charge to come out. After a while, a group of people walked out, led by a middle-aged man. Feiyun was shocked. This person was none other than Chang Qing, the former chief bodyguard of the Sihai Bodyguard Agency.
Chang Qing was in the emperor that day but his identity was not revealed. He escaped with his son Chang Xian and Shangguan Jian from the Iron Palm Gang. However, he did not dare to return to the escort agency and had to hide. Later, with the support of Wu Sansi, he established a gang to make money for Wu Sansi.
Chang Qing saw that it was Wu Ji, the commander of the palace guards, and secretly wondered, why did he bring his troops here? He hurriedly stepped forward, Chao Wuji saluted and said: "I didn't know that Commander Wu is coming, and I am not expecting you from afar. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar."
Wu Ji looked at Chang Qing and asked in surprise: "Mr. Chang, escort chief, how did you become a member of the Cao Gang?"
Chang Qing replied: "The business of the escort agency was not good, so I had to change my career. Now I am the leader of the trough gang."
Wu Ji immediately asked: "So you should be the one in charge?"
Chang Qing said: "Yes, I will be in charge of the affairs of the gang for the time being. What can I do for you, Commander?"
Wu Ji said: "How dare you collect river crossing fees privately and seize other people's goods? What's the point?"
Chang Qing pretended to be stunned and said: "This is absolutely not the case. How dare we charge any river crossing toll? We dare not detain the goods without authorization. Someone must be spreading rumors or wantonly slandering us." He actually denied it.
Wu Ji glanced at Lu Mei. Seeing Chang Qing's denial, Lu Mei hurriedly said: "A man dares to do what he wants. You have seized our goods, but now you don't dare to admit it?"
Chang Qing said: "Girl, we didn't do it, so we can't admit it. If you say we did it, there must be a basis for it, right? Look at the people here, who is the one who seized the goods?"
"This..." Lu Mei glanced at the people over there. It was true that no one had ever met her. It seemed that they had already made arrangements. Lu Mei didn't know what to say. Seeing that Lu Mei had nothing to say, Wu Ji couldn't help but get anxious.
Liangchen said to Feiyun from the side: "Brother, you might as well suggest Commander Wu to conduct a search."
Feiyun thought so and said to Chang Qing: "If you really didn't seize the goods, do you dare to let us search them?"
Chang Qing immediately understood what Feiyun meant. They refused to admit their fault and could not find the person who intercepted the goods. Wu Ji was in an embarrassing situation. Now Feiyun's proposal just solved Wu Ji's dilemma a little bit.
Chang Qing sneered and said, "Of course you can, but don't let too many people in. We have our own things inside."
Wu Ji nodded and said, "Of course."
Wu Li even arranged some smart and capable guards to follow Lu Mei in to search. But after searching for a long time, no trace of Bafang Escort's goods was found.
Chang Qing said: "Sir, I told you that someone is slandering our gang, and I ask you to take the decision to punish the person who falsely accused us."
Wu Ji had no choice but to say: "You don't need to tell me this. I will handle it myself. Come, take these two false accusers back and severely punish them, and then return the troops to the camp." Wu Ji waved his hand and the guards gradually withdrew.
After returning home to the Marquis Mansion, Wu Ji summoned everyone and said to Lu Mei: "I came back today because you didn't check clearly, which made me embarrassed. I wanted to punish you severely, because you lost the goods and were impatient. Spare you. Just go."
Feiyun, Lu Mei and the others had no choice but to thank them and leave. Liangchen said to Lu Mei: "Sister, I'm really sorry that I couldn't help this time."
Lu Mei said quickly: "You have tried your best. It was our lack of consideration that made you embarrassed."
Feiyun said: "It doesn't matter. Wu Ji is not a stingy person and won't care about anything. Let's go back to the hospital first and discuss it slowly. Miss Lu, I don't think you want to go back to the escort agency first, lest the two chief escorts Zheng Lu Worried." Lu Mei nodded in agreement.
Feiyun and others returned to the hospital, and Lu Mei and Zheng Bai took Renhe into the hospital to take care of him. Everyone then discussed together how to deal with the matter.
Tianxiang said: "Second sister is our little Zhuge, what's your advice?"
Liangchen said: "Sister Tianxiang is making fun of me again. Today we acted too recklessly and alarmed the snake. I think these people's behavior is very similar to Fengtang's style. Could it be that they are people sent by Fengtang?"
Feiyun thought about it and they were somewhat similar, but they seemed to be more cunning than Fengtang. It was obvious that these people had already developed a strategy to deal with the search for the guards.
Feiyun then asked: "Second sister, what good suggestions do you have?"
Liangchen said: "How about we go check it out tonight? Now we can only do it secretly. We have already appeared there during the day and there is no way to go."
Tianxiang said quickly: "You can let Qingxiang and Xiang'er go during the day, and let Big Brother and me go at night. Lu Mei and Zheng Bai are on call at any time. Sister Liangchen, what do you think?"
Liangchen thought for a moment and said, "I see it this way. Xia Feng, Qingxiang, Xiang'er, and Zheng Bai will monitor during the day, and Tianxiang, Big Brother, Lu Mei, and I will monitor the gang at night. However, no one can act without authorization. If any problems are discovered, they will report back in time. .”
After all, those who went to Cao Gang to investigate must have someone who knew the intercepted goods present, so Lu Mei and Zheng Bai had to be separated. After thinking about it, everyone had no objection. That night, Feiyun and Lu Mei took Liangchen and Tianxiang, changed into night clothes, and headed straight towards Caobang.
Fortunately, it was summer, and the moonlight was like water at night. The four of them took advantage of the moonlight to quietly approach the main helm of the Cao Gang. Feiyun said softly to Liangchen and others: "The three of you are here and ready to meet me. I can just go and check it out alone."
But Liangchen said: "Brother, let's go together. If anything happens, there will be someone to take care of you."
When they arrived at the main rudder wall, the four of them climbed onto a big tree and looked inside. But it was quiet inside. There were two teams of people patrolling back and forth in the courtyard, but no unusual behavior was found.
Feiyun checked for a while and then said softly: "You three are here to monitor, and I will go in alone to investigate. There are many people and it is easy to expose the whereabouts." The three nodded, knowing that with Feiyun's skills, it would be difficult for others to detect.
Feiyun jumped into the courtyard, dodging and approaching a lighted room. Near the room he arrived at, a man flew up against the wall and climbed onto the beam of the corridor. Another upside-down golden hook hooked his feet on the beam. He stood upside down and looked inside, and saw the gang leader Chang Qing talking to two people.
Chang Qing said: "I didn't expect Lin Feiyun to be involved in this matter. Let's be more careful in the future. Fengtang is very powerful, but we didn't expect that he would make him escape in embarrassment."
One person said: "Fengtang is just a woman in charge after all, so it is normal for them to fail. How can they compare with the gang leader? Didn't they just come back defeated today?" Another person echoed.
Chang Qing said quickly: "They underestimated us today, but we can't be careless. People patrolling outside should pay special attention to lest they sneak in while it's dark."
The man said: "Don't worry, gang leader, more manpower has been added outside. No one can get in. Besides, they didn't find anything during the day, so it's useless to come at night."
Feiyun took a closer look and realized that these two people were none other than Chang Xian and Shangguan Jian. Feiyun thought to himself that it was the two of them, no wonder Lu and Mei were no match.
