Chapter 140: Take the initiative
The elder of the Taiyin Sect was assassinated, even the bigwigs on the Longmen list who were entrenched in Yong'an City tried their best to clear up the relationship, such a thing was avoided, how could anyone rush to wade into this troubled water?
Otherwise, what would be the face of the Taiyin Sect, which ranked sixth on the list of the Dragon Gate? The elders of the Taiyin Sect, whose status, fame, and martial arts were not low, were assassinated silently in this way, and the entire Taiyin Sect was extremely furious! It was not safe for the elders in the sect to walk around outside, and when the other disciples were training in the rivers and lakes, where would there be any safety at all? Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of the Taiyin Sect?
After Wu Haoren, the leader of the Taiyin Sect, got the news, he immediately used the lightning eagle carefully cultivated in the sect to deliver the handwritten letter, and the letter was quickly delivered to Wu Qichang, who was far away in Yong'an City. There are two letters, one is addressed to Wu Qichang, so that he can be more restrained, and he must not provoke right and wrong during the extraordinary period; the other is written to Fan Beiyan, the lord of Beiyan Mountain City, with a strong tone, asking the other party not only to quickly track down the murderer, but also to wipe him out by thunderous means, and if there are accomplices, they must be eliminated together!
Why didn't the government go to the government to track down the murderers, but to find the Jianghu sect? Because Beiyanshan City was a puppet sect set up by the imperial court in the rivers and lakes, there were some things that the government could not come forward to solve, and they could do it for them. This is something that the super forces in the rivers and lakes know very well, the so-called rivers and lakes are in trouble, my Taiyin Sect has an accident on your territory, I will solve it with you, you must give me an explanation!
Although this kind of behavior is very unreasonable, if your person is dead, what does it matter to me in Beiyan Mountain City? Although Fan Beiyan was aggrieved, he had to do it. On the one hand, Wu Haoren's letter was sent to the palace, and on the other hand, he summoned the people of Shancheng to investigate the matter thoroughly.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye understands that this is the Taiyin Sect showing its attitude to the imperial court, forcing the imperial court to find the real culprit, if this matter is not solved perfectly, don't blame me for not giving the imperial court face!
Such a domineering act, even without taking the imperial court in its eyes, can only be done by such a high-ranking super force. Even if the forces that don't have enough weight lend you a hundred dares, they won't dare to offend the imperial court, and if the imperial court doesn't like you, it won't be a matter of minutes to destroy you? However, those profound forces on the Dragon Gate list, especially the super forces that are among the best, are not among them. If they are not happy, it will not be difficult to bring down your rule and choose someone else to change the dynasty.
Of course, the imperial court did not dare to slack off on these forces, and even bent flattery to protect their interests. This also led to these super forces flying in front of the imperial court, commanding and commanding, and the imperial court dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and everything could only be done according to the other party's wishes. One can imagine how aggrieved the big figures in the imperial court were in the face of such a thing! However, no matter how good or uncomfortable you feel in your heart, these superpowers often take the opportunity to deliberately put pressure on the imperial court, first, to urge the imperial court to do things seriously, and second, to remind the imperial court not to ignore the existence of superpowers. One of the mysteries is very intriguing!
It didn't take long for Beiyan Mountain City to really find a clue!
The murder weapon when the Taiyin Sect elder was killed was found, this is the upper part of an extremely ordinary long sword, in the process of fighting with the Taiyin Sect elder, the long sword was broken by it, but he still couldn't dodge the fatal blow, and his throat was slit.
Died of exhaustion.
However, this long sword is too ordinary to be built in any blacksmith shop in Yong'an City, and the physical evidence that seems to have made significant progress has become meaningless, and the process of finding the murderer has reached a dead end.
Beiyanshan City didn't dare to drag things out for too long, so it could only treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and sent his subordinates to ask in various blacksmith shops in the city with half-truncated swords.
It's a pity that most of Yong'an City has been in vain. When the people from Beiyan Mountain City came to the Guangren blacksmith shop, of course Boss Zhu did not admit that he had seen this sword, and in fact he had not built it, so Boss Zhu's denial was full of confidence and did not arouse any suspicion from the people who looked at the inquirer.
However, when Ye Heng saw the broken sword, he was suddenly shocked in his heart! He continued to watch quietly, and only then did he relax after learning that Murong Jun was not exposed. This sword was clearly bought by himself for Murong Jun in Wuling City, and Ye Heng would never admit his mistake.
It turned out that the person who assassinated the elder of the Taiyin Sect was Murong Jun! Ye Heng immediately understood in his heart why Murong Jun disappeared during this time, it turned out that she had already begun to take revenge on those who had assassinated her!
My sister has already taken action, shouldn't I also take action? Even if the movement is not big, it is a great achievement to be able to confuse the public, so that Murong Jun can be protected from the side. Thinking of this, Ye Heng returned to the warehouse and pulled Erniu to help him build some of the things he needed.
When night fell, Ye Heng returned to the small courtyard with all the items he had just built, hid them under the bed, and went out to buy a few sets of outfits. Returning to the small courtyard again, Ye Heng first went to the west wing room to take a bath, and then changed into a luxurious blue robe.
Ye Heng planned to dress himself up as a rich child, so he specially bought a belt with gold and jade, and the folding fan in his hand was purchased in a famous treasure store, and the fan bone of the folding fan was made of precious ivory in the southwest region, and these two things alone cost nearly a hundred taels of silver, so that Ye Heng had to sigh that luxury goods could not be consumed! You must know that the rent of Ye Heng's small courtyard was only five taels of silver a year, if it wasn't for helping Murong Jun, he was really reluctant to spend so much silver to buy these luxury goods.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Ye Heng stepped out of the small courtyard, and the street in front of the door was obviously deserted a lot. During the day, there are so many people coming and going that you can't take a few steps if you want to, and at night, there are not many people on the whole long street, let alone walking fast, and you don't have to worry about running into people even if you roll on the ground with your eyes closed.
Ye Heng walked in a walk, he knew that even if there was no one on the street, as long as you found the right place, it would be a different scene, the premise was, you must have money!
After walking through three streets, Ye Heng came to the destination of this trip. Several ornate carriages stopped in front of a compound made of blue bricks and tiles, which is the most famous green building in the vicinity, "Fengqi Tower".
The middle gate of the Fengqilou compound is wide open, and two huge stone carvings stand on the two gates, and the courtyard is lit up with colorful lights, and the lights are bright! Different from the cold street outside the courtyard, there are many shadows and shadows in it, and it is very lively.
Ye Heng stood outside the gate, his eyes swept left and right up and down Fengqi Tower, only to see that the first floor was the most lively, with all kinds of characters from the three religions and nine streams, the second floor was mostly private rooms, each of which was brightly lit, and the third floor was very quiet, and there was a lot of trouble
The meaning of tranquility is to be a gold cave prepared for high-rollers.
When an old bustard with heavy makeup saw Ye Heng, his eyes lit up, and he clearly saw the happy appearance of the gold owner. The old bustard immediately came out of the crowd and walked towards Ye Heng, shouting happily in his mouth: "Which mansion is this handsome son?
At the same time, he opened his throat towards the compound and shouted: "Girls, come out quickly, welcome the son!"
Immediately, Yingying Yanyan ran out of a few girls with flowers and branches, and invited Ye Heng into Fengqi Tower. Although Ye Heng pretended to be calm, he was actually very nervous in his heart. Dragged into the first floor by a group of young girls, he found a free big table and sat down, and without waiting for Ye Heng's instructions, the girls immediately helped Ye Heng order drinks and dishes. It didn't take long for it to be served on the table one after another.
On the wine table, several girls immediately toasted enthusiastically, and some people took the initiative to help Ye Heng pick up the vegetables and feed them, all saying that Gentle Township is a hero's mound, if it weren't for the strength of his mind, it is estimated that Ye Heng would soon not be able to find the north and fall into it.
After the initial nervousness, after a few glasses of wine, Ye Heng sobered up a lot, relaxed, and began to take the initiative to talk to the girls.
The space on the first floor is large, and there are many people who drink alcohol, so there are inevitably people who like to talk highly. The assassination of the elder of the Taiyin Sect is a major event that has happened recently, and it must be one of the topics that people talk about, Ye Heng listened attentively while drinking with the girls, and soon he collected a lot of important information.
Those who like to behave in front of others, under the influence of alcohol, are even more forgetful, in order to highlight themselves, but also to attract the attention of the girls, a lot of secrets will be taken out to become their talking points. As long as others fan the flames at the right time, and by the way, a few more compliments, you will even have unexpected gains.
There was a white-faced thin man who knew at a glance that it was a white-faced thin man who was overly drunk and was arguing with people, talking about the Taiyin Sect, arguing about the red-faced and red-eared things, Ye Heng pretended to be drunk, and provoked in the distance: "You brag! The Taiyin Sect is a hegemon, and their people come to Yong'an City to do business, and their whereabouts must be extremely secretive, how can you know? Where you live, it is impossible to tell outsiders, you actually say that you know?
The white-faced thin man was anxious and angry, slapped the table hard, stood up, stepped on the chair with one foot, and shouted, "Who said I don't know? As he spoke, he told the Taiyin Sect where the rest of the people were staying, and many people were still coaxing, but Ye Heng was obsessed with it and firmly remembered the address in his heart.
With this crucial information, the purpose of Ye Heng's trip was completely achieved. After drinking with the girls around him for a while, seeing that it was dark outside, Ye Hengtui said that he was not strong enough to drink, and left Fengqi Building as if he had settled the account and fled.
Coming to a secluded alley, Ye Heng quickly took off the blue robe on his body, revealing the black clothes he wore inside. Wrapping the changed clothes and tying them on his back, Ye Heng immediately ran towards the address that the white-faced thin man said.
