Chapter 40: The Mysterious Kong Ying

As soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, just like duckweed on the water, sometimes, they are very close to each other, but as long as the water waves are rising, the distance between each other becomes insurmountable; sometimes, they are far away from each other, even far away from thousands of rivers and mountains, but as long as there is fate, after a hundred turns and thousands of times, they will eventually intersect together. Just like the relationship between Ye Heng and Kong Ying, it was already doomed.

After the battle with Bai Ruyu, why did Kong Ying leave, and why did Ye Heng cover it up? There must be something else hidden here.

It's just that because Xiangyunzhuang was anxious to get an investigation into the White Horse Villa incident, Zhou Dashao immediately reported it after learning of the real murderer, and Kong Ying's death was nothing more than a bird to him, a good bow to hide, the death of a cunning rabbit, and the inevitable result of a lackey's cooking, so he didn't care about Kong Ying's life or death, let alone have the heart to delve into it. After all, if you really investigate things related to Kong Ying in detail, it is easy to find out Zhou Dashao's head, so he tried his best to downplay Kong Ying's death in the most downplayed way. In this way, it is a fait accompli that Kong Ying is dead. However, since Kong Ying left Xiangyunzhuang in this way, where would he go?

Jiangyang Prefecture, one of the richest and most powerful states in the Shuntian Empire, is located on the west side of the Shuntian Imperial Capital, like the western gateway of the imperial capital.

The state city of Jiangyang Prefecture is called Wuling City, looking at the entire Shuntian Empire, there are very few state cities that can compare with Wuling City, and among all the state cities of the Shuntian Empire, the comprehensive strength of Wuling City can definitely rank among the top three! And the weapons produced in Jiangyang Prefecture are even more famous in the entire Tianyun Continent.

It was past noon, and the city of Wuling was still full of traffic, and there were crowds of people. There are both foreign business travelers and local people, and some of them are fierce and carry weapons, which are obviously people in the martial arts. Many people continue to come and go in the major weapons stores, among which there are many people who come to seek real magic weapons, the business of the major famous stores can be said to be booming, in short supply, however, the famous wind and rain building is deserted at this time, and no one patronizes.

No one patronizes it because the weapons sold in Fengyulou are not good, any kind of weapon, as long as it is marked with the word "Fengyulou", even the ordinary mortal iron will be worth a lot, and it is worth a fortune! But Fengyulou does not sell mortal iron, Fengyulou only sells fine products! Any weapon sold here, even if it is only a three-inch-long flying knife, it will cost at least a thousand taels, not silver, it is really yellow and heavy gold!

Even so, no one has ever said that the wind and rain building is a black shop, and no one has ever said that the price of the wind and rain building is too low, and many people even think that the price of the wind and rain building is too low, and it should be raised by at least 50 percent on the basis of the current price! This kind of statement has surprised many people who have not been to the wind and rain building, and there is something wrong with these people's brains? How can anyone take the initiative to ask for a price increase when buying something? However, as long as you have seen the weapons sold in the wind and rain building, as long as you have used the weapons produced in the wind and rain building, you will know that this statement is true, and what you said is very pertinent!

No matter where you come from, no matter what your identity is, you are always a customer here when you come to Fengyulou, and you must abide by the rules here! Even if the two parties who come at the same time are enemies who kill their fathers and wives, they love to fight and kill outside, once they enter the Fengyu Building, not only can they not do anything, but they can not quarrel, but they must also be quiet, and they can't speak a little louder! Even if you are a relative of the emperor, even if you are a famous hotel in the rivers and lakes, you are an ordinary customer when you enter the wind and rain building, and you have to abide by the rules here!

The rules of Fengyulou are actually very simple, the first one: a fixed price, no counteroffer! The shopkeeper here is a very strange person, he said how much is how much, even if the shopkeeper said that this broken knife sells for one billion taels of gold, you don't have to say much, just buy it and simply pay the money, take the things and leave after paying the bill. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the broken knife in the shopkeeper's mouth is at least worth this price, and even this price is only the reserve price! If you have any objections, or hesitate to pay the money, or even bargain, the shopkeeper will immediately turn his face, and if the business is not done, you will be swept out of the house immediately!

It is said that the owner of the Fengyu Building is happy and quiet, and he lives on the third floor of the Fengyu Building, but no one has ever seen what the real owner of the Fengyu Building looks like, and who is it! Those who enter the Fengyu Building are noisy, no matter how famous they are, no matter how big the business is, the Fengyu Building will not do it! What is even more serious is that once they make noise or use force here, they will be permanently blacklisted by the Fengyu Building, and all business contacts will be cut off from then on! Over time, the people who came here didn't even speak loudly, let alone dare to use force here, unless it was the old lady who ate arsenic-frost and was impatient-

Article 3: Cash settlement, pay off on the spot! If it is an ordinary business, it will be tens of thousands of taels, or even hundreds of millions, and the minimum standard must be settled in gold! Buyers who can pay such a high price will certainly not be ordinary people, and will not be easy to provoke, despite this, Fengyulou still does not buy anyone's account, as long as you fancy the things here, you will not pay on credit, you must settle it on the spot! That's how the rules are set, if you want to buy things here, you have to follow the rules here, even if you come from the distant Yingtian Empire or the more distant Chengtian Empire, and the turnover on hand is not effective for a while, if you can't settle in cash, Fengyulou would rather not do your business, and it will never break the rules set here!

Of course, the rules are set by people, and there are people who want to break the original rules. There used to be many people who did not believe in evil and did not abide by the rules here, and there were many people who were strong in martial arts, but within three days at most, these people would be punished, either dying inexplicably or disappearing without warning. People suspect that it was done by the wind and rain building, but there is no evidence that these things are related to the wind and rain building, the more so, the more mysterious it is, the more people are wary of the wind and rain building, and the more wary it is, it will give rise to awe, and the more people dare to fight the idea here!

Dong Ba was a great thief in the green forests in the northern part of the Shuntian Empire, with more than 2,000 men and horses under his command, and he was the king of the mountains in the Chuanyun Ridge in Beihai Prefecture. The state capital of Beihai Prefecture sent a large army to exterminate it, and sent troops five times before and after, at most 50,000 troops at one time! But in the end, Dong Ba was still alive and well, but the army of Beihai Prefecture suffered heavy losses. Dong Ba cut off the heads of 13 people with a ghost-headed sword, and the commanders of Beihai Prefecture who directly attacked him were terrified and panicked, and they no longer dared to send troops to encircle and suppress them! Dong Ba's reputation was even more prosperous because of this, and there was an endless stream of people who went to take refuge, and the number of men and horses on the Cloud Ridge soon reached tens of thousands! Who would dare to provoke such a person? Who would be afraid of such a person?

Therefore, after Dong Ba and his elite soldiers patronized the Fengyu Tower, he not only broke all the rules here, but also robbed all the weapons, all the money and even other valuable things were looted, and before leaving, he smashed the signboard of the Fengyu Building, and then Dong Ba took a column of his subordinates to laugh and ride a horse to the dust! From beginning to end, the people in the wind and rain building just stood in the corner and watched quietly, no one stopped them, and no one stopped them, as if they didn't see anything. Many people think that the wind and rain building is over, and some people even start to prepare to buy the wind and rain building to make another plan, because the location of the wind and rain building is really good, just in the center of the most prosperous area of Wuling City, here, do any business will never lose money, and it will definitely make a lot of money!

But only one night later, the signboard of the Fengyulou was not only hung up again, but all the things that were snatched by Dong Ba the day before yesterday were returned to their original places, and all the decorations were exactly the same as before! Moreover, the signboard was remade by the people who pierced the clouds with golden silk nanmu, which was more than one grade higher than the previous plaque; the things were sent back by the people who wore the clouds and the mountains themselves, and the people who returned the things were all in order, cautious, and did not dare to say anything, and put the things they had just snatched back to their original places one by one respectfully!

Only after the incident did news come out that after Dong Ba returned from Fengyulou, his ass had not yet sat back in his overlord chair, and his head had moved! Since then, the forces on the Chuanyun Ridge in Beihai Prefecture have changed hands. Someone with good deeds once went up to inquire and found that Dong Ba's original power was intact, but except for a few people in the entire high-level of the cottage, all the others had changed their faces, as for who became the real master here, even the middle-level cadres in the cottage didn't know, because it was the original second leader who came forward to take charge of Chuanyunling, and only he had a connection with the real controller, but how could he make the truth public?

After that, Chuanyunling seemed to have changed its nature, no longer robbing houses and houses, no longer harming one party, and became the protector of one party, and began to sweep away other green forest forces! When the state government learned that Chuanyunling had undergone such a change, it was naturally happy to keep its mouth shut, and where did it still have the heart to investigate what was going on? As long as it could benefit one party, the imperial court would be lazy to care whether the forces in Chuanyunling were surnamed Zhang or Wang, and this matter became a mystery case in the Shuntian Empire.

Of course, there are many people who speculate that this matter is related to the wind and rain building, but the wind and rain building has never admitted it, and there is no evidence that the matter is related to the wind and rain building, but since then people have realized that the wind and rain building is very deep-rooted, and here, it is still honest and good, and you still have to abide by the rules!

Of course, not everyone thinks so, such as Ouyang Yi! The Ouyang family is a family of martial artists in the Shuntian Empire, and it is also a big family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and half of the military power of the Shuntian Empire is in the hands of the Ouyang family. Ouyang Yi is the eldest son of the Ouyang family, the pride of the sky, and the dragon among men! If Ouyang Yi takes a fancy to something, people with a heart must not deliberately stammer, and give it away with both hands?

After the reputation of Fengyulou reached Ouyang Yi's ears, he took a few masters in his family and quickly whipped from the imperial capital to Wuling City. When I came to Fengyu Building, I just walked around the store, and I didn't ask the price, just threw down a silver ingot, and swept away the ten divine weapons I liked. Of course, for Ouyang Yi's domineering behavior, no one in Fengyulou intervened.

Ouyang Yi went from entering the building to leaving the building in less than a quarter of an hour! Although the time was small, the impact of this incident was tantamount to an earthquake and tsunami!

You must know that Ouyang Dagongzi was speeding along the way, and even on the main street of Wuling City, he did not slow down, and the vendors' stalls were knocked into scattered places where he passed, and they were in a mess! Many people were at a loss for the sudden change, and they couldn't dodge the seven meat and eight vegetarians who were hit. At that time, when Dong Ba came to rob, he had sneaked into the city in advance, and only fled quickly after the robbery was completed, but now as soon as the eldest prince of Ouyang entered the city, he was full of storms and storms, and after "buying" things, he did not hurry up and walked out of Wuling City in a leisurely manner, lest others not know what a great thing he had done. It's really turbulent when you come, and calm and relaxed when you leave!

The vast majority of people think that Fengyulou must have been planted this time! Just because of Ouyang Yi's identity, Fengyulou has to endure it! Offending Ouyang Yi is equivalent to offending the Ouyang family, and it is equivalent to offending half of the Shuntian Empire.

The day after Ouyang Yi left, the Ouyang family sent back the ten pieces of divine weapons in a complete and unbroken manner, not only that, but on the third day of the incident, the Ouyang family also specially sent someone to send 100,000 taels of gold to apologize for the incident, and it was only the shopkeeper in the store who received them, and ordered Xiao Er to move the things into the building, and ignored the person who sent the money at all, and did not even entertain the tea, and sent them home directly. How could the Ouyang family have ever suffered this kind of treatment when they went out to run errands? But not only did the person who gave the money not get angry, but he didn't even dare to let out a fart, and turned around and left in a hurry as if he had been amnestied.

It is said that Ouyang Yi and his entourage were stopped by people sent by the family halfway through, and after throwing down a piece of silver, several people were stripped naked! It is said that someone bought all their clothes with a single ingot of silver, just like Ouyang Yi threw down a piece of silver to buy a divine soldier, and he did not give Ouyang Yi a chance to speak at all! Several people returned to the family in a hurry after dark, and they never went out again. What was the reason for the Ouyang family to make such a decision? You must know that the big family often regards face as more important than money when doing things, and now they have lost both face and silver, but they have not even made a statement afterwards, which is really intriguing! So various versions of the statement have spread all the way, and no matter what, people have only one conclusion, that is, the wind and rain building is not easy to mess with! After entering the wind and rain building, they will abide by the rules of the wind and rain building!

After these two incidents occurred, the forces of all parties living in the town and the nobles of the family could not suppress the relatives of the emperor and the important ministers of the court, such as the crown prince of the dynasty! The Ouyang family was a resolute supporter of the crown prince, and after suffering such a great loss and losing such a big face in Fengyulou, the Ouyang family not only died down, but also did not mention this matter to anyone. But you are the crown prince, and you are called the queen long live the lord, how can such a thing be hidden from his ears and eyes. His own supporters have been wronged, no matter what the reason, the prince has to come forward, get back the face lost by the Ouyang family, and get back the gold that the Ouyang family compensated!

However, the crown prince just started to explain this matter, and before he really took action, a holy decree came down, directly extinguishing all the thoughts of the prince, and the holy decree made it very clear, if the prince dared to move the wind and rain building, his prince's position would be moved! Not only did the prince not expect it, but others did not expect that the emperor of the Shuntian Empire would make a big move for a small wind and rain building! Therefore, the prince can only endure, the face is a big matter, and the relationship between the throne is greater, and the prince does not have the courage to lose his position in order to get back face! However, although the prince's trouble with Fengyulou was not implemented, the news still spread at the top. This is even more surprising, how did a small Fengyu Tower get such a terrifying strength, and it can actually make the emperor of the Shuntian Empire come forward for it? In this way, who else dares to make a mistake? Who else dares to disobey the rules of the Wind and Rain Building?

Correspondingly, very few ordinary people dare to enter. It's not that the service in the wind and rain building is not good, but the things in the building are too valuable! Ordinary people go in and look at the price that is like an astronomical amount, the whole person will be dizzy; the real buyers will not have it every day, for the wind and rain building, there is only one word to do, that is, wait! It doesn't matter if you wait for three or five years, because even if it is not open for three or five years, it doesn't matter, but as long as it opens, the profit from the worst business is at least enough for the wind and rain building to eat and wear for ten years!

Therefore, it is not surprising that the famous wind and rain building is deserted!

However, after saying goodbye to Ye Heng, Kong Ying appeared in the Fengyu Building two days later! Moreover, after Kong Ying entered the building, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er did not treat people as coldly as usual, but greeted each other with a smile, very enthusiastic, and it seemed that the relationship was not bad. Kong Ying didn't stay in the store for long, and when he entered the building, he stepped on the stairs and went straight to the third floor.

After a long time, two words faintly came from the third floor: "What!?"
