Chapter 183: Mrs. Tao's Troubles

"West of the city, peace pawnshop. ”

Xu Daoyun and Ke Yue glanced at each other and turned to leave.

Mrs. Tao watched the two leave, couldn't help but shed tears again, knelt on the futon, and muttered, "Xianggong... Rest assured, I will never let you die in vain. ”

Xu Daoyun and the others left the Zhuqiao study, immediately turned west along the main street, and after asking a few people, they finally saw the plaque of the peace pawnshop.

The two entered the pawnshop, and a pair of sharp eyes immediately appeared behind the desk, he looked at the two carefully, and suddenly opened a secret door with a "click" and walked out.

Xu Daoyun raised his eyebrows, this person has a good face, giving people a feeling of getting along very well.

"Where is He Feng. Ke Yue is still so neat and tidy.

The man stood in place, nodded and said, "I am He Feng, the two of you must be the masters of the Mystic Xuanmen, right?"

Xu Daoyun raised his eyebrows again, looked down at the identity jade plate hanging on his waist, and thought to himself that this He Feng really has some ability, and his observation is sharp, no wonder he can become Mrs. Tao's right-hand man.

"Yes, it seems that you must know something, can you tell us?" Xu Daoyun asked with a smile.

"Of course, the reason why I didn't tell Mrs. Tao was because I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control her emotions and set herself on fire, so I kept pretending to be stupid and stunned, and only waited for the masters of the Miaoxuanmen to come to help, so I dared to be honest. ”

"Do you know something?" Ke Yue's directness seemed to have penetrated into the bone marrow.

"Hmm. He Feng nodded, and his answer made him rush non-stop, for fear that the last insider would be killed, Ke Yue and Xu Daoyun, who were relieved, were glad that they didn't run in vain.

He Feng raised his hand to ask them to wait, signaled that the partition wall had ears, walked to the door of the pawnshop, held the door frame with both hands, poked his head out and looked left and right, and then slammed the door shut.

"Is it so serious?" Xu Daoyun muttered, thinking that if the person who planned all this realized that there was a surviving insider, he would have sent countless killers to break his body into thousands of pieces, how could he have let him live until now?

"Shut up. Ke Yue's voice was cold.

"Oh, yes. "Xu Daoyun obeys.

"Come with me, both of you. He Feng let go of his hand and stepped on the seventh floor tile to the left of the desk with the sole of his forefoot.

This pawnshop really has a secret door leading to the small hall, and the skillful craftsman is also relatively secret, unless it is a master of the mechanism who is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, ordinary people will not be able to realize that there is a hole behind this inconspicuous pawnshop.

Xu Daoyun muttered in admiration, "Wow, it's so secret, I didn't see that there was a secret door here." ”

Ke Yue glanced at the young man with the sword box on his back, and snorted coldly: "Rare and strange. ”

Xu Daoyun's smile was retracted and he was silent.

He Feng led the way in front and did not express his opinion.

The dark passage is dim and long, surrounded by stone walls on all sides, and the sound of feet stepping on the ground is particularly clear, echoing in this long dark passage, which is actually a little pleasant.

A stone wall was blocked in front of him, and He Feng groped with his right hand on the wall, chanting words in his mouth, and his fingertips slipped on one of the stone bricks and pushed it gently.

The stone bricks are sunken, the stone walls are raised, and the dim passages are illuminated.

Xu Daoyun raised his hand to cover his eyes, gradually adapted to the sudden light, opened his eyes, and suddenly opened up.

At the end of the tunnel, behind the stone wall is a small garden with beautiful scenery. Xu Daoyun originally thought that Dark Daohui would lead to a secret room with turbid air and stuffy underground, but he didn't expect it to be such a good place to be full of spring, but the contrast between speculation and facts really made his eyes shine.

He Feng re-closed the stone gate, and led two saviors who had traveled thousands of miles from the Star Pavilion to help into the garden, and came to a stone table, "Please sit down." ”

Ke Yue didn't say a word and sat down directly.

"Thank you. Xu Daoyun knew a little about the world, and said thank you before sitting down.

He Feng took a pot of tea and three teacups after a moment's departure, and said while pouring tea: "Thank you two this time, you have come all the way to Los Angeles to help, this kindness He Feng remembers in his heart, and he will repay him with a spring every day." ”

Xu Daoyun was about to speak, but Ke Yue said one step ahead of him: "I misunderstood, it is the master and Mrs. Tao who have some old friends, Mrs. Tao has passed the book for thousands of miles to visit the Star Pavilion, it stands to reason that this matter should have been handled by my master himself, but there are many trivial matters in Danshan, and I can't get out of it, so I let the two of me go down the mountain and help her on her behalf." ”

He Feng was stunned, he had followed Mrs. Tao's father-in-law in business for so many years, he had seen and dealt with all kinds of people, and he thought that he had something unique in this regard.

But a person like Ke Yue who doesn't understand the world, doesn't know how to be flexible, and has something to say, He Feng is really helpless.

Xu Daoyun rolled his eyes, thinking that Ke Yue had completed the task before, but he was afraid that his employer would be half angry with her unincapable temperament, right?

"Mr. He, tell me what you know. Xu Daoyun diverted the topic in time and also gave He Feng a step down.

He Feng filled Xu Daoyun with tea again, and his gratitude was clear.

"Twenty days ago, Boss Tao came to see me, we had some wine, and he told me that he had a big business to discuss tomorrow. As long as the negotiation is agreed, then you can monopolize all the rice shop business in Los Angeles, which is an incredible wealth, as long as there is no war, the monthly profit is enough to build another Zhuqiao study. ”

Xu Daoyun frowned, glanced at Ke Yue, and asked, "In addition to these, do you say anything else?"

He Feng nodded, "Yes." ”

Xu Daoyun was overjoyed, Ke Yue was also in good spirits, and the two said in unison, "Who?"

"The Xu family in the south of the city. He Feng was inexplicably a little enthusiastic.

Xu Daoyun took a deep breath and asked, "According to what Mrs. Tao said, after her husband died, the bones were examined, and the city guard sent someone to do the routine. Afterwards, Mrs. Tao raised the mystery of her husband's death and asked for an investigation. However, the city guard insisted that he died of the cold, refused to accept it, did not pursue it, cremated the body of Mrs. Tao's husband, and hastily closed the case.

"Hmm. He Feng nodded, and the green tendons on his temples were slightly raised, which was a manifestation of the hard bite of his teeth. He clenched his fists, his eyes were full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This Lord of Los Angeles has coveted Mrs. Tao for a long time, he is a womanizer, Mrs. Tao is beautiful and moving, and her body is plump and beautiful, so she will inevitably be remembered by the rich businessmen and giants in the city who are willing to spend a lot of money to change their tastes, among them, this city guard is the leader, Brother Tao's death is absolutely inseparable from him!"

Xu Daoyun and Ke Yue looked at each other, and they were very glad that the late Boss Tao had such a powerful right-hand man, who not only knew how to forbear, but also had a good brain, and learned a lot of clues from him that were worth studying.

The fact that the city guard covets Mrs. Tao's beauty alone is enough to prove his motive for killing, people are killing people to seize treasures, he is killing people and taking his wife, although there are some differences, but the essence is still the same.

"Looks like we're going to have to find a way to meet the castle keeper. Ke Yue said to himself, on the stone table, the tea with white smoke rising did not move.

He Feng said: "Don't, don't act rashly, in my opinion, let's think long-term, do everything before we start." This Los Angeles is no more remote than other cities, although there have been wars in the past, but decades of development and multiplication, this place is also a very prosperous and rich place. The city is gathered under its guards

Collected a lot of powerful characters, and was raised by him in the city guard. I also heard that he also has a good relationship with the bandits in several mountains outside Los Angeles, and there are his people on the trade routes in this aisle, and most of the business in Los Angeles also has a share of the city guard, which can really be described as covering the sky with one hand. Therefore, we must not be in a hurry, and discuss countermeasures slowly to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

Xu Daoyun nodded, "It's true that we didn't think it through, and we still don't know much about Los Angeles." If this matter is really involved in the city guard's mansion, then it is definitely not a matter that can be settled by justice, and I am afraid that it will still be a sword to face each other. ”

"Nonsense. Ke Yue glanced at him, "Seeing blood is inevitable, we can't go to the city guard mansion for the time being, first find a way to survey the periphery and spy on intelligence." ”

Xu Daoyun asked He Feng: "Do you have a sample map of the city guard, as well as the strength of the city guards, how to deploy them, how many masters have the city guards recruited, what kind of masters they are, I wonder if these can be detected?"

"This..."He Feng lowered his head in embarrassment, and suddenly stood up with a slap on the stone table, "Yes, I have a distant relative who is on an errand in the city guard's mansion, this person is oblivious to wealth, if I lure him with a lot of money, he will definitely be able to collect some useful information." ”

"Forgetting righteousness when you see wealth?" Xu Daoyun said with some concern: "This person's temperament is so unbearable, will it startle the grass and snakes and affect our plans?"

"Don't worry, Childe, I don't have any other skills, so I can talk about this mouth. Rest assured, I will not let him see anything unusual, but I will say that it is for another purpose, and he will not suspect it. He Feng patted his chest, full of confidence.

"You also need to be cautious, and if you can't be tempted, you should withdraw immediately, and don't be self-defeating. ”

"Well, I'll be careful. ”

"Ah, good tea. Xu Daoyun drank all the tea in the cup, looked up at the sky, and said: "It's almost time, senior sister, why don't we go back to the Zhuqiao study first, and take care of Mrs. Tao, but there can't be any mistakes at this time." ”

Ke Yue's red lips opened slightly, "It's okay." ”

"The safety of Mrs. Tao is left to the two. He Feng sent Xu Daoyun and Ke Yue out of the garden, went around a few streets before coming to the door of the pawnshop, saw them off, looked at their distant backs, clenched their fists, and the revenge was about to be avenged.

Back in the Zhuqiao study, Mrs. Tao was still wearing the filial piety clothes, although she was wide, she could not hide her beautiful figure. She is taller, half a head taller than Xu Daoyun, and her body is round and jade, plump and graceful. The pair of chests are plump and full, as if they want to tear the corset out, and the legs are especially long, making her look taller.

It's a pity to be widowed at a young age.

Xu Daoyun said secretly: "Everyone has a love for beauty, anyone who sees such a beauty will be moved, right?"

"Hmph. Ke Yue snorted coldly and scratched him, as if to say that if you look at it again, you will gouge out your dog's eyes.

Xu Daoyun hurriedly shifted his gaze to the scenery on both sides, hung his head, and thought to himself, how could this senior sister Cheng, who loves knives like an obsession, have such good eyes?

"The two of you are finally back, are you any gain?"

Serving tea and pouring water, her voice trembled when she was questioned, and she could be heard both expectant and afraid.

"Hmm. Xu Daoyun nodded, "He Feng told us everything, and now he has an approximate goal to track." It's just that this matter is very important, and all aspects involved are quite complicated, so it can't be solved so easily, and it needs to be considered in the long run. ”

The beautiful woman was overjoyed, put down the teapot and knelt on the ground, and as soon as she bent her slender waist, she was about to kowtow, "I ask you two to do your best to help me and avenge my husband." Afterwards... Afterwards, I will agree to all the requirements and conditions, and I will never complain!"

"Really?" she knelt at Xu Daoyun's feet, causing him to accidentally see the plump snow white in the collar of Mrs. Tao's filial piety dress, trembling.

Xu Daoyun retracted his gaze and stabilized his mind.

Since Huancheng and Yuewei were entangled for a few hours that night, his self-control seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, which was not a good thing, at least he thought so, so he wanted to forcibly change it, and Xu Daoyun also believed that he could do it.

Ke Yue saw it in his eyes, and the foot under the table was kicked out with lightning without mercy.

Xu Daoyun almost fell to the ground with a chair, his left calf was about to break, he gasped and couldn't speak in pain.

Mrs. Tao was stunned at first, and didn't understand why this beautiful and powerful girl who didn't like to talk suddenly kicked people.

The sun sets, and the night breeze gets colder.

The cold wind blew, Mrs. Tao's chest was cold, and suddenly her face was red, and she hurriedly raised her hand to block her chest and grabbed her collar, and her crying eyes were full of grievances and resentments.

Xu Daoyun was extremely embarrassed, he didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere, and he didn't know how to use his smug three-inch incorruptible tongue on weekdays, covering his calves, looking at his nose and nose.

Ke Yue glanced at him, snorted coldly, and helped Mrs. Tao, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, to help up, who was also an old man who was known to the master, so he should be polite.

Mrs. Tao was already delicate and soft, and she was tired from crying because of the death of her husband, and all her strength was used to crying, her legs were weak, and she couldn't stand steadily.

She sat down on the wooden chair beside Ke Yue, her lower abdomen was flat, and her chest rising from the ground looked more and more magnificent, only teaching people to hate to die in this pair of gentle villagers.

"Mrs. Tao, I..." Xu Daoyun wanted to ease the atmosphere.

Mrs. Tao leaned sideways.

Ke Yue glanced at Xu Daoyun and said to Mrs. Tao: "Mrs. Tao, please rest assured, since the direction of the investigation has been determined, we will definitely investigate to the end until we find out the real culprit who killed your father-in-law." ”

"Hmm. The plump Mrs. Tao nodded lightly, leaning sideways to Ke Yue's side, her pretty face full of tears was full of gratitude, "Thank you Miss Cheng for your help, also... Thank you, Mr. Xu Daoyun. ”

"You're welcome. ”

"Mrs. Tao is polite, this is what we should do. Xu Daoyun grinned.

Mrs. Tao wiped the tears of joy from the corners of her eyes with her bare hands, left the wooden chair, and said softly: "I'll take the two of you to rest and wash the dust on your body." ”
