Chapter Seventy-Three: What Happened to the Parents
Liu Feng saw that the house was full of dust, as if no one had cleaned it for several months.
"It seems that after I left, my parents left, where can they go?" Liu Feng thought secretly.
He rummaged through everything in the house, but found no clues.
"Go and ask Uncle Zhang next door. He usually has a good relationship with his father, maybe his father put something in his place, maybe he can't say. Liu Feng thought of this and rushed directly to Uncle Zhang's house.
Uncle Zhang's yard is made of green bricks, and at this moment his kitchen has risen green smoke, as if he is cooking dinner.
Liu Feng pushed open the gate and walked in, and found Uncle Zhang sitting in the courtyard, and his little daughter was also there.
Uncle Zhang heard the knock on the door outside, looked up and saw Liu Feng, and immediately said with a happy face: "Xiaofeng, how are you studying in the academy? Why did you come back all of a sudden?"
Liu Feng asked a little eagerly: "Uncle Zhang, I came back because I missed my parents, do you know where they went?"
"That's what happened. It seems that they were picked up by your mother's family, saying that they were going to live with relatives. Uncle Zhang said unhurriedly.
"Then the father has nothing left. Liu Feng asked again.
Uncle Zhang patted his head and said, "Look at my memory, if you don't say it, I forgot it." Your father has a letter left here for me to pass on to you. With that, he went into the house and took out a letter.
Liu Feng opened the envelope and looked at it, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that the letter said that his parents were indeed invited away by his mother's family.
However, Liu Feng thought about it again and felt that there was something strange in it. He thought about why they had found his mother's family and picked them up after he went to the academy for as long as he could remember.
Uncle Zhang saw that Liu Feng had finished reading the letter and asked, "What did your father say in the letter?"
Liu Feng reluctantly smiled and said, "It's nothing, my parents said in the letter that they went to live with relatives." ”
"That's good. Uncle Zhang was relieved when he heard that it was okay, "The meal is almost ready, you stay here and go home after eating." ”
"No, Uncle Zhang, I've already eaten outside. Liu Feng was worried about his parents, and he was in no mood to eat at all.
He said goodbye to Uncle Zhang, left Qingfeng Town, and prepared to rush to Nanzhou City, where his mother's family was located.
Two days later, Liu Feng stopped in a village near the city of Nanzhou.
It was noon, the sun was like a big fireball, scorching the earth mercilessly, there were scorching waves in the air, most of the rural people had returned to their homes, and the fields outside the village were long gone.
Liu Feng found a restaurant at the head of the village and sat down, which was already full of people, because this was the only way to get to Nanzhou City.
Seeing Liu Feng sitting down, the guy walked over and said, "Objective, what do you want?"
Liu Feng said: "I don't have any requirements for food, just be full." ”
The man answered, and walked inside, probably to prepare a meal.
Liu Feng drank tea while thinking about his parents. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that it was not that simple.
At this time, the conversation between the two diners next to him attracted Liu Feng's attention.
One person said: "The grandson of the head of the Zhao family has destroyed a small sect, do you know?"
Another said: "How could you not know that this matter has spread all over Nanzhou City." It is said that there was a beautiful female disciple in that small sect who was taken by that Zhao Gongzi. She didn't agree to Zhao Gongzi's unreasonable request, so Zhao Gongzi found some bullshit reasons and destroyed that sect. ”
"The guest officer is quiet, if the Zhao family's minions hear it, you will have to bear it. The guy came over with Liu Feng's food, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he hurriedly persuaded him.
When the two heard the man's words, their faces changed slightly, and they quickly closed their mouths. Obviously, they also knew the ferocity of the Zhao family.
When Liu Feng heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Man, which Zhao family are they talking about, why are they so domineering?"
"Guest officer, you're not a local, are you?" the guy glanced at Liu Feng in surprise.
Liu Feng smiled and said, "I'm just passing by here." ”
The guy lowered his voice and said, "There is only one Zhao family in Nanzhou City, and that is the Zhao family in charge of Old Man Zhao Xu. ”
Liu Feng's heart moved when he heard this, and he said secretly: "Isn't Zhao Xu his grandfather?" From his parents' letters, he already knew about his grandfather and four uncles.
Liu Feng said again: "Is the Zhao family all people like Zhao Gongzi?
The guy sighed and said, "It wasn't like this before. Since Old Man Zhao Xu was injured a year ago, and the family was in charge of his eldest son Zhao Tu, the Zhao family acted so unscrupulously?"
After hearing this, Liu Feng waved his hand, and the guy turned to leave.
After he had eaten, he got up and hurried to Nanzhou City.
Two hours later, Liu Feng came to the gate of Nanzhou City. I saw that the city gate was tall and wide, enough for ten people to pass side by side, and it did not appear crowded.
Liu Feng watched for a while and walked towards the city gate. Two guards stopped him and searched him, and when they saw nothing, they let him go.
Liu Feng walked into Nanzhou City, only to see that the roads inside were wide, the streets were neat, and there were all kinds of buying and selling shops on both sides.
He inquired about the address of the Zhao family, walked in the direction pointed out by passers-by, and after half an hour, he came to the location of the Zhao family.
This is a very wide area of residence, the gate is more than ten meters high, is made of precious mahogany, the plaque on the gatehouse, printed with a big Zhao character, the momentum is very majestic.
Outside the gate, there were sixteen nursing homes, all of them tall, red-faced, wearing long knives, and looking like they were all athletic people.
When they saw Liu Feng stop here, someone came over and asked in an arrogant tone, "Who are you, what do you want to do in front of the Zhao family's mansion?"
Liu Feng said: "I'm here to find my parents. Please let me know, saying that Liu Feng came to visit his parents. ”
"Liu Feng, come to your parents, what are the names of your parents?" one of them asked.
"My father Liu Yuming and my mother Zhao Jing. Liu Feng said lightly.
"Okay, you wait here first, I'll go and say goodbye. One of them left the house and walked deeper into the house.
Liu Feng stood here for half an hour before the nursing home came out of it.
He said with a gloomy face: "Boy, I went to report to Steward Zhao, he checked the list of personnel, and there were no two people you mentioned." I ran away in vain. ”
When Liu Feng heard this, he frowned slightly, there is definitely a problem here. But he didn't say anything, but turned and walked away.
Liu Feng found a hotel on the street to stay in, and he planned to explore the Zhao family at night to see what they were playing.
