Brother Fang, you go out of the city from the waterway of the Whale Head Gang and go east, but it may take two hours to go to Lao Yu Village, and then go to find a person named Caiye. ”

Fang Ji naturally listened to what Brother Huai'er said, and went alone to see Brother Huai'er's old servant in the family.

Fang Ji knew that if the two of them entered and exited the city gate normally, they would inevitably be targeted by Yulin Jun and the emperor's people, so even if they went out, it would be in vain.

Even if Fang Halberd could shake them off, such an obvious action would inevitably make people suspicious.

Therefore, Fang Ji went directly to the Whale Head Gang as a "guest", and then took the Whale Head Gang's private boat out of the city directly from the Black Water.

The so-called truth that Brother Huai'er wants to know, I emphasize that it is quite important. What about Fang Halberd, he is naturally also a "sacrificial gentleman".

Of course, Fang Ji was actually very interested in the secret of the treasure that might be hidden.

What Fang Ji was carrying in his arms at this time was a handwritten letter from Brother Huai'er himself and a secret that only Brother Huai'er and this rich man knew.

And what Brother Huai'er wanted to know was the past when the current emperor first ascended the throne. And the purpose is to know where the book that may have treasured secrets came from.

"Fang Xiaoyou, wait until this brother of mine knocks on the board twice before you come out of this dark grid. If you knock it three times, it's an accident. Remember. Ma Tao arranged for Fang Ji to go out of the Whale Head Gang, and Fang Ji followed a shirtless tough guy to sneak onto the boat, and then was forced to jump into a dark compartment below deck.

Fang Ji smelled that it was all very fishy, and he knew that it was very likely that this place was used to put fish in the past.

This matter can be easily endured, but it is estimated that in the next three or two months, when you see the fish, you will want to vomit.

The plan went smoothly and nothing happened. Fang Ji obviously heard a sound of landing, and then heard two more knocks from the board, and then he got out of the boat and jumped onto the empty shore.

Waving goodbye to the tough guy brother again, Fang Ji left Los Angeles for the first time in a long time.

As for the boat back, it's the same old place, but it's already nighttime. Fang Ji looked at the time, with his footsteps, it took four hours for ordinary people to walk back and forth, and he could easily come back in less than two hours.

In other words, apart from these two hours, which are about four hours, the time of the halberd is still quite a lot.

At this time, Fang Ji looked at the somewhat "abstract" map drawn by Brother Huai'er, and went in the direction of Lao Xi Village.

The suburbs of Los Angeles are not very remote, and Fang Ji can even see a small shop resting.

But Fang Ji naturally didn't plan to go. At this time, he lowered his head and covered his face with a hat, which was regarded as passing through these places.

Who knows if these places will hide the emperor's spies.

Although Fang Ji could see who had a problem at the moment, it also meant that his departure from Los Angeles was exposed.

Fortunately, Fang Ji brought a few meat buns and a wooden kettle. It's that this meat bun has been "smoked" in the dark compartment on the ship for a long time, and no matter how you eat it, it seems to smell the fishy smell.

Along the way, the halberd only cared about hurrying, using light work and fast walking, and he came to Lao Ji Village in more than half an hour.

Although Lao Boiling Village is a small village, it also has a gatehouse, and it is written on it that it is Lao Boiling Village. Fang Ji knew that he had come to the wrong place.

This small village is a small place, Fang Ji thinks that there is no reason for the emperor's people to infiltrate here, whether it is from the perspective of cost or service, this is a waste of manpower.

Therefore, Fang Ji took off the hat at this time to ask a village girl who was carrying a hoe.

"Rich man? There is an old man named Cai Ye, there is a small ancestral hall in the village, where does the rich man live, what needs to be written about the birth, death and burial in this village, all of them are looking for you to tell you about this rich man. ”

This is roughly consistent with the information given by Brother Huai'er. It is considered that this rich man specially helped the village to ghostwrite, after all, this is ancient times, and there are many people who are illiterate.

Fang Ji thanked the village girl who looked a little strong, and went to the village.

When outsiders came to this village, these old children looked at him with some curiosity.

The environment of this old boiling village is good. Fang Ji knew that many young men in the vicinity of Los Angeles would choose to go to Los Angeles to make a profit, or sell vegetables and skills. It's almost dark to come back, and if you are strong enough to be a soldier in Los Angeles, it will be a good errand.

When outsiders came, it was inevitable that an old man would come forward to ask Fang Ji, and Fang Ji said that he was the descendant of a friend of the rich man, so it would be no problem.

"Rich man, you are also here to find him." At this time, an old man who interjected said such a sentence, which made Fang Ji stunned.

Also......

"Uncle, what do you mean, someone has also looked for the rich man recently?"

"It's not, it's also a descendant like you, probably yesterday." The old man spoke in a local accent, but fortunately, Fang Ji also understood what he said.

"Yesterday ......"

Fang Ji had some bad premonitions.

"Then have any of you seen this rich man today?"

Several old men shook their heads.

"This rich man often lives with a foreigner he has brought, and he is rarely seen in Pingsuri." An old man explained. "A person like him who has been away from the village for decades would really be hard to recognize if he hadn't checked his family tree."

Fang Ji heard Brother Huai'er say that this rich man had followed Brother Huai'er's grandfather a long time ago, and even served for a period of time when he was in Luo Hai, and he was a loyal servant of his old Luo family.

So it's really the sentence "When I left home and went back, my hometown accent has not changed, and my sideburns have declined".

When Fang Ji heard that someone had also come to see this rich man yesterday, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

At this time, Fang Ji came to the small ancestral hall of this old boiling village, which was where the rich man lived.

Fang Ji knocked on the door twice at this time, shouted to the rich man, and after a long time, no one came out to answer the door.

Seeing that there was no one around, Fang Halberd climbed over the wall and entered, pulling out a flying knife in his hand......

Fang Ji saw that the door of the inner room was open, and when he opened the door, he saw the corpse of an old man.

Sure enough, something happened......

Fang Ji sighed and shook his head.

This old man and the old men just now depicted eight images, and Fang Ji felt that eight or nine were inseparable.

After making sure that there was no one else here, Fang Ji looked at the cause of death, and he was blocked by a sharp blade.

It looks like a professional killer did it.

And Fang Ji looked at the corpse carefully at this time, but he was stunned.

At this time, Fang Ji stretched out his hand and tore off this person's beard with a snort.

Fake Beard ......

Fang Ji remembered what those old men said, this rich man lived with a foreigner.

Rich man...... Stranger......

Fang Ji reacted immediately.

This rich man really kept a hand.

Fang Ji knew that this rich man was actually fake, and the real rich man should be disguised as a so-called "foreigner".

In other words, it's a swap of identities! In order to deceive those who want to kill him.

So at this time, there is only the corpse of this fake rich man, what about the real rich man?
