Chapter 31: Clues from Smith

Uncle De looked at Nie Feng's three lovers leaving him, smiled darkly, walked to Nie Feng's side, and pretended to comfort: "Nie Xian's nephew, girls, it'll be fine when they are angry." Shall we go back to the hotel now? ”

Nie Feng heard Uncle De's disgusting words, and said coldly, "Uncle De, didn't you just say that Smith had been escorted back to Hankou?" ”

Uncle De lied and said, "While you were talking to Miss Rong, a brother came to report that Smith's car had broken down in the middle of the road; I will not be able to escort him back to Hankow until noon tomorrow. ”

Nie Feng still asked coldly: "Uncle De, you didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

Uncle De smiled and said, "Nie Xian's nephew, look at what you said, you and my young lady already have the reality of husband and wife, your business is our Tongtian Gang's business, how could I lie to you?" Come, let's go back to the hotel and rest for the night, and I'll take you to see Smith tomorrow as soon as he arrives in Hankow. ”

Nie Feng didn't speak, dragging his tired body into Uncle De's car. After Uncle De sent Nie Feng back to the hotel, he drove Feng Lanlan back to the Feng Mansion and proudly reported his 'perfect' plan to his eldest brother Feng Ye.

At noon the next day, Uncle De drove Nie Feng to the Hankou wharf warehouse of the Tongtian Gang and met Smith. Nie Feng squatted down and asked, "Are you Mr. Smith?" ”

Smith sat on the ground, looked at Nie Feng in panic, and said in his not-so-fluent Chinese: "I'm Smith, I'm a legitimate merchant in the British Empire, why did you arrest me here?" "Who the hell are you?

Nie Feng said politely: "Mr. Smith, you don't have to be afraid, I didn't have any malice in inviting you here. Just wanted to ask you a few questions, as long as you answered them truthfully. I'll let you go. Will you cooperate? ”

Smith thought for a moment and said, "Okay, do you have any questions to ask?" Whatever I know will sue you. ”

Nie Feng asked softly, "You know the New Emperor Sect, right?" ”

Smith shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Nie Feng then asked, "Do you know a person who calls himself General Wei?" ”

Smith still shook his head and said, "There is no one named General Wei in my circle of friends. ”

Nie Feng said angrily and loudly: "A few days ago, you also traded a batch of arms with him, and you dare to say that you don't know him." ”

Smith hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, you mean Wei Maosheng, Boss Wei!" ”

"Yes, that's him." Nie Feng then asked, "Didn't you negotiate a deal at the Hankou wharf?" How did you suddenly change the location? ”

"Boss Wei said that there have been many wars in Hankou recently, and he was afraid that it would not be safe, so Boss Wei arranged for a transaction at the Huangpu Wharf in Shanghai." Smith replied.

Nie Feng confirmed this Wei Maosheng this time that he was looking for the General Soldier of the New Emperor Sect. Then Nie Feng said: "For this Boss Wei's situation, you tell me everything you know." ”

Smith panicked and said, "If I sue you for his details, I'm afraid that Boss Wei will call someone to kill me." ”

Nie Feng scolded loudly: "If you don't say it, I'll kill you now." Nie Feng then softened his tone and said, "I don't say it, if you don't say it, who will know that it was you who told the secret." ”

Smith was still a little uneasy and said, "I told you, you must not betray me." ”

Nie Feng vouched and said, "As long as I confirm that you didn't lie to me, I promise to send you out of Hankou safely." ”

Smith looked at Nie Feng and said slowly: "I have been in the arms business with Wei Maosheng for six or seven years, and he has resold all the arms he bought to some local reactionary forces. He had a 'Changhui' trading house in Nanjing, but he himself was not always there, and he was always taken care of by his housekeeper Wei Fanmin. He would tell me to send them there with a large number of arms. The rest, I don't know. ”

Nie Feng said smartly: "No, you have been friends with him for six or seven years, it's impossible, you don't know anything about his background and do arms business with him." ”

Smith gasped and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Seven years ago, I met him at a friend's drinking party in Hong Kong, and we had a good conversation, and he told me that he had come to Hong Kong to contact some black market arms dealers, and to build a large number of arms to form a sect, and when he talked about the payment, I was a little moved, and I told him that I could get a gun and that I could use our British Empire merchant ships to help him transport him to the big docks in the interior, and after that, we cooperated. Who knows, a cooperation is six or seven years. Once, I was drinking with him; I asked him what he wanted so many guns for, and he said it was one of their sect's businesses. The year before last, when I was drinking with him, he also told me that he was the cousin of Wei Changhui, the king of the North, and that his business house was now named after his uncle. Well, that's all I know. ”

Nie Feng thought: "It seems that Wei Maosheng is the nephew of Wei Changhui, the northern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Nie Feng then asked, "You didn't ask what his sect was called?" Who is the boss? Where is the headquarters? What was the purpose of their denomination?

"Of course I asked, and he said to me, don't know too much, it's not good for you; He also said that their canons were very strict; Do not disclose the slightest information about the sect to outsiders. He said he thought of me as a friend and told me a little bit. Smith replied.

Then, Smith asked in a terrified manner, "Brother, I have told you the truth, will you let me go?" ”

Nie Feng said sternly: "I believe what you said is true, but I can't let you go for the time being." In case you are released now; If you go and report to Wei Maosheng, then I won't be busy in vain. ”

Smith said in fear: "If you let me go after a month or two, Wei Maosheng will not be able to contact me by then, and he will not find out about me and arrest you." I'm going to die. ”

Nie Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry! It won't be long before I can get someone to release you in ten days at most. After speaking, Nie Feng didn't pay attention to Smith, lowered his head and thought about all the clues: "It seems that the New Emperor Sect and the Northern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are inextricably linked, they must have captured their great-grandfather for the treasure of the Wing King, but they don't have to kill themselves and Sister Lei's family!" And what are they recruiting everywhere for? And who will be the leader behind this New Emperor Sect? I and Sister Lei's great-grandfather don't know where they are now? I don't know if the gang killed them. "It seems that there are still many mysteries waiting to be solved by yourself.

Thinking of this, Nie Feng had a new plan. Nie Feng turned to look at the annoying Uncle De and said, "Uncle De, please send someone to help me take care of Smith, ten days later, when I think of a countermeasure, you will order someone to release him!" ”

Uncle De smiled kindly and said, "Virtuous nephew, what are you still polite to Uncle De?" Sooner or later, we will not be a family. ”

Nie Feng didn't pay attention to what Uncle De said, anyway, he already had a plan in his heart now.

Uncle De flattered and said, "Virtuous nephew, why don't we go back to the Feng Mansion and have a drink with Feng Ye; Chat with Miss, she misses you too. By the way, we will discuss and discuss countermeasures with this clue provided by Smith, anyway, your business is the business of our Tongtian Gang; As many people as you need, just order it. ”

Nie Feng dealt with Uncle De and said, "Wait a few days!" I'm in a mess now, and I'll go to visit Feng Ye when I think of a countermeasure. ”

The treacherous and cunning Uncle De thought about it: "Also, Nie Feng's three lovers just left him; Naturally, the mood will not be comfortable, so it's good to let him rest for a few days, anyway, just send someone to keep an eye on him; Don't let him run away, he won't be able to explain to Feng Ye when he hurts. ”

In fact, "I, Nie Feng, didn't think of going quietly (or relying on the rookies of the Tongtian Gang), which would also cause harm to Feng Lanlan; He will also have a grudge with the Tongtian Gang, after all, the Tongtian Gang also helped him catch Smith. Of course, it's certain to leave the disgusting gang of Tongtian Gang. It's just that he will think of a better way to deal with the two old bastards, Feng Ye and Uncle De. Nie Feng thought to himself.

At this time, Uncle De patted his ass again: "My good virtuous nephew, let me send you back to the hotel, right?" ”

Nie Feng replied simply: "Okay." Then he got into Uncle De's car directly.
