Chapter 8: Get a Clue
At noon, Xian Wenjie showed his pass several times along the way and led Nie Feng to the base camp of the Gui army --- the Governor's Mansion. The Overseer's Mansion sits in the heart of Guicheng, and the gatehouse is full of soldiers; All of them are loaded with live ammunition. There is a cannon on each side of the gatehouse. There are 6 guards standing at the door, who are responsible for inspecting visiting vehicles and personnel; Everyone who enters must show their ID.
Nie Feng thought to himself: "Is it heavily guarded and can I enter without documents?" Xian Wenjie seemed to understand Nie Feng's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, when the guards are called, the commander will send his personal guards to pick us up." I had already told the Commander on the phone about your skills, and the Commander had a good impression of you, and said that you were always welcome to visit the Overseer's Palace. ”
After speaking, Xian Wenjie handed the certificate to the guards and whispered a few words in the guards' ears, and saw the guards running to the phone booth and came to Xian Wenjie's side after a while to salute and said, "Commander Xian, please wait here, Adjutant Wang will come out and lead you in immediately." ”
Xian Wenjie returned the salute and said 'thank you'.
After a while, a tall adjutant came to him, and Xian Wenjie greeted him with a smile and exchanged a few words. led Xian Wenjie and Nie Feng directly to Commander Lu's office hall.
Adjutant Wang knocked on the door, and the three of them entered Commander Lu's office together, and as soon as they entered, Commander Lu said to Xian Wenjie: "Commander Xian, this assassination of Liu Shancang failed, don't be discouraged; When we have the opportunity, we will march into Shonan and destroy him in one fell swoop. Avenge your father and mother; And our Gui army should resist the territory. ”
Xian Wenjie replied respectfully: "Thank you Commander for your concern." ”
Commander Lu looked at Nie Feng and asked, "Wen Jie, are you talking about this little brother who saved you?" ”
Xian Wenjie hurriedly said, "Brother Ye, have you seen Commander Lu soon?" ”
Nie Feng politely bowed to Commander Lu and said, "Commander Lu, please take care of me." In the lower leaf fan. ”
Commander Lu, who was in his 50s, laughed, stood up and said, "Little brother, look at your weak scholarly appearance, Wen Jie said that your martial arts are very powerful; I'd love to see it, so I'll take you to the playground to meet someone; He used to be the second leader of the 'Evil Snake Gang', and now he is the instructor of my Gui Army. After speaking, he got up and took the lead out of the office first.
Xian Wenjie and Nie Feng hurriedly followed the tall and burly Commander Lu to the playground. Nie Feng thought to himself: "If there is a father, there must be a daughter, all of whom are acute sons." ”
Nie Feng thought again: "I will be able to meet the people of the 'Evil Snake Gang' soon, I don't know if he is involved in his own great hatred?" If he participated, he would have been killed on the spot. ”
Lei Gong saw from afar that Commander Lu was leading two people towards him, trotted up to meet him, and said: Commander, why do you have time to come and see Lei training recruits today? ”
Commander Lu still laughed and said, "Instructor Lei, today I will bring a master to compete with you, everyone will stop there." It opened my eyes too. ”
He pointed at Nie Feng and said, "This little brother's name is Ye Fan." Then he pointed to Lei Gong and said, "This is my instructor of the Gui Army, Lei Gong." The two of you shake hands and get to know each other, and then we get started. ”
When Lei Gong stretched out his right hand, Nie Feng saw the tattoo of the 'snake head' on the back of his hand at a glance, and Nie Feng used two forces to hold Lei Gong's hand.
Lei Gong was not to be outdone, and immediately increased his strength to meet him.
Nie Feng thought about his grandfather, his parents, and Uncle Wang, who died tragically. Suddenly, his mood changed, and he raised his skills to eighty percent (maybe he regarded the former member of the 'Evil Snake Gang' in front of him as his enemy) and saw Lei Gong's forehead sweating from Nie Feng's sore face.
Lei Gong said in a mournful voice: "Little brother, what a profound internal strength; I've thrown in the towel, can you please let go? ”
Nie Feng knew that he had just gone too far after Lei Gongyi said it, so he hurriedly said guiltily: "Uncle Lei, I'm sorry, I was just a little distracted and regarded you as my enemy." ”
Lei Gong said in his heart: "There is still such a deep internal force in distraction, if you concentrate, it will be worth it." ”
Lei Gong walked up to Commander Lu and said, "Congratulations, Commander, for getting such a powerful master." Brother Ye's martial arts are at least seventy percent higher than mine. ”
Commander Lu had also practiced martial arts when he was young, and he already knew how powerful Nie Feng's martial arts were just by looking at Lei Gong's painful appearance.
Commander Lu laughed and said, "I also just met Brother Ye, he is the life-saving benefactor of Regiment Leader Xian; If he is willing to stay with me, how dare he? After speaking, he looked at Nie Feng.
Nie Feng said modestly: "Thank you, Commander, for your love." Then he said eagerly to Lei Gong: "Uncle Lei, can I ask you something?" ”
"Brother Ye, please speak," Lei Gong said happily.
"Uncle Lei, when did you break away from the organization of the 'Evil Snake Gang'?"
"Five years ago, shortly after the death of the old gang leader, I left the 'Snake Gang's chief --- 'Butterfly Mountain' in Shonan. Then, I took refuge with Commander Lu. ”
"Then Uncle Lei, why did you leave the 'Snake Gang'?"
"Because the new gang leader has violated the gang rules at the beginning of the establishment of the 'Evil Snake Gang'. I didn't want to help the abuse, so I left. ”
"Is the current gang leader the same one you left when you left? What's his name? ”
"I'm not sure, supposedly? His name is Liu Kui, and he is in the same village as Liu Shanpao, the warlord of southern Hunan. Lei Gong then asked curiously: "Brother Ye, why are you so interested in the 'Evil Snake Gang'?" ”
Nie Feng thought about it for a while, and was about to ask Lei Gong if he knew anything about the tragedy of the 'Nie' family.
Commander Lu interrupted their conversation and said, "Brother Ye, Instructor Lei don't talk about it yet; We went to eat first, and then we all got involved while we ate. ”
Xian Wenjie also echoed and said: "What the commander said is very true, is there an atmosphere like that?" ”
During the banquet, Nie Feng saw Lu Xiaomei, and Lu Xiaomei also saw Nie Feng, she was not surprised. Because Zhou Huwei had already told her on the way back to the city, Xian Wenjie came to Guicheng this time to find her father, Lu Zhiting; And Nie Feng himself is with Xian Wenjie. Lu Xiaomei stared at Nie Feng with both eyes, her pretty face cold.
Commander Lu saw that his baby daughter was back, and hurriedly pulled her beside him.
Commander Lu laughed and said, "Little Brother Ye, you and my daughter should know each other, right?" I heard Wen Jie say, is there some misunderstanding between the two of you? ”
When Lu Xiaomei heard her father ask about the things in the dense forest, she looked at Nie Feng with a blushing face.
When Nie Feng heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's a small thing, that is, there was a wild boar that came out at that time, and I was afraid that it would hurt Miss, so I drove it away; land
Miss was angry because she wanted to fight the wild boar--- I didn't know it was Miss Lu's prey. After speaking, he looked at Lu Xiaomei.
Lu Xiaomei knew that Nie Feng's intention was not to embarrass herself. There was obviously a layer of gratitude on the cold pretty face.
Commander Lu listened to Nie Feng's simple statement, smiled and looked at his daughter and said nothing.
Nie Feng couldn't wait, so he asked Lei Gong, who was sitting next to him, "Uncle Lei, three years ago, did you hear that the 'Evil Snake Gang' did a big case?" ”
As soon as Lei Gong heard it, he knew that Nie Feng was referring to the tragedy of the Nie family in Guangping City. Because Uncle Liang (the former chef of the Snake Gang) had told him about this three years ago when he came to join him---- since this incident, the other brothers of the Snake Gang, including the gang leader, have never returned to the helm; Missing.
Lei Gong looked at Nie Feng suspiciously, and said, "Brother Ye, what does the Nie family in Guangping City have to do with you?" As far as I know, the Serpents only did this three years ago. ”
Nie Feng stood up excitedly when he heard this, and asked, "Then, Uncle Lei, do you know where the members of the Evil Snake Gang who participated in this matter are now?" ”
Everyone saw Nie Feng suddenly stand up and set their eyes on him.
Lei Gong looked at Nie Feng quietly and did not speak.
Seeing that Lei Gong was silent, Nie Feng asked again, "Uncle Lei, can you provide me with some information about the current Evil Snake Gang?" ”
Lei Gong turned to one of the guards and said, "Guard Zhou, could you please help me call Uncle Liang, the chef?" Then he said to Nie Feng: Brother Ye, you will ask Uncle Liang later, he left the Evil Snake Gang after the Nie family's case three years ago."
Nie Feng said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Lei, did Uncle Liang participate in the Nie family case?" ”
"He's just a cook, not a member of the Serpents, who brought him back when the old gang leader was alive; Besides, he doesn't know martial arts. Lei Gong replied.
When everyone heard this, they all became interested in Nie Feng's identity. After all, three years ago, the Nie family was one of the prominent families in southern Hunan and northern Guangdong, and the tragedy of the Nie and Rong families shocked the entire Hunan and Guangdong regions.
After a while, Uncle Liang came to the dining room and saluted Commander Lu. Lei Gong called him to him and said, "Uncle Liang, you told this Brother Ye in detail how you came to Guijun from the Evil Snake Gang to work as a cook after the Nie family's case." ”
Uncle Liang looked up at Nie Feng and said, "Back then, Liu Kui's gang leader took the brothers to Guangping City to do things, and I stayed at the helm to take care of the house. They walked for more than a month (they used to come back after running errands) and did not see anyone come back, I was a little worried and made a special trip to Guangping City to inquire, as soon as I arrived in Guangping, I heard the streets and alleys are talking about the Nie family tragedy; I heard that except for the abduction of Old Master Nie and the whereabouts of the little young master of the Nie family, it is unknown; The others were all slashed to death by masked men armed with machetes. Since the Nie family is a big philanthropist in Guangping City, many citizens respect their family, so the local government also intervened in the investigation.
The streets were plastered with people who found a tattoo of a snake's head on the back of their right hand; Please report it to Quang Binh Police Station. the one who caught it; Quang Binh's 'white' family has a lot of rewards. ”
Nie Feng excitedly stood beside Uncle Liang and asked, "How did the police know about the clue of the tattoo, at that time, did they catch the perpetrator?" ”
Uncle Liang looked at Nie Feng's slender body and continued: "I stayed in Guangping City for about half a month, and later learned ---from the villagers of Wangwu Village that Nie Tianhua wrote this important clue on the ground with his own blood before he died; He was later discovered by the police. When I left Quang Binh City, not only did the police fail to catch any members of the Snake Gang; Even I didn't find the code of the Snake Gang in Quang Binh City, and I searched all the hotels, large and small, but there was no trace of them. ”
After listening to Uncle Liang's story, Nie Feng stood there and looked into the distance without saying a word. Seeing this, Uncle Liang shouted 'Ye Gongzi', and Nie Feng came back to his senses and asked, "Uncle Liang, do you have any news about the leader of the Evil Snake Gang now?" ”
Uncle Liang shook his head and said, "Since the Guangping case, I haven't heard any more about them walking around the rivers and lakes. However, Ye Gongzi, I suspect that Liu Shanpao may know Liu Kui's whereabouts; Because they've been in contact with each other before. ”
"Are you talking about Liu Kui, the self-proclaimed leader of the Southern Hunan Army?" Nie Feng asked.
"This is the man, he was a bandit before; Bad things are done. So Ye Gongzi, you have to be careful when you go to him. Uncle Liang reminded.
When Commander Lu heard them talk about Xian Wenjie's enemy, Liu Shanpao, he interjected: "Junior Brother Ye, Liu Shanpao is a bandit leader at best. You decide when to go to him, and I will send Xian Wenjie's whole group to follow you to destroy his lair. ”
Nie Feng said gratefully, "Thank you, Commander Lu, for your kindness." ”
At this time, Uncle Liang and Lei Gong both asked at the same time: "Brother Ye, you are the little son of the Nie family who disappeared back then, right?" ”
Nie Feng looked at the two of them and then at everyone without speaking.
Lei Gong then said: "Ye Gongzi, you should be disguised, right?" I haven't noticed any change in your face; But your deeds have told all of you; You are very excited, especially when you hear Nie Tianhua's three words. ”
When everyone heard Lei Gong say this, they all set their eyes on Nie Feng; Especially Lu Xiaomei looked at Nie Feng with wide eyes curiously.
Lei Gong then analyzed: "Actually, it's not difficult to find the murderer, Ye Gongzi or you Nie Gongzi are more appropriate, right?" If you are the young master of the Nie family who disappeared back then, you should go back to Guangping City to pay respects to your relatives now. The murderer will definitely come to you when he knows that you are back; Because you were the fish they slipped through the net back then; So they have to find you to complete the mission. ”
After listening to this, Nie Feng also thought secretly in his heart.
Xian Wenjie interjected at this time: "Like the method that Instructor Lei said, it is very dangerous. Yourself in the light; The enemy is in the shadows. ”
Nie Feng answered: "Uncle Lei's analysis is very reasonable, and he hides it deeply; The enemy hides deeper, if he is exposed; Then the enemy came out. ”
After seeing Nie Feng finish speaking, he reached out and took off the mask on his face.
