Chapter XVII
In the east, there is a black velvet canopy. When the first light pierced the sky, it was like a sharp sword splitting a corner of the east. Gradually, the dark canopy of the sky became white, and the canopy opened, slowly turning red.
The sun finally came out, looking at this sunrise, Zhuo Bufan's heart seemed to be washed, and the fatigue of the night lifted his somewhat tired spirit.
Last night, he first tracked down Meng Yunfu's whereabouts and found Cui Feng's hiding place. Later, he fought with Cui Feng once, although this battle was very short, but it also cost him a lot of effort. Later, it was those subordinates left by Cui Feng, and the battle directly became overwhelming after he and Leng Er joined, and these Black Wind Village thieves who had no leader were wiped out.
But the follow-up aftermath is the most troublesome.
Their operation this time can be said to be a great success, although it is said that Cui Feng has escaped, but his power has been uprooted and no longer exists.
It was also because suddenly, Cui Feng's side did not have the slightest preparation, except for himself, everything in the manor was left behind.
There were many stolen goods looted by Cui Feng's subordinates in the manor, and there were also some things that Cui Feng wanted Meng Yunfu to collect over the years.
It's a pity that Second Master Leng who had just finished counting walked to Zhuo Bufan's side with a heavy heart and said, "Zhuo Shaoxia, Meng Yuanwai!" ”
&2nd Master! ”
Meng Yunfu has been following Zhuo Bufan's side since last night, and in the case that he is a stranger, he only believes that Zhuo Bufan, who is already familiar.
Since Zhuo Bufan called it that, he also called 'Second Master Leng'. You can't go wrong anyway.
Leng Er directly asked the question in his heart and said, "Meng Yuanwai, I heard them say that Cui Feng entrusted you to help him collect some things over the years?" ”
The people of Renyi Villa still caught some live mouths, these are what they interrogated these people to know, saying that it was 'commissioned' just to give Zhuo Bufan face, after all, Meng Yunfu was protected by Zhuo Bufan, and Meng Yunfu can be regarded as helping him Renyi Villa, he can't make him look ugly.
Meng Yunfu couldn't be lazy, and hurriedly replied, also with half a point of self-deprecation, and said: "Second Master Leng, you are polite, I am a puppet in Cui Feng's hands, I have helped him sell his stolen goods over the years, and I have also helped him collect items." ”
& I don't know what items were collected, and how many were collected? ”
Leng Er's question made Meng Yunfu a little strange, and said in his heart Since you have already occupied Cui Feng's lair, why don't you know this.
Still, he honestly told everything he knew.
After listening to what Meng Yunfu said, Leng Er asked a lot of questions.
The further he went to the back, the more serious Leng Er's face became.
Until Leng Er asked the last question: "Then do you know an old man in black beside Cui Feng?" ”
& You know, I've never seen it. ”
Leng Er looked at Zhuo Bufan this time and said: "Zhuo Shaoxia, it seems that things are not so simple, just now I found out after statistics that there are actually very few things in this manor, and they are not at all compatible with what Cui Feng has gained over the years......"
Meng Yunfu hurriedly said: "How is it possible, Second Master Leng, what I said is true." ”
Leng Er hurriedly reassured Meng Yunfu and said, "Outside Meng Yuan, we don't suspect you. ”
Just now, Meng Yunfu was really worried that Leng Er wanted to knock a stroke from himself, he was not afraid, what he was afraid of was to give the wolf's lair and enter the tiger's den.
Since Leng Er said that he didn't suspect him, Meng Yunfu temporarily pressed his heart and said, "That's?" ”
& Knowing that, even the things that Meng Yuanwai collected for Cui Feng were not much. ”
Meng Yunfu knew how many of the things he needed for Cui Feng over the years, but now Leng Er said that there were not many.
& From the mouths of Cui Feng's subordinates, I learned that there is a mysterious old man by Cui Feng's side, and every year the old man will secretly take a group of people to escort a batch of things from here, thinking that it should be the items and stolen goods that Meng Yuanwai collected for Cui Feng, and not long ago it was the time when the mysterious old man escorted him every year. ”
& What else did they ask, who was that mysterious old man, and why did Cui Feng need these things? ……”
Zhuo Bufan asked a few key points in this matter.
& Some people said they didn't know, Cui Feng didn't say it, and they didn't dare to ask, so I came to ask Meng Yuanwai, but unfortunately Meng Yuanwai didn't know, and didn't even know that there was such a person, but when I just asked Meng Yuanwai to collect those things, the items that Meng Yuanwai said reminded me of one thing, maybe it has something to do with this, but I'm not sure yet. Leng Er glanced at Zhuo Bufan and said, "Zhuo Shaoxia, I'm going to trouble you here, I want to go back to Renyi Villa as soon as possible, I need to ask my eldest brother about this matter to know, if it's really like I thought, it's going to be troublesome." ”
>> Go with confidence, if there's anything you need me to do, just ask! ”
Leng Er and Zhuo Bufan hugged each other, and Leng Er had already left first.
Maybe Leng Er had an order before he left, and the people who stayed in Renyi Villa all listened to Zhuo Bufan's arrangements, but Zhuo Bufan didn't make more arrangements, but let them do what they usually do, so what they should do, he just hung the name of a leader and brought them back to Fengyang.
All the way back, Zhuo Bufan was thinking about something.
He knew that the matter might be more serious than he thought, and at first he thought that Cui Feng was not so simple because he knew from Meng Yunfu that there was another group of people investigating his whereabouts, and it didn't seem to be Cui Feng's person.
Zhuo Bufan thought that someone was colluding with Cui Feng, but it seemed that there was more than one situation from Leng Er.
>> Whoever cares, the soldiers will cover the water and the earth! What am I afraid of! If you can't figure it out, Zhuo Bufan is not thinking deeply, what he needs now is to get rid of Cui Feng completely, so as to prevent future troubles, or leave such a time bomb, which threatens the safety of his family in this life at any time, although there are people in Renyi Villa to protect it now, but it is not a long-term solution.
>> Before, those people in Fengyang City must be found out, let me see who it is? ’
Zhuo Bufan first set the first goal after returning to Fengyang.
& Young man, then we'll go first! Take care! ”
& Take care all the way! ”
Zhuo Bufan also hugged his fist to the small leader of the Renyi Villa in front.
When others treat him politely and respectfully, he treats him the same.
When they arrived in Fengyang, the people of Renyi Villa handed over all the stolen goods they got from Cui Feng's lair to the big shopkeeper of the Zhu family trading house in Fengyang City, and they wanted to take those items collected by Cui Feng back to Renyi Villa.
And Zhuo Bufan wanted to stay in Fengyang, so there was a scene where they said goodbye to each other.
At the same time, Meng Yunfu also put his mind at ease, the people of Renyi Villa did not pursue him, although most of his property was obtained from helping Heifeng Village sell stolen goods, but those properties were handed over to Cui Feng by him, and most of the family property he left in Fengyang was based on those stolen goods, and he earned it himself.
If these people didn't pursue it, it would be better, so that he could also ensure that the people of his Meng family would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
However, Zhuo Bufan's words before leaving reminded him.
& Feng is not dead, even if he is dead, there is no force to protect him in the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to move an inch, especially if he has already intersected with the rivers and lakes. ”
& Shaoxia, what should I do? I am willing to give three thousand taels of silver every year, please Zhuo Shaoxia to protect my Meng family! ”
And Zhuo Bufan just smiled and said: "The richest man in the world is the financier of Renyi Villa, and Renyi Villa also protects the business of the Zhu family, I don't think there is anyone who is more suitable than them." ”
Meng Yunfu had already seen that Zhuo Bufan did not have the intention of sheltering his family, but after hesitating, Meng Yunfu still spoke: "They are already gone!" ”
& The people who want to protect you in Mengfu won't leave until you come back! ”
With just one sentence, Meng Yunfu knew what to do, and after thanking Zhuo Bufan, he rushed back to Meng's Mansion first.
