Chapter 237: Return to the City
Two days later, several newspapers in Yongcheng published the news of Zhang Fuzhi's murder, and it was written in detail and clearly.
Immediately afterwards, rumors also spread in the city, some people said that the reason why Zhang Fuzhi was not arrested, but was only placed under house arrest at home, was because foreigners were protecting him, and he was ready to flee abroad with the money.
In addition, Li Songming and Jiang Boqi withdrew cash from Zhang Fuzhi's bank with great fanfare, which seemed to have explained the authenticity of the matter, so a large number of people flocked to Zhang Fuzhi's bank and money bank to withdraw their money.
Tang Anshu stood not far from Zhangjia Bank, watching the panicked scene of the people flocking to the bank, knowing that Zhang Fuzhi was definitely finished this time, and several things were challenged to him together, and no one could bear it.
Coincidentally, today happens to be the day when Qiu Gubo returns to Yongcheng, and he will also bring back the batch of utensils used for the Hundred Ghost Banquet.
When Tang Anshu came to the train station, he had already seen Qiu Yishan waiting with Wu Liu, Ban Lu and a large number of policemen.
Qiu Yishan immediately stepped forward and said, "Alas, I'm finally back, I'm in a hurry this month." ”
Qiu Gubo smiled: "Dad, I'm such a big person, what is there to worry about." ”
Tang Anshu stepped forward and said, "Qiu Yutan, it's been hard, is it smooth?" ”
Qiu Gubo turned to look at the two cars behind him: "It's done, a hundred utensils, one is not a lot, all here." ”
Tang Anshu said: "Then let's hurry up." ”
Qiu Gubo asked in a low voice, "How is An Wanghai doing over there?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "Let's talk about it when we go back." ”
After returning to Qiu Mansion, Tang Anshu informed Qiu Gubo of what had happened in the past month.
Qiu Gubo was surprised when he heard this: "In just one month, An Wanghai actually designed to bring down Zhang Fuzhi, this person is terrifying, but his way of doing things is a little ......."
Tang Anshu nodded and said: "Yes, I can't stop him, he doesn't care about it now in order to avenge Qianqing, his original plan was to eradicate Zhang Fuzhi's right-hand man first, who knows, but he took advantage of the contradictions between the three families to smash Huanglong, however, he must have other plans." ”
Qiu Gubo wondered: "Is it enough to bring down Zhang Fuzhi soon?" What other plans are available? ”
Tang Anshu said word for word: "His purpose is to make Zhang Fu's family ruined, and he is not the kind that starts directly, he wants to treat others in his own way." ”
Qiu Gubo thought for a moment and said, "So, he will attack Zhang Fuzhi's son Zhang Pei'an?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "It should be, as for what he will do, I don't know, anyway, let's be busy with the Hundred Ghost Banquet now." ”
Qiu Gubo remembered something and asked, "What about the chef?" When is the chef coming? ”
Tang Anshu said: "These two days will come, we still have half a month to prepare, it should be enough, and my plan is that after we piece together the map, we will go to the dungeon immediately, and find Ling Jian one step ahead of Hu Shen." ”
Qiu Gubo asked, "Then we have to plan ahead." ”
Tang Anshu was full of sadness: "Hu Shen's manpower is much more abundant than ours, I found that Hu Shen has hired people from Fengmanlou, this group of people are all masters, even if we enter the dungeon first, we are not guaranteed that Hu Shen will follow, and it will be us who will suffer at that time." ”
Qiu Gubo thought for a moment and said, "If we want to go to the dungeon, we are seriously understaffed. ”
Qiu Gubo's worries are not unreasonable, first of all, Qiu Yishan can't go to the dungeon, they must have someone on the ground to answer, and Qiu Yishan has to be responsible for protecting the Qiu family and Shen Qingmeng, so it is even more impossible for Wu Liu and Ban Lu to follow, and the police can't be mobilized.
"There are also Senior Brother Wu and Uncle Liu, but the strange thing is that these days, the two of them seem to have disappeared, and there is no news." Tang Anshu shook his head and said, "If the two of them are here, we basically have enough manpower, and there are too many people, and there is no point." ”
Qiu Gubo frowned and said, "Why did the two of them disappear?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "I haven't had the energy to investigate this matter, the last time I found out that there were people around Zhang Dingfeng, I realized that this matter may have something to do with Fengmanlou." ”
Qiu Gubo said: "We still have An Wanghai. ”
Tang Anshu smiled bitterly: "Wanghai definitely can't go, don't say it first, he hasn't achieved his goal yet, besides, it's useless for him to go, you don't know, I, Qianqing and Wanghai are the only ones who know martial arts." ”
Qiu Gubo said: "If you can't find Wu Sihe and Liuluoqu, then the only way is to find a trench." ”
Tang Anshu shook his head: "The trench was released from the prison because of the agreement between Sun San and Fu Guodong, that is to say, if Fu Guodong doesn't nod, the trench yaksha will not help us, although they admit money, but they also talk about credit." ”
Qiu Gubo said: "I have my own way to persuade Fu Guodong. ”

Hu Shen naturally also received the news that Qiu Gubo had returned to Yongcheng, and at the same time, the people sent by Zhang Dingfeng to monitor also kept an eye on the two small cars loaded with porcelain.
After listening to Zhang Dingfeng's report, Hu Shen thought for a long time before he said: "The cart is full of the batch of 100 utensils with different looks that he customized in Nanchang, which is the same as the news we received before. ”
Zhang Dingfeng said: "That's definitely right, Uncle Shi asked me to insert the people in Qiu Mansion, and I counted carefully when carrying these porcelain, a hundred utensils, no more, no less, and all the people we put in were arranged by Qiu Fu to help in the back kitchen." ”
Hu Shen nodded and said, "That's right, the truth is obvious, the map of the dungeon is hidden in the Hundred Ghost Banquet." ”
Zhang Dingfeng was puzzled: "Uncle Shi, I really don't understand, why did the Lingjian Mansion hide the map in the Hundred Ghost Banquet and the Yin and Yang Diagram respectively? ”
Hu Shen explained: "This is actually very simple, it is the relationship between light and dark, and what is placed on the bright side is the yin and yang diagram, I think the yin and yang diagram is actually incomplete at all, but the clues are very clear, so many people will track down the yin and yang diagram, and eventually ignore the real clue of the hundred ghost banquet." ”
Zhang Dingfeng pondered for a while and said: "Uncle Shi, now Pan Tianfu can come in handy, since Qiu Yishan's son is married, why don't I take Pan Tianfu to the banquet?" ”
Hu Shen understood what Zhang Dingfeng was going to do, but he said: "I always feel that it is too simple for us to investigate the intelligence of Tang Anshu and others, maybe there is a trap set by them, Cai Qianqing incident has been several months, during this time, Qiu Yishan and Qiu Gubo have not made any movement, nor have they rashly come to rescue Pan Tianfu, there is something wrong with it, so don't move Pan Tianfu for the time being." ”
Zhang Dingfeng glanced at the door at this time: "Master, you leave Rong Pingye and Yunshang by your side, I think something is wrong, it is better to clean up early." ”
Hu Shen said: "It's not the time yet, besides, with your current strength, I can't deal with Yun Shang and the killers under him at all, and Yun Shang has no ability to find Ling Jian, so we are just using each other, what the two of them want to do, we can't hide it from me, we have to focus on the Hundred Ghost Banquet." ”
Zhang Dingfeng nodded: "So, we won't interfere in Zhang Fuzhi's affairs?" ”
Hu Shen said: "Zhang Fuzhi no longer has any use value, once An Wanghai makes a move, it is a bow and no turning back, Zhang Fuzhi is no longer saved, next, you have to find a way to get close to Jiang Boqi and gain his trust." ”
Zhang Dingfeng was puzzled: "Gain Jiang Boqi's trust? Why? What does Uncle Shi mean that Yongcheng will be Jiang Boqi's world in the future? ”
Hu Shen nodded and said: "That's right, Zhang Fuzhi has fallen, and the person who can sit firmly in the first position of the Yongcheng Chamber of Commerce can only be Jiang Boqi, it is obvious that his power has a close relationship with An Wanghai, don't forget, no matter what, An Wanghai's apparent identity is a special envoy of the Feng Army, and the revolutionary army will come to the city sooner or later, as long as Jiang Boqi is held, it is equivalent to holding the future." ”
Zhang Dingfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I understand." ”

In the passage of the underground labyrinth of the annex, Rong Hirano was holding a torch and looking around.
The old man with a cane standing behind Rong Pingye was the master of Feng Manlou, the killer Yunshang who single-handedly founded Yunshang Village.
Rong Hirano stood there with a compass looking for it, knocking on the wall from time to time, listening carefully.
Yun Shang finally said impatiently: "Invalids, do you really think that these passages are related to the dungeon?" ”
Rong Pingye turned around and said, "I even think that these passages are exactly around the dungeon, and as long as you discover the secret of the passage, you can also discover the entrance to the dungeon." ”
Yun Shang sneered: "If it really has a relationship, Hu Shen would have sent someone to do it a long time ago, can it be your turn?" ”
Rong Pingye knew that there were thorns in Yunshang's words, and he didn't care: "That's not necessarily, if it weren't for the Japanese Keiichi Ikeda, if it weren't for the telegram sent by Tang Anshu and others, he wouldn't know the fact that there is a dungeon under Yongcheng." ”
Yun Shang said simply: "Then let me ask you, how sure are you that you can find the entrance to the dungeon before Hu Shen, Tang Anshu and the others?" ”
Rong Pingye was also very dry: "To tell you the truth, I'm not sure." ”
Yun Shang said disdainfully: "Since you are not sure, what are you going to trade with me?" ”
Rong Pingye explained: "Mr. Yunshang, the reason why I want to cooperate with you is because you and I are both subject to Hu Shen. And the reason why you are subject to him is that if your group of Fengmanlou subordinates knew that their master was a lone army, they would definitely rebel en masse, and what would happen to you at that time? ”
Yun Shang was silent when he heard this, this was indeed what he was most worried about, it was taboo for a lone army to infiltrate various sects, or even set up another sect.
Rong Pingye said again: "In addition, the night owl knows the truth about the slaughter of the trench village, so if you have a hostile relationship with you, Hu Shen will naturally use the night owl to restrain you, in fact, when Hu Shen was the mastermind to destroy the trench village and let you go, it is equivalent to feeding you a dose of chronic poison, and you can only choose to swallow it in order to save your life." ”
Yun Shang said coldly: "Hu Shen doesn't believe me, will he still believe you?" ”
Rong Pingye shook his head: "Indeed, Hu Shen doesn't trust me, the reason why he doesn't trust me is that he doubts my ability, I can't deal with him, but I can deal with Zhang Dingfeng, and when he takes us to find Ling Jian, I will join forces with you, and I can easily snatch Ling Jian into my hands." ”
Yun Shang was not moved: "You and I both want Lingjian, but there is only one Lingjian, will it be given to you when the time comes?" Or give it to me? ”
