Xiao Ding would not have thought that Bai Yunfei would be a disciple of Kongtong's sect.

He always thought that Bai Yunfei should be a son of a certain family, or even a prince and grandson.

There are more than one or two things that he can't think of in this world, just as he never thought that Chen Xuanguan's martial arts would be a first-class existence in the rivers and lakes. In his impression, the martial arts of the head of Kongtong should be slightly lower than that of Shaolin Wudang, and even the Huashan beggar gang, but now it seems that his idea is simply wrong.

Heroes don't ask where they come from, and martial arts don't ask where they come from.

The real masters may be in the inconspicuous crowd.

Xiao Ding felt that this was a lesson, and a good lesson, and since then, he has at least never thought about things in preconceived notions.

Peerless heroes always have to grow slowly.

"Bai Yunfei? It's a coincidence, and I'm even acquainted with him. Xiao Ding laughed.

"Oh, that's a coincidence." Chen Xuanguan laughed.

Xiao Ding then briefly explained the process of his acquaintance with Bai Yunfei.

"I see, Bai Yunfei is the son of the old man's old man, entrusted by his old friend on his deathbed, the old man accepted him as a closed disciple, this son is talented, he is really a genius in martial arts, although he has only learned swords for seven years, he has achieved great success, his swordsmanship has already surpassed the old man, every time he thinks of his old friend, he finally lives up to his trust, it is really gratifying." Chen Xuanguan looked at the distant mountains and sighed with emotion.

If it is really like what Chen Xuanguan said, wouldn't Bai Yunfei's swordsmanship be difficult to meet his opponent?

Xiao Ding was really not mistaken, Bai Yunfei is indeed not simple.

After disposing of the body of the man in black and appeasing the old man who sold tea, the two of them rushed to the direction of Liyang side by side.

……

Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu have not been idle for the past two days.

They first pretended to be ordinary tourists and went to Lingyin Temple, then went to Lin'an, and lurked near Guiyun Villa for two days.

"I didn't find anything abnormal in Lingyin Temple, the old beggar in Guiyun Villa came out every day, but every time he went to the wine shop to drink, he went back after drinking, the old nest of the Thirteen Taibao has been cleaned up and expropriated by the government, we asked Qiu Ruoli to make a little connection, went to the house to check, and found that the corpses were all charred black, and they couldn't be identified at all." As soon as Xiao Ding sat down, Tang Qingqing immediately reported to him the conclusion of their investigation in the past two days.

Xiao Ding pondered for a long time and said with a light smile: "The corpse is burned to the point that it is unrecognizable, that is to say, if you throw thirteen charred corpses in the fire at random, others will also be unrecognizable." ”

Ye Rongqiu seemed to understand what he meant, and asked: "Are you saying that the Thirteenth Taibao may not be dead, those corpses are just a trick, they deliberately left the mask they wore on weekdays at the scene, it was just a plan to get rid of the golden cicada?" ”

Xiao Ding smiled: "Maybe, I'm just guessing, but I think this thing is very strange, Lin'an Thirteen Taibao has been famous for many years, and it is by no means a rabble in the rivers and lakes, no matter who wants to catch them all, it is not easy, and they were all burned to death in the house overnight, which is a bit funny." ”

Hearing Xiao Ding say this, everyone also felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

"Then how should we check the truth of this matter, there is no clue at all now." Tang Qingqing asked anxiously.

Fire has always been the best way to destroy corpses.

After a fire, in the midst of rubble and ruins, what traces could not be destroyed?

"Looking for Qiu Ruoli, I want to see those corpses again." Xiao Ding said in a deep voice.

After all, Qiu Ruoli is the daughter of the Hou Ye Mansion, if she can help them once, of course she can help them a second time, and these things are just a gesture for her, just send someone to say hello.

But they didn't expect the housekeeper to tell them that the corpses had been transported to Yizhuang on the outskirts of the city.

"Dare to ask uncle, have the jailers in Houye's Mansion sent a few corpses here in the past few days?" Xiao Ding asked.

"This ......," the housekeeper looked at the crowd warily.

Xiao Ding stuffed a silver ingot into his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, we are all friends of Miss Qiu, and we are entrusted by Master Hou to investigate this case." “

The housekeeper heard that everyone was entrusted by Qiu Xiaohou to investigate the case, and he didn't dare to slack off, how could he dare to accept Xiao Ding's silver, but Xiao Ding's attitude was very kind, and he insisted on stuffing the silver into his arms.

"Hui Gongzi, it is precisely because the Hou Ye Mansion sent someone to inform him yesterday that he was going to send six corpses over, in order to vacate the vacant seats, our side sent the thirteen charred corpses to the suburbs of Yizhuang overnight, and it was a coincidence that they just left not long ago, and you came." The housekeeper took the money, and spoke in great detail.

Xiao Ding smiled: "Then please ask Uncle to take me to check it out." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Childe, please come with me." The housekeeper smiled.

The coffin used in the room is not a regular coffin, but a coffin-like wooden box, which is not heavy, so that it is easy to move or carry on a daily basis.

The six corpses that had just been transported had been cleaned and placed in a wooden box, which was covered with a mixture of lime and incense ash, so that the corpses were disposed of in order to prevent the corpses from rotting and smelling, and the lime in the box could also effectively prevent the corpses from flowing out of the wooden box and emitting a peculiar smell.

Xiao Ding simply looked at the arms of the six corpses and left.

The "cloud car" is driving on the way to the outskirts of the city.

"Those six corpses, why did you only look at the place on their arms?" Tang Qingqing couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Ding leaned against the window of the car and yawned lazily, he didn't answer Tang Qingqing's question, but asked, "When did the thin monkey leave?" ”

"You just went to Yangzhou on the front foot, and then he left, did you quietly let him do something important." Ye Rongqiu glanced at Xiao Ding and asked tentatively.

"Well, I'll be back in two days......" Little Ding muttered to himself.

"Hey......" Tang Qingqing slapped Xiao Ding hard and said angrily, "You haven't answered our question yet." ”

"What's the problem?" Xiao Ding was a little absent-minded.

Tang Qingqing yelled: "I asked you why you only checked the arms of those corpses in the house just now, what are you selling, usually when you check the corpses, it is not like this." “

"It's just that usually when he checks on the corpse, he looks at it inch by inch, without blinking his eyes." Ye Rongqiu echoed.

Xiao Ding couldn't help laughing, it turned out that they were asking this question, they were thinking about things just now, and they didn't pay attention to it for a while.

"When I came back from Yangzhou City, I met a friend near Liyang and stumbled upon a secret. Oh no, it should be two secrets. Xiao Ding said lightly.

"What friend?" Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu said this sentence almost in unison.

The two looked at each other and asked at the same time, "What kind of secret have you discovered?" “

Suddenly, both of them were silent, and the first thing they asked about was not the secret that Xiao Ding discovered, what they cared about was whether Xiao Ding's friend was a man or a woman.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Xiao Ding wanted to laugh in his heart, but he didn't dare to show traces on his face.

"I met Chen Xuanguan, the head of the Kongtong faction, when he was fighting with two men in black, I really didn't expect his swordsmanship to be so masterful, I have always underestimated his strength." Xiao Ding sighed deliberately to dissolve the awkward atmosphere.

Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu quickly looked at each other again, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but both of them felt a little embarrassed.

"The head of Kongtong? What about others, have you returned to Kongtong Mountain? Ye Rongqiu was a little shy after all, and she found that speaking could resolve the embarrassment, so she asked first.

"He came to Hangzhou City with me, and he should be with Bai Yunfei at this moment." Xiao Ding said with a smile.

"Bai Yunfei? He also knows Bai Yunfei? What is their relationship? Tang Qingqing couldn't help but be curious.

"This is the first secret I discovered, even I didn't expect that Bai Yunfei was actually a subordinate of Kongtong, and Chen Xuanguan turned out to be his master." Xiao Ding pinched his brow.

Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu's expressions were also unbelieving, in their impressions, Bai Yunfei should be a prince of a family, or a prince and grandson, for Bai Yunfei's impression, their views are exactly the same as Xiao Ding's, and they would never have thought that Bai Yunfei would be an orphan adopted by others.

There is no way, Bai Yunfei's temperament is outstanding, and he always gives others the impression of being extremely noble and refined, and it is really difficult to associate him with the rugged and wild Chen Xuanguan.

It can be seen that the appearance of a thing does not necessarily have to be directly related to its inner nature.

All three of them have agreed on this.
