Battle of Tulang Mountain IX The truth emerges

In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the windowsill, Yu Feng was disturbed by the slightly dazzling light. What made him sleepy was not only this sunshine, but also the safety of Bai Yaqian Hui and the others who were now on his shoulders.

Coming out of Lushen Island, this is already the fourth day, and I was still counting on going home one day earlier and staying with my parents for two more days, but this dream was shattered yesterday. I went up the mountain to dissuade him to no avail, and the conversation with Cao Kui broke down, if it wasn't for Xuyun to save him, I am afraid that I would not be able to go down this Tulang Mountain.

And now that he is safe, his friends are not out of danger, so he naturally has to stay here for a few more days to completely solve the matter of Langwa Village before he can embark on the journey home. In this way, I don't know how much time I will have to delay here.

Looking at the warm sunlight outside the window, Yu Feng couldn't warm up in his heart. After a moment of thought, he packed up his things and went out.

Today's itinerary is the gathering place of many news in this Luqi Town, teahouses and restaurants. The day before yesterday, according to the guidance of the young man who was doing business, he met a middle-aged man in a teahouse, and from his mouth, he got some information about Langwa Village. I came out again today to inquire about the news, and it would be great if I could meet that man again.

In Lufeng Street, there are more and more people, most of whom are merchants and people who are shopping for their livelihoods. Shuttling through this somewhat crowded street, Yu Feng spent half a day going back and forth between various teahouses and restaurants. I met all kinds of people, but I didn't find any valuable information.

There are a lot of outsiders in this town, and these outsiders really don't know what happened here a year ago. There are some people who seem to know, but they are vague about it, and there are people who simply avoid these topics. The population here is relatively dense, and I can't treat these people like I did to the tea stall owner, so I can only give up asking again and look for other people.

I didn't have any harvest in the morning, and I didn't have much appetite at noon, so I just asked for some snacks in the teahouse and ate some at random. The afternoon sun makes people sleepy, and after grinding the skin of the morning, Yu Feng has long been a little tired. He simply lay down on the tea table and took a nap here.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard that the people around me gradually increased, and the teahouse began to have customers. In this hall, there is a platform at the front, and there are some small performances at a fixed time every day to entertain the tea guests.

At this time, the sound of musical instruments sounded in the hall, and Yu Feng didn't need to look to know that this was a small performance every afternoon here. He wasn't interested in it at all, especially at this time. Even though the little song on the stage was played elegantly, he still lay down on the table to rest without looking at it.

At the end of the song, the hall resounded with warm applause, mixed with some applause. At this time, a voice came directly into Yu Feng's ears, making his sleepiness disappear at once. "Okay, sing well, and it's good to be a good person!"

This voice Yu Feng heard familiarly, it was the middle-aged man who told him something about Langwa Village the day before. He immediately raised his head, looked around, and found that the middle-aged man and a friend were sitting at a tea table not far from him, sipping tea while looking at the girl playing and singing on the high platform at the front of the hall.

"Master Zhang, thank you, this place you said is really good! The water is good, the tea is good, the qu is beautiful, Qi is really worth the trip!" Yu Feng was not far from where they were sitting, and he happened to hear their conversation when he listened closely.

The man who sat in front of him and was called Zhang Ye smiled, "Qi Tong...... Brother Qi, whatever you say, as long as you like it. When you come to me, I naturally want to entertain you, so there is nothing to thank you for. ”

Yu Feng didn't know who the two of them were, and he didn't know what their relationship was, and now that he had something on his mind, how could he be in the mood to listen to the two of them chatting. He got up directly and walked over, "Senior, I didn't expect to meet you here again, what a coincidence! I heard you say a lot of things the day before yesterday, and the junior is very interested, and I want to talk to you again today, but I don't know if it's convenient or not." As he spoke, he looked at the man surnamed Zhang on the side. Yu Feng knew that it was rude to interject like this, but he was a little anxious, and he was afraid that he would lose this opportunity to inquire about the news.

The man surnamed Zhang glanced at Yu Feng, his eyes showing a questioning look, "Brother Qi, this is ......"

The middle-aged man also glanced at Yu Feng and smiled, "This is a little brother I met by chance the day before yesterday, we drank tea together, and the conversation was very speculative." ”

"I see, since I am Brother Qi's friend, I am naturally my friend. The man surnamed Zhang immediately turned to Yu Feng with a smile on his face, "What do you call the little brother?"

"Senior Yu Feng, I've seen two seniors!" Yu Feng immediately replied respectfully.

The middle-aged man nodded, and said to the man surnamed Zhang: "Master Zhang, you should have a lot of business in the shop, if there are a lot of affairs, go and get busy first, I will have a few more teas with my little brother here." Today I am happy in my heart, I have covered the expenses here. ”

As soon as the man surnamed Zhang heard this, he immediately stood up, "Hey, Brother Qi said this." You just have to rest here, don't worry about other things, Zhang won't bother, go back first. With that, he gestured to Yu Feng again, and then turned and left. Yu Feng stared at his departing figure, and saw that he went to the counter again, he should have settled the account here.

Listening to the conversation between these two people and the behavior and attitude of the man surnamed Zhang, he should be in business, and he respects this man surnamed Qi so much, presumably this person's identity is not simple, or he just asks for him, just like himself.

After the man surnamed Zhang left, Yu Feng spoke, "Senior Qi......"

The man surnamed Qi stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "Little brother, Qi has a name and a surname, don't call me senior, as if I am old." Saying that, he motioned for Yu Feng to sit down, "Under the name Qi Shengzhong, you and I can be commensurate with each other, otherwise it won't seem that I am too old." He laughed.

Qi Shengzhong's words, Yu Feng also felt a little funny when he heard it, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He sat in the position of the man surnamed Zhang and looked at Qi Shengzhong, "Oh...... Brother Qi...... I heard something from you the other day about Nalang Wazhai, I am very interested, can you tell me some more. Yu Feng still felt that this title was very uncomfortable, and he always felt a little inferior.

Qi Shengzhong was stunned for a moment, "Little brother, this is a topic that the government prohibits from discussing, I made an exception to tell you a lot that day, why are you still addicted to it." ”

Yu Feng smiled, "I'm just curious, I can't sleep thinking about these things in the past two days, so I want to ask you again." ”

Qi Shengzhong shook his head, "If it was before, it would be nothing to talk about this Langwa Village." But a year ago, they offended the government and were completely blocked from this Donglu region. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't find the location of their cottage, the military would have wiped them out long ago. Now that these things are said to be expressly forbidden by the government. I'm not scaring you, half a year ago, there were three people in this Lufeng Town talking about the changes in Langwa Village this year, and they were extremely emotional, but they were finally exposed, and these three people were guilty of the same crime as the bandits in Langwa Village, and they are still locked up in Donglu Prison. And this is because they are not people from Langwa Village, so they were given such a light punishment. ”

Yu Feng approached Qi Shengzhong and whispered: "Brother Qi, Donglu can give such an order, which means that there must be a hidden secret, I just want to find out these things, so I asked you." And as far as I know, it must have something to do with a merchant named Zolu. ”

When Qi Shengzhong heard this, he also approached Yu Feng and asked in a low voice: "I see that the little brother is here for this trip to Donglu!"

Qi Shengzhong's words are right, Yu Feng didn't want to admit it, but depending on the situation, if he wants to ask something from his mouth, he must tell the truth. "Brother Qi, I've heard of Lu Lu's friendliness, but I've heard that he has no place in Donglu, so I want to find out the secret of this. ”

"I've heard of Lu Lu's character, but I don't know what his grievances are. But I can tell you that Zhang Ye, who was drinking tea with me here just now, is the biggest cloth merchant in this Luqi town. ”

Isn't that a competitor to Qi Lu? Yu Feng didn't know what Qi Shengzhong was talking about, "Brother Qi, what does this mean?"

"Haha, that's all Qi said about this matter, and the rest is up to you. Qi Shengzhong picked up the teacup and began to taste the slightly bitter tea.

Yu Feng sorted out his thoughts, not thinking about whether that Zhang Ye had anything to do with this matter, but thinking about what else he could ask. After Qi Shengzhong finished his tea, Yu Feng finally remembered his question, "By the way, I remember that there is a general named Yi Chaoying in the Donglu Army, I don't know if you are familiar with Brother Qi?"

Qi Shengzhong laughed and filled his teacup with tea, "Cooked, too cooked!" This topic is good, it is not a forbidden topic, we can talk about it loudly this time." ”

I don't know why, when it comes to Yi Chaoying, this Qi Shengzhong seems to be very excited, "Yi Chaoying can be said to be the best in the Donglu army." Less than two years after entering the army, he was promoted to general and promoted to the fourth rank. In order to climb up, he undertook almost half of the tasks in the army, no matter how big or small the difficulty, he would try his best to complete them. Last year, the Donglu official Li sent people to transport property back to his hometown, but he was robbed, and he was so angry that he consulted with the lord of Donglu and ordered the bandits to be suppressed. This task was taken over by Yi Chaoying, who spent a month besieging the bandits' lair, but to no avail. It is said that he is also a general, and he actually came up with a clever plan, united a local merchant and conspiracy, and led the bandit leader to subdue him. It was also because of this that he received the commendation of the city lord, and he was promoted to the deputy commander of the army. When Qi Shengzhong said this, he looked at Yu Feng with ulterior motives.

Yu Feng listened carefully to the story, and at the same time, his mind was constantly thinking, connecting everything he knew. Soon, he made a discovery, his body moved closer to Qi Shengzhong's side, and asked him in a low voice, "Is this businessman who cooperates with Yi Chaoying Zhang Ye?"

Qi Shengzhong laughed, "I've told you enough, the little brother should be able to think of a lot of things from it, you better think about it yourself!"

Yu Feng felt that he had been able to guess the truth of what happened a year ago, and the culprits who killed Brother Mu Jie should be Yi Chaoying and that Zhang Ye. If it weren't for Qi Shengzhong telling himself, he probably wouldn't have thought of it, and there are probably not many people who know these things.

Thinking of this, Yu Feng suddenly remembered another thing, and he asked Qi Shengzhong again: "Brother Qi, this matter can be regarded as very confidential, how can you know this, who are you?" ”
