Chapter Seventy-Three: The Mysterious Old Man
The old yellow head looked at Chang Wuyi who walked in, and his eyes were a little straight.
What a big official position this is, he had never even heard of it before.
It must be bigger than the prefect, right?
He was a little incredulous, and asked with some trepidation, "So, I really became a cell boss?"
Chang Wuyi ignored him at all, walked to Ye Feng's side with a gloomy face, and snorted and whispered, "Don't use my name to deceive outside." ”
Ye Feng laughed and said: "At least Lord Chang, your current reputation still has the value of being used to deceive, if one day you don't even have this value, I'm afraid you should really worry." ”
Chang Wuyi frowned: "Do you think I really care about this hat? The name of the chief catcher of the Criminal Department can only be used to scare some rats, what's the use?"
Ye Feng saw that he was really angry, reached out to comfort his shoulder, and said: "We all know that you regard high-ranking officials like dung, of course you don't care about such an official and a half-position, but what you really care about is actually Ling Zun's reputation. ”
Chang Wuyi avoided Ye Feng's outstretched hand a little stupidly, he was not used to being too intimate with others.
However, he had to admit that Ye Feng was right. He can not care about the position of the chief catcher of the criminal department, but he can't care about his father's reputation.
His father, Chang Mantian, was the head of the previous Criminal Department, and he was famous all over the world.
It was from his father that he took over the big seal of the head catcher of the Criminal Department, and the reputation of the father and son could not be buried in his hands.
So in the face of Ye Feng's words, he just snorted coldly and was speechless.
When he turned his head, he saw that Lao Huantou was still standing in place, looking at him with eyes full of expectation.
He said a little angrily: "What, what else is going on with our new cell boss?"
The old yellow head only felt a wave of joy coming out of his heart, and stammered a little: "So, is it true?
Chang Wuyi was a little impatient: "Don't you believe what the official said? This Ye Gongzi has already spoken, what questions will there be with the prefect?"
His willingness is that now Lord Zhao Zongru, the prefect of Xi'an, still needs to rely on Ye Feng to find the murderer who caused the plague, and the appointment and dismissal of such an unpopular official as a cell boss will certainly not really care.
However, when these words were heard in the ears of the old yellow head, they unintentionally confirmed Ye Feng's identity as a "superior", and it seemed that the prefect had to obey him.
The old yellow man's heart was full of admiration and gratitude for Ye Feng, and he said continuously: "Much, thank you for the errand, thank you for the general catcher, thank you, thank you......"
Chang Wuyi was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't understand: "What's wrong?"
Ye Feng hurriedly waved his hand at the old yellow head: "Okay, you go and get busy with your business first, let's deal with the things here." ”
When the boss spoke, the old yellow head nodded again and again, turned his head and put the wine and fat chicken in his hand on the table in the house, and said: "This thing is not a respect, and please don't dislike a few adults, the villain will retire." ”
With that, he bowed and withdrew.
Looking up at the bright winter sun outside at noon, the old yellow head couldn't help but feel a stretch of his eyebrows, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable.
I can finally go home, and I don't have to be afraid of the mantra-like nagging of my wife at home, it seems that the chicken in my house is really not killed in vain.
Didn't this beautiful future, which I thought had slipped away, now find it back on its own?
Seeing the old yellow head retreat, Ye Feng turned his head and smiled at Chang Wuyi, who was looking at him a little inexplicably, he didn't bother to explain to him any more questions about what "superiority", anyway, it didn't matter.
At this time, Tang Da on the side suddenly spoke, and asked Chang Wuyi a little strangely, "How did Chang Da find here?"
Chang Wuyi replied: "I don't worry that Ye Gongzi will go if he stays in the red sleeve alone."
Look, there is not even a single figure left. Fortunately, I found the secret code left at the entrance of the secret passage, so I followed the secret passage to find it. ”
"Password?" Tang Da was stunned for a moment.
Ye Feng smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's me, it's me who left a secret message at the secret passage, but I'm afraid that they won't find me, I'm worried, and I'll search everywhere, but I will startle the snake." ”
Tang Da nodded and didn't say anything more, but his eyes flickered, as if he was thoughtful.
Chang Wuyi asked Ye Feng, "You found this place along the secret passage, did you find anything?"
Ye Feng pointed to the already stiff corpse on the bed and said, "There is only the corpse of this former cell leader." ”
Chang Wuyi leaned over and looked at it carefully, and said, "He died of poisoning." Did the Five Poisons Sect do it?"
Tang Da shook his head: "It's very similar, but it can't be determined yet." ”
Chang Wuyi was a little strange: "This is just a small cell boss, why did the Five Poisons Sect attack him?"
Ye Feng then told Chang Wuyi what the old man Huang Tou had told him about the old man who appeared and disappeared mysteriously on death row.
Chang Wuyi thought for a while and said, "In the big prison, there are one or two prisoners who suddenly come and go without knowing the details, this is normal, nothing strange. ”
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Originally, there was really nothing strange about this. But how could the time when this old man appeared on death row and the time when the plague broke out so coincidentally?"
"And the old yellow head just said that this old man once told him about the plague spreading in the city, and everything he said was true, how could he know so much about the plague outside? Not to mention that there are epidemics everywhere in the city, but why is he alone in this prison, and there is not even a single case of infection?"
Chang Wuyi was a little stunned, he couldn't answer these questions.
Ye Feng continued: "Now, the cell head in this prison who may know the identity of this old man has been poisoned, so coincidentally, on the other side of the secret passage, there are people who want to poison the Phoenix girl, so will this secret passage have something to do with the disappearance of this mysterious old man?"
Chang Wuyi's face changed: "You mean, this missing old man is related to the Five Poison Sect that created the plague?"
Ye Feng said faintly: "At least, I think this old man should be very familiar with this plague outside, he must know a lot of secrets about the Five Poison Sect, and his identity is very suspicious." ”
Chang Wuyi couldn't help but sigh and said, "It can't be that he will be the master of the Five Poisons Sect, Lan Pozi, right? ”
Ye Feng turned his head to look at Tang Da, who also nodded and said, "As far as I know, Lan Pozi should indeed be a woman, and according to the relevant records of the Five Poison Sects in the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, she should be at least sixty or seventy years old now. ”
Ye Feng said a little helplessly: "Okay, even if this old man is not Lan Pozi, I guess he must know Lan Pozi, and judging from the fact that he is secretly imprisoned here, he must be a very important enemy for the Five Poison Sect." ”
Tang Da shook his head at this time and said, "This is not necessarily, although he is on death row here, but the reason why he is here is not necessarily because he hates the Five Poisons Sect and has a grudge, but also because he is ......."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Feng only felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help blurting out: "It may be to protect him!"
He thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible: "It's no wonder why the plague is rampant outside, and people are infected everywhere, but in this prison, it is calm and no one is infected." The bell must also be tied to the bell, since the Five Poisons Gate can create this plague, it naturally knows how to protect it from the plague. ”
Chang Wuyi nodded and said: "In the prison, the conditions are extremely poor, and no one would have thought that they would hide people here, so this place has become the safest place." It's just that they have taken such pains for this old man, who the hell will this old man be?"
Ye Feng shook his head, he couldn't think of it.
appear
The cell boss is already dead, and I'm afraid that the answer is not only for the old man himself, but only to ask the Five Poisons Sect that created the plague.
Suddenly, he saw that Chang Wuyi in front of him seemed to remember something, and his face changed.
Ye Feng opened his mouth and asked, "What did you think of?"
Chang Wuyi hesitated for a moment, and said a little cautiously: "Did that old yellow man just now ever say that this mysterious old man has wounds on his shoulders and thighs that were pierced by foreign bodies?"
Ye Feng thought about it, as if he had said so.
Suddenly, he suddenly understood why Chang Wuyi's complexion changed suddenly, and his face also changed!
Because he remembered that Chang Wuyi mentioned the scene of the five hundred Jinwu guards who ambushed the corpses in the valley, a huge black iron box was found, and there were chains and bloody iron hooks in it.
He couldn't help but stare at Chang Wuyi with a shocked gaze, Chang Wuyi naturally understood what he was thinking at this moment, nodded and said, "The bloody iron hooks in the iron box are exactly four!"
As soon as these words came out, neither of them was stunned on the spot.
Could it be that the big black iron box from before, locked inside, turned out to be this mysterious old man?
The Five Poison Gate killed five hundred Jinwuwei soldiers with Gu poison in the valley, just to rob him?
So since they have achieved their goal, what is the purpose of coming to Lanzhou City to create a plague?
This mysterious old man would use five hundred gold guards to secretly escort him, it must be at the behest of the emperor. What is the purpose of his presence in this nearby valley?
All these questions made Ye Feng and Chang Wuyi a little dumbfounded, staring at each other in horror, unable to say a word.
Tang Da on the side didn't know what they had thought, and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong with you, have you found anything?"
The matter about the corpses of the five hundred Jin Wuwei in the valley was top secret, and Tang Da didn't know about it.
However, his words woke up the two, and Chang Wuyi let out a sigh of relief and asked, "If that's the case, what should we do next?"
He didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Fortunately, he was only because there was a plague in Xi'an City, and the five hundred gold guards happened to die of the plague, so he decided to try his luck here, and he didn't expect to find the relevant clues so quickly.
What worries me is that these five poisonous sects are so powerful, they can really use Gu poison to create a plague and kill Jin Wuwei and many innocent people in Xi'an City, such a powerful opponent, can they really deal with it?
Ye Feng lowered his head and pondered for a while before he spoke, "It seems that we have to act separately next." ”
Tang Da and Chang Wuyi glanced at each other, and said almost in unison: "Say, what should I do?"
Ye Feng said to Chang Wuyi: "Lord Chang will immediately go to the prefect Lord Zhao now, the dead person here must be explained, and then you need to investigate all the files about the former prefect of Xi'an City, as well as his current whereabouts." ”
Chang Wuyi was a little stunned, and he didn't understand why he was investigating the former prefect, but he didn't ask, just nodded.
Ye Feng then turned his head to Tang Da and said, "This time, I really need Mr. Tang Da to immediately find the Heavenly Providence Lou Ji Gongzi and ask him to help investigate who the boss behind the red sleeve trick is, as well as everything related to this phoenix girl." Since one end of the secret passage was in her room, she was naturally suspicious. ”
Tang Da nodded.
Although he was also very curious about why Ye Feng was investigating these things at this time, instead of rushing to find out the Five Poison Sects, he had always been very confident in Ye Feng, so he didn't ask.
It's just that he still asked with some concern: "What about you?"
Ye Feng smiled: "As for me, of course I'm going to Miss Cheng to see how the situation is going over there?"
