Chapter 38 Thirty-six Villages in the Green Forest

Ye Feng looked at Ji Wushuang with a look of affirmation, and was a little secretly surprised in his heart.

The Ji family, which is rich in the world, looks like it's just a wealthy family, and the Providence Building under their leadership looks like it's just a loose business alliance with businesses all over the world.

However, Ji Wushuang can easily find out a person's whereabouts and movements ten years ago based on records, and with such a complete collection and management of information, even the government is far from being able to reach it, this Heavenly Providence Building is really a bit terrifying.

What kind of organization is this?

Looking at Ji Wushuang, who was full of confidence, Ye Feng secretly had some vigilance in his heart.

Ji Wushuang seemed to be unaware of Ye Feng's thoughts at the moment, and continued: "With the rules set by Lin Suifeng back then, those who can be invited to Tingtao Villa and have the opportunity to study and learn those collected sword books are undoubtedly not famous swordsmen in the world. ”

And Feng Mingli, whether it was his swordsmanship or fame back then, was far from meeting this standard, so it was impossible for him to be invited by Lin Suifeng to enter Tingtao Villa. ”

However, five years later, when he left Songshan Tingtao Villa and returned to his hometown, his swordsmanship was already the same as before, and since then he has been smooth sailing, famous, and has become a well-known swordsman in the rivers and lakes. ”

"No one has ever been able to live in Tingtao Villa for five years, even those well-known swordsmen who have been invited, after testing their swordsmanship with Lin Suifeng, are only allowed to freely consult the collection of books in the villa for a month, and they must leave when the period expires. ”

"Feng Mingli has been in Tingtao Villa for five years and has learned advanced swordsmanship, so I believe that his identity is not just a guest, and there may be a more secret relationship between him and Lin Suifeng. ”

When Ye Feng and Chang Wuyi heard this, they both nodded and agreed with Ji Wushuang's judgment.

Ji Wushuang paused, and then said: "In addition, Feng Mingli has another suspicion on his body, which can be used as evidence. ”

Ye Feng asked, "What suspicions?"

Ji Wushuang said: "Although the Feng family has a thin family property in Lingbao City, it is a big family, but it is a pity that these generations of descendants of the Feng family are obsessed with practicing swords and martial arts, and they are not good at management, and they have no progress, so when it was passed on to Feng Mingli, the Feng family was actually already sitting on the mountain, but there was only a weak shell left. ”

Ten years ago, the Feng family had already had economic problems in their eyes and was heavily in debt, and Feng Mingli sold all the family's land and property to pay off the debt. The reason why he chose to go away and travel the rivers and lakes is not unrelated to the economic crisis at home. ”

But after he returned to Lingbao City from Tingtao Villa five years later, the Feng family suddenly seemed to have made a fortune, and the Feng family not only got rid of the economic crisis, but redeemed all the land and property sold before, and this day seems to be getting more and more prosperous. ”

Feng Mingli was even more generous, willing to give, often helping poor people in Lingbao City, becoming a famous local benevolent person, and making friends in the rivers and lakes, never caring about money, and gradually won the reputation of the gentleman's sword. ”

"But according to the records of my Heavenly Providence Building, the Feng family has not had any business dealings with the outside world worth mentioning over the years, and there is no other livelihood at all except for the rent collection of the land under their name. This income is far from enough to support Feng Mingli's lavish expenses. ”

"So," a mysterious smile appeared on Ji Wushuang's face, "I suspect that during the five years that this Feng Mingli has been in Tingtao Mountain Villa, he must have not only learned advanced swordsmanship, but also seemed to have found a new way to make money. ”

Ye Feng looked at the smile on Ji Wushuang's face, he believed that Ji Wushuang must be right.

With the wide range of business involved in the Tianyi Building, no matter what kind of business the Feng family does, there is no doubt that they will deal with the Tianyi Building more or less.

Since Ji Wushuang, who is the owner of the Providence Building, asserts that the Feng family has no other livelihood at all, it must be none.

But what way will Feng Mingli find to make money in Tingtao Villa?

The smile on Ji Wushuang's face remained unchanged, and he said with some meaning:

"The two of you must not forget, the owner of Tingtao Mountain Villa, the world's number one swordsman Lin Suifeng, who is his other identity, right?"

When Ye Feng and Chang Wuyi heard this, their faces changed.

Of course, they will not forget that Lin Suifeng, the world's number one swordsman with a good reputation, in addition to this prominent identity, he is also the Song Emperor among the ten palaces under Xuanyuan Gongzi.

Moreover, under the instruction of Xuanyuan Gongzi, he wore a mask and pretended to be someone else's identity, and formed the world-famous "Thirty-six Villages of the Green Forest", which gathered the famous underworld masters in Jiangbei at that time, killing people and robbing people, robbing homes and houses, and doing all kinds of evil, and he is the chief helmsman, the old man of Yunlong Sanxianfeng!

Later, his identity was revealed by Ye Feng, and he also died under the sword of Li Xuanzong, a famous Wudang guest, and the "Thirty-six Villages of the Green Forest" disappeared and ceased to exist. At that time, Chang Wuyi was also listening to the investigation of the Tao Villa and witnessed the incident.

Now that Ji Wushuang suddenly mentioned this matter, the hearts of the two of them moved, could it be that Feng Mingli's so-called way of making money is actually related to the "Thirty-six Villages of the Green Forest"?

Ye Feng and Chang Wuyi both couldn't help but set their eyes on Ji Wushuang.

At this time, Ji Wushuang suddenly shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said: "There is only so much I have investigated, I hope it will help Ye Gongzi, and the rest is beyond my ability, and then I will rely on the two of you." ”

That's all there is to it? That's a lot.

What Ji Wushuang told has roughly and clearly outlined the secrets hidden behind the gentleman's sword Feng Mingli, and the general outline of the secret side that has not been known to him for ten years has loomed.

Ye Feng turned his head to look at Chang Wuyi, the chief catcher of the Criminal Department, although he didn't speak, his meaning was already very clear, Ji Wushuang's son had already found out so much information, so what did the chief head catcher find?

Chang Wuyi's face was still cold, his eyes lowered and stared at the floor of the carriage, and he said without feeling: "I just found out the identity and background of the three people who died in the Feng Mansion, and there were originally some doubts, but now after listening to what Ji Gongzi said about Feng Mingli's secrets, it seems that it should be accurate." ”

Ye Feng asked, "What is the background of those three people?"

Chang Wuyi said coldly: "The Flying Star Hammer and the Ruthless Stick, although they are from the underworld, their martial arts are not outstanding, they are not big names, are there any bad deeds worth mentioning." ”

"The man nicknamed the rat is not more of a scoundrel who wanders the rivers and lakes, and he makes a living by inquiring about the gossip, but he knows a lot of people in the rivers and lakes and is very well-informed. ”

On the surface, these three people have no friendship with Feng Mingli, and there is no entanglement between them, no matter how you look at it, the three of them are not heroes, and they can't afford Feng Mingli to send a hero post to invite them to come and fight against a demon like the Flying Bat. ”

"So it's a strange thing in itself that all three of them are here and die here at the same time. ”

Ye Feng nodded, yes, this is exactly what he felt puzzled before.

Chang Wuyi's words were still emotionless, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "However, through I sent someone to review all the records of these three people, I found that there was a common denominator between these three people. ”

Ye Feng asked, "What do you have in common?"

Chang Wuyi said: "These three people were all suspected of being members of the Thirty-six Villages in the Green Forest before. ”

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment: "What? They are also from the Thirty-six Villages of the Green Forest?"

Chang Wuyi nodded and said: "The Flying Star Hammer and the Ruthless Stick are both ruthless and responsible for robbery, while the gangster nicknamed Rat is responsible for finding out the news and providing information. ”

"Over the years, at least half of the most notorious large-scale robberies in Jiangbei are suspected to have been led by them. It's just that they are vicious, none of the robbed caravans are alive, and the government has no evidence, so they can only be suspicious. ”

Chang Wuyi looked up at the leaf

Feng said: "Moreover, when we were dealing with Lin Suifeng in Songshan Tingtao Villa, these three people, together with the gentleman's sword Feng Mingli, were also in Songyang Town under the mountain at that time!"

Ye Feng couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this.

He remembered that when they dealt with Lin Suifeng in Tingtao Villa, in Songyang Town under the mountain, in order to stop Tang Da and his party who came to Tingtao Villa to support Ye Feng, the 36 villages of the green forest were almost all good, and all the elites were concentrated, led by Bai Xingxing, one of the protectors of the 36 villages, and did his best to intercept and kill Tang Da and them.

The tragedy of that battle, Ye Feng had heard Tang Da talk about it afterwards, Tang Da had a lot of good hands here, if it weren't for Cai Danshan of the Cai family in Luoyang, even if he brought the ten masters of the Cai family to help, I am afraid that even Tang Da would have to fall in that battle.

However, in the end, Tang Da and the others still won.

In the 36 villages of the green forest, the white ghost Bai Xing died in battle, and even the killer tailor and butcher who were invited to deal with the cold-blooded thirteen killings of Tang Da also died, and most of the underworld masters in the 36 villages were killed and injured, and the 36 villages of the green forest have since disappeared on the rivers and lakes.

Unexpectedly, the Flying Star Hammer and the Ruthless Stick were also present at that time, and they still survived. In this way, the identity of the people in the thirty-six villages of their green forest is undoubtedly determined.

It's just that I didn't expect that the three of them could escape in Songyang Town, but now they still inevitably die in this Feng Mansion.

Ye Feng lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Now, according to the investigation results of Ji Wushuang and Chang Wuyi, the Flying Star Hammer, the Ruthless Stick, and the little gangster nicknamed the Rat who died in the Feng Mansion were all characters from the Thirty-six Villages of the Green Forest.

Not only that, but even the now famous gentleman sword Feng Mingli, and the former first swordsman Lin Suifeng in Tingtao Villa, that is, the old man Yunlong Sanxianfeng, the chief helmsman of the 36th village of the green forest, have some inexplicable secrets.

So will there be any relationship between this gentleman sword Feng Daxia and the thirty-six villages of the green forest?

Those three people died in the Feng Mansion by coincidence, what is the connection with this?

Also, the blue-shirted swordsman in the Feng Mansion who died last night, and the beautiful wife of Cai Laoliu who sold baked cakes by the stream in the western suburbs that Zhang Fatzi saw with his own eyes and was killed by the black shadow, what kind of connection does this have with everything?

Ye Feng felt that when everything was becoming clearer and clearer in front of him, the truth behind it was becoming more and more blurred.

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Let's go, let's go to the inn now!"

Chang Wuyi was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing at the inn?"

Ye Feng said: "I think of a person, maybe he can be a witness and reveal some true colors about this gentleman sword Feng Daxia for us." ”

Chang Wuyi thought about it, and soon he understood who Ye Feng was talking about.

At this time, Ji Wushuang on the side smiled and said: "That's right, no matter what the truth of this matter is, it is estimated that it will not start until tonight, so we are not in a hurry, before this, we had better relax, recuperate, and wait to see this good show at night." ”

Chang Wuyi frowned, and said with some sneer: "Ji Gongzi is so leisurely, just to watch the play." ”

Ji Wushuang smiled disappreciatively, and said: "I originally came here to watch the excitement, as for solving the case, of course, it is the head of the master and this extremely smart Ye Gongzi, how dare you trespass?"

He suddenly changed the topic and said: "Speaking of which, in this Lingbao City, I also have several restaurants and teahouses in the Heavenly Providence Building, which are not bad, and there are also one or two in the Chu Pavilion of the Qin Building, I don't know where the two of you are willing to go to relax?"

Sighing at the place of the wind and the moon, Chang Wuyi has never been interested, and at the moment he frowned heavily and snorted from his nose.

Ye Feng looked at Ji Wushuang with a relaxed face, but he was thinking in his heart, he was right, no matter who the protagonist of this big scene tonight is, and how to play it, I'm afraid, it's a long night!

Ye Feng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
