Chapter Twenty-Nine
Night falls.
The Zeng family's compound on the outskirts of the city also sank into silent darkness, with only the faint lights flickering in the night.
Suddenly, a "squeak" broke the silence of the night, and the back door of the Zeng family's compound suddenly opened quietly.
The door opened a crack first, and a figure flashed out, and after standing in front of the door and looking left and right for a while, he was sure that there was no one around, and turned back and beckoned.
The two heavy wooden doors of the back door were quickly pushed open, and a carriage slowly drove out of it.
The pallet behind the carriage was tightly covered with cloth, and it seemed to be full of things, and it seemed to be extremely heavy to drive, and it seemed that the weight of the goods behind it was not light.
In a bush not far from the back door, Uncle Nail was staring at the carriage that was slowly driving out without blinking, and said, "I really let you say it, sure enough, the Zeng family has moved tonight." ”
He said this to the fat man next to him.
Zhang Fatzi was leisurely holding his hands at the moment, lying aside, closing his eyes and recuperating, hearing Uncle Nail's words, he smiled and said: "That Zeng family encountered the presence of the person who pretended to be Ye Feng last night, although he barely repelled the other party, but I don't know if the other party still has a helper, and when will he come again? ”
"But what did this Zeng do outside? Not only did he not keep those martial arts masters he had invited with a lot of money, but he also did not seek help from others, and even drove away all the yamen hunters who stayed in the mansion under the pretext of excuses. ”
"As soon as I heard the county magistrate Zhou talk about this, I felt that there must be something strange in this, this Zeng was a well-known miser, miser, thinking that the person who pretended to be Ye Feng left a book for him was not just for some cash in his family, I expected that there must be a heavy treasure hidden in the compound of his family!"
"Now after what happened last night, it is conceivable that this Zeng must have been rumored to be a rumor, and I guess he must be in a hurry to transfer the heavy treasures in the mansion as soon as possible. That's why he drove those catchers away, because he didn't want to be noticed. ”
Zhang Fatzi closed his eyes and smiled: "It seems that my luck is good, this Zeng is really a breathless and anxious person, and sure enough, there was an action tonight, it seems that this trip is not in vain." ”
After a moment of thought, he said to himself again: "But speaking of which, the set of swordsmanship used by the idiot son of the Zeng family last night is really very powerful, and it seems to look quite familiar." It's just, it's just that I can't remember where I've seen it for a while......"
As he spoke, he heard the shouting of the man who drove the carriage, and the two horses pulling the carriage neighed and galloped towards the south.
Uncle Nail moved and said, "Let's go with it too." ”
Just about to get up, Zhang Fatzi on the side grabbed him and whispered, "Don't worry, take a look." ”
Uncle Nail was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Zhang Fatzi meant by his words, but he still bowed down obediently.
As soon as I looked up, I vaguely saw several black shadows in the shadows of the grass and trees on both sides of the road, following the carriage.
Uncle Nail was stunned: "Who are these?"
Zhang Fatzi still closed his eyes and said leisurely: "They are all people who covet the treasures of the Zeng family! It is estimated that they are also like me, and they have seen these unusual actions of Zeng Yuanwai, and it is expected that he will definitely covet the transfer of treasures tonight, so they are waiting here." ”
Uncle Nail wondered, "Then why don't we follow? What are we waiting for here?"
Zhang Fatzi smiled faintly and said, "What's the hurry, haven't you heard that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry?"
Expecting Uncle Nail to understand, he asked again: "Don't you think it's strange?
The man who drove the carriage shouted loudly, and made the horse neigh, and made such a big noise, as if he were afraid that others would not know about it. ”
Uncle Nail thought about it, it was indeed a little strange. The transfer of treasure is such a secret thing, it really shouldn't make such a big noise, Zhang Fatzi said that there is indeed some truth.
Zhang Fatzi smiled and said, "Wait a minute, it seems that this good show is still to come!"
The back door of Zeng's mansion was closed tightly again, and Uncle Nail stared at the two closed doors suspiciously, waiting to see if Zhang Fatzi was right.
Half an hour has passed, and there is no movement in Zeng's mansion, Uncle Nail feels a little unbreathable, could it be that Zhang Fatzi is wrong?
Just as he was wondering, the back door of the Zeng Mansion suddenly opened again, and three carriages slowly came out of it.
The carriage was covered with a black curtain, and the horses pulling it were all black, and the whole thing seemed to blend into the dark night, and if it weren't for the faint light of the lantern at the door, it would not have been easy to find.
The horses had their heads bowed and did not come out of their breath, indicating that the drivers were experienced, and they were silent, apparently with something like straw wrapped around their hooves to reduce the noise.
Uncle Nail couldn't help but whisper with some excitement: "It's really here!"
Zhang Fatzi opened his eyes, looked up, and saw that it was three carriages, and couldn't help but exclaim: "My good man, the rich man of the Zeng family seems to have a lot of treasures hidden!"
Uncle Nail said with some admiration: "Such a cunning strategy was actually seen through by you at a glance, you are really powerful." ”
Zhang Fatzi smiled proudly and said: "Since I was a child, my old man hoped that I could inherit his position, lead the army to fight, and gallop on the battlefield, so he forced me to read a lot of military books.
"As soon as I saw this Zeng Yuan last night, I knew that he was a cunning and cunning person, so I had long expected that he would definitely play tricks, but now I see that it is true. ”
Uncle Nail smiled: "It seems that these military books when you were a child really didn't read in vain." ”
As he spoke, three black carriages slowly moved forward, retreating into the dark night, all the way to the north.
Zhang Fatzi patted Uncle Nail, and the two of them unfolded their bodies and secretly followed.
In order to reduce the noise, the three carriages did not move very fast, so it felt effortless for the two to follow.
Zhang Fatzi secretly observed, it seemed that those who were staring at the Zeng Mansion and coveting those treasures had all been led away by the previous carriage, and now only the two of them were left with the three carriages.
The carriage was heading north, and it was about to pass through the woods in front of it and enter the official road, but for some reason, it suddenly stopped.
Zhang Fatzi and the others rushed up to take a look, and in the middle of the road where the carriage was going, a tree with the thickness of a bowl mouth was lying in it horizontally, just blocking the direction of the carriage.
The driver of the first car jumped down, lit a lantern, and muttered to the front to check, and just walked in front of the fallen tree, suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and a figure stood in front of him.
The light of the lantern shone on his face, that eyebrows, that look, Zhang Fat almost screamed, this person was his righteous brother Ye Feng!
When the coachman saw Ye Feng at first glance, he was greatly surprised, and he held the lantern and asked, "Who are you?"
Ye Feng looked at him, a very cruel smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said, "You don't have to know this. ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, the fat man Zhang who was hiding on the side was shocked, no, this is not Ye Feng!
This voice is very familiar to him, this is the person who broke into the Zeng family's compound last night, the person who pretended to be Ye Feng.
This Ye Feng is a fake!
After Fake Ye Feng finished speaking, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and the lantern fell to the ground, and the coachman also fell to the ground with a pop, and there was no movement.
Seeing this, the coachmen of the remaining two carriages shouted in panic, jumped out of the carriage and rushed into the woods beside them, and disappeared.
Fake Ye Feng didn't take them to heart at all, let them escape, he just walked slowly towards the black carriage parked on the road step by step, and said to himself proudly: "Spare you treacherous like a ghost, you still can't jump out of the palm of my hand, I deliberately retreated last night, I have long expected you to have this trick." Didn't you obediently deliver these treasures to me in the end?"
As he spoke, he reached out and lifted the black curtain covering the carriage, and under the curtain were several large wooden boxes neatly stacked.
The moment he lifted the curtain, one of the wooden boxes suddenly shattered, and a sword light rose like lightning and disappeared.
Fake Ye Feng retreated sharply, retreating more than a dozen steps in a row before stopping, his shoulders were red, obviously he had been hit by the sword.
In front of him, the person who jumped out of the wooden box and injured him with a sword turned out to be Zeng Yuanwai!
Fat Zhang and Uncle Nail, who were lying on the side, were all taken aback and couldn't help but glance at each other.
This sword, Zhang Fatzi saw it last night, and it was in the hands of the idiot son of the Zeng family at that time, but tonight, when it was used in the hands of Zeng Yuanwai, it was still faster and more vicious than in the hands of his son!
Zeng Yuan actually knows martial arts, and his swordsmanship is still above his idiot son?
Zhang Fat Man was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
Fake Ye Feng also looked very surprised, he looked at Zeng Yuanwai, and asked in disbelief, "You, why are you hiding in the box?"
Zeng Yuanwai smiled proudly: "I'm sorry to frighten you, but I calculated all this." I have deliberately driven away all the outsiders from my house in order to make you think that I must be in a hurry to divert this treasure, and I have deliberately used another carriage to distract others, just to convince you that these three carts are the real treasures. And I'm hiding in the box, waiting to bring you this surprise!"
His face suddenly sank, and he asked, "Now it's time for you to answer my question, are you Ye Feng, and who is your true identity?"
Fake Ye Feng suddenly smiled, reached out and touched the blood flowing from the wound on his shoulder, and said, "You really shocked me this time, I didn't expect that you could hurt me with your skills." ”
Zeng Yuan's color changed outside, and he said in a cold voice: "Last night, I saw that your martial arts were definitely above me, and you just intended to retreat at that time." It's just that now that you're injured, do you think you can still beat me?"
Fake Ye Feng laughed and said, "What is this injury? Soon you will know what kind of consequences will be incurred if you hurt the people of the Jiang Nan Ming family!"
When the fat man Zhang on the side heard this, his heart was shocked, it seems that the fifth floor of the demon is not bad at all, this fake Ye Feng is really from the Jiangnan Ming family!
Zeng Yuanwai's face also changed, of course he knew the name of the Jiangnan Ming family: "You, you are from the Jiangnan Ming family?"
Fake Ye Feng laughed and said: "Except for the Jiangnan Ming family, who can make such a vivid mask just by one side? Who can find out so many secrets behind you, a wealthy man who seems to be honest?"
After speaking, his face suddenly sank: "Okay, now let's see, how many successful husbands did you learn from the dead old ghost Lin back then?"
Hearing him say "Old Ghost Lin", Zhang Fatzi's heart suddenly brightened, no wonder he always felt that the swordsmanship used by Zeng Yuanwai and his idiot son was so familiar, and now he remembered where he had seen it.
A name suddenly jumped out of his mind, Lin Suifeng!
