Ye Feng raised his head and saw from a distance in front of the courtyard gate of the inner house, Guan Pengju, the eldest son of the Guan family, standing there, and a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in white clothes was saying something to him in his ear.

This man said that his thick eyebrows and big eyes are really not bad at all, his pair of eyebrows are really special, thick and thick, straight into the sideburns, which is particularly impressive.

As soon as Ye Feng turned around, the scene in front of him couldn't help but make him stunned for a moment.

Tang Rou and Zhang Fatzi all looked at the white-clothed man beside Guan Pengju in a daze, with a stunned expression, and muttered the same thing in their mouths: "It's him, that's right, it's him!"

Ye Feng didn't understand it for a while, but when he turned around and saw the logo of the green dragon dart game embroidered on the chest of the white clothes worn by the man with thick eyebrows, the black coiling dragon pattern, he immediately understood.

The meaning of Tang Rou and Zhang Fatzi is obvious, the man in white who met with the lama at the root of the city wall, and the man in white who met with Imperial Doctor Jian's disciple last night are actually one person.

He is the thick-eyebrow man in front of him!

Ye Feng blinked, turned his head and asked Mr. Arazuki on the side, "Who is the person who is talking to Grand Prince Guan?"

Mr. Arakitsuki glanced up absentmindedly and replied, "Oh, he, his name is Guan Yuntian, and he is the son of the fourth brother who has been adopted since he was a child. ”

Ye Feng was stunned: "Moth Yizi?"

Mr. Arakitsuki said: "It is said that in the early years, the fourth brother encountered a strong enemy when he was dart, and he was seriously injured and was chased and killed, and he hid in this kid's house. In order to cover the injured fourth brother, his parents were killed by gangsters, and only the toddler, who was still a toddler at the time, survived. Later, after the fourth brother recovered from his injury, he avenged his parents, and brought the child back to the dart game, adopted as a righteous son, and raised him. ”

The fourth brother named him Yuntian, which is to commemorate the actions of his parents. The fourth brother treated him like his own son, and let him grow up with the boss of the Guan family. They have a very good relationship, eat and live together, study and practice martial arts together, just like brothers. It wasn't until there was Pengfei later that the fourth brother loved his young son, so he gradually alienated them. ”

Ye Feng nodded "oh", it seems that this Guan Yuntian is naturally closer to Guan Pengju, the eldest son of the Guan family. But why did he secretly meet with the lama and the disciples of Imperial Physician Jian?

Does this have anything to do with Prince Guan?

Ye Feng shook his head and sneered, it seems that the matter of the Qinglong Dart Bureau Guan family is really getting more and more interesting.

Seeing that it was not early, Ye Feng and the others said goodbye to Guan Pengju and returned to the inn, but Mr. Arazuki said that he was not worried about Guan Si and wanted to stay. With his friendship with the old man, it is common to stay overnight in the Guan family, and Guan Pengju is naturally full of promises.

He didn't keep Ye Feng and them for the night, thinking that it was because the family was holding a funeral, which was really inconvenient, but he still very politely personally sent Ye Feng and his party out of the gate of the Qinglong Dart Bureau.

When parting, he held Ye Feng's hand and said, "My father's condition is still unstable, and I will invite Ye Gongzi and Miss Cheng to come over early tomorrow." ”

I can't say why, the more polite he is, the more Ye Feng feels that there is a weirdness in his body, especially his last sentence, Ye Feng always feels that there is something else, but he can't say it.

On the way back to the inn, Tang Rou said: "It seems that this Guan Dagongzi is very good, he is very polite and capable, this Guan family has such a big thing, and he is left alone inside and out, which is really difficult for him." ”

Is it embarrassing for him? Ye Feng just smiled and didn't answer, he was still thinking about Guan Pengju's last sentence just now.

In fact, he couldn't be sure whether that sentence contained a deep meaning or not, but it was a feeling without any reason.

Moreover, Ye Feng's feeling has always been very accurate.

Thinking like this along the way, I have unconsciously returned to the inn.

As soon as I entered the lobby of the inn, I saw a person sitting in the hall, and when I saw Ye Feng and them coming in, he suddenly stood up, and said with a smile: "Ye Gongzi, you are back, but the lower officials have been waiting for a long time." ”

Could it be that this is an official of the imperial court?

Ye Feng was a little surprised in his heart, and looked him up and down.

This person is not tall, with a fat head and big ears, a big round belly, and he looks like a ball of meat, and the whole thing seems to be a fat man who is one size smaller.

Although he was wearing an ordinary silk shirt, judging from the innkeeper and his companions who looked trembling and respectful on the side, his identity must be unusual.

Ye Feng hurriedly returned the salute and asked, "I don't know who the adult is?"

The fat man looked very kind with a smile, without a little arrogance, and looked like a kind and wealthy person, not at all like a court official, but like a shopkeeper who did business with guests from all over the world.

He nodded and introduced himself: "Xiaguan is a small Lanzhou prefect, Zhou Ziran. ”

Ye Feng and the others were all shocked in their hearts, the prefect was the highest administrator appointed by the imperial court in a state, and the amiable fat man in front of him didn't look like the biggest parent official in Lanzhou City anyway.

Ye Feng hurriedly said: "The grass people didn't know that the prefect had arrived, not only did they not greet him, but they also waited for a long time, which is really guilty. ”

Zhou Ziran smiled, and there was a bit of bitterness in his smile: "Ye Gongzi is too polite, maybe the prefects in other places are quite beautiful, but this Lanzhou where the lower officials are located......"

He didn't say any more, but Ye Feng and the others already understood after a little thought.

Although the prefect is the supreme administrator of a state, Lanzhou is located in the northwest border, and the border pass has always been more military orders than government orders, and the actual power of the generals in charge of the army is often greater than that of the local administrator.

What's more, there are also Zhu Ao, the king of Su who is "the first class of the Son of Heaven", and Ma Jing, a close confidant of the emperor who ordered him to come to supervise the army, between these two, and his suffering as the prefect of Lanzhou can also be imagined.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Ye Feng hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "I don't know why Lord Zhou deigned to come to find the grass people?"

Zhou Ziran didn't answer immediately, but glanced back at the innkeeper and the guy who were standing aside, they immediately understood, nodded and laughed and exited the lobby.

The prefect invited Ye Feng and the others to take a seat first, and then said cautiously: "Xiaguan heard today that there was a murder in the Guan family of the Qinglong Dart Bureau, one of the best in Lanzhou City, and the second son, Guan Pengfei, died. After hearing the news, His Royal Highness King Su had already appointed Ye Gongzi to investigate, and it was not appropriate for the lower officials to interfere again, but one was the responsibility, and the other was worried that Ye Gongzi was not familiar with your life and needed assistance, so he took the liberty to come to inquire. ”

These words were simply watertight, not only shirking the responsibility of the government's inaction in the life case, but also logically putting the burden of solving the case on Ye Feng.

Ye Feng asked casually: "What, didn't the Guan family come to report the case?"

Zhou Ziran smiled: "It's really not." After all, the Qinglong Dart Bureau eats the food of the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes are the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and they, the people of the rivers and lakes, have always been unwilling to have too much to do with the government. ”

Ye Feng looked at the prefect in front of him with an old and cunning smile, but he was secretly muttering in his heart.

The news that Ye Feng was sent by His Royal Highness King Su to investigate the Guan family's murder case was just nonsense from Mr. Huangyue in the Qinglong Dart Bureau before, and it was only a few hours away.

The purpose of Mr. Arazuki's remark is unknown, but if the prefect in front of him, who seems to be cautious and timid, really did not intervene in this case and knew nothing, how did he know the news?

It seems that Zhou Ziran, the prefect of Lanzhou, can sit firmly in this Lanzhou city where the prince and the Qinming Prison Army are sandwiched, and he really has some ability.

He smiled slightly and said, "The grass people have already examined the body of Guan Ergongzi, and it is indeed that he was killed by someone through the throat with a sword, and there are no other injuries on his body. And the old man Guan Si couldn't withstand this huge blow, and he also suffered a stroke and fell to the ground, half of his body was paralyzed, and he is still delirious. ”

Zhou Ziran listened to Ye Feng's words, fell into deep thought, and muttered to himself: "Is the murder weapon a sword? Speaking of which, Guan Ergongzi's martial arts are not bad, in Lanzhou City, he is famous for his sword, can he kill him with a sword, is it Mr. Huangyue?"

It seems that he has known the news of Guan Si's stroke for a long time, and he is not surprised at all, but is more concerned about the cause of Guan Ergongzi's death.

Ye Feng looked at Zhou Ziran and said with a smile: "Listening to what Lord Zhou said, you also know martial arts?"

Zhou Ziran was suddenly awakened by his question, and hurriedly smiled and covered up: "Xiaguan is a scholar, where do you know any martial arts, but you only know some superficial skins." ”

Ye Feng didn't ask any more, but said lightly: "The murderer will never be Mr. Arazuki. ”

Zhou Ziran frowned and asked, "But why?"

Ye Feng said: "From the time he heard the bad news of the second son of the Guan family to the time he saw the corpse, his grief was no less than that of the father who lost his biological son, so I believe that the murderer will never be him." ”

Zhou Ziran was a little disapproving: "There are many treacherous people in this world, how do you know that he didn't deliberately pretend to be grief?"

Ye Feng didn't respond, just looked at this Lord Zhou with a smile.

As the saying goes, "treat others with yourself", this Lord Zhou seems to be treacherous enough, so in his eyes, maybe everyone else is the same.

Zhou Ziran suddenly felt speechless, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Of course, everything still depends on Ye Gongzi's investigation, Ye Gongzi has repeatedly solved strange cases over the years, gained fame, and won the favor of the emperor and the prince, if you want to crack this case, it will be just around the corner, and the real murderer will be captured." ”

After a bit of fart, he smiled a little flatteringly: "If Ye Gongzi needs any help in the investigation, please just ask." There are more than ten catchers under the lower officials, although the martial arts are low, but they have an order, they must go all out, and please Ye Gongzi is not polite. ”

Ye Feng thanked with a smile: "In this way, the grass people have thanked the adults first." ”

After a while, Zhou Ziran said goodbye and left, looking at his meat-like back, Tang Rou said fiercely: "Pretending to be a dead fat man!"

In one sentence, the fat man Zhang beside her looked at her with a shocked face.

Tang Rou said impatiently to Zhang Fatzi: "What are you looking at? I'm not talking about you! I'm talking about the dead fat man who was an official just now." ”

Zhang Fatzi held back for a long time, only held out one word "You ......" and turned his head and kept silent.

Confucius said, only women and villains are difficult to raise, as the saying goes, good men don't fight with women, I want to be a seven-foot body, why bother with a little girl!

Ye Feng asked Tang Rou with a smile at this time: "Why do you say that this Lord Zhou is pretending?"

Tang Rou snorted: "He said that he doesn't understand martial arts, but when I look at his body and steps, he is clearly a master, but I don't know what martial arts he is practicing?"

Ye Feng nodded, yes, he actually saw it, this Lord Zhou is obviously a master but wants to pretend that he doesn't understand martial arts, he is already secretly investigating the Guan family, but he deduces that it is inconvenient to meddle in the Guan family's murder.
