When Ye Feng returned to the city inn from the mass grave, it was already late at night.

Lord Zhao Zongru, the prefect of Xi'an, was sitting in the inn waiting for him at the moment.

Seeing Lord Zhao, Ye Feng still felt some surprise in his heart.

In his imagination, since the prefect Zhao had already announced the closure of the city and mobilized the army to personally command the blockade outside the city, for the sake of safety, he should not venture into the city again.

However, this Zhao Governor did not avoid danger and personally entered the city to see Ye Feng, which made Ye Feng a little unexpected.

Seeing Ye Feng and Tang Da walking into the inn, Zhao Zongru immediately stood up and saluted.

Ye Feng couldn't help but ask, "In such a critical situation, why did Lord Zhao enter the city?"

His eyes glanced at Chang Wuyi, the chief arrester of the Criminal Department who was sitting on the side, and thought to himself, could it be that this chief arrester relied on his official authority and martial arts to forcibly force Governor Zhao to enter the city?

Chang Wuyi shrugged his shoulders a little innocently, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Zhao Zongru hurriedly explained: "Lord Chang came to spread the word that Ye Gongzi was looking for clues here and needed manpower to cooperate, so Xia Guan hurried into the city to see what assistance Ye Gongzi needed." ”

Ye Feng said: "Lord Zhao can send some people to the next place, so why do you have to go to the danger and enter the city in person?"

Zhao Zongru sighed and said: "Xiaguan is the parent official of Xi'an City, and it is a big crime to not be able to protect the safety and health of all the people in the city, and now that I know that Miss Cheng ignored the danger and stayed alone among the patients to test the medicine, Ye Gongzi did not avoid the risk and ran around to seek clues, and Xiaguan could hide outside the city in order to protect his own body and avoid seeing it?"

"In that case," Lord Zhao shook his head and said, "What face will Xia Guan have in the future to see Miss Cheng and Ye Gongzi again, and what face will he face the people in Xi'an City again?"

These words were quite emotional, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel very emotional when he heard it, it seems that this Lord Zhao is really a good official who cares about the people.

Having parents like this is really a blessing for the people of Xi'an!

Just as he was sighing, Zhao Zongru opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what clues Ye Gongzi has in his hands now, and how do you need to cooperate with the lower officials?"

Ye Feng thought about it, and no longer concealed anything from Lord Zhao, and said: "According to Miss Cheng's preliminary judgment, this epidemic should be deliberately spread by evil people with ill intentions. ”

Deliberately spreading?

Zhao Zongru only felt a little unbelievable when he heard this, and asked in a lost voice: "This plague can also be manipulated by people? This is really unheard of." ”

Ye Feng said with a straight face: "According to Miss Cheng, this epidemic may indeed be manipulated by someone, and this time such a serious plague in Xi'an City is likely to have a huge conspiracy behind it. ”

Conspiracy?

Zhao Zongru only felt a little dumbfounded: "What kind of person would care about the life and death of more than 100,000 innocent people for what purpose, and do this evil thing that has lost his conscience?"

Ye Feng shook his head: "I don't know who it is yet, but we are investigating this matter at the moment, so we need to borrow some people from Lord Zhao to search for this evil murderer." ”

Zhao Zongru only felt indignant, and said angrily: "This is naturally no problem, such a heinous villain is simply intolerable!"

After finishing speaking, he blinked, he seemed to think of something, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped: "Speaking of which, if you say so, there is ...... in this Xi'an city."

Before he could finish speaking, a voice suddenly sounded outside the inn door, interrupting him: "I didn't expect that the dignified prefect would venture into the city at night, it's really unexpected!"

Hearing this voice, Zhao Zongru seemed to be a little jealous, shrunk his neck, and closed his mouth.

As soon as Ye Feng turned around, he saw two people striding in from outside the door.

One of the tall and burly men with an expressionless face is none other than Jiao Ke, the "mountain splitting axe" who has been following the son of Providence Lou Ji Wushuang.

And the other is a celebrity in Xi'an City, one of the seven swords famous in the world, "Cangsong Sword" Fan Songxi.

Jiao Ke walked in, came straight to Ye Feng's side, and said without any emotion: "Gongzi sent me to pass on a message, what Ye Gongzi needs to investigate, now there are results." ”

Ye Feng

Hearing this, I couldn't help but perk up, and asked, "How?"

Jiao Ke still didn't have a little expression on his face, and said in a wooden voice: "All the old ladies over fifty years old who entered Xi'an City within a month before the outbreak of the plague, three of them stayed in the city inn, and two of them went to relatives and friends, but after investigation, none of them were suspicious, and two of them died in this plague, and they should not be the people Ye Gongzi wanted to find." ”

"Oh!" Ye Feng's face couldn't help but show a look of deep disappointment.

Originally, after the suspicion of the murderer was locked on the body of Lan Pozi, the master of the Five Poison Sect, Ye Feng hoped that he could find out the whereabouts of this Lan Pozi with the power of the Heavenly Providence Building.

But now it seems that it is also in vain.

Since he is the master of the Five Poison Sect, he can send his men to spread the Gu poison, and he doesn't have to enter the city himself.

Or, her whereabouts are too secretive and she will not be contacted by the outside world at all, and the Heavenly Providence Building will naturally have no way of knowing.

Either way, the road has been blocked anyway.

Ye Feng was annoyed, Fan Songxi stepped forward and said to Ye Feng: "According to Miss Cheng's instructions, I have prepared all the cloth towels and soaked them in the medicinal juice that was boiled according to Miss Cheng's prescription, and now my son Fan Jin has gone to distribute them to all the residents in the city with a group of people." ”

As soon as he raised his hand, he held a cloth bag in his hand, opened it, and there were several prepared cloth towels inside: "This is for Ye Gongzi and a few of you, so I will bring it myself, and by the way, see how Ye Gongzi's investigation is going here?"

Either way, it's still good news.

Ye Feng and the others each reached out and picked up a cloth towel, this cloth towel exuded a strong smell of medicine, smelling sick, if it was really covered on the face, it would be very smoky.

Ye Feng was most afraid of the smell of medicine in his life, he took the cloth towel in his hand, hesitated, and really didn't want to put it on his face immediately.

Fan Songxi looked back at Lord Zhao Zongru, the prefect of Xi'an, who was sitting on the side, and said a little coldly: "On the way here, I met this entourage of Ji Gongzi, so I came together. I didn't expect to see that when I arrived here, I would see that our wise and powerful prefect would venture into the city, which is really surprising!"

He picked up a cloth towel and handed it over: "My lord, I'd better put on the cloth towel quickly, otherwise if you are infected with this epidemic, it will not be fun, the thousands of troops and horses outside the city are still waiting for the adults to command, and the people of Li in this world are still waiting for the adults to protect it!"

His words were full of cynicism, and Zhao Zongru's face turned red and white for a while, and his expression was quite embarrassed, and he was stunned for a while, whether he took the cloth towel handed over by Fan Songxi, and whether he didn't pick it up.

Ye Feng frowned when he saw this, it seemed that this famous celebrity in Xi'an City and this parent official in Xi'an City did not seem to be very harmonious between them.

However, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that after all, it was the prefect Zhao Zongru who ordered the city to be closed when he was unable to treat the epidemic, and used the army to block more than 100,000 people in the city, trapped in the city and left to fend for themselves.

Fan Songxi, who was born and raised in Xi'an and is almost the current spiritual leader of the people in the city, understands that Lord Zhao's decision is out of helplessness, in order to avoid the further spread of the epidemic and endanger all the people in the world.

However, Fan Songxi will inevitably have resentment in his heart for abandoning the fathers and elders in the city and sacrificing their lives, so it is understandable to ridicule a few words.

Therefore, although the prefect Zhao Zongru felt very embarrassed and annoyed at this time, he was not easy to attack, so he could only keep his face calm and bow his head without saying a word.

Seeing that this scene was getting more and more embarrassing, Ye Feng was about to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, when two more people walked in outside the door.

When I looked up, it was Ye Feng's two brothers-in-law, Zhang Fatzi and Xie Zhenliang who were back.

Seeing that Zhenliang came back safely, Ye Feng couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, where did you go?" The plague is spreading in the city at this moment, and you suddenly disappear like this, which really makes us worry about you." ”

Xie Zhenliang muttered before he could speak, and the fat man on the side was quick to speak, and replied first: "It's okay, the second brother just feels uncomfortable in his heart, and walks around casually." ”

Just take a walk?

Ye Feng stared at Xie Zhenliang with some suspicion, at this time

, How could Xie Zhenliang, who has always been steady, suddenly run around so willfully? This really doesn't make sense.

However, in front of so many people, it was inconvenient for him to continue to ask.

Xie Zhenliang couldn't explain anything to Ye Feng now, although he did feel that Fan Jin's whereabouts were a bit mysterious at the time, so he followed him, but then he lost it, and it was really difficult to explain the inconclusive things.

What's more, Fan Jin's father, Fan Songxi, was still standing at the scene.

Do you want to tell him in front of him that his son's whereabouts are mysterious and arouse suspicion?

Fortunately, when Xie Zhenliang hesitated, Zhang Fatzi was the fastest and had already answered for him.

At this time, Xie Zhenliang's heart couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately he didn't let Zhang Fatzi know about Miss Xiaofeng, otherwise with his mouth, maybe he would have been shaken out in front of everyone just now.

Thankfully, thankfully.

Their appearance interrupted the awkward atmosphere of the scene, Fan Songxi turned to Ye Feng and hugged his fist and said, "I don't know what else Ye Gongzi has here?"

Ye Feng secretly smiled bitterly, he had no power and no power at this time, he wanted to talk about his official position at the scene, there was Lord Zhao of the Xi'an Prefect, and Chang Wuyi, the chief catcher of the Criminal Department, if he wanted to talk about the power of the rivers and lakes, and the eldest young master of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, Tang Dazai, it was not his turn Ye Feng had the final say.

However, for some reason, it seems that everyone at this moment regards him as a hope to find clues to Gu poison, and he is the first to look forward, as if he is the core of this group.

There's a bit of irony.

However, he still shook his head at Fan Songxi and said, "There is nothing else to do for the time being, what to do next, I still need to think about it." ”

Fan Songxi nodded and said, "In this case, I'll go back first, there are still many things waiting to be dealt with over there." If Ye Gongzi has any needs, or if there is any news from Miss Cheng's side, please inform me immediately, and I will do my best to help. ”

Ye Feng nodded in thanks.

Fan Songxi glanced back at the prefect Zhao on the side, snorted coldly in his nose, didn't say a word, turned around and walked out.

Xie Zhenliang, who was standing by the door, suddenly spoke: "I'll send Mr. Fan." ”

After speaking, he walked out after Fan Songxi.

He and Fan Songxi were not familiar with each other, this move was quite unexpected, and even Fan Songxi couldn't help but glance at him with some surprise.

Walking out of the door of the inn, Xie Zhenliang finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "May I ask Mr. Fan, have you heard of this place of Red Sleeves?"

Fan Songxi was stunned for a moment, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he replied after a while: "This is one of the most famous green buildings in Xi'an City, Fan has naturally heard of it, and he doesn't want to even know about Gongzi Xie who came from afar?"

Qinglou?

Xie Zhenliang's whole body couldn't help but be shocked.

Could it be that Xiaofeng girl will be a laughing woman in the green building?

In his mind, the appearance of those vulgar fans with heavy makeup and flattering appearance in the Qinglou came to mind.

When Xiaofeng girl was holding the little white dog, her fresh and refined temperament was really far from the smiling woman in the Qinglou.

She could never be a woman like that!

At this time, Fan Songxi asked a little strangely: "The red-sleeved trick has been closed along with other shops since the epidemic was rampant, and it has never opened for business again, where did Gongzi Xie learn about it?"

Xie Zhenliang couldn't say that he had only been there today, so he could only answer vaguely: "I've heard people talk about this place before. ”

Fan Songxi nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Gongzi Xie would also like this kind of place." I heard that two months ago, Red Sleeves recruited a courtesan called Phoenix, who not only sang and poured everyone, but also was beautiful and incomprehensible, causing countless teenagers in Xi'an to go crazy. When the epidemic is over here, I will definitely accompany Gongzi Xie to have a good experience. ”

Phoenix?

Isn't that the little phoenix girl?

Could it be that she is really a person in the green building?

Or, she must have some kind of hardship and fell into the dust by mistake?

Xie Zhenliang was confused for a while, and he was completely deaf to what Fan Songxi said later.

Until Fan Songxi was far away, he was still standing in front of the inn in a daze, alone in a stupid daze.
