Chapter Seventy-Four: Liu Banxian's Identity
Ye Feng looked at Liu Banxian, his mind feeling a little confused.
Lingbao City is thousands of miles away from here, how could Liu Banxian, who was flamboyant and skillful on the streets of Lingbao at the beginning, appear here?
It can't be just a coincidence, right?
Liu Banxian stepped forward, looked at the corpse and blood all over the ground in the room, showed a sad look on his face, and sighed: "Unexpectedly, I'm still late." ”
Ye Feng stared at him and asked, "It's you, why are you here?"
Zhang Fatzi on the side was stunned: "Do you know him?"
Ye Feng didn't have time to explain to him the past of his encounter with this Liu Banxian, he asked Liu Banxian like a cannon, "Why did you come here, what do you have to do with the death of this Lang Zhong?"
Liu Banxian looked at Ye Feng with a surprised expression, and patiently waited for him to finish asking before he smiled and replied, "It turns out that Ye Gongzi still remembers me?
Zhang Fatzi was also taken aback when he heard this, why, they met when they were in Lingbao City?
Ye Feng snorted coldly and said, "Don't talk about anything else, answer my question!"
Liu Banxian smiled bitterly and replied: "Why do you want to ask Ye Gongzi knowingly, I'm just a person who walks the streets and alleys, looks at the fortune telling, and people give me a name, Liu Banxian!"
He pointed to the words on the cloth sign he held in his hand and smiled.
Ye Feng sneered: "Looking at the fortune teller, did you come here to show the dead people the fortune telling? first in Lingbao City, and now I met you here again, who are you? What are your intentions to follow us all the way?"
Liu Banxian smiled bitterly, shook his head, he couldn't hide it personally, sighed and said, "Actually, I didn't follow you, it was really just a coincidence." Do you believe that?"
Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi glanced at each other and sneered together, this, who would believe it?
Liu Banxian looked at the corpse in the room, and then said: "It's just that I do know this Lang Zhong here, and I also have to bear some responsibility for how much he died, because he was invited by me." ”
This Lang Zhong is a disciple of Doctor Cheng, and he has been practicing medicine in this town for more than ten years, why would this Liu Banxian say that he invited him?
Ye Feng was a little confused, and asked, "Who are you?"
Liu Banxian smiled and asked Ye Feng, "Young Master Ye, you might as well think back, when you were in Lingbao City, who else did you meet from Beijing?"
Ye Feng lowered his head and thought about it, at the beginning in Lingbao City, the gentleman sword Feng Mingli set a trap in the name of dealing with the flying bat, and invited the nearby rivers and lakes experts, martial arts colleagues, if you want to say that the people you meet in his mansion, it is too much.
However, if it is said that it is a person from Beijing, I am afraid that there is only one, that is, the chief arrester of the Criminal Department of Beijing, who is often unrighteous!
Ye Feng raised his eyes and looked at Liu Banxian and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Chang Wuyi and Chang Zong's head-hunting?"
Liu Banxian smiled faintly and said, "Ye Gongzi really has a good memory, I am Chang Wuyi's uncle." ”
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and he remembered.
Back then, when Chang Wuyi's father, Kuaijian Chang Mantian, was the chief catcher of the Criminal Department, the reason why he was able to solve strange cases repeatedly and become famous all over the world was actually related to the help of someone around him.
It is said that this person is Chang Mantian's junior disciple, and a fast sword is rare in the world, but this person is very mysterious, not only does he never show his face, but his name is never mentioned in the official documents, as if he never existed.
Ye Feng had only seen the relevant records from some of the old archives of Jinyiwei back then, and he only mentioned them slightly, and the writing was not clear.
Could it be this Liu Banxian in front of him?
Ye Feng looked
Looking at Liu Banxian, who was dressed in the market in front of him, he asked with some surprise: "You are the junior brother of Uncle Chang Mantian?"
Liu Banxian nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect Ye Gongzi to know that there is such a person as me, yes, I am Chang Mantian's junior brother, in fact, I have always served in the Criminal Department, but I have been hidden in the rivers and lakes, specializing in investigating and handling some important and suspicious cases, and my identity is special, so even there are only two or three people in the Criminal Department who know my special identity." ”
Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi glanced at each other again, both of them were surprised in their hearts, turned their heads, Ye Feng opened his mouth and asked, "When you were in Lingbao City, you actually went to investigate the case?"
Liu Banxian nodded: "Exactly, in fact, since the fall of the 36th Village of the Green Forest, the Criminal Department has been secretly tracking down those scattered remnants. From some clues, we have always suspected that Feng Mingli, the gentleman sword in Lingbao City, has something to do with this group of thieves, so we sent me to spy on them. ”
Ye Feng suddenly realized, why his group had just arrived at Feng Mingli's Mansion in Lingbao City as a guest, and Chang Wuyi rushed to Lingbao City with his hind feet, the reason why he knew his whereabouts must be the news that this Liu Banxian passed for him.
But what does he have to do with Lang Zhong who died here?
So Ye Feng opened his mouth and asked, "You just said that you invited this Langzhong, what does this mean?"
Liu Banxian sighed and said: "It's not a secret, I guess Ye Gongzi you already know how remote and desolate this town used to be, but in the past twenty years, it has become new and lively, all of which are related to several private mines in the vicinity." ”
Ye Feng nodded, they already knew this.
Liu Banxian said: "The imperial court has already issued a strict decree that all mineral deposits in the world are state-owned, and private mining is prohibited without authorization. Originally, it was enough to send someone to seal up such private mines, but in the process of doing this, they encountered huge resistance from the DPRK and China. ”
Ye Feng and the others were shocked when they heard this, the resistance from the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China? Could it be that behind these private mines, there are even officials from the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China?
At that time, it was still Emperor Taizu's dynasty, and when the matter reached the ears of Taizu, Long Yan was furious and handed over the case to the Criminal Department, and it was necessary to find out who was behind the case, and it was to be kept absolutely confidential. In desperation, the Criminal Department handed over the case to me and secretly came to investigate. ”
"But such a small town, located in a remote area, and the population is not large, if a character dressed as a man of the rivers and lakes like me has been in this place for too long, it is too eye-catching, it will inevitably arouse suspicion and startle snakes. ”
Liu Banxian turned his head to look at Lang Zhong's corpse and continued: "So I thought of this friend of mine, he is a disciple of Doctor Cheng, his medical skills are excellent, and he has assisted me in many cases before, and he knows each other very well, and he is trustworthy. ”
"And for such a town, a Langzhong who opened a medical clinic is exactly what they need, not easy to arouse suspicion, and there are many people in contact, so it is convenient to inquire about the news, so under my persuasion, he came here to open this medical clinic and secretly inquire for me to find out the news. It's just that I didn't expect that this investigation would have been here for more than ten years. ”
He sighed deeply and said: "Just a few days ago, I received a message from his flying pigeon, saying that the boss behind the private mine here has some eyebrows, so I rushed over in the starry night, but I didn't expect it, or I came a step too late." ”
He deeply regretted it, and Ye Feng was also sighing secretly in his heart.
Unexpectedly, this Lang Zhong, who looks like a game, would willingly live in seclusion in such a small town for more than ten years in order to help his friends solve the case, he is really a good man who values faith and righteousness!
It's a pity that he was burdened by himself, so he finally lost his life.
Just thinking about it, Zhang Fatzi on the side asked: "He passed on the book to you that he has some eyebrows, what did he find?"
Liu Ban
Xian frowned and said: "In the letter, he was vague, but he mentioned that these private mines should be gold mines, and the boss behind this secret mining should be the same person as the boss behind all the shops and businesses in this town, as for who it is, he did not explain. ”
Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi were both taken aback.
Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "Not only did he mine gold privately, but he also opened so many shops and monopolized almost all the businesses here, this behind-the-scenes boss is really powerful, I really don't know how much money he has made in the past ten years?"
Liu Banxian said: "This private mining of gold is not trivial, naturally there is the protection of officials from the DPRK and China, and this person must be in a high position and high power, otherwise it is impossible to mine for more than ten years and be safe." Therefore, most of the gold and silver he earned should have been filial piety to these corrupt officials in the court and sheltered his illegal business. ”
Zhang Fatzi snorted coldly: "These corrupt officials who are corrupt and pervert the law really deserve to be killed!
Liu Banxian shook his head and said, "Originally, as long as this mysterious behind-the-scenes boss was found, these corrupt officials would naturally be able to follow the vine and find out. It's a pity that Lang Zhong is now dead, all the clues have been broken, and the boss behind the scenes has no way to investigate, which is really unwilling!"
Ye Feng shook his head at this time and said, "Although Lang Zhong is dead, this clue may not be interrupted, it is not unthinkable. ”
"Oh?" Liu Banxian was a little surprised, "What is Ye Gongzi's opinion?"
So Ye Feng escorted them back to the Zhu family's mansion, how the poisonous snake was poisoned, how this Lang Zhong gave them clues, and everything they asked from the fat shopkeeper of the pharmacy, all of which told Liu Banxian.
It's just that the poisonous snake is a killer, and Liu Banxian is a person in the criminal department, so it is really inconvenient to say it clearly, so he hid his identity.
After Liu Banxian listened, he pondered for a moment: "I see. It seems that the person who killed the fat shopkeeper and Lang Zhong is very likely to be the man in black that Zhang Gongzi saw in Xiaolou the night before, that is, the mysterious boss behind the scenes. This person is not only very cunning, but also has a very high martial arts, which seems to be really difficult to deal with. ”
Ye Feng said: "Now that we are alone here, the other party is overwhelming, I don't know if there is any way to mobilize some people?"
Liu Banxian said: "It's okay, I have a special order from the Criminal Department here, you can mobilize the surrounding garrisons, and there will be a military camp in the county seat, I can personally go and mobilize the garrison to come and ban the private mines here." ”
Ye Feng nodded: "That's very good, sir, please mobilize people as soon as possible, we will continue to investigate here, and we must try to find out the true face of this mysterious boss behind the scenes." ”
Liu Banxian glanced at them with some worry: "There are only two of you left here, can you do it?"
Zhang Fatzi felt a sense of arrogance rushing straight to his chest, patted his chest and said to Liu Banxian: "Don't worry, our Ye Gongzi has always been blessed with a great life, plus he is the smartest person in the world, if he can't find this boss, I'm afraid that no one in the world can do it." ”
Liu Banxian saw that he was so confident, so he relieved his heart, turned to bow deeply to the corpse in the room, and said: "Brother Venerable's death is all for my sake, please rest assured, I am bound to solve this case, and I will avenge you with a real murder!"
Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi also bowed to Lang Zhong's body, and Zhang Fatzi snorted: "Yes, you must catch that bastard, and cut it with a thousand knives to pay tribute to your spirit in the sky!"
I don't know why when Ye Feng was worshipping, he suddenly remembered Miss Cheng in his mind.
I wonder where she is now, is she okay?
Maybe she didn't come with her this time, but she was also lucky, because maybe when she came, she would be like this one of her junior brothers, who would be affected by herself and encounter danger?
