Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi came to the front of Xiaolou.

The outside of the small building looks dilapidated, but the doors and windows are closed, only a faint glimmer of light from the gap in the window on the second floor, revealing an indescribable sense of mystery.

seemed to feel the arrival of the two, and when they walked to the door of the small building, the lights on the upper floor suddenly went out.

Looking at the suddenly dark window, Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but shudder, it seemed that the other party already knew about their arrival.

Zhang Fatzi's voice trembled a little: "This, is there really a ghost in this?"

Ye Feng took a long breath and said, "Whether it's a human or a ghost, we have to go in and have a look." ”

After speaking, he reached out and pushed the two closed wooden doors of the small building.

The wooden door opened in response, and the inside of the door was pitch black, and the five fingers could not be seen.

Ye Feng stepped in and immediately took out a fire fold from his arms and lit it.

The firelight illuminated the eyes, but the situation in front of them made Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi all gasp.

The furnishings of the room were simple, with a square table in the center, surrounded by a few chairs, and nothing else.

But at this moment, on this square table, there are five people lying on their stomachs.

No, they are already dead by now, five corpses, I should say!

In addition to the five bodies, there was also an overturned flask on the table, and several crooked wine glasses, which appeared to be drinking there before they died.

Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi approached and looked at the corpses carefully, Zhang Fatzi pointed at one of them with a shocked face, and exclaimed, "Yes, it's him!"

Ye Feng looked at the corpse he was pointing at, there was a huge sarcoma under his left cheek, this person they knew, it turned out to be the shopkeeper of the inn where they lived!

The corpse next to him looked unusually thin, with a goatee on his pointed chin, Ye Feng immediately thought of the image of the shopkeeper described to them by Mother Wu in the Chunhua Building in the afternoon, it seemed that it was him.

The other three corpses, tall, short, fat and thin, were different, although they were very raw, and they didn't know each other, but Ye Feng sighed lightly and said, "It seems that a few of them are the shopkeepers of the various shops in this town." ”

Zhang Fatzi also agreed, shook his head and said: "It is said that several of their shopkeepers have disappeared since the afternoon, and I didn't expect that they all died here." ”

Ye Feng leaned over and carefully examined the corpse's death, each of them was foaming at the mouth, and black blood was flowing from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, which had dried up at the moment, and it looked really shocking.

Ye Feng sighed: "They all died of poison, it seems that they didn't know that the cup of wine they drank turned out to be their amulet." ”

Zhang Fatzi changed color and said, "Who killed them?"

Ye Feng glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "Can't you think of it?"

Zhang Fatzi is not stupid, how could he not think of it?

To be able to gather all these shopkeepers together, and to make them drink poisoned wine unsuspectingly, of course, is the person they all know, who else could this person be besides him?

The murderer must be the mysterious boss behind these shops!

He suddenly killed these shopkeepers who had been loyal to him for many years, obviously in order to kill them and cut off all the clues, it seemed that Ye Feng and their investigation had already known to him.

Counting up, from the fat shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and that Langzhong, to the current five corpses, today in one day, he has killed seven lives in a row, and he is ruthless, cold-blooded and ruthless!

Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred and said, "This villain! Where is he hiding?"

Ye Feng is leisurely

He said, "What do you say?"

He turned his head and looked at the staircase leading to the upper floor on the side of the room, only in the faint light of the fire fold, the upper end of the staircase was pitch black, as if leading to a dark demon realm, which made people feel cold all over their bodies.

Holding aloft the fire fold, Ye Feng took the lead in stepping on the upward stairs.

He hadn't taken a few steps when he suddenly stepped down, and he felt the plank under his feet suddenly sink faintly.

Shuzhong Tang Men is good at the art of organs, he has been with Tang Da for a long time, and he knows a little bit about it.

This foot stepped down, and he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, this was obviously touching some kind of mechanism, presumably it was the defensive measures in this small building, it must be an extremely powerful design.

Just when he was slightly stunned, the huge body of Zhang Fatzi who was following him suddenly jumped into the air, grabbed the clothes on his back, and swept him upward.

Ye Feng could only hear the sound of the wind in his ears, and he could feel that countless hidden weapon arrows suddenly shot out from both sides of the stairs, flying past their bodies and nailing to the wooden wall opposite, making a series of snatching sounds.

It wasn't until he jumped up the stairs and stepped on the floor on the second floor that Zhang Fatzi put Ye Feng down, let out a long breath and said, "It's so dangerous!"

Ye Feng also secretly exclaimed in his heart, he could feel that the clothes on his body had been torn by the hidden weapon, and his forehead was cold and full of cold sweat.

If it weren't for Zhang Fatzi's one of the best light skills in the world, I am afraid that the result tonight would be unimaginable.

After such a toss, the fire fold in his hand has been extinguished.

Ye Feng lit the fire again, held it and turned around, but everything on the second floor in front of him made the two of them stunned.

This small building looks dilapidated from the outside, obviously abandoned for a long time, and the furnishings on the first floor are very simple, but when you go up to the second floor, the layout here is eye-catching.

In the middle of the room, against the wall, there is a soft couch, covered with thick fur, which looks very warm and comfortable at first glance.

The room is surrounded by four exquisite screens, on which are painted with all kinds of bewitching beauties, exquisite brushwork, and lifelike figures, which are worth a lot at a glance.

The tables and chairs in the room are very exquisite, the walls on all sides are full of precious calligraphy and paintings, the beams and pillars are all carved beams and paintings, and they are also inlaid with gold, silver, pearls and jade, which is really brilliant, Ye Feng thought to himself, I am afraid that there is no such exquisite and luxurious place in the palace.

In such a remote town, on top of a deserted small building, there was such a place, which really made Ye Feng and the two of them feel as if they were in a dream, and there was an unreal feeling in a trance.

After a long time, Zhang Fatzi said with some stammering: "This, what kind of place is this? I'm afraid that there is no such place in the palace, it's like a fairyland." ”

Ye Feng snorted: "How can the fairyland be so vulgar, full of gold and silver? It seems that this must be the den of the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss, but I didn't expect him to be so luxurious." ”

The two of them were sighing with emotion, when suddenly a shrill sneer came from their ears, which made them tremble.

Only then did they remember that before they entered this small building just now, they saw that the lights on the second floor had gone out, and it was obvious that there were other people hiding here.

Hurriedly looked back, and from behind a screen, a person dressed in black and masked in a black scarf slowly walked out.

The black-clothed man's eyes were shining, staring at Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi, the two uninvited guests, and said coldly: "You guessed right, this is my residence, and now, it is also the burial place of the two of you." ”

Ye Feng stared at the man in black, his voice was very unfamiliar, but it was very strange, Ye Feng felt that what he said had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, could it be that he knew this person?

Zhang Fatzi snorted at this time and asked, "You are."

The boss behind the shop here, the people downstairs, and the Lang Zhong, you killed them all?"

The man in black bowed slightly, and said: "Yes, these shopkeepers were all business failures, desperate people, and almost looking for death, I gave them a chance, came here to start over, and gave them shops and capital, their comfortable life in the past ten years, everything, all of them were given to them by me, and now, it is just to take it back." ”

"As for that Lang Zhong, who has been here for more than ten years, I have long felt strange, with his medical skills, he should not have succumbed to such a small place and lived such a poor life, until recently I finally found out that he was actually an agent placed here by the imperial court, the purpose of which was to investigate me. And he actually pointed you out clues to find out my identity, how can I allow him?"

Speaking of this, he let out a strange laugh: "Now, as long as the two of you die again, all the insiders will be dead, all the clues will be broken, and no one will be able to find out about me again." ”

Ye Feng frowned: "Aren't you afraid that the government will seize your private mines?"

The man in black smiled proudly and said, "It doesn't matter, I haven't touched that Lang Zhong all these years, I just don't want to alarm the government and force them to directly seize those gold mines." As long as the spies are still there, they still hope to find out my identity and find out the dignitaries behind me, and they will not easily startle the snake and act rashly. ”

"It's different now, in the past 20 years, several gold mines in this vicinity have already been mined almost, and the rest is not of much value, and I have earned enough, as long as I erase all traces here, I can go to a new place with my money, and go to live a fairy-like life, as for these mines, I will leave them to the government, which is counted as a little thank you for cooperating with me over the years." ”

Ye Feng snorted: "Behind you, there is really an important person from the court!"

The man in black laughed and said: "This is natural, but if you want to do great things and make a lot of money, how can one person be able to swallow it alone? Without the blessing of these important people in the DPRK and China, how can I mine here unharmed for 20 years? If they can't get a piece of the pie every year and reap great benefits, who will provide me with shelter?"

Zhang Fatzi shook his head and said: "In the past 20 years, from Emperor Taizu to today, there have been three dynasties, once the son of heaven and one courtier, the situation in the court has changed, and so many courtiers have changed, but you can stand here all the time, it is also a miracle." ”

The eyes of the man in black overflowed with pride: "That's right, even though the situation has changed, the country has changed hands, and the court has been replaced like a marquee, but no matter who comes to power, as long as it is a human being, it will have weaknesses, and greed is a common weakness of people." ”

"Some people are greedy for money, some people are greedy for power, some people are greedy for fame, some people are greedy for profit, all kinds of things, but as long as they are greedy, they can be used, they can provide shelter for me, whether it is from their own heart or not, it depends only on whether the person who uses them is smart enough. ”

Ye Feng shook his head, listening to the meaning of this, it seemed that not all the officials who provided shelter here were bought by him, and some were just used by him without knowing it.

He asked lightly: "Who are these important people in the DPRK and China?"

The man in black smiled mockingly, "Are you interrogating me, why should I tell you their names?"

Zhang Fatzi said angrily: "Now that you have been found by us, you are not caught yet, do you still think you can escape?"

The man in black smiled: "Why should I run away? Do you think that with one of your apprentices of the magic knife and an apprentice of the ghost shadow, you can control me?"

He smiled, but a cold murderous aura shot out of his eyes!
