Chapter 282: Intelligence from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion
A group of six people met again, compared to the time at noon, this time several people gained a lot.
Because Yi Xifeng encountered an attack, he briefly talked about what he encountered in the Sihai Pavilion in the afternoon. Even with the siege in the alley after that, he also briefly talked about it.
"According to what you said, this relic is most likely Captain Fan's?" Xia Mingfei asked curiously.
The white boy took out the contents of the baggage, except for a gold ingot, a few silver tickets of small denomination, and a few caravan purchase documents, there was nothing of value.
Lu Huahua picked up a slip and leaned over to the candle flame on the table. Soon the paper was ignited, and a faint scent of sandalwood emanated from the ashes of the paper.
"That's right, this thing belongs to Fan Yang. The short-haired girl said firmly.
It turned out that all the guards in the iron clothes and the papers they carried with them were all made of Yinren Village. Although it does not have the function of hiding the ink as Yi Xifeng imagined, it has a special aroma after burning, which is the best proof of this.
"I've heard of this Shahe Gang, it's a Jianghu gang that has emerged in Fallen Leaf City in recent years, and it has just reached the level of a third-rate sect, and it is a puppet sect supported by Ji Shenfu. Zhang Yanyan explained.
"Puppet sect?" Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian glanced at each other, among the people present, the two of them have been staying in the village since they were children, and they don't know much about the things on the rivers and lakes outside, so it is inevitable that they will lack understanding of some common sense of the rivers and lakes.
Zhao Long saw the doubts of the two and explained for the heroic young man:
"The so-called puppet sect is a sect established by the imperial court forces as the mastermind behind the scenes. This kind of sect generally has no background, and it is also for the development and growth of the sect to be a lackey of the imperial court. This form of sect composition is extremely common in Yunxi County and Moshang County in Luoyun Kingdom. ”
Li Xintian had already taken off his mask at this time, and when he heard Zhao Long's explanation, he thought for a moment and wondered:
"If Ji Shenfu is the mastermind behind the Shahe Gang, then why did the Shahe Gang still take pictures of this relic?
"It cannot be ruled out that this relic was not under Ji Shenfu's control in the first place. Xia Mingfei interjected.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts sank.
After all, this time to investigate the relevant information of Fan Yang's death, they have already found a lot of information from the side, and only Ji Shenfu's forces are the most suspicious in Fallen Leaf City. But if it was really like what the round-faced young man said, this thing was not done by Ji Shenfu, then the whole thing would become even more troublesome.
Yi Xifeng nodded, tapped the table with his knuckles, and added:
"Of course, there is another possibility. That's what this thing originally belonged to the Shahe Gang, they released it themselves, and they shot it themselves. ”
Zhao Long immediately nodded in response, "In this case, it also explains why they were so arrogant when they bid with us in the first place! Because no matter how much they bid, what they lost was only the transaction fee between the auctioneer and the Four Seas Pavilion." ”
The so-called transaction fee is a common way to distribute premium profits in auction houses. Generally, if the auction price is higher than the reserve price, 5% of the excess will be awarded to the auction venue.
This is also why, Sihai Pavilion will let Jianbao Yashi interact on the stage and raise the price at one time. The higher the final transaction price, the higher the margin of the transaction inside.
The six of them looked at each other, and they all thought that this guess should be more logical.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yanyan said: "The news brought by the wind is very important, and we will have to verify it in many ways during the next period." And another important piece of news was that I bought it from Tianji Pavilion. ”
Saying that, the heroic young man glanced at everyone, stopped selling Guanzi, and said in a deep voice: "Ji Rentu left Fallen Leaf City this time, but he went to Chunfeng Town to suppress the rebellion!"
As soon as these words came out, the other five people were shocked.
"What?
However, Zhang Yanyan shook his head and said uncertainly: "The source of this news is not reliable, although the conclusion is shocking, but the rumors revealed in it are intriguing. ”
Xia Mingfei nodded on the side and said, "Chunfeng Town is located in the north of Yinren Village, adjacent to Fallen Leaf City. If they really rebel. It is impossible for Yinren's intelligence system not to know any rumors. ”
"Secondly, Chunfeng Town and Tianhe Town are two important towns located in the east and west of Fallen Leaf City, and Ji Shenfu has had a profound influence on them for so many years, how can it be so easy to cause a rebellion? ”
The round-faced youth explained.
"That's right, the rebellion, I think, is nothing. But one thing I know for sure. The reason why Ji Rentu was not in Fallen Leaf City was because he was in Chunfeng Town at this time. Zhang Yanyan said slowly.
......
The group revisited the information they had received for the day, but they could not find any clue.
First, for some reason, Ji Rentu's housekeeper bought a large number of various martial arts cheats, even whether they were true or not.
Second, the city booth recognized that Yinren Village had changed from a "village" to a "town".
Third, Fan Yang's relics appeared in the auction hall and attracted the Shahe Gang to participate. 52 Literature
Fourth, Tianji Pavilion got the news that Ji Rentu was in Chunfeng Town at this time.
These four pieces of information don't seem to be very related, but everyone feels that there seems to be some kind of connection between them.
.................. Dividing line ..................
In the western district of Deciduous City, in a large hidden mansion.
The house occupies a huge area, and there are no neighborhoods on the other three sides of the house, except for the narrow alley in front of the door.
Behind the house is a huge rockery, go south over the rockery, and arrive at the garrison camp of "Six Gates" in less than ten miles.
With this group of iron guards stationed nearby, the security in this area can be called second to none in the entire Fallen Leaf City!
In a certain courtyard of this house, a young man was lying in a rocking chair under the grape trellis, and the grape season was past the ripening season, but there was something special about this courtyard, and the temperature here was noticeably warmer than outside. So at this time, the grape trellis is still full of bunches of grapes.
The young man ate the grapes in his hand as he looked at the woman kneeling on the ground in front of him, and there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
"You say, this person is extremely fast, and his strength is already comparable to that of a chivalrous man?" asked the young man as he spat out a grape seed.
The bewitching woman who was kneeling on the ground, when she heard the other party's question, she didn't dare to raise her head, tried to calm her voice, and said in a deep voice: "I really don't know if it can be comparable to the subordinates of the martial artists of the Chivalrous Realm. But Kong Yuan and Sun Xian didn't survive a round in his hands!"
This woman is obviously the red mole who killed Yi Xifeng in the courtyard of the alley before, and the young man in front of her is the leader of the Shahe Gang.
The young man's surname is Yin, and no one remembers what his name is, or no one dares to mention it, just because his name is Xiao Kai. The young man didn't like this name, so he gave himself a name, called Yin Thirteen.
Even in the underworld rivers and lakes of Fallen Leaf City, people hate and fear this name, but they have to call it "Thirteen Masters"!
Yin Shisan glanced at the woman with some contempt, and said indifferently: "Those two rammers waste a lot of energy on you as a woman, and they can't block a blow from others, so it's not unusual!"
The red mole's face was a little pale, but she didn't dare to refute it, not only because what the other party said was the truth, but more importantly, because she knew the other party's character.
The Thirteenth Master is one of the most well-informed people in the entire Fallen Leaf City, don't try to quibble in front of him. Otherwise, there will be a terrible price.
"A teenager is strong? interesting...... I just don't know if it's as interesting as the caravan guard before!" Yin Shisan smiled and took another grape and stuffed it into his mouth. vaguely commanded:
"Send a team of sandmen to find out what he is doing. Hmph, in my Sand River Gang's territory, they also injured my people, like that?"
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately bowed her head and said, "My subordinates obey!"
The red mole quickly got up and exited the courtyard. It's just that at this time, the young man said indifferently: "Red Mole Helmsman, don't leave yet." ”
The plump woman froze there. His face changed from pale before, to miserable white, and then instantly changed to a smiling face.
There was a faint hint of spring in that demeanor.
The woman understood that when the helper called her "Lord of the Red Mole," she was needed. The reason is that she understands that the Thirteenth Master doesn't really like her, but just uses her as a tool to vent.
With the red mole's understanding of the youth, the failure of this siege made the young man's mood worse. Tonight's torment is more unbearable than ever.
However, the woman still changed into her amorous demeanor, and swayed step by step to the young man lying in the rocking chair, but in the depths of her eyes, that little bit of sparkle was gradually disappearing.
......
Jianghu Tavern is a relatively lively tavern in Fallen Leaf City, and there are usually many people who mix the rivers and lakes to stay here. However, this Boss Zhang's strange personality has made some friends and established a group of mortal enemies.
Yi Xifeng looked at the shopkeeper in front of him, pondered for a long time, and asked out loud: "Shopkeeper, can you sell me that Divine Cultivation Fruit?"
The white young man said straight to the point.
"Can't!" said the shopkeeper surnamed Zhang, who didn't raise his head, looked at the ledger in front of him.
Yi Xifeng didn't expect the other party to refuse directly, and he didn't even make a counteroffer, or even ask for a price.
"I said that the shopkeeper does business on the rivers and lakes. You sit on the ground and make a bid, and I will bargain on the spot. You can start the price!, you can get one!" the boy asked, still not giving up.
"If you don't sell, you don't sell, why is there so much nonsense?"
“...... Then you'll have to give me a reason!" Yi Xifeng shouted.
The shopkeeper only looked up at the young man at this time, stretched out his finger and pointed to the top of his head, and said helplessly: "Look at this plaque, I am a tavern, which only sells wine, not a pharmacy!"
However, just as his words fell, I saw Yi Xifeng suddenly lean forward, raise a hand, and grab this shopkeeper!
