Chapter 80: The Corpse of a Fisherman in the East China Sea
Ye Feng felt a pain in his head.
What he could still remember was that at the banquet in King Su's mansion last night, those officials, big and small, came to toast him.
He was not good at drinking, nor was he good at drinking, but he couldn't bear to go against everyone's kindness, and after this thrilling day, the nerves that had been tense also needed to be relaxed, so he drank more.
He had never drunk so much wine, and after drinking more than ten glasses in a row, even he was surprised in his heart, it turned out that he had such a large amount of alcohol?
But after that, he never remembered it again.
It wasn't until he was woken up by Tang Da that he found that it was already three poles in the morning, and then he knew that he was drunk on the banquet last night, and he rested in King Su's mansion.
But about last night's events, he couldn't remember anything at all, he just felt that his body was light, and then there was a burst of headaches.
However, he was still urged by Tang Da to roughly wash his face, and hurriedly followed out of King Su's mansion.
Along the way, Tang Da did not elaborate, only said that a corpse was found under the city wall in the south of the city.
Ye Feng was still secretly strange in his heart, he found a corpse and should report it to the official, why did Tang Da have to pull himself along?
When he endured his headache and went under the city wall, he saw a person from a distance who gave him an even bigger headache, Mrs. Tang!
Hadn't Old Lady Tang already been sent away by Tang Da? Why did she appear here now, and still stand beside Seventh Uncle Mo Qizhong with a solemn face?
Ye Feng's heart couldn't help but feel very curious, what kind of person was this death, how could it alarm the two of them, Old Lady Tang and Mo Qizhong, who were all here?
When he got closer and saw the corpse on the ground, Ye Feng was even more surprised.
The corpse had some mutilated limbs, and it had been burned, and its clothes were burned like char, and the whole scene emitted a disgusting smell of burnt flesh and skin.
There was a large hole in the front chest of the corpse, the bones were broken, and the wound seemed to have been burned by something, and the flesh was rolled up, and there was no blood.
This corpse made Ye Feng's heart move, he turned his head and glanced at Tang Da, who was also full of surprise, and they almost remembered the corpse that was pretended to be Lei Fear outside Xi'an City!
At that time, the fire god Lei Wei, one of the double killings of the Great Thunder Gate, in order to attract the master of the Great Thunder Gate Sect Lei Potian, used the strategy of fake death to kill a person who was following him outside Xi'an City, and pretended to be his own appearance.
The corpse that pretended to be Lei Fear at that time was so similar to the one in front of him, whether it was from the death of the corpse or the surrounding land, it was burned to the ground!
But at the beginning, Lei Wei had already died at the hands of Lei Potian in Huashan. So who did this corpse in front of you?
Ye Feng and Tang Da's eyes lit up at the same time, and a person flashed in their minds at the same time, the man in gray!
Of course, Ye Feng knew that the man in gray was Tang Ao's widow, Tang Qiu. Moreover, he also knew that Tang Qiu should also be in Lanzhou City at this moment.
But he didn't
Understand, why did Tang Qiu use such a method to kill this person with such fanfare? This is undoubtedly tantamount to revealing his whereabouts to others, you must know that until now, the man in gray is still the Tang family, the Lei family, and even the government wants to find and arrest the key murderer.
And who is this person who was killed by Tang Qiu?
The face of this corpse was also burned black, but the facial features were still intact, looking at it, Ye Feng always felt that he was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
At this time, Mo Qizhong, who was standing on the side, sighed faintly and said, "This person is a fisherman in the East China Sea. ”
Ye Feng almost couldn't believe his ears.
He looked at the corpse carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked, yes, it was the East China Sea fisherman. It's just that his iconic white flower beard was burned, so Ye Feng didn't think about it for a while.
How could that legendary master with supreme martial arts and who could seriously injure Nanshan Chess die here at the hands of Tang Qiu?
He also suddenly understood why Tang Qiu was not afraid of revealing his whereabouts, because he had no choice, his martial arts were far inferior to those of Donghai fishing, maybe only in this way could he kill him to take revenge.
But would Donghai Yu really die in the hands of Tang Qiu so easily? Ye Feng felt a little incredulous, he remembered the incident when Lei was afraid of cheating to death, could this corpse in front of him also be a conspiracy?
He turned to Mo Qiju and asked, "Are you sure it's him?" Could it be someone else pretending?"
Mo Qizhong smiled, and the old lady Tang beside him snorted coldly and said: "The old body has been checked, Tang Hua, who was fished in the East Sea of the inn last night, was injured and escaped, this corpse still has the scars left by Tang Hua, it is impossible to fake!"
Ye Feng knew that in the inn last night, Donghai Yu and Mrs. Tang had fought each other, and they were injured and fled, presumably it was an extremely thrilling battle!
Ye Feng looked at the corpse on the ground that exuded a pungent scorching smell, and couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart, and blurted out: "What kind of thing can make a master like Donghai Yu be burned alive without the power to fight back?"
Old Lady Tang and Mo Qizhong glanced at each other, bowed their heads with a calm face and said nothing.
I couldn't say why, Ye Feng looked at the reactions of the two of them, and always felt that they should know the answer, but they didn't want to mention it.
Ye Feng looked around, and the officials of the government formed a circle, blocking the small people who were watching the excitement outside, maintaining the scene here.
Maybe Tang Qiu was hiding among these people watching the excitement at the moment, he couldn't help but think so.
But there were too many people watching the bustling crowd, Ye Feng glanced around, and found nothing in the crowd.
At this time, Tang Da said softly on the side: "This corpse will be handed over to the people of the government to carry back to the yamen first, anyway, there is nothing to be found here, it is better for all of us to go back to the inn first, and then think about it in the long run." ”
Old Lady Tang hummed and nodded.
Inn?
Ye Feng suddenly remembered at this time, yesterday
At the banquet at night, Cheng Nianzhen walked with Seventh Uncle Mo Qizhong, and he should have returned to the inn.
But just now Mrs. Tang clearly said that she had a big battle with Donghai Yu in the inn last night, and I don't know what happened to Miss Cheng and them now?
He suddenly felt anxious and anxious, and he couldn't wait to rush back to the inn immediately to see what was going on.
Suddenly, Mo Qizhong behind him came up mysteriously, and whispered to him close to his ear: "Don't worry, Cheng Yatou is fine, you can see her when you return to the inn." It's just ......"
Ye Feng was stunned: "It's just what?"
Mo Qizhong covered his nose with a smile and said, "I'm afraid you have to wash it first, change your clothes and then go to meet people, the smell of wine in your body, aren't you afraid of stinking a beauty?"
Ye Feng was suddenly embarrassed, glared at Mo Qizhong, but was secretly surprised in his heart, this seventh uncle was simply a roundworm in his stomach, and he couldn't hide any kind of thoughts!
The group returned to the inn, Ye Feng really did what Mo Qizhong said, first hid back in his own house, scrubbed it, changed into clean clothes, and then walked out of the door, ready to meet Miss Cheng.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Tang Da standing at the door of his own room, waving to him.
Ye Feng's heart sank, he understood that this must be Mrs. Tang who wanted to see him.
For this old lady Tang, although there have always been legends in the rivers and lakes about how ruthless she is, cold and ruthless, she is the most terrible woman in the world.
However, Ye Feng didn't believe these rumors, judging from his own contacts, at least Mrs. Tang had no ill will towards him, not only Tang Da and they had always been protecting their safety, but even the old lady personally came to Lanzhou City with Nanshan Qi, just to help him deal with the East China Sea fishery.
If it weren't for them, I'm afraid that I would have fallen into the hands of the East China Sea fishermen a long time ago, and the fate at this time is very unpredictable.
But I don't know why, every time I see Mrs. Tang, Ye Feng will see the murderous intent that flashed in her eyes when she looked at herself in the alley before.
Every time he thought of this, he would shudder, and although he didn't understand the reason, he instinctively wanted to stay away.
But now that Tang Da was summoning, Ye Feng could only follow him to see Old Lady Tang in despair.
Walking into the room, Mo Qiju also sat there, looking at his freshly changed clothes with a teasing smile on his face.
Ye Feng felt a little embarrassed, and he was at a loss for a while.
Old Madam Tang ignored this, pointed to the chair next to her, motioned for Ye Feng to sit down, and said with a calm face: "Didn't you ask what killed the East China Sea Fisherman just now? ”
Ye Feng sat down in an orderly manner, waiting for Mrs. Tang to continue with curiosity.
Old Mrs. Tang paused, seemed to be sorting out her thoughts, and said after a while: "You already know that back then, the Tang Gate in Shuzhong and the Thunderbolt Hall in Jiangnan, each with their own elites, secretly researched a new weapon in the secret cave of Huashan, named Tang Lei. ”
Ye Feng nodded.
The old lady continued, "But you
I don't know yet, in fact, all this research originated from a sketch given to us by the imperial court at that time. It was precisely because of this sketch that the Tang Men and the Lei family decided to put aside the grievances of the generations and work together to develop Tang Lei. ”
In fact, what Mrs. Tang said now, as early as when she was in Songshan, Ye Feng had already heard Tang Qiu talk about it, and it was even more detailed than what the old lady said at this time.
So he was sitting there now, but there was no surprise on his face, but it made Old Lady Tang and Mo Qizhong feel strange.
They glanced at each other, and Old Lady Tang asked, "Ye Gongzi doesn't seem to be surprised by what the old man said, did you already know this before?"
Ye Feng's heart was shocked, and he suddenly realized his gaffe, but he couldn't tell Mrs. Tang about the matter between him and Tang Qiu, so he hurriedly said nonsense: "These things were told to the younger generation by Fan Shanggu, the head of the Huashan faction, when he was in Huashan. ”
Old Lady Tang stared at him with doubts, and Tang Da, who was standing behind him, also bowed his head and said nothing, in fact, they all knew that Ye Feng's words were just nonsense.
When the Tang Sect and the Perak Hall cooperated in the Huashan Secret Cave, the head of Huashan was still Suo Wusuo, and Fan Shanggu was just his disciple, how could he know such a secret inside story as the inside story of the cooperation?
However, it seemed that Ye Feng had something unspeakable, and he didn't want to explain it, so it was difficult for them to ask any more.
Old Lady Tang continued: "This sketch is the key to the development of Tang Lei, but after the Huashan Secret Cave was slaughtered by the Ten Palaces of Yama, this sketch and Tang Ao's years of research and hard work are all gone. ”
"The old body originally thought that it must have been snatched by that Xuanyuan Gongzi, but today when he saw the body of the East China Sea fisherman, the old body can conclude that the thing that killed him must be Tang Lei!"
Ye Feng knew in his heart that he naturally had no words, but Tang Da asked with some hesitation: "If it was Xuanyuan Gongzi who snatched the sketch back then, then who could still create Tang Lei?
Mrs. Tang snorted and said, "Don't forget, there was still a person's body that was not found. ”
Tang Da Huoran raised his head and said, "You mean, Lei Feng, the daughter of Lei Fear?"
Old Lady Tang nodded: "That's right." The old man guessed that the person who took away the sketches and research materials should be Lei Feng. With her and her father's Lei Fear's talents, plus the information Tang Ao left back then, they must have successfully developed Tang Lei!"
And the gray-clothed man who pretended to be Tang Ao that appeared later is very likely to be related to Lei Feng, and may even be the descendant of her and Tang Ao. He used Tang Lei to kill Donghai Yu, it should be to avenge Tang Ao, because Tang Ao died at the hands of the Ten Palaces Yama back then. ”
Tang Da still didn't understand: "If the gray-clothed man is really the descendant of Tang Ao and Lei Feng as grandma said, it still makes sense for him to slaughter the subordinates of the Great Thunder Gate at the beginning, after all, Lei Potian is also one of the Ten Hall Yamas." But why did he kill my Tang Sect disciple?"
Old Lady Tang rolled her eyes and said coldly: "
Besides, if this gray-clothed man is really the child of Tang Ao and Lei Feng, he has been incognito for 20 years, and the road to growth must be extremely difficult, and the Tang Sect has never had the slightest kindness to him, so it is reasonable to be angry and hate the Tang Sect. ”
Tang Da nodded and said no more.
But Ye Feng was surprised at this time, and looked at Mrs. Tang with great admiration.
It's really amazing! Just seeing the corpse of Donghai Yu, just based on speculation, what she said was exactly the same as what Tang Qiu told Ye Feng at the beginning!
Old Madam Tang ignored Ye Feng's surprised expression, and said to him and Tang Da: "If the old man's guess is correct, this gray-clothed man must be in Lanzhou City at this moment. Since his purpose is to take revenge, and he is angry with my Tang Sect, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not wait for an opportunity to attack us. ”
"With a weapon like Tang Lei in his hand, even if your martial arts are as high as the East China Sea fishery, it will be difficult to compete with it. Therefore, the old body would like to remind you that you must be vigilant everywhere in the future, and you must no longer act privately and give others an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”
Ye Feng and Tang Da both bowed their heads and responded, "Yes!"
At this time, Mo Qizhong, who had been sitting on the side silently, suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Someone is coming at the door!"
Everyone was stunned, pricked up their ears and listened carefully, but there was no footsteps of people entering and leaving the door of the inn.
Ye Feng and Tang Da glanced at each other, unless the person who came was a person with extremely high skills, they would definitely not be unaware.
Could it be that the man in gray is coming?
Strangely, a voice sounded in the lobby of the inn: "Fourth, fourth, come out, they are looking for that old guy to close the fourth!"
This voice Ye Feng couldn't be more familiar, it is the righteous brother Zhang Idiot Zhang Fat!
