Chapter 93: Gold in the Dark Grid

(PS: Thank you for the starting point of the 1111 reward in the future, thank you for your support!)

Seeing that Hong Chong told the truth so confidently, and knew that he had excluded himself from the murderer suspect, Yan Long further asked, "Since you and Xiao Kui are old friends, why do you have to pass the judgment to find this place?"

Hong Zhong sighed: "Xiao Kui has too many dens, and I haven't been in touch with him for many years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Only by judging the head can we know where he is most accurately!"

Yan Long said: "According to the judge, Xiao Kui issued him a lottery every three months. In recent months, not many people have come to Xiao Kui for consultation, except for us, there is only one person from last month. ”

"Who?" asked Hongzhong.

"I don't know. When we saw the judges, they were all masked. The judge also did not know the identity of the other party. Yan Long said.

Hong Zhong analyzed: "Xiao Kui has very few friends on this side, and the person who can let him down his guard and go to the ice cellar to get medicine may be a patient who has been consulted many times." A rough inference based on the extent of his body's decomposition suggests that the person who came to him last month was most likely his killer. ”

Yan Long said: "What clues did you find in Xiao Kui's ice cellar?"

Hong Zhong said: "The medicines are almost gone, including Xiao Kui's life-like Nine Turns Yang Dan. ”

"Nine Turns to Yang Pill?" Yan Long asked, "What kind of pill is this, what is it for?"

Hong Zhong said: "It is used to treat extremely serious internal injuries and connect broken meridians, which has a miraculous effect." Xiao Kui worked hard, and only refined three in his life. Now it's all gone. ”

Yan Long let out a thoughtful "oh", then turned his gaze to Xiao Kui's house and asked, "What's in the house?"

Seeing this, Zhang Shixun answered: "Before I could find it, you guys came." ”

Yan Long said to Hong Chong: "Senior Hong, since you are familiar with this place, I think if you search it, you should be able to find more valuable things." ”

Before Hong Chong could answer, Zhang Shixun had already said to Hong Chong: "Senior brother, these two people may be the murderers who killed Wang Ping'an, we can't trust them." ”

Yan Long listened to this and thought, "This junior brother of Hongzhong is also straightforward. ”

Hong Zhong glanced at Zhang Shixun and said, "The two of them can kill us together, if you want to deal with Ping'an, why do you need to spend so much trouble and poison us with gold thread ash?"

Zhang Shixun was silent.

Hong Zhong said to Yan Long: "Come with me." Then he walked towards Xiao Kui's house.

Yan Long, Zhang Shixun, and Dian Wei followed.

The furnishings in the house are simple and have a quaint feel.

There are two cups of tea on the coffee table and a delicate wooden snack box, and the tea has dried up over time, but it can be distinguished from the tea leaves that it is a dragon well before the rain. The dim sum placed in the wooden box decorated with pine plum and bamboo carvings, although penicillium has been emitted, it can also be seen that these dim sum are delicate in shape and the materials are exquisite.

The guests who can entertain such good tea and snacks should be considered good friends.

Hong Zhong looked carefully inside the room, and there was nothing of value, so he walked to a corner and lifted a floor tile. A handle peeked out from under the floor tiles, and he twisted it, only to hear a "click", and a bookcase placed against the west wall in the room slowly moved away.

Behind the bookcase, there is a dark compartment.

Hong Zhong said: "When I helped Xiao Kui build this house, I made such a secret grid. He's cautious, and there's always something he wants to put away. ”

Hong Zhong opened the door of the hidden compartment, and saw that in addition to the silver ticket, it was a plate-shaped gold nugget.

The upper and lower ends of these plate-shaped gold nuggets are stamped with diamond-shaped Wusan Tong imprints, and the weight of the gold nuggets is 10 taels. On the surface, there is also the date of the ink script (Tensho 16), the name of the person responsible for casting (Goto) and the monogram.

"Tensho 16? Isn't this the name of the year when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was in charge of Fuso Province? These gold nuggets are the currency of Toei, and they are mostly used to reward dignitaries, but they appear here. Xiao Kui may have seen some powerful people in Dongying!" Yan Long said to Hong Chong after seeing the gold nuggets.

"No, he hates the Japanese Kou the most in his life, and it is absolutely impossible to help the Dongying people see a doctor. Hong Zhong said categorically.

When Yan Long heard this, his heart moved, and he said: "These Dongying's Tianzheng Ling Daju gold nuggets are as many as nine yuan, and the system is exactly the same, it seems that it should be the consultation fee paid by the same person." These gold nuggets are generally rarely used in the Ming Dynasty, and are mostly used for collections. It can be seen that the person who pays the consultation fee must be rich and rich, and often travels between Dongying and Daming. ”

Hong Zhong listened, pointed to the box of dim sum on the coffee table with his hand and said: "That box of dim sum is a famous pastry in Dongying, called Sakura Xue Mei Niang." I can't see it in the local area, so I guess it was brought by the person who asked for the consultation that day. ”

Yan Long suddenly asked, "Senior Hong, the Sanyi Gang has suddenly had a lot of Dongying warriors recently, do you know?"

Hong Chong's expression froze, and he asked coldly, "What do you mean by this?"

Yan Long said lightly: "Two days ago, our Changkong Gang clashed with your Sanyi Gang, and many Fusang warriors with very sharp swords appeared in your camp. ”

Hong Zhong stared at Yan Long and said, "Is this true?"

Yan Long sighed and said, "It seems that you have really been in hiding for too long, senior. Whether this matter is true or not, you can go back and find out for yourself. I have a corollary here, it is related to your Sanyi Gang, as well as Wang Ping'an and Xiao Kui, I don't know if you are interested in hearing it?"

"Say!" said Hong Chong.

"Since Wang Ping'an took over, the Sanyi Gang has formed a team with the Haisha Gang to fight against our Changkong Gang. Although there is no conflict on the surface, there are many ruthless hands in secret. The Sea Sand Gang is Chen Xitian's descendant, and this is a well-known thing. Yan Long said.

"So what?"

"The Sanyi Gang has been safe and sound for a long time, and has made a lot of money by collecting tolls from past business trips, and the Haisha Gang is willing to send such a big piece of fat to the Sanyi Gang's mouth. It can be seen that Chen Xitian has regarded the Sanyi Gang as a force under his name. Yan Long said.

When Hong Chong heard this, he couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "Nonsense. Chen Xitian, how can he take our Sanyi Gang as his own? ”

Yan Long calmly looked at the angry Hong Chong and said, "What is the current situation of the Sanyi Gang, although Senior Hong is not very clear, he must have heard a little about it. Whether what I said is true or not, we will find out when we check. Chen Xitian's power is not as good as before because of the internal strife with Zhankong, and he urgently needs to find a support point to develop his power, so the Sanyi Gang is the best choice. There are many people, a large territory, a thick family background, and after years of development, his power has penetrated into it, as long as it is slightly consolidated, it is a more powerful and better tool than the Sea Sand Gang. ”

Hong Chong's face turned pale, Yan Long glanced at him, and continued: "Chen Xitian wants to expand his power, and the quickest way is to regain control of Haifeng Wharf. But Wang Ping'an is still the leader of the gang after all, according to his character, as long as it is not at the critical juncture, he is not willing to fight with our Changkong Gang. Therefore, the best way to incite the anger of the Sanyi Gang against our Changkong Gang is to kill Wang Ping'an and frame me!"

Hong Zhong sneered: "Yan Long, are you sowing discord now? Do you think that these baseless speculations of yours can disperse the hearts of our Sanyi Gang?"

Yan Long smiled and said, "To tell the truth, whether the Sanyi Gang is of one heart and one mind, or centrifugal and detached, for me, it doesn't matter at all. ”

"Why?" Hong Zhong couldn't help but ask.

Yan Long's face was solemn, and he said coldly: "What I, Yan Long, is in charge of is just a small Shitan Town rudder, and I still have the Yongping Mansion Shanhai Hall above me, and there is also the Changkong Gang Headquarters above the Shanhai Hall, you Sanyi Gang is only two thousand people, why be afraid!"

When Hong Zhong heard this, his eyes were about to split, and his true qi instantly filled his whole body, his robes and clothes bulged like sails, and his palms were even more condensed with white qi.

His iron palm is ready to go!
