Chapter 556: Den of Thieves


The state mansion is not far away, and Zhanzhao, Bai Yutang and others arrived in a hurry.

Don't look at the city is not very big, but there are a lot of people, quite prosperous Yan Boss's business is really not small, not far away you can see a shop with the word "Yan" signboard, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, are his family's business Hikofu is very large, but it is not in the city, but on a hill in the suburbs.

Zhan Zhao felt very strange, "Don't rich people like to buy big houses in the city these days, the courtyard or something was built in the mountains, and the old people are very wealthy, and they are not afraid of thieves if they live in such a remote area."

Everyone came to a small road not far from the Yan family's mansion, and looked up at the large manor on the hillside in front of them.

Bai Yutang looked at it for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "It's a coincidence that the construction method of the Yan family's mansion seems to be the same as the construction method of the Jin family's old mansion." ” "It does look very similar," Zhanzhao also felt close.

"This kind of house is called a city-state house."

At this time, Wu Yiyi spoke.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at him.

"The slope of the old Jin family's mansion was a bit bottomed before, but I don't think this Yan family's mansion is more obvious."

Wu Yiwu said, "This is not the construction method of ordinary houses, but the construction method of the city-state, the mountains under the house should be hollowed out, convenient for hiding things, there is no wall around these four sides, if the wall is enclosed, it will become a small city-state, the outside cannot be attacked, the storage inside can be enough to live for several years, and it is also convenient to hide If the mountain is hollowed out, it is full of organs, and how many people who go in may not be able to catch the family." ” Long Qiaoguang pouted, "Isn't this a method of creating a copycat thief's nest?"

"It can also be said that it is rare in these years, and it was very common in the past when there was a shortage of wars."

Wu Yiwu said, "This house is indeed the same as the old mansion of the Jin family. ” "The mountain behind the old house of the Jin family is hollowed out and a golden Buddha is hidden, guess what is hidden under this mountain" Zhanzhao asked Feng Chuanfeng about the three-headed golden tuo.

Feng Chuanfeng frowned, there was no sect or person related to this on the rivers and lakes, he just knew some folk legends.

"The house is in front, how can I check" Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao.

"Easy to do."

Without waiting for Zhanzhao to speak, Long Qiaoguang said, "Go in and check." ” "Go in" Zhanzhao and the others all looked at him.

Long Qiaoguang smiled, "Let's just say that I went to buy military rations, and asked him for a million catties of rice, such a big deal, Yan Lao naturally wants to come out in person." ” "Buying rice is indeed a good excuse," Zhanzhao nodded.

"It's not all excuses, either."

Long Qiao Guangdao, "Originally, it was also the time to purchase military rations every year, this year there was more rain, and there was not much grain in the north, so it was natural to come to the south to buy it, and this year there was also a large naval army village in the south." ” Zhan Zhao and the others thought about it, and it was indeed the best excuse.

So, everyone went up the mountain in their own right.

Along the way, Zhanzhao noticed that Wu Yiwu was looking at the mansion all the way, and seemed to be thoughtful.

Zhan Zhao asked him, "Uncle Xiaoxiao, what do you think is wrong?"

Wu Yiwu looked at Zhanzhao and said, "Well, didn't Master Pang say before that there are liars in Jiangnan?"

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"I also remember that there was indeed such a group of people who used this method to make money."

Wu Yijiao said, "That gang is called Fan Ju, and the business on the surface is to open inns in various places, which can also be said to be black shops, but they are not black people in this store."

Fanju is their base camp, where all kinds of liars, thieves, and murderers live, in short, they are very cunning, and the methods used are also strange, and they come to all kinds of tricks, and they have amassed a lot of wealth. ” "How many years ago was that," Zhanzhao wondered.

"Well, it's been a lot of years, let alone sixty years."

Wu Yiyi said.

Zhan Zhao was curious, "How could they suddenly think that they have anything to do with Boss Yan?"

"If you want to talk about relationships, Fan Ju's boss is surnamed Yan."

Wu Yiwu said, "Do you think it's a coincidence?"

"One surname Yan, one surname Yan."

Zhanzhao nodded, "It's indeed a bit of a coincidence, especially if everything is connected."

Everyone walked to the door of the Yan family's mansion and knocked on the door.

After a while, an old man who looked like a housekeeper came out and opened the door, glanced out, a little puzzled, "How many, who are you looking for?"

"Find your master."

Zhan Zhao Road.

"Well, what are you doing?"

asked the butler.

"We are in the army and want to buy military rations."

Zhan Zhao Road.

"Oh, it's the military master."

The housekeeper asked, "What do you call it, I'll report to the master." ” Zhan Zhao pointed at Long Qiaoguang, "Right General Long Qiaoguang." ” The butler gasped, "Alas, I'll go now, wait a minute," and ran away.

Everyone is talking and you are quite famous.

Long Qiao looked at the sky, Lao Tzu is a general, a first-class official Zhan Zhao and the others touched their chins, yes, the four generals are all equivalent to one product, but they are big officials, although they look like bandits.

Sure enough, there were a lot of people running out of the "uproar", and Boss Yan didn't even wear his hat well, rushing out, shouting while rushing, "Distinguished guests" Everyone looked at Boss Nayan, who was in his sixties and in good health, and at first glance he was a businessman, full of joy and politeness.

When Boss Yan arrived at the door, he didn't know which one was the right general, but he felt quite an identity when he looked at it.

Long Qiaoguang took out Zhao Jiajun's gold medal and showed it to him, so that he didn't have to be polite.

Boss Yan led everyone into the mansion, and while being polite, he asked curiously, "The purchase of military rations actually requires General Right to come in person."

Zhan Zhao took a look at Bai Yutang, the old man was quite cautious.

Bai Yutang is to Zhanzhao to look at the side of the courtyard.

Zhan Zhao turned his face to look over, and saw a huge stone screen against the wall, and the four big characters of "full of gold and jade" looked inexplicably familiar, including the carving style of the entire stone screen Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, isn't this the same as the screen in the door of the Jin family's old mansion Bai Yutang nodded, the two of them tacitly knew that the relationship between the two families was really extraordinary.

Long Qiaoguang didn't care about Zhanzhao and their investigation of the case, there are certain rules and procedures for purchasing grain in the military camp, and he hasn't bought it before, just follow the rules.

Seeing that the old man was puzzled, Long Qiao Guang said, "The marshal has always been careful, and the sources of all the military rations of the Zhao family army have been personally checked and determined by several of our generals. ” "Oh, yes, yes," Boss Yan smeared his mouth full of honey, and praised Zhao Jiajun for being a good man, and when he walked to the living room, he praised Long Qiao Guang and wanted to confess to him, you can talk better than me The Yan family's house is very magnificent, but it also has some taste, and it deserves the title of the richest man in the local area.

Bai Yutang observed it and found that the house was heavily guarded, and there was no shortage of masters in the housekeeper.

Zhan Zhao frowned, the security here in the Zhou Mansion is good, and there seem to be too many thugs in the old family, and one or two martial arts seem to be good, and they are not young.

What kind of person is Zhan Zhao The three hundred demons of the Demon Palace looked at it and grew up, and he felt at a glance that these were not at all like some kind of family generals, they were simply Jianghu people, and they seemed to have retired, and they were so wary of them.

Entering the reception hall, everyone was seated.

Long Qiaoguang and Boss Yan were talking about things related to the purchase of military rations, and the old man was frowning when he talked about business, and it seemed that he didn't doubt everyone's origin at all.

Zhan Zhao looked around and found that Wu Yiwu was holding a cup, intentionally or unintentionally, looking at Boss Yan.

And Feng Chuanfeng, who was sitting next to Wu Yicao, also touched the beard on his chin, and looked at Boss Yan's eyes as if he had a deep meaning.

The two old men glanced at each other from time to time, as if they were exchanging something.

In the end, Long Qiaoguang proposed to take a look at the warehouse where the grain was stored and the field where the grain was grown, and Boss Yan agreed.

However, the fields needed to be seen tomorrow, and he thought that everyone had come from Black Wind City, so he stayed for the night.

Zhan Zhao and the others naturally agreed, waiting for your words.

Came to the guest room of the Yan family, and when he entered the house, Bai Yutang said to Zhan Zhao, "Mao'er, this house is exactly the same as the old mansion of the Jin family, only the direction of the opening of the door is different." ” Zhan Zhao nodded, he also felt strange, when he was walking in the yard just now, he actually had the illusion of walking into the backyard of the Jin family's old mansion.

"There's another point, which is very suspicious."

Wu Yijiao said, "This Yan boss looks too similar to Yan Wei, the owner of Fan Ju back then. ” Feng Chuanfeng nodded, "If there is no calculation error, this should be Yan Wei's son" Wu Yiwu smiled slightly, "We can be regarded as entering a den of thieves."

At this time, the housekeeper outside brought refreshments with his subordinates, and said, "Several generals have worked hard all the way, take a break for a while, and the lord has prepared a dinner party."

Long Qiaoguang waved his hand, "No need, I'm not here to eat." ” The housekeeper smiled, "I want it, my old man heard that General Right was coming, and he also said that he wanted to come out to meet." ” "Old man" Wu Yiwu was slightly surprised.

"It's your lord's father," Feng Chuanfeng smiled, "Your lord looks not small." ” "Huh."

The housekeeper also smiled, "My old man has the longest life within a radius of 100 miles, and he is more than 100 this year."

"Yes," Wu Yiwu smiled slightly.

Feng Chuanfeng also thought it was funny, and he didn't die yet, and when he saw Wu Yihua for a while, would he faint The butler put down his things and said a few polite words before leaving.

"It's really Yan Wei," Zhan Zhao asked.

"Don't leave ten."

Wu Yiwu said coldly, "Fortunately, I also came, otherwise you would be careful of being harmed by him." ” "He's a bad guy" Long Qiaoguang took out the poison test needle given to him by Gongsun and poked it everywhere to see if it was poisoned.

Feng Chuanfeng said coldly, "Yan Wei thought that he was the king of thieves back then, this person was insatiable and insidious, and this case had something to do with him." ” Wu Yiwu also nodded.

"Then doesn't he know you," Bai Yutang asked Wu Yiwu.

"Not only do you know, but you also have a deep hatred."

Wu Yiwu said slowly.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at him, so you are still so calm Wu Yiwu smiled slightly, it is estimated that when I eat for a while, if the old man is not blind, it will definitely be wonderful to see my expression.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and they didn't know why they were a little looking forward to it inexplicably.

Not to mention that Zhanzhao and the others found out the thief family, Kaifeng is also very lively.

Tianzun and Yin Hou are going to give Taixue a lesson tomorrow, this is difficult to kill these two martial saints, and everyone proposed to teach Bao Yan and them in Kaifeng Mansion first.

Yin Hou looked at the young men who looked like bean sprouts with disgust, thought about it, and let Tianzun teach first.

Tianzun still thought that Yin Hou was too fierce and frightened the children, so he kindly and patiently taught about half a cup of tea kung fu, and then Tianzun overturned the stone tables in the courtyard, "Pig, stupid to death, a heart is taught three times, and the little five will not learn it."

Bao Yan and the others looked at the sky, the old immortal said that he couldn't understand the mental method at all, what kind of qi is the internal force of the acupoint and the internal force of the luck who has the internal force here The only qi in the stomach is the fart Xiao Sizi shook his head, although he didn't understand a word.

Xiao Liangzi also jumped on the side, saying that Bao Yan and they were stupid This group is the pride of the sky, except for Pang Yu, who is often scolded, where have the others been scolded for being stupid, one or two thoughts drooped their heads.

Lin Yueyi had been watching from the sidelines, and she walked up and poked Tianzun.

Tianzun looked at her, and Yi Yi showed him all the things Tianzun had taught just now.

Tianzun clapped his hands after reading it, "This is good for her to compare." ” Lin Yehuo raised his hand, "I'm against it." ” Yi looked at her brother.

Zhao Pu also said, "If the other party has a woman, then it doesn't matter if Yiyi fights with others, but this academy is all men, how can a yellow flower girl compete with others on the stage, besides, you learn so many boys, you want a girl to go out for you to take the martial arts test, and you are not afraid of being laughed at in the future."

Everyone looked at each other, but too.

"It's better to let Lin Xiao practice."

Lin Yehuo proposed, "Look at that kid can still carve and carve, the others are rice buckets, useless." ” At this time, the Purple Shadow and the Ochre Shadow came.

The little fourth son who was sitting on the table and shook his head hurriedly called the two of them, it turned out that these two were sent out by the little fourth son to find out the enemy's situation.

Ziying only pouted, chewing the root of his ear with the little fourth son, "Oh, there are many famous masters in the three major academies" The little fourth son was surprised, "Really" Ziying nodded vigorously, "Every academy has at least one rising star who is a little famous in the rivers and lakes, and the Qiankun Academy is even more outrageous, and it has invited masters of several sects to teach, what Wudang, Shaolin, they all say that they want to win the Tianshan faction and the Demon Palace." ” Yin Hou and Tianzun's eyes narrowed.

Tianzun was dissatisfied, "What does this group of rice buckets have to do with my Tianshan faction?"

Yin Hou also nodded, "There are no scholars in my Demon Palace."

Ochre Shadow spread his hands, "But after all, it has already been spread, and the students of Taixue have been taught by the two of you." ” Tianzun and Yin Hou's teeth creaked Zhao Pu thought for a while, "In fact, if you fight, you don't have to fight with real swords and guns, Zhuge Liang can't fight either, and if you don't fight a war, you can't win a war, and the generals you want to train are naturally not small soldiers, but should be handsome." ” Everyone nodded and felt that it made sense, and Tianzun asked, "Do you have any good proposals?"

Zhao Pu smiled, "If you will lose if you fight alone, you may not lose if you fight in a group." ” Bao Yan and the others all tilted their heads to fight in groups Zhao Pudao, "I'll go into the palace to discuss with the emperor, let him formulate the competition, and what moths will come out of the province, and everyone will prepare after the competition system."

Before Zhao Pu finished speaking, Ge Qing ran in with his head tilted, and asked when he entered the door, "Have you seen the competition system?"

Everyone was stunned, looking at Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu smiled and shook his head, Zhao Zhen is better than a monkey "The yellow list just posted."

Ge Qing specially brought one to everyone.

Bao Yan and the others spread it out and took a look, and the time for the competition in the four academies was set for half a month later.

The items of the competition were set by Zhao Zhen himself, and they were divided into two days in total, the first astronomical test and the second day of the martial arts test.

The literary test is divided into piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and knowledge of the past and the present.

Qinqi, calligraphy and painting are naturally easy to understand, this knowledge of ancient and modern, relying on the ability to read and memorize, Zhao Zhen will send scholars to ask a variety of tricky and strange questions on the subset of history, everyone answers together, can not answer the elimination, the last one is considered to win.

As for what kind of test method this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting is, it is not an ordinary test, and it will be announced at that time.

The next day's martial arts test was only one, Zhao Zhen said almost the same thing as Zhao Pu said just now on the imperial list, the four major academies to cultivate not brave generals but handsome talents, so there will be a special martial arts test, the location of the competition is in the paddock, and the major academies need to produce ten students at that time.

Everyone saw that Zhao Pu was really in the middle of it.

Zhao Pu shook his head with a cup, thinking that being the emperor would cause chaos, although the purpose of his questions was just to watch a good show In the "Ah Sneeze" palace, Zhao Zhen sneezed and rubbed his nose.

Xiao Xiangxiang sat on the dragon leash in front of him, took a handkerchief and wiped his nose, "Father, why are you so happy?"

The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth were curled, "It's interesting to think about," he said, kneading his daughter's dough face, "Half a month later, my father will take you to see a good show." ” Xiao Xiangxiang clapped her hands.

At this time, the Eight Kings walked in, and inexplicably had an illusion, how could Xiangxiang's expression at this time be so similar to Zhao Zhen when he saw Bao Zheng and Pang Ji fighting when he was a child:
