Chapter 266(1/2)
In the afternoon, Yang Jin, He Laosan and Dahei gathered in Du Yong's room to discuss the matter.
Du Yong closed the door and asked, "What's the news? It's so mysterious?"
He Laosan lowered his voice: "Lady and I went to the county government to investigate the news. Although there has not been a notice yet, we found that the Chuanning County government received a report yesterday, which was about Lao Fan's stronghold. Now the twenty-six bodies have been transported to the county government. The Chuanming County government does not know the true identities of the deceased, but only thinks it is a gangster. This incident was classified as a revenge killing in the rivers and lakes. Because there are many people who died, the Chuanning County government was afraid of causing panic, so it decided to investigate secretly."
Du Yong suddenly became interested and smiled and said, "You two are amazing, you even know about the secret investigation."
Dahei smiled and explained: "It's easy to do things with money! The county yard has gathered a lot of people who are serious businessmen, who are pulling the yamen runners on guard to ask this and that, caring about the safety of each road, whether there are any thieves, etc. Lao San and I also made fun of it, deliberately asking if the road next to Lao Fan's stronghold is safe now and whether we can go to business. Five taels of silver asked these. Finally, the yamen runner also told us not to go to that road soon."
Yang Jin said, "This yamen runner took the risk of revealing so much for five taels of silver. He is so brave!"
Dahei added: "He told us secretly and told us not to tell us."
Du Yong grabbed his chin: "The body was transported back by the government. Could it be that... the people from the Holy Dan Sect didn't go to the stronghold? It's impossible. There are still six fish that have escaped the net, and they will be able to go back that day, which is definitely faster than the government. But if the six fish that have escaped the net, why didn't the twenty-six corpses be dealt with?"
Yang Jin said in a deep voice: "I should have been back, but the body has not been disposed of."
He Laosan echoed: "Those evil sects are all people with cold minds. When they encounter such a strange thing, they will run away at the first time. How could they risk dealing with the corpse?"
Something makes sense, Du Yong asked again: "Who reported the case?"
Dahei replied: "It's an old hunter who took the dog to catch rabbits. The dog smelled the rotten smell and took the hunter to the scene."
He Laosan sighed lightly: "I don't know how capable of Chuanning County is in investigation, so I won't find it out, right?"
Dahei smiled, as if he was quite confident, and seemed to comfort himself: "We did so neatly at that time, so the people in Chuanning County should not be able to find it. I have never heard of any powerful case investigation expert in Chuanning County."
Yang Jin doesn't care: "It's really difficult for the government to find out. We need to be more careful if we need to care about the reactions of various forces in the world."
Dahei was stunned: "The Chuanning County government is conducting a secret investigation. What can the various forces in the martial arts world react?"
Yang Jin glanced at him and said angrily: "How secret can the news you can buy with just five taels of silver?"
Dahei touched his head embarrassedly, feeling a little stupid.
Du Yong clapped his hands, ended the topic, and ordered: "Brother Hei, bring out a jade ornament, let's go see the jadeite together, and strive to meet Boss Liu tomorrow."
Dahei left after his fate.
He Laosan was a little worried: "Young master, Boss Liu is so strong and has so many subordinates. Do we still want to touch him?"
He wanted to know why Du Yong touched Boss Liu. Du Yong did not explain to him before, but only said that he would investigate Boss Liu.
Du Yong said in a deep voice: "According to the news that Brother Yang and I have received before, Boss Liu's identity is very unusual. He should know a lot about the Fire Wolf Gang and the Poison Scorpion Gang, and these are all things I care about. He can slow down his movements, but it is essential to understand them."
He Laosan nodded and did not ask any more questions.
Dahei quickly came back with the jade ornaments. It was a white jade Bodhisattva. The material was very straight and the carving was very good. He had carefully wiped off the remaining blood stains on it.
Let's go to the third floor together.
Pinyuren was drinking tea in the room. She looked very leisurely and had a literati style, although his face was very dark.
He didn't even close the door, as if he was showing that he didn't need to be sneaky, and as if he was showing his confidence.
After seeing Du Yong, he quickly put down his teacup, came up and said respectfully: "Young Master!"
After saying that, he opened his body sideways and made a gesture of asking for help.
Du Yong nodded lightly, raised his foot into the room, came to the table, sat down and crossed his legs.
Yang Jin and He Laosan did not sit, but stood behind Du Yong.
Dahei placed the jade ornaments wrapped in cloth on the table and then retreated to He Laosan.
After seeing this, Pinyuren's eyes lit up, and she ran back in a few steps, looked at Du Yong, and asked if she could be opened.
Dahei looked at someone passing by in the corridor, frowned and asked, "Don't you close the door?"
Pinyuren smiled relaxedly: "It's just a look at the goods, it's not a shameful thing."
Yang Jin said lightly: "It is indeed not shameful to look at goods, but we are not as strong as you, Brother Pinyu."
"Young Master laughs!"
Pinyuren waved his hand modestly, closed the door, and turned to look at Yang Jin: "Compared with a kind brother, I dare not be confident. My brother's ability is definitely far better than my best."
"I dare not take it!"
Yang Jin stared at Pinyuren, and the two of them had fierce eyes and finally they both chuckled softly, all without saying a word.
Both of them understood that their strength was comparable, and they would definitely be a loss in the fight.
Du Yong chuckled and said, "No matter what your skills are, you're right to be careful. Now the world is so chaotic."
"That's true!"
Pinyuren walked over, sat opposite Du Yong, and sighed: "Young Master just came to Chuanning County. I don't know if you heard about it. A horrible incident occurred in a small valley near the official road."
He asked this, probably because he was exploring Du Yong's strength and his sensitivity to information.
Du Yong remained silent: "The valley that Brother Pinyu refers to is... the valley where the government carried back twenty-six corpses?"
Pin Yuren was stunned for a moment, but replied immediately, exclaiming: "I didn't expect that the young master's news is so well-informed that this news was leaked in the early morning."
Yang Jin smiled and said, "Brother Pinyu has a more informative news, we only know about it. I wonder if Brother Pinyu can talk about this in detail to satisfy our curiosity?"
"sure!"
Pinyuren nodded and agreed, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The government has not yet concluded, but I am sure that the small valley must be the stronghold of a large gang. And the person who took action must be familiar with this stronghold, maybe he is an old friend..."
Du Yong pretended to be stunned: "Old friend? Old friend is so cruel?"
Pin Yuren explained: "Of course it was because of the interests. The stronghold was looted and there was not even a single or two pieces of silver left. It is inferred that only two people took action at that time, killing twenty-six people, so the possibility of an acquaintance attack was very high."
He Laosan asked, "Brother Pinyu, why do I feel a little unbelievable? Why do you decide that only two people take action?"
Pinyuren smiled confidently: "Of course it's because of the technique. The first person is a swordsman with a very fast speed, and they are all fatal to one blow. The second person is a swordsman, who seems to be a pervert, and his technique is not very straightforward, but he cuts the person into pieces. Apart from these two characteristics, the third characteristic cannot be found on the corpse."
He Laosan said oh, then gave a thumbs up, indicating that the analysis was amazing.
The jade-like man waved his hand and was modest.
Yang Jin murmured: "We originally thought we were super experts from the General Administration."
Pinyuren laughed and said, "It is impossible. If the General Administration issued a move, it would inevitably issue a notice and brag about it to enhance morale and the confidence of the people."
"That's right!"
Du Yong nodded thoughtfully and asked again: "Brother Pinyu, this matter will not affect the black market, right?"
Pinyuren shook her head: "The black market will not be affected. But the subsequent impact should be very powerful."
“How to say it?”
"According to my guess, it should be the alliance between the Fire Wolf Gang and the Poison Scorpion Gang that raided the Holy Pill Sect or the Soul Destroying Sect's stronghold."
"No?"
Du Yong and the other four were filled with joy, but they all pretended to be shocked on the surface.
Dahei inhale and said, "As far as I know, aren't these four major sects rebel? Why are there internal strife?"
Pinyuren said in a deep voice: "The Fire Wolf Gang and the Poison Scorpion Gang are the same, and the Holy Dan Sect and the Soul Destroying Sect are the same. These two gangs have cooperated, but they are also competitors. According to the information I have received, in Pingzhou, the Fire Wolf Gang and the Holy Dan Sect have had several frictions due to grabbing territory. Although the scale is not very large, it is very unpleasant. In Qianzhou, the Fire Wolf Gang and the Holy Dan Sect have some residual power, so it is normal to continue the friction in Pingzhou."
Yang Jin said, "It makes some sense!"
When Pinyuren saw that Yang Jin was the master, he agreed and immediately smiled and said, "Yes!"
Yang Jin nodded: "In addition to continuing the friction in Pingzhou, there are also methods of killing this time. The Scorpion Gang does pay attention to one blow and the Fire Wolf Gang is mostly perverted."
Du Yong sighed: "No wonder Brother Pinyu, you said that the subsequent impact of this matter will be great."
I paused and got back to the point: "Look at something!"
After saying that, he took off the cloth himself, revealing the white jade ornaments.
"Ouch!"
The jade-pinning man's expression lit up. Afterwards, he supported the table, stretched his neck, and his eyes widened, observing the jade ornaments on the table in a very funny posture.
"how?"
Du Yong pretended to be proud and asked with a smile.
The jade-pinning man murmured: "Good thing! First of all, this ornament is big enough. The shape of this kind of Bodhisattva is very common, but it is rare for such a large Bodhisattva. Secondly, the jade has a good texture, white and flawless, with almost no bubbles or impurities. Thirdly, the carving is very delicate, and it must have been written by an old craftsman."
This ornament was selected by Dahei. He laughed and said, "Don't praise you too much, just say how much it is!"
Pinyuren seemed to have not heard it and continued to talk to herself: "But, it seems like she has murderous aura! Where did this ornament come from?"
Yang Jin coughed twice to express his dissatisfaction.
The jade man came to his senses and looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I didn't ask, but I just said it out without realizing it."
Du Yong didn't care at all and said lightly: "You have a good nose, and you can smell the murderous aura on the battlefield."
Pinyuren was shocked: "Is the young master actually a soldier from the battlefield? I feel respectful, I feel respectful!"
Du Yong waved his hand: "It's not me, it's a relative at home. He has been on the battlefield in the early years, occasionally suppressing bandit nests, etc. How to deal with the spoils from many years ago? What are the tricks? Brother Pinyu, you should know?"
"Understand, understand!"
Pinyuren nodded quickly and said solemnly: "I had known that the young master was from a wealthy family, but I didn't expect it to be a family of meritorious deeds. I was really a bit rash before, so don't blame me!"
