Chapter 29 Investigation in progress

Author: Lao Zhongos

After returning to the inn, Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Chen discussed the clues in their hands. Lu Xiaofeng said, "The printing plate carved by Zhu Ting has been destroyed by his own hands. The only one who can imitate it is Zhu Ting's fellow senior brother Yue Qing."

"According to Luo Baotou, Yue Qing died of the plague seven years ago. After his cremation, his ashes were enshrined in Yunjian Temple outside the city." Lu Xiaofeng paused and then continued.

"In prison, Zhu Ting told me that Yue Qing had a daughter. Maybe she had some clues? But Zhu Ting had never seen Yue Qing's daughter when she grew up. He only knew that Yue Qing had said that her daughter had a patch on her chest.

The black mole is shaped like the mark of Lu Ban's axe, and he once boasted that this was the person chosen by the ancestor." Lu Xiaofeng looked at Zhang Chen with a glass of wine and said with a smile.

"Brother Lu, are you testing me? This is obviously because you suspect a traitor to use a enchantment trick. Otherwise, how could you not have seen the friendship between them?" Zhang Chen also picked up the wine glass and said to Lu Xiaofeng.

.

After hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly and said to Zhang Chen, "Smart people, I just like smart people!".

The two looked at each other, smiled, and drank together...

In the afternoon, Boss Qian, the manager of Datong Baochao, learned that Lu Xiaofeng was pursuing the case, so he invited Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Chen to the bank.

After repeatedly looking through the forged banknotes in the bank, I found that the forged banknotes were all in large denominations of more than one thousand taels and had wine stains and a faint smell of rouge.

"I conclude that these counterfeit banknotes must be used in romantic places," Lu Xiaofeng said with certainty.

Zhang Chen interjected from the side and said, "Although this place is not big, there are not many romantic places. We only have three days."

I have a good friend, Sikong Zhaixing, who is known as the King of Thieves in the world, and is considered a legend in the world of thieves along with Bai Zhantang, Ji Wuming and others. He happened to be nearby this time, so I asked him to help investigate these places.

That night, Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Chen saw Sikong Zhaixing weighing a fan pendant in his hand on a street. Lu Xiaofeng had an idea and said to Zhang Chen, "Look at mine." Then she used Qing Kung Fu to grab the fan pendant and ran out of the city.

Seeing Sikong Zhaixing chasing after him, Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly and then used Qinggong to catch up.

Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing were talking when they chased them into the woods. Seeing that Zhang Chen was just a little late, they chased after him and curiously asked, "Who is this? He has such light skills at such a young age."

Lu Xiaofeng introduced from the side, "This is Zhang Chen's good friend Bai Zhantang."

Sikong Zhaixing nodded and said, "I haven't met Bai Zhantang for several years. I heard that he has retired from the world. I don't know whether it is true or not."

Zhang Chen replied, "Brother Bai, now he has retired from the world, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish."

Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile on the side, "Don't talk about me, I heard that you also washed your hands in a golden basin. Why are you still stealing?"

Sikong Zhaixing immediately shouted loudly, "I didn't steal it, I borrowed it. Moreover, I just borrowed something that I am interested in for a few days. If I meet the original owner by chance, I will still return it to him."

Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Chen shook their heads when they heard Sikong Zhaixing's sophistry, because such a chance was too small. Lu Xiaofeng played with the fan pendant in her hand and said, I will help you return it to its original owner this time.

After chatting for a while, Lu Xiaofeng told Sikong Zhaixing the reason for coming to him for help this time, and then asked Sikong Zhaixing about any places nearby where he could spend money and spend money. Sikong Zhaixing thought for a while and said that only Jile Building could handle such a large area of ​​reward consumption.

Do it.

Lu Xiaofeng and Zhang Chen followed Sikong Zhaixing to a hidden forest, and then stopped at a coffin.

"The address of the Bliss Building is that after entering the coffin, someone will deliver it to the location. It can be said to be very hidden," Sikong Zhaixing said from the side.

Lu Xiaofeng and the two nodded and entered the coffin. After a moment, they felt the coffin moving. They heard a bang as the coffin landed and someone pushed the coffin lid open. When everyone came out of the coffin, they heard "Welcome, guests" from behind.

Come to the Bliss Tower".

I saw the shopkeeper and the servant wearing masks. She and three other people also put on masks and were led into the building by the servants. After observing for a while, Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "It is indeed a gold-splitting cave. In just a moment, thousands of people

It’s all gone”.

While he was sighing, Zhang Chen patted him on the shoulder, and then pointed at a man who was dressed dignifiedly and had an extraordinary bearing.

When Lu Xiaofeng saw this, she was stunned for a moment, then walked to him with a chuckle and changed her tone and said, "Master, please stay, you dropped something."

Hua Manlou asked, "What is it?"

"It's a fan pendant. Does this young master look familiar to us before?" Lu Xiaofeng continued.

Hearing this, Hua Manlou also smiled lightly and said, "I don't know if you look familiar, but your smell is very familiar to me."

When Lu Xiaofeng heard Hua Manlou say this, she knew that Hua Manlou had recognized her, so she had to change her tone and said, "Why are you here at Jilelou? Then when I slapped my forehead and thought of it, I forgot that you are the young master of Datong Baochao."

After dropping the fan in her hand to Huamanlou, Lu Xiaofeng waved to Zhang Chen and Sikong Zhaixing and walked aside.

This is Sikong Zhaixing and this is Zhang Chen. They are all my friends. He pointed at Huamanlou and said, this is my childhood friend Huamanlou, the young master of the Jiangnan Hua family.

After everyone greeted them one after another, they decided to go upstairs. After all, there were only ordinary gamblers downstairs, so they couldn't get much information.

That night, Lu Xiaofeng had spent all the gambling money provided by the building. She spent money like water on the second floor of Ji Le Building. However, when she went up to the third floor and entered the room of a girl who claimed to be Wu Yan, she looked a little elegant. The room was lit with expensive ambergris and the decoration was beautiful.

It doesn't look like a casino but like a woman's boudoir.

Sikong Zhaixing had long since disappeared. Zhang Chen and Huamanlou stayed for a while. Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng was still not coming down, they planned to return.

The two returned to the woods with the coffin. After taking out the coffin, Zhang Chen said to Huamanlou, "Huamanlou, let's go back to the inn first! The two of them should be able to investigate tonight, what is going on in Jilelou?"

Hua Manlou nodded, and the two returned to the inn, waiting for the return of Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing...
