The Heavens: Cross the World

Chapter 82 Investigation
Two days later, Tianjin Station, Hu Mansion.

Hu Yufen looked at the concubine in front of him with a headache.

"Woooo... Master, I'm just such a younger brother. He was murdered. If I can't avenge him, I won't live anymore, woohoo!"

He Cuilian knelt on the ground. Although her figure was petite, she had an exquisite figure, her skin was as fair as porcelain, and her pink skirt embroidered in Suzhou perfectly set off her beauty.

It's just that at this time she was crying with pear blossoms and rain, which made people feel pity.

Hu Xunfen quickly helped her up, and said: "It's unreasonable, what does the prefect of Tianjin do for food? A majestic yamen master can be attacked and killed by strong people at home!"

"Cuilian, I will definitely avenge your brother. Don't worry, I will send someone to Jinmen right now to find out the truth."

Hu Yunfen's words gave He Cuilian hope, and she threw herself into Hu Yunfen's arms, crying and acting like a spoiled child.

After a while, an officer wearing the costume of the new army commander appeared in the Hu residence.

This person is burly, stout, with a strong back and a waist.

He is about 30 years old, with piercing eyes, vigorous blood, and steady steps.

Entering the living room, he saw Hu Xunfen and He Cuilian. He immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Yan Zhendong, I greet you, my lord!"

Hu Yufen looked at this person, let go of He Cuilian, and said in a deep voice, "Zhendong, get up."

"Thank you sir."

"I remember you came from Shandong, right?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Shandong has talents. You were recommended by my brother-in-law, right?"

Yan Zhendong clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice: "The villain came from a humble background. Fortunately, Mr. He recommended him to join the new army and was favored by the adults. Only then can he have today's fortune. The villain will never forget it."

Hu Yufen nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Well said, Zhendong, I knew that you are a person who knows how to repay you, and I also know that you are always brave. Today I have important things for you to do."

"Sir, please order."

"My brother-in-law was assassinated in Jinmen."

When Yan Zhendong heard this, he couldn't help raising his head, showing surprise, and immediately asked: "Who is so bold?"

"I don't know, so I want you to check it out. I only have one request. Find the murderer. If you want to see the person alive, you need to see the dead body!"

"Follow your orders!"

"Go to the barracks to lead 100 people, go."

"Yes, my lord!"

……

Watching Yan Zhendong leave, He Cuilian couldn't help but said, "Master, is this person reliable?"

Hu Yufen smiled: "Don't underestimate this rough guy. This guy looks rough, but he is actually quite scheming, and he is a guy who knows the times."

"Then he can catch the murderer? To avenge my brother?"

"Hehe, there are quite a few talents in the new army, but when it comes to martial arts, this person is definitely in the forefront."

"Don't look at his ugly appearance, but this man is dressed in a horizontal iron cloth shirt, invulnerable to weapons and guns. No matter who the murderer is, as long as he is found out, he will definitely bring it!"

Only then was He Cuilian satisfied, and threw herself into Hu Yunfen's arms to act like a baby.

Hu Yunfen is over half a century old, this He Cuilian is about the same size as his granddaughter, yet he loves her so much and loves her so much.

……

But Yan Zhendong came out of Hu's residence, and his eyes showed joy: "God help me, if I can catch the murderer, the Hu Press inspector will definitely treat me differently, and I will surely stand out among the new army!"

"At that time, I will see who dares to look down on me, a martial artist!"

Rushing back to the barracks, Yan Zhendong ordered a team of 100 people without saying a word, and immediately led them to leave the barracks and head straight for Jinmen.

In the afternoon, he arrived at the Jinmen Yamen.

County magistrate Cao Fu had already received the news, and greeted Yan Zhendong outside the yamen early.

Yan Zhendong came on horseback, the team of 100 people was quite huge.

The training of the new army was quite effective, and orders were banned.

Yan Zhendong dismounted from his horse, stared at Cao Fu, the county magistrate, and threw out Hu Yufen's warrant, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Cao, do you know what I'm here for?"

Cao Fu's head was covered with cold sweat, Hu Yunfen's brother-in-law died at home, of course he, the county magistrate, was terrified.

In fact, Cao Fu didn't care about anything at all in the county government office, and He Sheng'an had to get a nod for all matters big or small.

Who made He Shengan have a good brother-in-law?

When He Sheng'an died, he was happy in his heart, but he was also terrified.

Fearing that Hu Xunfen's anger would implicate him, seeing Hu Xunfen sending someone here at this time, he was naturally panicked.

Cao Fu lowered his head and said: "I know, I know, we are very sad about Master He's death, my lord, if you have any orders, we will fully cooperate."

Yan Zhendong nodded in satisfaction, and said, "My lord, Yan Zhendong, I'm here this time to thoroughly investigate the case, let's talk about the situation."

Cao Fu nodded hastily: "I'll have someone explain the situation to Mr. Yan, Catcher Wang, you can tell."

Wang Butou is an old man in the yamen, he is quite experienced in criminal cases, so he stepped forward at this time and quickly talked about the case.

"My lord, it is already dawn when we received the report."

"The person who reported the case was He Xuweng, the housekeeper of the He Mansion. According to his confession, there were only a group of dancers in the room that day, as well as Mr. He, Mr. Qin and his father and son of Tiedaomen."

"Is there a living mouth?"

Yan Zhendong asked the core question directly.

Wang Bu shook his head: "No, the three dancers, together with Mr. He, Mr. Qin and his son, all died. In addition, Mr. He was tortured during his lifetime. According to his wife, most of the money in the family was gone."

"The villain initially suspects that the murder may be due to money."

Yan Zhendong ignored it, just narrowed his eyes, and muttered to himself: "Master Qin of the Iron Sword Gate? Even he is dead?"

He has been in the Jinmen martial arts, and with his iron cloth shirt kung fu, it was not difficult to open a martial arts gym in Jinmen back then.

It's just that he committed crimes in Shandong, joined the White Lotus Sect, and smashed foreign churches, so he didn't dare to open the museum with great fanfare.

After wandering for a long time, he performed on the street for a day, and was valued by He Shengan, so he stayed by his side as a bodyguard.

After that, he helped He Shengan deal with many dirty things in Jinmen.

Once he killed a big man, Jinmen couldn't stay anymore, so He Sheng'an thought of a way to stuff him into the new army, so that he has the prestige he has today.

So he is no stranger to the underworld martial arts gym in Jinmen.

Master Qin of the Iron Sword Sect, he is even more aware that this person is proficient in the technique of the Nine Ring Broadsword, and is a well-deserved master in Jinmen.

Even his iron cloth shirt, if it meets the opponent's nine-ring sword, it may break the defense.

Now even this Lord Qin died in the He Mansion, the murderer's force is so high, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "Which one is the strongest in Jinmen Boxing Gym?"

Cao Fu was stunned for a moment, his expression was confused, of course he didn't understand about martial arts.

But Wang Catcher immediately helped him out, saying: "Nowadays, among all the martial arts schools in Jinmen, the only ones that are powerful are the Huo Family Boxing and the recently established Strong Martial Arts Association."

"However, Feng Ji, the president of the Strong Martial Arts Association, had a fight with Huo Yuanjia, the successor of Huojiaquan, a few days ago. I heard that Huo Yuanjia lost. Everyone said that now Feng Ji is the number one in Jinmen."

Yan Zhendong was very interested, of course he had heard of Huo Yuanjia's name.

Didn't expect anyone else to be able to defeat Fearless?

He suddenly asked: "Is there any conflict between the Strong Martial Arts Association and Tiedaomen?"

"Uh, yes, I heard that President Feng of the Strong Martial Arts Association once challenged Tiedaomen, but Lord Qin lost." Wang Butou said.

Yan Zhendong immediately narrowed his eyes: "I have a feud with Master Qin, and if I can win, there are only a handful of schools in Tianjin. There must be something wrong with this strong martial arts club."

He immediately asked again: "Does this person surnamed Feng have any relationship with Mr. He?"

"According to He Xuweng, the Feng family wants to donate an official, and has been asking Master He to help clear up the relationship."

"Master He hasn't finished it for a long time, it seems that he deliberately... deliberately made things difficult..."

Yan Zhendong's eyes lit up immediately.

"Come on, go to the Strong Martial Arts Club!"
