Chapter 272 Negotiation
Not long after, the owner of Yahang came back with the land deed and house deed.

"Two gentlemen and ladies, everything has been done. Here are the keys to the house and shop. Keep them. I wish you a prosperous business and a prosperous home!"

Qibao took the house deed and thanked the boss before leaving the shop.

Xu Wenwu said: "It's almost noon, I guess Brother Su should be back too!"

Qibao nodded and said, "Well, let's go back!"

So the two of them returned to the inn and their room. As expected, Su Chenyu was back.

Su Chenyu said: "I just came back, and the stool hasn't been heated yet."

Qibao said: "What did you find out?"

When Su Chenyu heard Qibao's question, he looked a little unhappy and said: "I followed the boy sent by Wen Mansion all the way out of the city gate. After following for a long distance, I finally went up a mountain and found this mountain. There are actually people patrolling. If I hadn't been good at Qinggong, I might have been discovered. I didn't expect that there was a bandit den called Gangzhai on this mountain, which was very hidden.

It took me a lot of effort to get in. There were quite a lot of people inside. I also overheard the boy talking to the people inside, and I roughly understood what they were doing.

Xuanyang City is a relatively prosperous area, and many foreign merchants will pass by here. Their main purpose is to rob these foreign merchants. Whether it is gold, silver, treasures or other valuable items, they will not refuse them all. "

Wen Yuan asked: "So, does this Magistrate Feng have something to do with this gang village?"

"Well! The leader inside is the eldest brother of Magistrate Feng's aunt. If those businessmen from other places report to the government, Magistrate Feng will send some officers and soldiers to investigate, but it is just a show to show to those businessmen. Over time, this amount will If the money cannot be recovered, the merchants can only consider themselves unlucky and leave."

"How unreasonable! Isn't this a collusion between officials and gangsters? They are going to be beheaded. They are really not afraid of death." Wen Yuan said angrily.

Su Chenyu said: "I found that these bandits really have two skills. They are definitely not just fierce on the surface. I saw all kinds of weapons such as swords and sticks. I guess they have injured many people in the past."

Wenyuan asked: "Then why do they still let these businessmen report to the government?"

Jing Chen said calmly: "This murder is different. Once people know where the person died, the matter will definitely become a big deal, which will not be good for them."

Su Chenyu nodded and said: "My cousin is right, it is true."

"Then what do we do now?"

Su Chenyu said: "There are only six of us in total. There are probably about a hundred or two hundred people on the mountain. It will take some effort to deal with it. Moreover, I have only witnessed this matter with my own eyes and can't produce any evidence. I plan to write a letter." Go back and tell my grandpa and let him find a way to send someone to investigate."

Jing Chen said: "Okay, I think there must be something else we don't know about this matter, and we must find out."

Wen Yuan said: "By the way, I heard from my father that Magistrate Feng seems to have a backer behind him. He said that this person's power is quite high, but we don't know who it is."

Su Chenyu and Jing Chen looked at each other. There were only a few people with high power. If it was really related to them, then this matter would be quite involved.

Su Chenyu said: "Even if he has a backing, no one can be saved from committing the serious crime of beheading. Maybe once this matter is exposed, the people behind Magistrate Feng will also be implicated. Don't think about it, he will definitely be involved. Kick your feet away.”

Qibao said: "Last night I heard that they seemed to be sending the money away in advance. Where to send it? I think it is the so-called backstage!"

Su Chenyu said: "It's very possible that you generally can't get enough benefits. No one will protect you just because they like you, not to mention those people in Beijing who regard their rights and interests as very important."

Wen Yuan said: "No wonder my father has told us since we were young that once people are obsessed with profit, they will lose their bottom line as a human being. I think my father's injuries were most likely caused by people from the Feng family!"

Su Chenyu said: "Yes! I saw that several people in the village were carrying bows and arrows. The arrowhead was exactly the same as the one pulled out from your father's chest." Wen Yuan said: "Damn it! Now I know Who is the murderer, but he can’t take revenge? It’s really frustrating.”

Su Chenyu said: "Don't worry, this matter is not that simple. We can't act rashly. First, we have no substantial evidence. Second, we don't have the emperor's will and cannot kill court officials privately. Let's go back first. I want to Write a letter back to the capital and ask my grandfather to send someone to investigate secretly, and you must not alert the enemy."

Wen Yuan also knew that Su Chenyu's identity was not simple, so he didn't ask too much and nodded: "I can wait, as long as I can avenge my father in the end."

Su Chenyu said: "Yes!"

Qibao said: "I was thinking that the woman who was arrested must have a grudge against the Feng family. Maybe I can learn something from her mouth."

"Qibao, what do you mean..."

Shippo nodded.

Jing Chen said: "Okay, let Ye Feng go to the government prison at night to see if we can rescue the person."

Several people nodded and agreed.

After everything was said and done, it was time to eat, so I asked the waiter in the inn to buy some food and bring it to me.

Su Chenyu took two bites and said, "This dish is not delicious at all. It is not as delicious as the ones made by the Xu family."

Qibao said: "Isn't it because the food you ate at Fentao's house was delicious? Why are you so picky now?"

Su Chenyu said: "That's a big difference! That's because my aunt brought the best things in her house to greet us, so it was her intention, so it's naturally different. We bought these with money. If they don't taste good, they don't taste good. tasty."

Several people chuckled when they heard this. As long as it can be eaten, filling their stomachs is the most important thing.

Xu Wenwu said: "Brother Su, Jingchen, you seem to have a shop in Xuanyang City?"

Su Chenyu nodded and said, "Well, that's right, but we came here originally to investigate the matter. Living in the shop may attract the attention of interested people. After all, I was in the court yesterday, and many people should know me."

"Then when do we plan to go back?"

Su Chenyu said: "If Ye Feng goes well tonight, let's go back tomorrow!"

Wen Yuan said: "I thought I would solve the problem this time, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this!"

Su Chenyu said: "In recent years, Magistrate Feng is afraid that he has used this method to get a lot of money. Once it is found out, all this money is dirty money. If the amount is large, the whole family may be beheaded. Isn't this worse than Can we vent our anger in person to relieve our hatred?"

Wen Yuan thought for a while and nodded. The only way to vent his anger was to teach him a lesson. How could his life be so valuable?
A few of them didn't go out, and kept chatting and resting in their rooms.

It was getting dark, and when there was no one on the street, Ye Feng changed into black clothes and jumped out of the inn window.

Su Chenyu said: "With Ye Feng's ability, he will definitely be able to bring the person back!"

Wen Yuan said: "Brother Su, are you so sure? Needless to say, this prison must be heavily guarded. There is a post every five steps and a sentry every three steps. It is impossible for ordinary people to enter!"
