Chapter 268 Close the Net

Lu Yanbing also understood at this time that Feng Yuanshi was a mature scholar and would never offend him like this. After all, if she didn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, she was also involved in Li Daoxu and Li Xuandu behind her. Most of the time, Mr. Feng did it without knowing the height of the world. Maybe those things involved in the case were also hidden from Feng Yuanshi's instructions.

At this time, Lu Yanbing, a foreigner, could figure out the truth. How could Feng Yuanshi not understand it, and said in a cold tone: "You are not honest enough to call me? Are you waiting for me to use the family law?"

Feng Lingyao immediately shivered and did not dare to disobey his father, so he could only come to him truthfully.

Not long ago, a group of foreign guests came to the Imperial Capital City. The leader was named Zhang, with the word "long". Speaking of which, Zhang Long and Feng Lingyao are also intimate. Feng Lingyao had gone to Jinling Mansion to do business a few years ago and met Zhang Long on the Qinhuai River pleasure boat. The two had similar temperaments, changed their name and paid a visit.

This time when an old friend came to visit, Feng Lingyao, as a landlord, naturally had to entertain him well. After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Long talked about his purpose this time, and he wanted to do some special business.

Feng Lingyao assisted his father in charge of the Beggars' Sect, and he couldn't hear anything. The so-called special business is the idea of ​​beating people. The Beggars' Sect has mastered 80% of the people in the Imperial Capital. If you see such things, you don't care much. The only worry is that these outsiders are ignorant of the severity of the sect. After all, the Imperial Capital is not as important as other places. The powerful people are everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will involve the royal family. The officials were in the same year, with a lot of colleagues, masters and apprentices, and the royal family is even more related to relatives, which is easy to make trouble.

Seeing that Feng Lingyao was a little hesitant, Zhang Long immediately moved out a box of Taiping Money, which was 10,000 taels. If it was exchanged for silver, it would be 300,000 taels. Although Feng Lingyao has always been rich and frugal, living luxury, and enjoying it in vain, let alone ordinary wealthy families, even many powerful people in the imperial capital could not be comparable to his family, but he had never seen so much money at once, and he was immediately moved. Considering the brotherhood between the two, he agreed.

As for what Zhang Long did, Feng Lingyao only heard a little, and it was basically the kind of "picking and cutting". This kind of business is extremely injustice, harming the nature and harming the good deeds. However, Feng Lingyao was not worried about the invisible and intangible deeds, but was just worried that if he was found out by the government, he would be a serious crime of being cut into pieces, and as the party providing shelter, he would not be able to escape.

So when Qingluanwei was about to inquire about this, Feng Lingyao immediately panicked and directly brought out his father's name, hoping to scare the Qingluanwei away. If he was an ordinary Qingluanwei, he would no longer insist when he heard Feng Yuanshi's name, but he just met Lu Yanbing.

In the past, Lu Yanbing was bullied by Li Taiyi and others, and Li Yuanying did not look at her. She could only knock her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. She undoubtedly held her breath in her heart. When Li Xuandu became rich, she not only ignored her past grudges, but also treated her as before, she had a backer and could no longer tolerate others being looked down upon by others. In addition, this time the errand was explained by Li Xuandu himself, so Lu Yanbing would not retreat and came to the door directly, which was beyond Feng Lingyao's expectations.

In this way, Feng Lingyao could not hide it.

By now, the situation has become clear. Most of the people who kidnapped Yao Xianglian were Zhang Long's group.

Feng Yuanshi asked in a deep voice: "Where is that Zhang Long now?"

Feng Lingyao secretly looked at his father, then immediately lowered his head and whispered: "They dare not settle in the inner city, but found a house in the outer city."

Feng Yuanshi asked, "It's also the house under our name?"

"No, no." Feng Lingyao said hurriedly, "This kind of thing is serious. No matter how confused my son is, he will not dare to leave such a big handle for others to catch him. Zhang Long found the house himself. It is said that the owner is a dilapidated house, and the furniture inside has been pawned, leaving only empty shelves."

Feng Yuanshi's face was a little gentler and he said, "Where is that house?"

Feng Lingyao asked the butler to pick up a map of the outer city, and then searched the map for a long time before marking a location.

After looking at the map, Lu Yanbing nodded slightly, then clasped his fists to Feng Yuanshi and said, "Thank you Mr. Feng."

"I dare not, I dare not." Feng Yuanshi replied with a polite manner, "The dog son is ignorant and bumped into Mr. Wu. I hope Mr. Wu will forgive him."

Lu Yanbing smiled and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just say it."

Feng Yuanshi's face darkened and he shouted, "Don't you apologize to Mr. Five?"

Although Feng Lingyao, who was still kneeling, was reluctant, but his father's order was difficult to disobey, he still kowtowed to Lu Yanbing: "I apologize to Mr. Five."

Lu Yanbing raised his hand and said, "Why should Mr. Feng be so generous? Get up quickly."

Feng Lingyao looked at his father secretly, and saw that his father nodded slightly, then stood up, stood aside with his hands down, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes.

Lu Yanbing said: "We still have to do our jobs, so let's go first."

Feng Yuanyi sent Lu Yanbing and Shen Shuangmei out of the main hall. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this case... what Mr. Qingping meant?"

Lu Yanbing smiled and answered only one word: "Yes."

Feng Yuanyi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said: "I will not reveal any news about today's affairs."

Lu Yanbing bowed and said, "thank you so much, say goodbye."

Feng Yuanyi personally sent Lu Yanbing and Shen Shuangmei out of the mansion. Lu Yanbing knew that just by his own face was not enough to make this old guy mobilize such a lot. After all, it was the name of his senior brother who shocked him.

When the two left Feng Yuanyi's private residence, Shen Shuangmei gently exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Thanks to Mr. Five this time, if it were me, I might not have seen this beggar king."

Lu Yanbing laughed: "I don't have such a big face either. Feng Yuanshi is not afraid of me, but the senior brother behind me. A few years ago, it was not easy for me to see him."

Shen Shuang nodded. Everyone said that hearing it was a shame. When he heard others talk about Mr. Qingping, he was not deeply touched after all. After experiencing this, he understood what these four words meant. Even Li Xuan didn't have to come forward in person. Just a name made a big man like Feng Yuanshi walk on thin ice.

This has only been three years.

In just three years, it is enough to establish authority, but it is far from enough to accumulate authority. Mr. Qingping's name is so shocking that it shows that there is no water at all. This is a reputation that is truly gained by trampling on others' corpses, rather than a reputation accumulated by praising each other.

The reason why Lu Yanbing became a fence-bearer has a great relationship with her timid nature. Now she doesn’t know the details of Zhang Long and his group. She doesn’t want to come to the door rashly. If she hits the iron plate, it will be more than worth the loss. Anyway, the senior brother told me that if necessary, she can easily move Mrs. Lan to take action. She doesn’t have to be polite, so she discussed with Shen Shuangmei: “If we go rashly, those people will jump over the wall and kill hostages, we may not be able to fully control the situation, so I mean to invite Mrs. Lan over here first. With her in charge, there will be no mistakes.”

Chen Shuangmei felt that this statement was reasonable. The key to this case was to save people. She nodded and said, "Mr. Fifth thought very much. I will also mobilize people and block the streets so as not to miss the net."

Chen Shuangmei is the headmaster, and her power is actually quite good. There are twenty constables under her. This refers to the "commonial and regular officers" with a staffed service. When a regular officer goes out to work, he has to take two deputy officers, and each deputy officer has to bring a white-bodied "master" with no staff. In this way, a constable officer is actually nearly ten people who go out. Chen Shuangmei has twenty constable officers, but in fact there are more than two hundred people. It is really not a small number in the imperial capital. The key is that these servants are all native and have amazing lands, familiar with various situations in the city. Most of them are from outer cities and have good connections. They are really like fish in water. If you really want to find people and keep a target, even the great masters of the Heavenly Realm may not be able to compare with them.

The two agreed to meet on the street from Zhang Long's house, so they left separately.

An hour later, Chen Shuangmei met Lu Yanbing at the agreed place, but did not see the Lady Lan, and she couldn't help but give Lu Yanbing a questioning look.

Lu Yanbing smiled and explained: "Mrs. Lan is fine, so she doesn't mind doing us a little favor. She has arrived, but she hasn't shown up. Where are your staff?"

Chen Shuang's eyebrows said, "I have already spread all over it, I'm staring at it."

Lu Yanbing nodded, "That's good."

The two did not set off immediately and waited for a while until someone came from the house, dressed in ordinary people's clothes, and whispered to Chen Shuangmei: "The person is still there, and he shouldn't notice it, but they seem to be preparing to leave the imperial capital."

Chen Shuangmei nodded.

The man continued, "And this house is a bit weird. You should be careful when you attack and don't be impressed."

Chen Shuangmei responded in a low voice and waved her hand.

The person who came no longer spoke, and hurriedly walked away with his head down, like an ordinary passerby.

Chen Shuangmei looked at Lu Yanbing and said, "Thanks to Mr. Wu, one step later, this group of people will escape."

"They can't run away." Lu Yanbing said, "I want to see who this group of people is and dare to do such a thing in the Imperial Capital."

After saying that, the two walked towards the street where the house was located.

It is said that it is a street, but it is actually only a little wider than the alley.

The outer city is not as good as the inner city. There are no flat bluestone streets. The ground is mostly bumpy, sewage is everywhere, and there are also a lot of random constructions. This house is a shed and the other house is a chicken coop, making the streets that are not wide become narrower and deeper, the more they are. There are many low sheds on both sides of the street, almost to the point where the eaves touch the eaves. The dim light and various smells make the two women unable to help frowning.

Lu Yanbing used to live in the inner city, so where did he come from this place? He only felt that this place and the inner city were two different worlds.

Zhang Long and others chose this place as a hiding place instead of the tall and prosperous inner city, which shows that they had put some thought into it.
