C10

Nanjing was the capital city of the current dynasty. Although the city had been renamed Ying Tian, the city was full of flowers and flowers. The two rarely had the chance to go down the mountain. Although they were close to Jiuhua, they had never been able to cross it in the future. Both Fang and Zou were teenagers and loved to play. If it weren't for Lin Yuanbiao's serious expression, they really would have had to play for a few days before getting back to business.

The two of them asked around for Old Huai's pawnshop. They walked for a few streets, but no one knew. Faang Hui thought to himself, if this pawnshop was called "Old Huai," then if it had nothing to do with Huai Nan or Huaibei, then it would be at the side of Qin Huai River. He immediately followed the Qin Huai River and their families.

They spent two days in the streets and alleys of Yingtian, but still couldn't find the title "Old Huai Pawnshop". Faang Hui wondered if what Lin Yuanbiao said about Nanjing was Yingtian, then Nanjing province, then Nanjing, usually said Yingtian. As she was thinking, Zou Lee'er suddenly said, "Senior Brother, look over there. There's a sign with the words' Old Huai ', but it's a tavern, not a pawnshop."

Faang Hui nodded, thinking, with the old Huai's name, there's nothing left to do, it's also good to try his luck.

There weren't many customers in the inn, so the restaurant owner was especially relaxed. He was a fat man in his fifties with a face full of fat, making him look rather comical when he smiled. Faang Hui and Wu Tie walked around and asked, "May I ask the owner if you want two of the best rooms?" The fat storekeeper said it in a bunch of voices. As they were going upstairs, Faang Hui suddenly asked, "Is there anyone called Lee Feng in this shop?" Seeing that, the fatty's expression changed and he replied calmly: "Lee Feng? "Hehe, I've never heard of it." Faang Hui nodded and without another word, he went upstairs.

That night, Faang Hui leaned on the roof of the shop and listened quietly. When the moon was high in the sky, they suddenly heard footsteps. There was someone coming from outside. Faang Hui opened a tile of the room and looked into the room to see the shop owner chatting with a middle-aged man. The shop owner asked in a low voice, "Did you find out anything else?" The man replied, "No, those two seemed to have come to Ying Tian two days ago. Along the way, they inquired about Old Huai's pawnshop near Qin Huai River, and with weapons on them, they must be from the martial arts world." The shop owner nodded and said, "They said it's Old Huai's pawnshop, and most of them are from Old Lin's side."

Faang Hui felt ashamed. After all, he had not been in the martial arts world for a long time and had not been able to find any information. Thus, he had been followed and thoroughly investigated. Just as he was thinking, he heard from the shop owner, "Ten days ago, there was news about Ho Laoliu and Old Lin's conflict and it was very serious. Ho Laoliu brought word and said that the people here will be sent by him, but Old Lin refused to give him the news, and in the past few days, there was no news at all." The man continued, "Look at this man and woman, could they have been sent by Ho Laoliu?"

At this moment, another person arrived outside the house. The shop owner waved his hand and extinguished the candle flame. He said softly, "Someone is coming."

Faang Hui was secretly amazed. This shop owner waved his left hand lightly and extinguished the candle flame several meters away. It seemed that all of these were not low in terms of inner strength or outer strength. The person outside the door said softly, "Old friends visit us at night. Boss Hu has extinguished the candle flame. How can this be a way to entertain guests?" It was as if she was a woman.

The owner with the surname Hu chuckled. He lit a candle and opened the door. He said, "I don't know if Hall Master Lee is here. It's late at night, so please forgive his rudeness." Wu Tie was crouching on the roof. When he heard the woman enter the house, his footsteps became light, showing that his Lightness Skill was very high. Faang Hui did not dare move less, afraid that the three people in the house would sense him.

The woman said, "There hasn't been any news for the past two months. The people at my place have nowhere to go. Today, I heard that someone was asking about Old Wai's pawnshop and was staying at Boss Hu's place, so I came to see if it was Ho Laoliu's people or Old Lin's." Boss Hu said, "I don't know about that, but that man is quite quick-witted. He asked about Hall Master coldly." Hall Master Lee hesitated for a moment and said, "That could be Old Lin's man. Old Lin and Ho Laoliu have been getting into a conflict for the past few years, and you guys are all close to Ho Laoliu. That's why you sent people to look for me."

Sun Tie had originally planned to show himself, but when he heard the last sentence, he could no longer remain invisible. He thought that the dispute between Lin Yuanbiao and Ho Laoliu was originally due to internal disagreements. However, Ho Laoliu had betrayed his sect and killed his friends. His character was extremely despicable, so it was not as simple as a dispute. Boss Hu was familiar with Ho Laoliu, and it was unknown whether he was an accomplice or not.

The three people in the room discussed for a while and decided that Hall Master Lee would come tomorrow to test Fang and Zou tomorrow while disguised as a guest. Faang Hui snickered in his heart. When Hall Master Lee walked out of the Old Huai Inn, he slipped down the wall and followed from afar. It was already the middle of the night. Hall Master Lee walked a hundred steps before stopping and asking, "Was it sent by Brother Lin?"

Faang Hui was slightly alarmed. Although she did not hide her footsteps and planned to secretly look for Hall Master Lee after leaving the inn, she did not turn around. She knew it was her the moment she heard that someone was following her. Immediately, he took a few steps forward and cupped his fists in greeting. He said, "I am Faang Hui, and I have been entrusted with something by Senior Lin. I have something to inform Hall Master Lee."

Hall Master Lee was surprised and asked, "You call Old Lin senior, not a member of our sect. This officer's identity is extremely confidential. Old Lin had an outsider inform him, did something happen?" Faang Hui did not answer and instead asked, "Is Hall Master Lee Lee Feng? Why can't I find Old Huai's pawnshop? " Hall Master Lee acknowledged Lin Yuanbiao's words and knew that he was usually very cautious. Now that someone had come to find him by name, something big must have happened. He hurriedly asked for the reason. Faang Hui then continued to clarify the appearance of Old Lin, Ho Laoliu, Lin Shusheng and the others that Hall Master Lee had mentioned. They were indeed the people that Lin Yuanbiao had entrusted to him, and he immediately held up the dagger and said: "Old Senior Lin has said that Ho Laoliu is a traitor, and is afraid that there might be other traitors. Please be careful, Hall Master Lee." Hall Master Lee was shocked, and asked: "Ho Laoliu's apostasy? Is this true? "

Faang Hui shook his head and said, "I don't know if he is a traitor or not." But that Ho Laoliu plotted an ambush and killed your sect's people. I saw it with my own eyes. " Hall Master Lee was silent. He thought that Ho Laoliu and Lin Yuanbiao were always at odds, but Lin Yuanbiao would never speak carelessly of such a big matter. Moreover, if it wasn't a betrayal, how would Ho Laoliu dare to kill his own people?

Zhou Tie continued to say, "Originally, Senior Lin had other things to ask of you, but tonight, seeing that Ho Laoliu has handed in a lot of people, I hope that Hall Master can come and find me after he finishes dealing with the internal affairs. I will stay at the Old Huai Inn and wait for you, Senior Lin said that this matter is related to many elderly, women and children. Liu Tie pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll come to you in three days and you'll be all right. Boss Hu's Empty Palm is very powerful. He is friends with Ho Laoliu, you must be careful. "

Faang Hui felt a chill in his heart, knowing that these people were all members of the church. Originally, they were chased by the imperial court, but were called the Devil Sect by their fellow daoists, and they were all good friends and brothers who knew each other's lives. At this moment, a traitor had appeared within their ranks. He nodded and strolled back to the inn.

The next morning, Fang and Zou ate their breakfast downstairs. They saw Hall Master Lee pretending to be a merchant woman and an old man also placing himself in the restaurant for a meal. At this moment, looking carefully, Hall Master Lee was in his mid-thirties. His eyebrows were like phoenix eyes, and the corners of his eyes were filled with killing intent. That old man was in his sixties or seventies, so there was nothing special about him pretending to be her father. Faang Hui thought of yesterday's words and secretly nodded his head. He thought, "Even though Hall Master Lee doesn't trust Boss Hu, he still disguised himself to go into the store. He's not testing me, he's just putting on an act for Boss Hu."

At this moment, he heard Lee Feng ask Boss Hu, "Boss, we came here to seek help from our relatives, saying that they didn't find Old Huai's pawnshop on the way. I wonder if it's any good to see you here called Old Huai Inn?" Upon hearing these words, Zou Lee'er cast a glance at Faang Hui. Faang Hui snickered in his heart. He thought that Hall Master Lee asking this question was obviously to recruit him. The three of them understood it in their hearts, but none of them said it out loud. He immediately exclaimed, saying that this elder sister was also looking for Old Huai to pawn?

Boss Hu interrupted: "We haven't heard of any Old Huai Pawnshop here, but my Old Huai Inn is a very old name."

Faang Hui ignored Boss Hu and turned to Lee Feng, saying, "Big Sis is an acquaintance of Old Huai's pawnshop, do you know a person called Lee Feng?"

Hall Master Lee replied with an "oh" and said, "Lee Feng is my relative. I don't know who has asked this little brother to look for Lee Feng."

Faang Hui blanked out for a moment, thinking that the act you performed was too fake. I only said that I was looking for Lee Feng, how do you know that I was entrusted by someone else. He didn't point it out immediately and said, "That's great, I was indeed asked by a friend surnamed He to come find Lee Feng. Since I'm your relative, then it's best if you take me there quickly and deliver this to me. I have 20 silver taels."

At this point, Boss Hu was quite surprised, so he interrupted and asked, "Dear guest, I also have a person called Lee Feng, and his friend's surname is He. Is the person with the surname He you entrusted to be from Lu Prefecture?"

Faang Hui secretly nodded. This Boss Hu might be powerful in martial arts, but his intelligence was not that high. Yesterday, when he asked if there was Lee Feng here, he said that he didn't know that when he mentioned Ho Laoliu, he would quickly answer and even arouse Hall Master Lee's suspicion. It seemed like he was going to compete with Hall Master Lee for the information he knew.
