Wang Wei and Xing Qi returned to the prison and informed Shan Wu and Zheng Ba about Lu Feng going to Baihua Garden to listen to music, which once again aroused a wave of complaints and accusations.
Although Lu Feng, the newly appointed prison officer, made Wang Wei and the others very dissatisfied, they were professionally trained and could not tolerate any dereliction of duty on their part. After returning to the prison, Wang Wei and Wang Wei helped Shan Wu take care of everything.
Government affairs, I sorted out the materials again and memorized most of the information in my mind.
This is their professional quality, and it is also what they rely on to protect themselves in the future if Lu Feng neglects his duties and is investigated by the spiritual prison.
…
As for Lu Feng, he had already arrived in the Baihua Garden and was sitting on his back at a table by the window, lazily watching the performance on the stage and sipping snacks and fruits.
On the stage, the repertoire performed by the actors is still the knight-errant life of a great man, conveying to the audience the spiritual thoughts of helping the world and serving the people.
Lu Feng looked at the actor with a white patterned face in the center of the stage with a soft smile. The actor was dancing with a flower spear in his hand. When Lu Feng looked at him, he also turned away. When their eyes met, the spear in the actor's hand couldn't help but shift.
For a moment, fortunately, the brief absence did not affect the performance of the opera.
The absent-minded actor was none other than Gui Ling. When Lu Feng left Heifeng Town, he specifically ordered everyone from Ye Yu Hall to come here secretly to investigate because he was worried that Ma Qiufeng and Tianyuan City were hiding the vampires.
Lu Feng originally planned to wait for everyone in Ye Yu Hall to get useful information before leaving for Tianyuan City, but he did not expect that he would come in advance as the new prison officer.
After listening to the opera with great interest and watching the guests in Baihua Garden leave one by one, Lu Feng originally planned to sneak into the backstage quietly to meet the Gui Ling, but he suddenly received a message from the Gui Ling.
Lu Feng's expression condensed, he immediately stopped, stretched out slowly and walked outside.
From the information sent by Gui Ling, we learned that although she was hiding in Baihua Garden as an actress, Baihua Garden was not entirely under the influence of Ye Yutang. Among them, the old opera troupe members who were originally rooted in Tianyuan City were not
He did not leave. Although Tie Puppet secretly purchased the Baihua Garden as a businessman, he did not expel everyone unkindly. He only arranged for Gui Ling to follow him here to find out the news.
After walking out of Baihua Garden, Lu Feng walked eastward for most of the time of a stick of incense and came to a shop called "Yunluo Jinxiu". He looked like he was casually wandering around and walked in while looking around.
Yunluo Jinxiu displays fabrics and satins of various colors. Although the quality of these fabrics and satins is good, the prices are slightly higher than other cloth stores, so there are not many customers on weekdays, and the meaning of its existence is
It's not about making money.
In the shop, behind a long counter that was as tall as his height, Chimei slowly supported his chin with his right hand and was listlessly moving the abacus on the counter back and forth with his left hand.
Suddenly, Chimei felt someone walking in from outside the door, a flash of impatience suddenly flashed across her face, and she was unwilling to entertain any more, thinking that the visitor would leave on her own after seeing the price tag marked on the silk.
Glancing inadvertently from the corner of his eye, the annoyance on Chi Mei's face disappeared in an instant, and the left hand that moved the abacus stopped in mid-air.
"Tang..." Chimei stood up suddenly and subconsciously wanted to shout out the word "Tangzhu". Fortunately, he reacted immediately the moment he said the word, suppressed the word "Tangzhu", and turned to look at him with a smile on his face.
Lu Feng, "Sir, the silks and satins here are not to your liking. We also have a few pieces of newly woven cloth. Are you interested?"
After saying this, Chimei opened the curtain of the back room behind her and motioned Lu Feng to move forward.
Although there are no other customers in Yunluo Jinxiu Shop, there is a street with people coming and going outside the store. It is inevitable that some people will glance in. It is not a suitable place for negotiation.
Lu Feng arranged for everyone in Ye Yutang to explain when they came to Tianyuan City that they would try not to let anyone know their existence, so as not to alert others. Therefore, Gui Ling, Chi Mei and others all obeyed the order and hid their identities.
Lu Feng walked into the back room. Chi Mei locked the door of the shop and followed quickly. He reached out and carefully turned a candlestick placed on the shelf in the room, and then a hidden secret door slowly opened and closed.
The bitter smell of herbs hit him head-on. Lu Feng's brows instantly furrowed, and a flicker of doubt flashed in his heart.
In the back room, Ye Youren was wrapped in countless gauze, lying on a wooden bed, with a concoction being boiled on the bedside.
Tie Puppet and Phantom Hand and Ghost Sword were sitting at a table and chair on one side, looking after the medicine stove. When they heard the secret door opening, Tie Puppet saw Lu Feng walking in, and stood up instantly, followed by Phantom Hand and Ghost Sword, and stood up solemnly.
.
"See the Hall Master." The two of them bowed in unison, full of respect.
Ye Youren, who was lying on the bed, moved his limbs and wanted to get up to salute, but due to his injury, he could only barely raise his upper body and leaned slightly on the edge of the bed.
"No need to be polite," Lu Feng walked in quickly and checked Ye Youren's injuries.
"What's going on?" Lu Feng looked at Tie Puppet with a serious expression. Before leaving, he handed over Ye Yu Hall to the latter's management. Now that Ye You Ren was seriously injured, he naturally wanted to ask clearly.
Tie Puppet was dull and felt a little guilty for a moment.
Seeing this, Ye Youren hurriedly explained: "This has nothing to do with the Iron Puppet, it's all because of my reckless behavior."
Chimei looked at Ye Youren's remorseful look and explained to Lu Feng: "Ye Youren broke into the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago and wanted to find out the strength of the City Lord's Mansion, but unexpectedly there was a strong man from the Earth Soul Realm in the mansion.
, one was accidentally noticed by the other party, and managed to escape with serious injuries."
Lu Feng had checked Yeyou Ren's injuries before and found that he had indeed suffered serious internal injuries, but fortunately his meridians were not damaged and he could recover within a few months of recovery.
Lu Feng was not surprised by what Chi Mei said that there were soul masters at the Earth Soul Realm in the City Lord's Mansion. This was already confirmed when he and Wu Ying broke into the City Lord's Mansion at night.
Lu Feng took out part of the healing elixir given by Ye Fan and asked Ye Youren to recover well in the near future. He was prohibited from performing any tasks until he recovered. Then he asked about Ma Qiufeng and the vampire clan.
Chimei said with a trace of apology: "We have secretly searched the streets and alleys in Tianyuan City these days, but we have not found any news about Ma Qiufeng."
Lu Feng didn't feel too disappointed after hearing Chi Mei's words. There was no news about Ma Qiufeng, which meant that the other party was probably hiding it very well and hadn't been exposed yet.
"Tell me, what have you found out these days?" Lu Feng looked at everyone.
Chi Mei glanced at Tie Puppet, who slightly shrugged his head. After being instructed to speak on his own, Chi Mei began to state.
"Returning to the hall master, we have found out that there have been subtle changes in the local forces in Tianyuan City in the past six months. Originally, Tianyuan City had many families headed by Chai, Su, Zhao, Zhou, etc., but not long ago, a group of people related to the Zhou family
Everyone, whether they are ordinary shops or houses, have all moved out of Tianyuan City, and now there are only three families left in Tianyuan City: Chai, Su, and Zhao."
Lu Feng thought deeply and said, "Have you ever found out the reason?"
Chimei shook her head, "People say that it was because Zhou Xuancheng, the legitimate son of the Zhou family, was accidentally killed by the city lord's son during the soul fighting competition, that made the Zhou family leave this sad place."
At this point, a trace of doubt appeared on Chi Mei's face, "I don't think this matter is that simple. The power of the Zhou family is not weak, and their properties are spread all over Tianyuan City. But after they left Tianyuan City, all these properties were taken over by Chai Mansion.
The past has been taken over.”
After saying that, Chimei summarized her guess in a somewhat unsteady tone.
"I feel that the Zhou Mansion does not look like it has been moved elsewhere, but rather like it has been coerced and driven out of Tianyuan City."
Lu Feng listened carefully to Chi Mei's words and thought about it: "Let's not rush to a conclusion. Is there any other news besides this matter?"
Chimei continued: "Also, the Blue Sky Formation Association suddenly moved from the outskirts of the city to another town a while ago. The specific reason is unclear."
Lu Feng listened carefully to many of Chi Mei's statements, but there was still no progress in terms of traces of the blood clan or news about Ma Qiufeng.
…
In the evening, Lu Feng came to the Prison Mansion and couldn't help but feel a little impressed when he looked at the large mansion in front of him. The whole mansion was full of solemnity, and the two stone lions standing at the gate were even more majestic and intimidating.
Compared to the dilapidated and incomplete mansions in Black Wind Town, the one in front of us is clearly majestic and majestic.
In the prison, Wang Wei, Zheng Ba, Xing Qi, and Shan Wu had just had dinner and were resting and chatting in the courtyard, chatting about what they had seen during the day, discussing their respective practices, martial arts, etc., giving each other advice.
Learning.
Lu Feng walked in through the door, and the four of them just raised their heads slightly, bowed politely, and then continued chatting.
If it weren't for the upbringing they had received over the years, they might have simply chosen to ignore Lu Feng.
Shan Wu originally had the last hope for Lu Feng, but seeing the latter lingering in the theater for a whole day completely disappointed him.
"The bedroom is in the east, and the prison room and training room are in the west."
As Lu Feng walked through the courtyard, Wang Wei's plain words came from behind.
There are more than a dozen large and small rooms in the prison. In addition to bedrooms for people to rest and the prison office where files are stored, there are also cells for short-term detention of prisoners, etc.
Wang Wei originally thought that Lu Feng would go to the bedroom to rest immediately after visiting the theater all day, but unexpectedly, the latter went straight to the prison room.
Shan Wu, Zheng Ba and Xing Qi looked at Lu Feng's back with surprise in their eyes.
"Why is he going to the prison room?" Shan Wu frowned, his face full of confusion.
Xing Qi snorted coldly: "What else can a person like him do? Most likely he wants to find the corruption and bribery path left by the previous prison officer."
Among the prison officers assigned to various places by the Spiritual Prison, it is inevitable that there will be more or less dirty hands. If these prison officers are not dismissed by the Spiritual Prison investigation, then most of them will use the bribery skills in their hands when they retire or are transferred elsewhere.
The fat difference was handed over to a new prison officer whom he could trust.
Therefore, Xing Qi would inevitably feel a bit contemptuous of Lu Feng when he came back from the theater and went straight to the prison room.
"Let him go," Wang Wei sighed. He knew all the materials and files archived in the prison office, and knew that if Lu Feng went for bribery and corruption, he would definitely not gain anything.
