Shopkeeper Ning knocked on the door of Huo Tingyu's study.
Huo Tingyu looked up and was quite surprised to see that it was shopkeeper Ning who came to see him.
"What happened?" Huo Tingyu put down the documents about Yucheng in his hand and looked at shopkeeper Ning.
Shopkeeper Ning lowered his head and glanced at the documents on Huo Tingyu's desk, then looked at Huo Tingyu with some surprise: "Zhou Zhaoyuan is in Jade City?"
Huo Tingyu nodded.
He had a deep impression on Shopkeeper Ning. The most profound impression was that he looked like a scholar, but he was actually a businessman.
Shopkeeper Ning had a cold and polite smile on his face: "We have also heard about this incident, so there is a way."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
Although Huo Tingyu had already made plans to go to Yucheng to find Zhou Zhaoyuan, he still wanted to listen to shopkeeper Ning's opinion. Perhaps his method could solve the matter more easily.
Shopkeeper Ning cleared his throat: "We have a former palace man here."
"Palace man?"
"Yes, the palace servant can rectify the name of the employer." Shopkeeper Ning's eyes were firm.
Huo Tingyu frowned: "However, it is inevitable that others will say that the palace people you and I found were just false witnesses who acted according to circumstances."
Shopkeeper Ning quickly shook his head: "Is it possible that my father-in-law also found it just as he said?"
"Father-in-law?"
Huo Tingyu looked at shopkeeper Ning curiously.
Shopkeeper Ning nodded: "It's the palace people in the palace."
For a moment, Huo Tingyu felt that his eyes were bright.
There was an excited look on his face: "I'm going to find a reporter from the newspaper for you right now, and we'll discuss how to publish it in the newspaper. Otherwise, if you continue to spread rumors like this, it will only make the whole thing become more and more outrageous."
Shopkeeper Ning nodded: "You are right, so we must pay attention to this matter."
At this moment, the three people who were far away in Yongzhou had already walked to the door of the martial arts hall.
"I said, how should we blend in so as not to stand out?" Wu Jiang asked the two people next to him softly.
"What are you afraid of? We're just here to find someone, not to play in the gym. We're going to have our backs straightened out."
Lei Yishan glanced at Wu Jiang with disgust, raised his hand and patted Wu Jiang on the back.
Wu Jiang was shocked and quickly straightened his back.
Lu Lianshou had no reaction to this. He raised his head and looked at the plaque on the door of the martial arts gym.
"Dechang Martial Arts School." Lu Lianshou muttered the name of the martial arts school.
Three people were standing at the door, and a man walked out of the martial arts hall. He looked quite thin and did not look like a martial arts practitioner.
But with Lu Lianshou's eyes, it was natural to see that the young man's steps were very steady, and the movement he made when he crossed the threshold was enough to show that this man had solid basic skills in kung fu.
It seems that the inside of this martial arts gym is not as simple as it seems.
The young man ran in the direction where Lu Lianshou and the others were. He looked lazy and didn't move much with his feet, but he happened to be in front of the three of them in just one breath.
"You three look at each other, why do you come to our martial arts studio?" The young man smiled and looked at Lu Lianshou, who was standing at the front.
It should have been a warm smile, but coupled with a gust of autumn wind, Wu Jiang felt that there were chills on his back.
Lu Lianshou narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man standing in front of him calmly.
"I'm new here, so I came here to visit." Lu Lianshou raised his hand slightly and put it on his waist. Lei Yishan took a step forward, blocking the sight of passers-by in the direction of the intersection.
The young man looked at Lu Lianshou's gesture and nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, come in with me first."
With that said, the young man took Lu Lianshou and three others and walked inside.
Lei Yishan and Wu Jiang looked at each other and followed closely.
After entering the house, the young man said nothing and just led Lu Lianshou and the three of them inside.
Lu Lianshou followed him step by step without squinting his eyes.
After walking for a long time, the young man finally stopped.
Lu Lianshou followed the chair pointed by the young man and sat down.
"Who are the three of you looking for?" the young man asked enthusiastically.
Lu Lianshou raised his eyes and glanced at the young man, but said nothing.
The young man was panicked by Lu Lianshou's sight. He knew in his heart that although he was good at martial arts, the man in front of him was far better than him.
Lu Lianshou said calmly: "You have the leader here."
As he spoke, Lu Lianshou made a "three and a half handfuls of incense" gesture with his palm placed on the armrest.
The young man was stunned for a moment: "Wait a moment."
Then the young man straightened up and looked towards the back of the huge martial arts arena.
Following his gaze, Lu Lianshou and the other three also discovered that the place where this young man took them was the arena that every martial arts gym has.
The arena at Dechang Martial Arts Gym looks extremely large, especially when you first enter. If you hadn't subconsciously observed the environment, you would have ignored the arena without the lights on.
At this moment, there was a person standing on the stage.
Wu Jiang recognized this man as the former arms dealer.
Lu Lianshou naturally remembered this person. He quietly squeezed the armrests of the chair, his fingers making a slight clicking sound due to the force.
Lei Yishan's ears were sharp and he heard the voice and stood up quickly: "I've met senior."
Lu Lianshou stared at the old man and realized that he had never seen this face in the Qinghong Club.
As a confidant of the old gang leader, he can recognize the names of every person in the Qinghong Society.
But in his memory, which had become a habit, the old man's face did not appear.
Lu Lianshou calmly released his hand that was tightly holding the armrest of the chair.
"Who are you?" The old man on the ring looked at Lei Yishan and asked.
"My father's execution hall, Thunder Tiger." Lei Yishan clasped his fists at the old man on the ring with great respect.
Lu Lianshou quickly stood up and stopped Lei Yishan: "You are not from the Qinghong Society, why do you use the gestures of the Qinghong Society?"
When Lu Lianshou said this, Lei Yishan and Wu Jiang were stunned.
But the two of them are just juniors in front of these two people. According to the rules, they have no right to speak.
The old man on the ring was slightly startled, and looked at Lu Lianshou with a somewhat probing look.
Lu Lianshou looked at him calmly, without any sense of being on someone else's home court.
Lei Yishan couldn't understand it for a while.
If this old man is not from the Qinghong Society, then he clearly used the street gestures of the Qinghong Society when he first entered the door. But at this time, Lu Lianshou said that he was not from the Qinghong Society.
So who is he?
The old man on the ring looked at Lu Lianshou: "May I ask your Excellency..."
Lu Lianshou shook his head: "It doesn't matter who I am, but I want to see you, the people of the Qinghong Society."
The old man on the ring did not answer Lu Lianshou directly, but looked down at him with a smile on his face: "You are joking, the Qinghong Club was disbanded many years ago. There is no Qinghong Club in Rongcheng now.
shadow."
Lu Lianshou narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man: "Then what does the gesture you just made mean?"
The old man took two steps forward, put his hands on the fence of the arena, and looked at the three of them with particularly deep eyes: "Are you following me?"
As soon as he said these words, Lu Lianshou clearly felt that the young man who had just brought him in tightened the muscles in his body and looked at Lu Lianshou warily.
