(Thanks Benben for the stupid tip!) I didn't have a monthly pass yesterday, and my heart was bleeding! Everyone who has a vote votes for Muzi! ）

On the twentieth evening of the first lunar month, Da Xie Yan's deputy soldiers and horses made Feng Xun hurriedly return from Dengzhou. He was dressed in a silk robe dressed as a wealthy merchant, and the long white cloak hanging from his shoulders swayed with his hurried steps.

He rushed to Feng Zhang's study with a heavy face, drank a cup of hot tea in one go, and said with a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, there are rumors circulating in many places in Dengzhou City, all of which say that Uncle Feng and Wulang were not killed by the pirates in Zhendonghai at all, but Cui Yunqing was behind the scenes, and Li Jing personally led people to ambush and assassinate them. He wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, "We heard rumors on the docks at the beginning, and then we heard similar rumors in several restaurants and inns in the city. ”

It was like a cold hand suddenly choking Feng Zhang's heart, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Is there any evidence for these rumors? ”

In the past two days, there was a rumor that someone suddenly circulated on Da Xie Nan Island, saying that Shi Feng Yanqing, the former governor of Deng, did not die at the hands of pirates, but for another reason, saying that the person who killed Feng Yanqing was Li Jing. This sudden rumor made Feng Zhang very angry, Feng Yanqing is his cousin, he has died a long time ago, but now there are still people making a fuss about him, he feels that these rumors are spread by Wang Jin or Wang Jingwen behind his back, and the purpose must be to lure him to deal with Li Jing.

At first, he didn't want to pay attention to this rumor, but who knew that this rumor was getting more and more powerful, and within two days, the entire Da Xie Yan knew about it. Many people from the Feng clan on the island came to ask him if he knew about it. also faintly blamed him for not avenging Feng Yanqing. It was passed on to the later generations. It even led to another rumor. said that he was afraid of Li Jing's backers. Don't dare to offend Song Wen and Li Wei, as well as Cui Yunqing and Song Wei. also said that a few days ago, he personally sent tens of thousands of money to Li Jing.

With this rumor, Feng Zhang couldn't sit still anymore. On the one hand, he was looking for the person who spread the rumors, and on the other hand, he sent Feng Xun to Dengzhou to inquire about the situation in person.

"There is evidence!" Feng Xun said: "After I arrived in Dengzhou, I didn't reveal my identity, but pretended to be a merchant and temporarily stayed in an inconspicuous inn. But as soon as I checked in, someone threw a bag of stuff into my room. I opened it and looked at it, and there was a letter in it, all about the general suspicion of my uncle's death. The man also sent some evidence that they thought they had. Including the suppression tokens that do not coincide with the Zhendonghai earthquake killing order, as well as the armor-piercing arrows scattered at the scene. I've confirmed all these things, and they are not imitations, they should all be true. ”

Feng Zhang's face was angry, "Do you know who is spreading the rumors, and is this matter related to Wang Jin?" ”

"I'm afraid so." Feng Xun replied, "Although I haven't found conclusive evidence that the Wang family is spreading rumors, according to my observations, it can basically be determined that Wang Jingwen is secretly promoting this matter. Even if the source of the rumor was not spread by Wang Jingwu, this rumor can have such momentum in a short period of time. It is definitely related to Wang Jingwen's vigorous push. ”

"Damn old fellow!" Feng Zhang cursed loudly: "He himself has no eggs to retreat, but now he plans to let us rush forward for them?" Dalang. The last time the pirates attacked, we can basically confirm that it has something to do with Wang Jin. Why did Wang Jin suddenly retreat again? I heard that all the Wang family's businesses on Salmon Island were seized by Li Jing, but Wang Jin not only didn't let out a fart, but it is said that he also sent money to Li Jing, what agreement was reached, have you checked the specifics? We need to be careful, lest the damned thief sell us and count him in the money. ”

The Feng family talks about the family lineage, which is far above the Wang family. However, the Wang family has firmly grasped the military power of the Qingzhou Ya Army over the years, and they trembled suddenly. The Feng family also had to reach an alliance with him against the Cui and Han families, but in this way, many times they had to look at the Wang family's face and act.

Feng Xun said with an ugly face: "I bought several stewards and subordinates of the Wang family, and I did get a little information. It is said that a few days before the pirates attacked, Wang Jin's head Wang Fu suddenly left, and no one has seen him since. Wang Jin only told people that Wang Fu had returned to Qingzhou, but some people from the Wang family said that when Wang Fu left, he went to Dengzhou Wharf to take a boat to the sea. There are also many hidden businesses of the Wang family on Salmon Island, and it is not very clear what they are, but judging from the information I have received, the Wang family has a secret workshop on the island, which is likely to be an ordnance workshop. In the past, the Wang family had a lot of guards on Shamen Island, but I heard the news that one of the Wang family's sea boats suddenly capsized at sea, and more than 200 people on board died. ”

"Also, it is said that the day after the pirates attacked, Li Jing gave Wang Jin a gift, which was three very luxurious wooden boxes. After Wang Jin received this gift, it didn't take long for him to reach an agreement with Li Jing. I don't know the specific content of the agreement, but the Wang family returned to Shuicheng because of this, and not only did they no longer pursue Li Jing's copying and confiscation of their shops and warehouses on Shamen Island, but instead sent Li Jing several large ships of goods. It is said that the goods are worth 50,000 yuan. ”

"Are you saying that Wang Jin has a handle in Li Jing's hands?" Feng Zhang asked suddenly, "Could it be that the one-eyed Jiao was really recruited by Wang Jin sent by Wang Fu, and then Wang Fu also fell into Li Jing's hands, and Li Jing got what handle was very unfavorable to Wang Jin?" ”

"Is it really possible?" Feng Xun replied, "But I'm a little puzzled, if Li Jing really has such a handle, why not give it to Song Wen directly, or give it to Cui Yunqing, wouldn't it be better?" That wouldn't be able to clean up Wang Jin directly, after all, colluding with pirates to attack the official army is not a small crime. ”

Feng Zhang shook his head: "It's not that simple, even if Li Jing really does it now, it is estimated that Song Wen will not take Wang Jin well." Li Jing is a smart person, he must have seen this, so he didn't poke this thing out, but chose to make a deal with Wang Jin. Damn Li Jing, damn Wang Jin, why didn't they fight. ”

"What do we do now?"

Feng Zhang gritted his teeth and said: "Of course we can't let go of Li Jing, this kid is extremely arrogant, and he didn't take me seriously after he arrived on Shamen Island." If this goes on for a long time, in the future, he will have the final say, or I will have the final say. What's more, he is actually suspected of killing your uncle and the fifth child, if I don't report this hatred, then how will I face the family in the future? How to go back to the clan and face your aunt and them. ”

"But now that Wang Jin has retreated, aren't we falling for the tricks of the Wang family?"

"The bright ones can't work, we can still come to the dark ones." After saying this, Feng Zhang stopped speaking, he was waiting for Feng Xun to think for himself. Feng Xun is the eldest son of the younger generation of the Feng family, and he has always performed well. Compared with Feng Liang and Feng Ming, who only know how to fight bravely, Feng Xun obviously has no lack of courage, but also has a steady temperament. However, Feng Xun can't stand alone now, and he still lacks independent and self-conscious thinking. The Feng family intended to train Feng Xun to become the head of the next generation of the Feng family, so he was allowed to train in the army. Although there is the help of the Feng family, it is also inseparable from his efforts and ability. Looking at the young generation of the major families in Ziqing Town, there are many martial artists, but there are few who are brave and strategic.

After a long time, Feng Xun, who had been thinking hard, suddenly said: "When I was in Dengzhou, I overheard a news that there was a very mysterious batch of goods being loaded at the Dengzhou Wharf. It is said that there are 1,000 sets of ordnance, not only horizontal swords, spears, bows and other weapons, but also swords, heavy crossbows, iron armor and other good goods. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Feng Zhang couldn't help but be stunned. Salmon Island is under his jurisdiction, and he has been stuck with Li Jing's equipment, in order to prevent Li Jing from having a chance to develop and grow. Just now he heard that there might be an armory workshop in the Wang family that was given by Li Jing, and he was already very dissatisfied in his heart. If Li Jing suddenly got such a thousand sets of sophisticated equipment, then he could arm a thousand men and horses at any time, and the threat to him would be great.

"I also thought it was strange at the time, and after careful inquiry, I learned that the batch of ordnance was said to have been redressed for the Dengzhou Naval Division, but for some reason, Song Wen did not give this batch of equipment to Wang Jin, but sold it to Li Jing privately for 50,000 yuan. I heard that Li Jing had already paid the money, and now that the goods arrived, Song Wen immediately prepared to deliver the goods to Li Jing. ”

Feng Zhang's expression moved, and his hand stroked the short mustache under his chin, stunned.

After a long time, he slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "God really helps me, I am worried that I have no chance to deal with Li Jing, God immediately sent me such a good opportunity." Da Lang, do you know when the shipment will leave Hong Kong? ”

"As soon as the morning dawns tomorrow, the goods will go straight to Salmon Island, there is only one ship, no flag, and the appearance is just an ordinary merchant ship. It seems that Song Wen doesn't want others to know about this batch of goods. ”

Feng Zhang smiled smugly and clapped his hands, "Da Lang, you go and prepare immediately, bring a few boats and dozens of brothers, and remember not to let people recognize your identity." Early tomorrow morning, you will rush directly to the outside of Dengzhou Water City and wait, as soon as you see the boat appear, you will immediately rob the boat back for me. Remember, you have to work on the sailor's turf. ”

Feng Xun also laughed, "I understand, when the time comes, I will accidentally leave behind some items that should belong to the Dengzhou Mariner." ”

"Stop in moderation, don't make it too obvious, so that those who are interested will see through it at a glance."

"Zhilu said, my nephew will definitely live up to my uncle's expectations." (To be continued.) )
