The next day, the sky was a little dark, there was no sun and no rain, revealing a trace of abnormality; Bianliang City was already surging with undercurrents, and Nanbeixing and Cai Wenrou's shops were the first to purchase in the market, which caught both the tooth and the cargo owner off guard. In particular, seeing the people from the Left-behind Division, the Transshipment Division, the Salt Tea Division, and some of the officers' family members starting to act, most of the people who were watching in secret understood that the rumors were true. Some people are happy, some people are worried, the Dingbei Army is about to leave, and a new scene is about to be staged, but no one can be sure whether it is a tragedy or a comedy.

Yang Zhi and the others had already arrived at the Xinghuagang outside the city, through the sparse woods, and came to a manor hidden in the mountains, which was once a lively manor, although dilapidated, the buildings still maintained a magnificent shadow. I don't know if it's because of the war or what's the reason, it's now uninhabited, just like many manors around Bianliang, the owner doesn't know where to go, the neighbors won't come in at will, only the occasional small animal and bird cry will show that there is still life here.

Yang Zhi went to see his and Zhao Yingluo's fields, if it weren't for the people from the Great Xiangguo Temple and the Shenxiao Sect, it would have been barren like this. Today is not to come to the suburbs to enjoy the scenery, Shen Chong and Shi Mojie screened a lot of clues, and finally locked in this manor, there is only one reason, that is, podocarpus from Fusang. There is no shortage of connoisseurs of flowers and trees in Bianliang City, and it is determined that only the imperial palace and the Ren family manor have this kind of podocarpus.

The Luo Han pine in the palace was unexpectedly all destroyed, making it impossible to trace whether it was removed from the palace, which increased the suspicion of Yang Zhi and others; judging from the data, the previous generation of the Ren family was an imperial merchant who provided medicinal materials to Ouchi, and the son of the Ren family went out to study for decades in this generation, and there was no successor, so the business naturally could not be maintained; the Ren family gradually faded out of the public's sight, and Li Zheng's information proved that the son of the Ren family lived in the manor when he came back, and lived in a simple house.

A rich second generation living in such a desolate place is not an ordinary mood, the Ren family has not done business for nearly 20 years, what does this young master rely on to live; Yang Zhi's interest has increased greatly, he doesn't care about disturbing the people, and he personally brought a large number of masters and iron horsemen to come and surround the manor. Two officials rushed up to call the door, and Li Zheng walked in tremblingly; Li Zheng didn't know if it was because he was running all the way, or if he was scared in his heart, he was a big man with a big head.

The people in the manor did not run, but followed Li Zheng out very quietly, a total of five people, the owner of the village in his forties always had a smile in the corner of his eyes, and looked uninhibited; the other two men and two women were only about twenty years old, and both men were handsome people, but one was masculine and a little fresh meat. The two women are much more complicated, one is Tong Guan's granddaughter Jiaoxiu, and the other is wearing men's clothes, which makes it impossible to see the calendar. Yang Zhi and the others were sure at first glance that except for Tong Jiaoxiu, the other four people were all characters on the rivers and lakes, and their skills would not be bad.

Shi Mojie looked at the four of them, and suddenly asked: "There was once a combination on the rivers and lakes, famous for the seven-star sword formation, and later the seven people were killed six people when facing the great thief Xuanyuan Liang, and the only one left was the most outstanding sword of the Seven Swords, which shocked the heavens and stabbed Xuanyuan Liang to death. ”

The owner smiled lazily and said, "Lord Shi is really sharp-eyed, and I am Ren Buyong." Lord Yang came in person, it wouldn't be just to see the decline of the Ren family. ”

Yang Zhi's gaze fell on Tong Jiaoxiu's body: "Miss Tong has never left Bianliang?"

Tong Jiaoxiu is Tong Guan's niece and granddaughter, and at the beginning, he and Yu Hou Dong Dalang framed Li Jinyi for molesting Tong Jiaoxiu, but he didn't expect Li Jinyi to deny this pot, and even rejected Tong Guan's proposal; it was Yang Zhi, who had just arrived in Gutongyuan, who helped Li Jinyi clear up the case, and Li Jinyi gradually befriended Yang Zhi and Zhao Kai, and finally followed Zhao Kai. Tong Jiaoxiu looked at Yang Zhi and said: "Tong's family is an ordinary people's home, where to run." ”

Facing Yang Zhi, Tong Jiaoxiu's momentum did not decrease, and the four of Ren Buyong did not have any panicked expressions, as if it should have been like this, Ao De behind Yang Zhi smiled slightly, stepped forward and said: "Miss Tong, you and Ren Zhuang are old lovers, in Tong's Mansion, the little monk has seen the heroic appearance of Ren Zhuang many times, but sometimes he pretends to be a servant, and sometimes he pretends to be a scholar. It's just that the little monk is not very familiar with the heroes of the Central Plains, and he has missed it many times. ”

Ao De's words were humble, and he had actually pointed out the reason why Tong Jiaoxiu stayed in the Ren family's manor, this reason was that Yang Zhi and the others couldn't guess it, but it was a pity that the creation made people; Ren Buyong walked to Tong Jiaoxiu's side, there was no smile on his face, and asked coldly: "Lord Yang, who are you looking for?"

Yang Zhi said lightly: "I heard that there is a podocarpus from Fusang in the manor, I just came to see what variety it is?"

Ren Buyong's face suddenly became very ugly, and his hostility was undisguised: "Lord Yang, Luo Hansong is the private property of my Ren family, I don't want to show it to you, please go back." ”

Shi Mojie saw everything in his eyes, laughed and said: "Ren Buyong, do you say anything about this matter, Fusang Luohan Pine is a clue to a case, what if you look at it? The government has documents, and you must read them today." ”

Ren Buyong took a breath, regained his composure and said: "The podocarpus from Fusang was stolen more than ten years ago, and the podocarpus in the manor now is only grown by our own cuttings, and the number of years is only twenty years. ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said, "How does the owner of Ren know that we are looking for podocarpus more than 20 years ago?"

Ren Buyong was stunned for a moment, and immediately found that he had revealed a flaw that he shouldn't have, shook his head and smiled: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, Lord Yang, since you use the power of the government to oppress people, it will damage your reputation if you spread it, otherwise, you will win the sword in my hand." ”

Yang Zhi nodded calmly and said: "The world is as black as a crow, and the people who sit in this position, no matter what their ideals are, think about the same issues most of the time, and they will not be able to make too many choices, as for reputation, no one can take care of it." I won't compete with you, the Seven-Star Sword Formation doesn't have much reputation, and now you're the only one left, even if I win you, how good can my reputation be. ”

With Yang Zhi's status in the rivers and lakes today, it is by no means comparable to a person like Ren Buyong, whether in terms of cherishing his own feathers or being challenging, it is reasonable for Yang Zhi not to fight. Ren Buyong was not easy to talk for a while, but the two young people had already made a move at the first time. They naturally knew that the masters around Yang Zhi were like clouds, and as soon as they made a move, the sky fell apart, one was the Heavenly Master Dao's Demon Subduing Sword Technique, and the other was the long-lost Western Regions Thunder Yin Palm on the rivers and lakes.
