Chapter 100 The Misty Forest

Over the past few days, Lu Chengfeng has been surrounded by many doubts.

I think about it day and night, but I keep cutting and sorting it out and it gets messy.

That night, Lu Chengfeng had a long dream:

He dreamed that he was in a misty forest, and the mist was so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

There seemed to be spots of light shining in the distance. He ran towards the sun desperately, but he could not see the end of the forest.

This forest seemed endless and deserted, and he was disoriented in it, unable to find his way.

However, the strange thing is that he always feels that there is a cold gaze shooting at him from behind, following him like a shadow...

On such a cold winter morning, Lu Chengfeng woke up sweating profusely!

That terrible nightmare was like experiencing a ghost on the bed!

"Your Highness! Your Highness! You're awake! Did you have a nightmare?"

Niu Sanbao came up to meet him and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Lu Chengfeng didn't look well after he woke up, and he didn't recover from the nightmare for a long time.

Seeing this, Niu Sanbao hurriedly handed over a cup of hot tea and said softly:

"Your Highness, someone just came to report that Wei Laoqi is awake!"

When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he jumped out of bed as soon as he lifted the quilt, as if someone had suddenly given him a shot of cardiotonic. He beamed with joy and said:

"When did you wake up? Take me to see you quickly!"

Shao Qing had already arrived at the guest room where Wei Lao Qi was staying.

I saw Wei Laoqi lying on the hospital bed, his face and lips still pale, his eyes closed to rest, looking like he was dying.

He was disembowelled, and it was a great blessing to be able to save his life.

In the past few days, Lu Chengfeng had sent famous doctors to treat him, and also asked the palace officials to keep an eye on him, lest anything unexpected happen to him. Only then was he lucky enough to pull him back from the hell gate.

"Wei Laoqi, you finally woke up!" Lu Chengfeng hurriedly came forward to visit. As he spoke, he gestured with his hands and stepped back to the left and right.

Wei Laoqi tried his best to get up and say thank you, but he couldn't get up no matter what, he was so weak and weak!

"Forget it, you're free of charge! Just lie down, you've been lying there for three days and three nights! How about it, everyone in my house takes good care of you, right?"

Lu Chengfeng patted his struggling arm and said with a smile.

Wei Laoqi had no choice but to keep lying down, with tears in his eyes, and expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life! From now on, my life, Wei Laoqi, belongs to Your Highness!"

After saying that, he hugged Lu Chengfeng again to express his gratitude.

"No gifts, no gifts, you see your body is still weak! Take good care of it first! By the way, what happened that day? Why were you suddenly chased by so many people from the helm? Also, what happened to you that day?

You mean, Mr. Fan is dead?"

Lu Chengfeng knew in his mind that this matter must be related to the fake grains from the Caogang that he and the two discovered that day.

However, he vaguely remembered that that day he, Wu Jingmo, and Tian Zifang retreated first, but Wei Laoqi insisted on staying and persuaded Mr. Fan to leave with him.

He remembered that Mr. Na Fan and Wei Laoqi had already made peace with each other at that time. In addition, the two were old friends from the same hometown. It was absolutely impossible for Mr. Fan to suddenly ask someone to arrest him if his life was not in danger!

Moreover, if Mr. Na Fan attracted the person, why did he himself die first?

"Mr. Fan, he... alas... it's all my fault! He was dragged to death by me!"

When Wei Laoqi mentioned his late friend, he became even more excited and cried heartbrokenly.

"Don't get excited, or you may open the wound again!"

Lu Chengfeng quickly comforted him. After seeing that his mood had calmed down a little, he continued to ask:

"What is the identity of the fourth brother who led people to hunt you down that day in the Cao Gang? Are they chasing you because of the fake Cao grain you said that day?"

"Your Highness Mingjian! That's right! That fourth brother is the old steward of the Cao Gang. That night, when they saw what happened was exposed, they wanted to kill people and silence me! They also framed me as a traitor! Using that high-sounding excuse, they said

Clear the door!”

Wei Laoqi choked with sobs. He paused for a moment, then spoke one by one and said:

"It's all my fault for being careless. I found out that the scale was wrong that day, so I came to the chief helmsman to investigate secretly. As soon as I met Mr. Fan that night, I loudly questioned him and asked him if he knew anything about it and why! The chief helmsman was about to hold a ceremony for the river god that day.

, there are so many people with mixed eyes, someone must have heard it, and secretly reported my complaint, which aroused their evil intentions!"

While Wei Laoqi was talking, he actually slapped himself in the face and cursed to himself while doing so:

"I told you to talk loudly! I told you not to listen to Mr. Fan's advice! If I hadn't questioned him in public, how could the chief helm have eradicated both me and him who knew about it? I was the one who harmed him!"

Before he finished speaking, he started sobbing again.

"Do you know who ordered the killing of you two? Is it Ma Rulong? Otherwise, how could anyone summon Lao Guan?"

Lu Chengfeng grabbed a hint of a breakthrough and asked closely.

"As the chief helmsman of our Cao Gang, there are only two people who can be summoned to touch the old steward, and that is the eldest master and the second master!"

Wei Laoqi replied angrily without thinking.

"Then we can only help

Leader Ma Rulong and deputy gang leader Yuan Xiaohai!"

Lu Chengfeng slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

Then I thought about it, but it was wrong. It was Ma Rulong who chased me from behind that night and asked the old man, the fourth brother, to let me go. Otherwise, all four of them would have gone away that night and never returned!

Could it be that Ma Rulong deliberately pretended to be friendly, doing one thing in front of him and another behind his back?

Or, is it more likely to be the more mysterious deputy gang leader Yuan Xiaohai?

Yes! Mr. Na Fan once said that the second master was also a regular customer of Xue Wu, but later because the first master fell in love with her, everyone in their Cao Gang did not have the opportunity to kiss Fangze!

So, could the person behind Xue Wu be this Yuan Xiaohai?

In addition, is it possible that there is a secret rift between the two masters because of women? Therefore, they are trying to undermine each other? The second master sent people to hunt him down, but the first master withdrew his troops?

The more Lu Chengfeng thought about it, the more certain he was about his inference. He wished he could go to Jingzhao Mansion immediately to discuss it with Wu Jingmo and Tian Zifang!

But Wei Laoqi seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses, and added something:

"Oh, by the way, there are three other old stewards who can also call him. In addition to the eldest boss and the second boss, our Cao Gang's chief helmsman is the oldest of the four old stewards! The fourth brother ranks fourth among the old stewards.

, that’s why we all call him Fourth Brother.”

"There are actually three people who can give orders? Who are the names of those three people? Is there anyone else? Think about it clearly and finish it at once!"

Lu Chengfeng's scope of suspects suddenly expanded again, and he suddenly turned from excitement to depression, and asked hurriedly.

"Dayong, Erhei, Sanye and Sixi. We who are in the gangs don't know our original names. We only know that we call them eldest brother, second brother and so on. In our gang, eldest brother has the oldest qualifications and the highest prestige. Second brother

Next, in this order.”

Wei Laoqi blurted out and answered decisively.

Ting Lu Chengfeng asked him to answer carefully, so he thought about it carefully, shook his head and said:

"Others? That's really all gone! We, the chief rudder of the Cao Gang, only have these four old supervisors, but there are a lot of junior supervisors below."

"Who on earth wanted to kill you! By the way, did Mr. Fan say anything before he died?"

Lu Chengfeng asked.

The witness is dead. I hope he can reveal any clues about Jiang’s murder case and the fake grain supply incident before he dies!

Wei Laoqi burst into tears again and said:
Chapter completed!
