After Ma Jiang finished serving the food, he led Zhang Fan and the others into an antique private room.
"Mr. Zhang, this private room is specially set aside by me to entertain distinguished guests." Ma Jiang chuckled and said, "What do you want to eat? I will arrange it."
"Thank you, look at the special dishes from a few farmhouses." Zhang Fan said with a smile.
"Okay! I'll go make arrangements right away. There's still some things waiting for me to deal with outside. After that, I'll come over and entertain a few of you," Ma Jiang said.
After saying that, he was about to leave the private room.
About ten minutes later, the dishes were all served, and Ma Jiang came back, holding a bottle of Maotai in his hand.
"Mr. Zhang, I brought this specially for you from home." Ma Jiang said with a smile on his face.
"Boss Ma, you are too polite." Zhang Fan said.
"How can these things measure your kindness to our family?" Ma Jiang is very good at talking.
Zhang Fan did not continue on this topic. He was afraid that Ma Jiang would say something nicer. Ma Jiang was not embarrassed, but he was really a little embarrassed.
"Boss Ma, please sit down..." Zhang Fan said, taking the chair next to him.
After Ma Jiang sat down, he poured wine for Zhang Fan and the others.
"Boss Ma, you are going to make a fortune. In the next few years, your restaurant should be as prosperous as it is today. And, who knows, one day, this land in your hand will be used by someone."
A developer bought it at a high price." Huang Qingyun said with a smile.
"Thank you, brother, and I would like to extend my good words." Ma Jiang said with a smile.
After Ma Jiang sat down, Zhang Fan took the initiative to toast Ma Jiang with a glass of wine to express his gratitude for the warm hospitality.
After putting down his glass, Zhang Fan asked: "Boss Ma, do you know anything about the collapse of Jiguan Mountain?"
"I feel that the Jiguan Mountain turned into what it is now has something to do with three people." Ma Jiang replied, "However, I have not told anyone about this matter."
Hearing Ma Jiang's words, Zhang Fan and the other three were shocked at the same time and looked at each other.
Regarding the collapse of Jiguan Mountain, relevant departments have been investigating, but there has been no progress. Unexpectedly, Ma Jiang directly revealed the number of people involved.
"Boss Ma, who are these three people? What's the basis?" Huang Qingyun answered.
Ma Jiang took out his cell phone from his pocket, rummaged through it a few times, and handed the photo to Zhang Fan. Fang Haoming and Huang Qingyun also gathered around.
There are three people in the photo. The man in the middle is of medium build and wearing a black robe. His expression is very serious, and there is a sense of heroism between his eyebrows.
On his left is a young man in his 20s, and on his right is an old man in his 60s. Looking at their expressions, they are very respectful.
"Why does this old man look so familiar?" Zhang Fan frowned and murmured softly.
As soon as these words came out, Huang Qingyun and Fang Haoming also moved closer to the screen and carefully identified the old man.
"I've never seen it..." Huang Qingyun was the first to speak.
"I don't think I've seen him before, so I have no impression of him." Fang Haoming followed up.
"I remembered, it was him!" At this moment, Zhang Fan suddenly said.
Huang Qingyun and the others instantly looked at Zhang Fan.
"This old man is from Tianzong." Zhang Fan said solemnly.
"Tianzong?" Fang Haoming muttered with a frown.
road.
"Back then, I pretended to be from the Federation and participated in competitions between several major sects. Tianzong sent two people, one was He An who was participating in the competition, and the other companion was an old man named Cai." Zhang Fan said.
Before Zhang Fan finished speaking, Fang Haoming took it over, pointed at the old man in the photo and said, "Is he the old man named Cai?"
"That's right." Zhang Fan said, "Judging from their behavior, the middle-aged man in black robe has a higher status than Cai and the other young man. He is probably a senior member of the Tianzong."
"That should be the case." Huang Qingyun continued, "If the collapse of Jiguan Mountain is related to these three people, then it is related to Tianzong."
Zhang Fan glanced at Huang Qingyun, then turned his attention to Ma Jiang and asked, "This photo of yours seems to have been taken from a video recording device. Apart from this photo, are there any other clues in the video? They
Is there a conversation?”
"No more." Ma Jiang replied, "The camera that captured this scene is the camera installed at the entrance of the hotel. The location where the three of them are is at the edge of the camera's shooting range. They only stayed in this range.
For more than ten seconds, this photo is the clearest. During these ten seconds, there was no dialogue between them.
The reason why I say that the Jiguan Mountain incident is related to them is because of the time they appeared in the camera range.
They appeared in the camera footage at 5:30 a.m. the day before yesterday, and at 8 a.m. that day, news broke about the collapse of Jiguan Mountain.
My business was not doing well a few days ago and I never opened the door, so except for the three of them, there was no one else around here that day. It was just dawn at 5:30 in the morning. Who would come to this wilderness with nothing to do early in the morning?
ridge?"
"Your analysis makes sense." Zhang Fan looked at Ma Jiang and said.
If the collapse of Jiguan Mountain was really related to three people, why did Tianzong do this? Would He An know?
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan didn't hesitate and dialed He An's number directly.
In order to avoid Tianzong's pursuit, He An had hidden his name. The last time Zhang Fan met He An was in Xinjiang, but He An was still doing well at that time.
Before Zhang Fan and He Anlin parted ways, they left each other's contact information.
The call was quickly connected, and He An's voice came from the phone, "Hello...Mr. Zhang..."
"Lao He, is it convenient for you to talk now?" Zhang Fan asked bluntly.
"It's convenient. If you have anything to say, you can tell me." He An said.
"Didn't you come to Jiguan Mountain to win a treasure before? How much do you know about Jiguan Mountain?" Zhang Fan asked.
"When I came to Jiguan Mountain to seize the treasure, the superiors only told me one thing, which was to collect small jade pillars.
What they mean is that after using the small jade pillar to open the mechanism, the baby will naturally appear in front of me.
You were present when the trap was turned on, and you saw with your own eyes what happened after the trap was opened.
Because Uncle Cai was injured, we got nothing in the end. After returning to the sect, we reported the situation to the sect. We thought we would be punished, but the sect did not punish us. Finally, we inquired and found out that
The python skin that exudes a strong demonic aura is not the treasure that the sect asked us to find." He An replied, "However, I still don't know what the treasure that the sect asked us to find is. After that, I followed
Many people asked, but they didn't tell me the reason."
