As soon as Mou Rongtian left Fusi, Beizhen, he was followed by someone. The man was very good at qinggong, and Mou Rongtian didn't notice at all. The man followed Mou Rongtian out of the city, followed him at a distance, and followed him for more than ten miles. At this time, he started to speed up.
His speed was much faster than Mou Rongtian's horse, and he caught up in the blink of an eye.
The man wore a ring on the middle finger of his right hand. The ring had a half-inch-long spike on one side of the back of the finger. He jumped behind Mou Rongtian, waved the ring in the air, and used the spikes to cut open the bundle that wrapped the brocade box.
With lightning speed, he reached into the baggage, grabbed the brocade box, flipped upside down, and landed on the ground.
When Mou Rongtian realized that the brocade box had been taken away, he was trembling with fright. He quickly turned around and saw a masked man of medium build wearing a short jacket standing five or six feet behind him, holding the brocade box towards him.
He waved, meaning: "I brought the stuff, but you kid can't do it." Then he ran towards the west.
Mou Rongtian shouted, "Give me back the brocade box!" He reined in his mount, turned the horse's head, and chased the masked man. The masked man was too fast, and Mou Rongtian couldn't catch up. In just a moment, the masked man
The person disappeared from Mou Rongtian's sight.
Mou Rongtian was extremely upset. It didn't matter if the brocade box was lost, but he couldn't afford to throw away the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" contained in the brocade box. He couldn't explain the loss of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
Mou Rongtian was so angry that he had no way to vent his anger. He hit the horse on the head with his iron fist. The horse was in bad luck and became Mou Rongtian's punching bag. His brains burst after being beaten. He grabbed forward and fell to the ground. Mou Rongtian fell from the horse.
He came down, climbed up, stamped his feet anxiously, and said to himself: "What can I do?" I thought: "It would be great if the swallow is here, that guy will never be able to run away."
Luo Sigong was sitting in the office. When he saw Mou Rongtian walking in frustrated, he asked: "Rongtian, you haven't left yet?"
Mou Rongtian said dejectedly: "The official has left and is back again."
Luo Sigong understood in his heart that the people he sent had succeeded, so he asked knowingly: "Why are you back again?"
Mou Rongtian lowered his head and said in shame: "This official is incompetent, and "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was snatched away."
Luo Sigong shouted: "What did you say? "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was snatched away? Rongtian, what did you do? That picture is the Queen Mother's favorite thing. The Queen Mother regards it as a treasure, how can it be lost? How can you lose it?
Why don't you be more careful? Let me tell you what to do."
Mou Rongtian lowered his head and said: "The lower official is aware of the crime, and the lower official is allowed to let the master do what he wants."
Luo Sigong asked: "Who snatched that picture?"
Mou Rongtian said: "The man's face is covered, and the subordinates don't know who he is."
Luo Sigong said: "Rongtian, you have caused a big disaster. I'm afraid the Queen Mother will not let you go lightly. You have to be mentally prepared. I will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother now. I hope the Queen Mother will treat you lightly."
You go back and listen to the news."
When Mou Rongtian returned to the Fusi office in Beizhen, Dong Fuyu said, "Rongtian, why are you back again?"
Mou Rongtian sighed and said, "The things were taken away."
Dong Fuyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Haha, you are in bad luck this time." He was gloating in his heart, but did not show it on his face, and advised: "The matter has come to this, Rongtian, don't do it either.
I'm getting angry." Xia Zhixi also comforted her.
Can Mou Rongtian not get angry? He sat on a chair with his head drooped, waiting for the Queen Mother's judgment.
About half an hour later, Luo Sigong called Mou Rongtian over and said: "Rongtian, the Queen Mother is furious. If I hadn't repeatedly begged you, your life would have been lost. Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided. The Queen Mother wants me to kill you."
Lock him up, I have already said hello to Nanzhen Fusi, you can go there by yourself, you will stay there for a few days, and when the Queen Mother calms down, I will go and intercede for you."
Mou Rongtian thanked Luo Sigong, came to Nanzhen Fusi, and was imprisoned. Nanzhen Fusi did not give him any torture tools, and even the tiger-head knife was not taken away.
The cell is spacious, bright, clean and tidy, with a small fire bed and brand-new bedding. There are tables, chairs, and candlesticks in the room.
The food provided to him was also quite good, including fish, meat, wine, fruits, snacks, and good tea. The standard was higher than that of the Jinyiwei canteen. Mou Rongtian did not suffer any penalty when he stayed there, but he just had no freedom.
.
A few days later, Luo Sigong went to Nanzhen Fusi to see him and said that the Queen Mother had not calmed down yet, so she asked him to stay aggrieved for a while and advised him not to get angry and to relax.
Shi Yi and Shan Sibei returned to Zhenwu Temple in Wudang Mountain. As soon as they entered the mountain gate, they met Sun Yunhe, the "Jade Faced Man". Shi Yi asked: "Brother Sun, how is my master's illness?"
Sun Yunhe was startled and said, "Is the fifth uncle sick? Why didn't I know?"
Shi Yi thought to himself: "This is wrong. If the master is seriously ill, it is impossible for Senior Brother Sun not to know. What is going on?" He hurriedly ran to Shan Sinan's bedroom to take a look.
Shan Sinan was meditating on the kang. When he saw his apprentice and younger brother walking in, he smiled and said, "Why are you two back?"
Shi Yi said: "Master, are you not sick?"
Shan Sinan said: "Are you just sick? You brat, why did you get into trouble as a teacher as soon as you came back and don't expect to be a good teacher? You are really like a crow."
Shi Yi said: "Uncle Sibei said that you were seriously ill, so we rushed back day and night without stopping." He turned to Shan Sibei and said, "Uncle Sibei, what on earth is going on?"
Shan Sinan said: "Sibei, what are you doing? I'm fine, why am I seriously ill?"
Shan Sibei said: "A few days ago, I met Wang Dazui. This guy said that you were seriously ill, so I believed him. Damn Wang Dazui, I let this guy lie to you."
Shan Sinan smiled and said: "Wang Dazui is famous for his talk. Not one of the ten sentences he said is true. You believe his lies. You are really brainless."
Shan Sibei said: "How could I have imagined that this guy would even dare to lie to me? I can't forgive him."
Shi Yi only stayed in the temple for one night and then bid farewell to Shan Sinan. Shan Sinan had no children and treated Shi Yi as his disciple. He was reluctant to leave and said, "It's hard for you to come back."
, why are you leaving before your butt is even hot?"
Shi Yi smiled and said: "Master, I have an important case at hand to handle, so I can't delay it."
Shan Sinan was unable to force him to stay, so he sent Shi Yi and Shan Sibei out of the viewing room and watched them go away.
Shi Yi returned to Fusi, Beizhen. Dong Fuyu saw that he was back and asked: "Yanzi, you are back so soon? How is the condition of the fifth uncle?"
Shi Yi said: "Hey, don't mention it. Uncle Sibei was deceived by Wang Dazui. My master is not sick at all. It was a false alarm."
Dong Fuyu scolded: "His damn big mouth really deserves a beating. If I were to meet him, I would have to tear up his foul mouth."
Shi Yi said: "Who says otherwise? Wang Dazui is a bastard, and I can't spare him." He didn't see Mou Rongtian and asked: "Where's Brother Tian, have you gone to investigate the case?"
Xia Zhixi said: "Why, you don't know yet? Something happened to Rongtian."
Shi Yi was startled and asked, "What happened to Brother Tian?"
Dong Fuyu said: "The Queen Mother gave "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to King Lu. Lord Luo asked Rongtian to give it to him. Rongtian lost the picture and was imprisoned in Nanzhen Fusi. He was imprisoned for more than ten days.
Already."
Shi Yi shouted: "Isn't it just a broken picture? What's the big deal? As for locking up Brother Tim?"
Dong Fuyu said: "You put it lightly. That "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is priceless. It is a blessing that the Queen Mother did not take Rongtian's life."
Shi Yi said: "That broken picture is so valuable? Who snatched it away?"
Dong Fuyu said: "A masked man, Rongtian doesn't even know who he is?"
Shi Yi said: "This is terrible. We don't even know who the other party is. Where can we find him? Brother Tim is in big trouble this time." He walked out.
Dong Fuyu said: "Where are you going?"
Shi Yi said: "Go to Nanzhen Fusi to see Brother Tian."
In Nanzhen Fusi's cell, Mou Rongtian saw Shi Yi appearing in front of him and said, "Yanzi, you are back. How is Shan Wuye's illness?"
The cell leader opened the padlock and Shi Yi walked in and said, "My master is not sick at all. Master Sibei was deceived, which caused me to have a false alarm."
Mou Rong added: "Master Shan Wu is not sick?" He thought about it and understood immediately, and thought to himself: "Is this a trap set by Mr. Luo and is he deliberately trying to harm me?"
Shi Yi said: "Brother Tim, you have suffered."
Mou Rongtian said: "It's nothing. Now I can't investigate that case anymore, so I'll leave the case to you."
Shi Yi said: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the case."
Mou Rongtian said: "Go and check if there are any survivors at the Dalai Lai Bank. If you can find survivors, this case will be easier to handle."
After Shi Yi left, Mou Rongtian sat in a chair and pondered, thinking: "This must be Master Luo's work. He wants to stop me from investigating this case. Master Luo, what you are doing is really despicable."
Shi Yi visited the area near Dalai Bank and asked several shops, but found nothing. Then he walked into a teahouse. When the shopkeeper saw Jin Yiwei, he didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly came over to greet him. Shi Yi didn't sit down and asked: "
Second brother, may I ask you something?"
The waiter asked: "What's the matter?"
Shi Yi said: "Something happened to the Dalai Bank, did you know?"
The waiter said: "How can you not know? I heard that more than twenty people died. It's really tragic. I don't know who I offended to commit such a murderous attack."
Shi Yi said: "Are all the people from Dali Yinhao dead? Are there any alive?"
The waiter said: "There are some alive, but not all dead."
Shi Yi felt happy and asked quickly: "Who is still alive?"
The waiter said: "There is a man named Feng. What is his name? I don't know very well. He is from Dalai Bank. He was here a few days ago. Our shopkeeper is quite familiar with him."
Bankers are mainly responsible for soliciting business from outside, contacting deposits, and lending. They are the intermediary between the bank and customers for lending and borrowing. Sometimes they are also responsible for credit investigations, such as asking whether the customer's net worth is reliable, whether the business is developed, whether the property is substantial, etc.
Shi Yi said: "Call your shopkeeper over."
The shopkeeper called for the shopkeeper, who asked, "My lord, what are your orders?"
Shi Yi said: "I heard from the second brother that you know a man named Feng from Dalai Bank. What is his name Feng and where does he live?"
The shopkeeper said: "His name is Feng Yuan, and he lives at No. 13 Maoyan Hutong, west of the outer city."
Shi Yi said "Thank you!" After leaving the teahouse, he came to Maoyan Hutong and found the Feng family. He saw that the courtyard door was open and a funeral was being held in the house. He thought to himself: "Could it be that Feng Yuan died?" Xiang
When the Feng family inquired about it, they found out that the deceased was Feng Yuan.
