Chapter 69 has a solution
Zhen Yu and Wei Bufan sat at the table in the inn, staring at each other.
Wei Bufan could no longer hold back, and spoke first: "Boss, isn't this amazing? I have been following Chen Guchuan. He entered the woods, and I followed him in. But he suddenly disappeared while walking, and I looked everywhere for him, but couldn't find him. When I returned to the original place, he had appeared, and he was with someone. His outfit of Bai Wuchang also scared me at the time, but the person tied to him showed that he was a human, not a ghost. Chen Guchuan seemed to be asking about something about the fan, and the man seemed to know nothing about it. Then the two of them disappeared on the spot, and after a while, they suddenly appeared again. Is this an invisibility technique?"
After Zhen Yu pondered for a moment, he said, "It seems that the cases of the two Bai Wuchang have been solved. The Bai Wuchang who pretended to be a ghost was Chen Guchuan; the other Bai Wuchang was killed by Qiao Zien. I have never seen his knife, but the wound left by the knife is the same as Bai Wuchang's!"
"That's right, boss. What about the lost property?" Wei Bufan asked puzzledly.
"We have to continue investigating. It's not enough to just guess. We have to provide real evidence! Invisibility, illusion, and telekinesis are just legends. They are magic. He is not a god. Besides, where are there gods and ghosts?" Zhen Yu frowned and sighed.
At midnight, in the government prison.
Zhen Yu sat on the chair, and Wei Bufan took a piece of wet rice paper and pasted it on the face of one of the assassins, one after another, until the man couldn't breathe and was about to suffocate. The man grabbed the handle of the chair and struggled desperately...
Wei Bufan took the rice paper away, and the man greedily breathed in the fresh air, no, it should be the polluted air, which was the source of his life. After a few breaths, he spoke: "Sir, please give me a quick death! I will tell you everything I know!"
Zhen Yu was playing with his jade flute in his hand with a sarcastic and smug smile on his face.
Wei Bufan looked cynical: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Why do you have to suffer this? Tell me, who are you? Why do you want to assassinate Chen Guchuan? What about the fan? If you tell a lie, I will make you wish you were dead." Wei Bufan took a dagger and cut off a piece of flesh from the man.
"Ah... I said... we are killers trained by Yang Song. We only obey his orders. We don't know who he obeys! Yang Song is the one who wants to kill Bai Wuchang!" the man said in pain.
Wei Bufan took another piece of wet rice paper, and the man said in fear, "Wait, and there is another thing. Today, Commander Yang took a few of us to the western suburbs to pick up an important person in the woods. We didn't pick him up, but we heard voices, so we went to see if we were found. Unexpectedly, it was Lao Liu who had been missing for more than two months. In order to save Lao Liu, several of us were seriously injured, and Lao Liu was beaten to death with a hidden weapon, wuwuwu..."
Wei Bufan asked again: "Tell me about the fan!"
"Sir, I also overheard it. A few days ago, Commander Yang was talking to a man in blue. The man mentioned the secret of the fan, but he didn't say what the secret was. Commander Yang called the man master. I think he is our boss."
The man in black couldn't say anything more because the information was not enough!
Wei Bufan interrogated all the assassins, but they didn't know as much as this guy!
Zhen Yu said: "It seems that they were going to welcome some important person, but he didn't come. They happened to meet Chen Guchuan. Chen Guchuan and the escaped Yang Song both knew about the fan. The fan is the key. What kind of fan? Fan! Yang Song, Yang..."
Zhen Yu stood up suddenly, scaring Wei Bufan.
Zhen Yu was startled and said, "Commander Yang, could it be that he is a remnant of the previous dynasty? Is the fan related to the treasure map?"
Wei Bufan was also surprised when he heard this.
"Boss, didn't we hear that the remnants of the previous dynasty were hiding in southern Xinjiang? How did they come to Pingyang City? It's only two cities away from the capital! Wouldn't the capital be in turmoil?"
Zhen Yu pondered, "The riots of the victims in Qingyang Prefecture were probably instigated by the remnants of the previous dynasty. They have grown stronger and are planning a rebellion!"
"This is unacceptable! We must completely eliminate them!"
"It's too late. Maybe it has become a big deal! We must first find Yang Song, catch the man in green, and find the fan!" Zhen Yu said softly while stroking the jade flute.
Inside the North Street Siheyuan
Yang Song and five slightly injured killers sat on the floor of the hall to rest and bandage their wounds.
After everything was settled, Yang Song came to the backyard, knocked on the door and entered a room, kneeling on the ground: "Master, the person who was supposed to pick me up didn't come, and I accidentally found Chen Guchuan interrogating Lao Liu. I wanted to kill him, but was saved by Qiao Zien. Qiao Zien used a particularly powerful hidden weapon, I don't know what it was, to shoot Lao Liu. Six brothers were seriously injured in this operation and were taken away by the government!"
The man in blue clothes was so angry that he was spinning on the ground, holding his head with his hands: "Yang Song, ah Yang Song, you are in trouble! I told you that impatience will ruin your big plans, but you just didn't listen. Can the people who were captured be trusted? Don't reveal the secrets here!"
Yang Song comforted him: "Master, don't worry, they are reliable. They don't know anything and only know to obey my orders!"
"To make sure everything is safe, we have to leave here immediately. This place is no longer safe. We have to find a safe place."
In fact, the man in green wanted to kill Yang Song, a fool who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. But if he was killed, who would work for him? He would no longer have anyone to use.
In a large house with five entrances on South Street
Mr. Wan was drinking tea and chatting with Hong Xianzhi.
Mr. Wan looked at Hong Xianzhi kindly and said, "Nephew Hong Xian, are you having a good time living in your uncle's house?"
Hong Xianzhi stood up quickly, bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wan, for taking good care of my nephew's daily life!"
"Hey, nephew, you're welcome. Just tell me if you need anything!"
"My nephew would like to borrow Uncle Wan's connections. Is that possible?"
"Oh? Who do you want to use?"
"People from the northern border!"
"My dear nephew, you are joking. The people of Northern Frontier are the enemies of our Liang Dynasty. How could I know the people of Northern Frontier?"
"Uncle Wan, you misunderstood. The people from Northern Xinjiang that my nephew was talking about are people from Daliang who often do business near Northern Xinjiang. As far as I know, merchants who often go in and out of Northern Xinjiang have been to the Snow Mountain. I want to go to the Snow Mountain to look for things myself, so I have to find a guide who knows about the Snow Mountain."
"That's easy. In ten days, there will be a group of merchants from the northern border. You can just follow the caravan then."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Wan! I'm sorry for bothering you these days!"
"What are you talking about? Just treat this place as your home. If there's anything wrong, just tell me. Everything will be arranged for you!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Hong Xianzhi has stayed in the mansion of the wealthy Wan for more than a month. He was studying the secret of the fan. Finally, he figured it out. The snow mountain painted on the fan is the place where the treasure is hidden. The fan is a treasure map, and the crescent-shaped pendant is the key to the door to the treasure. The snow mountain is so big and dangerous that it is unpredictable. He must find a good guide who knows the snow mountain and takes his treasure hunting team into the snow mountain to dig for treasure.
