Seeing that the old man had a kind heart, but was actually involved with a special agent, Ru Feng wanted to understand the reason why and also understand those special agents. Ru Feng said: ”Thank you, Old Benefactor, for staying the night! Are you the owner of this place? ” The old man said, ”The house is mine. I rent it out to Boss Du. He opened this shop. Yesterday was fine. I don't know why, but today someone came to find me and ask me to take care of it for them. Since they have matters to attend to, they shall leave. ”
Ru Feng then asked, ”How many people does old benefactor's family have?” When the old man heard this, he sighed and said, ”This old man is unfilial. He has been born with sin in his previous life and has never had children in his entire life. My wife died last year. I'm left alone now, living on rent. The size of this house is something left behind by our ancestors. In my generation, your luck is not bad, and you don't have enough incense to burn. No one lives in the empty rooms, so you're only renting out. ”
Ru Feng asked again: ”Who is Boss Du?” The old man said, ”I don't know much about Boss Du. The one who rented the house was the government's famous Elder Duan Zhizhi. Boss Du was a good friend of his. ”I'll ask Duan Zhi for the rent.” Ru Feng knew that the Duan Zhi he was talking about was Duan Qirui. Ru Feng thought: ”It's not that strange, Duan Qirui is selling out the country, as expected, it's not fake. He had set up such a strong nest for the agent. Yuan Shikai does not have many people who do not sell out their country. ”
Ru Feng asked again, ”Is his business doing well? How many are there in total? ” The old man said, ”Business is not bad. The cargo came from Tianjin and was pulled down in January. Boss Du had earned money. There are a few young ladies that he has brought to his side, they are all very pretty. ” The old man coughed a few times and then chuckled: ”Everyone is like this, once you have money, you can marry your third and fourth concubine.”
Ru Feng asked again: How many people are in this shop? The old man said, ”In terms of proper men, they are all young and strong. There are a total of twenty or so of them. There were a lot of people who often came to help. Sometimes there are more than forty men and women. I wonder where Boss Du paid for it. ” Ru Feng asked again: ”What did they do when it was dark?” The old man said, ”They asked me to come over during the day. They left together when it was dark. As I left, they hurried off, one by one, and I didn't ask. And they all left with their defensive swords and sabers. ”
Ru Feng stood up and said: ”my humble self thanks old benefactor for his pointers. Now I'm rested. ”The moon is already high outside. I still need to get going, so I won't disturb you any longer.”
The old man scolded, ”You monk, you don't know what's good for you. If you want to live here, you don't need money, but you want to leave. How good is it to leave at dawn? ”
Ru Feng continued, ”This my humble self appreciates old Benefactor's kind intentions in urging us to stay. Since I have matters to attend to, I must hurry on my way. ” The old man said, ”Ah, so that's how it is. ”Then take care.” He also talked about the way to Wo Fu Temple.
Ru Feng bowed to him, then said goodbye and left the room. The old man walked to the door. Ru Feng said again, ”Old Benefactor, please stop. I came in through the wall and I went out through the wall and you don't have to close the door. Go back to your room and rest. ”
The old man nodded and said, ”Alright, alright, alright. I'm a monk with high martial arts skills.” ”This will save me time and trouble.” Ru Feng turned around and walked towards the eastern wall. The old man even praised, ”This monk's martial arts are really high!” He closed the door and went back to sleep.
Ru Feng went outside the wall and explained the situation inside. When they heard that the Special Agent had left, they all became suspicious. One of them said, ”Could it be that we've come to investigate and revealed ourselves, scaring them away?” Pu Xian said: ”For Master Ru Feng to do things, you have always been straightforward. It is not easy for people to not notice that he has come to inquire about it. ”
Fa Tong said: ”I expected them to have some big movements. If they aren't going to the city for a gathering, then they are going to rob the young noble's residence. ”
Ru Feng said: ”If they went to the city to gather, it would be to scheme and deal with the people from Shorty. The monastery was the home of special agents. Pu Xian and Yi Jie went to take a look. I will bring the others to the Young Noble's Mansion. ” After Ru Feng finished speaking, he hurriedly led Pu ji, Pu Tuo and Pu Feng to the Young Noble's Mansion. Fa Tong brought the others and returned to the temple. Pu Xian and Yijie ran towards the monastery.
Just talking about Pu Xianyijie, the two of them walked for a while, then Pu Xian said: ”Let's go to the monastery, let's take a shortcut. After entering the city, they would reach a fork in the road. Let's go over the wall of the mosque. It's a lot closer from there. ” One of them said, ”I don't know much about this place. I'll do as you wish.” The two of them used Lightness Exercise to walk, and very quickly, they entered the city, taking a shortcut to the wall of the mosque. The two of them had just rested when they heard the sound of swords clashing in the courtyard of the mosque. Pu Xian said in shock: ”Yi Jie, listen to me, there are people fighting in the courtyard.” One of them was also surprised, ”Isn't that so? The battle is still very intense.”
The two of them stopped and laughed at the same time. Pu Xian said: ”Let's not go yet, this is a chaotic battle, we should go in and listen.” Yi Jie said, ”It's good to listen. Let's see who is fighting who here, so why is there a sound of killing.” The two of them were about to go in and listen carefully. That was it! The only thing that mattered was the demonic mist. The sound of fighting could be heard everywhere in the capital.
