Chapter 203 Haste
Jiang Chengfeng sighed. Ah Lin left, and Yunxian left too, in the same rush, as if it was all a dream. There were still traces of tears on the palm-sized piece of paper. One could imagine Yunxian's sad face when she wrote this note.
Outside the window, a drizzle began to fall again and the sky was gloomy, just like Jiang Chengfeng's mood at the moment.
Without his beloved, Jiang Chengfeng wandered around Longtian Village again and left in a hurry. When he returned, he followed the path he took yesterday. There were still soldiers fishing by the lake, and they were obviously very busy.
As soon as Jiang Chengfeng reached the lake, a burly, dark-skinned man quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Excuse me, brother, is this Brother Jiang Dazhu? We have been looking for him for a whole day and night, and we were just thinking about whether we should drain the water from the West Lake?"
Jiang Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I am really sorry! What is your name, brother?"
The sturdy man smiled naively and said, "My name is Bai Feng, it's just a humble name, please don't worry about it!"
This sturdy man's surname is also Bai? Taking a closer look at his appearance, Jiang Chengfeng hurriedly asked, "There is a guard named Bai Biao under the command of Ye Duo, the governor of Jianghuai. I wonder if this big brother knows him?"
Bai Feng was stunned, then smiled and said, "That's my eldest brother!"
Jiang Chengfeng chatted with Bai Feng for a few more sentences, and then he found out that Bai Feng, like his brother Bai Biao, had once served as a royal guard in the palace. Later, the emperor assigned them to protect Ye Duo and Tang Yin respectively.
Afterwards, Jiang Chengfeng returned on Bai Feng's big ship, and the officers and soldiers in charge of the salvage also finished their work. However, after returning, Jiang Chengfeng was surprised to find that Old Man Tang looked much more haggard, and had two obvious dark circles under his eyes.
Jiang Chengfeng joked, "Master Tang, you just reunited with Miss Su yesterday. You should have spent the night together in the love duck tent. Why do you look so haggard?"
Tang Yin was already fifty-six years old this year, but he was teased by a young man like Jiang Chengfeng. His old face immediately turned red, but he was a man who had experienced many storms after all. He recovered in a moment and bowed, saying, "Speaking of this, I have to thank Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Chengfeng laughed it off and didn't want to dwell on it too much, so he took the initiative to tell Old Man Tang what happened after he fell into the water yesterday.
He lied, saying that he was salvaged by the villagers of Longtian Village and stayed at the villagers' home for one night. He also said that he owed the villagers two taels of silver for accommodation and asked Tang Yin to send someone to settle the bill. He did not mention anything about Liu Yunxian.
Tang Yin was such a smart person that he could tell from Jiang Chengfeng's words that this matter might be unusual. Since Jiang didn't want to mention it, he didn't ask any more questions. However, he believed that he would be able to catch it in the future, so he was not in a hurry!
At this moment, someone suddenly ran into the living room and reported: "Master Tang, Miss Shen has returned to Huayang!"
"Gone? When did he leave?" Tang Yin exclaimed.
"Just now, I followed Lord Tang's order to inform Miss Shen of the safe return of Young Master Jiang . Miss Shen will return to Huayang after hearing the news!"
"This is strange!" Tang Yin muttered to himself, "Niece Ruoyan was extremely anxious yesterday, waiting for news from Brother Jiang, and she didn't sleep all night! Now that she knows Brother Jiang is safe, why did she return to Huayang?"
Jiang Chengfeng was also puzzled. Why did this girl just leave without saying goodbye? I'll settle the accounts with you when I get back to Huayang. I haven't received my share of the perfume and soap for the past two months!
Jiang Chengfeng asked the person who brought the news, Miss Shen, whether she had left any words, and the person replied that she wanted Jiang Chengfeng to return to Huayang on his own.
Jiang Chengfeng waved his hand, too lazy to think about what the girl was thinking, and instead asked Tang Yin how to deal with the killers of the Red Immortal Sect.
Tang Yin said firmly: "Interrogate him strictly and behead him in public!"
"The leader among them is named Wang Zhao. Last time I was captured by the bad guys from the Red Immortal Cult, this guy played a huge role!" Jiang Chengfeng smiled sinisterly.
"I didn't expect Brother Jiang to know Wang Zhao!" Tang Yin opened his mouth wide, then regained his composure, "He is indeed the leader of those people, but he is definitely not the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Jiang Chengfeng nodded and said, "I'm afraid you've already got all the information, Master Tang! Why are you still going through so much trouble?"
"As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you have to seize the stolen goods. Only with solid evidence can we convince the people and the supporters behind the Red Immortal Cult!" Tang Yin said meaningfully.
"However, it's a pity that most of the guards I brought with me this time are highly skilled in martial arts, but none of them are good at torture! And that Wang Zhao is stubborn and can't get any valuable clues out of him!"
Jiang Chengfeng rolled his eyes in annoyance. Old Man Tang said this in front of me. Isn't it obvious that he wants me to interrogate him? Even if Old Man Tang knew that I had a grudge against the Red Immortal Cult, you don't have to order me around like this!
However, although Jiang Chengfeng had never conducted an interrogation, he had seen many things like pepper spray and picking nails on TV dramas, so he didn't believe that Wang Zhao would be so stubborn!
When Jiang Chengfeng thought about interrogating Wang Zhao soon and being able to avenge the arrow shot at him that day, his gloomy mood suddenly became very happy!
So, Jiang Chengfeng was taken to a dark cell by Bai Feng. At this time, Wang Zhao was tied up on a cross, his clothes were tattered and his face was haggard.
Hearing the footsteps, Wang Zhao looked up and saw that the person coming in was Jiang Chengfeng. His eyes suddenly became angry and he shouted, "Jiang Dazhu, what are you doing here?"
This bastard is still so arrogant even after being caught!
Jiang Chengfeng laughed in anger and said, "Of course I'm visiting my relatives!"
"What do you mean?" Wang Zhao said gritting his teeth.
"To visit my grandson, of course!"
Wang Zhao's face was grim, and he roared, "Jiang, if you have the guts, let me go! I want to fight you in a duel!"
Jiang Chengfeng ignored him and turned to look at Bai Feng and asked, "Brother Bai, I heard that this kid's martial arts is very good!"
Bai Feng nodded and was about to speak when Jiang Chengfeng continued, "Brother Bai, do you have any way to crack the martial arts of this so-called martial arts master?"
"Penetrating the scapula and breaking the qi sea!" said Bai Feng.
Jiang Chengfeng nodded and said, "I have never seen these guys you mentioned! Otherwise, could you please show me a hundred moves, Brother Bai?"
Wang Zhao was so frightened that his face turned pale, sweat dripped down his forehead, and he shouted wildly: "Jiang! You bastard, if you dare, let me fight you in a duel!"
Bai Feng was sweating profusely after listening to this. Wang Zhao became a useless man after only one demonstration, and he had to demonstrate it a hundred times? It was too cruel!
"Shut up right there!" Jiang Chengfeng slapped Wang Zhao in the face and shouted, "I'm not even afraid of the master behind you, so why am I afraid of you, a bastard?"
