Not far from Junzhou Prefecture, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and others arrived in less than a half day.

Although the city is not very big, there are many people coming and going, and it is quite prosperous... Boss Yan is really doing business. You can't get far away and you can see a shop with the word "Yan" sign. The food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are all his business...

Yan's mansion is very big, but it is not in the city, but on a half-mountain in the suburbs.

Zhan Zhao felt quite strange, "Don't rich people like to buy big houses in the city these days? Other courtyards are built in the mountains... Mr. Yan is rich and isn't he afraid of thieves living in such a remote place?"

Everyone came to a small path not far from the Yan family mansion, raised their faces and looked at the large manor on the hillside in front of them.

Bai Yutang looked at it for a while, frowned slightly and said, "Is it a coincidence? The construction method of the Yan family's big house seems to be the same as the construction method of the Jin family's old house."

"It does look very similar..." Zhan Zhao also felt that it was close.

"This kind of house is called a city-state." At this time, Wu Yihuao spoke.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both saw him.

"The hillside of the old Jin family house was a little bottom before. I don't think that this Yan family house was more obvious." Wu Yifa said, "This is not the method of making ordinary houses, but the method of building a city-state. The mountains under the house should be hollowed out to facilitate hiding things. There are no walls around them. If the wall is surrounded, it will become a small city-state. If the outside cannot be attacked, the storage inside can live for several years, and it is also convenient to hide! If the mountain is hollowed out and the inside is filled with machines, no one will be able to catch the family when they enter."

Long Qiaoguang curled his lips, "Isn't this the method of making a copycat thieves' nest?"

"It can also be said that these years have been rare. It was very common in the past when there were chaos." Wu Yifa said, "This house is indeed the same as the old house of the Jin family."

"After the back mountain of the old Jin family house was hollowed out, a golden Buddha was hidden. What are you hiding at the foot of the mountain?" Zhan Zhao asked Feng Chuanfeng about the three-headed golden Tuo.

Feng Chuanfeng frowned. There was no sect or person related to this in the world. He just knew some folk legends.

"The house is right in front, how do you check it?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

"It's easy." Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Long Qiaoguang said, "Go in and check."

"Get in?" Zhan Zhao and others looked at him.

Long Qiaoguang smiled, "I just said that I was going to buy military rations and asked him for a million kilograms of rice. For such a big deal, Boss Yan naturally had to come out in person."

"Buying rice is indeed a good excuse..." Zhan Zhao nodded.

"It's not entirely an excuse." Long Qiao Guangdao, "It was the period of purchasing military rations every year. This year, there was a lot of rain and there was not much grain in the north. It was natural to buy it in the south. And this year there was a large seaside in the south."

Zhan Zhao and others thought about it and it was indeed the best excuse.

So everyone went up the mountain with a legitimate reputation.

Along the way, Zhan Zhao noticed that Wu Yihuo was looking at the mansion all the way, as if he was thinking.

Zhan Zhao asked him, "Uncle Xiaofu, what do you think is wrong?"

Wu Yihuao looked at Zhan Zhao and said, "Well... Didn't Master Pang say before that there are liars in Jiangnan?"

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"I also remember that there was indeed such a group of people who used this method to make money." Wu Yihuai said, "That gang is called Fan Ju. The business on the surface is to open inns everywhere, or to say it is a black shop, but it is not black people in this shop. Fan Ju is their base camp, and there are all kinds of scammers, bandits, and murderers. In short, they are very cunning and use all kinds of methods. They have all kinds of tricks and kidnaps, which have accumulated a lot of wealth."

"How many years ago did that happen?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Well... it's been a lot of years, at least sixty years." Wu Yifa said.

Zhan Zhao was curious, "Why did you suddenly think of them? What does it have to do with Boss Yan?"

"I just want to say something about the relationship, Fan Ju's eldest son's surname is Yan." Wu Yihuao said, "What do you think is a coincidence?"

"One surname is Yan and the other surname is Yan." Zhan Zhao nodded, "It is indeed a coincidence, especially if everything is connected..."

...

Everyone walked to the door of Yan's mansion and knocked on the door.

After a while, an old man who looked like a housekeeper came out and opened the door, looked out, and was puzzled, "Who are you looking for?"

"Look for your master." Zhan Zhao said.

"Well, what's the point of doing?" asked the housekeeper.

"We are from the army and want to buy military rations." Zhan Zhao said.

"Oh... it turns out to be Junmao." The housekeeper asked, "What do you call me? I'll report to the master."

Zhan Zhao pointed at Long Qiaoguang, "Right General Long Qiaoguang."

The housekeeper gasped, "Oh, I'll go now, wait a moment..." After that, he ran away.

Everyone was watching the chattering chatter - you are quite famous.

Long Qiaoguang looked at the sky, I am a general and a first-rank official!

Zhan Zhao and others touched their chins - that's right, the four generals are all equivalent to first-class, and they are high-ranking officials...tsk! Although they all look like bandits.

Sure enough, there were many people running out "crank" inside. Boss Yan didn't even wear his hat. He rushed out and shouted, "Disciple guest!"

...

Everyone looked at Boss Yan, who was in his sixties and in good health, and he saw that he was a businessman, and he was full of polite words.

Boss Yan went to the door and looked at it. He didn't know which one was the right general, but he felt very identity when he looked at it.

Long Qiaoguang took out the gold medal from Zhao Family Army and showed him so that he would not have to be too polite.

Boss Yan led everyone into the mansion. In addition to being polite, he asked curiously, "When the right general is buying military rations, he actually wants the right general to come in person?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang - this old man was quite cautious.

Bai Yutang is showing Zhan Zhao - looking at the side of the yard.

Zhan Zhao turned his face and saw a huge stone screen placed against the wall. The four big words "Golden and Jade Hall" looked inexplicably so familiar, including the carving style of the entire stone screen...

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly - Isn't this the same screen inside the gate of the old Jin family's house?

Bai Yutang nodded, and the two of them were tacitly aware that the relationship between the two families was indeed extraordinary.

Long Qiaoguang, regardless of Zhan Zhao and the others' investigation, had certain rules and procedures for purchasing grain in the military camp. He had not bought it before, just follow the rules.

Seeing the old man confused, Long Qiaoguang said, "The Marshal has always been careful. The source of all the military rations of the Zhao family army was determined by us generals."

"Oh, right!" Boss Yan said all his mouth full of honey, praising Zhao's army for being good men... When he walked to the living room, he praised Long Qiaoguang for wanting to recognize his relatives - you can speak more than me!

The Yan family's house is very grand, but it also has some taste and can afford the reputation of the richest man in the local area.

Bai Yutang observed and found that the house was guarded strictly and there were many experts in the guard house guarding the house.

Zhan Zhao frowned. The security here in Jinzhou Prefecture is good... The thugs among the old man Yan seem to have too many, and both of them seem to have good martial arts skills and are not young. Who is Zhan Zhao? The three hundred demons in the Demon Palace grew up. He felt that these people were not like the guards of the generals at first sight. They were just people from the martial arts world, and they seemed to have retired, and they were so cautious about them.

Entering the reception lobby, everyone sat down.

Long Qiaoguang and Boss Yan talked about things related to buying military rations. The old man was very flirting when talking about business, and it seemed that he had no doubt about the origin of everyone.

Zhan Zhao looked around and found that Wu Yifu was holding a cup, looking at Boss Yan intentionally or unintentionally. Feng Chuanfeng, who was sitting next to Wu Yifu, also touched the beard on his chin, and his eyes looked at Boss Yan with a different meaning. The two old men looked at each other from time to time, as if they were communicating something.

At the end of the conversation, Long Qiaoguang proposed to take a look at the grain storage warehouse and the fields for growing grain. Boss Yan agreed. However, the fields needed to be seen tomorrow. He thought everyone came from Heifeng City, so he kept everyone for one night. Zhan Zhao and others naturally agreed, and what you said was what you said.

When he arrived at the Yan family's guest room and entered the house, Bai Yutang said to Zhan Zhao, "Maoer, this house is exactly the same as the old house of the Jin family, only the direction of the door opening is different."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and he also felt strange. When he was walking in the yard just now, he felt the illusion of walking into the backyard of the Jin family's old house.

"There is another point, very suspicious." Wu Yifa said, "Boss Yan looks so similar to Yan Su, the owner of Fan Ju back then."

Feng Chuanfeng nodded, "If there is no calculation error, this person should be Yan Su's son!"

Wu Yifu smiled slightly, "We have entered the thief's nest!"

At this time, the butler outside brought his servants to bring refreshments and said, "Several generals have worked hard all the way, have a rest for a while, the master has prepared a dinner party for entertainment..."

Long Qiaoguang waved his hand, "No need, I'm not here to have a meal."

The housekeeper laughed, "What I want, my grandfather heard that the right general was coming, and he also said he wanted to come out to meet him."

"Master?" Wu Yifu was a little surprised.

"Is it your master's father?" Feng Chuanfeng laughed, "Your master looks pretty good."

"Haha." The housekeeper also smiled, "My grandmaster is the longest-lived person within a radius of a hundred miles. It's over one hundred this year!"

"Is that..." Wu Yifa smiled slightly.

Feng Chuanfeng also found it interesting - he was not dead yet! Will he faint after seeing Wu Yifu after a while?

The butler put down his things and said a few words and left.

"Is it really Yan Su?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"□□Never leave the tenth." Wu Yihuo said coldly, "Fortunately, I followed him, otherwise you would be careful of being killed by him."

"Is he a bad guy?" Long Qiaoguang took out the poison test needle given to him by Gongsun and poked it everywhere to see if there was any poison.

Feng Chuanfeng said coldly, "Yan Sui thought he was the King of Thieves back then. This person was insatiable and insidious. This case probably had something to do with him."

Wu Yifa also nodded.

"Then doesn't he know you?" Bai Yutang asked Wu Yihuao.

"It's not just about knowing each other, but also about deep hatred." Wu Yifu said slowly.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at him - then are you still so calm?

Wu Yifa smiled slightly. I guess if the old man was not blind during the meal, he would definitely be very exciting when he saw my expression.
