When the people from the Flying Tiger Escort Agency finished inspecting the escorted goods, they confirmed that the goods were not missing at all. Even the covers were not torn off. They were overjoyed and the burden in their hearts was finally lifted.
On one hand, they sent people to the crime scene to collect the corpses of the escort agency and the owner of the goods. On the other hand, they invited the Wu's disciples back to the city to express their gratitude.
This was exactly what the Wu's disciples wanted.
When they heard that a Wu's disciple had died in the hands of the bandits, the atmosphere became heavy.
Everyone scolded the bandits while comforting the grieving Wu's disciples. The Chief Escort of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency even patted his chest and promised that he would take care of Wang Ji's funeral. To this, Jin Nanqing naturally rejected. The Wu's disciples' matters should naturally be handled by the Wu's. The Flying Tiger Escort Agency didn't need to say anything nice.
However, it could be imagined that because of this matter, the Flying Tiger Escort Agency would definitely pay a heavy price. Whether it was to thank them for recovering the escorted goods or to thank them for avenging the brothers in the agency, it was the Flying Tiger Escort Agency's duty.
After returning to the prefecture, the Flying Tiger Escort Agency sent people to the Wu's to invite Wu Yuntian. At the same time, they booked a private room in the best restaurant in the prefecture, Danfeng Restaurant, to entertain Jin Nanqing and the others.
Jin Nanqing and the others naturally couldn't ask for more. After a few days of eating and sleeping in the open, their spirits were highly tense. It was time to relax. They accepted the kindness of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency and went to Danfeng Restaurant. On the other side, Wu Yuntian wasn't in a good mood.
"What? Killed the bandits, recovered the Wu's escorted goods and went to Danfeng Restaurant?! "
Hearing the words of the people from the Flying Tiger Escort Agency, Wu Yuntian almost kicked them out. He scolded them in his heart, "You are here to investigate the incident of the Wu's goods being robbed. You are not here to do justice and be chivalrous in Jianghu!"
However, although he was scolding them in his heart, he had to give face to the Flying Tiger Escort Agency. As one of the top three escort agencies in Zhonghe Prefecture, the Flying Tiger Escort Agency's status might not be as high as the Yunzhou Wu's, but it was definitely not below him, the person in charge of the Wu's branch.
The group of people waited in Danfeng Restaurant for a good gathering. The escorted goods of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency were recovered, so they were naturally happy. It could be said that this group of Wu's disciples were treated like chivalrous heroes for the first time in Jianghu. They were also praised by the people present, as if they had really become chivalrous heroes in Jianghu, like Lu Shaoyou.
However, this was exactly what Jin Nanqing and the others wanted. They wanted to use this opportunity to erase Wang Ji's death. At the same time, they accidentally made friends with Flying Tiger Escort Agency. Not only could they use them to make a name for themselves, but they could also use them to spread their lies in the martial arts world.
"So, the few of you discovered that the Wu's robbery in Black Shakou is related to Beard Ma. I also know Beard Ma. I'm afraid he doesn't have such guts, right?"
The one who spoke was Qin Feibao from the Flying Tiger Escort Agency. He was the younger brother of the Chief Escort of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency, Qin Feihu. He was highly skilled in martial arts and had a wide network in Jianghu. He couldn't be more familiar with Beard Ma.
Therefore, after listening to Jin Nanqing's words, he had some doubts. Beard Ma's strength was not bad, each of them was well-trained, and their martial arts were also very high. However, it was somewhat unreasonable for them to have the guts to rob the Wu's escorted goods. Not to mention him, even if the few groups of bandits in Black Shakou joined forces, they might not have the guts to rob the Wu's.
"We're just suspecting!"
Facing such doubts, Jin Nanqing already had a countermeasure. He raised his cup and smiled, "In fact, not only Beard Ma, but also the few groups of bandits in Black Shakou. After all, they are the biggest suspects. Apart from them, who else has the ability to do such a thing in Black Shakou?"
"That's reasonable!" The Chief Escort of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency, Sun Feihu, nodded repeatedly, "Since it's an investigation, we naturally have to investigate the most suspicious ones. We can't just ignore the investigation because we don't think they have the guts to do it. Who knows, there might be other hidden secrets in this robbery!"
"That's reasonable, that's reasonable!" An old man in white stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly. He was Liu Yihe, a famous figure in the martial arts world in Zhonghe City. He was also an old Jianghu person. Naturally, he had a very unique opinion on these things that happened in Jianghu. "This matter has happened strangely. In Jianghu, there are bandits who have the guts to rob the Wu's goods in Yunzhou, but they are definitely not the few groups of bandits in Black Shakou. However, as the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food. They are all bandits who make a living on the edge of a knife. Maybe they are blinded by lard for a moment, or maybe they feel that the Wu's goods are very important to them!"
Wu Yuntian's hand trembled violently. He forced a smile on his face, "Old Liu, you must be joking. This batch of goods is for Guard Ding's weapons. There's nothing special about them. These bandits, alas, how to put it, I think, even if they don't give me face, they should at least give Guard Ding face. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, alas —!"
With a sigh, he gulped down the wine in his hand and shook his head without saying a word.
"Yes, yes, it's just a group of bandits. How can you expect them to have any brains? Maybe they were hot-headed and robbed the goods!" Qin Feihu noticed the expression on Wu Yuntian's face. His heart moved. He knew that there might be some secrets in this matter of the Wu's, or that Wu Yuntian had ulterior motives. No matter which possibility it was, he didn't want to be involved in it. He quickly raised his cup and said, "But today, my Flying Tiger Escort Agency has to thank the few young heroes of the Wu's. If it wasn't for your help, I'm afraid that this batch of goods wouldn't be able to return, and it would be difficult to take revenge for our brothers in the escort agency!"
"You're too kind. It's our duty to help when we see injustice on the road. How dare we talk about thanks!" Jin Nanqing raised his cup in high spirits. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the scene became lively again.
Junior Leopard sat beside Jin Nanqing, looking on coldly. He only sneered in his heart.
Their goal had been achieved. After tonight, the whole Jianghu would know that when a few disciples of the Wu's were tracking down the Wu's stolen goods, they had a conflict with the bandits under Beard Ma. After a few fights, both sides won and lost. Later, they accidentally took back the goods of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency and killed Jin Yubao, the Green Hornet under Beard Ma, a Black Shakou bandit. The news of losing a disciple would be erased, and the 10 carriages of medicinal herbs would naturally be stolen by them.
But was it really that simple?
Moreover, why did they only take away the weapons and leave the 10 carriages of medicinal herbs? In comparison, the value of these medicinal herbs far exceeds that batch of goods. Most importantly, how did they transport the 30 carriages of weapons away? The carriages were left there, but the weapons were gone. Could it be that they knew the Five Ghosts Transporting Skill, or …!
Suddenly, Junior Leopard thought of a possibility. His heart trembled violently. He was almost scared by his own thoughts.
No, no, I can't think too much, I can't think too much!
He warned himself in his heart. However, the thought lingered in his mind. Damn it, this is troublesome, really troublesome!
He poured the cup of wine in his hand into his mouth fiercely, and then coughed violently.
"Junior Brother Zhou, are you okay?!"
"Oh, I drank too much and choked on the wine!" Junior Leopard said, and then coughed repeatedly.
"You don't look so good. Is there any problem when you are practicing?!" Jin Nanqing asked with concern. Now the two of them were already in the same boat. Moreover, he had seen Junior Leopard's strength and talent, especially that day when he smashed the vacuum with his fist, which smashed the Bone-Forging Realm experts into pieces. Jin Nanqing was even more in awe of Junior Leopard. His desire to rope him in was getting stronger day by day. Hence, he was especially concerned about Junior Leopard.
"It's not a big problem. It's just that I just broke through recently and need time to stabilize my realm!" Junior Leopard naturally seized the opportunity and said to Jin Nanqing, "I'm afraid it will take a period of time, so …!"
"That's not a big deal. Anyway, what happens next is just a show. You can stay in the city!" Jin Nanqing said sensibly.
Junior Leopard nodded and didn't speak anymore. In fact, he didn't need time to stabilize his realm. He just needed time to refine the 49 Demon Devil Needles. For him, the 49 Demon Devil Needles were extremely powerful and they were very secretive when used. Especially at night, the black light couldn't be seen at all. It was really the best treasure to defend oneself. If he didn't refine it completely, he wouldn't be able to rest assured!
After the banquet, Qin Feihu invited Jin Nanqing and the rest to be guests at the Flying Tiger Escort Agency. However, Jin Nanqing declined. He said that he still had a mission to complete. After everything was over, he would definitely visit the Flying Tiger Escort Agency. Only then did Qin Feihu let it go.
Of course, the gift of thanks would definitely not be small. Even the dead Wang Ji and the few young heroes of the Wu Family all received a generous gift. Of course, the most important thing was that these few people had a little reputation in Zhonghe City. They could barely be called "young heroes"!
"Young hero, hehe, in this Jianghu, as long as you have a young face, you are all f * cking young heroes!" Returning to the Wu Family's branch in Zhonghe City, he entered his own room and closed the door. Once the Internal Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire revolved around his body, a strong smell of alcohol emitted from his body. During the banquet, because he was young, no one toasted him. However, those few seniors around him toasted him one cup after another. Maybe it was with good intentions. They were afraid that Junior Leopard would feel neglected. Junior Leopard naturally couldn't not give them face, so he drank quite a lot.
After forcing out the smell of alcohol, he sat on the bed, took out the 49 Demon Devil Needles and started to practice.
… …
… …
"What, Fourth Liu is missing?!" It was still that quiet and elegant small building. It was still those two people. The man in luxurious clothes frowned, "Is there really no news at all?"
