Chapter 2057 Money was stolen
It is impossible for a person with meat on his body to live a clean life.
Sure enough, a few days later.
Feng Dashan suddenly came to the city to look for Chen Changli and Wan Shufang. When he saw them, he immediately grabbed Chen Changli's hand and cried, "Sir, Madam, my money was stolen and I can't find it."
Mr. Feng's face was filled with anxiety. In an instant, he seemed to have aged several decades, and even his waist was bent. Seeing that he could not stand steadily, Wan Shufang quickly supported him: "Uncle, what happened? Tell me slowly."
"Nothing happened. My house was robbed and all my money was stolen. I couldn't find the thief, so I thought of you and my wife because I had nowhere else to turn."
After all, for such a long time, these two were the only ones who had the ability to help him, so Mr. Feng subconsciously came to them.
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang helped the man in and sat him down. They looked at each other with serious expressions. Wan Shufang considered for a long time before tentatively speaking, "Uncle, let us go with you to report to the police. Reporting to the police is the best way to deal with a thief."
"Yes, yes, yes, report it to the police, report it to the police, I had forgotten about this matter." Old Man Feng immediately stood up and was about to go out. Seeing his appearance, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang both breathed a sigh of relief.
They originally suspected that it was Mr. Feng and Feng Huairen who were putting on a show.
Now it seems that Mr. Feng really was unaware of the situation.
The two men felt relieved and accompanied Feng Dashan to the government office. The new county magistrate knew Chen Changli's identity, and after taking the case, he immediately sent people to investigate.
But after checking, they found that Feng Huairen disappeared every once in a while. Although he told Old Man Feng that he was going hunting, no one had ever seen him go to the mountains.
"So, Feng Huairen disappears out of thin air every once in a while?" Chen Changli frowned, his voice as cold as ice, causing the county magistrate to tremble uncontrollably.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Excellency, this is what our people found out. For now, we still don't know where Feng Huairen is."
Hearing this, Chen Changli didn't say anything more. He just sent the county magistrate away and called An Yi.
"An Yi, take a few secret guards to investigate. Once you find Feng Huairen's whereabouts, report back immediately."
"Yes, master." An Yi clasped his fists and accepted the order. He quickly left and disappeared into the night.
The secret guards were good at tracking and investigating, and were much more efficient than the officers and soldiers of the county magistrate's office. In just three days, they found out the whereabouts of Feng Huairen.
Looking at what An Yi handed over, Wan Shufang tapped the table lightly with one hand, her expression indifferent: "In other words, after he disappeared, he frequently went to the black market to buy a large amount of medicinal materials?"
"Yes, ma'am. I brought back the herbs. I also found out that Feng Huairen bought a house not far from the Feng family compound."
An Yi put all the herbs on the table. Looking at the herbs, Wan Shufang put them into the space and quickly tested the results. An expression of "as expected" appeared on her face.
She had guessed it when she smelled it just now.
Looking at the expression on Wan Shufang's face, Chen Changli asked in a deep voice: "Shufang, did you find anything?"
Hearing this, Wan Shufang raised her eyebrows and looked at the medicinal herbs on the table.
"These herbs are the raw materials for refining Black Water Pills. This Feng Huairen is more complicated than we thought. The mansion... Changli, let's go check it out tonight." As she spoke, her eyes narrowed: "I just hope he is still the real Feng Huairen."
Chen Changli and his companions had seen the art of disguise before, and they had guessed what Wan Shufang had said to some extent, but they did not say much.
When night fell, the two of them, along with several secret guards, hurried to the private residence purchased by Feng Huairen.
After carefully sneaking into the yard, the two did not look around, but went straight to the study, where they indeed found a secret room.
Wan Shufang's eyes lit up, and she whispered to Chen Changli, "Changli, there is a secret room here."
As she spoke, she waved her hand and Chen Changli walked over quickly. Without any hesitation, the two of them walked directly into the secret room. In front of them was a dark road. They walked carefully and soon saw the light ahead.
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang couldn't help but slow down their pace, approaching a little bit, hiding behind the stone wall and sticking their heads out to look out.
A flash of fire came into view, followed by a burst of medicinal fragrance. Feng Huairen was holding in his hand the black water pills that had just been refined and were still steaming!
"It's done, it's done. These black water pills took up a lot of my energy. Hahaha!" He looked crazy and laughed.
At Feng Huairen's feet, there were several villagers kneeling with dazed expressions, their heads down and not saying a word.
Looking at the villagers, Wan Shufang narrowed her eyes, as if she had thought of something. Her face changed drastically: "Damn it, Feng Huairen actually used the Black Water Pill to control the villagers and make them work for him!"
Wan Shufang's thoughts were flowing like a tide, her eyes moved, and she looked to the other side, where she saw countless gold, silver and treasures piled up. The golden light made the fire look dim.
This scene made Wan Shufang so angry that she couldn't help but clench her fists. She was about to rush in and capture Feng Huairen when she saw a familiar figure appear over there.
Liu Ruyan hugged Feng Huairen from behind, her eyes full of tenderness: "Congratulations, Mr. Feng, you finally got what you wanted and refined the Black Water Pill."
"But what are you going to do with these villagers?"
"Nonsense, of course we will continue to control them and make money for us." Feng Huairen turned around and hugged Liu Ruyan, lifted her chin and kissed her. At the end, he pinched her butt: "Little devil, why are you here?"
"I just miss you. You helped me fake my death and escape. I also helped you refine the Black Water Pills. We earned so much gold and silver. Don't you think I can come back?"
Liu Ruyan pretended to be angry and glared at him. She pouted her lips and turned to leave: "If that's the case, then I'll leave."
Before she took a step forward, Feng Huairen grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms: "Little devil, now that you're here, why do you have to leave?"
"Mr. Feng, I hate you for bullying me again."
"How did you bully me?" He lowered his head slightly. Under the fierce firelight, the two men ignored the villagers who were still kneeling on the ground and acted as if they were in an empty place. Soon, ambiguous sounds were heard one after another.
This also made Chen Changli and Wan Shufang feel uncomfortable. They looked at each other with fierceness in their eyes. At the beginning, they sent a letter to the Ministry of Justice, but the news they received was that Niu Jinzhi had died of poisoning, so a maid was used to execute her.
Unexpectedly, Niu Jinzhi not only survived, but even successfully returned to Yunfeng County, lost weight, and became the most beautiful courtesan in Yihongyuan. She concealed her true identity and continued to refine the Black Water Pills in secret to make money!
It even controlled innocent villagers, turning them into puppets, unconscious and at the mercy of others.
This room full of gold and silver is the evidence of the two men's crimes.
