Lord of Puro

Chapter 573 Yin Ling
Shen Jingye invited Li Banfeng to dinner in Li Banfeng's office. They drank can of beer after can, and Shen Jingye enjoyed it more and more.

Speaking of Du Wenming, Shen Jingye sighed: "I originally thought that Du Wenming survived until today, all thanks to his teacher's support, but I didn't expect this person to have such a big background.
He is the third in command of Xuehuapu, the elder of the Birch Gang, the leader of the Ferry Gang, and also has the title of director. He has taken control of all four avenues. "

Li Banfeng took a sip of wine and encouraged Xiao Shen: "Don't always envy him. Now that Du Wenming is gone, the director's position should belong to you."

Shen Jingye sighed, "It's not my turn. I offended Du Wenming's teacher. During the meeting today, Du Wenming's teacher kept scolding me, saying that I was too utilitarian in my work. In his words, he meant that I deliberately stabbed Du Wenming.

I didn't indulge him and I confronted him directly at the meeting. A blacksmith must be strong himself. What consequences will there be if the things he did are not discovered in time?
When I said this back, the old man's face turned blue. He is a man of his skill. Liao Zihui and I have both suffered at his hands. He must have remembered this grudge. There is no chance of my promotion to director. Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful. If I had said less, perhaps the situation could have been eased."

Li Banfeng laughed and said, "Even if you didn't say that, would you be able to get the position of director?"

Shen Jingye didn't say anything.

Li Banfeng asked again: "Even if Du Wenming's discovery was not made by you, but by the Dark Matter Research Laboratory, and this matter has nothing to do with you, can you still be the director?"

Shen Jingye smiled: "When I first met you, I thought you were a very annoying person and your words were very irritating, but now that I think about it carefully, it's not that irritating. You're telling the truth."

After taking two bites of food, Shen Jingye remembered something, took out a draft document, and handed it to Li Banfeng: "This is the topic to be discussed at the meeting next week. Take a look at it first, so as not to embarrass me when the time comes."

Li Banfeng took a look and realized that this was a personnel issue. A group of people had been transferred, and several people had retired, leaving a lot of positions vacant, which meant that a group of people were going to be promoted.

Tangyuan and Dengbao were both promoted. As they did not have enough years of service as middle school graduates, they were included in the list of reserve talents along with the stars. A group of key personnel including candied fruit, awl, clams, crabapple, oranges, and wowotou were all promoted.

There was a person who caught Li Banfeng's attention.

Tangkuai, who had a smooth journey, was transferred from the security team to the logistics team to be responsible for management work.

Her position did not decrease, and even increased a little, but her position was not taken seriously.

Li Banfeng asked, "Has the candy fallen out of favor?"

Shen Jingye frowned and said, "I have never spoiled her. It's because her family has some means. In fact, Tangkuai is a good person. His family is so rich, and he doesn't put on airs. When we go on missions, we know that she is not capable, so we always let her do some odd jobs. She doesn't pick and choose.
But the security team is really not suitable for her. She has to be responsible for the lives of others, as well as her own life. She is quite careful in her work, so I transferred her to the logistics department and promoted her to a higher level. This way, I can report to the higher-ups, and other people can get things done more smoothly. "

Li Banfeng had no objection, and Shen Jingye was very happy: "Things that were not done right before should be done right now. Can you invite someone else over for a drink?"

"Is he an acquaintance?"

"It's an acquaintance! Chen Changrui."

"Isn't his wife ill?"

"You're talking nonsense. He just doesn't want to drink with me. He's been the captain for so many years, it's time for him to be promoted. But I can't decide on his promotion. I have to ask my superiors for instructions, and he has to cooperate with me."

Shen Jingye took out his phone and called Chen Changrui: "Old Chen, come to the bureau... Are you still talking nonsense to me? Are you still talking about your wife? Your wife and my sister went to play mahjong. My sister told me everything. Come over quickly!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jingye said to Li Banfeng: "Chen Changrui has made many contributions in the past few years, and he has done a good job in recent years. It is time for him to be promoted.
If you don’t get promoted, the security team will run into problems and slowly become like him, not fighting for anything.”

Shen Jingye sees many things very clearly, but he has been pretending to be confused for so many years. When Chen Changrui came, Shen Jingye told him about the promotion. The word "hope" could be seen from Chen Changrui's facial features.

After eating and drinking, Shen Jingye wanted to listen to some music again. He looked at Li Banfeng's record player and said, "Can you let me listen to that song again, the one I heard before?"

Li Banfeng wound up the record player and played the song "Wild Grass and Flowers Bloom in Spring" again. Shen Jingye was listening with great concentration.

He wanted to hum along, but was afraid of covering up the song on the record. The song was so beautiful, and Shen Jingye didn't want to miss a single word.

After listening to the song, Shen Jingye picked up his jacket and said, "My wife is still waiting at home. She is narrow-minded. If I don't go back, she will be angry."

After Shen Jingye left, Chen Changrui sighed: "It's really not easy to get along with a mentally ill person."

Li Banfeng was stunned. What does this mean? Is he scolding me?
Chen Changrui explained: "Director Shen's wife has a mental illness. If Director Shen is not home at 10 o'clock every night, she will make a scene."

It turns out that they were talking about Shen Jingye's daughter-in-law.

Despite his position, he is still loyal to his wife and seems to be a devoted man.

Chen Changrui said to Li Banfeng: "Director Li, can you let me listen to the song again?"

Do you all like this song so much?

It’s okay to play it again, Li Banfeng also likes this song very much.

Li Banfeng put the needle back on the record. After Chen Changrui listened to it, he asked, "Who sang this song?"

"When I bought the record, the boss told me that it was sung by the singing queen Jiang Mengting." Li Banfeng said perfunctorily.

Chen Changrui was silent for a long time, then shook his head slightly. "I worked in Pro Province for a while. At that time, Ma Junyang was still the fifth son of the Ma family and had just started to run Xiaoyaowu. Among the first batch of singers he made famous, there was Jiang Mengting.
Jiang Mengting doesn't have this voice, nor does she sing this way. If 100 is the full score, I think Jiang Mengting back then would only get 60 points.

I went to Green Water City a while ago. Jiang Mengting should have been in voice training now. Her skills can barely get 90 points. This is definitely not sung by her. "

Chen Changrui is a peeping cultivator, not a peeper. He is a peeping cultivator who started in Pro Province. It is indeed not easy to deceive him about this matter.

"This record was given to me by a friend. He said it was Jiang Mengting's, but it doesn't sound like her to me," Li Banfeng changed the subject: "How many points do you think this record can get?"

Chen Changrui shook his head: "This cannot be measured by points. I said 500 points, but that's too low. This singing style and this singing skill, I have only heard it once in Pro Province."

"Have you heard of it?" Li Banfeng frowned and became alert.

Chen Changrui nodded and said, "When I was working in Green Water City, I met a female businessman named Cheng Xueying through the introduction of Liao Zihui.

This guy is a fan of opera, and I also like to listen to opera, so we became friends after a while, and we often go to the theater. Director Li, let me make it clear to you that we just like to listen to opera, and there is nothing else to it. "

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I didn't say you had any other relationship. Please continue."

Chen Changrui continued, "One day, she invited me to her house and said she wanted to listen to records. Listening to records is quite fashionable in Provence, but to be honest, I don't like it.
We have so many things to listen to operas on, such as TVs and cell phones. Which one has better sound quality than a record player? Besides, it is not appropriate for a man like me to go to a woman's house. We really have no other relationship."

"Who said you two are related?" Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Hurry up and continue."

"But Cheng Xueying kept inviting me to go, and I couldn't refuse, so I agreed. When I arrived at her house, I heard the song "Mu Guiying Takes Command" and was stunned.

How could someone in this world sing so well? I listened to it once and felt like I had lived half my life in vain. I asked Cheng Xueying who sang it, and she told me it was Yin Ling.

Li Banfeng asked: "Who is Yin Ling?"

"Yin Ling is a legend in Purozhou. It is said that there was a famous actor named Huang Yuxian who debuted on stage at the age of eight. His song became famous all over Purozhou and remained so for twelve years.
When he was 20 years old, whenever people in Provence mentioned actors, they would mention Huang Yuxian. They said that all the actors in the world combined could not match Huang Yuxian's skills.
But Huang Yuxian, who was at the peak of her popularity, suddenly disappeared. Some people said that her fans were reluctant to see her in public and killed her. Others said that her colleagues were jealous of her and harmed her. All kinds of rumors were plausible, saying that Huang Yuxian was dead.
A few years later, several records of Huang Yuxian were released on the market, and they were all songs that Huang Yuxian had not sung before. This was strange. Huang Yuxian had been dead for so many years, so how could he still release a new play?
At first, people thought these records were fake and not sung by Huang Yuxian. However, there are still many people who heard Huang Yuxian sing at that time. After listening to it, they all said that this was Huang Yuxian's singing part and no one else could learn it.

Thus, there was a rumor about Yin Ling. It was said that Huang Yuxian died with hatred and turned into Yin Ling, still singing in Prosperity. People who really understood opera, by chance, could hear Huang Yuxian singing and get his records.
After getting the record, you must take good care of it. Yin Ling can bless you with good luck. If you don't take good care of it, or even damage the record, you will be punished by Yin Ling. At the very least, you will suffer from a serious disease, or at the worst, your family will be destroyed."

Li Banfeng sat on the chair and remained silent for a long time.

Is this just a legend?
Is it just because this guy named Huang Yuxian has a voice somewhat similar to my wife’s?
Li Banfeng had never heard of this person named Cheng Xueying, so he asked Chen Changrui: "Are you still in touch with this friend?"

Chen Changrui shook his head and sighed, "This is all my fault. I really like this record so much that I asked Cheng Xueying to buy it at a high price, but Cheng Xueying refused and said she would not sell it no matter how much money she offered.

I asked again if I could make a copy, but Cheng Xueying still refused. I got angry and didn't see her for several months.

After a while, I wanted to listen to the record again. Even if she refused to give it to me, I could listen to it again. But our relationship had become strained, and I was still thinking about how to ease the tension. Then a document came from above, transferring me to the Dark Star Bureau.

When I arrived in Yuezhou, I was still thinking about the record and kept asking about Cheng Xueying. A few years ago, I heard that she had hooked up with the Lu family and her business was booming. I was happy for her from the bottom of my heart, but I also felt guilty for what happened back then. "

When he heard the word "Lu family", Li Banfeng's cheek twitched.

He remembered what Shopkeeper Feng had said.

Chen Changrui continued, "If Cheng Xueying's business is booming because of Yin Ling's record, then it proves that the rumors are true.
I had the opportunity to go on a business trip to Puluo Province again. I prepared some gifts and wanted to go see Cheng Xueying. But when I asked around in Green Water City, I learned that something had happened to the Cheng family. The whole family had just moved to a new house, and then they all died. Only Cheng Xueying was still alive.

I wanted to ask the reason, but Cheng Xueying was nowhere to be found. Thinking back to the rumors, it might be because she didn't take good care of the records, so Yin Ling took revenge on her.

Since then, I have believed that Yin Ling is real. I never thought that I would be able to hear her music again today."

Chen Changrui had just finished speaking when he noticed that the muscles on Li Banfeng's face were twitching constantly, and his facial features were almost distorted.

"Director Li, what's wrong with you?"

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "It's a bit scary that you're talking about this in the middle of the night."

Chen Changrui smiled and said, "These are just rumors. It's hard to tell whether they are true or not. Don't take them seriously. This song is really good, or maybe I heard it wrong."

After two more drinks, they went back to their respective homes.

On the way, Li Banfeng walked slowly. He kept thinking about what Chen Changrui and Manager Feng had said.

Back in Yaowanggou, Li Banfeng asked Manager Feng about the origin of the record player. Manager Feng said that a businessman in Lushui City offered 180,000 yuan and sold the record player to him.

At that time, he only said that he was a businessman. He did not say whether he was a man or a woman, nor did he say what business he was doing. Li Banfeng gradually forgot about this matter, but now he remembered it.

The person who sold the record player to Manager Feng should be Cheng Xueying.

Cheng Xueying got a record player from somewhere, and the record player recorded the record of "Mu Guiying Takes Command", which is Yin Ling's record.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the record player is Yin Ling, the famous actor Huang Yuxian of that time.

But isn’t your wife’s name Zhao Xiaowan?

How come it became Huang Yuxian again?

What happened here?
From Chen Changrui's description, we can see that Cheng Xueying cherishes records very much, and she must also cherish the record player. In this case, why did her wife kill her entire family?

Was it because she had done something to offend the lady? Or was it because this matter had nothing to do with the lady?

After returning to his residence, Li Banfeng hid the key and entered the residence.

The record player came up to greet him happily: "My dear husband, you are back."

Li Banfeng was stunned for less than a second, then he hugged his wife, put his cheek against her breasts, and rubbed her up and down for a long time.

The record player was ticklish and laughed breathlessly: "My husband, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just miss you."

"We haven't separated. I'm waiting for my husband to come back home every day."

The ladies are waiting at home.

With such a good wife, does anything else matter?

Even if my wife is really Yin Ling, she has no intention of harming me. If she wants to talk about the past, she will naturally tell me. If she doesn't want to talk about it, what can I do?
In the blink of an eye, Li Banfeng hugged the record player and kissed him twice. His wife started talking about serious matters: "My dear husband, the man named Yu Yaoming is doing something very unusual. Some of his ideas are close to those of the Rafsha people."

"Madam, are you saying that Yu Yaoming is also studying the boundaries?"

"I read his diary and some manuscripts. He is not studying the boundary. I'm afraid even Prozhou doesn't know this person. But the thing he studied is called wormhole, which can also be used as a way to cross the boundary. It's just that it's slightly different from our previous method." "How is it different?" Li Banfeng became excited when he heard about the boundary.

"The method we studied before was to extinguish a section of the boundary to form a channel. If we use his wormhole, we can build a channel directly on the boundary without changing the boundary."

Li Banfeng was very surprised: "My dear, can this method be researched?"

"My husband, if we just look at the algorithm, it's not a big deal, but if we want to make a channel, it's far from enough. I still don't know how to operate these algorithms."

It would be difficult for my wife to just rely on theoretical research. Li Banfeng hugged the record player and said, "My dear, do you want to go to Yu Yaoming's laboratory to take a look?"

The lady blew out a cloud of steam and walked around Li Banfeng and said, "I really want to go, but I'm afraid the old man won't agree."

"That's easy!" Li Banfeng walked into the third room and said with a smile, "Old man, I've got a lot of good things recently. Can I take my wife out for some fresh air?"

The old man was studying the Tianxin Stone these past two days. He also heard what Li Banfeng and the record player said: "It's okay to let her go out and see it, but she can't stay for more than two hours, and she can't take the techniques out."

"Let the lady take some skills with her so that she can protect herself!"

"No, there's no room for negotiation!"

If he was not allowed to bring it, then he didn't. Li Banfeng first went to Yu Yaoming's laboratory, knocked down the guards around him with a music box, and then asked them to set up the projector and camera.

After entering the laboratory, Li Banfeng took out the record player from his personal space.

The record player looked at the equipment in front of him, unable to utter a word for a long while: "These, my little slave, I don't recognize any of them."

She definitely doesn’t know it. This is a high-end laboratory, and even Li Banfeng doesn’t recognize most of the equipment.

"Ma'am, just watch first while I look for an instruction manual or something."

The equipment manual actually existed, it was all placed in the file cabinet. I flipped through it, and beads of sweat fell from the speaker one by one.

“This is not easy to learn!”

"Let's learn slowly, there's no need to rush."

He said he would learn slowly, but the singer knew in his heart that this was not a place that one could come to whenever one wanted. Li Banfeng took a lot of risks every time he went in and out.

"My dear, can you please ask our lazy pen to copy down all these books? I will take them home and study them slowly."

Li Banfeng looked at the thickness of the manual, then at the number of words on each page, and shook his head, saying, "If we let him copy it, I don't know how long it will take to pay off the cost. Let's just take the manual away!"

"Is this possible? It's hard to explain to my husband outside."

Li Banfeng looked out the window and saw that the agents in the dark matter research laboratory were still sleeping soundly.

"It's okay. I'll find someone to explain it for me."

The record player was puzzled: "My dear husband, is there anyone who can explain this matter?"

"Yes, it's not just this matter," Li Banfeng looked around the entire laboratory, "There are so many good things, and they all need to be explained."

The record player was startled: "Husband, do you want to move all these things away?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "Since it is related to the boundary, these good things cannot be left here."

"But, but our house can't accommodate them all!" The record player looked at several large devices, which were bigger than an entire room in the portable home.

"It can fit! The old man will definitely find a way, hehe!" Li Banfeng laughed a few times, and the record player looked creepy.

Li Banfeng laughed louder and louder because he heard the sound of a whistle in his ears.

The old man was laughing with him because he really liked these things.

……

At 3:30 in the morning, Shen Jingye was awakened by a phone call.

Seeing the incoming call number, Shen Jingye rubbed his eyebrows. It was Guan Zhengyang calling.

He tiptoed out of the bedroom, afraid of waking up his wife. After answering the phone, he wanted to go back to the bedroom to say hello to his wife, but saw her sitting on the bed, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Who called you?"

"My colleague in the company, a customer wants to cancel an order, I have to go back to the company to deal with it."

"Your customers cancel their orders in the middle of the night?"

"Yeah, or else he's too much."

"Honey, am I so easy to fool?" The wife took out a fruit knife from under the pillow and pointed at Shen Jingye, "Where on earth are you going?"

"Put down the knife first, and let's talk slowly. This client of mine is very important. If we offend him, all our sales this year will go to waste!"

“Is your client a man or a woman?”

"It's a man, it's really a man. I'll bring him home someday and have a meal together."

"Why did you bring a man home? Do you like men?" The daughter-in-law walked over step by step with a knife.

……

Half an hour later, Shen Jingye arrived at the door of his house with a bandage on his hand.

The daughter-in-law followed behind him and said softly, "Dear, don't work too hard. If the customer really wants to cancel the order, we will refund it for them. Don't hurt the relationship."

Shen Jingye nodded repeatedly: "I'll do as you say."

"Honey, I'll make you whatever you want to eat tonight."

"You can eat whatever you want."

The wife pulled out the fruit knife and said, "Are you just trying to fool me?"

Shen Jingye turned around and smiled, "I love everything you cook."

The wife stabbed the knife into Shen Jingye's neck: "You can come up with such a cliché excuse?"

……

At five in the morning, Shen Jingye rushed to the laboratory from the hospital with a piece of gauze on his neck.

He called Li Qi, but the call was unresolved. When he arrived at the laboratory, Guan Zhengyang was very angry: "Director Shen, what time is it now? When did you receive the call? Why did you just come here now?"

Sometimes Shen Jingye really feels lucky for Guan Zhengyang. If Li Qi were here now, Guan Zhengyang’s situation would be hard to imagine.

Seeing that Shen Jingye had a wound on his neck, Guan Zhengyang didn't say much. He called the person in charge of the dark matter research laboratory and briefly introduced the situation.

The situation was simple. The guards were on duty 24 hours a day, and the surveillance video did not reveal anything unusual. However, a room full of equipment in the laboratory had disappeared.

Shen Jingye asked: "Did you find any clues at the scene?"

The head of the Dark Matter Research Laboratory explained: "All the on-site guards have been questioned, and we have also retrieved the surveillance video, which can basically rule out..."

"Exclude? What else can you exclude?" Guan Zhengyang asked impatiently, "Do you even need to think about it? It must have been Du Wenming who did it!"

Logically speaking, given his status, he shouldn't say such things so easily, as this would obviously interfere with the investigation.

But his younger brother is missing and may have died at the hands of Du Wenming. Based on this incident, it is difficult for Guan Zhengyang to remain sane.

Shen Jingye said: "Director Guan, some issues need further verification, and the on-site investigation has just begun..."

"Still investigating? How long will it take? This was obviously done by Du Wenming. His subordinates, the Ferry Gang, Snow Flower Village, and the Birch Hermitage are all involved! You made a serious mistake in the process of arresting Du Wenming before, otherwise what happened today would not have happened. This time the laboratory was stolen, you must take responsibility..."

"Whose responsibility is it?" Shen Jingye suddenly interrupted Guan Zhengyang. His gloomy expression made Guan Zhengyang unconsciously distance himself from Shen Jingye.

"Could it be that the Dark Star Bureau has no responsibility at all?" Guan Zhengyang's voice was a little low.

Shen Jingye looked at Guan Zhengyang and asked, "Whose responsibility is it to guard the laboratory?"

Being questioned by Shen Jingye in public, Guan Zhengyang felt a little embarrassed: "In short, this case must be handled quickly..."

Shen Jingye arranged for the Dark Star Bureau to conduct an on-site investigation. He looked at the head of the dark matter research laboratory and a group of agents and sighed softly.

The Dark Matter Research Laboratory is probably no longer an institution.

At seven o'clock, Shen Jingye called Li Qi again, but the call still couldn't go through. What was Li Qi busy with?
……

Li Banfeng arrived at Qiqiu City and spent more than two hours to find a traditional dark dimension space where the inside and the outside could not be seen.

After entering the space, Li Banfeng began to unload the goods. All the equipment, big and small, was unloaded. Li Banfeng then restored them one by one according to the images recorded by the projector.

The whole family was busy, and everything was ready. Li Banfeng carried his wife out and said, "My dear, are you satisfied with this place?"

The record player looked around. This laboratory had no lights, no floors, and no walls. It looked a bit simple, but the lady really liked it.

"Can I come here more often in the future?"

"Yes! From now on, my wife will do research here."

"I'm afraid the old man won't agree."

"Our old man is a flexible person. We will discuss it with him when the time comes."

The only problem now is power supply. Li Banfeng plans to go to Du Wenming's laboratory to move the battery pack over.

"Madam, you don't need to follow me. Just study the equipment here."

The record player used its speaker to suck Li Banfeng in: "My husband, do you trust me so much?"

"How can I not trust my own wife?" Li Banfeng gently held the loud speaker, "We have to live a happy life. The world is so big, we have to make a good living as a couple in the future!"

PS: In Chapter 75, Shopkeeper Feng introduced the origin of the record player to Li Banfeng.
