Chapter 125 Uninvited Guest (1)
When the officers and soldiers of the brigade arrived at Zeng's old house, the house was wide open and the courtyard was empty.

In the house, books, pens and paper were scattered; in the hall, the tables, chairs and stools were also crumbling.The entire Zeng residence was in a mess, as if it had just been ransacked.

Seeing this situation, King Su couldn't help but sigh in regret: "It's too late! Let these villains escape again!"

"It was a step too late," Feng Shen said, "But their escape proved that the Third Master Zeng was indeed related to the Clingy Remnant Party. My lord, since this is the lair of gangsters, there must be some clues left behind."

"Yes!" King Su agreed deeply, and ordered the soldier to say, "Sift through the house again carefully. Don't let any corners go!"

"Yes!" All the officers and soldiers were ordered to spread out.One by one, they went through the house, rummaging through boxes and chests to find them.

Although the house was in chaos, nothing of value was left behind.Not only the gold and silver were fine and soft, but even the calligraphy and paintings on the walls and the antiques between the shelves were swept away.Finally, the soldiers searched the back garden and found a cellar.

This kind of cellar is also common in the north.A pit is dug under the ground, the bottom of the cellar is supported by wooden sticks, and the top of the cellar is covered with straw, which are mostly used for storing vegetables and wine.However, ordinary cellars only need to be covered with a rolling pan.But here at Zeng's house, the entrance was cast in the shape of an iron gate.

On the iron door, hung a big brass lock.After the two soldiers broke the lock, they went down to the cellar.After a while, a heavily tied man was dragged from inside.

The man was blindfolded. Although the clothes on his body were filthy and tattered, they couldn't hide their original quality.

A soldier knew the goods, and opened his mouth and said: "Yo ho? His outfit is not bad? Look at the stitches, it is definitely the craftsmanship of 'Rui Fuxiang'!"

"Look at him," said the one next to him, "It's probably a rich man who was taken captive..."

"Spare my life, man! Spare my life, man!" the man suddenly yelled, "I will give you whatever you want...just please don't kill me, man..."

"What's the mess?" The soldiers were about to shout, but they heard the sound of boots behind them.It turned out that King Su and Feng Shen came here after hearing the news.

"What's going on?" Feng Shen asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

The soldiers stepped forward and said loudly: "Return to Feng for inspection, this man was tied up in the cellar..."

"Feng Xunjian!?" Before the soldiers could finish reporting, the man interrupted. "Could it be...Could it be my brother Feng Shenfeng!? That's great! Heaven has eyes!"

Just after the fight, Feng Shen felt that this man looked familiar, he stepped forward a few steps, and pulled off the man's eye seal. "Master Zeng?"

"He is Zeng San?" King Su also asked in surprise, "How could this bandit leader be thrown in the cellar?"

"Bandit leader? What kind of bandit leader?" Third Master Zeng was dumbfounded, struggling to climb a few steps towards Feng Shen with his fat body. "Brother Feng, don't you recognize me, brother? I was framed by a traitor and almost died!"

King Su lost his mind, "Feng Shen, what's going on?"

Feng Shen frowned and said, "My lord, I'll ask after I'm in a humble position."

"My lord?" Zeng San was startled, "You're always Lord Su? Oh! This alarmed you, old man? The little one kowtowed to the lord!"

"Third Master", Feng Shen hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Kowtow first, don't be too busy, let's talk about what's going on!"

"Alas!" Before Third Master Zeng could speak, tears fell down first. "Basically, the disaster all started on that bitch Haitang!"

"Begonia?" Feng Shen asked, "Who is that?"

Third Master Zeng blushed, "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes, that bitch is a good friend of mine. Brother Feng, you also know that my brother's wife died early, and he didn't leave a son and a half daughter behind. Passing on the incense, my brother looked around. Finally, I met the one named Haitang, and I planned to fill in the house in the future..."

King Su was a little impatient, waved his hand and said, "Choose what's important and say it!"

"Yes, yes, yes," said Third Master Zeng, wiping away his tears, and choked with sobs, "After Haitang arrived at Zeng's house, he brought a big fat man called Dong Dahai, who was her natal brother. I didn't think about it at the time. I hurriedly recognized this brother-in-law-to-be. Who knew that Dong Dahai was not a decent person at all, but a wild man raised by that bitch Haitang. By mistake, I just happened to bump into... oh..."

Feng Shen urged: "Third Master, what happened next?"

"How can I swallow this breath? Even if I wrestle with that Dong Dahai," Zeng Sanye said angrily, "but that Dong Dahai is really evil. He just whistled and several big men rushed in from outside. After beating me up, I was imprisoned in this shady cellar! This pass lasted for half a year! All the food, drink, and salarity were in it. Brother Feng, tell me, brother, this is not a crime of life. ?"

After all, Zeng Sanye felt sad and cried bitterly with his mouth open.

Feng Shen was silent for a while, then he wanted to step forward and untie the rope for Third Master Zeng.

"Wait," Su Wang stopped, "Feng Shen, how do you know what he said is not a lie?"

"Back to the prince," Feng Shen said, "According to my humble guess, there are actually two 'Third Master Zeng'!"

"There are two Zengsan?" Su Wang wondered, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes," Feng Shen nodded, "In retrospect, although the bandit leader has the same face as Mr. Zeng, his reaction after seeing the lowly position is quite different. In connection with what Mr. Zeng said just now, the lowly position is even more powerful. It is concluded that these two 'Third Master Zeng' are divided into one true and the other false!"

"One true and one false?" King Su asked again, "But which one is true and which one is false?"

"My lord, wait a moment," Feng Shen turned to Zeng Sandao, "Third Lord, do you still remember what Dong Dahai looked like?"

"I recognize him even after being burned to ashes!" Third Master Zeng was full of anger, "That kid is fat and big, and his stature is about the same as mine..."

"Wait," Feng Shen interrupted, "So, you two are quite similar in height, short, fat and thin?"

"Yes!" Zeng Sanye said angrily, "I only hate that I have blind eyes. Back then, I didn't see through his wolfish ambitions, and I often gave him some personal clothes to wear. Sigh! I was really blind back then!"

"That's it," Feng Shen said, "If you want to come to the commander of the sticky pole, it is the 'Dong Dahai' that Zeng Sanye said!"

King Su said, "How do you say that?"

Feng Shendao: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Those gangsters are scheming, and the one who is the most skilled is Yi Rong Qiao Sheng. The villain Qing Mei killed the innkeeper and replaced him. People noticed! This time, Dong Dahai probably repeated his old tricks, using the disguise technique to pretend to be Third Master Zeng to deceive people!"

"I'll just say it!" Zeng Sanye said angrily, "I've always wondered, there are so many nursing homes under my control, but no one took care of me after the accident! It turned out that the kid pretended to be me and put me in this place. The family property has been taken over! Your lord, Brother Feng, you have to make decisions for me! You must tear that villain into pieces!"

"Don't worry, third master," Feng Shen said solemnly, "Those gangsters are still involved in several murder cases, even if they escape to the ends of the earth, the imperial court will arrest them and bring them to justice!"

"That's good... that's good..." Third Master Zeng seemed to remember something, his eyes turned red with hatred. "That's right! Don't forget about that little bitch Haitang! After we catch that promiscuous whore, we must put her in a pigsty!"

"Let's talk about the future." Feng Shen said, bending down. "Third Master, let me untie the rope for you first."

Third Master Zeng loosened his body, and quickly kowtowed to King Su again. "After working hard, my lord, the little one is terrified!"

"Excuse me," King Su waved his hand, and said, "This king is nothing more than throwing grass and beating rabbits. It's a pity...it's a pity that the clues of those gangsters are all broken! Oh, Feng Shen, Since you are old acquaintances, let's say a few words of comfort to him first, the king will wait for you at the front!"

Seeing King Su depressed, Feng Shen also knew that he was anxious about chasing bandits. "My lord, don't be impatient. There is a saying that the sky net is restored, and it is not leaked. Those gangsters will be brought to justice sooner or later!"

"I hope so." King Su let out a long breath, turned around and walked away.

After King Su left, Third Master Zeng hugged Feng Shen, and said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Feng, I'm so useless in my heart! If you didn't find me today, I would be stinking in the cellar. I'm afraid no one will know!"

"Okay, third master," Feng Shen said, "it's all over, let's not talk about this..."

"No!" Zeng Sanye said, "Brother, you don't know that in the past six months, my brother has almost died of suffocation! Good brother, you are now with Lord Su, and you are both a gang member and an inspector. When the raw water is booming, whether my brother can avenge this revenge depends entirely on you!"

"I will spare no effort in chasing down the remnants of evil." Feng Shen thought for a while, then said, "But Third Master, what do you plan to do in the future?"

"What should I do?" Third Master Zeng asked in surprise.

Feng Shen said: "Just now we did a thorough investigation and found that all the furniture and antiques in the house have been looted..."

"Ah?" Third Master Zeng stared wide-eyed, "Same...didn't you leave any of them?"

"Yes," Feng Shen nodded, "Nothing was left, the Zeng's house is so big, it's just empty."

Third Master Zeng asked urgently: "Then... then where are my former employing staff?"

"I haven't seen it either," Feng Shen said. "It is estimated that the villain took your name and dismissed all irrelevant people."

Third Master Zeng's cheeks trembled twice, and a few words came out between his teeth. "These bastards!"

Seeing Third Master Zeng's clenched canthus and chewing his teeth, Feng Shen was afraid that he would be angry, so he hurriedly said a few words of comfort.

Third Master Zeng was still angry, and was about to scold again, but his stomach was growling uncontrollably.Third Master Zeng covered his stomach with embarrassment on his face. "Heh...heh...brother Feng, do you have anything to eat?"

"Eat?" Feng Shen shook his head, "I never brought it with me."
