Chapter 162 Angry Feng Zhang

On the evening of the 20th day of the first lunar month, Feng Xun, the deputy soldiers of Daxie Village, hurriedly returned from Dengzhou. He was dressed in a long silk gown and dressed in a wealthy businessman's outfit, and the long white cloak hanging from his shoulders swayed with his rapid steps.

He rushed to Feng Zhang's study with a heavy face, drank a cup of hot tea in one breath, and said gasping: "It turns out that rumor is circulating in many places in Dengzhou City. It is said that Uncle Feng and Wulang were not killed by the pirates in Zhendonghai at the beginning, but Cui Yunqing was in charge of the behind-the-scenes commander, and Li Jing personally brought it into the ambush and assassination." He wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth, "We heard the legends at the dock at the beginning, and later in several restaurants and inns in the city, we also heard the similar rumors."

It was like a cold hand suddenly strangled Feng Zhang's heart. The corners of his mouth trembled, suppressing his anger and said, "Does these rumors have evidence?"

There was a rumor on the southern island of Daxiezhai. The first governor of Dengzhai, Shi Feng Yanqing, did not die at the hands of a pirate, but for another reason, saying that Li Jing, who killed Feng Yanqing. This sudden rumors made Feng Zhang very angry. Feng Yanqing was his cousin, and he had already died long ago, but now he still used him to make a fuss. He felt that these rumors were spread by Wang Jin or Wang Jingwen, and the purpose must be to lure him to deal with Li Jing.

At first he didn't want to pay attention to this rumor, but who knew that the rumor became more and more powerful. Wu Liangyao, the whole Da Xie Village knew about it. Many Feng clans on the island came to ask him if they knew about it. They also vaguely blamed him and did not avenge Feng Yanqing. Later, it even caused another rumor, saying that Feng Zhang was afraid of the backer behind Li Jing and did not dare to offend Yu Wen, Li Yin, Cui Yunqing and Song Wei. He also said that he had personally sent tens of thousands of yuan of money to Li Jing in the first few rips.

As long as this rumor was gone, Feng Zhang could no longer sit still. While looking for rumors to spread, he sent Feng Xun to Dengzhou to inquire about the situation.

"There is evidence!" Feng Xun said: "After I arrived in Dengzhou, I did not reveal my identity, but pretended to be a customer and temporarily moved into an inconspicuous inn. But as soon as I moved in, I immediately entered my room and threw down a pack of things. I opened it and saw a letter in it, which was written about all the doubts about my uncle's death. Then I also sent some evidence they believed, including the killing token that was incompatible with the Zhendonghai earthquake killing order, as well as the armor-breaking arrow branches and other items scattered on the scene. I have confirmed all these things, not imitated them, they should be true."

Feng Zhang looked angry, "Do you know who spread the rumors? Is this matter related to Wang Jin?"

"I'm afraid yes." Feng Xunhui replied, "Although I haven't found conclusive evidence of Wang's spread of rumors, according to my observations, it can be basically determined that Wang Jingwen was secretly promoting this matter. Even if the source of the rumors was not distributed by Wang Jingwu, the rumor could have such momentum in a short period of time, which is definitely related to Wang Jingwen's strong promotion."

"Damn old guy!" Feng Zhang cursed loudly, "He retreated without eggs, but now he plans to let us rush forward for them? Dalang, we can basically confirm that the incident of the pirates attack last time was related to Wang Jin. Why did Wang Jin suddenly retreat? I heard that all the business of the Wang family on Shamen Island was seized by Li Jing, but Wang Jin not only did not make any farts, but it is said that he also gave Li Jing money. What agreement has been reached? Have you found out the specific details? We have to be careful not to sell us the damn old thief and we will count the money for him."

The Feng family was still far above the Wang family. However, the Wang family had firmly grasped the military power of the Qingzhou Yajun over the years and suddenly became shaking. The Feng family had to reach an alliance with him to fight against the Cui Han family, but in this way, many times they had to act according to the face of the Wang family.

Feng Xun said with a ugly face: "I bought several managers and officials of the Wang family and did find out some information. It is said that Wang Jin's general, Wang Fu, suddenly left, and has not seen him again. Wang Jin only told Ru Lin that Wang Fu had returned to Qingzhou, but Wang's family said that when Wang Fu left, he went to Dengzhou Wharf to take a boat out of the sea. There were also many hidden businesses on Shamen Island. It is not clear what it was. According to the information I obtained, the Wang family had a secret workshop on the island, which is very likely an ordnance workshop. In the past, the Wang family had many guards on Shamen Island, but I heard a news that it was said that a sea ship of the Wang family suddenly capsized on the sea, and more than 200 people on the boat were all dead."

"Also, it is said that the second pirate attacker Li Jing gave Wang Jin a gift, which was three very luxurious wooden boxes. After Wang Jin received this gift, he reached an agreement with Li Jing not long after. I don't know the specific content of the agreement, but the Wang family returned to Shuicheng, and not only did they no longer pursue Li Jing's confiscation of the shops and warehouses on their Shamen Island, but instead sent Li Jing the goods of several large ships. It is said that the batch of supplies is worth 50,000 jin."

"Are you saying that Wang Jin has a handle falling into Li Jing's hands?" Feng Zhang asked suddenly, "Did Wang Jin really recruit Wang Fu, and then Wang Fu fell into Li Jing's hands? What other handle did Li Jing get that was very unfavorable to Wang Jin?"

"It's indeed possible?" Feng Xun replied, "But I'm a little puzzled. If Li Jing really had such a handle, why wouldn't he give it to Song Wen or Cui Yunqing directly? That wouldn't he be able to deal with Wang Jin directly, and Bi Jing colluded with pirates to attack the official army, which is not a minor crime."

Feng Zhang shook his head: "Things are not that simple. Even if Li Jing really does this now, Song Wen will probably not do anything to Wang Jin. Li Jing is a smart person. He must have seen this, so he did not reveal this matter, but chose to make a deal with Wang Jin. Damn Li Jing, Damn Wang Jin, why didn't they fight?"

"What should we do now?"

Feng Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Of course we can't let Li Jing go. This kid is extremely arrogant and doesn't take me seriously after he arrives at Shamen Island. If this continues, he has the final say in the future, or I have the final say in this great fortress. What's more, he is suspected of killing your uncle and the fifth brother. If Feng Zhang does not avenge this revenge, how can he face the family members in the future? How can he go back to the clan to face your aunt and the others?"

"But now that Wang Jin has retreated, will we be the one who hit the Wang family's trick?"

"If it is not clear, we can still come to the dark." After saying this, Feng Zhang stopped talking. He was waiting for Feng Xun to think about it himself. Feng Xun is the eldest son of the young generation of the Feng family, and has always been outstanding. Compared with Feng Liang and Feng Ming, two people who only know how to be brave and fierce, Feng Xun obviously has no lack of courage, but also has a steady temperament. However, Feng Xun cannot stand alone yet, and he still lacks self-consideration. The Feng family intends to train Feng Xun to become the head of the next generation of the Feng family, so he was allowed to experience it in the army. He was so young that he was already the deputy envoy of Da Xie Fort just after thirty. Although the Feng family helped it, it was inseparable from his efforts and ability. Looking at the young generation of major families in Ziqing Town, there are many brave people, but not many of them are brave and strategic.

After a long time, Feng Xun, who had been thinking hard, suddenly said: "When I was in Dengzhou, I accidentally heard a news that there was a batch of mysterious goods loading on the Dengzhou Wharf. I thought it was strange and spent some money to inquire. But I actually learned that it was a batch of weapons to be sent to Shamen Town. It is said that a total of 1,000 sets of weapons, not only were they equipped with horizontal swords, spears, long bows and other weapons, but also good goods such as modao and heavy crossbows and iron armor."

"Is this happening?" Feng Zhang was stunned. Shamen Island was under his jurisdiction. He had been stuck in Li Jing's equipment in order not to give Li Jing a chance to grow and grow. He just heard that a military instrument workshop in the Wang family might have been brought over by Li Jing, and he was already very dissatisfied. If Li Jing suddenly got such a thousand sets of good equipment, then he could arm a thousand horses at any time, which would pose a great threat to him.

"I also found it strange at the time. After careful inquiring, I learned that the batch of military weapons was said to have been replaced by the Dengzhou navy. But for some reason, Song Wen did not give this batch of equipment to Wang Jin, but instead sold it to Li Jing privately for 50,000 jin. I heard that Li Jing had already paid the money, and now that the goods were all available, Song Wen immediately prepared to deliver the goods to Li Jing."

Feng Zhangshen moved, stroked the short moustache under his jaw, and was stunned.

After a long time, he slapped his thigh and laughed, "I really helped me. I was worried that I would not have the chance to deal with Li Jing. Lao Yao immediately sent me such a good opportunity. Dalang, do you know when that batch of goods will leave the port?"

"As soon as Mingyao shines, the goods go straight to Shamen Island. There is only one ship, no banner, and it looks just an ordinary merchant ship. It seems that Song Wen doesn't want to let the goods not to be known."

Feng Zhang smiled proudly and slapped his hands, "Dalang, go and prepare immediately, bring a few small boats and dozens of brothers, remember not to let the people recognize their identities. Mingyao early in the morning, you rushed directly to wait not far outside Dengzhou Water City. As soon as you saw that boat appeared, you immediately robbed the boat back. Remember, you must take action on the navy's territory."

Feng Xun also laughed, "I understand that at that time, I will accidentally leave some items that should belong to the Dengzhou Navy."

"Stop it when you are ready, don't make it too obvious, then you will see it through with a thoughtful look."
