Chapter 8: The Crippled Golden Peng King

  "It seems that the great Golden Peng Wang is probably fake, then the Shangguan Danfeng is also fake." Li Yunfei thought for a moment and said: "Haha, Lu Xiaofeng, you will die at the hands of women sooner or later."

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "In my lifetime, I have never seen anyone with six toes on both feet. If there were no such people in the world, how could we find the Golden Roc King? Even if what Mr. Yan said was a lie, it would become true."

  Li Yunfei said: "I'm getting more and more curious now, let's go check it out. I also want to see how Lu Xiaofeng was played."

  Lu Xiaofeng's face changed, and he dryly laughed: "Ah! Brother Li, if you don't take advantage of me, won't you feel uncomfortable? I also don't want to be used by others. Moreover, it's still unclear who is telling lies now."

  Hua Manlou smiled lightly and said: "Let's go to Da Jinping Wang and take a look, I've always been curious, who is telling lies?"

  They walked out of Yan Tieshan's yard, and at this time Li Yunfei suddenly asked: "Lu brother, do you have any way to take off the boots of King Jinpeng?"

  Lü Xiao Feng shook his head and said: "I've thought of many ways, but I don't know which one to use."

  Hua Man Lou asked curiously: "Tell us about the two kinds."

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "I can deliberately knock over a jug of water, pour it on his feet, or praise his boots for being good-looking, ask him to take them off and let me have a look."

  Li Yunfei laughed and said: "Do you know how stupid this method of yours is?"

  Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said: "This is indeed a stupid thing, what can I do?"

  The first time he came to this so-called Golden Peng Wangfu, Li Yunfei had already had ideas in his heart. The plot has returned to the starting point again. His heart began to calm down. In his previous life, he wouldn't know anything, let alone become friends with Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou. Li Yunfei felt very happy, after all, he was getting stronger and stronger now. After the plot is completed, he wants to try a hand with Lu Xiaofeng and test his own strength.

  At this time, the door opened and Da Jinpeng Wang was still sitting in that wide and comfortable chair. The expression on his face looked excited and urgent. Without waiting for them to enter, he asked: "Have you found those three traitors?"

  Lu Xiaofeng said softly: "Found it." Lu Xiaofeng should be very good at lying, he lies with a straight face. His expression didn't change at all.

  Dajin Peng Wang's eyes gleamed with light as he asked, "Where are they?"

  Li Yunfei asked: "This is not urgent, I just want to know, how many toes do the royal family of the Golden Peng Dynasty have on their feet?"

  The Great Golden Peng King's face changed and he smiled with a hint of concealment: "We, the royal family of the Golden Peng Kingdom, have six toes."

  Lu Xiaofeng did not see Da Jinpeng Wang's feet because his knees were covered with a thin quilt, he seemed to be afraid of the cold.

  Suddenly, Hua Manlou said: "I want to see Zhu Ting now, where is he?"

  Dajin Pengwang frowned and said: "I was going to ask you too, I invited him twice but he didn't come either time."

  "Hua Manlou thought for a moment and said: 'Perhaps he was just a lazy person from the start.'"

  Lu Xiaofeng suddenly did something stupid, he suddenly lifted up the quilt of Da Jinpeng Wang, then he just stood there foolishly, under Da Jinpeng Wang's feet was actually empty, his foot had been sawed off.

  Dajin Peng Wang said: "Are you wondering how my foot was sawed off?"

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly and nodded.

  "Where's your foot that was cut off?" Li Yunfei suddenly asked.

  "If you had come a few days earlier, I would have shown it to you, but I've already burned it."

  Lu Xiaofeng suddenly froze, like a fool.

  Li Yunfei suddenly asked: "Excuse me, King Jinpeng, have you ever worn boots before?"

  Dajin Peng Wang stared blankly and said: "There is. Does this young hero have any questions?"

  Li Yunfei coldly smiled and said: "Of course there is, a person with six toes on one foot, the boots he wears must be different from ordinary people's."

  The great king Pong again hesitated and said: "Those boots... were also burned, my feet are like this now, seeing the old boots makes me sad. I had them burned, alas! I'm old, my memory is bad, I actually forgot that the boots were burned. How embarrassing!"

  "Hua Man Lou smiled and said: 'Then we'll take our leave first. Goodbye!'"

  They walked out together, Li Yunfei asked in confusion: "Since the Great Golden Peng Wang has already shown his hand, why does Brother Hua want to leave first?"

  Hua Manlou said: "Brother Li, no need to be polite, just call me Qiutong."

  Li Yunfei smiled and said: "Of course, Qi Tong is being polite, you can just call me Yunfei."

  Hua Manlou said, "I also know that the Great Golden Peng King is fake, but we can't get to the bottom of it. Why don't we look for clues in the Golden Peng King's mansion instead?"

  Li Yunfei smiled and said: "Right! I have a clue, let's see what Xiaofeng can do."

  Lu Xiaofeng looked at Li Yunfei and asked: "Yunfei, what skill do you want me to use?"

  Li Yunfei said: "Your greatest skill, you should know what I'm talking about, right?"

  Lu Xiaofeng pulled Li Yunfei and said: "Yunfei ah, don't sell official business anymore, tell me! Speak!"

  Li Yunfei chuckled and said, "Little Feng, your greatest skill is with women, right? If Shangguan Danfeng is a descendant of the Golden Roc King, she must have six toes. Why don't you take off her shoes and see if it's true or not? Lu Xiaofeng, I believe in your skills!"

  Three people walked and talked along the way. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I want to find someone who can solve my problem."

  Li Yunfei asked: "Who else can solve our problem?"

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Shangguan Xue'er!"

  "Shangguan Xuer?" Li Yunfei asked. He didn't want Lu Xiaofeng to think it strange that he knew everything.

  Hua Man Lou smiled and said: "That Shangguan Xue'er is his little cousin, isn't she?"

  "Haha, Lu Xiaofeng has a little sister? How come I didn't know?" Li Yunfei said with a smile.

  "You'll know when the time comes, I'll give you a surprise," said Hua Manlou.

  Three people walked around the Golden Peng Wang Fu to find Shangguan Xue'er, and finally saw her in a small courtyard in the backyard. She was alone, squatting in the backyard with her eyes fixed on the empty space in front of her, somewhat distracted.

  Lu Xiaofeng walked up with a smile and said: "Little sister, what are you doing?"

  Li Yunfei couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the little girl: "I didn't expect this to be Lu Xiaofeng's little sister, I was really startled."

  Xue Er neither turned her head nor spoke, just crouched there, and Lu Xiao Feng's curiosity was piqued.

  Lu Xiaofeng crouched down and looked in the direction Snow was looking, but he didn't see anything. In front of him was a barren land without even a single blade of grass.

  But it was this very lack of hair that caught the attention of these two people.

  Li Yunfei asked: "Xue'er, what are you looking at? Can you tell us?"

  Xue Er was stunned for a long time, not saying a word. Just when Li Yunfei thought he would have to bring up the matter of burying the body himself, Xue Er suddenly said: "This is where my grandfather used to sit in meditation and practice Zen when he was alive. Since my grandfather passed away, no one has come here again."

  Lu Xiaofeng finally couldn't help but ask: "Then what are you doing here? There's nothing here."

  Xue Er asked back: "What are you doing here again?"

  Li Yunfei smiled and said: "We are here to find you, we have some questions to ask you?"

  Xue Er coldly said to Lu Xiao Feng: "You didn't believe me before, so why are you looking for me now?"

  Li Yunfei smiled and said: "This Lu Xiaojie doesn't believe you, but Qi Tong and I do. What's going on? You can tell us."

  "What questions do you have? Ask quickly!" Xue Er said: "I'll tell you what I know?"

  "Lu Xiaofeng asked: 'When was the last time you saw your sister?'"

  "Was it the day you brought back a house full of flowers?" Xue Er thought for a moment and said, "It was also the day we went out to look for you."

  "Have you seen her again since you came back?" asked Hua Man Lou.

  Her face was tinged with a hint of sadness as she said, "Is he usually like that?"

  Xue Er thought for a long time and said: "In the past, he didn't often go out. After his grandfather died, he grew up and would often not come back for half a month."

  Li Yunfei also asked: "Doesn't your uncle take care of her?"

  Xue Er said: "He wants to control but can't, once he locked my sister in the room, my sister also found a way to escape."

  "Is your uncle good to her?"

  Xue Er became excited and said: "It's not good, he always scolds my sister. He says she has ruined the reputation of the Shangguan family. But my sister doesn't believe him. It's because of this that I suspect he might have harmed my sister."

  Hua Man Lou said: "Your sister is not dead. I saw her recently."

  Xue Er looked very excited and shouted: "You are blind, you can't see my sister."

  Hua Man Lou was said by someone like this but he didn't get angry instead smiled and said: "I can hear her voice when she speaks!"

  Xue Er's face suddenly changed, and she said: "That must be Shangguan Danfeng impersonating her. The two of them originally looked very similar, and when they were young, they often imitated each other's voices. Once, she covered her face and spoke in my sister's voice, even I was deceived. Oh! I know it was her who killed my sister, it was Shangguan Danfeng."

  Xue'er hastily said: "It must be her who killed my sister, and intentionally impersonated my sister at Huaman Building, making you think my sister didn't die!"

  Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said to Li Yunfei and Hua Manlou: "Snow's words are indeed absurd, but they're not impossible."

  Xue Er pulled Li Yun Fei's hand and said: "Big brother, I know you're a good person, you must help me!"

  Li Yunfeng stroked Xue'er's head and asked: "What's wrong? If I can help, I'll definitely help."

  Xue Er said: "Help me dig out my sister's body."

  Li Yunfei asked: "Do you know where your sister's body is?"

  Xue Er said: "It must be here, I used to look for it in the garden, but I couldn't find it. Now I realize that she must have killed my sister here and buried her here."

  Lu Xiaofeng sighed and asked: "How did you find out?"

  Li Yunfei said: "Xiaofeng, have you found anything strange here?"

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's strange about it?"

  Li Yunfei laughed and said, "You see, there's not even a single blade of grass here, and after all this time, not a single bird has stopped to rest. What's more, it's not just that no birds have come, but look, there isn't even a single insect. Don't you find that strange?"

  Xue Er hastily said: "Really? I've been here for two hours, not even an ant, this place used to have a lot of ants."

  Li Yunfei said: "It must be that there is something underground. Maybe Xue'er was right, maybe her sister was poisoned and buried here?"

  Huā Mǎn Lóu said: "Yún Fēi, you and Xuě ér go fetch the hoes, I'll wait here with Xiǎo Fèng."
