Chapter Thirty-Two: Farewell to Old Naive and Honest Monk

  Li Yunfei heard Jin Jiuling's sigh and smiled, saying: "Captain Jin, you're wrong, there is still a clue."

  "What clue? What clue?" Jin Jiuling asked strangely.

  "Not only is there one, but also more than one." Li Yunfei continued: "Firstly, we already know that Jiang Qingxia knows her. Secondly, since she has a secret hideout here, when committing crimes elsewhere, she must have had similar hideouts too."

  Jin'er's eyes lit up as he said, "Not bad, no matter what kind of mastermind is behind the case, they can't help but have their own unique habits, and it's hard to change."

  Li Yunfei nodded and said: "That's right, so now we just need to find Jiang Zixia, and then we can find Gong Sun's wife. Moreover, they must have a lair in the South China Sea."

  "Alright, I'll send a message right away and have someone go find them."

  Li Yunfei nodded and said: "Alright, then let's trouble Captain Jin."

  Lu Xiaofeng suddenly sighed: "I just now understand why everyone says you are the number one master of the Six Panels Gate in three hundred years."

  Jin Jiuling smiled and asked, "Why?"

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because you not only know how to buy people's hearts, but also sell out your friends."

  Jin Jiuling smiled somewhat awkwardly and said with a bitter smile: "Who have I betrayed?"

  Lu Xiaofeng said, "It's all because of you and Li Yunfei!" He smiled and continued, "If it weren't for you dragging us into this mess, I wouldn't have so many troubles now. Why would I be having such a headache?"

  "However, it seems like you're about to pass on your headache to someone else."

  Li Yunfei asked: "Then who did we send the headache to?"

  Jin Jiuling smiled and said slowly: "Embroidered Flower Thief, Lady Gongsun."

  Lu Xiaofeng also smiled and said: "Then we'll go give it to her now!"

  Li Yunfei said: "Of course I'll go now, and everything else can be put aside for the time being. What's more important than catching the Embroidered Flower Thief right now?"

  "Now it's not possible, but I still have one more thing that I can't let go of?"

  "What's going on?"

  "It's about a friend."

  Li Yunfei sighed and said, "I knew you'd still want to go find the Snake King. I don't know if he'll be willing to hand over this friend of mine. Having a friend like that would definitely be great."

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "He definitely will, he will definitely recognize you as a friend."

  The King of Snakes refused to be friends with Li Yunfei. Because he had no way to make friends again, how could a dead person make friends?

  The small building was quiet, without a sound or light. The brothers in the courtyard had all been sent out to find Madame Gongsun, leaving only four people on guard, who had begun to feel strange, but none of them dared to go up and take a look. Without the Snake King's orders, no one dared to go upstairs. But Lu Xiaofeng was an exception. He was the Snake King's good friend, others couldn't enter, but he could.

  The door was ajar, Lu Xiaofeng pushed it open and went in. Li Yunfei handed him a cigarette, the cigarette had just lit up and then went out and fell down. Lu Xiaofeng's hand was already numb to the point where he couldn't even hold the cigarette.

  In the flash of fire, Li Yunfei had already seen the snake king's pair of bulging eye sockets. He was actually strangled to death on the soft couch, strangled by a bright red ribbon. The ribbon tied to Gong Sun's dagger was exactly this kind of ribbon.

  Lu Xiaofeng walked over and grasped the Snake King's hand, his body suddenly beginning to tremble violently. The room was plunged into darkness. Li Yunfei did not relight the lamp; he knew Lu Xiaofeng could no longer bear to see the Snake King's face. He too could think of nothing to comfort Lu Xiaofeng. In this deathly dark and silent atmosphere, one can truly feel how real and terrifying death is.

  It wasn't long before Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said: "Let's go, we're leaving now."

  Li Yunfei said: "Uh-huh."

  "But I won't give her headaches again." He suddenly smiled, and his smile was filled with an indescribable sadness and anger.

  Li Yunfei did not light the lamp because he could not bear to look at Lu Xiaofeng's current expression.

  Lu Xiaofeng said word by word: "I want her head to never hurt again."

  Li Yunfei understood what he meant. A person's head will never hurt again only after it has been cut off.

  Lu Xiaofeng was unwilling to take a ride, but now he was sitting in the car. As long as people are alive, they can't avoid doing things they don't want to do. He had to find a way to sleep in the car, and when he met Gong Sun's wife, he would have the energy to deal with her.

  At dawn, the horse and carriage stopped in front of a tofu shop in a small village, with the morning breeze filled with the aroma of hot soy milk.

  Li Yunfei looked at Lu Xiaofeng sitting in the carriage, lost in thought, and advised: "I know you're very sad. But even if you can't eat anything, you must drink some hot porridge."

  Lu Xiaofeng wasn't one to refuse his friends, so he agreed with a nod and said, "Alright then, Jin Duoye, you have some too."

  A few people got off the horse carriage, and the tofu shop was still lit with a dim lamp. A person was squatting in the corner, holding a bowl of hot soy milk, drinking it.

  The light shone on his head, making his head also shine. This man was a monk. He had a square face and big ears, with a very auspicious appearance. However, the clothes he wore were dirty and tattered. The pair of straw sandals on his feet were almost worn through to the bottom. He was still someone Li Yunfei knew - Honest Monk.

  Looking at the weirdest monk under the sky, Li Yunfeng laughed and asked: "Honest monk, how did you end up here? Didn't you go to Emei to look for your nephew last time?"

  The old monk looked at Li Yunfei and smiled: "If the monk can't find his nephew, he will naturally leave."

  At this time, Luk Siu-fung also entered the tofu shop. He saw Old Honest Monk smiling and asked: "Old Honest Monk, have you been up to any dishonest deeds recently?" Old Honest Monk seemed startled by his question and spilled the soy milk from his bowl.

  Lu Xiaofeng burst out laughing and said: "Looking at you, I knew you were up to no good again last night. Otherwise, why would you be so nervous when you see me?"

  "Honestly, I've only done something dishonest once in my life. Buddha is merciful, why do I always have to meet you?"

  Li Yunfei heard this and laughed, saying: "Honest monk, it seems you've done something good and now Lu Xiaofeng has come looking for you. But what can a monk like you do?"

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "What's wrong with meeting me? At least I can help you get revenge for this bowl of tofu!"

  The monk said, "Monks don't need to pay for soy milk, monks can beg for alms." He quickly drank the last mouthful of soy milk in his bowl, as if preparing to slip away.

  Lu Xiaofeng blocked his way, smiling and saying: "Even if you don't need me to pay the bill, it won't hurt to chat with me. Are you and Shangzi going to do something bad again? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

  The honest monk smiled wryly: "A scholar encountering a soldier, can't reason clearly. A monk encountering Lu Xiaofeng is even more miserable than a scholar encountering a soldier, chatting and chatting, always the monk's bad luck!"

  Li Yunfei asked: "What's wrong with you?"

  "Honestly, I'm so unlucky. In this life, there are two people I fear the most, and why did I run into you, Lu Xiaofeng today?"

  Li Yunfei asked: "You're afraid of meeting Lu Xiaofeng, who else are you still afraid of?"

  The old monk said: "Even if this person says it out loud, you absolutely won't know."

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then you say it! What if we are really?"

  The old monk hesitated for a moment before finally saying: "This person is a woman!"

  Li Yunfei laughed and said: "The monk really knows a lot of women!"

  The old monk also smiled and said: "There are not a few women who know monks."

  Li Yunfei said: "Then tell me who that woman is?"

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "It must be Ouyang Qian. He stayed at someone's place for a night, and the monk broke his vow of chastity, so he's naturally afraid to see people."

  The honest monk said: "No, it's not Ouyang, but Gongsun."

  Lu Xiaofeng exclaimed: "Grandma Gongsun."

  The honest monk was also surprised and exclaimed: "How did you know it was her? Do you recognize her too?"

  "Did you recognize her? Do you know where she is?"

  The honest monk said: "Why do you ask?"

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "I want to find her and settle the score."

  The old monk looked at him, suddenly burst out laughing. Laughed so hard that he bent over. Suddenly slipped away from Lu Xiaofeng's side. This slip had already slipped four or five zhangs away, and was still laughing four or five zhangs outside.
