Chapter 267 - 127 Zheng Chuan: He can find this out?_6

"So, does anyone want to come forward and confess?"

After hearing this, the three men exchanged glances, but none of them moved.

After waiting a while, with no one stepping forward, Peng Shizhong waved his hand weakly, "Then you may all leave."

"Cough cough..."

Peng Shizhong coughed desperately.

Seeing Peng Shizhong like this, the three men exchanged glances again and turned to leave.

Peng Shizhong watched their retreating figures, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Once out of White Tiger Hall, Feng Xuan looked at Zheng Chuan and said, "Second Brother, it was you who did it, wasn’t it?"

Zheng Chuan turned to Feng Xuan and said, "Why do I feel like it’s your handiwork?"

Feng Xuan said, "I’m not beastly enough to kill Fourth Brother."

"Could I kill Fourth Brother?"

Zheng Chuan got angry as well.

"Alright, alright, my two brothers, I feel like this is definitely a misunderstanding," Lu Rong persuaded.

Feng Xuan and Zheng Chuan parted ways, and Zheng Chuan scoffed, "Old Master, stop pretending. Darugachi Mansion is already investigating; you can’t escape."

Feng Xuan laughed in response, "That’s right, can’t escape!"

The two men exchanged a glance and separated.

Lu Rong scratched his head, puzzled about how good brothers could end up like this.

Zheng Chuan returned to the mansion and then saw Little Knife waiting for him.

"What’s wrong, was there trouble at the mine?"

Little Knife nodded, "Qian Shun, that spineless fool, almost confessed. I shot him before he could speak."

Zheng Chuan frowned, "Chen Jiusi is indeed capable, to be able to trace it to the mines just from one account book."

"Do you want me to kill him?"

"You can’t kill him!"

"A person always has flaws; I can definitely kill him!"

"We don’t have time to wait for him to show his flaws. You need to do something for me right away."

"What’s that?"

"Tongyuan Line."

"To kill and silence someone?"

"Make it look like a suicide."

"Understood."

Little Knife agreed immediately.

At that moment, Zheng Chuan’s eyes narrowed, realizing that for one to succeed, many must pay the price.

Fourth Brother, Old Master, don’t blame me!

Meanwhile, at Feng Xuan’s Mansion.

Feng Xuan stood by the pond, holding fish food in his hand, scattering it into the water.

As he threw a handful of fish food into the pond, the fish boiled up in a frenzy. Observing the turbulent pond, Feng Xuan said, "In this world, everybody hustles for profit. Funny, how interesting."

Feng Xuan was feeding the fish when suddenly someone hurried in.

It was his trusted aide, Si Xi.

Si Xi handed a bamboo tube to Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan took it and, after a glance, said, "Got a bite."

He then tore open the note and followed up with, "Proceed with the plan."

"Yes."

Si Xi hurried away, and another person appeared behind Feng Xuan.

"Do you need me to take action?"

"No need, we are the victims," Feng Xuan said, continuing to feed the fish.

The man withdrew to the side, silent. This was Fa Cai, Feng Xuan’s other strong arm.

Si Xi was the strategist, and Fa Cai the assassin; one for wisdom, the other for warfare—Feng Xuan’s two trusted lieutenants.

At that time!

Zhou Chu was leading people all over the place to investigate Tongyuan Line, finding nothing after much inquiry. Just as he was at a loss, two familiar faces, who were on duty at White Tiger Hall, came from afar.

"Hey, Sixth Master, what are you doing?"

Zhou Chu replied, "Oh, it’s you guys. Nothing, just looking for a trading company on the street."

"Trading company? Which one?"

"Tongyuan Line."

"Tongyuan Line?"

The two men were taken aback and shared a glance.

"Do you know it?" Zhou Chu asked.

"If you hadn’t asked today, Sixth Master, you could have run your legs off and still not found it."

"Oh? Why’s that?"

Zhou Chu perked up, to which the two men said, "Because it has changed its name to Tongtai Trading Company. That’s it!"

Zhou Chu looked up to see a huge trading company sign that read: Tongtai.

He had walked past it earlier, not realizing it was right before his eyes.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chu said to the two men, "How do you two know about it?"

"Well, it’s our Old Master’s business."

"My big brother? Feng Xuan?"

"Yes, it used to be called Tongyuan Line, it was just later renamed to Tongtai. We used to follow the Old Master and worked for Tongyuan Line, so of course, we know."

The two men explained.

That moment, Zhou Chu’s eyes widened, "So it’s Big Brother’s!"

"By the way, brothers, do you know who the shopkeeper of Tongyuan Line is?"

"His surname is Wang. He lives on Peace Street, the fourth house. His name is Wang Dafa."

"Alright brothers, thank you."

Zhou Chu gave a salute and then rushed back hurriedly. He had to pass this information to Chen Jie as soon as possible. If Tongyuan Line turned out to be Feng Xuan’s business, it meant that Feng Xuan was in cahoots with Qian Shun, selling iron illegally. Having been discovered by Deng Guangming, Feng Xuan had taken the drastic step to murder.

This beast, to even lay hands on his sworn brother!

Zhou Chu rushed back frantically; the mastermind behind it all was Feng Xuan.

But he didn’t rush to find Wang Dafa; all of this still needed Jiu Si’s decision.

Watching Zhou Chu hurrying off, the two who had shared the information with Zhou Chu looked at each other and walked towards a corner.

There was a vendor selling cloth shoes; the two went up to him, crouched down, and casually fiddled with the cloth shoes.

"Manager, the task is complete."

Hearing this, the shoe vendor replied, "Mm, let’s go."

"Okay."

Having said that, the two rose and walked off in different directions, and the shoe vendor raised his head, revealing a rather fair face—it was Si Xi, known to Chen Jie.

Soon two more people arrived, saying, "Little Knife has set out. Wang Dafa will be home in half an hour."

"Half an hour? Hmm, just right, just in time for Fifth Master to arrive."

Si Xi smiled in a harmlessly deceptive way!
