Chapter 67: The Yin Group Conspiracy

Zuo Feng had not paid much attention to the brocade robe corpse before, but just as he was leaving, he felt that the arms of the brocade robe corpse looked very unnatural.

Most people would subconsciously defend themselves or cover their wounds when they were killed. But the arms of this corpse stretched out strangely, and his hands seemed to be trying to grab something. Following the direction of his palm, Zuo Feng's sight slowly fell on one of the legs of the desk.

Then a crack on the table leg caught his attention, and his palm pressed on the crack on the left leg. With a slight force of his fingers, he easily buckled a piece of wood, and a piece of paper appeared.

The three-finger-wide paper had no signs of aging, and it can be seen that the paper should still be very new, probably written recently. After unfolding the folded paper, several lines of handwriting appeared in front of him. The small characters written by a hand were so powerful that they could be seen through the back of the paper. It can be seen that the person who wrote it should be a man, and the content was also very simple, with only two lines.

"The city lord has been in seclusion for many days. When you are ready, you can send a message to me. Don't trust the Yin group easily. If there is any change, enter Yancheng." There are only two lines of words in the content. There is a seal at the back, and there is only one word on the seal, "Yu".

He stared at the note in his hand, read it many times again, and even carefully checked the back of the note. Then he slowly retracted his gaze. Several pieces of information mentioned in the note have attracted Zuo Feng's attention.

If the two pieces of information about Yancheng and the city lord are linked together, that is, the city lord mentioned in this note is the city lord of Yancheng, then this bandit must have accomplices or partners in Yancheng.

Recalling the many difficulties encountered by a group of people in the village when entering the city, and later being beaten upstairs in Weixiangzhai, all of this is really related to the last word "Yu", that is, Zhang Yu, one of the great commanders of Yancheng.

Combining the content of this note with what happened in Yancheng, Zuo Feng has deduced that Zhang Yu must have a close relationship with this group of bandits. ‘With the strength in Zhang Yu’s hands alone and this group of bandits, he has set his sights on the city lord. Obviously, there is still a big gap in strength, so he wants to rely on external help, which is the “Yintuan” mentioned in the note. ’

Zuo Feng still vaguely outlined the inside story in his mind, but there are still some things he didn’t understand. Why did the two sides suddenly turn against each other and leave the bodies of the bandits in Zuojia Village.

This “Yintuan” should be the group of gray-clothed people, and Teng Xiaoyun also said that this group of gray-clothed people should belong to the power of the Fengtian Dynasty. This means that the purpose of this group of people coming here is not only to find the whereabouts of Teng Wu in the past, but also to have some plans for Yancheng.

Yancheng is one of the important cities in the southeast of the Ye Lin Empire. If the Fengtian Dynasty wants to swallow up the Ye Lin Empire, this Yancheng is indeed a good springboard. Once the Fengtian Dynasty occupies Yancheng, then using this place as a base, whether it is to attack the main city of the Ye Lin Empire to the north, or to swallow up a large area of ​​territory to the west, it can freely transport troops.

Zuo Feng didn't care much about the war between the two countries, but if it involved the group of gray-clothed people, he could use the power of the city lord to wipe out the gray-clothed people, or at least destroy their plan. Thinking of this, Zuo Feng carefully put the note in his hand into his arms. Although there were not many words, it might play a huge role at a critical moment.

After putting the note away, a question came to his mind. The strength of this group of killers should be very strong, and they are fully capable of killing all the people here, but why did the women escape from here? If they don't want to leave any clues, wouldn't it be safer to kill everyone and burn this place to the ground?

With doubts, Zuo Feng turned back to the previous hall again. The smell here was really nauseating, but this matter involved a major matter, so Zuo Feng had to endure the surge in his chest and abdomen and searched carefully again.

This time the search was much more detailed than before, and this time he came to check with doubts, and soon he made a new discovery. There were several corpses in the hall that caught Zuo Feng's attention. Judging from the attire of these corpses, they were not the bandits, and what caught Zuo Feng's attention was the weapons in the hands of these corpses.

Picking up a long spear, the spear had been broken into two pieces, and the piece with the spear head was inserted into the chest of a bandit. As soon as Zuo Feng got the spear, he found the problem, because the spear itself was made by his father Zuo Changqing.

His father's carpentry work was done very carefully, the spear body was straight and the surface had been polished countless times. There were also small dents in the middle and the end of the spear body, which were deliberately dug out to prevent slipping when holding the spear. The most important thing was that there was a "left" character on the spear body.

After searching carefully again, Zuo Feng found several weapons that belonged to Zuojia Village, and they also had the mark of Zuojia Village on them.

This discovery made Zuo Feng's hands tremble slightly. This group of people slaughtered his village and actually used the weapons obtained from Zuojia Village to kill the bandits. If he was not a person from Zuojia Village, and he had found the short sword before, it would be really difficult to figure out the clues.

But then Zuo Feng discovered the contradiction and his emotions calmed down. If we follow my own reasoning, the bandits and the gray-clothed people should be in the cooperation stage for the time being. Why did they kill the people in the mountain stronghold before their goal was achieved, and they had to put the blame on Zuojia Village? There must be other conspiracies involved.

Unconsciously, Zuo Feng walked out of the hall. The cold wind of the night blew gently on his face. The fresh and cold air made his mind clearer. With a slight movement in his arms, a small head came out. Since entering the mountain village, especially after the hall with a strong smell of blood, the little beast has been motionless in Zuo Feng's arms, as if it is extremely uncomfortable here.

At this time, Zuo Feng walked out of the hall, and it immediately poked its head out to get a good breath. Zuo Feng took out a little bottle cork from his arms, broke off a small piece and gave it to the little beast. The little beast immediately cried out happily, grabbed it and got into Zuo Feng's arms again.

Zuo Feng then took out a piece of dry food and ate it without paying attention to the fishy smell floating around. He had not eaten for two days since his master died of poison. At this time, because he had not eaten for a long time, his stomach made a "gurgling..." sound when he swallowed a mouthful of dry food.

While chewing the dry food, Zuo Feng began to analyze all the information. First, his village was massacred, and all the bandits involved were massacred. At first, Zuo Feng thought that the gray-clothed man did not want the information of "Teng Wu" to be leaked, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

After the bandits were killed, they were hung on wooden stakes outside the village in an extremely cruel way. This looks like revenge for the bandits' massacre of Zuojia Village. In addition, he just found the weapons of Zuojia Village in the hall. All this is to point the spearhead at Zuojia Village.

With a move in his heart, Zuo Feng suddenly remembered the small note in his arms. It involves Zhang Yu, the commander of Yancheng. Zhang Yu is a member of the bandit party. If the people on the mountain village are massacred, then Zhang Yu will probably cooperate directly with the Yin Group in the next step. In this way, the middle link of the bandit leader is omitted, and the Yin Group will be more handy to use this chess piece.

When the Yin Group first came here, they kept massacring the surrounding small villages for the purpose of finding the whereabouts of "Teng Wu". Their goal was finally achieved in Zuojia Village. Judging from the time of death of these people, it should be that after attacking their own village, some of the people who left came here to kill the bandits.

I am afraid that during the cooperation between the two sides, the Yin Group also learned that some of the bandits had infiltrated Yancheng and held power. The bandits wanted to help this man seize the position of the lord of Yancheng, which undoubtedly played an important role in the next plan of the Yin Group.

So after they caught "Teng Wu", they started the second step of the plan, slaughtered most of the bandits in the name of Zuojia Village, and then left evidence and live people to frame Zuojia Village. In this way, they not only got rid of their suspicion, but also cooperated with the "hidden man" in Yancheng.

I am afraid that the retreat of myself and others to Yancheng was completely within the expectations of the Yin Group, which also explains why some people in the Yin Group went back alive to report the news, but no enemies came to chase them later.

This step-by-step plan is linked together. If Zuo Feng had not accidentally rescued Teng Xiaoyun, I am afraid that the Yin Group would be the final beneficiary of this conspiracy. They can not only bring "Teng Wu" or the secret treasure back to the Fengtian Dynasty, but also get a great help from Yancheng, and Yancheng will eventually fall under their control.

According to Zuo Feng's analysis, the Yin Group may not know who the bandit in Yancheng is, and they can't contact this person directly. At this time, the survivors they left behind not only serve as witnesses, but also serve to contact the "hidden person" in Yancheng.

The survivors in the mountain village are probably still hiding in the forest. If they follow the plan of the gray-clothed man, they should have been "rescued" by chance. Then contact the "hidden person" in Yancheng, and everything should develop in this way.

However, the disappearance of Teng Xiaoyun may disrupt their plan a little, so they are now frantically searching for Teng Xiaoyun's whereabouts in the forest. I just don't know if the gray-clothed man has contacted the "hidden person" in Yancheng, that is, Commander Zhang Yu.

After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Feng didn't think of any better way to destroy their plan, so he put it aside for the time being. Since the other party is framing the person, they cannot burn this place down. I believe they will not stay here for long.

In this case, if there are some hidden places here, they will not be carefully investigated. The villagers have just arrived in Yancheng, and the conditions are still very difficult. If they can find some money here, they can solve a big problem.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng started to search inside and outside the small building. He believed that if there is such a treasure, it must not be too far away from this small building. After all, such an important thing should be closer to oneself to feel at ease.

But Zuo Feng did not gain anything after walking around for a long time. He checked almost every piece of land and every tree. Looking around, a very inconspicuous small house came into view. I didn't pay much attention to it when I walked around here for a long time before. At this time, I suddenly looked at it and found that the small house was unusual.
