Jiang Fa Fold the letter and open the brocade box.

In the box lie ten ingots of white silver ingots, ten taels each, for a total of one hundred taels.

"Master Hu This is a sign of goodwill."

Lin Feng took the letter from Jiang Fa and glanced at it, with a playful smile on his lips.

"Black Tiger Gang has been in Qingshan County for so many years. Of course he knows how to act appropriately. Bald Liu is just a little guy. He will die when he dies. For a dead man to offend a Middle An Jin martial arts disciple, Master Hu calculates this account clearly than anyone else."

He returned the letter to Jiang Fa with a relaxed tone. "Don't worry, this matter is over. Not only will Master Hu not cause trouble for you, I'm afraid you will be safer on Black Tiger Gang's territory than at your own home."

"Master Hu is quite capable of bending and stretching."

Jiang Fa nodded and put the money away.

He pondered for a moment, looked at Lin Feng, and said solemnly, "Senior Brother Lin, I have something to ask you for help."

"You said."

"Lin Lineage Trading Company has been operating in Qingshan County for many years, and there should be no shortage of people from all walks of life."

Jiang Fa's tone was neither urgent nor slow, but his eyes were a little more serious. "I would like to ask you to help me check a few people."

Lin Feng looked slightly moved and put down the tea bowl in his hand. "Who is it?"

Jiang Fa briefly described the assassination that occurred on the official road.

He didn't hide anything, starting from the encounter at Qingxi Bridge with the pair of assassins disguised as brothers and sisters, the ambush of the three men in the pine forest, and the fact that the other party would rather die than reveal the mastermind behind the scenes.

As for the gray-clothed swordsman in the deserted house, he thought about it for a moment and then told him about it.

Of course, he had reservations about obtaining the Guiyuan Breath Condensing Art and the Ten Thousand Snakes Heart-Eating Sword.

After listening, Lin Feng's face became darker and darker.

He originally thought that Jiang Fa's attack on the official road was just an accident, but after hearing about the chase in the deserted house, his expression turned completely cold.

"Excellent in disguise, coordination, and assassination, Middle An Jin warrior, and a Late Dark Force master swordsman..."

He repeated the information in a low voice, frowning,

"Junior Brother Jiang, according to what you said, there is indeed a force within our Qingshan County that is somewhat similar to what you said."

Jiang Fa's eyes narrowed. "Senior Brother Lin, what did you think of?"

"The Blood Wolf Gang."

"Blood Wolf Gang?"

Jiang Fa frowned slightly.

"The Blood Wolf Gang, Qingshan County is the most mysterious group among underground forces."

Lin Feng looked at him with confused eyes and slowly explained, "Although it is not as flamboyant as the Black Tiger Gang Big Knife Gang, it is more feared than the former. They rarely compete for territory in the market, and they only engage in shady activities such as black market transactions, underground casinos, and hiring murderers. There are many experts in the gang, and they are secretive. They are especially good at lurking, tracking, and assassinating."

"The most important thing is that they have raised a group of minions who specialize in killing people."

Jiang Fa's face darkened slightly.

Only now did he realize what kind of trouble he had gotten into.

"But I don't remember ever having an enmity with the Blood Wolf Gang."

Jiang Fa shook his head with confusion on his face.

"To form a feud with the Blood Wolf Gang, you may not need to offend them. Maybe... someone else will pay for your life."

Jiang Fa His fists clenched unconsciously.

He had already vaguely guessed that there must be someone behind these assassinations.

"Senior Brother Lin, can you check it for me? I want to know who wants to kill me."

"This is natural."

"This matter is not only about you, but also about me Lin Lineage."

"To be honest, Junior Brother Jiang, I actually still have a layer of worry in my heart. I have never dared to tell you. I am worried that you are overthinking. But now it seems that it is not necessarily me who is overthinking."

Jiang Fa raised his head and met his gaze.

"The time when you were assassinated happened to be right after the accident in my Lin Lineage caravan. You were worshiped by me, Lin Lineage, and you ruined the Heifeng Village event at Naihe Bridge. If someone really wants to do something to Lin Lineage, you will not only be a thorn in their side, but also a stumbling block that must be removed."

He paused and continued:

"Recently, the warehouses of my Lin Lineage caravan have been damaged one after another, the store in the south has been flooded for no reason, and two old associates were seriously injured in an attack at night. Not only that, there seems to be a force working against me Lin Lineage even within the yamen."

"Now that you were assassinated again, I'm worried..."

"Do you suspect they are the same people?"

"In all likelihood, although there is no conclusive evidence yet, Lin Lineage has been in business for many years and will not make so many enemies in such a short period of time. This is clearly someone who is secretly pushing to push me, Lin Lineage, into the quagmire step by step and push me into a desperate situation."

Jiang Fa's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

He never connected the assassination of himself with Lin Lineage. He only thought that he had offended which force at some time. But when Lin Feng said this, the outline of the whole matter suddenly became a little clearer.

"Think about it carefully."

Lin Feng looked at him. "The Blood Wolf Gang doesn't accept orders easily, but once they do, the remuneration is terrifyingly high. Only a handful of Qingshan County can afford this price."

Jiang Fa said nothing.

"That batch of black iron and fine gold was originally the opportunity for my Lin Lineage to rise, and it was also the sharp sword hanging above my head."

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth, "Now it seems that the people behind the scenes are not only eyeing the mineral veins, but also want to cut off my Lin Lineage wings. Naturally, you, the worshiper, are also included."

"That's why I said, this matter is not just your business."

Lin Feng sighed and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, have you ever thought about it. Since those people dare to intercept and kill you on official roads, they have naturally investigated you to the fullest."

Jiang Fa's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"You mean, they might attack my family?"

"Hard to say."

Lin Feng said slowly, "They are people who act in the dark and will use any means to achieve their goals. You are alone in the martial arts hall, with your master sitting in charge and your fellow disciples taking care of you. It is difficult for them to attack, but your family is far away Yellow Earth Town. If the other party is determined to take advantage of you, that is the best weakness."

"Your parents are both dedicated farmers. To deal with them, not to mention the Blood Wolf Gang, just a few gangsters can make things happen."

Jiang Fa said nothing.

After a long time, Jiang Fa slowly exhaled a breath and said in a deep voice, "That's true."

"There's no need to worry too much." Lin Feng looked at him and thought, "I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it?"

Jiang Fa raised his head.

"My Lin Lineage trading company happens to have a shop that collects medicinal materials in Yellow Earth Town. On the pretext of guarding the medicinal materials, I arranged for two trustworthy old escorts to stay there. In name, they have nothing to do with your Jiang family, but in fact they are secretly taking care of it. What do you think?"

"This is the best." Jiang Fa said with his fists in his arms, "Let senior brother worry about it."

"Between you and me, there is no need to talk about this."

Lin Feng sighed and patted Jiang Fa on the shoulder, "I should say sorry to you. It was me, Lin Lineage, who dragged you into this muddy water."

Lin Feng waved his hand and changed the topic, "I will go back and ask people to inquire more about the details of the Blood Wolf Gang, especially the orders they have taken recently and the people they have come into contact with. I hope to find out the mastermind behind it."

"As for yourself, be sure to be more careful."

"I understand."

Jiang Fa nodded.

The two said a few more words, then Lin Feng stood up and left.
