Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 355 It's getting more and more troublesome
Qin Yan wanted to be a thief who could travel thousands of miles without leaving a trace since he was a child. For a thief, eyesight and skills are equally important. Yang Yiyi walked over and took a look, and it was indeed a jade pendant.

However, the jade pendant has been covered tightly with oil and mud, and has become patina. The original color of the tassel on the jade pendant cannot be seen, and it also emits a very clear sour and smelly smell.

This thing wouldn't look out of place if thrown into a cesspool.

Yang Yiyi had no choice but to offer a handkerchief to wrap the jade pendant, pick it up, and wipe it hard before she could barely see the original appearance of the jade pendant.

This thing is a round piece of white jade with the word "Du" engraved on one side and green bamboo and flowing water engraved on the other side. I don't know what the meaning is.

Yang Yiyi didn't quite understand why there was a jade pendant left behind, but Qin Yan thought about it and said:
"Maybe Senior Du also wanted to resolve the issue between the Wen and Qing families, so he left the jade pendant as proof."

"But he himself does not want to go into the city."

"Maybe he wants us to solve it..."

Qin Yan wasn't very sure either, after all, there was no way to predict a madman.

It feels like this matter is becoming more and more troublesome.

In any case, Du Chun ran away, and the two had no other choice but to take the jade pendant back to the city to find Tang Lianyu.

The eldest daughter of the Tang family was not in the inn. After giving Yang Yiyi the task, she returned to her own ship, which was currently docked at the pier.

The two men went to the boat's side and found the servant to explain their purpose, and soon saw Tang Lianyu again.

"You two ladies are back so soon? Is there any news about Senior Du?"

"I don't know if it counts as..."

Yang Yiyi told the story again and took out the jade token again.

Tang Lianyu's first reaction was to take a half step back. She instinctively didn't want to get close to such filth. However, when she looked carefully and saw the word "Du" on it, she immediately realized that it was left by Elder Du.

"It's a bit unexpected that the Thousand Faced Fierce Phoenix is ​​in the city. I thought Senior Du just didn't want to enter the city."

"He said the city stinks..."

"Senior Du just hates the smell of rouge and powder. Most women in the city use it, so he doesn't want to come in."

Tang Lianyu seemed to know Du Chun very well, maybe they had some connection.

"What should we do now? Without Senior Du's intervention, is there any way for the Wen and Qing families to reconcile?"

After a moment's silence, Tang Lianyu said:
"Please both of you go again and take my name card and Elder Du's jade pendant to discuss it with Wen and Qing families."

This made Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan a little puzzled. Shouldn't Tang Lianyu go in person to show his sincerity?
"I have something else to do, I will go find you two later."

Yang Yiyi helped just to repay Tang Lianyu's favor, but she didn't expect that things seemed to be getting more and more troublesome.

I don’t know what Tang Lianyu is up to, but it would be a bit unkind to just walk away now.

So the two of them had no choice but to nod.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The Wen and Qing families are prominent families in Silk City, one lives in the east and the other in the west of the city. Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan first went to the Wen family, which was closest to the pier.

The place is not difficult to find. You can find the way by asking passers-by and handing Tang Lianyu's visiting card to the door.

The eldest daughter of the Tang family did have some reputation, and a servant immediately came out and let the two in with the etiquette of welcoming distinguished guests.

The two men sat down in the front hall and had just drunk a sip of tea when one of the middle-aged men who had been yelling in the inn not long ago came out with a smile on his face.

This man's name is Wen Peng. He is Wen Yun's biological father and the helmsman of the Wen family.

When he saw Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan in the front hall, the smile on his face froze immediately. After all, he didn't have Alzheimer's disease. Not long ago, Yang Yiyi came out to smooth things over at the inn.

He was a little puzzled as to why these two people came to his house using the Tang family's eldest daughter's business card, but since guests are welcome, Wen Peng was only slightly stunned and then returned to normal.

"Why are you two ladies here this time...?" "To be honest, we are here to settle the feud between the Wen and Qing families."

Upon hearing this, Wen Peng immediately snorted:
"If that's the reason, I won't say any more. Please see you off."

"Please be patient and take a look at this."

Qin Yan took out the jade pendant and placed it on the table. Wen Peng, who was furious, took one look and was immediately surprised:
"Is it Senior Du's jade pendant? Where did you get it?"

This thing actually works. Yang Yiyi explained:
"In the mountain temple outside the city, we were actually entrusted by Miss Tang to find Elder Du, hoping that he could personally come forward to act as a peacemaker and settle the feud between the two families, but the old man was unwilling to enter the city, so he left behind a jade pendant."

The servant who came in after hearing the sound was waved away by Wen Peng, who then said:

"I know Miss Tang has good intentions, but the grudge between our two families cannot be explained in just a few words."

Both companies were competitors in the silk business, and not just in business, they also had frictions with each other on a daily basis. They had been entangled for hundreds of years. Who would believe that they could forget their grudges with a smile?
"It is precisely because the grudge has been there for so long that it should be resolved as soon as possible. If future generations continue to be hostile to each other, what good will that do?"

It is better to resolve a feud than to create one; this principle applies everywhere.

Wen Peng thought for a while, snorted and said:

"Humph, if Qing Linhong comes to apologize in person, I am not unreasonable, but my Wen family cannot be inferior to the Qing family no matter what."

The Wenqing and Wen families are not stupid, but the hatred has lasted for hundreds of years, and no one is willing to give in first.

Seeing Wen Peng's tone soften, Qin Yan said:

"It takes two to tango. If there is a chance for the two families to reconcile, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Qin Yan originally wanted to give both parties a way out, but Wen Peng said after hearing this:

"Since you two ladies have come to my humble abode at the invitation of Miss Tang, you must have heard about the recent murder case between our two families. If you can solve it, it would be an opportunity."

Wait, this sounds a bit weird?
Qin Yan suddenly felt that Wen Peng seemed to be waiting for the person who could handle the matter to appear, and it felt like he was taking advantage of the situation.

Yang Yiyi was not as cunning as Qin Yan. When she heard what Wen Peng said, she immediately said:

“I have heard a little about this matter, but I don’t know the details.”

If you say that, it means you agree to it!

Qin Yan cursed her teammates inwardly as they were stupid. She had a vague feeling that the conflict between the Wen and Qing families and Tang Lianyu's request for them to come were not as simple as they seemed.

When traveling in the underworld, the most important thing is not to agree to anything casually. Yang Yiyi is a typical example of someone who has little experience in the underworld.

Wen Peng seemed to be waiting for Yang Yiyi to ask a question, and immediately said:
"The deceased were an accountant from my family and a servant from the Qing family. Although our two families have grievances with each other, no one has ever died before."

Yang Yiyi said without thinking:
"Senior Du said that the Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix is ​​in the city. Could it be her doing?"

When Wen Peng heard this, he almost knocked over his teacup.

The notoriety of the Thousand Faces Fierce Phoenix was so well-known that no one in the entire martial arts world dared to approach it. The ancestors of the Wen and Qing families were in the martial arts world, and now they can be considered half-martial arts people, so of course they have some understanding of this.

"If it was really done by the Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix, then there is really no way to find out. But I don't understand who wanted to kill my accountant and the Qing family's servant, and..."

"And what?"

"Also, the government's attitude is very strange. The officials only came to ask questions and then nothing happened. I went to see the county magistrate many times, but I was never able to see him."

This murder case should be handled by the government, especially since the Wen and Qing families are wealthy families in Silk City, the government should treat it seriously.

As a result, it now seems that the government office is covering up something.

Qin Yan's feeling was correct, things were indeed becoming more and more troublesome.
