Chapter 12: Ti Huai commits another murder and flees, and Yanmen encounters Jin Cui Lian again.

  The next day, in Bianzhou City.

  Somehow, the atmosphere in Wucheng City was a bit tense, could it be that war was about to break out on the border again?

  When they just entered the city, Zheng Fei and his three men were stopped by the soldiers at the city gate.

  Zheng Fei as the pork king of Zhenzhou City, a well-known town in the west, naturally had nothing to worry about.

  But Wang Jin and Pang Wanchun were carefully investigated.

  Especially Wang Jin, the deep scar on his face is quite frightening at first glance.

  It was fortunate that Zheng Fei quietly handed over a few pieces of silver at the right time, pretending to say that Wang Jin and Pang Wanchun were his brothers from his hometown. The guard took the silver, chuckled and let the three people into the city.

  It wasn't until the three of them entered the city that they felt the atmosphere relax a bit.

  The town of Nagakubo is not on the border, so this tense atmosphere of war comes every few years, but most of them are nothing, and the people also get used to it slowly.

  Only on the streets as usual, people coming and going, all kinds of transactions are proceeding normally, war seems to be still far away from here.

  Zheng Fei and the other two people entered the city and first had to pass by their own butcher shop.

  Zheng Fei decided to first take the two of them to visit his own largest butcher shop in Changzhou City.

  The three of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the butcher's shop.

  Zheng Fei Gang had just appeared when his sharp-eyed companions immediately surrounded him and kept asking for news.

  Zheng Fei smiled and greeted everyone, the employees were all delighted. Ever since that day when their boss fainted and woke up again, he seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only did he no longer scold and beat them like before, but also gave them a raise.

  The buddies couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the former town's western pass, which used to be full of scars, now looks so good.

  Zheng Fei naturally didn't know what his partners were thinking, he just called Zhang An and asked a few questions about business matters.

  Zhang An hastily reported the actual operating conditions of Zheng Fei's departure in these days.

  Zheng Fei took over the bag of silver coins handed up by Zhang An, weighed it and found that the amount was not small, nodded in satisfaction and put the money bag into the pocket on the saddle.

  As for whether Zhang An was corrupt or not, Zheng Fei didn't want to be too strict about it. As long as he wasn't too excessive, giving him some benefits could also be a kind of motivation.

  Zheng Fei was about to leave when Zhang An suddenly slapped his forehead and said,

  "Sir, there's something else I almost forgot. A few days ago, a man claiming to be Shi Yun came looking for you. He was in a hurry and left a letter when he saw you weren't back yet."

  Zheng Fei and Wang Jin exchanged a glance, took over the letter handed over by Zhang An, unfolded it to take a look, and their faces changed immediately.

  "What's wrong?"

  Zhang Fei handed the letter to Wang Jin, frowning and saying, "Lu Da got drunk and accidentally killed a yamen runner who was bullying a small vendor, and has abandoned his post and fled. Shi Sheng and Li Zhong have also left this place."

  Wang Jin was also surprised and took a look at the letter. After reading it, he knew that Shi Jin was fine and nothing serious had happened.

  Zheng Fei was plunged into a deep shock.

  Luda killed someone?!

  How could this be?!

  At first, he should have killed me, but now he has killed a certain catcher. Must Rudah kill someone?

  Is this a coincidence or an inevitable part of history?

  If history must follow its original trajectory and only slightly change its way, can I still change the course of history?

  If I couldn't, what's the point of trying harder?

  Zheng Fei took a look at Wang Jin and Pang Wanchun beside him, and his heart immediately felt slightly more at ease.

  In any case, I have already saved Wang Jin and Pang Wanchun, history has deviated a bit, maybe I was just overthinking.

  Wang Jin saw Zheng Fei's expression change and asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

  Under Zheng Fei's strong demand, Wang Jin and Pang Wanchun finally stopped addressing Zheng Fei as "master" and instead referred to him as a brother, only nominally acknowledging Zheng Fei as their master.

  Zheng Fei sighed and said, "Lu Da brother has committed a crime, now he doesn't know where he went. Shi Jin also left, don't know when can see him again."

  Zheng Fei said so with his mouth, but in his heart, he had a big guess.

  Now that Lu Da has killed someone and run away, can he still go to Mount Wutai again? Will Shi Jin still return to Mount Shaoxing as a fugitive?

  Zheng Fei thought for a moment, then pulled on the reins, and the horse's head turned around.

  Wang Jin and Pang Wanchun looked at Zheng Fei with suspicion.

  "Come on," said Zheng Fei with a smile, "I'll take you guys somewhere fun."

  "Where are we going?"

  Zheng Fei pointed southward, "Wutai Mountain."

  Zheng Fei collected the money and goods, and brought Wang Jin and Pang Wanchun along with him as they continued on their way.

  Along the way, I indeed saw several wanted notices for Lu Da posted by government offices.

  October 15th, the three finally arrived at the border of Dai Prefecture's Yanmen County.

  Three men entered the city and found a wine house. They took a seat by the window on the second floor, instructing the waiter to bring good wine and meat.

  Zheng Fei gazed out the window, people coming and going on the street, vendors calling out in an endless stream, this place was far from the border, but it was also a rare quiet spot, Zheng Fei was staring blankly when he suddenly froze.

  Wang Jin found Zheng Fei's change and asked, "What's wrong?"

  Zheng Fei turned around, a mysterious smile on his face, "Brother, do you believe in fate?"

  Wang Jin smiled and said, "I don't believe it. If we really had a destined relationship, I wouldn't have been hitting on you until now."

  Zheng Fei looked out of the window again, watching a group of people passing by downstairs, and looking at one of them, a delicate-looking woman, he said softly.

  "Cuilian, long time no see."

  No mistake, now from downstairs passing people, unexpectedly have two big familiar faces of Zheng Tuo.

  Two people who can even be said to have directly affected Zheng's fate.

  One was Old Jin and the other was his daughter, Jin Cui Lian.

  Zheng Fei reincarnated as Zheng Tu at the time, Jin Lao Han and his daughter had already been released by Lu Da, so Zheng Fei had never seen this cheap father-in-law and little wife of hers. She only had some impression of their appearance through Zheng Tu's memory.

  At this moment, only Jin Cui Lian was seen being supported by a maid, while Old Man Jin and another man dressed as an official walked in front of them, chatting and laughing, with several servants standing beside them.

  Zheng Fei knew that this must be Jin Laohan's current son-in-law, Zhao Yuanwai.

  On that day, Jin Cui Lian was released by Lu Da without any accidents, so the father and daughter came here and got along well with Zhao Yuan Wai, which is also a reasonable development in line with history.

  Zheng Fei was staring at Jin Cui Lian in a daze, and Jin Cui Lian seemed to have noticed something, suddenly raising her head to look at Zheng Fei. As soon as she saw Zheng Fei's appearance clearly, Jin Cui Lian's face changed abruptly, her whole body trembling, and she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, "Ah!"

  This shout not only startled Zheng Fei but also frightened Old Man Jin and Officer Zhao in front.

  Only then did Old Jin and Zhao Yuanwai immediately come to the side of Jin Cui Lian, asking her something, after which Jin Cui Lian's hand trembled as she pointed at Zheng Fei.

  That old man Jin looked in the direction and was also shocked when he saw Zheng Fei. He immediately turned his head to say something to Zhao Yuanwai.

  Then Zhao's attendant led a group of servants who seemed to be in a rage and rushed towards the wine building where Zheng Fei was.

  Zheng Fei turned his head back, laughing bitterly several times.

  Is this okay? Just take a casual look at your own little wife and you'll be able to stir up trouble.

  Zheng Fei suddenly had a thought, Lu Da was originally introduced by Zhao Yuanwai to Wutai Mountain, now...?

  Zheng Fei made up his mind, looked up at Pang Wanchun and said, "Spring son, prepare for a fight."

  Pang Wanchun had not yet reacted when he heard a commotion from the stairs, and Zhao Yuanwai led several people with angry faces rushing up.

  Zhao went up the stairs and pointed at Zheng Fei, shouting angrily, "You're that good-for-nothing butcher Zheng? Come and hit me!"

  Having said that, the five or six servants behind him rushed forward together.

  It wasn't until then that Pang Wanchun reacted, and without Zheng Fei giving another order, he slapped the table, stood up, and rushed towards Zhao Yuanwai and the others.

  Just as Zhao finished speaking, he saw someone rush towards him without saying a word. Before he could react, a heavy fist had already landed on his face.

  Zhao's eyes turned black and he fell to the ground with a thud, seeing stars before his eyes, only able to hear a string of curses from beside his ear.

  On this side, Wang Jin seemed to be very reassured by Pang Wanchun's ability, and didn't even turn his head, only looking at Zheng Fei with inquiring eyes.

  Zheng Fei smiled slightly, "Nothing, just a former husband's rightful defense."
