The next day, Ma Wu basically recovered, and Li Banfeng took him out of the hospital immediately.

Zuo Wugang praised: "The medical skills of this hospital are really amazing, but what happened last night was a bit unfair."

Cui Tike and Wan Jinxian fought in the hospital, and Zuo Wugang also noticed it.

Huo Ling didn't take the matter seriously: "What they beat them has nothing to do with us. If they dare to involve Wu Lang, they can just try."

Ma Wu looked at Huo Ling and couldn't help but shake his head.

Shui Yongquan was right at the beginning, Huo Ling was neither suitable to be an assassin nor a supporter.

But Huo Ling liked Lushui City very much, and Ma Wu was reluctant to let her go back.

Because Huo Ling is a warm person, she is so hot.

Back at Xiaoyaowu, Ma Wu told what happened: a middle-aged man left a message beside him, and Ma Wu fell ill immediately.

Li Banfeng knew that the middle-aged man Ma Wu mentioned was Cui Tike's senior brother, and that he was here for him. He also knew that this man was one of He Jiaqing's subordinates.

But who is this senior brother?

Zuo Wugang had some impressions: "I took a look in the corridor yesterday. The man was covered in rashes and looked disgusting. But looking at the back, he seemed to be Wan Jinxian."

Huo Ling was startled: "Who is Wan Jinxian?"

"The military advisor of Lu Dongjun, the second master of the Lu family, this old guy is very insidious and ruthless. Lu Dongliang often told us to be careful against him in the past."

Li Banfeng listened quietly beside him, and combined with the conversation between Cui Tike and Wan Jinxian last night, a clue slowly emerged in his mind.

There are very vague clues that seem to be traceable, but they are intermittent.

This matter needs to be dealt with properly.

Ma Wu was still a little weak, so Li Banfeng asked him to rest early. He went back to his home and carefully read last year's newspapers.

In Yaowanggou, Li Banfeng learned about Puozhou comprehensively for the first time, relying on a pile of old newspapers bought at the Lujia Bookstore. From then on, he developed the habit of saving newspapers.

During the disaster in Haichiling, Lu Dongjun's highlight moment was that he frequently appeared in newspapers. Li Banfeng found a lot of news related to him.

But the key person is Wan Jinxian?

Finally he found it.

In a local newspaper in Haichiling, Li Banfeng saw an article mentioning Wan Jinxian, who distributed food to some disaster victims on behalf of Lu Dongjun.

Lu Dongjun gained a good reputation in the early stages of insect control, and Wan Jinxian's virus should have been used. However, the mosquitoes later mutated, leading to Lu Dongjun's failure.

But at that time, couldn't Wan Jinxian come up with any solution?

He can definitely think of a way to curb the mosquito population by creating another epidemic. Although this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it can at least help Lu Dongjun delay for a while.

But Wan Jinxian did not do this, and Lu Dongjun disappeared completely not long after.

Wan Jinxian had no intention of helping Lu Dongjun control the insects from the beginning. He just tricked Lu Dongjun into going to Haichiling, which first made Lu Dongjun famous and then ruined his reputation.

What is his purpose in doing this?

To be precise, this is not Wan Jinxian's purpose, it is He Jiaqing's purpose, and Wan Jinxian is He Jiaqing's subordinate.

Li Banfeng opened the newspapers one by one, specifically looking for news about Haichiling during that time.

After searching for more than half an hour, Li Banfeng saw a key piece of information on the news.

Business.

Business in Haichiling!

After Lu Dongjun achieved success in pest control in Toudaoling, he acquired a large number of businesses. In the news at that time, there were many photos of Lu Dongjun signing contracts. Many businesses in Haichiling were all owned by Lu Dongjun.

But where did all this business go?

Li Banfeng continued to read the newspapers and found that these businesses had been sold by Lu Dongjun again.

Shen Rongqing, Qian Xiangjun, Duan Shuqun...

Li Banfeng had never heard of any of these businessmen's names.

Lu Dongjun was like a setter, taking the business in his hands and then dispersing it all in a short time.

What's the reason for this?

Business……

It seemed like a big business was going on at that time.

Who did it?

Chu Er!

Continuing to flip through the newspaper, Li Banfeng discovered that Lu Dongjun had sold many of the Lu family’s businesses in Lushui City before going to Haichiling. The most famous business was Lu Dongjun’s sale of Paramount Come on Chu Er!

Later, most of these businesses were taken back by Qiu Zhiheng, but some of them were bought by others.

Bought by whom?

Shen Rongqing, Duan Shuqun...

It’s this group of people again!

Li Banfeng stared at the newspaper, his thoughts running rapidly.

"Hey, sir, why are you so studious today? Come and try this armor, it's rare..."

"Baby lady, let's not talk about the armor for now. Sing me a cheerful song."

"Mr. sir, are you in such a good mood today?"

"It's not that I'm in a good mood, it's that I'm going to be sick."

What a big deal.

What a big game!

Li Banfeng's brain is about to be overloaded.

As soon as Li Banfeng said he was going to get sick, the record player quickly sang "Stars Match".

"A star in the sky shines on my heart, and my heart is also imprinted with a person. He nourishes me when I am dry, and guides me when I am confused..."

Accompanied by the violin and piano, the tender singing voice of the record player made Li Banfeng calm down quickly and gradually integrated the information.

He Jiaqing used Wan Jinxian to trick Lu Dongjun into Haichiling.

During this period, Lu Dongjun was like a tool man, collecting a large amount of business for He Jiaqing.

Counting the business in these newspapers and the Ling family, He Jiaqing's current assets are no less than those of the four major families.

Is this what he needs to rebuild Prozhou?

more than!

In the conversation last night, the two of them talked about He Haiqin.

The reason why He Haiqin fell ill was because he was harmed by Wan Jinxian.

If Wan Jinxian was just Lu Dongjun's military advisor, it would be reasonable for him to do so.

But if this was at the instigation of He Jiaqing, things would be complicated again.

Li Banfeng bought three and a half years' worth of newspapers from the Lu Family Bookstore. In these newspapers, Li Banfeng found the news about He Haiqin's serious illness.

It was at this time that Wan Jinxian fell ill with He Haiqin.

Before He Haiqin fell ill, the focus of the news was mostly on the struggle between the He and Lu families. Judging from the overall trend, the He family was still slightly dominant at that time.

After He Haiqin fell ill, the Lu family became the dominant family. In other words, from that time on, He Jiaqing began to control the structure of Puozhou.

What’s next?

Here I come next.

Li Banfeng spread the newspapers one by one, from the main room to the seventh room.

The record player sang over and over again. She was afraid that Li Banfeng would get sick, but Li Banfeng behaved unusually calmly.

The clues are becoming clearer.

After Li Banfeng came to Puozhou, there were one wave after another with almost no interruption. After Lu Dongliang died, the Lu family was in chaos, and the Ling family took advantage of this opportunity to rise.

Is this all within He Jiaqing’s control?

uncertain.

Lu Dongliang's death was definitely not within He Jiaqing's control. He would never have imagined that Lu Dongliang would die in my hands.

But the chaos in the Lu family must be related to him. Judging from the news at the time, the Lu family and the He family had openly turned against each other in order to compete for the red lotus.

As for whether He Yuxiu or Lu Dongjun attacked Lu Dongliang, this matter can be put aside for the time being. As long as something goes wrong between the Lu family and the He family, He Jiaqing's goal will be achieved.

Is this why he asked me to bring Honglian back to Puzhou?

It does make sense logically.

He Jiaqing's identity is too conspicuous. If he brings Honglian back in person, the news will definitely leak out, and the He family will be besieged. He himself cannot stay out of the matter, and there is a high probability that he will become the focus of the siege.
