Longevity starts with strengthening the internal organs
Chapter 126 Enemies meet on a narrow road
"Not yet." Zhao Ya said.
Ning Shanshan looked disappointed.
Naturally, he also knew that his daughter Ning Shan went to the Shang Mansion reception to seek help.
When he heard that his daughter would invite Zhao Ya, the young genius who caught the Jade Butterfly, Ning Shanfeng felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Maybe this Zhao Ya can solve the desperate situation facing his family as soon as he comes.
With this idea in mind, he struggled not to sleep, and kept waiting for the result.
Now when Zhao Ya said that he couldn't find any clues, Ning Shanfeng's heart gradually sank again.
Zhao Ya naturally discovered this, but he ignored it and just continued to ask: "Shopkeeper Ning, how many people know about the large amount of cloth stored in your warehouse? Please think about it carefully. Then tell me."
After hearing Zhao Ya's question, Ning Shanfeng braced himself up and said.
"I have thought about this matter more than once during this period. After much deliberation, apart from my wife and I, only Shan'er and the few people guarding the warehouse knew about it."
"Are those people reliable?" Zhao Ya asked.
Ning Shanfeng smiled bitterly and said: "If you had asked me this before, I would have given you a reliable answer. After all, these people are all my old friends who have been with me for twenty or thirty years. It can even be said that their wealth and lives are closely related to Yongsheng Buzhuang." ."
"But now I am not sure. The world is declining these days. Who can say who is absolutely reliable?"
The words were full of dejection, which showed that the theft had dealt a very heavy blow to this old man who had been in the business world for many years.
After hearing this, Zhao Ya was thoughtful and suddenly said, "Can I see Mrs. Ling?"
Ning Shanfeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, Shan'er, go back and call your mother out."
"yes."
Ning Shan got up and went to the back house.
The wait took a long time this time. It took more than half an hour before Ning Shan came to the house with a woman in her thirties.
This woman has a plump figure. Although she is in her thirties, which is considered old in this era, she is quite charming because she takes good care of herself.
This woman is Ning Shanfeng's second wife, Ning Zhang.
"Master!" Mrs. Ning Zhang first saluted Ning Shanfeng.
Ning Shanfeng nodded, then pointed at Zhao Ya who was sitting next to him.
"This is Young Master Zhao Ya. He is here specifically to report the theft from our warehouse. Just answer whatever he asks later. Don't have any scruples."
"Yes, I have met Mr. Zhao."
This Ning Zhang family is quite knowledgeable about etiquette.
Zhao Ya nodded and said straight to the point: "May I ask Mrs. Ning, have you ever told outsiders about the large amount of fabric stored in your warehouse?"
Mrs. Ning Zhang shook her head, "I haven't told anyone about it."
"Oh? Are you sure?" Zhao Ya asked.
A look of shame and annoyance appeared on Mrs. Ning Zhang's face.
"Isn't Young Master Zhao doubting me? You know, I have never made any mistakes in following you for so many years. This matter is even more important. How can I dare to play it?"
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Don't get excited, Mrs. Ning. I'm just asking as usual. Since Mrs. Ning has never mentioned it to outsiders, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."
Then Zhao Ya stood up and said, "It's getting late today, so I'll go back first. I'll investigate the scene in detail tomorrow."
Although Ning Shanfeng was disappointed, he also knew that this matter could not be solved in a hurry, so he nodded and said: "Shan'er, give me a gift for Zhao Shaoxia."
"yes!"
Ning Shan walked out of the gate, then stood on the steps and watched Zhao Ya go away, feeling suddenly filled with coldness in her heart.
If even Zhao Shaoxia, who is famous all over the county, cannot find out the real culprit behind the scenes and recover this batch of fabrics, then the only thing waiting for the Ning family is bankruptcy.
After standing for a moment, Ning Shan turned back with a sad expression.
But she didn't know that just when she turned around to go back, Zhao Ya had already stopped and turned into an alley.
Although to outsiders, Zhao Ya achieved nothing tonight. Apart from walking around the warehouse, he met Ning Shan's parents at Ning's house, and then asked some unhelpful questions.
But only Zhao Ya himself understood that after meeting Mrs. Ning, the vague suspicion in his heart had been verified. The only thing missing now was evidence.
With Zhao Ya's current strength, he no longer needs to rely on night clothes to cover his whereabouts like before.
Once the breath-condensing technique, which has reached the pinnacle of perfection, is used, let alone ordinary people, even warriors at the same level as Zhao Ya will not be able to detect it without careful observation.
Zhao Ya tapped the ground with his toes, and then silently flew into the darkness.
After several falls, Zhao Ya came to the backyard of Yongsheng Buzhuang.
When he came just now, he had already secretly memorized the layout of this place.
Ning Shanfeng lives in the main house, and there are two courtyards behind the main house, which should be where the female family members live.
Zhao Ya first landed on the eaves of the main house.
At this time, the lights were still on in the room, and voices could be heard.
Zhao Ya listened carefully.
Ning Shanfeng coughed for a while, and then said breathlessly: "Shan'er, do you think this Young Master Zhao can help us find the real culprit behind the scenes?"
After a moment of silence, Ning Shan said, "I'm not sure either, but looking at it today, he doesn't seem to have any clue."
"Alas." Ning Shanfeng let out a long sigh, "Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Although this Young Master Zhao has good martial arts and a good mind, what happened this time is too bizarre, and it is impossible to find clues in a short time."
"This is the calamity that I, Ning Shanfeng, deserved due to my destiny. It just caused you trouble."
"Father……."
"No need to say it, I have already thought about it. If I can't find any clues tomorrow, then you will take Buzhuang's money and fly away."
"But if this is the case, wouldn't our Buzhuang be completely finished?"
"Do you think our Buzhuang will be finished if you don't leave? Anyway, my old bones have had enough life, and I will probably die by then."
"But you are different. You are still young, and you are not yet betrothed. If you stay, I'm afraid you will be taken care of by bad guys again. After all... the person who attacked our Ning family has never shown up."
Zhao Ya nodded secretly after hearing this.
I have to say that Ning Shanfeng is worthy of being an old man who has been in the shopping mall for many years, and his mind is indeed clear.
At least this is very clear.
What else Ning Shan wanted to say at this time, Ning Shanfeng said: "No need to say more, you have been busy all day, go down and rest quickly."
"yes!"
Ning Shan could only respond, then stood up and left.
After getting out of the door, she walked to the back house in despair.
Ning Shan lives in the courtyard to the west, and the east is naturally where Mrs. Ning lives.
Zhao Ya watched Ning Shan enter the west courtyard, then turned around and headed to the east.
At this time, the windows of the rooms in this courtyard were all dark, and it seemed that people had fallen asleep.
Zhao Ya landed quietly on the eaves, moved his steps slowly, and listened carefully at the same time.
finally.
His eyes lit up, and then he stopped.
Just as he expected, voices came from the room.
Although the voice was very low, with Zhao Ya's ears, he could still hear it very clearly if he listened carefully.
Just heard a strange woman's voice coming from the house.
"Aunt Zhang, you don't have to worry. All the things will be shipped out in the next two days at the latest. By then you will have made your first contribution, and the hall master and Senior Brother Han will definitely reward you heavily."
Then Ning Zhang's voice came.
"But I'm still a little scared. You don't know how nervous I was when Zhao Ya asked me just now. That guy's eyes seemed to be able to see through people. I always felt that he seemed to have discovered something."
"Haha, Aunt Zhang, you don't have to be so afraid. What if this person named Zhao discovers something? If he wants to know something interesting, that's all. If he really dares to dig deeper, then our Paradise Cult will teach him how to behave." The strange woman sneered.
Upon hearing the words "Bliss Sect", Zhao Ya on the roof was slightly startled, and then sneered silently.
It's true that we are enemies on a narrow road.
How many times has this happened to someone from the Paradise Cult?
However, Zhao Ya was not surprised by this result.
From the beginning, he didn't think that Mrs. Ning would do this by herself.
After all, although she was Ning Shanfeng's second wife and not the first wife, she had stayed in the Ning family for more than ten years and lived a pampered and luxurious life.
In this situation, no normal person would do anything like betrayal.
Unless someone is instigating it behind your back.
I just don’t know what conditions Ji Le taught this Ning Zhang to make her do such a destructive thing.
Zhao Ya was not in a hurry and continued to listen.
I heard Ning Zhang say: "Of course I believe in the strength of our Paradise Sect, but I can't sleep these days. I always feel sorry for Ning Shanfeng. After all, he is usually nice to me..."
"Shut up!" the strange woman scolded, and then said seriously: "Aunt Zhang, are you so confused?"
"Ning Shanfeng is usually nice to you, but those are just small favors. How can they be compared with the divine religion that saved you from this evil world of five turbidities? Besides, don't you want to get that elixir and stay young forever? Do you want to enjoy the ultimate happiness?"
At the mention of the word fairy medicine, Ning Zhang's breathing became heavy.
"Of course I do! To be honest, as I grew up, I only understood what bliss on earth is when I took the elixir that day."
"That's right, as long as you are obedient, the Divine Religion will not treat you badly!"
"yes!"
"Stabilize your mentality these two days. If Zhao Ya comes to see you again, you won't know anything about it. I'm sorry he won't be able to do anything to you. I'm leaving."
After saying that, the back window was pushed open, and then a figure jumped out and quickly disappeared into the vast night.
Ning Zhang stood in front of the window with a complicated expression.
She did feel a little guilty towards Ning Shanfeng, but when she thought of the bone-crushing elixir of bliss, she became cruel again.
As long as you can get the elixir and stay young forever, what does a mere betrayal mean?
She closed the window and went back to sleep.
At the same time, Zhao Ya was on his way.
The light body was like an agile swift, gliding silently in the wind without causing any waves.
If you didn't occasionally need to tap your feet on the eaves or corners of the walls, it would be no different from flying.
After entering the peak-reaching realm, Zhao Ya's body as light as a swallow's body technique has reached a height unimaginable by ordinary people.
Not to mention the masters of the same realm, even the warriors at the peak of the four realms are not as fast as him.
So when Zhao Ya tracked this woman from the Paradise Cult, she didn't even notice at all.
After following her around in a big circle around the county town, they finally came to a hidden alley.
The woman looked back to make sure no one was following her, then she stepped forward and knocked gently on the door.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
After a regular knock on the door, the door was opened, and then the woman stepped inside and closed the door again with her backhand.
Zhao Ya stood in the shadows outside the alley watching this scene without rushing into action.
Because he had a vague feeling that someone was spying secretly in this alley.
If you enter rashly, you will definitely alarm the people inside.
So Zhao Ya was not in a hurry, but waited quietly.
After a long time, that feeling just dissipated, and then Zhao Ya entered a state of holding his breath and sneaked over silently.
This is a small courtyard. The lights are on in the house at this time. The woman who just talked to Ning Zhang is standing respectfully aside, reporting something to someone.
"Senior Brother Han, today the Ning family invited Zhao Ya from Dingtai Martial Arts School to investigate the theft from the warehouse."
"I already know about this matter, so did Zhao Ya find anything?" Senior Brother Han's voice was indistinguishable from male to female and was extremely strange.
"Probably not, but he once met Ning Zhang and asked a few questions, so Ning Zhang has been worried that the matter will be exposed."
"Haha, what if it's exposed? Now that the cloth has been obtained, it will be shipped away soon. She is just an abandoned child. Just kill her when it is done. Don't pay attention to her."
"Yes, my subordinate thought so too, so I calmed her down with words just now."
"Well done, I will ask you for credit in front of the hall master after the work is completed."
The woman was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Han. Junior Sister will never forget Senior Brother Han's kindness in nurturing me."
As she spoke, the woman raised her head with a charming smile on her face, "Senior brother, do you need junior sister to accompany you to bed?"
"No need, I had a few more drinks at the merchant reception today and I'm a little tired now."
"yes!"
"You should pay more attention these days. Sui Meimei has left and never returned. The hall master was very angry about this."
Qu Xiaoxiao was shocked, and a hint of joy flashed deep in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up and pretended to be surprised.
"Did something really happen to Senior Sister Sui?"
"I don't know, but the news is indeed broken."
"I heard that Senior Sister Sui went to find the whereabouts of Junior Sister Cheng?"
"Yes, that's why the hall master is so angry. After all, the whereabouts of two people have been unknown for more than a year. Obviously, someone is secretly working against our Paradise Sect."
Qu Xiaoxiao felt awe-struck after hearing this, and thanked him again: "Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me. I will keep it in mind, junior sister."
"Go down and rest."
"yes!"
Qu Xiaoxiao went to the next room.
Senior Brother Han was sitting in the room, and the light shone on his face, which was even more beautiful than that of a woman.
It was Han Suyun who had appeared at the merchant's cocktail party.
