488 Strange Shell

Hui Zi noticed that Huo Feng seemed to have found something. He quickly walked over and asked, “Brother Feng, what did you find? Do you have any clues?”

Huo Feng sighed softly and looked up at Hui Zi. He said lightly, “I have to investigate everything myself. Why do I need you, the hall master? Are you freeloading?”

Hearing that, Hui Zi lowered his head in shame. Since they were in Namphan, they were out of the control of the main branch, and the Old and Young Masters were too far away to be able to deal with him. He only knew to take good care of his branch and protect some goods, and that was all there was to his work. He couldn’t do something that took a lot of effort and thinking!

This was already the umpteenth time he had been reprimanded by Huo Feng in the past few days. He knew that he was extremely stupid and only knew how to fight and kill people, so he didn’t dare to be disrespectful or dissatisfied with Huo Feng, who came to inspect the work in the name of his young master.

Of course, he also liked to talk to smart people very much. That meant that he could stop thinking about these complicated things!

“You brought people here to investigate the event location immediately. Is this how you do it?” Huo Feng said a bit angrily. He casually threw the bullet shell in his fingertips into Hui Zi’s hand.

He stood up and continued, “You have eyes and brains, but you don’t know how to use them more! Didn’t any of you see such a huge shell left behind by the other party? How do you usually do things? If I’m not in Namphan this time, how are you going to report the situation to Young Master?”

Huo Feng said as he sized up the bullet marks on the wall carefully and instructed in a low voice, “Send that thing to the Seven Treasures Pavilion and ask Young Master Tang San to take a good look. He’s always been very knowledgeable in this aspect! Just say that I asked you to send it. He’ll give Young Master face!”

Hearing this order, Hui Zi was about to nod in agreement when Huo Feng interrupted him again.

He reached out and took the shell from Hui Zi’s hand, then said to himself, “I’ll make the trip myself! Pack up here. If anything happens again, call me immediately.”

After saying that, he walked straight out of the door without waiting for Hui Zi’s to reply.

Hui Zi couldn’t understand why their Brother Feng changed his mind again. Looking at Huo Feng’s back, he scratched the back of his head and replied respectfully, “Yes! Brother Feng!”

Even though the Seven Treasures Pavilion was called the Seven Treasures Pavilion, it was actually just an intelligence agency that was nominally an auction house. Their main focus was to collect information relating to the business market in Namphan and some secret information about the government. They made a living selling information.

There was nothing wrong with Huo Feng saying that Tang Shan of the Seven Treasures Pavilion was a knowledgeable person!

When Huo Feng worked with his young master in Namphan in the past, he had also interacted with Young Master Tang San a few times. Tang Shan should be very willing to help with this small favor. After all, this was a good thing that he owed Huo Qi a favor.

Tang Shan, who was waving an exquisite folding fan and wearing a brocade vest, lowered his head and looked at the few bullet shells Huo Feng put on his table carefully. A troubled look slowly appeared between his eyebrows.

After a while, he looked up at Huo Feng, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him. “Why didn’t your young master come to Namphan personally this time? He only sent you here alone, but you encountered such a troublesome and complicated matter again!”

Hearing that, a dark look flashed through the depths of Huo Feng’s eyes. He looked at Tang Shan and replied with a faint smile, “The matters at home are more important. Our young master can’t get away. Who would have thought that someone would really be so bold as to come and ruin the Huo family’s business as soon as he came? I know that you’re knowledgeable and well-informed, Third Young Master, so I came to ask you for help this time. When our young master returned to the city last time, he even mentioned that the tea here is very fragrant.”

Seeing that the smile on Tang Shan’s face was getting brighter and brighter, Huo Feng knew that he was happy because of him, so he leaned closer and asked Tang Shan, “So, Third Young Master, did you see anything? Do you know who uses this special shell in Namphan?”

Tang Shan waved the fan in his hand slowly and looked up at Huo Feng with a chuckle, looking a bit mysterious.
