There were no external injuries on his body. What really killed him was a palm on his chest that directly broke his heart.

Fan Xiaodao asked, "He stays here at night?"

Tang Bufan pointed to the coffin where he was lying before, "Usually, he spends the night in the coffin." At this time, Fan Xiaodao noticed that there were bruises on his fingers, as if he had scratched something.

Fan Xiaodao came to the coffin, slapped it away with his palm, lifted the upper coffin board, and stood on the ground. He only saw three words written on the coffin board: "Sanxian Village".

It should be that he didn't die immediately after being hit in the palm, leaving clues on the coffin with his fingers.

"Sanxianzhuang, where is it?"

Tang Bufan said: "There are three major chambers of commerce in Tianliang City, which control most of the business in Tianliang City. Among the three major chambers of commerce, there are three elders, Song, Zhumei, who call themselves the Three Friends of Suihan."

Fan Xiaodao said: "Three Friends of Suihan? It sounds like a pretty elegant name."

Tang Bufan said: "Although their names are elegant, they are all dirty businesses. Elder Dasong, the elder, controls the leather goods and smuggling business in the city, Elder Zhu, the second elder, controls the grain, oil, rice and flour business in the city, and Elder Mei, the third elder

, controlling the brothel, casino, and restaurant business in the city. The three elders each have their own division of labor, but over the years, they have been arguing constantly, fighting openly and secretly to grab business, so they built Sanxian Village outside the city, where they often opened

A place for meetings and settling disputes. What’s strange is that you just entered Tianliang today, so how can you form a feud with the three major chambers of commerce?”

Fan Xiaodao asked, "What is the relationship between Tianliang Horse Thief and the three major chambers of commerce?"

Tang Bufan said, "The Tianliang horse thieves are bandits, and the three major chambers of commerce are merchants. There are some differences in nature. However, over the years, the Tianliang horse thieves have often used the channels of the three major chambers of commerce to sell stolen goods, and there may be some internal dealings.

"

"Apart from the Tianliang horse thieves and the three major chambers of commerce, what other forces are there in Tianliang City?"

Tang Bufan said: "The biggest force is probably Tianliang garrison general Chang Liang. He is the nephew of Yanmen's general Chang Guang. He has three thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Tianliang City to resist the wolf soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, the imperial court took back Phoenix Ridge.

Later, in the past two years, the number of wolf soldiers' incursions decreased, but the garrison still remained. It was regarded as the local emperor. The court tried to set up prefectures and counties here several times, but in the end they failed. It is said that Chang garrison caused trouble among them.

"

I didn't expect that the relationships in a small border town would be so complicated.

Sanxian Village outside the city is highly suspicious.

It was late at night and the city gate was closed.

If you want to investigate Sanxian Village, you can only wait until tomorrow morning.

After the two made an appointment, Fan Xiaodao returned to Tianxiang Inn and prepared to go back to his room to rest. When he came to the backyard, after washing up, he heard someone shouting, "Who is Fan Xiaodao and Mr. Fan?"

Fan Xiaodao opened the door and said, "I am."

When the two waiters saw him, they came over with a smile and said, "Master Fan, someone asked us to bring you a gift. Please sign for it."

Behind them is a carriage.
