Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Before leaving, Lin Fan glanced at a restaurant on the street and vaguely felt that someone was watching them.

After a little thought, Lin Fan understood that the people in the inn were probably Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque.

Some time ago, Hua Wuque caused a big disturbance in the residence of the Minister of Justice in the capital and captured the Minister's son-in-law Hu Zhuo. He is now a wanted criminal of the court.

However, Lin Fan would not seek trouble by dealing with Hua Wuque.

He left the place without any regrets and continued on his journey with everyone.

A few days later, the group arrived in Yichang City, in front of Jiang Biehe's mansion.

"I wonder what is going on, my Lords?"

When the doorman of the Jiang Mansion saw the Jinyiwei coming, his face changed slightly and he hurried forward to ask respectfully.

Lin Fan said, "Please inform Hero Jiang that Captain Lin Fan of the Embroidered Uniform Guards wants to see him and has brought him an old friend."

"Master Lin, please wait a moment. I will go and inform you right away."

Upon hearing this, the doorman hurriedly and respectfully agreed, then quickly went into the mansion to report.

Not long after, the doorman returned.

In front of him, there was a monk in green robes, coming with a smile on his face.

He had clear eyebrows and bright eyes, a handsome face, and an extremely elegant demeanor.

There is no doubt that this person is Jiang Yuyan's father Jiang Biehe.

"My name is Jiang Biehe, nice to meet you, Master Lin!"

Jiang Biehe walked quickly to the door, bowed to Lin Fan and spoke politely.

Although Jiang Biehe is quite famous in the martial arts world and is also the son-in-law of Liu Xi, the governor of the Western Factory, he does not put on airs in his dealings with others. Instead, he keeps a low profile.

Lin Fan clasped his fists and returned the greeting, saying, "Master Jiang, you are too polite. It is I, Lin, who should greet Master Jiang."

"It is a great honor for me that Lord Lin has come to my humble home. Please come to my house for a chat," Jiang Biehe smiled slightly and extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Lin Fan nodded slightly, then turned to the crowd and said, "Uncle Zhou and Miss Jiang, come with me. The others will wait outside."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, all the Jinyiwei responded respectfully.

Jiang Biehe said with a smile: "Why don't you all invite the brothers in for a cup of tea."

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Jiang to have the mansion prepare some tea and send it over."

"Okay, Lord Lin, please come in," Jiang Biehe nodded in agreement and then invited Lin Fan into the mansion again.

"Mr. Jiang, please!" Lin Fan also made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Biehe.

Afterwards, the two of them walked side by side, and Zhou Meng and Jiang Yuyan followed behind them.

After entering the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Biehe ordered tea and snacks to be served, then asked Lin Fan, "I heard from the servants earlier that Lord Lin brought an old friend for me. I wonder what this means?"

Lin Fan glanced at Jiang Yuyan beside him and smiled slightly, "This girl is called Jiang Yuyan, and she is the descendant of an old friend of Hero Jiang. I'd like to ask Miss Jiang to tell me the details."

Next, it was the scene of Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Biehe recognizing each other as relatives.

When Jiang Biehe learned that Jiang Yuyan's mother had passed away, he couldn't help but show some regret.

Jiang Biehe also learned from Jiang Yuyan why Lin Fan met her and sent her to his house, so he stood up and bowed to Lin Fan.

"My daughter is indebted to Lord Lin for rescuing her. I am deeply grateful. In the future, if Lord Lin needs me for anything, please feel free to ask. I will never refuse!"

Lin Fan quickly stepped forward and helped Jiang Biehe up. "You're too polite, Mr. Jiang. I just happened to come by chance and it was just on my way."

"By the way, I've already brought those two thieves who deceived your daughter here. As for how to deal with them, it's up to you, Mr. Jiang, to decide."

"Thank you," Jiang Biehe thanked Lin Fan again after hearing this.

After they chatted for a while, Jiang Biehe's wife, Liu, suddenly came over.

Jiang Biehe gave a brief introduction to both parties.

When Liu learned that Lin Fan was only a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, she immediately stopped taking him seriously and acted as if she didn't want to talk to him.

Lin Fan didn't want to stay in the Jiang Mansion any longer, so he stood up and said, "Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, Miss Jiang, I have official duties to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Before Jiang Biehe could speak, Liu said directly, "Since Master Lin has something to do, go and do it."

Jiang Biehe said, "I'll see Master Lin off."

"I'll go see Lord Lin off too," Jiang Yuyan said crisply.

Liu snorted coldly, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Biehe, remember to come find me after you send Lord Lin off."

After that, he turned around and left.

Jiang Biehe smiled awkwardly, and then together with Jiang Yuyan, he sent Lin Fan and Zhou Meng to the gate.

"Hero Jiang, Miss Jiang, please stay!"

After reaching the door, Lin Fan clasped his fists and said.

Jiang Biehe bowed and said, "Master Lin, take care."

"Lord Lin, I don't know when we can meet again," Jiang Yuyan suddenly mustered up the courage to say.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "When I finish my business and return to Beijing, I will pass through Yichang. If I have time, I will visit the Jiang Mansion again."

Afterwards, Lin Fan exchanged a few polite words with Jiang Biehe, handed the two scoundrels over to Jiang Biehe, and then continued on his journey with the Jinyiwei.

Time always passes quickly when you are on the road.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

That day, a group of people rode fast horses to the gate of Fuwei Escort Agency.

The Fuwei Escort Agency, which was once majestic and magnificent with its grand gates, is now in a mess.

The door plaque of the Fuwei Escort Agency lay crookedly on the ground, with traces of footprints on it.

The vermilion lacquered gate was in tatters.

The stone lions on both sides of the gate were covered with filth, and two blood-stained flags were stuck to the lions' heads with the blood.

"Go in and take a look!"

Lin Fan took a casual look, dismounted, and said lightly.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone responded in unison, jumped off their horses in an orderly manner, and followed Lin Fan into the courtyard of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

There was nothing special in the compound except for the dark bloodstains and various dirt.

All the houses in the courtyard were turned upside down, but there were no signs of fighting.

Everyone searched the Fuwei Escort Agency. Zhou Meng frowned and whispered:

"There are almost no signs of fighting inside the Fuwei Escort Agency. It seems that the person who attacked the Lin family is much more powerful than the Fuwei Escort Agency."

"In addition, all the rooms in the Fuwei Escort Agency have been searched many times. It's obvious that they are looking for something."

Lin Fan nodded slightly, "Uncle Zhou is right. I heard that back then, Lin Yuantu practiced the Exorcism Sword Technique and was quite famous in the martial arts world."

"If I'm not mistaken, what those people are looking for is probably the Lin family's Sword Manual of Exorcism."

Zhou Meng asked, "Since the Lin family has such powerful swordsmanship, why is Lin Zhennan so weak?"

"Who knows, maybe he hasn't practiced enough." Lin Fan shrugged slightly.

"Let the brothers disperse and inquire about the situation in Fuzhou City. Uncle Zhou, you should go to the government office in person."

"Okay, you have to be careful," Zhou Meng nodded in agreement, and then reminded Lin Fan, and then he and the Jinyiwei separated.

After everyone dispersed, Lin Fan wandered around Fuzhou City for a while.

After night fell, Lin Fan sneaked into the darkness and headed straight for the Lin family's old house in Xiangyang Lane.

Lin Fan had just arrived at the Lin family's old house when the familiar voice of the system sounded in his mind again.
