At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there lived a rich man's family surnamed Wan in Dongzhen. Wan's family business was very large, and there were dozens of men working alone. Among these men, there was a mute, and the owner, Wan Dashan, saw that he was thin and afraid that he would not be able to do farm work in the field, so he asked him to get up every morning to clean the courtyard and do other odd jobs.
Although Wan Family was a wealthy family, they had been accumulating virtue and doing good deeds since their old lives. When they did not eat during the drought years, the poor people in the vicinity would come to Wan Family with their pockets to borrow food. If they had it in the autumn, they would pay it back, and if they didn't, they wouldn't want it.
Therefore, Wanjia had a very good reputation in Dongzhen. But because the world was getting more and more unstable, bandits often killed and set fires in this area, and preventing thieves became the top priority. Under such circumstances, Wanjia did not dare to relax in the slightest, and the green bricks on the newly built courtyard wall were at least two meters high. The gate was also very strong, made of oak wood, and there were many iron cannon nails nailed to it.
Every time the hoe is hung, there are often troupes who come to Dongzhen to perform. On this day, a circus troupe came to Dongzhen, with more than 20 men and women. After the venue was surrounded, the performance began as soon as the gong sounded. They not only performed circuses, but also performed large-scale acrobatic shows such as trapeze men in the sky. A discerning person can see at a glance that these people all have unique skills. Looking at this class leader surnamed Yan, with a pointed head, a big chin, and a pair of sinister eyes, he doesn't look like a good person.
Sure enough, after closing the venue, Class Master Yan led a few of his subordinates around the town, seemingly careless, but in fact, they were stepping on the points. Turning around, they came to the vicinity of Wanfu. These people were furious and looked straight at the courtyard wall. Others didn't pay much attention, but Mute, who was cleaning in front of the door, saw it all.
At night, while the people were asleep, Mute opened his luggage and took out a sword from inside. It was a dragon sword, and he put the sword to his waist and hurried out of the room. Mute stood in the center of the courtyard and looked at it, then came to the east corner, his body suddenly rose and stuck to the wall like a gecko.
At this moment, Class Master Yan led his subordinates to the outside of the courtyard wall of Wanfu. During the day, they were already optimistic, and this northeast corner was the best breakthrough. Class Master Yan made a gesture, and at this time, a cat burglar could not hold back. He stood on the wall, looked into the yard, and jumped in.
As soon as this one was cleaned up, the second one jumped off the wall. The mute man's hand holding the sword moved lightly, and the one who came down later was destined for Huangquan.
Two people went in, but there was no movement. Class Master Yan felt that something was wrong, could it be that there was an ambush in this yard? The third one was about to go up the wall, but he held it down. Class Master Yan ordered in a low voice, "Retreat!"
At dawn, Wan San, the first housekeeper to get up, found the two corpses in the yard, and hurried to report to the owner, Wan Dashan. At this time, the family members also got up, and when they heard that someone had been killed, they all gathered around. Someone recognized it at a glance, wasn't that the person who played a circus in town during the day? Wan Dashan sent people to find Class Master Yan, not wanting that this group of people had already disappeared. Only then did he know it was a group of snakes. Wan Dashan felt a chill in his back! However, who helped him kill these two guys and turn the Wan family around? Wan Dashan sent people to investigate for many days, but no results were found.
He had been in the world for so many years, and he had never suffered such a dumb loss. He didn't even get a penny, and he even got along with two brothers, and they didn't even know how they died.
There must be an expert in this Old Wan family, otherwise it would be impossible for those who entered to lose their lives so easily. You know, these two are by no means casual people, one is called "Crane in the Cloud" and the other is called "Hunjiang Dragon", they are both experts in martial arts world.
Class Master Yan sent people to check for several months, but there was still no news.
As usual, the mute man did what he had to do. When he had nothing to do, he stayed alone in the hut.
This winter, the first snow in Dongzhen was particularly heavy, and the ground was more than a foot deep. This morning, Class Master Yan led his men to make a comeback and gave Lao Wan a letter of challenge. He demanded that the person who killed his brother be handed over immediately, or the Wan family be washed in blood!
Wan Dashan looked at this gauntlet and his hands trembled in fright. But even he didn't know who did it, so how could he go to the diplomats? It seems that the Wan family is really about to suffer a catastrophe this time. Wan Dashan thought to himself that there are thousands of people in charge of the family, so I will bear it myself. He told the housekeeper to gather the servants in the yard, and Wan Dashan told everyone: "You have relatives who are relatives, and you have no relatives who are relatives. You can take whatever you want from the valuable things in the house. You should run for your lives quickly, and don't wait here to die in vain!" Wan Dashan's voice just fell, when the mute guy in the crowd suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Wait a minute, I have something to say!" Including Wan Dashan, everyone couldn't help but be stunned: Isn't he dumb?
Mute clasped his fists: "Yes, I am not deaf and mute, but I have no choice but to come to Dongzhen and hide in your mansion. For several years, I have seen very clearly that Wan Family is kind and kind, virtue-based, and cares about the suffering of the common people. This is really commendable. I came here, and the owner did not despise me because I am deaf and mute, but took care of me in every way. I killed two Snitches that day in order to repay my kindness. I was afraid that my identity would be exposed, so I planned to leave, and I was afraid that this group of people would come to find trouble in the mansion again, so I didn't leave. Since they are here this time, I happen to have a break with them! Please rest assured, this matter will never implicate anyone!"
Wan Dashan was deeply moved and said with tears in his eyes: "It's the old man who is clumsy and doesn't know the true face of a hero, so you were wronged in the mansion. The last time you helped, it was a mountain of kindness! This time they came prepared, there are many people, you don't have to take this risk, you should go quickly!"
He clasped his fists and turned to leave. Outside in the snow, Class Master Yan was wearing a black cloak, surrounded by his brothers, waiting for Wan Family's reply. Seeing the door of the mansion open wide, a person was walking like a fly, and in the blink of an eye came to him. Looking at the snow, this person left no footprints.
Class Leader Yan looked flustered and stammered, "Could it be that you... are..." The person who came smiled slightly: "Traveling on Snow Wuhen Tong Feng, a prisoner arrested by the imperial court for many years. Yun Zhonghe and Hujiang Long have done many evil things and have died under Tong's sword. This matter has nothing to do with the people of Wanfu. If you want revenge, Tong is standing in front of you. If you don't have this ability, then don't blame Tong for being ruthless..."
Cold sweat broke out on the head of the class leader Yan at that time. He had long heard of Tong Feng's name, not to mention people like them, even the inner experts around the emperor could not do anything to him.
Class Master Yan forced a smile and clasped his fists: "Tong Daxia martial arts are unparalleled, who doesn't know? It's all my brothers who don't know what's good or bad, offended the heroes, and hope to forgive their sins!" Class Master Yan didn't dare to stop, and immediately led his subordinates away in dismay.
Tong Feng also left Dongzhen. No one knows where he went later, leaving only this legendary story.
