I made the villain right.

In the mansion, no one knew how long they had been waiting.

Li Muci showed impatience and yawned.

"I waited until I was tired."

At this time, Qin Yixian saw Leng Yue rushing to the main hall, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, someone is coming."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Leng Yue had already walked into the main hall.

Qin Yixian couldn't wait to ask, "You've come just in time. How's the investigation going?"

"No trace of the traitor was found, but my subordinates discovered a secret room. After investigation, it is confirmed that someone has lived in the secret room recently."

After these words came out, the smile in Qin Yixian's eyes froze, and he frowned and asked: "Is the person living here a traitor?"

Leng Yue shook her head: "I don't know."

Qin Yixian's face darkened when he saw that she had been investigating for so long and only found this result.

"Didn't a neighbor see a suspicious man and woman enter? Have you checked with them to confirm that the man and woman are the traitors?"

Leng Yue looked embarrassed, "I have verified it. Some of the informants have never seen the two people's faces, and those who have seen them all said that they are not traitors."

The more Leng Yue spoke, the weaker her voice became.

Qin Yixian's face became increasingly gloomy as he listened. He was not satisfied with this result.

I thought I was confident, but it turned out to be a false alarm. I suddenly felt ashamed.

But the others were happy in their hearts.

There was a hint of joy in Shi Jin's eyes. Fortunately, they didn't find anything.

But she felt unhappy when she heard them calling her a traitor.

Fan Hua's lips curled slightly. All this was within his expectations. His lips curled slightly.

The sitting Li father and son looked at each other with peace of mind, and a look of understanding flashed in their eyes.

Qin Yixian thought there were still some suspicious points and decided not to miss any clues.

So he calmed himself down and looked at Li Muci intently.

"I still have some questions that I need your help to explain."

Li Muci raised his eyebrows: "Prime Minister Qin, please speak."

"Who lives in that secret room?"

Li Muci glanced at Li Zhi intentionally, with a look of difficulty on his face. He was unable to speak, as if he was acting according to his expression.

Qin Yixian narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this.

"Your Li family is still a suspect, and we need the cooperation of the prince. If you are unwilling, I don't mind using other methods to make the prince speak."

Qin Yixian's first words were a warning.

After hearing this, Li Muci pretended to be frightened and waved his hands to refuse.

"No, no, I'll tell you the truth."

He thought for a moment and said frankly, "The person living in the secret room is my cousin Fan Yuheng. My cousin Wei Mingyue has also been here before. The three of us are both brothers and sisters and card friends. We often get together to play Pai Gow. My father is strict and doesn't allow me to play these things, so I asked them to come here to play secretly."

Shi Jin raised an eyebrow when he heard it.

What is going on? Why are cousins ​​involved?

She felt that there were some things Fanhua had not made clear to her.

In contrast, the one who overreacted was Li Zhi. He became furious after hearing this.

He angrily scolded: "You unfilial son, you played mahjong behind my back again, and even went there to disturb your aunt's peace! I will beat you, you unfilial son!"

Of course, Qin Yixian was stunned after hearing this. He felt like he was being fooled, but he didn't quite believe what Li Muci said.

He looked at Li Muci with an inquiring look and confirmed, "Is that true?"

"It is absolutely true. If Prime Minister Qin doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate."

Li Muci looked confident and frank, and he didn't seem to be lying, which made Qin Yixian suddenly doubt his own guess.

Qin Yixian saw the performance of the Li father and son today. They were calm and composed from beginning to end, not panicking at all, and no one could detect any flaws.

It was just a guess of his in the first place, and now that he had no evidence, it would be difficult for him to deal with the Yunbo Marquisate.

At the same time, he felt a little shaken.

His intuition has always been accurate. Could it be that he miscalculated this time?

Qin Yixian lowered his eyes and said nothing.

As soon as Leng Yue entered the room, Qin Yixian kept asking her about the results of her investigation, but she had not yet had the chance to tell him the news about Wujimen.

Seeing that this was the right time, she immediately handed the note to Qin Yixian.

"When I came here, I received an urgent report from home."

Qin Yixian took the note and looked at it, his face instantly darkened.

The Yuncheng branch was not small in scale, with many disciples, yet it was destroyed by the Fengyun Pavilion overnight, and they used the Sky-shaking Bomb, which showed that they had a lot of Sky-shaking Bombs in their hands.

Then Fengyun Pavilion is very likely to be able to refine the Sky-shaking Bomb!

This news immediately disrupted Qin Yixian's thoughts, and now he needs to sort them out again.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Qin Yixian had to withdraw.

He immediately stood up, looking somewhat apologetic.

"Now that the truth has been clarified, it seems that everything is just a misunderstanding. I have urgent matters to attend to at home, so I will leave first and come to apologize another day."

After saying this, he walked out in a hurry.

When everyone saw him leave, the tense nerves finally relaxed.

Shi Jin muttered to himself: Finally, this big Buddha was taken away.

"Why are you here at this critical moment?" Li Zhi stared at them and asked.

The two looked at each other with some surprise on their faces when they heard this.

If they hadn't explained, Li Muci would not have recognized them at all, Qin Yixian was even more aware of them, and Li Zhi actually recognized them.

"My lord, you can actually see through our disguises. You must have a pair of magical eyes," Shi Jin asked in amazement.

Li Zhi explained.

"A person can change his appearance, but his temperament will never change. You two have extraordinary temperaments, and I can still find clues if I look closely. Of course, I also determined your identities because of Mu Ci's unique name for Miss Jin'er."

She was slightly embarrassed, “I see.”

When Fan Hua heard the "unique name", a chill lingered between his brows.

He didn't like Li Muci calling her like that, and he felt unhappy at the moment.

She turned her head and caught a glimpse of his expression, her eyes fixed.

Uh……

She laughed dryly and quickly said, "This title is a thing of the past."

Fortunately, Qin Yixian didn't know this name, and his attention was all on the Li father and son, otherwise, with his sharp eyes, he might have discovered something.

When he thought about it carefully, Jin felt a little scared.

At this time, Fan Hua changed the subject and responded to the question Li Zhigang had just asked.

"We have been secretly watching Qin Yixian's movements. When we saw him coming to the Marquis' Mansion, we thought something was wrong, so we followed him."

"I saw Qin Yixian left in a hurry just now. It seems that something happened. But did our plan succeed?"

"It should be," Fan Hua said.

Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Someone is searching Jiuqu Lane now. It's inconvenient for you to go back. You can stay at the mansion for now." Li Zhi

"Thank you," Fan Hua and Shi Jin said in unison.

Li Zhi was thinking about his sister's ancestral hall, so he said: "I don't trust those people to do their work. Now I have to go to the private house to check the situation. Mu Ci, you have to entertain them well."

"Um"

Li Zhi left after seeing Li Muci's response.

In the main hall, the three of them sat down to drink tea and chat.

After this game, Shi Jin still had some doubts in his heart.

So she asked, "Ayu, how did you even calculate the neighbors?"

Fan Hua said calmly: "We have a common way to obtain intelligence, which is to get information from neighbors, so I took advantage of this and did something."

Shi Jin's eyes turned and he thought: "So those informants were bribed by you?"

Fan Hua shook his head. "Things that can be solved with money may not be reliable. If Qin Yixian investigates the informant strictly, we will be exposed at any time."

Shi Jin suddenly realized and said, "That's true."

At this time, Li Muci couldn't help but interject and praised Fan Hua generously.

"You are very rigorous in your work. You grasped this point accurately, cleared the suspicion, and defeated the enemy in one move."

Shi Jin became more curious after hearing this, and she asked with interest: "How did you do it?"

"I first asked Du Xuan to blend in with the neighbors and gather intelligence. The purpose was to check if any neighbors nearby had spotted you and me, to ensure that there would be no risk of our whereabouts being exposed."

Shi Jin felt something was not right after hearing this.

"If Du Xuan goes to each household to inquire, won't that arouse suspicion?"

"Instead of asking every household, we went to where all the neighbors were to get information."

"Where is that?" Shi Jin asked doubtfully.

"There is a beverage shop in Jiuqu Lane, and its business is booming. Every evening, neighbors in the lane come there to drink tea and chat. Du Xuan, dressed as a new neighbor, blends in with them and gets information from their chat."

Shi Jin was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Fan Hua could even notice these seemingly useless details.

She was surprised and said, "We have only been in Jiuqu Lane for a short time, and you have discovered this."

"Sharpness and insight are essential qualities for a killer. I have been trained in Fengyun Pavilion for many years and have already developed an instinctive reaction. No matter what I do, I must be cautious. Now that you and I are being hunted by Qin Yixian throughout the city, I must be extra cautious."

Shi Jin originally just wanted to praise Fan Hua, but he never expected to hear what he said. He couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Wouldn't it be tiring for someone like him to have to stay alert all the time when doing everything?

Shi Jin's eyes were filled with heartache and pity, and she reached out and held his hand.

He seemed to notice her change in mood and held her hand tightly, as if silently telling her that he was fine.

Li Muci, who was standing by, didn't understand all this. Seeing the two of them showing off their love under his nose again, he coughed twice and signaled them to be careful.

The warm atmosphere was broken, Shi Jin glanced at him suspiciously, "If your throat is uncomfortable, drink some tea to moisten it."

At first glance, the tone of her voice when she said this seemed to be one of concern for him, but upon closer listening, it seemed to be one of disdain for him.

Li Muci said resentfully: "There are people here, pay attention, just talk, why hold hands, take your hands away from me"

Unexpectedly, Li Muci's words aroused Fan Hua's rebellious nature, and he planned to go against him.

Fan Hua curled his lips and smiled. Not only did he not let go, but he held her hand even tighter.

He joked: "This is the fun between lovers, you don't understand"

"Cut~"

Li Muci turned his head away proudly.

Shi Jin sighed helplessly when he saw the two of them arguing again.

Then she said: "Ayu, please continue."

"After some investigation, we found out that someone did see us, but they didn't see our true appearance. However, they were sure that they saw the prince frequently coming to Li's house, and his behavior was suspicious."

After hearing what Shi Jin said, he immediately understood some things.

Qin Yixian had already suspected the Yunbo Marquisate, but he had no evidence against them.

The corpse found in the pond focused Qin Yixian's attention on Jiuqu Lane.

Later, during the search, he learned from the informant about Li Muci's suspicious behavior, which gave him an excuse to deal with Yunbohou Mansion.

Therefore, Qin Yixian came to Yunbohou Mansion hoping to wait for something to happen, but he got nothing.

Fan Hua's plan is to let Ran Ke develop the Sky-shaking Bomb to raid Wujimen's Yuncheng branch and completely dispel Qin Yixian's suspicion of Yunbohou Mansion.

It is not easy to refine the Sky-shaking Bomb, so they thought of another countermeasure.

If that fails, they can just make a defective product to deceive the enemy. As long as they kill all the people in the branch, and then spread the news that Fengyun Pavilion has the Thunder Bomb, they will be able to confuse Qin Yixian.

Seeing Qin Yixian leaving in a hurry just now, I thought the plan was already accomplished.

Now that Qin Yixian's house is on fire, he has no time to take care of anything else.

Shi Jin was thinking when he heard Fan Hua continue speaking.

"The informant's ambiguous testimony will give Qin Yixian the opportunity to search and interrogate Yunbohou Mansion, so we have to use the informant to give the other party an answer we have set, and wash away the suspicion that Yunbohou Mansion is colluding with us."

Shi Jin nodded in understanding: "So, you let Li Muci's cousin pretend to be you and me?"

"Well, Fan Yuheng and Wei Mingyue's figures are similar to you and me, so it would be more appropriate for them to pretend to be us."

Then he glanced at Li Muci and finally stopped at me.

"I'm asking him to take Fan Yuheng and Wei Mingyue and pass by some neighbors' doors, so that they can see Fan Yuheng and Wei Mingyue's faces and replace them with the real ones. No matter how Qin Yixian asks the informants, they will only think that the people they saw that day were Fan Yuheng and Wei Mingyue."

Hearing this, Shi Jin turned his gaze to Li Muci and asked worriedly, "Are Fan Yuheng and Wei Mingyue okay?"

"Don't worry about this, everything has been arranged, there will be no problem"

After hearing what Fan Hua said, Shi Jin felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but complain.

"It turns out that I've been eating and drinking for free all this time, and you two have done a lot of things behind my back."

Li Muci and Fan Hua looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

Shi Jin thought for a moment and sighed, "I hope this matter can be resolved soon, so that it will not be in vain for all the efforts we have made."

Fan Hua looked at her with a firm look in his eyes and said, "I will definitely do it."

Li Muci on the side lowered his eyes and said nothing. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.

He was wondering what was going on with his father.
