Little villain [Comprehensive martial arts]

After Zhuge Shenhou finished talking about the "great progress", everyone in the room, including Jiang Rong, was stunned.

After all, no one expected that these two seemingly irrelevant cases actually point to the same place.

"The owner of the sea gold cave is really a character." Su Mengzhen said.

"It's a pity that luck is not very good." Jiang Rong blinked, "Both hit the hands of our Zizai disciples twice."

One time Wei Qingqing accidentally rescued Zhongyuan Dianhong who was hunted down by Xue Xiaoren's killers, and the other time she swam in the Bian River at night and rescued Li Shishi decisively.

Hearing what she said, Lord Zhuge's serious expression relaxed a little.

He reached out and patted the little junior sister on the head, and said, "Yes, it is thanks to you that this matter can make progress."

Jiang Rong let out a hey, and asked again: "Then, what is the brother going to do next?"

Zhuge Shenhou said: "Even if Xue Xiaoren is included, we still know very little about the Golden Cave in the Sea. It is best to pry that person's mouth open."

As for how to pry it, they have their own way as a fast catcher.

They didn't use it much before because they didn't know anything about the identity and purpose of that person, but now that they have confirmed its origin, and then slowly insinuating, it will always be rewarding.

At this point in the conversation, there was a sudden sound of communication outside the house.

Jiang Rong listened intently, and found that the person sent to her residence by the Shenhou Mansion had returned.

The man reported back to Zhuge Shenhou outside the door, saying that he only found out that she and Jiang Yi were not there after passing by, but Yuan Suiyun, who heard that the case of Xue Xiaoren had made progress, took the initiative to follow.

Hearing this, Zhuge Shenhou first glanced at Jiang Rong who was beside him, and then said: "Since the original Shaozhuang owner is here, then bring him here."

The people outside agreed, and after a while, they invited Yuan Suiyun in together.

Yuan Suiyun came in and was not surprised to see Jiang Rong.

He bowed to the owner first, then looked at Jiang Rong, and said, "Sure enough, Rong Rong is here."

Jiang Rong: "Just in time, I came with Master Su."

Yuan Suiyun smiled: "I guess it's the same, that's why I took the liberty to come here, thinking that I can pick you up just in time."

"Huh?" Jiang Rong tilted his head, "I thought you were curious about any progress."

"The progress of the secret book theft case is of course the most important thing." He understated it, but omitted the second half of the sentence.

When Jiang Rong heard it, he didn't think much about it. He raised his head and asked Zhuge Shenhou with his eyes. After receiving a sign of approval, he opened his mouth and briefly explained what he had just heard.

She thought Yuan Suiyun would be like them, happy for this discovery, but he frowned directly after hearing it.

This reaction made everyone in the room a little bit concerned.

Jiang Rong asked him even more curiously: "Do you think there is any problem?"

He shook his head and asked: "Can Xue Xiaoren be 100% sure that this person came from the Golden Cave in the Sea?"

Jiang Rong raised his eyes to look at Zhuge Shenhou, Zhuge Shenhou nodded.

Yuan Suiyun said: "In my opinion, Shenhou might as well make him speak in another way."

"The Golden Cave on the Sea is a place to ask for money, but no matter how much money you have, you have to use it for your life." When he said this, he spoke very slowly, "He suddenly asked Xue Yiren today, which is enough to prove that He really wants to get away right now."

"A very secretive organization in Jianghu must have very strict control over its members."

"So I guess, there should be regulations like how long you have to go back and report back inside the Sea Gold Cave."

Although these words made sense, Jiang Rong still had a very delicate mood listening to him.

Immediately afterwards, something more subtle came again——

"If I were the owner of the Golden Cave in the Sea, I would send my subordinates to steal a treasure or a beauty for me in the Central Plains." Yuan Suiyun said, "I will definitely estimate in advance the time when I can come back and order me to come back." Regardless of whether the matter is successful or not, the subordinates must return to the East China Sea before this time, because the longer they leave the East China Sea, the more traces will be left behind."

"The more traces there are, the more likely it is that the entire gold selling cave will be discovered by righteous people." Wuqing added one more sentence for him.

"Yes." Yuan Suiyun nodded, then changed the topic and continued: "And if he fails to go back in time, as the owner who still wants to maintain this gold sales cave to make money secretly, what will he do?"

Everyone's face changed when they heard this.

But Yuan Suiyun was still calm: "I think this master will choose to keep his mouth shut."

Jiang Rong: "..."

Considering that in the original world line, Yuan Suiyun was the one who founded this ghost place, his analysis is really convincing no matter from the objective point of view or the subjective point of view that she cannot tell others.

Fortunately, she was not the only one who felt that way, almost everyone in the room was convinced by him.

Zhuge Shenhou even pondered: "Indeed."

"But the fact that the second senior brother caught this person is very secretive, and the world doesn't know about it at all." Zhui Ming suddenly said, "Even if they want to silence the golden cave on the sea, they can't find anyone."

"The point is not to silence itself." Su Mengzhen, who had not spoken much, said, "but this person is now in the fear of being silenced, otherwise, with the habit of these people walking around the world without leaving a trace, how could they take the initiative to ask for help?" Xue Yiren makes a move."

As soon as he explained it like this, Zhui Ming understood.

Zhui Ming slapped his thigh, and said: "So what the original Shaozhuang owner means is that instead of trying to make side-splitting tricks, it's better to show him a scene of 'killing the mouth'!"

Yuan Suiyun smiled: "Exactly."

"There are few people who seek money who are not afraid of death at all. When he fell into the Shenhou Mansion's net, he didn't panic at the beginning, but now he is in a hurry to make a bad plan. It is because he knows that the Shenhou Mansion is a chivalrous man who does righteous things. If you can't find out, you won't really do anything to him, but the owner of the sea gold cave is completely opposite, no matter how important his subordinates are, as long as he breaks the rules, he will have no way out."

At such a time, if you acted out a show of silence, and then rescued him at a critical moment, you wouldn't worry that he wouldn't betray you.

Jiang Rong was convinced.

She thinks it doesn't matter whether it's black or not, Yuan Suiyun's IQ in this kind of thing really doesn't matter.

But having said that, it seems that it is not easy to act in this silent scene.

"If what Xue Xiaoren said is true, and this person's status in the Selling Gold Cave is not low, then he should be very familiar with the selling and selling caves." Jiang Rong raised his own doubts, "It's very important for us to act for him. There is a possibility that it will be worn out."

"This is not difficult." Yuan Suiyun said, "Didn't Xue Xiaoren say that the people on that island hardly show their true colors to others?"

"According to his impression, just make a mask. What's more, people are most easily shaken at the moment of life and death, and they can't think so much."

Jiang Rong always felt that he hadn't finished talking.

Sure enough, after he paused for a moment, he continued: "The most important thing is that a person who has the ability to run a gold-selling cave in the sea will never show all his cards to his subordinates, even if he trusts this subordinate again. impossible."

"So the person he sent to silence him is most likely someone he has never had contact with." This time it was Zhuge Shenhou who spoke.

Generally speaking, at such a time, as a person who can't think so carefully, it should be clear to hear.

However, Jiang Rong thought that this "sudden enlightenment" actually came from Yuan Suiyun's assumption based on "if he is in charge of the sea gold cave", he still felt that it was really too illusory.

What is this, the talent of being a shocking villain?

Thinking of this, Jiang Rong couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, he came to the Valley of the Evil to seek medical treatment in time, and he was cured without blindness.

Otherwise, not only would there not be a person with extreme villain thinking ability here to help them analyze it, but it would also make them deal with one more "gold selling cave master" instead.

...that would be really scary.

She was both grateful and scared at the same time. With the change of expression, she naturally attracted the attention of others.

Wuqing was the first to speak, and Wuqing asked her what's wrong, is she uncomfortable?

Jiang Rong came back to his senses, and immediately waved his hands: "No, no."

In order to make her denial sound reasonable, she also made up a reason.

"I was just thinking, if I really want to show him a play, who should play it?"

"It's not urgent." Zhuge Shenhou said, "He is still thinking about escaping back to the East China Sea, which means that there is at least half a month left before the date set for him by the owner of the Golden Cave."

And when the time is almost up, it will also take time for Donghai to send people over to investigate and silence.

Adding up this time and time again, it was enough for the Shenhou Mansion to slowly arrange a lot of things.

Jiang Rong saw that his senior brother had a well-known posture, so he was relieved, and said: "If the time comes when I can be useful, don't be polite to me."

Zhuge Shenhou laughed and said that I am your senior brother, and I should take care of you more.

"Master said that too." Jiang Rong recalled the conversation he had with Wei Qingqing when he was young, and rolled his eyes with a smile, "But I told him at that time, if the senior brother encounters any difficulties, I will also help him of."

Zhuge Shenhou ranked third in their generation. Before Jiang Rong, he had a younger brother, but the two had already broken up.

And his two senior brothers have not been walking around in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so it has been a long time since anyone said this to him.

Now that Jiang Rong said it with a face of reason, it really made him feel a lot of emotion.

All the emotions are realized, but it has become simpler.

"You—" He stretched out his hand, and patted her on the head again, without even continuing to speak.

However, this did not prevent Jiang Rong from understanding what he meant.

She smiled, showing her shell-white teeth, and said, "Anyway, don't be afraid to bother me, I'm always at ease to trouble you, brother."

"Okay, I'll make a note." He finally nodded.

……

Because the matter is so important, it is not easy to leak it out. After returning with Yuan Suiyun, Jiang Rong didn't even explain much about Li Shishi.

Of course, it's not that she doesn't believe in Master Li, but it's better for as few people as possible to know about such an important plan.

It won't be too late to explain the whole story after the matter of selling gold caves at sea is resolved.

With such earnest waiting, the rest of July passed quickly.

Jiang Rong inquired with the Shenhou Mansion, and learned that the emperor was still infatuated with a few newly-appointed beauties recently and had no plans to leave the palace, so he stayed with Li Shishi for a few more days.

In fact, Li Shishi also really wanted to live with them all the time, enjoying tea and enjoying the flowers, but she knew that it was impossible for her not to go back.

If the emperor doesn't come, the literati and scholars who have been friends with her for many years will also come. The excuse of being sick can be used for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Therefore, after the beginning of August, she bid farewell to Jiang Rong and Lin Shiyin.

She had no intention of going home, Jiang Rong and Lin Shiyin had no choice but to send her away.

Considering that the owner of the Golden Cave in the East China Sea is trying to trick her, she is not really safe now, as soon as she returns, Jiang Rong asks Li Xunhuan to release a message.

The content of the news is very simple, that is, the Yuntai collapsed on the night of Qixi Festival, and Li Shishi was rescued by the wicked Guzhu, and he hit it off with the wicked Guzhu and became friends.

After the news was released, almost all the teahouses and restaurants in the capital were talking about her and the two of them.

I just don't know if it's because Jiang Rong's life background is too scary, or because Li Shishi's talent is really unparalleled. The good people in the Jianghu talked about it until the end, not only didn't make any ugly remarks about it, but called it a good thing.

Jiang Rong is very satisfied with this description, after all, in her opinion, getting to know a beauty like Li Shishi on Qixi night is a beautiful thing in the first place.

Just when she was happy about this, Jiang Wuque, who received Jiang Yi's letter from home, also arrived in the capital.

Although Jiang Wuque took over Yihua Palace, he was not very interested in Jianghu affairs, and he rarely moved around in Jianghu in the past ten years.

Therefore, few young people who are in the world today can recognize him. At most, they will look at him a few more times when they see other people who are still very handsome in middle age.

When he was entering the city, he happened to hear someone talking about the villain, Gu Zhu, at a storytelling stand by the roadside, so he stopped and listened for a while.

Storytellers always exaggerate when they tell stories. What is false can be said to be true, and what is true can be exaggerated a hundred times.

When they talked about Jiang Rong swimming in the river to save Li Shishi, they basically followed the heroic and beautiful story in the storybook, but they compiled it neatly. They wished they could describe all the details in words, and then added a bunch of "be brave" and "be brave" to Jiang Rong. The line of love and beauty".

When Jiang Wuque heard the last word, he couldn't laugh or cry.

He couldn't help but ask the storyteller: "Did you see these with your own eyes?"

The storyteller saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, but he was dressed in a dusty suit, and he was not a person who lived in the capital, so he suddenly had the confidence to brag, and said, "That's natural! I was by the Bian River that night!"

After finishing this sentence, he focused on describing how powerful the villain Guzhu was.

The rest of the audience on the side also clapped and applauded at the right time, cheering up the stage.

Jiang Wuque laughed for a moment.

Afterwards, he walked all the way to the west of the city, and found that in the streets and alleys of the capital, there were countless rumors about the wicked Guzhu.

When he arrived at the place where his son and niece lived now, there were at least dozens of different versions of the rumors and deeds he heard.

Therefore, after entering the door and seeing Jiang Rong, the first thing he asked for proof was that she saved Li Shishi.

Jiang Rong: "..."

She was so embarrassed that she wanted to go out and beat up those who knew how to make up things.

"It's not that exaggerated." She softened her voice and acted like a baby to Jiang Wuque, "At that time, our boat was the closest to the Yuntai, I couldn't watch them fall into the water, and I wasn't the only one who made a move."

Jiang Wuque hadn't seen her for more than half a year, and seeing that although she had grown in stature, she was still as close to him as ever, so he also smiled.

"I didn't say you were saved incorrectly." He said, "I'm just curious after hearing too many different theories."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Rong immediately jumped over the topic happily, and began to ask about his health. He also said that the scorching heat in the capital had just passed, and he had traveled hard, so he wanted to fetch iced plum soup for him.

She had this kind of heart, so Jiang Wuque didn't stop her, and let her run up and down to get busy.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the embroiderers hired by Jiang Yi were almost taught by Lin Shiyin, so Lin Shiyin also returned to Li Garden yesterday afternoon.

As for Jiang Yi and Yuan Suiyun, they had a big deal to discuss, and they left early this morning.

So in the house at this moment, apart from the servants, Jiang Rong is the only one.

When the servants saw that Jiang Rong was personally serving tea and water, they certainly didn't dare to neglect Jiang Wuque in the slightest. They all lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye, without saying a word.

However, Jiang Wuque took the initiative to ask them some things, from when he bought this house to who usually came to visit, his words were full of concern as an elder.

"It's been a while."

"That's right, before Mr. Yi came, Miss Rong had arranged this pretty much."

"Usually, Sheng Butou from the Shenhou Mansion often comes."

After Jiang Wuque heard it, he found that although his niece lived outside the customs for a long time, after entering Beijing, she was not as uncomfortable as he had imagined before. On the contrary, she arranged everything in an orderly manner.

He felt relieved, and asked again: "On weekdays, only Rong Rong and Ah Yi live here?"

"And the original Shaozhuang owner." The steward replied.

"That kid from the Yuan family is here?" Jiang Wuque was a little surprised, "When did he come?"

When Jiang Rong brought over the chilled plum soup, he happened to hear him asking this question, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "It was the day my brother wrote you a letter."

After finishing speaking, she signaled to the servants in the room to leave first, so they don't need to wait here.

Jiang Wuque and Yuan Suiyun had actually not met many times.

Back then when Wuzheng Villa went to the Valley of the Evil to seek medical treatment, Wan Chunliu and Su Ying joined forces to treat him, and he and Jiang Xiaoyu went to see him twice.

Later, Yuan Suiyun stayed in the valley to recuperate, and they didn't bother the family too much, and left after spending the winter with Jiang Yi and Jiang Rong brothers and sisters.

In the next few years, they and Yuan Suiyun happened to be staggered again. When one left, the other arrived, and when the other came back, the other left. They hardly saw each other.

The only exception is probably in January of this year, Jiang Yi said that he made an appointment with this good brother to celebrate Jiang Rong's birthday together.

But in the first few days of the new year, Jiang Wuque thought that these three children grew up together, and the young people were more willing to play with each other, so he didn't show up to see people very much, only at the banquet held by the two teenagers for Jiang Rong, Had a brief chat with him.

Jiang Wuque had heard his son talk about Yuan Suiyun many times in the past, and he has always had a good impression of him.

After the two chatted, it can be said that this impression was further confirmed.

Yuan Suiyun is good-looking, good at martial arts, gentle and courteous, and considerate.The only thing that made him a little bit concerned was that, judging by his age, he was a little too thoughtful and too watertight.

Even Jiang Wuque, it was difficult to see what he was thinking.

"Is he here to find you and Ah Yi?" Jiang Wuque asked Jiang Rong.

"Probably." Jiang Rong nodded, "He will officially inherit the Wuzheng Villa next year, so come out now to practice and know that we are all in the capital, so he came here."

Now that this topic has been brought up, Jiang Rong can't help but think of what kind of news Yuan Suiyun brought to his brothers and sisters on the day he arrived.

At this moment, she retreated from the servants, so it happened to be able to talk about this matter thoroughly.

So without waiting for Jiang Wuque to ask any more questions, she continued: "By the way, Uncle Wuque, in fact, the reason why I suddenly wrote to you this time is because of a very important matter."

"This matter is very secretive. It's not good for us to tell you directly in a letter. We have to invite you to come over and talk about it face to face."

Jiang Wuque watched her grow up, and knew that her temper was calmer than his son's. Hearing her serious tone now, he knew that what she said must not be simple.

He paused and said, "Say it."

Jiang Rong thought for a while, starting from Wei Qingqing's accidental rescue of Zhongyuan Yidianhong who was fleeing for his life, he put together all the things that happened in the past few months related to the Golden Cave at Sea, according to the time, one by one. I said it again.

At the end of the talk, she was afraid that her uncle Wu Que would be too worried, so she added a few more words, saying that her senior brother was already investigating and was about to close the net.

"Anyway, after a while, this mysterious place should be revealed to the world." Jiang Rong said, "Don't worry too much. After you go back and find out the mole, Yihua Palace will restore peace."

Jiang Wuque was a person who had experienced great storms, but when he heard that the secret book in the palace was stolen, his expression was slightly different.

But this difference was quickly suppressed, and when Jiang Rong finished speaking, he had already regained his composure.

Seeing him slightly curling the corners of his lips with a smile on his face, Jiang Rong thought that he was relieved after hearing his follow-up explanation, and he was also relieved.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, he put down the plum soup in his hand, and said: "So, what Ah Yi said in the letter is all false, and our family Rong probably didn't think about me or talk about me."

Jiang Rong: "..."

Uncle listen to my explanation!
