Someone died outside the tower.

The death is not a big deal, but this person is an acquaintance of Yan Qing.

To be more specific, this person is Rong Xiu's old acquaintance, the son of the shop owner Li in the city.

Yan Qing knew that this person had been missing for a long time, so when he heard about him again, he was unavoidably surprised: "I remember that he was a dutiful son, I heard that last year because his younger brother talked back, the scholar dragged his younger brother and knelt outside the door for half the night. "

"That's right," Rong Xiu carried the burden against the fierce sun. She was there to help the Li family. The son of the Li family died outside the city according to the old rules. I added a few more words, "This is how people are. Good people don't necessarily get rewarded. The son of the Li family said that it was his fault that he couldn't teach his younger brother as the eldest son. In fact, he wanted to help his ineffective younger brother. He loves his wife and relies on her for everything, and he doesn't get annoyed when people say that he is afraid of guilt and has no spine."

As she spoke, she saw that the sky was getting darker, she shook her head, and now there was a little more indignation on her usually gentle face, Yan Qing saw some clues and asked a little more: "What does Auntie know?"

"It's also hearsay, but it's good to tell you, you have a lot of connections, and you know if it's true or not."

When Rong Xiu said this, Yan Qing understood that the death of Li's eldest son was probably a little strange. He asked Rong Xiu to go to the flower hall first and then sent someone to investigate the Li family. But when he thought of Yue Zhi's attitude today, he shook his head: "Forget it, I'm afraid you won't find anything if you go."

After Yuezhi said those words earlier, he disappeared, Yan Qing had a lot of doubts in his heart, and seeing Rongxiu put down the burden in his hands, he put down what he had and asked: "Auntie Xiu knows something, why don't you tell me?" Me, maybe I can help too."

"Sigh, it's a crime." After Rong Xiu said, she looked around again. Even in Fengyu Pavilion, she was still vigilant. It seemed that someone important was involved.

Yan Qing pulled the alarm bell of the flower hall calmly, which means martial law. The alarm bell is set where he usually sits. When he pulls it, there will be no sound in the flower hall, but the information will be received immediately on the first floor downstairs. Send someone to inspect.

Rong Xiu didn't know that just at this moment, the masters in the Fengyu Pavilion had surrounded the flower hall, and only looked at Yan Qing's calm appearance before she regained her composure: "The pavilion master also knows that there are more city guards in the city these days, so the Li family My son has some skills in doing business abroad, and I don’t know what rumors he received outside that he was about to flee, saying that he died outside the city, but he was actually beaten to death after being arrested and locked up for a few days.”

"Who was killed, where was it locked up, and why was the body thrown outside the city?"

The question in front of him felt superfluous, but Rong Xiu didn't pay attention to his emotions and said in a low voice: "He was beaten to death by the new-arriving family's soldiers."

"what?"

The new Zhang An?

Where did he get the government soldiers from?

Rong Xiu is a woman who doesn't understand, but Yan Qing understands it most clearly, but the word "private soldier" is a taboo of His Majesty today, where does Zhang An, a small official like a sesame seed, have the courage to provoke His Majesty the Emperor?

Rong Xiu frowned slightly, then shook her head again: "It's not the government soldiers, Li's groom said that those people who call themselves government soldiers look like rogues."

As soon as she said it, Yan Qing understood, I'm afraid it wasn't like, this Zhang An found someone from somewhere, and he didn't have much knowledge, so he dared to call himself a soldier.

"The son of the Li family passed through Wenwu County on his way back to do business, and when he met a disaster-stricken village, he sold the rice at a low price to the local people," Rongxiu said, and suddenly choked up. Yan Qing handed over a handkerchief, and she wiped it. Wiping away tears, he choked up again and said, "Then, those people took that child away..."

She couldn't go on talking, Yan Qing also guessed the ins and outs of the matter in his heart, so he assured Rongxiu and let Rongxiu rest assured that he would handle this matter according to his will, Rong Xiuhong sat for a long time before taking the burden to Li's house.

He sent someone to secretly protect Rongxiu, but not long after he went downstairs, he saw Yuezhi standing at the bottom of the stairs with his hands behind his back, waiting for him.

I don't know if he saw Rong Xiu just now.

Yan Qing was still thinking wildly, Yue Zhi had already stepped forward, seeing Yan Qing frowning, he said: "It seems that the young master has heard something." Yue Zhi's words are subtle, which makes people feel that maybe Yue Zhi knows something .

Yan Qing stopped, and when he stopped, he stepped forward and said a little ambiguously, "I intercepted a letter a few days ago, if you want to know, I will show you as long as you ask."

"How much do you know about Zhang An?"

The more you stop, the less you look.

"Sure enough, he knows." Yan Qing said heartily.

Yue Zhi took out a secret letter and handed it to Yan Qing: "This is the information obtained by the West City Branch."

"Why did you give it back to me?"

"Originally it belonged to the young master, where did you pay it back?" Yue Zhi said, looking at the twigs blown by the wind outside the Fengfeng Pavilion, he said: "Can you please not meddle in Zhang An's affairs?"

This is a request?

Yan Qing looked at Yuezhi with great interest. This child who was regarded as his younger brother in the past quietly took his own branch in the west of the city. Yan Qing really couldn't think of why such a person would ask Own.

"I'm not the type to meddle in my own business."

Yan Qing's answer was ambiguous, but Yue Zhi knew in his heart that if he didn't refuse, it meant he would intervene...

After all, there are many things involved, especially Li Qi.

Yue Zhi was a little disappointed, Yan Qing felt inexplicably uncomfortable, did he hurt Yue Zhi?

"Yuezhi, you know that you will always be my closest brother, no matter what, I will protect all of us."

"Everyone?"

It's ironic.

He once went through despair and faced death directly just to be able to look at Yan Qing for the rest of his life, but Yan Qing thought that every word he said was a child's ignorant joke after all.

But even so...

Yue Zhi looked at Yan Qing's back with softer eyes, but even Bi he still loved this person who had given him all the tenderness.

He turned around and went back to his residence, but he was still thinking about the time when the spies delivered the secret letter during the day, and he could hardly restrain his desire to cut Duke Zhen into pieces.

Now that he had settled down, he looked out of the window, and turned his head again after a while.

"I will clear away all the obstacles in this world that hinder him," Yue Zhi looked at the flickering candle in front of him, but his eyes showed a bit of coldness in the light of the fire.

He always knew that everything he did would be a treasonous mistake, but when he thought of Yan Qing, he felt that there was nothing more important in the world.

He is willing to go against the wind and waves to send this man to a safe place, even if the price is his life, he will not hesitate.

"Master," the man in black was a little hesitant, but he knew Yue Zhi's personality very well, so he closed his eyes and boldly persuaded, "Master's poison cannot be without an antidote. The Duke has already become suspicious of the master. If this time If you can't complete the mission, I'm afraid the National Guild will really kill the master!"

"That old thing dares to covet the young master, and still wants me to work for him again!"

"But if you lose your life, how will you protect the owner of the Fengyu Pavilion? You must not forget, isn't the information about the Fengfeng Pavilion that the Prince of Daliang is thinking of?"
