At dawn the next day, Jiang Fang came back.Not long after Xu Yuqing fell asleep, she was woken up by a knock on the door, but when she opened the door, no one was supposed to come back.

Jiang Fang led them down to the cellar that was connected with Yingxianglou, and he had already briefly explained the previous situation on the way.

"There were too many people rounded up on that mountain, and they had to circle around for a while. Fortunately, I returned to the city before dawn. I knocked out that volley, and the person was just below." Jiang Fang looked a little tired, but his body He didn't even hang up, and after speaking, he patted Xu Yuqing's shoulder reassuringly: "Don't worry, he's fine."

Xu Yuqing smiled, "I'm afraid the most serious injury is the punch you got."

"This Lingkong sounds very familiar with the structure of the other courtyard," Bai Wuzai answered from behind: "It's okay for Gu Linfeng to hang out in there for a few days, but after a long time, I'm afraid that something will go wrong. We have figured out the structure, so we can take care of it."

"That's what it means." Jiang Fang nodded: "There is something interesting about this man."

During the conversation, the three of them had already entered the cellar, and Ling Kong was lying on the ground, before waking up, shopkeeper Zhao was guarding.Jiang Fang moved a chair over for Bai Wuzan to sit down, then took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Bai Wuzan.

Bai Wuzai took it and turned a few pages, raised his eyebrows and smiled, then raised his hand and handed it to Xu Yuqing.

"Account book...?" Xu Yuqing looked at the booklet in his hand, then turned to Bai Wuhai and said, "Is this the actual evidence?"

"A surprise."

Ling Kong, an old Taoist, loves money the most in his life. An account book records it very clearly. It can be traced back to the entry of money collected from various places since he came to Beijing. .Besides, in order to curry favor with the celebrity around this King Chen, the officials of King Chen's faction bribed him with all the stolen money and stolen goods clearly, which is really an ironclad proof.

A few people woke up Ling Kong, this old man was also very acquainted, and he fully explained the whereabouts and sources of the stolen money that he could remember clearly, but he hoped that he could save himself a way out.He has been bluffing and cheating for more than ten years, so he doesn't know about the dirty things in the court, and keeping this account book also means seeking a way out for himself.

"What is your relationship, King Chen, with that Commander Qiu Shuqiu?" Bai Wuzai sat on a chair and asked slowly.

"This..." Ling Kong paused for a moment: "I really don't know about this, Qiu Shu has never been to this other courtyard..."

"In your account book, don't you get very close to the officials of King Chen's family? I also heard that King Chen often invites you to his house. Have you never met Qiu Shu this time?" Bai Wuzai interrupted him.

Ling Kong shook his head: "Qiu Shu is different from those people, I just met this character..." After thinking about it, he nodded: "I've seen it once from a distance, it was designed by King Chen's birthday. During the banquet, he came to give gifts, drank a glass of wine and left. However, he rarely came to Prince Chen's mansion... not like other officials, let alone come and walk with me, I don't even dare to get close." As if to show that what he said was true, he added: "You all must know that Commander Qiu is very skilled. I heard that King Chen used to follow him when he was young. I have practiced martial arts, but it is a pity that I can't bear that hardship, so let's give up. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a useless state now..."

"Fancy but not useful?" Xu Yuqing caught on to an important point.

"Yeah, otherwise, why do you think he asked me to get those medicines?" Ling Kong said, "This King Chen is said to have been obsessed with women since he was twelve or thirteen years old. I hurt my body, and now in my early thirties, my body is starting to fail, so I let you play with those things all day long, isn't it all for the sake of this mouthful! However, I don't know if it is because I can be regarded as half a master. I listen to Chen His Royal Highness usually speaks with meaning but not meaning, and I feel that he is a little afraid of Commander Qiu... This is all my wild guess!" Ling Kong said hurriedly.

"En." Bai Wuzhai nodded, feeling that there was nothing more to ask, so he motioned for shopkeeper Zhao to hand over a pen and paper: "Then please ask the Taoist priest to help us draw a clear map of the topographical structure of the other courtyard." After a pause , He leaned forward again: "Master Dao, you and I are also acquaintances. If you leave my building in the future, if any news leaks... I have no other skills in Yingxiang Building. It's okay to find someone in the world." It's not difficult."

"I know, I know!" Ling Kong said anxiously in his hometown: "You can have someone escort me back to the southwest, and I will serve you there in the future. I will be there whenever I need anything!"

"Okay, let's draw a picture first." Shopkeeper Zhao spread a pen and paper in front of him.

Bai Wuzang nodded to shopkeeper Zhao, got up from his chair, and called Jiang Fang and Xu Yuqing to leave.

After getting out of the cellar, Xu Yuqing said: "According to what he said earlier, the guards of the Taoist temple are not strict on weekdays, and they are extra careful when King Chen is staying overnight. I just don't know how much manpower will be strengthened in the next few days after this incident happened. ...I plan to go to Prince Chen's Mansion first to take a look."

"Don't worry, you're not safe yet," Jiang Fang persuaded. "Wait for two days, when the limelight is over, I'll go to investigate and respond; I've been through it once, and the road is familiar."

"I will arrange for people to investigate the situation of the palace and other courtyards. The less conspicuous this matter is, the easier it will be." Bai Wuzai also disagreed with him, "When his topographical map is finished, what should be done?" How to arrange and plan, you arrange it yourself, and I will leave the people to you to deploy."

Jiang Fang immediately heard another meaning: "Where are you going?"

Bai Wuzai smiled: "There are other clues."

Xu Yuqing understood as soon as she heard it: "Is it the matter of King Chen's life experience that I mentioned earlier? You have a clue so soon?"

"I asked Lao Zhao to find some records for me last night. I have some directions. If I go south for a few days, I should be able to find them." Bai Wuzhai raised the account book in his hand and said, "This thing is indeed It is a powerful evidence, but for King Chen himself, it cannot shake the foundation, nor touch Qiu Shu. Only the word 'life experience' can really make a fuss."

"I'll accompany you," Jiang Fang said.

Bai Wuzhe shook his head: "You stay and help young brother, I'll go find some clues, it's fine, two or three days is enough..."

"Bai Er," Xu Yuqing smiled, interrupting his kindness: "I'm not abolished yet, what can I do by staying in your courtyard? Let him go with you." He turned to Jiang Fangdao again : "It's been so long, I almost forgot, find me a handy tool."

His smile was extremely confident in the morning sun: "I want to unlock."
