The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

"Xu's mansion was ransacked, didn't you ever suspect Yan Keqing?" Chen Ke pondered for a moment, then continued: "Aren't you familiar with the frame-up methods of colluding with foreigners? After Xu Kuining died, Yan Keqing counted the treasury several times, coincidence?"

Xu Qingfeng frowned, but said nothing.

There were 88 people in Xu's house who ransacked and beheaded. It was impossible for Xu Qingfeng not to feel pain in his heart. It was a massacre, a unilateral slaughter, and Xu's house was powerless to resist——

In other words, Xu Kuining was too negative. He believed that there would be such a day in the Xu Mansion, and arranged for Xu Qingfeng's retreat early, from the medicine for feigning death, to the awakening at the mass grave, to the management of silver and property, and the way to sneak into the palace. Everything went step by step as expected, and Xu Qingfeng also walked on the established path, that is, to prevent King Ren from usurping the throne and bringing chaos to the world.

Xu Qingfeng thought that no one would know what they did, but the word "common life" made everyone in the Xu family, that is, the Zhou family, bloody.

In front of Xu Qingfeng, he watched his father, mother and brother fall down, his eyelids became heavier and his body became colder and colder.

But he knew that after ten hours, only he could open his eyes again, and the rest of the people around him were really cold.

But he never thought that what the Xu family suffered was not the retribution they thought, but a man-made frame.

Seeing Xu Qingfeng's complexion change again and again, Chen Ke didn't reach out to comfort him for the first time, but just waited for Xu Qingfeng to recover slowly.

"My lord, have you found something?" Xu Qingfeng asked after a long while in a daze.

Chen Ke failed to respond to his expectations. He shook his head. When he left the capital, all investigations had just started, and he didn't know much.

Xu Qingfeng couldn't tell if he was relieved, but he just thought that if the 88 people in Xu's mansion were killed by the wrongdoers and the debtors, his heart was like a heavy stone.

If Yan Keqing is really like what Chen Ke said, he is the culprit of everything.Then, from the Jinwang case eight years ago, or earlier, before Yan Keqing came to the capital for the first time ten years ago, this game of chess has already started.

Yan Keqing is playing this game of chess with all his strength, and every matter he is investigating now can involve old cases.

In the end, they all point to Yan Keqing.Xu Qingfeng suddenly felt a sense of oppression, like when playing chess with Chen Ke, watching more and more black parts, bit by bit surrounded by white, devoured, and enjoyed it.

Xu Qingfeng couldn't help trembling, Yan Keqing and Chen Ke were actually very similar.

"What?" Chen Ke saw that Xu Qingfeng seemed to be shaking, and approached worriedly, "Don't think about it, go and have a rest."

"En." Xu Qingfeng nodded, and suddenly remembered after getting off the couch: "How is Zhuozhou?"

Chen Ke also got off the couch, walked in with Xu Qingfeng in his arms, and kissed the tips of his ears comfortingly, "There will be news tonight, and everything should go well." Seeing Xu Qingfeng's ears turn red unnaturally, Chen Ke showed a shallow smile: "Let's go, lie down with you for a while."

Chen Ke's premonition was correct, Zhuozhou's progress was unexpectedly smooth.Guan Hongfeng led a few people pretending to be bandits, kidnapped Lei Jing, demanded a ransom, pretended to tear up the ticket, and successfully bluffed Lei Jing with a real and fake show.

After restraining Lei Jing, Guan Hongfeng sent a letter to Guan Hanzhong, asking for his next move, and Guan Hanzhong only replied with one word: ask.

what?Guan Hongfeng released the pigeon in his hand, looked at the dense forest in front of him, and fell into deep thought.Routine talk is a technical task, and as their kidnappers, they should be more careful.

And in Zhuozhou City, thousands of miles away, the people of Zhuozhou without the governor still live their lives. , restaurants, brothel theaters, and even every household uses it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Although Lei Tao had been dead for a while, the topic of the topic continued until the murderer had been found for a day.

Guan Hanzhong was sitting in the lobby of the inn listening to others chatting.It has been a few days since I came to Zhuozhou, and I got up late today, so it is rare to sit in the lobby and have a meal with others.

They said it was a shared meal, but there was only one person from Guan Hanzhong, and seeing Guan Hanzhong's sturdy figure, big rough palms, and bushy beard, no one dared to come forward to share the table.

"New news!" The person at the next table deliberately lowered his voice, but he could still hear his uncontrollable excitement: "I heard that the bastard died in a terrible way. It is said that his tendons and tendons were all broken..."

This person was in high spirits, but was suddenly interrupted by the person opposite: "It's time to eat..."

The man choked, shut his mouth embarrassingly, and after a while began to mutter again: "It is said that Mr. Lei has found the murderer." The man opposite him ignored him and continued to eat.

There are four people at this table, and they don't look like Zhuozhou people.Guan Hanzhong looked away and ate in silence.

But all the people in Zhuozhou would gloat over Lei Tao's death when they mentioned Lei Tao's death. Although Lei Tao was indeed a young man, and people's tone was not vicious, Guan Hanzhong still felt uncomfortable.

When it's none of your business, right and wrong don't matter. This is the mentality of onlookers.

"Hero, do you mind if I sit here?"

Guan Hanzhong raised his head, and in front of him stood a dark-skinned young man, as thin as a bamboo pole, looking at him flatteringly.After scanning the surrounding tables with vacant seats, Guan Han said two words: "Please..."

This man looked like a hooligan, he didn't order food when he sat down, he just watched Guan Hanzhong eat, and talked to him: "Hero, your knife is very domineering, where did you come from, it's also for Master Lei Was it a reward?"

Guan Hanzhong raised his head and glanced at the person on the opposite side again, his brows hung down, his triangular eyes drooped, his sky was flat, his lips were thin and white, he was short-lived.

Guan Hanzhong ignored him, Liu Hunzi was a little afraid of Guan Hanzhong's eyes, took a deep breath, and planned to continue asking, but Guan Hanzhong threw two more words: "No..."

"Uh..." Liu Hunzi scratched his head and chuckled, "Then what are you doing in Zhuozhou at this time, there are still lantern festivals to watch a few months ago, oops, so you don't know about rewards..."

Despite the chattering of the other party, Guan Hanzhong, upholding the good habit of not talking about food, finished three bowls of rice in silence, got up, paid the bill and went out.

As soon as he left, the people in the inn were visibly relieved, and anyone who looked at a burly person with a bad expression would be terrified.

"Guest officer, go slowly." The waiter carefully sent Guan Hanzhong away, but when he turned around, he was stopped by a person, his expression changed again, a little disdainful and careless. "Liu Hunzi, what are you doing?"

"No reason." The man didn't mind being called a bastard, he raised his chin briskly, indicating the direction Guan Hanzhong left: "That man lives in our inn? What's his background?"

"Who is with you?" The waiter didn't want to talk to him, and wanted to leave as soon as he turned his footsteps.

"Hey——Wang Xiaoer, don't go..." Liu Hunzi pulled the waiter from the inn: "How many years have we been friends——"

"All right, all right, if you ask what they are doing, I still have a job!"

"I'll help you!"

"Add to the chaos." The waiter saw the shopkeeper staring at him, tensed up nervously, walked around Liu Hunzi, picked up the rag in his hand and wiped it here and there, pretending to be busy, feeling the shopkeeper's attention. Looking away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Liu Hunzi still refused to let go, "Hey, just tell me who this person is from."

"I don't know what kind of background he is!" The waiter in the shop was a little annoyed, "He is very rich, he leaves early and returns late, and I don't know about the others."

It’s hard not to be impressed by Guan Hanzhong’s appearance. When Guan Hanzhong first moved in, the waiter in the inn was careful. Guan Hanzhong went out every day, and he didn’t eat in the inn very much. He didn’t come back when the inn was closed at night. The next day, he could be seen walking out of the inn.

Seeing Guan Hanzhong's large knife with a handle still on his body, the shopkeeper also specifically told him to serve him carefully and not to provoke him. Guan Hanzhong was not easy to provoke.

The waiter in the shop rolled his eyes and saw Liu Hunzi's expression, so he knew that he was not pretending to be good, so he waved him away, and Liu Hunzi asked him where he lived.

Thinking of Liu Hunzi's shy face sitting opposite Guan Hanzhong just now, the waiter in the shop said angrily: "Fang A of the local name, don't do those sneaky things..."

Before he finished his chatter, Liu Hunzi turned around and left, leaving behind a figure who thought he was chic.

After leaving the inn, Liu Hunzi walked non-stop to the small restaurant two streets away.

There were two people guarding the back door, who seemed to know Liu Hunzi, and opened the door without further ado.As soon as Liu Hunzi entered, someone led him away, and he quickly went up to the third floor and came to a door.

Liu Hunzi swallowed nervously. After entering the Xiaoguan Pavilion, he lost his air of flamboyance, but was timid, like a dog with its tail between its legs.

"Young master, people are here."

"Come in." A nice male voice came from inside, making Liu Hunzi's scalp tingle, and he slowly walked in.He was terribly afraid of this voice, and also terribly afraid of the man inside.

The man looks very beautiful, with a pair of peach blossom eyes full of various charms, but his eyes are extremely cold, and his methods are also vicious.

"Tell me, find out what you heard."

"I... I didn't find the person you mentioned, my lord, but there is a guest from Hongfu Inn who is not easy to mess with at first sight, surnamed Guan."

Liu Hunzi lowered his head, his palms were covered with cold sweat. He took a look at the account when Wang Xiaoer hadn't confiscated it.

"anything else?"

"He said that he didn't come here for a reward. He lives in House A of a local name and is very rich. He goes out every day, leaves early and returns late..."

Liu Hunzi was already sweating when he said this, but the young man didn't say anything, he was flustered, and he opened his mouth with the ability to tell lies: "He went to see a girl, he brought a big knife, he should be a Jianghu... ..."

"Forget it." The man sitting on him interrupted him very disappointed. Liu Hunzi knelt down and kowtowed to the person in front of him: "Young master, you know so much, please give me the antidote!" The bastard was fighting with each other. If he hadn't been kneeling, he might have peed his pants.

A few days ago, Liu Hunzi lost all his money at Wuheng Gambling House. Seeing that the situation was not going well, he wanted to run away. After a few steps, he was lifted up and his hands were about to be cut off. He shouted that he would do anything , and was rescued by this son.

This young man was so good-looking that he couldn't take his eyes off him, but then he was given poison and asked him to inquire about recent visitors in Zhuozhou City: they must be foreigners who have been in Zhuozhou for a few days. And inquire about the identity and purpose of the other party.

This job was more difficult than imagined. Liu Hunzi got nothing for a few days, and finally saw a qualified one, but his mouth seemed to be welded to death, and he only gave him four words: "please do it" and "no".Seeing that he was about to die from poison, Liu Hunzi wanted to take a risk. Maybe this young man was easy to fool, but he was interrupted after only a few words of nonsense.

"Son, please do me a favor, give me the antidote, what kind of stupa to save someone's life..." Liu Hunzi racked his brains and kept talking, but the other side remained silent.

After a while, Liu Hunzi was sweating all over, and stopped talking, and the young master said, "I lied to you about the poisoning."

Liu Hunzi was taken aback for a moment, then rejoiced, he wasn't poisoned?However, the other party immediately said: "There is no antidote."

"What's the meaning……"

"Drag it out." The man's voice was soft and gentle, but Liu Hunzi heard the killing intent.

"Gong——" Liu Hunzi's panicked voice just came out, and it broke with a "click" along with his neck.

The servants served new tea, but Xiaobie didn't drink it.close?Guan Hongfeng?Or Guan Hanzhong?

"Tsk."

"Young Master?" The people below waited tremblingly, and immediately knelt down upon hearing the sound.

Xiaobie didn't care, thought for a while and said, "Let Miangu come and see me."
