It was already dark, and there was only one oil lamp lit in the hall, and the lone lamp was like a bean, with only a square inch of light.

The old man, who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, leaned on the chaise longue with a thin blanket on his body, and was completely hidden in the darkness, motionless. The slightly sluggish sound of breathing was the only evidence that he was still alive. The old man Zheng, who was full of energy during the day, was actually riddled with many diseases, and he was in pain at night. But what's worse is the heart disease, for several years, the old man has not slept a single sleep, day after day by nightmare night terror, and then in panic to welcome the dawn. As the days go by, he is the most relaxed when it is just dark, because it means ...... The Zheng family has thousands of people, young and old, and spent the day peacefully.

The old man had something on his mind, and after a short rest, he opened his eyes, and saw a familiar figure sitting on the edge of the recliner, so he slowly said, "I'm back." ”

"I'm back, father." Zheng Yan said softly.

"Done?"

"That's it." Zheng Yan said: "It's going well, but the time is a bit long."

"Where's it?"

"It's time for Wang Xian to ask Xiu'er."

"What did Xiu'er say?" The old man frowned slightly, the last thing he wanted to see was extraneous branches.

"She said nothing." Zheng Yan said: "I just asked about the experience in detail." ”

"Why do you do that?" Old Man Zheng frowned.

"I don't know what to do." Zheng Yan shook his head: "Maybe it's a curiosity, after all, it's the first family affair in Jiangnan......"

"Hmm......" Old Man Zheng thought about it and didn't feel any malice, but he still said cautiously: "The sixth man didn't do anything right, he shouldn't let Zheng Hui come back...... He's a hidden danger after all. ”

"Yes." Zheng Yan sighed and said: "This bastard kid is too ignorant, if he hadn't talked nonsense with Shao Yuan, why wouldn't he ......?"

"Let him stay at home honestly and not leave Zhengzhai Town. After a while, when the rumors have passed, I still have to let him go to Fujian, follow his father, and don't come back! Old Man Zheng sighed, he could understand his grandson's homesickness, but for the safety of the clan, he couldn't let him stay in Pujiang anymore.

"Father, rest assured." Zheng Yan responded: "The child will make proper arrangements." ”

"In addition, Wang Xian is going to keep an eye on it." Old Man Zheng closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes again.

"Father, don't worry, most of the people in the yamen are our people, and as soon as he flutters his wings, we will know where to fly." Zheng Yan said with a smile. In this place of Pujiang, the surname Zheng is the king, if you have another surname, you can only stand aside. Although the direct descendants of the Zheng family disdain to go to the yamen to eat mixed rice, those who have come out of the five suits do not have so many worries. The yamen is occupied by the children of the Zheng family, what can be hidden from them?

"Not enough," Old Man Zheng said inadequately: "It's too late for him to flutter his wings, I want to know what he thinks and what he is going to do!" So you can rest assured! ”

"This ......" Zheng Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, his father's caution had reached a pathological level. Wang Xian only trusted the four people he brought from Fuyang, and the rest could not enter his circle. After a pause, he said: "But I see that the two of them are obscene and angry, so why don't you let someone win them over?" ”

"Yes." Old Man Zheng nodded and said, "Don't you let Zhou Gong think of a way, they are in Fuyang County, don't they have a hidden pile, see if you can use it." ”

"Isn't there a lot of labor?" Zheng Yan disagreed.

"The safety of the master is no small matter." Old Man Zheng said categorically: "Tell Duke Zhou, when to plant a nail next to Wang Xian, when the master's safety will be safe." "Yes." Zheng Yan had no choice but to respond.

The words are divided into two ends, Pujiang County, the night is dark and the wind is high, a figure sneaks in the dark, quietly comes to an alley in the east of the city, follows the intermittent crying, touches the roof of a house, and then lurks quietly.

Under the eaves is a newly established mourning hall, and more than a dozen people are crying in plain clothes. There was an old woman sitting beside the spiritual seat, who was actually the old lady Wu who went to Xiya to record a confession today......

Yes, this is the Wu Shaoyuan family who was declared dead, what the old lady said is true, the Wu family has indeed had a good life over the years, and only this three-to-two-story house is enough to explain the problem.

Although most of the Wu family members were guarding the mourning hall, the man in black was still patiently lurking on the roof until the fourth watch, and when he was most sleepy, he quietly climbed to the back house, touched the empty hall, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to check, but did not search for anything useful, until he touched the single knife of a shark scabbard at the bottom of the box...... He casually took out the knife and couldn't help but be stunned.

The master of the inner family has excellent eyesight, and can see things clearly even in the dark, and the man in black is an example. He looked closely, and saw that the knife was longer than a single sword, slightly shorter than a long sword, and the hilt was quite long, so that he could hold the knife in both hands. The man in black held the handle in one hand and the sheath in the other, and slowly pulled out the long knife, and saw the blade with a thick back and a thin blade like a razor, shining with the cold light of the rash.

'What a bite of a hundred refining embroidered spring knives! The man in black gave a secret sigh. He was no stranger to the knife. Because of the brocade guards around Hu Tong, everyone wears such a handle! This is the standard weapon embroidered spring knife of Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei can not wear a flying fish suit, but can not wear an embroidered spring knife!

He knew that the embroidered spring knife was a divine product in the knife, and each handle was made of excellent steel, and it was tempered thousands of times, so the blade was extremely sharp. With a knife in both hands, one cut is enough to cut off the entire horse's head!

Even the rich and powerful Ming Empire is unable to equip the troops with such a treasure sword, and only the Son of Heaven's pro-army Jinyi Guard will have a handle in his hands!

It is also because of its preciousness that it is said that when the ordnance supervisor forges, he will engrave everyone's name on the body of the sword, one knife for each person!

Putting the knife upright, the man in black stared at the blade of the knife for a moment, but found the place where the words were engraved, but he couldn't see the handwriting clearly...... After all, it's dark, and if you can see the outline clearly, it's already very against the sky.

With a secret sigh, the man in black took out a night pearl from his arms...... This one is dozens of times more expensive than this house, but the man in black used it for lighting. Well, the Night Pearl already has this function......

The bright night pearl approached the blade, and the man in black finally saw the handwriting, so he put away the night pearl, put the knife into the sheath, put it back in its place, and checked that there was no trace, and the man in black came out of the back window like a swimming fish, and a few left the Wu family and disappeared into the vast night.

Not long after the man in black left, another man in black came in, and he also began to rummage through the cabinets, but he also found nothing...... Until I found the embroidered spring knife at the bottom of the box. The man in black drew his knife, and also found that he couldn't read the words on it. I actually found a night pearl, and after seeing the words on it, I put away the night pearl, put the knife into the sheath, put it back in its place, checked that there was no trace, and disappeared from the back window like a swimming fish...... If anyone witnesses these two scenes, they must think that either they have visual hallucinations, or the man in black has something wrong with them, and they have to do it again if they don't enjoy it again...... In fact, it's just two people......

The latter man in black walked around the county town to make sure that no one was watching, and then returned to a pleasure boat docked by the river.

The lights on the ship were dim, and there was no beauty to greet her, only a yellow-haired old man.

The man in black tore off his scarf, revealing a handsome face, it was the flawless son Wei Wuji!

The yellow-haired old man waited for him to take off his night clothes, put on the usual Confucian robe and soap towel, and said slowly: "It's good to leave this kind of thing to the old slave, why do you do it yourself?" ”

"There is no danger in horizontal and vertical," Wei Wujian sat down, took a sip of Tieguanyin from the teacup, and said with a smile: "It's all over." ”

"Hehe......" The yellow-haired old man smiled: "The young master is having a good time?" ”

"Not bad." Wei Wuqian said with a smile: "That Wudang kid's light skills are good, but it's a pity that he is a chick, he thinks he is vigilant, but he doesn't care about the tail." I stayed behind him for an hour, and I didn't even notice me. ”

"That's natural, although Sun Biyun's old ghost kung fu is high, but the ability of the disciple is not as good as this sect." The yellow-haired old man laughed. "What's more, how much tempering the young master has experienced since he was a child, how can he compare with the kind of kid who was raised in the deep boudoir?"

"Hehe......" Wei Wujian smiled and said: "Fortunately, I didn't kill that Wang Xian in the first place, this kid is really smart!" After a pause, he said: "But he still can't beat the master's trick 'praying mantis catches cicadas, yellow finches are behind'!" ”

"It seems that the harvest is not small." The yellow-haired old man laughed.

"Hmm." Wei Wuwu nodded and said, "I found an embroidered spring knife in the Wu family, with Wu Tianxi's name engraved on it. ”

"Wu Tianxi ......," the yellow-haired old man said, "It seems to be Wu Shaoyuan's father." "Mingjiao is not an official government after all, and it is more difficult to consult the archives.

"Probably. In any case, Wu Shaoyuan is inseparable from Jinyiwei. Wei Wujian said slowly: "I just don't understand, why did Jinyiwei still stand still after folding the spies?" Since the Zheng family knew that Lu Dao was targeted by Jinyiwei, why didn't they send that person away? ”

"The former question is not difficult to explain," the yellow-haired old man said with a smile: "Wu Tianxi seems to have been a grain chief, it is said that all the grain chiefs at that time were accepted by Zhu Chongba as Jinyi Wei secret agents, and gave them waist plates, seals, letters, etc., and that knife should have come from like this." After a pause, he said: "But later, Zhu Yuanzhang disbanded the Jinyi Guard, and those spies lost their organization and were not recognized by the imperial court." It wasn't until after King Yan usurped and rebuilt Jinyiwei that some secret agents returned one after another. Wu Shaoyuan is almost like this, but there is no Jinyi Wei in Zhejiang, so he has to go to Beijing to worship the yamen! I'm afraid that people will look down on me, so I want to make a great contribution to return to Jinyiwei, and I can get a good position!

"So, it's very likely that Jin Yiwei doesn't know that there is such a person?" Wei Wujian suddenly said: "The latter article, is it also that Wu Shaoyuan's identity is too well hidden, and the Zheng family has not found out?" ”

"Quite possibly." The yellow-haired old man bowed his head. "Wu Shaoyuan's identity should not be recognized, so that the Zheng family will be in the mood to sit firmly in Diaoyutai."
