Back in the room, Liu Han was sitting behind the bookcase, looking through the accounts, this account is the recent start of the salt number expenditure, now the salt number has just been photographed, the salt field must also be repaired and sorted, in addition, the coarse salt purification equipment provided by Liu Han is being manufactured, which requires a lot of money.

Gu Heng walked over nervously, standing in front of the bookcase, Liu Han looked at it carefully, Gu Heng became more and more uneasy, and explained in a low voice after hesitation: "My lord, this is the salt number of the lowly and people's joint venture. ”

Liu Han lightly signaled and asked Gu Heng to sit down, and Gu Heng sat down carefully.

After a while, Liu Han looked up at Gu Heng after reading the entire ledger and asked, "This salt number has a good prospect." ”

Gu Heng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and was thinking about how to reply, Liu Han said again: "I believe you also understand the danger of the internal guard, you should think about it, whether you are still willing to stay in the internal guard, if you are unwilling, I can ask the palace for you to let you out." ”

Gu Heng was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Han to actually propose this, he immediately began to guess, whether this was a deliberate test or sincere.

"Don't think about it, your identity has been exposed, these three are dead, but the people who know your identity are still alive, these people are not easy to mess with, one is not good, and it is not difficult for the whole family to be destroyed. ”

Gu Heng hesitated, he heard it, Liu Han should be sincere, but.... , is it good for yourself to quit the inner guard?

Thinking about the purpose of joining the internal guard, Gu Heng hesitated even more in his heart, Liu Han didn't disturb him, got up and looked in front of the bookshelf, there were many books on the shelves, and the books in this era were all placed horizontally, not vertically like in the previous life.

Gu Shuo still collected a lot of books, Liu Han flipped through them, and actually read most of them, there were eyebrow criticisms on them, and the words were written in small sizes, under this light, it looked very laborious.

Liu Han knew what Gu Heng was thinking, as an internal guard, although it was very dangerous, there were also benefits to internal guards, and this benefit was reflected in the property, those low-level internal guards were certainly difficult, but once Gu Shuo was at such a level, there was a strong internal guard system to support him in the back, and he would not get twice the result with half the effort.

Gu Heng's expression was uncertain, but it didn't take him long to understand that he couldn't leave the inner guard, even if this Shangguan was willing to speak for him in the palace, but if he really left the inner guard, it would be really difficult to say what would happen in the future, and stay in the inner guard, even if his identity was exposed, wouldn't it be better, Yangzhou officialdom, the gate lord and the wealthy family, who would dare not give face.

"My lord!" Gu Heng quickly stood up and saluted Liu Han: "My subordinates are willing to stay in the inner guard and serve the imperial court." ”

Liu Han didn't look back: "Serving the imperial court? hehe, the internal guard is not serving the imperial court, the internal guard is serving the emperor, understand?"

Gu Heng was slightly stunned, and replied honestly: "Subordinate, subordinate doesn't understand." ”

"To serve the imperial court, you must abide by the laws and regulations of the imperial court, and to serve the emperor, you can ignore these things, as long as you are not discovered. Liu Han said lightly.

Gu Heng immediately unfolded a scene in his mind, and Liu Han continued: "This is very simple and complicated, for example, if I order you to kill the Yangzhou Assassin History, if you serve the imperial court, you must abide by the imperial court regulations and collect the evidence of the Yangzhou Assassin History, but if you work for the emperor, you only need to create a copy of the evidence of the Yangzhou Assassin History, and then kill him." There are nuances between the court and the emperor. ”

Gu Heng understood, no wonder those officials in the imperial court changed color when they mentioned the internal guard, it turned out that the power of the internal guard was so great.

"Understand this, you should know that the identity of the internal guard must be kept secret, you can't trust the court officials, you can't trust the gate lords, you can't even trust your colleagues, in a way, they are all your enemies. ”

Gu Heng took a deep breath and replied, "My subordinates understand. ”

"The purpose of telling you this is to tell you that you should always be vigilant, and that people at home, people outside, and people outside should be more mindful when they come into contact. Liu Han said: "Lingzun is a lesson, you must keep it in mind." ”

"Yes. Gu Heng was shocked, this was a warning, and he hurriedly asked, "Does the Lord mean the salt?"

"There's nothing wrong with the salt number," Liu Han said lightly: "I checked those people for you, and you have been under my gaze all this time." ”

Gu Heng was shocked at first, then relieved, and hurriedly said: "If there is such a big incident in the family, it is of course that adults will review their subordinates. ”

Liu Han nodded: "The family should be investigated, remember, learn the lessons of Ling Zun, and also learn the lessons of Gu Wei, and now that you are in the open, you must be more careful in your every move." ”

Liu Han didn't say anything more, everything that should be mentioned has been mentioned, it depends on Gu Heng himself how much he can comprehend, if he can't do it, he will die sooner or later.

There are still a lot of things to do tonight, out of Gu's mansion, he stopped in an alley, and soon a pretty figure came out from the side, Liu Han changed into a set of clothes under her service, took advantage of the moonlight, made a simple makeup, and then unfolded his body and galloped towards the west of the city.

Along the way, the two of them were silent, and when they arrived at the place, Liu Han stopped, Ye Xiu was still standing behind him, Liu Han looked up at the tall courtyard, the yard was full of white paper, in the moonlight, gently fluttering with the wind.

"You wait for me around here, be careful. ”

Liu Han unfolded his body and quietly entered the yard, the night was already very deep, he landed under a tree, the yard was fragrant with flowers, and the surroundings were silent, he stood under the flower tree, waited quietly for a while, and then came out of the bushes.

There was no dark whistle in the courtyard, which made Liu Han a little surprised, the moonlight passed through the clouds and fell on the small building, covering the small building with a layer of silver light, Liu Han gently fell outside the window on the second floor, and his body was stuck on the wall like a gecko.

The room was silent, not even breathing, Liu Han frowned slightly, entered the room through the window, and by the moonlight, the bed was neatly made, without the slightest trace of sleeping.

Liu Han's brows furrowed even deeper, he didn't leave there, turned around and sat down cross-legged in the corner of the house.

I don't know how long it took for someone downstairs to open the door.

"Ma'am. ”

The girl's figure was a little immature, Mrs. Fang seemed a little tired, and answered in a low voice, followed by the sound of washing, and after a while, the sound of stairs sounded, and a Miaoman's figure came in.

As soon as Mrs. Fang entered the house, a voice came from her ears: "Madam, please retreat." Mrs. Fang frowned slightly, and walked into the house quietly, the girl put the lamp in a white lampshade, and the other girl put the kettle on the table.

"Go down, I want to be quiet for a while. ”

The two girls went down, Mrs. Fang looked back around, but she didn't find anyone, she looked back, the window had been opened, and sighed softly.

"Since the gentleman has come, please come out for tea. ”

Liu Han quietly fell behind Mrs. Fang from the roof, and bowed down: "I've scared Madame, please forgive Madame." ”

Mrs. Fang was full of emotion, and suddenly heard the voice, without the slightest panic, she slowly turned around and looked at Liu Han, a trace of surprise flashed between her eyebrows.

"It turned out to be Willow..."

"Liu Mo. Liu Han reminded calmly.

"Yes, it's called Liu Mo," Mrs. Fang nodded slightly, moved to the side of the bookcase, her fair-skinned and slender fingers gestured slightly, Liu Han was not polite at all, and walked over, Mrs. Fang sat down first, and Liu Han sat down at this time.

"I don't know what Brother Liu means here?" Mrs. Fang picked up the teapot and poured him a glass of water.

"The Fang Gang leader commissioned me to go to the imperial capital, for more than a year, the rudder has been operating normally, but Liu is incompetent, and I haven't heard much valuable information, but a few days ago, I suddenly heard that the Fang Gang Leader was killed, and I was deeply shocked, so I went south, came to take a look, and worshiped the Gang Master. ”

Liu Han said a lot, Mrs. Fang kept staring at him, did not interrupt him, and only after he finished speaking did he signal to drink water, Liu Han thanked him first without the slightest caution, and then took a sip of the teacup.

"You have a heart, I thank you on behalf of my husband. Mrs. Fang replied, and then sighed softly: "But if Brother Liu wants to worship, he can come a hundred days ago, and he won't be embarrassed if he wants to come to the Cao Gang." ”

"It's been seven days since I arrived in Yangzhou, and I have doubts about the death of the gang leader, although Xiao Lan is very strong, it is possible to sneak attack the gang leader, but the problem is, I think, he wants to kill the gang leader, which is very suspicious. Liu Han thought about it and said: "What's more, there are a few brothers in the gang who are walking with the gang leader, they shouldn't be able to escape from any of them, I think there must be something strange in them." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Han looked up at Mrs. Fang and said slowly, "I want to see the remains of the gang leader and your brothers. ”

Mrs. Fang was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Liu Han to actually mention this request, after a little contemplation, she shook her head slightly: "I'm afraid you guessed wrong, Xiaojie, they have checked, there are two fatal injuries of the late husband, one is in the back of the heart, and the other is ......." ”

Mrs. Fang didn't want to say any more, and sighed softly: "My husband told me when he was alive that the people in the rivers and lakes are dead, but I just didn't expect it to come so quickly. ”

Liu Han shook his head: "Madam is not from the rivers and lakes, she doesn't know about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and hiding her wounds is the easiest way to do it, and, madam, since the other party dares to kill the gang leader, is there anyone in the gang who is cooperating with them? Simply attributing the murderer to Xiao Lan is too simple, madam, I ask Madam to help me and let me examine the body of the gang leader." ”

When Liu Han said about the gang, Mrs. Fang's expression became solemn, and she was silent for a while, and she nodded: "Okay, I'll let you see." ”

After saying that, he got up, Liu Han came out through the window, and Mrs. Fang knew that he didn't want to meet the girl downstairs, so she didn't say anything.

The mourning hall is set up in the front yard, the whole yard is white, the night is already very deep at this moment, the mourning hall is empty, there are a few Cao Gang men guarding the yard, these people saw Mrs. Fang, did not come forward, still guarded around, only the leader of the small leader came to greet.

Mrs. Fang simply sent the little leader, and then walked into the mourning hall, she first put a pillar of incense in front of the spirit, and then knelt in front of the spirit.

Liu Han appeared in front of the spirit like a ghost, and he, like Mrs. Fang, first gave Fang Zhen a pillar of incense.

"Helper, I will accuse you first, this move is forced by helplessness, and I ask the helper to forgive me. After finishing speaking, Liu Han walked to the coffin, the material of the coffin was very good, very heavy, and the paint surface was very smooth.

Pushing open the lid of the coffin, I saw Fang Zhen's body, the body was well preserved, this was because the ice cubes opposite the coffin were changed every hour, so the body was well preserved.

Liu Han saluted Fang Zhen again: "I'm sorry, helper, I can't let you die in vain, please forgive me." ”

Untying his clothes, Liu Han carefully examined the wounds on the front and back of his chest, Fang Zhen didn't have many wounds on his body, just two, one stabbed from the back to the front of his chest, and the other cut off his head.

"The gang leader is famous for his knives, why didn't the gang leader's knife accompany the burial?" asked Liu Han.

"I didn't find the knife," Mrs. Fang replied faintly, still kneeling in front of the spirit.

"No knives?" Liu Han was slightly surprised.

"Oh, I found the hilt, and the knife shattered. Mrs. Fang remembered, after the Cao Gang found out that Fang Zhen was dead, they immediately reported to the official, and the masters of the gang rushed to Jiankang, and now found Fang Zhen's knife handle and the broken blade.

Liu Han nodded, he looked at Fang Zhen's neck, Fang Zhen's head had been sewn up, he hesitated, the stitching lines were very tight, he hesitated slightly, and saluted again.

"The helper is offended. ”

After speaking, Liu Han took out the scissors and cut the sutures, seeing the wound, he couldn't help but gasp, the wound was smooth, there was no trace of distortion, he couldn't help but be stunned.

In the middle of the ring, Mrs. Fang saw him standing by the coffin in a daze, not knowing what he was doing, she couldn't help but tighten her eyebrows, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Liu, did you find anything?"

Liu Han didn't answer, he just kept thinking about it, and after a while, he put Fang Zhen's head on it, then took out the needle and thread and stitched it again.

"Well, ma'am, I'd like to see the other brothers. Liu Han turned around.

Mrs. Fang hesitated, frowned, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Well," Liu Han nodded, "But I'm not sure yet, I want to see the other brothers again." ”

Mrs. Fang didn't ask any more, this matter was too important, and no one dared to talk nonsense without being sure.

The two of them went to the side hall again, there were five corpses in the side hall, all of them were Fang Zhen's entourage guards, Liu Han checked their bodies one by one, this time he still checked very slowly, each body was stitched up, he took it apart one by one, carefully checked the wounds, and then sewed it up, and after checking the five corpses, the sky was already slightly white.

"Madame, let's go back and talk. Liu Han clapped his hands.

Mrs. Fang stared at him, Liu Han's expression was calm, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

Mrs. Fang didn't ask anything, turned around and walked out of the mourning hall, Liu Han came out of the window of the room, easily avoided the patrols along the way, and returned to the small building in the backyard.

After waiting for a while, Mrs. Fang came back, and in just a few steps, Liu Han could see that her expression was not as relaxed as just now.

"I'll wash my hands first. Liu Han said, Mrs. Fang obediently called the girl, brought two basins of water up, Liu Han washed his hands, and then sat down.

"Out of Xiao Lan, at least there is one more person. Liu Han didn't wait for Mrs. Fang to speak, and said: "The sword behind the gang leader should be stabbed by Xiao Lan, but the sword in the neck is definitely not something Xiao Lan can do, this person is several times higher than Xiao Lan,"

Speaking of this, he hesitated: "Madam, do you know the Hidden Immortal Gate?"

"Hidden Immortal Sect? This is the Jianghu Sect?" Mrs. Fang frowned slightly, and looked at Liu Han in confusion, obviously, she didn't know about this.
