After a few days of busyness, even a master with deep internal strength like Liu Han felt a little tired, he slept very peacefully, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Xiu's affectionate gaze, he didn't get up immediately, but looked at Ye Xiu.

The eyes of the two met, Ye Xiu felt very comfortable, there was a kind of warmth that had not been seen for a long time, at this moment, she seemed to be in a stable and warm harbor.

After a long time, Liu Han opened his mouth to break the silence: "What time is it?"

Ye Xiuxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, her red lips curled, and she was slightly unhappy: "It's more than half the hour, are you hungry?"

Liu Han nodded: "It seems to be a little." ”

Ye Xiuyan smiled, got up and was about to fire, Liu Han turned over and sat up: "Don't be busy." ”

"Then Nacheng, the master is going to be hungry, and when I go back, the master of Tianna will not skin me. Ye Xiu said with a smile, scooped a scoop of rice from the rice bowl, and began to cook.

Liu Han glanced at her, estimated that it was impossible to stop it, so he lay down again, and after a while, a smell of vegetables wafted in the room.

Ye Xiu's movements were very quick, and it didn't take long to prepare two dishes and beckon Liu Han to eat.

"You're pretty good at it. Liu Han casually praised two sentences, and Ye Xiu was immediately happy when he heard this, and happily picked vegetables for him.

"You eat too, and when you're done, I have something to tell you. Liu Han said with a smile, Ye Xiu held his cheeks with one palm, and tilted his head to look at him with a smile.

Liu Han finished eating a few times, Ye Xiu served a bowl to eat, Liu Han made himself a cup of tea, Ye Xiu hurriedly put down the bowl when she saw this, Liu Han asked her to eat quickly, and she still had something to explain later.

After Ye Xiu heard this, he hurriedly sped up, ate in three or two, put down the bowl and looked at Liu Han.

"Look for a chance to check this person. Liu Han said and wrote down the address and name of the person, Ye Xiu read it silently twice, burned the note after writing it down, looked up at Liu Han and asked, "Who is this?"

"I don't know who it is, but I killed Gu Shuo's concubine and fled to him that night, was killed by him, and threw it in the river behind. ”

"Ah!" Ye Xiu was surprised: "Master, how do you know?"

"The palace gave me a few people, and I let people keep an eye on this Gu Mansion all the time, and I saw it with my own eyes. Liu Han said, Ye Xiu understood.

Liu Han said again: "You have to be careful when you check, don't attract the attention of others, during this time, he must be very careful, Gu Shuo has been infiltrated, this Yangzhou Yamen, I'm afraid it's difficult to say, so you have to be especially careful." ”

"Don't worry, the slave understands. Ye Xiu nodded, and then frowned and asked: "You shouldn't find anything in this way, such a person must have a legal identity to cover, master, the slave and maid feel that it is better to directly arrest him and torture him to extract a confession, hehe, just like the master does to the slave and the maid." ”

Liu Han shook his head: "You don't know yet, I suspect that this guy is related to the Hundred Workshops, don't underestimate the enemy, the strength of the Hundred Workshops is probably more than our estimates," Speaking of this, he sighed softly: "The mysterious great master rumored in the rivers and lakes is probably in the Hundred Workshops." ”

Ye Xiu was taken aback, Liu Han looked at her and said solemnly: "I haven't told anyone this news, the reason why I told you is that I am worried that you will act rashly, you must be cautious, do not take risks, if there is no way for a while, you would rather not move for a while, than startle the snake." ”

"The slave and maid understood. Ye Xiu nodded, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she was extremely moved.

Liu Han looked up at the window, it was already dark, Ye Xiu saw it, got up to him, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his waist, and whispered: "Master, don't leave tonight, okay, let the slave serve you well." ”

Liu Han patted her hand: "The good days are behind, and the matter of the Gu family still has to spend some effort, these hundred workshops, hehe,....。 ”

Ye Xiu attached it to Liu Han's back, and after a while, Liu Han patted her hand, she reluctantly let go, Liu Han turned around and told her to be careful again, and then opened the door and left, Ye Xiu didn't send it out, and stood in the house for a while, before turning around and cleaning up the room.

After Liu Han went out, he was still careful to avoid the crowd on the street, although it was dark, the city guards did not come out to patrol until after the second watch. Entering Yangzhou at night, there is no difference from the daytime, the streets and alleys, the sound of silk and bamboo is endless, and in the casino, there is joy and anger shouting, and the noise is constant.

Gu Mansion is very quiet, there are still white flags hanging on the door of the mansion, and the lantern at the door is still white, Liu Han walked around Gu Mansion, he didn't find anyone watching, he didn't rush in, but found a corner in the back and stayed there quietly.

According to his mother's wishes, Gu Heng fell out with his eldest brother at the family meeting of the split family after the first seven, and his mother followed the eldest brother to the garden outside the city, and now this huge Gu Mansion belongs to him alone.

He knew very well that taking over the Gu Mansion was just the beginning, he began to count the internal guards, Gu Jian handed over the internal guards' files to him, and these files were placed in Gu Shuo's study, but in this study, Gu Heng had been to it several times, but he had never seen these files.

Gu Heng has been reading these files for the past few days, and the more he looks at them, the more shocked he becomes, Gu Jian also explained that the internal defense has suffered a lot of losses over the years, and many manpower has not been replenished.

Just looking at the file, there was a knock on the door outside, Gu Heng frowned slightly, closed the file, and looked up to call in.

The door opened, a fragrant breeze blew, and a pretty woman came in with a plate.

"Second young master, I see that you didn't eat anything for dinner, this is the lotus seed soup I made, you fill it up. ”

The woman said and put the bowl on the desk, Gu Heng smiled bitterly in her heart: "Eleventh aunt, why bother you, just let a girl come." ”

"Didn't the eldest young master take the girl away, the few left in the house, they will serve people. Aunt Eleventh said and walked behind Gu Heng, and a pair of soft wattles took Gu Heng's shoulders and slowly rubbed them.

Gu Heng didn't stop it, he ate slowly, and the woman whispered while pinching it: "The master is gone, the second young master, in the future, you will rely on you to support you alone in and out of the house, you can tell your aunt what you want, and your aunt will get it for you." ”

"Aunt Xie cares. Gu Heng replied quietly, and the woman hesitated: "Second Young Master, the slave family heard that you are going to send us all to Guanli, Second Young Master, please have mercy on Second Young Master." ”

Saying that, the woman pasted it up, two balls of soft flesh gently kneaded on his back, Gu Heng laughed twice, leaned back very enjoyably, squinted his eyes and said: "Aunt Eleven, don't worry, what was the family, what is it now, you tell your aunts, there is no shadow, don't listen to those people chewing their tongues." ”

Sending these women to Guanli was proposed by Gu Jian, and the mansion has changed a lot now, the original head Gu Wei left with the eldest brother, and the head of the house inside and outside the house has changed.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still clinging to Gu Heng's back, Gu Heng looked at the file in front of her, her heart was itching, and she reluctantly said after a while: "Aunt Eleven, I still have something to do, you go back and rest first." ”

The woman pinched him on the shoulder a few times, then twisted and went out, smiling back at him when she was done.

This eleventh aunt is not very old, more than a year younger than Gu Heng, and it has only been three or four years since she entered the house.

Gu Heng continued to look at the file, the door suddenly opened, Gu Heng didn't raise his head, his brows furrowed slightly: "Didn't you say it, I still have something." ”

The person who came didn't speak, Gu Heng couldn't help but be angry, and he looked up and was about to scold, but saw a masked man standing steadily in the room.

"You, who are you?!!!" Gu Heng was a little flustered, he knew how many secret sentinels there were outside this room, but this person actually broke into here quietly, there was no warning signal outside, it was obvious that the other party's skills were superb, and he was by no means an opponent of his own ability.

"What are you going to do?!!!" Gu Heng's voice trembled, and his face turned pale.

The masked man walked over slowly, his eyes were bright, staring at Gu Heng, Gu Heng was very frightened, he wanted to scream but didn't dare, after a while, the masked man snorted: "If you let that woman stay just now, now you are a corpse." ”

"You, who are you?" Gu Heng felt that this voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember, he had heard it there, and he subconsciously closed the file.

The masked man stretched out his hand and put a jade plaque on the table, Gu Heng picked up the jade plaque, the texture of the jade plaque was ordinary, and a jumping fish was carved on it, Gu Heng suddenly remembered, his expression changed greatly, and he got up to salute.

"I've seen adults. ”

Liu Han waved his hand lightly: "Your father's affairs are already known in the palace, and I have full authority to deal with this matter, this is a warrant in the palace." ”

Liu Han said and put a warrant in front of Gu Heng, Gu Heng picked it up carefully, and sure enough, it was an order from the palace.

"Your Excellency. Gu Heng didn't know what to say, Liu Han sat down casually: "Although Gu Shuo is dead, he also made a big mistake, as the head of Yangzhou's internal security, he actually let the spy sneak into the house, damn it!"

Gu Heng looked embarrassed, but he didn't dare to refute, Liu Han continued: "It can be seen that Yangzhou's problem is not a small problem, it is a big problem, Yangzhou internal guards must be screened, and everyone must be screened." ”

Gu Heng looked nervous, with the situation he knew, his own life and death, and even the life and death of his family, were in the hands of the person in front of him.

"In the Gu Mansion, all the internal guard files must be sealed, I will send someone to take them away, today, you first find out the list and give it to me, in addition, call the internal guards in the Gu Mansion, well, those who can access the core secrets, I will get to know them." ”

"Yes, sir. Gu Heng walked to the door and was about to clap his hands, Liu Han said: "The guards outside won't wake up until dawn, well, so let's call the people in the house who have access to these files first." ”

"Yes, sir. Gu Heng agreed to open the door and go out, and after a while, he brought two people back, Gu Jian, the head of the inner house, and Gu Shuo's henchman Gu Kang, who was in charge of contact.

Liu Han looked at Gu Jian and Gu Kang, and was slightly satisfied, this Gu Shuo was still very cautious except for his mistakes in women, such a big Gu Mansion, only these few people could enter the study.

"I've seen adults. Gu Jian and Gu Kang saluted Liu Han together, and Liu Han nodded casually: "Tell me yourself, your position and scope of responsibility." ”

Gu Jian and Gu Kang obviously already knew Liu Han's identity, but Liu Han was now masked, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.

"His subordinate Gu Jian, now the head of the Gu Mansion, is responsible for assisting the master in handling various things. Gu Jian bowed down and replied, his answer was very vague.

"My subordinate Gu Kang is in charge of the East Courtyard in the house, and he is actually in charge of the liaison between the government and various places, and I am responsible for the liaison between the government and various places. Gu Kang replied.

Liu Han looked the two of them up and down, Gu Jian, in his thirties, with a restrained bearing, a calm expression, a very ordinary face, thick hands, obviously practicing some kind of palm kung fu; Gu Kang was not tall, looked a little thin, and occasionally flashed his eyes, revealing his shrewdness.

"Gu Jian, how many years have you been in the mansion?" asked Liu Han.

"Back to my lord, seven years and eight months. Gu Jian bowed and replied: "Back then, my subordinates went downstream to the rivers and lakes, fighting with people, but fortunately they were rescued by the master, and their subordinates entered the mansion because of this." ”

"What about you?" Liu Han turned his head to look at Gu Kang.

"Back to the adult, the subordinates are the sons of the Gu family, urinating in the Gu family, when he was seven years old, he practiced martial arts with the family's nursing home, and later the master invited two masters, and his subordinates practiced martial arts with them. Gu Kang's voice was calm, but the tone of his voice hid a trace of grief and indignation.

Liu Han didn't care, and then asked, "How is your cultivation?"

"The subordinate martial artist Wupin. Gu Jian replied immediately without hesitation, and Gu Kang hesitated a little before replying: "The subordinate has mediocre qualifications, and now he is a warrior of the eighth grade." ”

Liu Han looked at Gu Jian with a slight contemplation: "In this way, Gu Shuo, Lord Gu usually handles official affairs with you to assist on the side?"

"Yes, sir. Gu Jian said.

"The palace ordered to track down the order of the Hundred Workshops, has Lord Gu already conveyed it?"

"It's been passed on, but so far, no valuable clues have been found. ”

"Do you think Master Gu was killed, does it have anything to do with the Hundred Workshops?" asked Liu Han abruptly.

Gu Jian shook his head hesitantly: "My subordinates don't know, there is no evidence to prove that it is related to the Hundred Workshops, and only by catching the woman will it be clear." ”

"Who does Master Gu have a grudge against on weekdays?" Liu Han asked again.

"Nope. Gu Jian replied: "Lord Gu is very careful on weekdays, never grudges with others, and openly grudges with others, which is a taboo for internal guards, Lord Gu knows this matter very well, and his subordinates have followed Lord Gu for nearly eight years, and I have not seen adults grudge with others, and the reputation of adults has always been very good in Yangzhou." ”

"Never had a grudge against anyone?" Liu Han's expression was obviously unbelieving.

Gu Jian hesitated and said calmly: "Over the years, my subordinates have seen adults and quarrels, but they have never had a grudge against anyone. ”

Liu Han nodded slightly, the job of the internal guard is mainly to collect intelligence, if you have a grudge with someone and have a bad reputation, it is a big taboo for intelligence collection, but Liu Han still doesn't believe it, I'm afraid that the people who make Gu Shuo dislike are already dead.

"Does that woman have any clues?" Liu Han changed the question.

Gu Jian shook his head, Gu Heng said hatefully: "That woman doesn't know where to go, I have searched all over the city and outside the city." ”

The subordinates thought that the woman was probably dead. Gu Kang suddenly interjected, and then shut up.

"This judgment makes sense," Liu Han got up and said, "Half a night, how far can that woman run? At night, the four doors are closed, how far can she run? Hmph, the people behind her will keep her to die, it is her final belonging." ”

Gu Heng sighed heavily, Gu Jian's expression was calm, obviously, his judgment was also like this, the woman was ninety percent dead, except for the corpse, which was not found.
