In the evening, Liu Han interrogated Mo Kun again, Mo Kun was very refreshing, without the slightest concealment, the bamboo basket poured beans, all poured out, but there was nothing more, he didn't know who Duan Sanye was working for, but he guessed that Duan Sanye had been bought.

"Although Yangzhou is big, it is not big, and you can often encounter it," Mo Kun said with a wry smile: "I live on Huliu Street, only one street away from Dahongmen, and I can often see Duan Sanye coming out of Dahongmen." ”

Dahongmen is a street with the most green buildings in Yangzhou, and the two most famous green houses on this street: Embroidered Hibiscus and Orchid Xiangyuan, also rank in the top ten in Yangzhou.

"A few years ago, Duan Sanye bought a girl, the little lady is very beautiful, so merry, it looks greedy," the corner of Mo Kun's mouth showed a hint of mockery: "But I know, it's not a girl, but his small, with his net worth, he can afford to be small." ”

"You mean, this Duan San Ye was dragged into the water by beauty?" asked Liu Han thoughtfully.

"I don't know," Mo Kun smiled bitterly and replied: "However, over the years, the salary of the internal guard has become less and less, hehe, the adult has not been in the internal guard for a long time, I don't know that the internal guard is actually very hard, several years, or even a lifetime, waiting, just waiting for that order, during this period, no matter what you have, what you want to do, you must give up, the pain in it, only you know." ”

When they said this, Niu Fu and Sister-in-law Song both sighed lowly, and there was a trace of amazement in their expressions, especially Sister-in-law Song, as an internal guard, but she had to be a boat lady in Changchun Lake, not only on herself, but also on her two daughters.

Liu Han could fully imagine what kind of life it was, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Mo Kun had been observing Liu Han's expression, he knew that his life and death were completely in the hands of this Shangguan, and at this moment, seeing Liu Han's expression softened a little, he couldn't help but ask: "My lord, I thought that Duan Sanye had stolen the Gu family's silver, but later, I felt that something was wrong, this Gu Shuo has always been shrewd, even if he succeeds once, it is impossible to succeed again and again, so, my lord, there must be something strange here, my lord can check it." ”

Liu Han shook his head: "What is there to investigate, Gu Shuo is dead, he is the head of Yangzhou's internal guard, and now, all clues have been cut off." ”

Mo Kun Niu Fu Song's sister-in-law couldn't help but be surprised, but then the three of them turned into the ground, especially Mo Kun, now he is considered dead without proof, and no one can prove his innocence.

Niu Fu Song's sister-in-law looked uneasy, although the two of them cleared their innocence, but the other party's recklessness and audacity made both of them feel a little frightened.

"Gu Shuo is killed, it will definitely alarm the palace, and the palace will inevitably send someone to investigate," Liu Han thought about it and said slowly: "The center is destroyed, the Yangzhou internal guard is bound to collapse, and the palace will also rectify the entire Yangzhou internal guard, you have to prepare in advance, if you want to break away from the internal guard, after this incident, I can help." ”

The three of them were surprised, and Sister-in-law Song reacted first, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, sir." ”

Niu Fu also hurriedly knelt down to thank him, Mo Kun looked at Liu Han in amazement, Liu Han stretched out his hand to untie his acupoint, looked at him and said, "You go, whether you can pass the examination of the palace depends on your own ability." ”

Mo Kun hesitated, looked at Liu Han's eyes with a hint of pleading, but Liu Han was expressionless, his eyes were cold, he sighed softly in his heart, got up and saluted Liu Han: "Thank you for your grace not to kill, in the future, Mo will definitely be rewarded." ”

Mo Kun walked out of the room without looking back and walked out of the forest. Sister-in-law Song and Niu Fu looked at his back, and the two exchanged glances, confused.

"Pack your things, you can't live here anymore, you two will leave tonight. Liu Han sat still and commanded, Sister-in-law Song and Niu Fu exchanged glances with each other, and responded in unison.

"I don't think the other party will do anything to you, but you can't be unguarded, after you go out, Sister-in-law Song, you check Changchun Lake for me, Niu Fu, you think of a way to check out the merchants who have cooperated with Baigongfang over the years. ”

Sister-in-law Song readily agreed, Niu Fu was stunned, and said carefully: "My lord, do you mean that I am going back to the city?"

Liu Han frowned slightly: "You shouldn't even know how to change your appearance," Niu Fu didn't dare to say any more, Liu Han continued: "Remember, safety first, I don't want you to take risks, Niu Fu, don't think that the power of the Hundred Workshops is very strong, pervasive, they are not so powerful, hmph, they made a big mistake by assassinating me this time, which exposes their weaknesses, indicating that our exploration direction is right, the lair of the Hundred Workshops is in Yangzhou, or, Yangzhou is their most important stronghold." ”

Liu Han stood up as he spoke, looked at the two of them and continued: "You have to remember that you are the internal guard, the internal guard that makes the world fearful, you have the imperial court behind you, no matter who you are, you dare not openly confront the imperial court. ”

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Song and Niu Fu's spirits suddenly perked up, and Liu Han once again told them to be cautious: "We are not afraid of them, but we are not going to take risks, it is still the same sentence, we must be cautious and bold, I understand no!"

"Understood! ”

The two of them left quickly, but Liu Han did not leave, he lay on the bed for a while, then went out of the room to lie down on the roof, looked at the stars in the sky, and sat up.

In the early morning, Liu Han opened his eyes and sighed softly, the majestic wind blew Buddha, the bamboo forest swayed gently, there were early birds jumping in the forest, chirping, taking a deep breath of fresh air, and the inner breath flowed slowly, he stood up and sighed softly.

Gu Shuo is also a well-known person in Yangzhou City, his killing alarmed the Yangzhou business community, Gu Mansion hung up in white, Gu Chen, the eldest son of the Gu family, and Gu Heng, the second son, went to Yangzhou Mansion to beat the drum to report the case, and Xu Hu, the head of Yangzhou Mansion, took people to the mansion to investigate.

"When did the escaped concubine enter the mansion, what is her name, and where is she from?" After Xu Hu carefully inspected the scene, he called Gu Heng, the second son of the Gu family, and asked.

"That slut's name is Hongzhu, she was originally a dancer from Lanxiang Garden in the east of the city, and she entered the house four years ago. Gu Heng replied hatefully, Xu Hu frowned slightly, and looked at the household registration book in his hand, which was not written like this, it was written that this woman was Xiao Guizhuang in the east of the city, surnamed Qi.

Seeing this, Gu Heng knew what he meant, sighed hatefully, took a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "My lord, my father wanted to accept this slut and find someone to get this household registration, in fact, she was born in a green building. ”

Of course, Xu Hu knows that this is a common method, taking prostitutes as concubines, violating the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, so these rich families use this trick to circumvent it, but in fact, after the Qinglou girl enters the house, the situation has not changed much, the concubine, but the status of the slave is high;

"Lanxiangyuan!" Xu Hu muttered to himself, looking up and looking around, the scene was very simple, there was nothing to investigate, the murder weapon was in Gu Shuo's chest, and he was killed with a knife, Gu Shuo was obviously stabbed without defense.

"Are there any other people in the house?" Xu Hu asked again: "Second son, take a look again, is there any missing property?"

Gu Heng looked at it and replied bitterly: "This is my father's backyard, I don't know, the house has been checked, and there are no other people." ”

"Then ask Ling Ci to see if there is anything missing. Xu Hu said and raised his eyes to look at the courtyard outside the house, most of the people of the Gu Mansion were concentrated here, and standing in front was a middle-aged man, this man looked to be in his thirties, wearing an old robe, and the environment was a little sad in his expression.

Gu Heng promised to go out, Xu Hu was thinking about whether to call two more to come in and ask, when a woman in civilian clothes came in from outside, this woman was wearing a black robe, her hair was wrapped in a clothcloth, and she inserted a hairpin very casually, this woman had a pretty face and fair complexion, unlike ordinary women, she had a long sword hanging from her waist, her expression was indifferent, and her eyes were cold.

"Han Zhutou, why are you here?" Xu Hu did not hide his unhappiness, with a bit of chill in his tone.

Ye Xiu, who is known as Han Liu, also replied expressionlessly: "I heard that there is a woman here who killed her husband and fled, let me take a look." ”

"This matter has nothing to do with Xia Mu, I said Han Zhutou, this is my case in Yangzhou Mansion. Xu Hu is a little jealous of this woman, there are very few female head catchers in the hunt line, but once a woman becomes the head catcher, there must be something special.

"Mr. Xu, don't think about it too much, I just came over to take a look, if it is related to Xia Mu, I will have one more clue, if it is not related, I don't care. Ye Xiu's tone was cold, and he didn't care what Xu Hu thought, and went straight in.

Xu Hu scolded in his heart, but he was helpless, this woman came to the palace a few days ago to hand over the documents of the Tingwei Mansion, Tingwei is in charge of the world's security, is an important minister of the imperial court, and can let the Tingwei Mansion send out the case of catching the head, which is naturally not trivial, Lord Taishou handed over the matter to Xu Hu, but this woman did not appreciate it at all, and just told Xu Hu that she came to inform Yangzhou Mansion, just hoping that it would be convenient to act in the future, and did not expect Yangzhou Mansion's arrest to be of any help.

Since Xu Hu and below, the catchers in Yangzhou Mansion have stayed away from her, neither offending nor taking the initiative to help.

Since leaving Liu Han's room that day, Ye Xiu did not follow Gu Shuo anymore, but instead investigated several of his shopkeepers and Zhao Ming and Xiongmu, this Zhao Ming and Xiongmu are two important figures in Yangzhou's internal security system, and they also have a group of people under them, Zhao Ming is lurking in the Thorn Shi Mansion, and Xiongmu is hidden in the Cao Gang, and he is one of the Cao Gang cadres.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Gu Shuo was actually killed, Ye Xiu immediately understood that there was something strange here, and immediately went to the courtyard rented by Liu Han, and before she arrived at the courtyard, she noticed that this courtyard had been monitored, and she immediately turned around and left.

Liu Han can't be contacted, but she believes that Liu Han is not dead, and he will definitely come back to her in a few days.

Passing past Xu Hu, Ye Xiu rummaged through the bed for a while, lifted the quilt and mattress, tapped it lightly on the wooden board, and then opened the cabinet again and inspected the things on the dresser one by one.

"The woman was in a hurry, apparently not premeditated. Ye Xiu turned his back to Xu Hu and said, Xu Hu sneered in his heart: "How can you see it?"

"Look, this jewelry, pearls, head face, old Liu's rouge gouache, I didn't take it away, and, look at this clothes, hehe, there are silver tickets," Ye Xiu took out a silver ticket from the wardrobe, Xu Hu was stunned, the wardrobe had been checked, it was all women's clothes, I didn't see the silver ticket, but I saw the jewelry.

Xu Hu looked at it, the silver ticket was a little wrinkled, but the amount was not small, as much as seven hundred taels.

"This woman is not simple, Lord Xu, you have to check it carefully. ”

Xu Hu turned around to look, Ye Xiu picked up a small piece of unburned incense in the incense burner, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and threw it to Xu Hu, Xu Hu caught it, sniffed at the tip of his nose in confusion, and his expression suddenly changed greatly.
