Gu Shuo was killed, the escaped concubine Qi was arrested for the official painting, the legend in the market was a peachy incident, two days after the arrest of the fast house investigation and search, it died down, the Gu Mansion did not urge, the funeral was still being done, Xu Hu was not under much pressure, Ye Xiu checked for two days, and after confirming that the woman who escaped had nothing to do with Xia Mu, he did not ask about the case again.

Gu Shuo's case, after shaking Yangzhou in the first two days, soon disappeared in the prosperity of Yangzhou, the autumn product is approaching, the interest of the scholars quickly turned to this, the green building in the city, the painting boat on Changchun Lake, the beautiful mountain Taoist temple, are crowded with scholars with a full stomach.

The Gu family's bloody case is like a gust of wind dissipating in the gorgeous poetry of the scholars.

After Li Yan learned of the Gu family's bloody case, he was immediately shocked, and immediately ran to find Liu Han, and also found someone watching near the house rented by Liu Han, he also turned around and left, shocked in his heart.

The other party actually dared to blatantly monitor, which shows that the other party has absolute strength, but you must know that Liu Han is a top-grade grandmaster cultivator!

Spy on a high-grade grandmaster!!

This top-grade grandmaster was still sent by the palace, and he had the strong support of the internal guards behind him!

How dare they do this! This is a declaration of war against the internal guards! A declaration of war on the palace!

Li Yan came quietly again at night, but for three days in a row, Liu Han's courtyard was quiet, there was no movement, and the marks he left were still there, and there was no response, which made him very frightened, and he didn't know where Liu Han went.

In the past few days, he has been inquiring about the Gu family, the peachy rumors in the market, he doesn't believe it at all, who is Gu Shuo, the highest person in charge of the internal security in Yangzhou, such a person will be killed by a concubine who steals people?

Therefore, he immediately began to investigate, who dared to kill Gu Shuo.

He inquired about the news near the Gu Mansion during the day, and even put on makeup to go into the Gu Mansion to investigate, befriended a fast catcher in the fast house, and took out most of the facts of Gu Shuo's case from his mouth, and at night, he quietly entered the Gu Mansion and hid outside the rooms of several main figures of the Gu family to eavesdrop.

Liu Han's disappearance made him vigilant, he rented a yard again, it turned out that the yard had not been retreated, so he stayed there, and went to take a look every day, after three days of observation, no one was watching near his house, that is, the opponent had not noticed him.

Sitting in the tea shop on the side of the road drinking tea, Li Yan looked at the pedestrians on the street with some frustration, and the two scholars next to him unscrupulously said loudly about the book meeting of Chaotian Palace, Chaotian Palace is the largest Taoist temple in Yangzhou City, and it is also the oldest Taoist temple.

"This brother, why are you sitting alone and sighing, do you want the old man to calculate a hexagram for you. ”

An old man came over with a signboard, looked at Li Yan with a smile, Li Yan didn't look at it, waved his hand, his eyes were still staring at the opposite Defu Building, in addition to Gu Shuo, Qian Shun, the second shopkeeper of Defu Building, also died, and was also killed, unlike Gu Shuo, his wife was also killed, the house was ransacked, and there were still words on the wall to repay debts.

Arresting Kuaifang quickly attributed the case to robbery and murder, but Li Yan thought it was not, this Qian Shun was also a member of the internal guard, he had followed him for several days, this person had been to the casino, but he didn't gamble much, and he didn't owe any money outside.

In Li Yan's eyes, it was just an excuse to rob and kill, and then check it, get a sum of money from the gambling house, and finally close the case hastily.

Before Liu Han disappeared, the task assigned to Li Yan was to check the hundred workshops and let him go to the west of Changchun Lake to investigate, during this time, he was in the lake until Gu Shuo's bloody case broke out, and he was shocked.

Without Liu Han's command, Li Yan was a little unable to grasp the reins, and he didn't know what to do next, whether to continue to find the Hundred Workshops or to track down Gu Shuo's case, which was obviously aimed at internal guards.

"This descendant, I see that your Yin Hall is shining, you should have a good fortune recently, let the old man calculate a hexagram for you, and see where this happy event comes from?"

Li Yan was a little impatient and was about to wave his hand away to drive him away, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, raised his head and looked at the old man carefully, the old man winked at him, these eyes were very familiar, the old man sighed, turned around and left, and said as he walked: "Fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, a hexagram is known, this guest officer, can be counted as a hexagram." ”

Speaking, the old man came out of the teahouse, stood on the side of the street, and after a while, walked to the other side of the street, Li Yan got up after he went out, followed from a distance, turned into a secluded alley, the old man was gone, he was surprised, suddenly there was a cool breeze in the back of his head, he instinctively dodged to the side, but his body was just stable, a hand had firmly grabbed his shoulder, and a huge internal breath broke into the body fiercely, and rushed into the dantian between breaths.

Li Yan's face turned pale, this internal breath was so strong, it was not something he could compete with at all, and a death thought came to his heart.

"Why did you betray me?"

A familiar and stern voice came from behind him, and Li Yan's heart suddenly relaxed, and then he became nervous again.

"My lord, the lowly job has not betrayed you, and the lowly job has been looking for you for the past few days!"

"Then why is there anyone watching where I live? Only you know this place!"

"I don't know, I've found out, my lord, I've been looking for you these days, investigating how Gu Shuo died! ”

After being silent for a while, the hand that grabbed him slowly let go, but Li Yan didn't dare to move at all.

"Turn around, slow down. ”

Li Yan turned around slowly and looked at Liu Han, Liu Han was still dressed as the old man who told fortunes, his expression was very serious, Li Yan was completely relaxed, and he didn't even dare to run a trace of internal breath, for fear of causing Liu Han's reaction.

"I've finally met you. Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Han asked sternly, "Where did those people who were watching outside my house come from?"

"I don't know, after I came back from Huxi, I heard that Gu Shuo was killed, I hurried to find the adult, but when I got to the adult's residence, I found that someone was watching, I didn't dare to go in, and I didn't dare to alarm them, my lord, where have you been there these days? What happened? Who killed Gu Shuo?"

Liu Han looked at him suspiciously, as if to confirm whether he was telling the truth, Li Yan was very nervous, and after half a sound, Liu Han's expression eased.

"Let's talk about your business first, how is the investigation in Huxi?"

Li Yan felt that the huge pressure enveloping him suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly relaxed, stabilized his mind before whispering: "It's inconvenient here, my subordinates have rented a new house outside, can you go to your subordinates and talk about it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Liu Han's gaze become stern, his expression was calm, and his heart was also very nervous, and after a while, Liu Han asked: "I have been to your house, and I am very surprised, you are not being monitored." ”

Li Yan nodded: "The subordinates also found out, and the subordinates estimated that there may be a problem with the Yangzhou internal guard and leaking the whereabouts of the adult." ”

Liu Han thought about it and nodded: "There is such a possibility, but it is extremely unlikely, I have only seen Gu Shuo alone in Yangzhou, except for you, there is no one else." ”

"Could it be that Gu Shuo leaked the news, otherwise, why would you want to kill him?" Li Yan also wondered.

"I was assassinated on the lake, and it was the internal guards who shot it," Liu Han said calmly, and Li Yan was surprised: "The internal guards !! them,... ，”

Liu Han nodded: "The internal guard who shot was restrained by me, and chased Duan Sanye along the confession, I went to Gu Mansion first, and then went to Duan's house, when I went, Gu Shuo was still alive, and there was something wrong with his concubine, I reminded him that he should have been killed after I left, when I rushed to Duan's house, Duan's family had been wiped out, but then, I met a strong enemy, chased me for dozens of miles, and I got away with it." ”

Li Yan was shocked, with the cultivation of Liu Han's top-grade grandmaster, he was actually chased and killed for dozens of miles, it was hard to imagine what kind of person this was?

After a while, Li Yan came back to his senses and looked up at Liu Han, Liu Han was staring at him, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and was about to speak, Liu Han had already shook his head: "Let's go to you first, this is not the place to talk." ”

Saying that, Liu Han threw away the fortune teller sticker in his hand, changed his clothes again, and became another person in the blink of an eye, Li Yan walked in front without saying a word, the two of them distanced themselves, and went out of the alley one after the other, Li Yan did not go directly home.

After walking around the alley, after walking for most of the hour, Li Yan walked into a secluded alley, there are many houses in this alley, Li Yan's newly rented house is at the end of the alley, only a few zhang away from the river meander, he pushed open the door, looked back, and did not see Liu Han's figure.

He didn't care, after entering the house, he checked it first, and then poked open the stove, and at this moment, Liu Han had already come in.

Li Yan scooped two scoops of water from the water tank and poured them into the pot, and added a handful of firewood to the stove, Liu Han casually lifted the teapot on the table, picked up the teacup and drank three cups in a row, put down the teapot, and then asked, "Tell me about your situation in the past few days." ”

Li Yan replied with a little contemplation: "According to the instructions of the adults, I went to Huxi, there are three big islands in Huxi, these three islands, I went up, I didn't find anything, the islands are all fishermen, there are small fields, but there are no manor-style buildings, this Huxi, close to the waterway, there are many boats passing by every day, and the subordinates think that they are not on these three islands." ”

"Is there a grain store restaurant on the island?" Liu Han interjected.

Li Yan nodded: "Xishan Island has, the other two islands are a little smaller, no, but there are sailors of the imperial court stationed on Xishan Island, so I ruled it out first." ”

Liu Han nodded hesitantly, and Li Yan continued: "There are still people living in the left, there are five islands, I went to two, there is no sign, my lord, I feel that the west of the lake is too close to the channel, and there are many boats passing by every day, if the lair of the hundred workshops is here, I am afraid it has been discovered a long time ago, is the direction of our exploration wrong, it should be in the east of the lake." ”

"There is such a possibility," Liu Han said in a deep voice, poured himself another glass of water, but did not drink it, held it in his hand, looked out the window, thought for a moment and said: "They attacked me, it means that we have a judgment that is right, their nest is in Yangzhou,"

said and smiled, in Li Yan's eyes, this smile was full of mockery, so he interjected: "What the adults said is that they should have made a mistake. Then he frowned again: "But my lord, my subordinates don't understand, why would Yi Bai Workshop make such a mistake? We didn't know that we were in Yangzhou, but now we are almost certainly in Yangzhou." ”

"That's the problem!" Liu Han nodded, but then shook his head and said: "But to say for sure, it's a bit premature, it can't be ruled out, they are deliberately like this, maybe, their nest is in Jiangnan, deliberately exposing their whereabouts here, let us stay in Yangzhou, I have a bad feeling, Jiangnan may have an accident!" 2k Reading Web
