"I have always suspected that the person who assassinated me that night was not from the Li family, if it was someone from the Li family, I probably wouldn't be able to come back that night!" Yu Yu felt a sense of powerlessness when he thought of Li Zhuo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, just a cultivator in the Li family can kill you," Xiao Baiyu nodded.

"So I think the assassination has something to do with me killing the bandits. But as I told you before, there are a lot of ministers who are in contact with the bandits now, and I don't know who they are, so I still can't lock the target," Yu Yu said.

"I've always wanted to ask you a question, why did you know that those bandits had dealings with the ministers of the court?" Xiao Baiyu looked at Yu Yu very puzzled and asked.

"Little Baiyu, have you forgotten what I used to do? I killed bandits! In the past, every time I went out, I had a goal, and this goal either caused public anger and provoked a big lawsuit, such as robbing someone who should not have been robbed, or the crime I committed was known by the above, and the officials below couldn't cover it;

Either this bandit has no background, he is a pure bandit, a clean bandit, a thief without a trace of impurities, that is, a bandit who does not interact with the government, such a bandit is the key target of strangulation;

Or they think they are very powerful, pretend to be high, ignore those magistrates, and they will also be beaten. In a word, bandits who have no background must be beaten, bandits who do not go along with the magistrates must be beaten, and disobedient bandits must be beaten. But bandits like this didn't exist for long, they were poor, so I was also poor at that time.

After a long time, I have experience, all the bandits who can last more than ten years have an official background, and the things they loot are divided equally with the officials, and some officials even put their own property with the bandits, because the imperial court is very strict about the property of the officials' 'private' people."

The little white fish nodded, "I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

"yes, it's dark, right?" Yu Yu smiled, "I grew up in this environment." Yu Yu tapped lightly on the table, "After that night, I knew that I might have offended the important ministers of the court." If that was the case, their actions that night were either to warn me or to really want my life. Either way, I can't afford to be indifferent. That's why I've picked three bandits with very large strength!"

"Do you think that at least one of those bandits will have something to do with the person who killed you?" Xiao Baiyu seemed to understand what Yu Yu meant.

Yu Yu nodded, "That's what it means." Sure enough, I was just out of town when I was ambushed!"

"Ambush?" Xiao Baiyu frowned, "I haven't heard you mention it, but you have three thousand people, and you are still the regular army of Yan State, who dares to touch you?"

A small group of martial artists, with a very high realm, and martial saints, I guess their purpose may be to make me retreat. What they didn't expect was that I had already prepared, and as soon as these people appeared, my strong crossbowmen surrounded them, and they didn't run away!"

"You can really calculate!" the little white fish nodded and said.

"When I got to the bandits, I destroyed them and went to their lair overnight. Let me discover a big secret!" Yu Yu's face was a righteous one.

"What?" asked the little white fish.

"In the 'melee' battle, there were a few people I found that the martial arts realm was too high, and killed many of my brothers, not like water bandits, but they were surrounded by me and couldn't escape, and they all committed suicide in the end, just like the people who assassinated me that day, they all turned into a pool of blood. Yu Yu said.

The little white fish listened quietly, "Finally, what else did you find?"

"I found this?" Yu Yu took out a very small thing from his arms, a crystal clear, rectangular white 'jade', like a seal. The little white fish took it and took a look, and the 'color' of his face immediately changed, and a few words were clearly engraved on it: Li Hanyin, the king of loyalty!

This is a 'private' seal!

"Is this the seal letter of the second prince?" said the little white fish.

"Yes, I finally found a lot of evidence of the second prince and their dealings in the water bandit's lair! I guess it may also be the leader of the water bandit who was worried that the second prince would unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future, so he deliberately left some evidence, but he never expected that someone could attack his lair!" Yu Yu said.

"In this way, the person who attacked that night should have been instructed by the second prince!" said the little white fish.

Yu Yu nodded: "Among these evidences, I not only found the second prince, but also found a person named Shao Wu." I've seen this person, a martial saint, and he is often with the second prince. In addition, I asked several leaders of the bandits, and they only said that some martial arts masters have come to the bandits' lair recently, and they seem to be supervising their every move. Moreover, they have been busy preparing to transfer the gold and silver in the treasury recently, so I didn't expect to go!"

Xiao Baiyu frowned, "Can you believe the words of those people, besides, how can they say it?"

"My method is very simple, just tie up the old and young in his family and kneel in front of him, kill me if you don't say anything, and kill him in front of him. And I also told them that they were not afraid that he would lie, and if I later proved that he was lying, his family would flee to the ends of the earth, and I would kill them all, leaving no one behind! So they didn't dare to lie, and they didn't dare not tell it!" Yu Yu said with a smile.

"Your hands are really black!" said the little white fish coldly.

"No way, this world is so dark, if I want to live, I have to do this!" Yu Yu didn't mind, and smiled indifferently.

"That Shao Wu, who is it, have you found out?" asked Xiao Baiyu.

"Not yet, but he has been following the second prince, thinking that he is a dead soldier who serves the second prince!"

"If that's the case, then it's definitely the second prince," Xiao Baiyu handed the seal to Yu Yu, thought for a while, and said, "You saved his life, and he still treated you like this, this person, can't stay." If it's inconvenient for you to make a move, I'll come!"

Yu Yu shook his head, "No need for the time being, I haven't figured out how to deal with him yet, after all, he is the emperor's son." You don't know, half of my 20 million taels of silver came from the water bandits, and the emperor just said that the 20 million taels of silver will be disposed of by me, and there is no need to 'hand' over to the treasury!"

"So, does the emperor also know who assassinated you?" Xiao Baiyu obviously understood what the emperor meant.

"I guess so. If I don't give face to that idiot, I can't help but give face to the emperor. This person, I don't want to touch him for the time being!But I may move him at any time! It's up to him!" Yu Yu's eyes 'revealed' a fierce light, and Xiao Baiyu nodded, "I still say that, if it's inconvenient for you to make a move, I'll come, I'm not a Hou Ye!"

In a few days, the 25th year of Yanguo Xuanwei will come to the final end. A heavy snowfall seems to be a festive forecast before the arrival of the festival. The sky is extraordinarily blue, the air is extraordinarily fresh, and on the second day of living in the Hou Ye's Mansion, Doudou began to decorate, and now there are a lot of maids, although she is not very adaptable, but she is really quick to do things.

The gifts given by the Queen Mother before and the ministers and the emperor a few days ago were sorted out, and Doudou asked people to clean up a yard and pile up these things, with a lot of good fabrics, which made Doudou happy!

In fact, the New Year's goods have been almost prepared, but now there are many more people in the house all of a sudden, and Doudou has no choice but to let people go to the street to buy New Year's goods, and they are very busy. When the red lanterns hung high above each of the 'gates', Yu Yu realized that he had been in the Holy City for more than half a year.

Rhubarb only appeared in the past few days, and after hearing about Yu Yu's attack, he immediately wanted to go to the second prince to play for his life, but was stopped by Yu Yu. The officials are also on vacation, so they are noisy to investigate Yu Yu's affairs, and they have no choice but to wait for the next year.

Although the weather was nice and the sky was clear, it was very cold, so cold that people didn't want to go out and didn't want to do anything. The dry cold is the most uncomfortable, Yu Yu naturally doesn't care, but Doudou can't accept it, wearing bloated cotton clothes and cotton 'pants', his little face is red and cold, but his face is happy.

At this time of the year, Yu Yu will do something different from others, that is, to paste couplets! There is no such custom in Yanguo! Yu Yu said that this is called creativity, and it is called the New Year when she pastes couplets! Therefore, she has always felt that her family's New Year is different from other people's years! Festive!

Watching Yu Yu write those couplets on the red paper he bought, Xiao Baiyu didn't understand what this was about. Yu Yu told him that this is called a 'Spring Festival' couplet, which is not an elegant thing for ordinary literati, it represents festivity, and of course it is more about missing! The little white fish didn't understand what he was missing, but he was amazed by Yu Yu's beautiful grass!

There are more than 100 houses, there are too many 'doors', and only Yu Yu is the only one who works, so he can only paste some key occasions, and it is impossible to paste them on every 'door'. One morning, after writing dozens of couplets, Yu Yu went to the Praetorian Guard camp satisfied! Tomorrow is the New Year, I want to give everyone red envelopes, and at the same time, the end of the year is also the busiest time for the Praetorian Guards, so we can't slack off at all! Tomorrow is the New Year's Day, and Yu Yu doesn't dare to be careless!
