Lu Ji stayed in Gu Qian's small courtyard like this.

Gu Qian knew that he didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, so he didn't care about him, just served him with good food and food, and didn't ask him what he was doing.

Fortunately, Lu Ji is not very defensive about him, and some things will be revealed to him to some extent, not to mention that the small courtyard is so small, and it is not easy to keep it secret.

On this day, two of Lu Ji's subordinates went out, and Lu Ji stayed in the room alone for a long time, and he didn't even eat dinner. After Gu Qian went home, he learned about the situation, and hurriedly asked Gu Xiaojiu to cook a bowl of noodles, and personally carried it to find Lu Ji.

"Is Senior Brother here?" he shouted, standing outside the door.

"Well, come in. Lu Ji said lightly.

Gu Qian pushed open the door and walked in with light steps, "I heard that Senior Brother didn't finish eating today, so I specially asked Xiao Jiu to make you a bowl of meat noodles, you can eat first." ”

Lu Ji waved his hand and motioned for him to put down the noodle bowl first.

"People are iron and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you're hungry and panicked, so senior brother should eat first and then be busy. ”

"Got it. Lu Ji glanced up at him, put down the pen in his hand, washed his hands, and walked to the side of the small table and sat down.

"Isn't just one bowl of noodles too thin?" Gu Qian said flatteringly, "I'll let Xiao Jiu cut two more cold dishes, right?"

"No, I'm not a picky eater. Lu Ji picked up the chopsticks and picked the noodles, and when the noodles were a little cold, he lowered his head and ate them in a big gulp.

The two of them said that they were familiar, and they were not familiar with each other, especially when there were some maps, secret letters and other things in Lu Ji's room, Gu Qian didn't dare to look around, and he didn't dare to inquire around, so he could only sit on the side with his hands in his hands and watch Lu Ji eat noodles quietly.

Lu Ji was born in the Hou Mansion, and the etiquette is excellent, even if he just eats a bowl of noodles, his posture is indescribably good-looking. Compared with the natives of the Jing Dynasty, Gu Qian felt that he was about to be compared to the mud.

"You didn't eat either?" Seeing that he had been staring at himself, Lu Ji finished eating his noodles and said slowly while wiping his hands.

"No, I've eaten out. Gu Qian sneered, "Since the senior brother has eaten well, then I will retire first." ”

"Wait a minute. Lu Ji waved his hand, motioned for him to put down the tray in his hand, and stepped forward, "I have something to tell you, let the next person put away the bowl." ”

"Hey. Gu Qian responded, and beckoned Gu Xiaojiu to take away the dishes and chopsticks, and then made a pot of hot tea, and then closed the door and waited for Lu Ji's next words.

"How is your relationship with Governor Xu and General Zheng recently?" Because of Xu Runlin and Zheng Zhen's meritorious efforts in quelling the rebellion, Emperor Jiahe not only gave Governor Xu a lot of rewards, but also reinstated Zheng Zhenguan and continued to serve as the general soldier of Datong.

"Humility and soft-spokenness, and the two adults are general friends. "People are big people sitting on one side, and his little imperial history is nothing.

Lu Ji nodded, and paced around the room twice with his hands behind his back, Gu Qian didn't know what his intentions were, so he could only hang his head and look at the light and shadow on the ground in a daze.

"Two of my men will bring someone in a moment. Lu Ji stopped pacing and said softly.

Gu Qian came back to his senses, raised his head and asked, "Who is it?"

"A person who needs to be handed over to ......" Lu Ji paused and said, "The person who handed it over to Governor Xu." ”

Gu Qian was a little confused, not understanding what he meant.

"Wait here with me. ”

"Good. ”

Before the curfew, two of Lu Ji's men returned, and they took advantage of the darkness of the night to drag back from outside the door a man with his head hanging down, covered by a black hooded cloak that dragged from head to toe, and could only see that he was not tall and could not see his face.

Entering the courtyard, the two brocade guards dragged the person into the wing, lifted the hood, and revealed a young man gagged with rags.

"What do you want to do?" Rag □□, he gasped and immediately glared at him viciously.

"What are you doing?" Lu Ji, who came in later, smiled, his eyes swept around the young man with interest, his slender fingers picked up the young man's chin, and said softly, "Tell me, who are you?"

"I, I'm just a trader, what are you doing with me?" said the young man with a bluff as he shook his face.

"The merchant dared to mix with the Tatars, and said, are you a spy sent by the Tatars into the pass?!" Lu Ji's eyes turned cold, and the fingers hooking his chin gradually became stronger, and the young man's neck was bruised.

"You slander!" said the young man, gritting his teeth, "I just happened to pass by there and ran into a few Tatars, and if you hadn't caught me, I would have run away." ”

"Really?" Lu Ji raised his eyebrows, puzzled, "But I have never seen a businessman as bold as you, and when I saw Jinyiwei, I was not afraid at all." ”

"What?" the young man's face changed, "Are you Jinyiwei?"

"Why, it's not like?" Lu Ji and the others were not wearing official uniforms, because their identities could not be determined by their appearance, but when Lu Ji pulled out a snowy embroidered spring knife, the young man's eyes were obviously dyed with fear, "You, don't come here......"

Seeing him suddenly change from a proud little to a weak with his head and chest shrunk, Gu Qian couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. This laugh was too abrupt, and several people in the room turned their heads to look at him in unison, the corners of Gu Qian's mouth twitched, and he took a step back with a smile.

Lu Ji glanced at Gu Qian, his face did not change, he was still holding the knife, pointing at the young man who was shrinking back, "Tell me where you came from." ”

"There's nothing to say, I'm just a merchant, my surname is Wang's name is Shishi, my family lives in Suozi Lane in the west of the city, and there is an old lady at home who needs to be supported. ”

"It's a good edit. Lu Ji nodded, with a wave of the embroidered spring knife, he picked up Wang Shishi's placket, under the open placket, it was white, with an obviously fat chest, Lu Ji picked the tip of the knife again, and cut Wang Shishi's sleeve, Wang Shishi's arms were very white, and there were no other traces on his hands except for the cocoon drawn out of the horse's reins.

"There are not many merchants who raise your skin, not to mention that a person who runs back to Datong from outside the Saiwai, just your fat and the silver money you carry, if it weren't for the close protection of those two Tatars, I'm afraid you would have been thrown into the grassland and fed to the wolves, right?"

"You, you're talking nonsense!" Wang Shishi was visibly panicked.

"Whether it's nonsense or not, I don't count if I say it, it's the truth that comes out of your mouth. Lu Ji put the knife into the sheath, gave the two subordinates a look, and immediately walked out of the wing room with Gu Qian.

"Senior brother, where did this person come from?" Back in Lu Ji's room, Gu Qian couldn't help but ask.

"This man I met by chance on the way back to Beijing from Saiwai, when he was drinking tea in the tea shed with two Tatars, from their demeanor, it did not look like they did not know each other, and from time to time in their conversation mentioned autumn, routes, etc., I was suspicious, and sent someone to follow, yesterday a subordinate sent a letter to me, suspecting that they were surveying the route, so I sent someone to arrest them. ”

"But why did you catch only one?"

"The two Tatars are dead. Lu Ji said lightly.

"Dead?" Gu Qian was dumbfounded, "Isn't that the evidence missing?"

"No, I already have a goal for the identity of this king stone, and now I am just waiting for a result. ”

"Oh," Gu Qian nodded, but then he thought of another question, "What can I do for you?" With Lu Ji's ability, he doesn't need help at all, right?

"This Wang Stone was only discovered by accident, and the things I've been busy with recently have nothing to do with him, and after the interrogation comes out, you hand over the person to Governor Xu. ”

"But I'm ......" Gu Qian hesitated, how could he think that Lu Ji was giving him credit!

"I have a new clue about what I've been investigating lately, and I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning. ”

"You're leaving?"

"Otherwise?" Lu Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Won't I be annoyed by staying here for two days?"

"How could it be!" Gu Qianhan said with a smile, "With Senior Brother here, I can't fly in this house, and it's very safe." ”

After speaking, Deng Shi felt that something was wrong, he looked up at Lu Ji, and saw Lu Qianhu nodding solemnly, "It turns out that this Qianhu still has the function of a town house." ”

Those who can enter the Jinyi Guard are not ordinary people, and before midnight, "Wang Shishi" was checked by Lu Ji's subordinates.

"What?" Gu Qian looked at the confession, his head buzzed, "This person turned out to be the son of Xiao Jing, the commander of the Datong Left Guard?"

"It turned out to be Xiao Yunteng, no wonder I think the name Wang Shishi is a little strange. Lu Ji said casually.

Senior brother, your focus is wrong, right? Gu Qian glanced at him and continued to look down, but this confession was so unexpected that even Gu Qian, who claimed to be well-informed, was scared.

"How dare he!How dare he!" Gu Qian looked at the confession and stomped his feet angrily, "It turns out that the matter of bringing the little prince into the customs before was their father and son!

Seeing his indignant appearance, Lu Ji pushed him a cup of cold tea to extinguish the fire.

"Senior brother, aren't you angry?" Gu Qian took the teacup and poured it down, "He also married a Tatar woman! This eats things inside and outside, Dajing Chao is the place where he was born and raised! Traitor, dog traitor!"

Lu Ji's ears moved, he could understand the traitor, what is a dog traitor? But looking at Gu Yushi's face turned red with anger, Lu Qianhu endured it and didn't ask.

"Senior brother?" Seeing that Lu Ji was silent, Gu Qian was puzzled.

"I've seen a lot. ”

Just a faint sentence shows how much resentment and bitterness.

Gu Qian was dumbfounded, looking at Lu Ji's indifferent expression, and finally let out a long sigh.

After dawn, Lu Ji set off with two subordinates, Gu Qian didn't know what he was busy with, since he could even give people the credit for finding out Xiao Yunteng and Xiao Jing, it can be seen that his task must be much more arduous than this.

"My lord, let's go?" Gu Tai and Gu Xiaojiu covered Xiao Yunteng with the hood and cloak they had worn before, tied a rope to his hand, and led him out like a dog.

After a night of torture by Jinyiwei, Xiao Yunteng was already depressed, his eyes were dull, and he was led to the governor's yamen by them like a walking corpse. 166 Reading Network
