Hu Yue thief, there are cruel and abusing people in the Quartet, organizing crimes, clear division of labor, breaking in, burning, killing and looting, doing everything, cruel to the extreme, and then hiding in the Nanshan area of Yancheng, disappearing. ’

……

Jinling, Ridge Purlin, Hu Yue...... It is a wild place in the border city of Yancheng, with few footprints and fewer people.

In addition to the shock, You Cheng was even more confused, when did Yancheng become so boring? He felt a little heavy, put down the book in his hand, and looked up at the master who was standing by the window, his mouth was very bitter. A moment ago, he replied with a full sense of confidence that there were no strong bandits in Yancheng, but now......

"This is part of the record of the criminal case in Yancheng, which happened in the past ten years, and this year, it still exists." A slow and low voice sounded, You Cheng raised his head, his eyes were opposite to the bewildering peach blossom eyes, making him unconsciously fall into it, and suddenly, the voice of the Lord sounded in his ears again, but the tone of the voice changed suddenly, full of doubts and said: "You Cheng, do you think there are really so many bandits in Yancheng?" ”

You Cheng's heart jumped, his cold hair stood up suddenly, and a layer of cold sweat soaked out of his back, could it be that the lord meant that the Yancheng bandits were just a front, and the real murderer was still at large and acting rampantly?

He pursed his lips with difficulty and hesitated, "Could it be ......?"

"I don't know yet, so it's up to you to find out."

The words were interrupted, and You Cheng also retracted his thoughts. It's just that if it really has something to do with them, then the You family...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore and cut off his thoughts.

Seeing that the task was clear, You Cheng knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Yes!" Take over the task with the most standard organizational rules.

"Well, now you go to Ling Yu, he will talk to you clearly."

"Yes!" You Cheng stood up, clenched his fists and took a few steps back before turning around and walking quickly, pushing the door and going out.

As soon as the door was closed, a man in black walked out from behind the screen of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the room, he watched the master leisurely pick up the unfinished book, and got on the couch again, and said with some hesitation: "Master, can he?" ”

"Oh? Why not, do you think? The peach blossom eyes were provoked, the man put down the book in his hand, looked at the man in black not far away, and asked curiously.

"No...... Not impossible! The man in black immediately shook his head in denial, paused for a moment, and said cautiously: "It's just that You Cheng has just joined the organization for four years, and his heart is not strong, if we tell him your identity now, wouldn't it be too ...... Imprudent! ”

"Four years!" The man sighed, with a hint of sadness in his tone, and continued: "Lingyun, use people for a while, look at people for a lifetime, and follow me for so long, don't you understand?" After saying that, he laughed twice, shook his head, picked up the book on the table again, and sank into it.

Ling Yun didn't speak again, listening to his master's laughter, his heart was full of bitterness. Oh, yes! Employing people for a while, looking at people for a lifetime, people's hearts are unpredictable and changing rapidly!

Silently disappearing behind the screen, the room returned to its previous tranquility, only the sound of a book turning pages from time to time.

Walking out of the master's room, You Cheng was wondering about Ling Yu's location, and not far away, a young woman in a tender yellow dress came over, she walked up to You Cheng, blessed her body slightly, and said respectfully: "You Gongzi, Lord Ling Yu has been waiting for a long time, please come with Ning Xiang." ”

Without hesitation, You Cheng immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

The structure of the villa is complex, and it is common for ordinary people to walk in it and get lost. You Cheng listened to Ning Xiang's introduction in front of him, and was secretly frightened in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but guess the identity of the master.

"You Gongzi, it's here. Lord Ling Yu is inside, go in by yourself!" Ning Xiang took You Cheng to stop outside the door of a room, turned around and explained.

You Cheng withdrew his lingering gaze, came back to his senses, and thanked the woman politely.

"You Gongzi doesn't have to be like this, at this time, Ning Xiang's duty." After speaking, the woman smiled slightly, neither kissed nor separated, blessed herself again, then turned around and left, and soon, disappeared from You Cheng's sight.

You Cheng turned to the door, straightened his clothes, pushed the door and stepped in.

Inside the house, the light was dim and a little cool, You Cheng tightened his clothes and walked inside.

The interior of the room is simple and uncomplicated, facing the center of the door, there is a beautiful table made of striped ebony, on which a few books and writing supplies are neatly placed.

Bypassing the table, You Cheng walked back, lifted the heavy curtain on the inside, and the strong smell of books rushed towards him, making his heart flutter, and when he looked at it, he found that there was a hole in it.

Hundreds of tall bookcases are neatly placed in the middle, all full of books, crowded and densely packed, so that the number of people is countless.

"You Cheng, you're here." Noticing the movement at the door, Ling Yu popped up from behind a bookshelf and smiled at him.

"Hmm!" You Cheng also smiled. In the organization, the one who has the best relationship with him is Ling Yu!

"Take a look for yourself first, wait for me later." After speaking, Ling Yu disappeared into the bookshelf again, and there was no movement.

You Cheng didn't care, he walked to a bookshelf at random and looked for a book to read.

Time passed slowly, and I don't know how long it took. There was a sudden weight on his shoulders, and this strange feeling pulled You Cheng out of the book, he slowly closed the book in his hand, and smiled at the person behind him: "You're done!" ”

"Not busy, just looking for a few books." As he spoke, Ling Yu handed the book in his hand to You Cheng and motioned for him to take it.

"Show me?" You Cheng asked.

"Well, ask me after reading it."

You Cheng took the book, didn't say much, found a bookcase in the bookshelf, sat down, and then read it carefully. Seeing him like this, Ling Yu himself also found a book and sat down quietly, reading quietly.

When You Cheng closed the last page of the last book, the room was already lit with a light candle. Before you know it, it's nightfall.

He shook his neck and looked at Ling Yu on the side.

At this moment, Ling Yu also raised his head from the book and looked at him.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Ling Yu broke the silence and spoke.

After thinking about it, You Cheng asked with some confusion: "Why do you want me to watch this?" In about two hours, he finished reading the three books that Ling Yu handed him, which were full of major events related to the capital, the royal family, and some high-ranking officials. He vaguely sensed something, but he was not sure, and he did not dare to speculate.

Ling Yu's expression became serious, he looked at You Cheng and said word by word: "The master's surname is Wen, his name is Chi, and his name is Wen Chi." ”
