Qin Xiao's voice suddenly sounded in the silent courtyard, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and when they saw that it was Qin Xiao who spoke, many of them showed surprise on their faces.

Han Duwei glanced at everyone, but no one dared to make eye contact with Han Duwei.

He didn't say much, he walked straight to the outside of the courtyard, passed by Qin Xiao's side, and didn't look at it, but Qin Xiao understood that since Han Duwei had no objection, he agreed to go with him, and immediately followed.

Han Duwei turned over and got on his horse, then turned his head to look at Qin Xiao, and said lightly: "Keep up!" With a flick of the horse's reins, the horse galloped out.

Qin Xiao immediately followed behind, but after all, he couldn't outrun the horse, and chased out of the street, only to see Han Duwei waiting in front of him on horseback, and ran over with a faster pace.

"It's not bad for physical strength." Han Duwei rode on his horse, glanced at Qin Xiao condescendingly, and said lightly: "But this brain is very confused, do you know that there are so many people in the yamen, why don't you dare to go to Zhenhou Mansion with me?" ”

Qin Xiao said: "Because the power of the Zhenhou Mansion is too great, they are afraid that they will offend the Zhenhou Mansion and will not be able to survive in Turtle City in the future." ”

Han Duwei snorted coldly and said, "You're not afraid? ”

"I'm afraid!" Qin Xiao nodded: "I'm also afraid." ”

"If you're afraid, why do you dare to come with me?" Han Duwei stared straight into Qin Xiao's eyes.

Qin Xiao also looked at Han Duwei's eyes, and said very seriously: "My lord, my world is in Turtle City, in this world, you and Meng Zhutou are the most important people to me. If you are in trouble, I can fight for you. ”

Han Duwei stared at Qin Xiao, and finally said, "Child's words." He took out a thing from his arms and handed it to Qin Xiao, in the dimness, Qin Xiao didn't see what it was clearly for a while, Han Duwei had already said: "You put this thing away, don't be seen." ”

Qin Xiao was a little strange, but he still took it with both hands, and only then did he realize that this thing turned out to be a jade pendant.

The jade pendant has a unique shape, the front is carved with a tiger's head, the fangs are like a knife, the tiger is vigorous, he turned over, but the back is engraved with a "sheng" word.

"Go to Zhenhou Mansion tonight, no matter what happens, don't speak, let alone act rashly." Han Duwei stared at Qin Xiao's eyes and said very seriously: "If I have any accident in the Hou Mansion tonight, you will take this jade pendant, go to Jiebei Mansion to find a person named Su Changyu, and give him this jade pendant." ”

"Su Changyu?"

"Don't worry, as long as you go to Jiebei Mansion and inquire about this person, it will be easy to find." Han Duwei said: "After seeing him, give him this jade pendant and tell him that the overall situation is important, don't be rash, and don't avenge me." After a pause, he continued: "You talk to him by the way, Lao Han asked him to find you an errand." ”

Qin Xiao was a little dazed, not knowing where Su Changyu was sacred.

However, he understood that when Han Duwei went to the Zhenhou Mansion tonight, he had already made the worst plan.

"My lord, it's going to be fine tonight." Qin Xiao hurriedly said, "And I haven't seen that Su ..... Su Changyu, looking for him with a jade pendant, will he suspect that I am a liar? ”

Han Duwei shook his head and said, "No, when he sees Yu Pei, he will know that you are my person." Without further words, the probe pulled Qin Xiao onto the horse's back, shook the horse's reins, and went straight to the Zhenhou Mansion.

Qin Xiao took the jade pendant into his arms, thinking that although the Zhen Hou Mansion was domineering, Han Duwei was an official of the Du Wei Mansion after all, and he was a member of the imperial court, and the Zhen Hou Mansion might not dare to attack Han Duwei.

However, where is Su Changyu sacred, Qin Xiao is so strange in his heart.

The Zhenhou Mansion is located in the very center of the Turtle City, and the tributary that branches out from the Changling Mountains passes through the Turtle City, and it also passes through the Zhen Hou Mansion, so part of the river becomes the Zhaizhong River, and it is precisely because of this when the Zhen family chose to build the mansion.

The existence of the Marquis Mansion in Turtle City is like the existence of the Imperial City in Kyoto, in fact, the old Marquis in the Hou Mansion is indeed the emperor of Zhen County.

There is an empty street around Zhenhou Mansion, this only belongs to Zhen Hou Mansion, people in the city will never dare to pass by on the streets around Zhen Hou Mansion, the sky has already darkened, the wide road in front of the Hou Mansion is deserted, and there is no figure to see.

Han Duwei rode directly to the front of the Hou Mansion, Qin Xiao had already seen lanterns hanging on the two large stone pillars in front of the main gate of the Hou Mansion, shining on the gray-brown thick gate, and on the side of the two stone lions with teeth and claws in front of the door, there were two knife hands in cyan shirts.

In front of the door of the Hou Mansion of Han Duwei, four swordsmen immediately held down the handle of the knife, and one of them had already said in a deep voice: "What a bold man, he dares to trespass into the Hou Mansion!" ”

In the eyes of the guards of the Hou Mansion, as long as they enter the avenue in front of the Hou Mansion, it is equivalent to provoking the Hou Mansion.

Han Duwei and Qin Xiao got off their horses, took two steps forward, seemed to think of something, threw the horse whip to Qin Xiao to catch it, and then stepped forward and said: "Han Yunong of the Duwei Mansion, I want to see the old marquis, and please pass it on my behalf!" ”

The green-shirted swordsmen looked at each other, and one of them went over and patted the door, "crunch", but opened a small door, and poked his head out inside, and the green-shirted swordsman said two words, his head retracted, and the small door was closed, and the green-shirted swordsman turned around and said, "Wait!" The tone was cold.

didn't wait too long, then saw the small door open again, a man in a black shirt walked out of the door, Qin Xiao saw this person, his brows were slightly tight, and his eyes fell on the right hand of the man, the right hand of the man in black was wearing a black glove, under the light, there was a faint black light, showing that the glove was by no means an ordinary thing.

Houmen is as deep as the sea, Qin Xiao can't know a few people from Zhenhou Mansion, but he knows this person in front of him, and he is privately called a ghost by the people of Turtle City, and his nickname is also called Ghost Hand Three.

"Follow me." Ghost Hand Three said coldly, didn't talk nonsense, turned around and returned to the mansion.

Han Yunong whispered to Qin Xiao: "Don't speak. "On the stone steps, Qin Xiao followed closely behind him, and followed the ghost hand three into the mansion together.

The two entered the house, followed the ghost hand behind the three, through the courtyard, where they saw, carved beams and painted buildings, antique, this huge mansion is like a labyrinth, there is a courtyard in the courtyard, there is a hall behind the hall, and they are used to seeing most of the houses built of rammed earth in the city, Qin Xiao who entered the castle was eye-opening, and only felt that the inside and outside of this high wall were completely two worlds.

Passing through an arch, following a bluestone path to a courtyard, the courtyard gate was open, Qin Xiao saw a plaque hanging at the head of the courtyard gate, with the words "Linghexuan" written on the left and right of the courtyard gate, and there was a knife hand guard on the left and right of the courtyard gate, and followed the ghost hand three into the courtyard, and heard a voice exclaiming: "Big ..... My lord! ”

Han Yunong and Qin Xiao both followed the prestige, only to see the spacious courtyard, at this moment there were seven or eight Tsing Yi knife hands, several of them drew knives in their hands, and a big man in the middle was tied up with five flowers, Qin Xiao recognized at a glance that it was Meng Zimo, the head of Ma Kuai.

When the swordsmen saw Han Yunong appear, they seemed to be afraid that Han Yunong would come forward to rob someone, and immediately two people stepped forward to clasp Meng Zimo's arm that was tied behind his back, and wanted to press him down and kneel, but Meng Zimo roared, broke free, turned around and glared angrily, but it scared the two people back.

Seeing that Meng Zimo was tied up with five flowers, Qin Xiao was a little surprised, and Han Yunong also frowned, but he was still extremely calm, did not speak, and went straight forward and entered the house.

The inside of the house is very spacious and elegant, the moment Qin Xiao entered the house, there was a peculiar fragrance coming to his face, this fragrance he had never smelled before, for him who had an unusually sensitive sense of smell, this fragrance was also immediately remembered in his olfactory warehouse.

Qin Xiao closed his eyes slightly, straightened his nose and sniffed slightly, but quickly followed Han Yunong to take a few steps forward.

On a table in the hall, there was a case full of fruits, Qin Xiao didn't look at the others, just looked at the fruits, and knew that these fruits were already worth a lot of money, at least in the shop in Turtle City, they couldn't buy it.

On the chair next to the desk, a young man dressed in purple, twenty-four or five years old, tilted his head, raised his arm, twisted a grape with two fingers and put it into his mouth, then turned his face and spit the grape skin on the plate next to him.

"Young boy!" Han Yunong took a step forward and arched his hand.

The young man raised his head and said coldly, "What are you doing here?" ”

Qin Xiao recognized this person as Zhen Yujiang, the second son of Changxin Hou, compared to Changxin Hou's deep and simple residence, this young son was known to everyone in Turtle City.

Zhen Yujiang has a flamboyant temperament, in the eyes of the Zhen family, Turtle City is their land, and the people who live in Turtle City are the people of the Zhen family, so Zhen Yujiang will ride a tall horse every once in a while, under the protection of a group of guards, through the long street, enjoying the awe-inspiring gaze of people on both sides.

There are very few people who have seen Changxinhou, but there are not many people in Turtle City who don't know Zhen Yujiang.

Two steps away from Zhen Yujiang was a middle-aged man in a blue robe, with a slender figure, a wisp of green beard under his chin, one hand behind his back, but a pair of eyes were looking at Han Yunong, with a shallow smile on his lips.

Han Yunong said: "I heard that Meng Zhutou kicked a dog in the Hou Mansion to death last night, so he came to apologize at noon today, but he hasn't been seen back yet, Han is his boss, come and ask what the situation is." ”

"You don't have to say more." Zhen Yujiang sneered: "Even if you come to the door, you won't be able to save him, and Lao Tzu will kill him today." ”

Han Yunong frowned and said, "Although Meng Zhutou is reckless, kicking a dog to death is not a crime, right?" ”

"Who told you it was because of a dog?" Zhen Yujiang jumped down from the chair, stared at Han Yunong's eyes and said, "He stole the imperial treasure, he was bold, he had to die." ”

"Imperial Treasure?" Han Yunong changed color slightly.

The middle-aged man in the blue shirt walked over to Han Yunong with his hands behind his back at this time, and said with a smile: "Mencius Mo came to the door to apologize, and the young man thought that he was sincerely apologizing, so he asked him to come to this Linghe Xuan to wait." The young boy had something to do at the time, so he didn't see him immediately, so he let him drink tea here alone, and then took the time to come over and comfort a few words, and wanted him to go back, but suddenly found that the imperial Buddha statue placed in Linghexuan was missing. ”

"The Imperial Buddha Statue?" Han Yunong frowned and said, "Mr. Lang, are you saying that Mencius stole the Imperial Buddha statue?" ”

Mr. Lang, a middle-aged man in a blue shirt, nodded and said, "Not bad." The Buddha statue was given by the saint, and it was placed in this Linghe Xuan, and when Mencius came in, the Buddha statue was still there, but when he was about to leave, the Buddha statue was gone. He raised his hand and pointed to a Nanmu antique shelf in the corner: "Go and see for yourself, the Buddha statue was originally placed in the shell box." ”
