Chen He stomped his feet, gritted his teeth, and walked straight to the pavilion.

Li Yanyu glanced at Chen He, stood up excitedly, and shouted, "Second brother is here!" It's the road, come and try this thing, you're definitely not ......."

Halfway through the words, when he saw Chen He's bitter face, he realized that it was not good, and his heart tightened, and he couldn't be happy anymore.

"Official, please, borrow a step, speak." Chen He's eyes fluttered, he didn't dare to look directly at Li Yan and the others, and bowed his head and said.

Li Yan slowly walked down the steps and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

Chen He nodded, and said timidly: "I encountered an ambush on the road, Erniang, Erniang ......"

Erniang is Xiaomo, although Chen He sometimes calls Li Yan the third brother, but he always maintains the title of master and servant for Li Bei'er and Xiaomo, Li Bei'er is the master's mother, and Xiaomo is naturally called Erniang.

"Mob? What's wrong with her? Li Yan said hurriedly.

……

After listening to Chen He's story, Li Yan was as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts, and he was stupid in place.

This is the first time he has lost a loved one, it is an unbelievable and unacceptable feeling, his mind is instantly filled with Xiaomo's figure, recalling her smile, every move, word and deed, as if he has come all over again, and he is deeply impressed by the cracks of his bones.

From the first misunderstanding with this girl to the last pouring cold water on each other outside the thatched house, all the past is vivid.

A tear swirled in Li Yan's eyes, he tried to hold back his sadness, and asked in disbelief, "Really?" ”

Li Bei'er and Yan Jiuniang also noticed something strange and asked Geng Dalang, who was a little hesitant and didn't know whether he should talk too much, but when he saw Yan Jiuniang's angry eyes, he only said slightly: "The road is ambushed." ”

"Who, who's in trouble?"

Li Bei'er knew Li Yan the best, and immediately realized that someone had an accident, and the person who had the accident was either Xiaomo or Daylily, and only these two people could make Li Yan so sad, even Wu Yueniang would not show such an appearance.

"Mob!" Li Yan gritted his teeth and said.

Syllable......

Li Bei'er's hand holding the wine glass hung down weakly, and her heart was like a porcelain piece all over the ground, broken into countless pieces, each of which was telling her sadness.

The solemn atmosphere instantly filled the small courtyard, even Yan Jiuniang, who only had a relationship with Xiaomo, couldn't help but burst into tears, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Did Tan Yuanmeng do it?" ”

Chen He shook his head and said that he didn't know, when the Weishe ran to the mountain, those people had already fled, and there was no clue left, and even the footprints were wiped away, leaving only countless horseshoe pits.

The two daughters comforted Li Yan on the left and on the right, of course, Li Bei'er's mood was not much better than Li Yan's, but in her bones, she always respected her husband, even if she was uncomfortable, she had to take care of Li Yan's feelings first.

After a long time, Li Yan regained some consciousness and muttered: "This girl is really pitiful, she has gone through so many twists and turns in her life, and she didn't even leave a corpse when she died, bottle, do you think we shouldn't come to Kyoto?" ”

"If I hadn't come to Kyoto, she wouldn't have died. If I hadn't disliked her for walking slowly, and taking her with us, she wouldn't have died. If I had been sitting in the car, I might have been able to find the problem in time, and I might have escaped with her, but it's all my fault, it's all my fault! ”

Li Bei'er shook her head again and again, choked up and couldn't speak, threw herself on the stone table, hid her face and wept.

"Crying is not a solution, people can't be resurrected after death, since something has happened, the living person should seek justice for her, kill people to pay for their lives, and catching the murderer is the most important thing at the moment." Yan Jiuniang said calmly.

After Yan Jiuniang's reminder, Li Yan instantly found the catharsis point of his emotions, and asked loudly, "Where is the Tanyuan League?" Take me there. ”

Wang Dalang smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, the Tanyuan League is a killer organization, and what they do is illegal, how can they have a fixed stronghold." ”

"There's got to be a way to find them, right? Otherwise, how do you post a bounty? Li Yan asked.

Wang Dalang shook his head and said: "I can't find it, they may be beggars on the street, maybe they are traders on the side of the road, in short, the people of the Tanyuan League are everywhere." If you want to post a bounty, simply place three lanterns in the Bianhe River and someone will contact you. ”

"Release, release immediately, let them contact me, kill one by one!" Li Yan said angrily.

Yan Jiuniang scolded: "Nonsense, this is Kyoto, not Yanggu County, and it is illegal to kill people." Even if you know that they are killers, if they don't admit to death, you won't have any evidence to prove it to the government, and you will be convicted of murder. ”

"What my aunt said makes sense, it is precisely because of this that the Tanyuan League will become the number one killer organization in the Great Song Dynasty." Wang Dalang persuaded.

Chen He interjected: "If you sneak into the Tanyuan Alliance, will you be able to blend into their lair?" ”

This remark attracted Yan Jiuniang's angry eyes, and secretly said that this person is really brainless, and he will pay attention to it, and with Li Yan's impulsive character, he will definitely take risks.

Sure enough, Li Yan's eyes showed an inquiring look.

Wang Dalang has followed the brothers and sisters of the Yan family for many years, and he knows much more about Yan Jiuniang than others, and as a servant, he pays attention to the emotional changes of his master all the time.

This doesn't have to be done deliberately, it's already a habit.

"No, because they don't talk about feelings, they're just tools for killing. Receiving tasks is also word of mouth. For example, if I want to get a bonus now, I just need to walk around the streets in rags, and someone will take the initiative to talk to me. Wang Dalang lied.

After hearing this, Li Yan became annoyed again, if it was really as Wang Dalang said, he really couldn't find the stronghold of the Tanyuan League.

Unless one person is caught, he will be tortured to extract a confession, but if he does so, he will also commit a crime.

It's flawless......

At this moment, someone came to report: The chief housekeeper of the Su family asked to see him.

Yan Jiuniang did not answer, but said to Li Yan: "The Su family is the owner of the Wei Society, I think it is because the escort mission failed, and the accusation is coming." If according to the rules, the two hundred elite guards who carried out the mission were all executed, which would make the Su family suffer a lot of damage, and they would have to give twenty times the compensation, which was also astronomical. ”

Li Yan recalled the conversation between Chai Fu and others in Qinglou that day, and knew that the Yan family and the Su family were among the top two in the list of prosperous businessmen, so he asked: "Can't it, the Su family has this bit of financial resources?" ”

"The Su family's financial resources are naturally very strong, but, that's twenty times, the price of hiring is one thousand taels per guard, two hundred is two hundred taels, if the compensation is twenty times...... That's four million taels. ”

When they heard four million taels, Li Yan and the others were shocked.

However, Yan Jiuniang continued: "Four million taels of Su family have also come out, but the two hundred guards are something they can't afford to lose, and the Wei Society only has more than four hundred guards in total, and each one of them needs several years to cultivate, and the energy and material resources consumed are unimaginable. ”

Li Yan heard the meaning of Yan Jiuniang's words, obviously he couldn't bear it, and wanted to intercede for the Su family, and said in a deep voice: "What does Meng'er mean?" ”

"Li Lang, why don't you take this opportunity to sell the Su family a favor, after all, killing those two hundred guards doesn't mean anything to us, if you can make friends with the Su family's forces, it will definitely help you in the officialdom in the future, do you remember what grandpa said about the Su family?"
