Early in the morning, Ye Chen led everyone to practice skills in the courtyard, and the little potatoes also stood at the back of the queue and painted a scoop according to the gourd.

Just as everyone was on the rise, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard gate, and in an instant, Ye Chen and the others were alert, because except for a few important people here, no one else knew where this place was. Ye Chen glanced at everyone, and everyone picked up the guys one after another to prepare for the battle. Zou Hu opened the door with his left hand and held the knife behind his back with his right hand, and just when everyone was nervous, the man outside spoke: "It's me!" King Four! ”

Everyone had a false alarm, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, Ye Chen did not relax because of this, because this knock on the door alerted him, he had to set up a secret whistle!

After Wang Si walked in, he hugged his fists and saluted everyone one by one, and then turned to Ye Chen and said, "Boss, someone threw a letter into Fenghua Building last night. After speaking, he took out a yellow envelope from his arms and handed it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen frowned and said, "Qin Xiaoqin gave it to you?" ”

Wang Sizheng said: "The strange thing is here, all the secret letters given to me by Lord Qin have special wax marks on them, but there are no ones on this one." ”

Ye Chen opened the envelope and read it carefully, and after a while, he looked up and asked, "Have you asked Qin Xiaoqin to verify the contents of this letter?" ”

Wang Si said with a bitter face: "I gave it to me last night, but I haven't had time to find Lord Qin yet." ”

Ye Chen said: "I know, but this letter says that the masked ghosts of the Black Market Hades are coming to trouble me." ”

Chen Bing leaned over and said curiously, "Who is looking for you?" Male or female? ”

Ye Chen handed him the letter and said with a wry smile: "Do you see if this is a man or a woman?!" ”

After reading it, Chen Bing said: "Who else besides Qin Xiaoqin would be so kind to report to us?" ”

Wang Si said to the two of them: "What can be determined now is that the enemy is a masked ghost under the Hades king, and nothing else can be determined. ”

Chen Bing muttered in a low voice, "Who will send this?" ”

At this time, Ye Chen said thoughtfully: "No matter who it is, whether it is true or not, we have to be prepared." After saying that, he called Shang Wei into the study.

Zou Hu also ran over to join in the fun, picked up the letter and looked at it, after reading it for a long time, he seemed to feel that this handwriting was a little familiar. The pen is strong and powerful, and it is eclectic, but Zou Hu has been thinking about it in his mind for a long time and there is no result. He followed the footsteps of Ye Chen and Wei and walked towards the study.

In the study, Ye Chen said to Yu: "The masked ghost mentioned in the letter is likely to be the murderer who killed Kui. ”

He stared blankly at the letter on the table and asked, "Is the news reliable?" ”

Ye Chen said: "I'm not sure who sent it, so I'm skeptical about the authenticity of the news." ”

At this time, Zou Hu, who ran in, spoke: "I know who wrote this. ”

Ye Chen and Wei looked at the panting Zou Hu at the same time, and Zou Hu continued: "I have seen this handwriting when I was doing the pro-soldier team for General Lin. ”

Ye Chen said: "Don't sell it, hurry up!" ”

Zou Hu stood still, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I think this is the handwriting of Wang Kaitai, the former general of the Annan Provincial Army. ”

Ye Chen suddenly realized, patted his thigh and immediately stood up, walked in front of Zou Hu and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Who did I say, it wouldn't be strange if it was Wang Kaitai, but I didn't expect him to infiltrate so quickly." ”

When Zou Hu heard him say this, he immediately explained: "I heard General Lin say before that Wang Kaitai was one of the top scouts in the border army before he became a general, and there was no enemy he couldn't get close to, and there was no enemy who could catch him, and finally he was transferred to the Annan Provincial War Barracks because he was wounded. ”

Ye Chen nodded and didn't speak, and said: "I want to take a risk this time, because I am about the same size as you, so I will pretend to be you, lure the snake out of the hole, and annihilate it in one fell swoop." ”

Ye Chen looked at him and stopped: "No, this is too dangerous!" ”

"It's a rare opportunity, and I don't want to give it up. ”

Ye Chen smiled: "Who said I was going to give up this opportunity!" ”

Zou Hu said: "Boss, you don't want to take risks on your own, do you?" ”

Ye Chen nodded and continued: "Since everyone has come to the door, then we naturally can't let people go back empty-handed, and it will be rude to come and come!" Besides, people are going to meet me directly, which means that they may already know about the existence of this small courtyard, so they can't take it lightly. If they find out that someone is impersonating me, it will probably scare this masked ghost away, and the gains will outweigh the losses! ”

Seeing that he couldn't say anything, he had to give up, and was about to go out, only to hear Ye Chen say again: "Xiao, wait a minute, I still have something to do." After speaking, he looked at Zou Hu and said, "You go and arrange a shift for Twenty King Kong, and arrange three secret posts around the courtyard at the same time, changing shifts every three hours during the day and every two hours at night." ”

Zou Hu nodded and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to do this, but I've never been embarrassed to say it." ”

Ye Chen looked at him and said with a smile: "It's not a word in my place, you don't have to be so restrained, just say whatever you want!" Learn more from Bingzi, as long as you can have half the thickness of Bingzi's skin, our Anjiang Association will be invincible. ”

Zou Hu touched his head and left with a smile.

Ye Chen said to the man who was still standing at the door: "Because the letter doesn't mention when the masked ghost will appear, so you four have to take turns on duty." ”

Xiao smiled: "Don't worry, protecting you is our greatest responsibility." ”

Ye Chen took a sip of tea with a smile and corrected: "You misunderstood, I didn't ask you to take turns to protect me, I asked you to take turns on duty in the small courtyard, I'm afraid that our secret sentry can't deal with the masked ghosts, once the masked ghosts enter our small courtyard, I hope you can warn as soon as possible." ”

Xiao smiled: "Don't worry, we're good at this, and besides, I'll make Mei inseparable from you." ”

Ye Chen smiled: "There's no need, a masked ghost can't pose any threat to me, I mainly have two purposes." First, give Kui an explanation; Second, test the results of the brothers' recent training. ”

As if he understood, he nodded and exited the study.

Ye Chen sat alone in the study, looking at the letters on the table in a daze, he suddenly thought that there would be a distressing thing in the future, that is, what Wang Kaitai should do afterwards.

At this time, the fish who had just withdrawn walked in again and said, "The fat man who chased the little potato before is dead. ”

Ye Chen looked at Wei in surprise and asked, "How did you die?" ”

He replied, "I just came back to report that I was hanged on the beam of my house." ”

Ye Chen's brows furrowed even deeper, if he hadn't had this secret letter, he would have gone to find the fat man at this time, but who knew that this fat man died so bizarrely. Ye Chen didn't believe that this fat man hanged himself because he repented of his bad deeds, he felt that there must be something strange in it.

Wei didn't believe that this scourge would be discovered by his conscience, so he arranged for Mei to sneak in to check the corpse, otherwise it would be even more difficult to insect the corpse when the people from the government carried the corpse away.

At dinner time, Ye Chen sat in the private room on the second floor of Fenghua Building, and there was no fourth person at the table except Chen Bing and Qin Xiaoqin.

Qin Xiaoqin smiled: "How come our Boss Ye has the spare time to come here and invite me to dinner?" ”

Ye Chen said: "There is no money to spend." ”

Qin Xiaoqin got up and pretended to leave, Chen Bing stood up and hurriedly grabbed Qin Xiaoqin and said, "Brother, there is something to discuss, everyone is a brother." ”

Qin Xiaoqin said arrogantly: "If you want money, if you want a life, you can do it yourself." After speaking, he raised his head and crossed Erlang's legs.

Ye Chen looked at Qin Xiaoqin's appearance of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water and couldn't help laughing, and said: "Look at your little bit of talent, the dignified Annan Provincial Inspector Si Qianhu, the right-hand man of the head of the Huaguo Inspectorate, why are you so picky?" ”

Qin Xiaoqin didn't look at him, but said expressionlessly: "You don't pick it, 50,000 taels of silver!" You've been defeated in such a short time? ”

Ye Chen said: "It's not that I'm defeated, but that the Anjiang Association has just started, and I have bought a Fenghua Building, and the cost of the small courtyard in the west of the city is also huge, how much money do you think I can afford to spend like this?" ”

Qin Xiaoqin refused to give out the money, so he said: "If you want me to contribute people, I just don't have money." ”

Ye Chen slammed the table, making Qin Xiaoqin startled and looked at him in horror. Ye Chen smiled: "Then I don't want you to pay, you can contribute!" ”

Qin Xiaoqin's eyes widened, with an expression of remorse after being deceived, feeling that you are waiting for me here!

Chen Bing laughed when he saw Qin Xiaoqin's appearance and said, "Lord Qin, this is what you said, you have to contribute." ”

"I ......," Qin Xiaoqin was speechless for a while.

Ye Chen said: "Someone sent a secret letter to Wang Si yesterday, and it was preliminarily determined that it was Wang Kaitai, and I deduced that he had broken into the interior of the underground black market, but I can't say to what extent, and I don't have his contact information." ”

Qin Xiaoqin also said with a straight face: "At noon, Wang Si sent someone to tell me, what are you going to do?" ”

Ye Chen smiled: "I need an opportunity to show my face outside, and this time node must be known to outsiders." ”

Qin Xiaoqin squinted and smiled, "Are you trying to lure the snake out of the hole?" ”

Ye Chen said: "Yes, I think this is the best way to get close to this masked ghost. Since you can't have friendly contact, then directly declare war, after a long time, how can there be anyone who doesn't know your opponent, and it shouldn't be a problem to unite your forces to eradicate this cancer when the time comes. ”

Qin Xiaoqin smiled slightly: "I hope!" ”

Chen Bing was a little confused and asked, "Chenzi, what opportunity do you want?" ”

Qin Xiaoqin also looked at him and waited for an answer, Ye Chen looked at the two of them and smiled: "I don't know either." ”

Chen Bing and Qin Xiaoqin picked up their wine glasses and touched them and drank them all, they were a little uncomfortable now, they felt hungry for more than ten days, and the fat they were about to eat was lost again!

Ye Chen flattered: "It's because I don't know what to do that I came to find our handsome and martial Lord Qin to figure out a way together!" Without your advice, I don't know the bottom of my heart! ”

Qin Xiaoqin cleared his throat, raised his head and said solemnly: "It's just handsome and martial arts?" ”

Ye Chen smiled: "How is it possible, it's just that the words in my head are not enough to describe you." In a word, my admiration for Lord Qin is like a surging river, and it is also like the Yellow River flooding out of control. ”

Chen Bing was dumbfounded on the side, the thickness of the skins of these two people is not the energy of ordinary rulers, and the length of the outer city wall of Annan Road is estimated to be less than the thickness of their faces at this time!
