In the morning, another piece of exciting news appeared in Pingzhou City.

'Pingzhou name (jì) Liu Qingyin painted a fire on the Qinhuai River, and Liu Qingyin was nowhere to be found'.

This news was released by the Ming Society, so in an instant, it spread all over the streets and alleys of Pingzhou City.

The person who posted the news was none other than Zhang Xiang.

After finding a place for Liu Qingyin to settle down last night, he rushed back to his house, and when he came back, he saw Zhao Hanyan, who had gotten the news, preparing to go out.

After all, someone saw him when he got on the boat, and some people knew about his (shēn) share, and after the painting boat caught fire last night, someone who was thoughtful reported the news to the government as soon as possible.

This is also the reason why the government sent troops so quickly last night.

I'm afraid that he will have three strengths and two weaknesses as a colt.

I searched all night, but I couldn't find the colt.

Later, it was only when they learned that the colt had returned home safely that these officials were relieved.

When Zhang Xiang came back last night, he told Zhao Hanyan the reason for the incident (qíng), and Zhao Hanyan was relieved.

It's just that last night and all night, Zhang Xiang felt that something was wrong with the whole thing (qíng), but he couldn't say it.

So, early in the morning, he rushed to the Ming Society and released the news in person.

He wanted to see what kind of reaction this news would make Yang Li and Liu Qingyin have?

After returning to the Horse Mansion from the Ming Society, Zhang Xiang hurriedly wrote a letter and asked the family to send it to the Yang Mansion.

So, after midnight, Yang Li's carriage left Yang's mansion.

The carriage shuttled through the city for a while, then turned into an old alley, and then stopped in front of a small courtyard.

Yang Li stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was an aunt who opened the door.

After she saw Yang Li, she was a little cautious: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Yang Li smiled: "Auntie, a friend of mine sent a woman to you last night, and he asked me to pick up this woman." ”

"Oh!" The aunt nodded: "This son, come with me." ”

Then the aunt took Yang Li into a room and shouted to the woman inside, "Girl, someone is here to pick you up." ”

In the room, Liu Qingyin, who was already neatly dressed, was sitting calmly by the window.

After looking back and seeing Yang Li, she walked over with a smile and saluted her aunt, "Thank you for taking care of her." ”

The aunt hurriedly shook her head: "Hey, it's okay, it's just that the girl was soaked last night (shēn) and contracted some wind cold, and she will have to drink a few more doses of medicine when she goes back." ”

Yang Li came out with Liu Qingyin, originally wanting to give the aunt some silver, but the aunt hurriedly waved her hand: "Son, don't worry, your friend gave the old woman ten taels of silver last night, and the old woman is content." ”

Subsequently, Yang Li took Liu Qingyin into the carriage and left the old alley.

In the carriage, Liu Qingyin said in a slightly regretful tone: "Originally, I thought it would be this Zhang Mingheng who would pick me up. ”

"He sent someone to bring me a letter early in the morning, saying that you are here, let me pick you up." Yang Li replied.

Liu Qingyin smiled lightly: "It seems that he really doesn't want to make friends with me in his heart." ”

"That's where I can't guess him." Yang Li said slowly: "This Zhang Mingheng's idea is too mysterious, and what he does is different from ordinary people, and it often surprises you." ”

"What's that?" Liu Qingyin narrowed his eyes and said indifferently: "At least after last night, I know some of his little secrets. ”

"What's the secret?" Yang Li hurriedly asked.

Liu Qingyin said: "There is a supreme master beside him (shēn), it was this supreme master who pulled me ashore with him last night, and I also heard their conversation, but I couldn't hear it clearly, after all, I used the turtle breath method to hide my breath and pretend to be unconscious, and I didn't dare to relax too much, otherwise I would be discovered by that master." ”

"What did they say?" Yang Li asked again.

Liu Qingyin thought for a while, his face suddenly calmed down, and he frowned: "This person on his side knows my (shēn) share, and this Zhang Mingheng also knows my (shēn) share, and last night this person also wanted Zhang Mingheng to throw me down the river." ”

"What?" Yang Li was taken aback.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Qingyin gradually became clearer about the conversation between Zhang Xiang and Yuan Shen that she heard last night, and her face became more solemn: "I don't know who this person is on his side, but I can actually know that I am the former princess of Chu's (shēn) share, even if it is in the rivers and lakes, there are only a handful of people who know my (shēn) share." ”

Then she thought for a moment, and then said, "Moreover, they seem to have guessed that we are thinking, but there is no evidence to prove it. ”

"The most important thing..."Liu Qingyin recalled what he could hear last night: "This Zhang Mingheng told him that maybe there will be a place for me in the future, and this time to save me, just to make me owe him someone (qíng), he is indeed not simple, at least it proves that he is indeed unwilling to his father's death, he wants to do something, this master on his side (shēn) may be his father's former subordinate, otherwise it is impossible to listen to him like this." ”

After listening to Liu Qingyin's words, Yang Li also felt incredible: "I didn't expect this Zhang Mingheng to have such power in secret." ”

"It's just..."Yang Li thought that the question should be more comprehensive after all, he frowned and said, "It's just that this master on his side (shēn) may have been sent to him by Zhao Hanyan?" ”

"Probably not." Liu Qingyin shook his head affirmatively: "If this is Zhao Hanyan's person, then wouldn't I, the former princess of Chu's (shēn) share, also know about it?" How could she, the royal princess, let me go? ”

"That's right." Yang Li nodded: "In that case, this is indeed Zhang Xiang's person, and Zhao Hanyan may not know either." ”

Liu Qingyin nodded: "If he wants to seek justice for his father, he will definitely not expose his strength to Zhao Hanyan." ”

Yang Li seemed to understand something: "No wonder, no wonder the assassins who assassinated him were all slaughtered, the government said that they were cannibalistic, I didn't believe it at first, but I couldn't figure it out, Zhang Mingheng was not capable of killing those assassins, and now when they are combined, it will be clear that those assassins should be killed by the people after him (shēn)." ”

Liu Qingyin nodded, revealing a wise smile: "Last night's plan was not in vain, I originally just wanted to test him, but we got such a big surprise, and then we have to make good use of it." ”

"Don't use this kind of bitter (ròu) in the future." Yang Li hurriedly said: "I looked for you all night last night, and I thought you had an accident." ”

Thinking of this, Liu Qingyin smiled sometimes and sometimes calmly, with a slightly happy smile on his face: "I didn't expect this Zhang Mingheng to be so savage, he directly pushed me down the river, if he couldn't swim, then I really sank the river with him, and the moment he pushed me down the river, I was really scared." Fortunately, he was not bad, he didn't leave me to escape alone, and dragged me ashore desperately. That's fine, there's nothing flawed, and if you wait for the ship you have prepared to come, maybe he'll still have doubts. ”

"It's kind of dangerous." Yang Li said softly: "It's just that this loss is indeed bigger, your painting boat, the family in my house, they are all loyal, and these dead soldiers I found, I originally wanted to use them in the future, but they ended up being used here." ”

"As long as we can pull him over and become our partner, it will be worth paying a big price." Liu Qingyin smiled indifferently: "If the painting boat is gone, buy it again, and recruit it again when the family is dead, your Yang Mansion is a rich family, this bit of silver won't be affordable, right?" Dead soldiers, they are all for silver, and if you give them money to settle their wives and children, they will give you their lives, and this is their own free will. ”

"Yes, you're right, I'll listen to you." Yang Li smiled freely, and then hugged her: "I shouldn't be so restrained." ”

Liu Qingyin said slowly: "Compared to this Zhang Mingheng's ruthlessness and decisiveness, I think you are still a little bit behind, Zhong Kang, you still have to learn from him at this point." ”

Yang Li didn't speak, and there was indeed a strong vinegar in his eyes.

Liu Qingyin quickly asked again: "By the way, you dealt with those people last night, right?" ”。

Yang Li nodded: "Don't worry, last night's painting boat, except for Zhang Mingheng, you and me, there was no one alive, I jumped into the river and left after everyone died, and the government will not find any useful information." ”

"That's good, wait a while (rì), you can help me make an appointment with this Zhang Mingheng, I have to thank this Zhang Mingheng for saving his life last night..."
