Just when everyone was discussing the composition of the Youbei army, the panting hearth hook took the Gu family and his wife, and the group of three ran to the top of the mountain panting. After greeting everyone, Master Gu just looked at the corpse, then turned around and hugged a big tree and vomited. Listening to the sound of his vomiting, it was as if he was going to vomit everything in his body.

On the contrary, Mrs. Huang, who was a woman, laughed at the sight of this terrifying corpse, and the whole person applauded and applauded, completely ignoring the demeanor of Mrs. Palm Print, laughing and shouting:

"The old lady has long said that this little wave of hooves will definitely not end well! What do you think? Sure enough! Seeing that she was wearing this night clothes, she either stole silver or stole men, took it over and let the owner of the family find out, and finally made this virtue! Gu Hui, you old king, open your eyes and take a look! Look at what kind of fate your beautiful wife and concubine are now! You see that she is silent on weekdays, but secretly she has a stomach full of bad water! What do you think! Retribution! Let the family cut a big open! Joyfully! Let me tell you the surname Gu, if you continue like this, this little wave of hooves today is your ......"

"Stop, stop! Mrs. Gu, we can all feel your joy! But after all, Master Gu and Yan Shuai have been colleagues for many years, and in the future, they will not look up and look down in Jincheng, how much will you save some face for the prefect of your family? ”

Shen Gui really didn't want to listen to these housework of the Gu Governor's Mansion, so he hurriedly stopped Mrs. Huang's "acceptance speech", and nodded in the direction of Yan Chongwu.

Only then did Mrs. Huang remember that Yan Chongwu was present, and immediately retracted, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face. Although this is not the first time she has seen Yan Chongwu, no matter how familiar she is, she is also the commander of the first army, and she is the most popular young talent in the royal family. The appearance of a shrew just now fell in the eyes of this nobleman, and it was really a little unsightly.

"Sister-in-law, don't see outside, I am a minister in the same hall as Lord Gu, and we are together on errands on weekdays, so we have long been like brothers! But what you just said, Yan is the first time I've heard of it! I also bother you to be able to ...... carefully."

"I said Yan Chongwu, are you human? The old nest is about to be kicked over by Pingbeihou, and he still has the heart to inquire about other people's private affairs? ”

Yan Chongwu shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent face:

"Now that they have determined that the deceased is Liniang, it proves that there is no luck to be expected, and I can't do it for a while?"

Master Gu hugged the tree and vomited and cried, forced by Mrs. Huang's presence, he couldn't say anything in his heart, he could only hum and make some meaningless onomatopoeia, this pitiful appearance looked really wronged, how wronged, how heartbroken. listened to Shen Gui very tiredly.

"I said, Master Gu, what are you crying about? As soon as this beautiful girl dies, the biggest beneficiary is you! ”

Although Master Gu vomited dizzily, and his heart was filled with sadness that could not be dissolved, he still glared at Shen Gui angrily when he heard Shen Gui's "cool words" at this time. If Mrs. Huang and Yan Chongwu were not present at this time, I am afraid that they would have already pounced on Shen Gui to redeem their lives!

"The next time you want to stare at someone, remember to wipe away your tears first. Shen said something unkind, although there is nothing wrong with your identity, but your concubine, who is "worth 1,800 taels of silver", is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In other words, you never knew this lady at all! ”

Gu Hui, who was still angry, heard Shen Gui's words at this time, and his expression suddenly became stunned:

"What do you mean?"

"If we don't deduce wrongly, this concubine of yours is a spy from an underground organization in Nankang, Diting. Your friend introduced by the center, although he did not earn your money, I am afraid that he has already received a lot of benefits from the Diting side. As for whether his violent death had anything to do with Di Ting, it seems that this possibility is not impossible now......"

"Impossible! I am a small official in a border city, and he is a poor prefect who even relies on accepting bribes to take concubines, how can it be worth sending a beautiful ...... by the people of Nankang Where did the spies come to me? ”

"Don't forget, although Jincheng is a border town, it is the "Two Northern Front" after all, and the importance of its strategic position is enough to send a spy to infiltrate the government. And now we have no way of knowing the employer behind Liniang and her specific tasks in Youbei, so it is impossible to determine whether it is specifically for you.

Mrs. Huang couldn't hold back any longer, pursed her lips and said:

"I said a long time ago that this little wave of hooves is not a good thing, but no one believes it! Just because you are such a poor and sour scholar, you have no money and no title, why should people be so young and beautiful? Not to mention that your body is not ......."

"Shut up! Slut, how can you talk about the old man's conversation, and you have room for a woman to speak! ”

Gu Hui couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted a reprimand at this Huang lady. And how fierce is Mrs. Huang? How can he, an old pervert who is already morally flawed, be beaten up in front of everyone? So, the old couple and wife started like this. This fight was fierce and lively, and in the end, they scratched each other's big faces.

Adhering to the principle that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, several other people watched coldly and watched this "family tragedy" on behalf of others.

Mrs. Huang is really worthy of being a heroine, with a broken nose and a bloody face, and scratched her master out of a face full of flowers by stalking her neck. And the reading seed who lost on the battlefield, Gu Hui Gu Ziyu Gu, was already sitting on the ground limp at this moment, sobbing silently, and he didn't know that he was grief-stricken for the death of his concubine? was still cried alive by a pair of sharp claws of his own tigress.

Seeing that he no longer resisted, Mrs. Huang pinched her waist and spat at the mouthful: "Reader, phew! Then he wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and pulled out a "charming and charming" smile at Shen Gui:

"Thank you Shen Shaoxia for bringing such good news to the slave family, go back to the mansion to eat at night, and my sister-in-law will make dumplings for you! How about pork green onions? Oh yes, I just patronized the old pervert and forgot to tell you about the business. After you left today, I wanted to help you get a new set of sleeper covers, but I didn't find a piece of paper under the bed board of this little wave's hoof...... I'm just a woman, I don't know many words, and my knowledge is very short, so when you go back and see for yourself, what if it will be useful to you? Won't that sister-in-law make a great contribution? ”

When Shen Gui heard the good news, he was immediately shocked. Now it has gradually become a dead end, if Mrs. Huang finds any useful new clues, this is really called the willow and the flower, the peak and the loop!

"Don't wait, let's go back! Yan Dashuai, are you coming into the city with us? Or go back to the camp to prepare for war, in case Pingbei Hou takes advantage of the night to rob the camp? ”

Yan Chongwu replied directly without thinking about it:

"Come with you. I also want to see what kind of immortal this Diting spy from Nankang is. As for Beiyan robbing the camp at night, there is no need to think about it in the past few days! Guo Xiao Lao'er has always been cautious, and he will not do such a gambling thing until he is 100% sure! ”

The stove hook pouted after listening

"Just such a timid old man, dare to call himself a generation of famous generals? And you, the head of the world's famous generals in Youbei, even fought back and forth with him? ”

Yan Chongwu listened to his layman's words, and he also said with great disdain:

"If you want food, you can ask for food, don't get involved in these marches and wars! The people of Beiyan are from the source of soldiers to the armament; Whether it is national strength or wealth, it is several times or even more than ten times that of our Youbei Third Road. The reason why our two sides have been able to hold each other for many years, in addition to the complicated situation in the Beiyan Dynasty, all rely on the dangerous and majestic pass of the East Customs! If it is replaced, Youbei has an overall advantage, and I will not be in danger. If you are steady, you can win the final victory, who wants to win by surprise? The art of war and strategy is always the hope of the weak, not the choice of the strong! ”

The furnace hook was dumbfounded, so he had to pretend not to hear it, and went down the mountain to explore the way.

After everyone came to the wing where Shen Gui stayed, Mrs. Huang took out a piece of paper from her room:

"It was originally pressed under the bed, but when I found it, I put it in my room. Let's take a look, what is written on it, and whether it is useful or not? If it's useful, can you save my family's life? I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will slap him for collaborating with the enemy...... Hey, don't say it, don't say it......"

Shen Gui took the piece of paper and looked at it, and his mind instantly became even more chaotic.

There is no earth-shattering secret written on this piece of paper, just an extremely common and somewhat simple and sloppy arrears document:

'Today, I borrowed it to the Shuangtian Gambling House in Fengjing City, with 80,000 taels of silver, and a total of 95,000 taels of principal and interest, which will be repaid with a limit of 3 months. ’

There is a date written on the sign-off place, and there is a vermilion seal of the Shuangtian Gambling House, and there are two small characters written at the bottom - Zhou Yan!

Shen Gui calmly read it from beginning to end, and Mrs. Huang, who had always been curious, patted her head and shouted loudly outside the courtyard:

"Gu Hui, you old king! You see, this little prodigal must have stolen the city defense silver and paid off the gambling debts for her old friend named 'Zhou Yan'! Look at who you recruited, this green hat is worn, and the old lady is panicking for you! You ......"

"Sister-in-law, stop for a moment! Double Sky Casino also has a store in Jincheng? ”

Mrs. Huang, who had just scolded a red-faced lady, only shook her head happily when she heard Shen Gui's question:

"No, there is only one treasure bureau in Jincheng, and there is no two-day gambling house!"

"That's it! The borrowing note of this 80,000 taels of silver ticket should come from the Shuangtian Gambling House in the capital. In other words, this 'Zhou Yan' is a person from the capital! ”

Yan Chongwu looked at Shen Gui and shook his fingers, and said with a smug face:

"What are you doing here? This is the shackle of our prince Yan Day! I haven't seen the soft word in the pen of other gentlemen, but have you also seen the miracle of a woman entering the gambling house? What's more, you can borrow 80,000 taels of silver on credit at a time, and you don't write anything as collateral? Who can have this value in the capital, and who is not famous? Who of you has heard of Zhou Yan's name? Don't think about it, it must be the prince! ”

When Shen Guiyi heard Yan Chongwu's explanation, he suddenly remembered a lot of details that he had ignored before, but he still had a big head and couldn't figure out a clue.

However, Shen Gui was not in a hurry. He also knows very well that he is currently only lacking a thread that can string these "pearls into a necklace". The so-called water comes naturally, and many mysteries have gradually emerged at this time......
