When Cui Hanzhang returned to Xiaolianzhuang, it was already three o'clock, but his brain was running at high speed without stopping, and even if he lay down, he didn't feel sleepy at all. The giant frog Mingtian breathing method made his breathing more long and powerful, and there was a primrose drum to assist in cultivation, the effect was far better than the tiger and leopard thunder sound he comprehended at this stage, and his spirit recovered after two small weeks of silent breathing, and the whole person looked radiant.

He stepped out of the second-floor balcony and sat down by the water. In the dead of night, brew a pot of spring tea, waft with the fragrance of tea, quietly comb through the recent events, string together several threads, and want to find out the connection. Concern is chaos, he vaguely feels that there is a strangeness behind these things, there is always a fog in front of him, and the information in his hand is not enough to deduce the whole picture.

Just when Cui Hanzhang was deep in thought, Cui Bo quietly approached and whispered, "Uncle, Brother Xuan is gone." ”

"Huh? When did you leave? What about their guides? Cui Hanzhang remembered the return of Brother Xuan and Chidi after he reminded him, but he didn't expect these two guys to be so anxious, and he couldn't help frowning and saying.

"Brother Yun of the Hou Mansion sent them by Lu Yin, and the queen of the second watch was also personally sent out of the city by Marquis Bai." Trebo told him everything about it.

"Master Hou didn't see his uncle come back when he waited until his son, and he stayed in the West Wing tonight, do you want the old slave to wake him up?"

"No need! Let him rest well! There are a lot of things going on this day, everyone is tired enough, Cui Bo, you can rest too! Cui Hanzhang told Cui Bo to rest.

"People who bury the loess to their necks will have a lot of time to sleep and nag in the future." The Cui Bo people are old, and they lack sleep badly, so they wake up in the middle of the night after resting in the first half of the night, and when they wake up, they wander around the yard and patrol the night. The old man has feelings for every grass and tree in Xiaolianzhuang, and he can't get enough of it.

While the two were chatting, they heard Bai Yanqiu's voice. "Sure enough, it was your kid who came back, and Ben Hou waited for a night. Cui Bo cut some braised vegetables and soup pot wine, and I chatted with your uncle while drinking. ”

After a long period of contact, Bai Yanqiu was conquered by the vast martial arts cultivation of the martial arts master Ghost Fang Division. When I have nothing to do, I go to the West Wing to discuss martial arts with the Great Elder, and every time I am pointed out by him the flaws in the spirit snake marksmanship, after correction and improvement, it can improve its power, so that it can benefit a lot. Today, after the Great Elder enlightened him, he realized that there was another master who helped his skills to increase greatly. However, no matter how much he tried to side-knock on the side, the Great Elder did not reveal any more information, only told him that he was destined to meet.

"Master Hou, wait a minute, the old slave will go and eat the two appetizers." Cui Bo leaned over and slowly retreated.

"Master Hou's skills have improved again, it's really gratifying!" Bai Yanqiu was able to find out that he was back so quickly, this hearing was extraordinary, and this kind of improvement speed made Cui Hanzhang envious.

"Hey! Don't get me wrong, it's all the ability of the Great Elder, and Ben Hou is an afterthought. Bai Yanqiu shook his head and said, although he dreamed of going to the next level of skill, but the martial arts could not be reached if he wanted to go fast. The Great Elder clearly told him that at this stage, he had to use the water mill to integrate the previous ascensions, and that during this period, it was most taboo to not cultivate the mind enough, otherwise there would be endless troubles in the future.

There was silence all around, starlight, and the two of them were drinking in a small pavilion in the lake wearing fox furs.

"The ancients wrote poems and said that they could pick the stars with their hands, and this must be this artistic conception!" Lingwu Hou poured wine in a handpot and carried it behind his back, and stroked the starry sky into a picking shape with one hand, leisurely and leisurely.

"I originally intended to stay with Chidi and Brother Xuan for a while, I never thought that the two of them left in such a hurry, thanks to the Hou Ye."

"Chidi is eager to return to his hometown, and Brother Xuan'er also wants to go to a quiet place to regain his lost memories and stay in Taikang to live like a year!" Bai Yanqiu leaned against the railing and said.

"The Great Elder said that in a short period of three or five years, and in a long period of ten years, two masters will rise in the Ghost Fang Division. Let's leave them alone, how did you talk about Ru Jingxiu? ”

"It's troublesome to talk about this, the current situation is that the capital crime has been avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!"

"This matter has to be discussed by everyone, the autopsy conclusion of the one-eyed old grandson of the Criminal Department is the same as that of Xiao Wu, Sima Rufeng temporarily accepted the murderer's statement that there was another person, but he did not let go. The crux of the matter lies in the witness Cao Xiang, and if he does not return to the case, he will not be able to clear the charges of Brother Xiu'er. Cui Hanzhang recounted what happened in Sima Mansion as it was.

"One-eyed old grandson, I've heard of this person. Among the many works of the Criminal Department, he is respected, and the Sima family even invited him, and it seems that he does not believe in the words of the military doctor Xiao Wu and the government officials. ”

"Who's to say it isn't! Fortunately, Xiao Wu is more fierce than Lao Sun, and he also cooperates on the scene. Both of them thought that there was a master who shattered Sima Rui's internal organs with his dark energy, and he was extremely painful when he died. This kind of exercise hurts people and is invisible. ”

The two chatted with each other, Ru Jingxiu was their little brother, and he should be protected by reason, not to mention that Ru Jingxiu did not kill anyone, and now it seems that he was framed and blamed.

"But I always feel that this thing is very strange, if it is said that it is for Ru Jingxiu, I can't help but look up to him too much. If it is said to provoke the hatred between the Ru Mansion and the Sima clan behind it, these two families can't be beaten by eight poles. Cui Hanzhang has been very confused on this point, and at this time he said it and discussed it with Bai Yanqiu.

"Who said that the one who harmed you must be the enemy? As long as there is interest, there is a reason to make a move. There must be a motive behind this that you and I don't know, and now we can only take one step at a time. Bai Yanqiu couldn't think of a reason for a while, but he looked at the problem from a different perspective.

"By the way, I heard that you went to collect the accounts during the day? How about it, Xiao Jing's grandson didn't pay his debts, right? Cui Hanzhang suddenly thought of this stubble, after all, he also bet millions of silver.

"How dare he? If he dared to repay the account, Ben Hou ordered the bastards in the whole city to dare to copy the Xiao family's money village. ”

"You're so bad! It is true that the wicked have their own wicked grinding! When he meets you Bai Yanqiu, he is considered unlucky. Bai Yanqiu actually wanted to transfer part of the gambling debts to the bastards in the whole city and let them go to the house. Hooligan play, the laughing Cui Hanzhang squirted a sip of wine.

"Let me tell you the truth, Xiao Jing ran to Yikun Palace last night to pretend to be pitiful, and when I heard that he would kneel outside the palace and be punished! It was Xiao Ju'an who came forward to settle the accounts and repay the money, and they mobilized the treasury of the whole city to repay 10 million taels of silver, and there were 20 million taels of IOUs, saying that they went back to Jin'an to ask the old lady to raise money. The two had a drink, eating brine peanuts, and the topic naturally turned to the gambling account.

"Thirty million taels of silver is a wealth that is worth the total tax payment of Qingzhou for three years, and this kind of gambling is probably going to be stabbed above. Will we offend the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness King Kang by doing this, after all, the polo club they run, we use it to gamble money, and we still make the Xiao family so miserable? This huge amount of gambling is shocking, and it is the only one in Cui Hanzhang's life. It is worthy of being a Taikang gate valve, and its courage and financial resources are beyond people's reach. It's just that he was also a little worried, and pointed to the starry sky above his head as he spoke.

"It's all dry, I'm afraid of having a hair. You don't have to worry too much, the law does not blame the public, we are at best killing the rich and helping the poor. The queen mother was very angry, but what was even more angry was Xiao Jing's incompetence. ”

"First of all, this matter was provoked by Xiao Jing, he thought that he would make the queen happy by paying for a polo game with his left hand, and he would scavenge the bill from our Chili street with his right hand. Wen Zhuyan had a full 10 million taels of silver in the three major cabinets, and he didn't look at him pitifully. ”

"Secondly, we didn't eat alone in this game. There are more than a dozen families in Taikang City who are involved in this matter, and King Kang also has a copy, and his cousin didn't bring a table. What Xiao should reflect on is why so many people in Taikang City fell into the well this time, and they wanted to eat him alive. ”

Bai Yanqiu's two points are to the point, if it weren't for his harmful intentions, he would not have been beaten up by everyone. King Kang's participation in the gambling game surprised Cui Hanzhang, it turned out that there was already a rift between the two, and it was by no means as harmonious as it appeared on the surface, so they should make good use of this in the future.

"And the most important point, do you know Hanzhang?" Bai Yanqiu nibbled on a braised chicken leg, pinched the bones in his hand and pointed at him and asked.

"Say you're fat, you're still panting." Cui Hanzhang saw that he was smiling with bad intentions, and couldn't help laughing and scolding.

"Behind your Lingwu Hou stands the generation generals on Chili Street, and you have united half of the wealthy lords in Taikang City to play such a big game of chess, I can't guess. Stop going around in circles, let's talk about it. ”

Bai Yanqiu was very praised by him, laughed, poured a sip of old wine and said with a smile: "I don't have him, only Qian Er!" ”

Cui Hanzhang was a little inexplicable, "Pay the money? With whom? Who would dare to ask for your share of Chili Street? ”

"Where is the usual wisdom, who do you say dares to take money from Chili Street? Who is God in this sky above our heads? ”

Wake up the person in the dream with a word, no wonder Bai Yanqiu is not afraid at all, he looks like he is nothing, and he has to lead the team to swagger to Xiao's Money Village to collect the debt. It's just that things are beyond his imagination, and it can also involve the palace behind this, which is really unexpected.

"What about fish farming? Done! Bai Yanqiu urged him to drain the wine in the cup, and then let him slowly digest the shocking news. It's easy to say, but it's too hard to do. The time and place are favorable, and the lack of everything will fall short, and what tests the principal's ability to control the people's hearts and the situation on the field is more tested.

Bai Yanqiu and his brother never held each other, and said again: "Although Ben Hou has some face, he can't arrange such a big situation. Halfway through, the principals of all the provinces on Chili Street participated. is about the last hidden danger, which was also handled by the second grandfather of the Guan Mansion and the old lady of the Zhefu Mansion in the palace. ”

"When the gun goes off, there are 10,000 taels of gold, and it costs money to fight, but the Xiao family is a century-old imperial businessman, shouldn't he take some money to make up his salary?"

"It's not so much that Xiao Jing lost to me, but that he lost to everyone. Arrogant and arrogant, the cause and effect will eventually hurt themselves. Weekdays are unreasonable, and others are impermanent. ”

"Who taught this? said so upright and peaceful, indifferent to fame and fortune. Cui Hanzhang felt that the person who could say this must be a wise man with years of experience, but the true Buddha only said ordinary words, and at their age they were still addicted to the stage of playing ruthless and brave.

"Admit that you can die if you are indifferent and open-minded! You know, Ben Hou didn't have great ambitions at first, so he wanted to be a rich idler, but there were always people who didn't open their eyes. Bai Yanqiu rolled her eyes at him.

Cui Hanhan didn't bother to pay attention to him, took a sip of hot wine and said leisurely: "There have been a lot of things recently, I have to transfer two more battalions of soldiers and horses into the city to control the situation, and the Hou Ye will prepare for the wedding the day after tomorrow, don't make people feel that they have neglected the second miss of the Lin Mansion." ”

"Everything is in the hands of Ben Hou, Hanzhang doesn't have to worry. The Yulin Army stationed three battalions of soldiers and horses in the city, including the Xiaowu Battalion, and even some of them were destined to not make a splash. ”

"Cao Xiang is digging three feet into the ground, I will also find him out, neither party can hold him, he should not be a nameless." Cui Hanzhang is still angry about the disappearance of Cao Xiang, a student of Taiyuan.

"Eighty percent has entered the ghost market, and I have already asked people to go to the Taiyuan to transfer his student registration file, and the monk can't run the temple." Bai Yanqiu burped.

"Ghost City ....." Cui Hanzhang muttered in his mouth, his brows furrowed and twisted together. There is such a mysterious and powerful extralegal place in Taikang City, which is really a headache.
