In an inconspicuous two-story bamboo building in Jihefang, south of the city, a man about thirty years old stroked the shiny blade of the knife, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

He gave birth to a Chinese face, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and a high nose bridge, and he knew from a distance that he was the type of man who was extremely manly.

Coupled with his beard, he looks old and serious.

"Lord Zongqi, our people have already been dispatched, and it won't take long to collect evidence."

The man who stroked the blade of the knife nodded: "Don't startle the snake." This time, we are not acting alone, and we will cooperate with Mishiga-sama in everything. ”

He is Shen Lun, the chief flag officer of Jinyi Weibei Town. The commander Liu Shouyou and Lord Liu instructed him to bring more than a dozen people all the way to Jingzhou under a pseudonym, and secretly cooperated with He Wencheng to investigate the case.

Although they are Jinyiwei, they are not seen because they are pseudonyms.

"Subordinates obey."

Captain Yin Feng hugged his fists and was about to retreat.

"Wait."

Shen Lun raised his eyebrows and said: "Send a few people to guard outside the Ning family, I'm afraid that the Liao Wang dog will jump off the wall in a hurry and want to kill Ning Xiu." ”

Although they did not use the true identity of Jinyiwei on this trip, the Liao King should not be aware of it, but it is better to be careful in everything. This Ning Xiu is a person who has been mentioned repeatedly by Elder Zhang Ge and Commander Liu, and there must be no accidents.

"My subordinates understand."

"Stand down."

Shen Lun waved his hand, and Yin Feng turned to leave.

Shen Lun's gaze became cold, and he put the knife into the sheath and got up and walked to the bronze mirror.

He took a small blade from the table, and without hesitation, he shaved all the beards off his face in front of the bronze mirror.

This beard has been with him for more than ten years, and today he has no regrets about shaving it off in order to carry out his mission.

Shaved off his beard, he touched his cheek with his somewhat rough right hand, and it was indeed a lot smoother.

After shaving off his beard, Shen Lun's whole person also looked a lot more energetic, and he seemed to be several years younger.

"No wonder Jiangnan women like handsome and beautiful people, it's really cute."

Shen Lun smiled bitterly, took off the cotton robe he wore when he was in a hurry, changed into a Confucian shirt, and covered a coat, and strode out of the building.

......

......

Approaching the end of the year, every household is busy buying New Year's goods.

The shops in Gangneung City are overcrowded, and people queuing up to buy rice and noodles can go from the store to the square door.

Ning Xiu was glad that he had asked someone to buy the New Year's goods early, otherwise he would have to join the long army if he wanted to buy them at the end of the year.

Ning's house is pasted with couplets inside and out, full of New Year's atmosphere.

Since the 24th of the lunar month, the cement and soap workshops of Ning Kee have been temporarily suspended, and the Ning Kee Restaurant has also been temporarily closed.

The big guy has been busy and tired for a year, and Ning Xiu wants to give the guys a long vacation and let them have a good rest.

Ordinary people are much more comfortable than officials on holidays. As long as ordinary people want to rest, they can put down their work at any time. The officials of the Ming Dynasty must take leave in accordance with the law, and the vacation is really pitiful in a year.

Shichiro and Shiro also went home, and there were suddenly so many fewer people in the big mansion, and it was really uncomfortable to be empty.

However, this is also giving Ning Xiu a chance to get along with the second elder. It is rare for the family to sit together and chat, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

But he said that on this day, Ning Xiu was going out to buy some red paper, and when the New Year was approaching, he planned to write a love poem and send it to Qi Ling'er, the master of Beijing.

After careful calculation, this letter can be delivered around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and when the moon is full, the role of love poems is also a bonus.

Naturally, you can't use ordinary letter paper to write love poems, Ning Xiu heard that a new notepad shop in Jingzhou City was selling red paper, so he naturally wanted to buy some.

The red paper, also known as the Huanhua paper, became famous because the famous poetess Xue Tao wrote poems on it and sang harmony with Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi and others, and was also regarded as the most suitable paper for writing love poems.

Ning Xiu believed that Qi Ling'er understood everything the moment she saw the red note.

The Heshan Hall, which sells red papers, is in the neighboring square, and Ning Xiu walked towards the door after leaving the house.

It's just that he didn't take a few steps, but he noticed that someone seemed to be following behind him, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Why would anyone follow him? Could it be that the King of Liao already knows about the 'ledger' and plans to kill people and kill people without doing anything, right?

Since Chu Wanglun's death, Ning Xiu had almost forgotten about it, but today's situation reminded him that things didn't seem to be over yet!

If the King of Liao really knew that the 'ledger' had been taken away by him, it would be an extremely terrible thing.

After all, the King of Liao is the prince, and the energy is much greater than that of the Lu family and Chu Wanglun.

He just didn't make a move, if he really made a move, would Ning Xiu really have the power to parry?

Ning Xiu deliberately quickened his pace and walked into a small alley, he wanted to see if his judgment was correct, if these people were really following him!

Unfortunately, when Ning Xiu dodged into the alley, those people followed without hesitation!

Tracking, this is naked tracking.

Ning Xiu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He must not panic now. Eighty percent of these people are the people of the King of Liao, but judging from the fact that they only track, the King of Liao does not want to do anything in the city.

After all, there are many people in the city, and the possibility of leaving evidence in the city is too high.

So as long as Ning Xiu doesn't go out of the city and doesn't go to a place that is too secluded, there will be no danger.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiu immediately quickened his pace and walked out of the alley, and after blending into the crowd, Ning Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Zhang Maoxiu was still in Jiangling, Ning Xiu would definitely go to Zhang's Mansion to seek refuge without hesitation.

But now that Zhang Maoxiu has gone to Jingshi, he can only find another way.

He vaguely remembered that he had heard Zhang Maoxiu mention that Li Ruili, the prefect of Jingzhou, was a protégé of Zhang Gelao, and if this was the case, he might gain something from going to the mansion.

If Li Rui is really Zhang Juzheng's person, he will definitely not sit idly by.

Ning Xiu naturally didn't have the heart to buy any notepads at the moment, so he immediately turned back and went to the mansion.

The official on duty outside the government had already known Ning Xiu, and after going to report it, he brought Ning Xiu in.

The two of them walked through the hall and came to the inner office, and the official kindly instructed: "Ning Xiaoxianggong, the mansion has been busy entertaining Lord Shihe for the past two days, and he is tired and tight. If you have something important, say it quickly, don't procrastinate and provoke Fuzun to anger. ”

Ning Xiu gratefully hugged his fist at him: "Thank you." ”

The door was hidden, Ning Xiu knocked on the door, and Governor Li said softly: "Come in." ”

Ning Xiu pushed the door and entered, and saw that Li Zhifu was lying on a bamboo chair with his eyes closed, and two beautiful maids were beating his legs.

He hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and bowed, "Student Ning Xiu pays a visit to Lord Fuzun." ”

......
