At this time, it was between the two games, the little two were cleaning up the chessboard on the table, and the other guests began to drink and chat leisurely, and the restaurant was noisy again. Yao Guangqi and Li Rou were also eating casually, but their ears searched the conversation around them.

After listening to it for a while, the others were talking about the short and the history of Fengyueyan, only the guests at the left-hand table were complaining about the chess game, "Fuck, it's weird, I didn't win a game today, and I lost more than 20 taels." ”

"Are you still weird? Weirder than yesterday's shower? ”

Maybe he was familiar with the chess game, and the guest at another table next to him answered, "Two strange things happened yesterday, is the rain you are talking about in the morning the evil wind and strange rain?" There is another strange thing, last night, Ying Tianfu actually caught a fire, burning many people to death. ”

Yao Guangqi frowned when he heard this, blinked and reminded Li Rou, and listened attentively.

At this time, the person at the table on the left said again: "I also heard that the fire suddenly rose up somehow, and it was so big that it burned down half of the yamen, and Ying Tianfu couldn't say why." ”

"How did I hear it was a ghost. Think about it, those corrupt officials of theirs know all day long that they have been abducted and deceived, and they don't do anything after receiving money, and the ghosts who have died unjustly haven't come back to settle accounts with them? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being heard, and catch you in."

"To say that there have been a lot of strange things recently, the night before yesterday, Zhao Quande, the inspector of Shandong, was killed at home, it is said that the homeless people rushed into the house to rob and commit murder, but the people in the family surnamed Zhao are fine, and he alone died. And the murderer has not been caught until now. Do you think it's weird? ”

"Could it be that someone wants to make money, pretends to be a homeless person, and hides after robbing money? Or maybe his enemies pretended to kill him. ”

"Who knows, but this Zhao Quande should be very rich, he was in Beiping as an envoy, how big the case in Beiping was two years ago, it is said that Li Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, was greedy for millions of silver, and finally committed suicide in fear of crime. He Zhao Quande and Li Yu are in Beiping, he is clean? Who knows how much silver he hacked in partnership with Li Yu, and he deserved to die. ”

Hearing someone mention Li Yu, Li Rou's lips trembled rapidly, and then her cheeks began to twitch. Yao Guangqi was afraid that Li Rou would not be able to control it, so he hurriedly held her hand and tried to calm her down.

At this time, the previous chess game started again, and the attention of the diners returned to the chess game, and the topic stopped.

Yao Guangqi saw that Li Rou's face was not good, hurriedly settled the account, went out to hire a car, took Li Rou back, and got into the car, Li Rou couldn't control it anymore, the corners of her eyes were red, and then two lines of tears were left, wetting her clothes. Yao Guangqi first held her hand tightly, and then took her into his arms, gently patting Li Rou's back to try to calm her breath.

When he returned to Wen'an Society, it was already past the time to hold the lamp, Yao Guangqi didn't care about eating, and directly ordered someone to find Xue Zhiqian. Then he closed the door and said to Li Rou very solemnly: "Today they mentioned your father, although I know that you are not in a good mood, but it does remind me of another person. ”

Li Rou opened her red and swollen eyes and asked, "Who?" ”

Yao Guangqi whispered two words: "Li Shu." ”

"Zha Beiping's case?" Li Rou was very impressed with Li Shu.

Yao Guangqi touched the back of his head and said: "The conversation of those people suddenly reminded me, I somehow thought of this person at that time, after that night, I always felt that the voice of that person was heard somewhere, but it never matched, today I think of that person, the voice of that mysterious person is very similar to Li Shu." ”

"But Kuri Shu is dead." Li Rou frowned.

Yao Guangqi said coldly: "It's that everyone thinks he's dead, so he's ignored, can't he fake his death?" ”

"It's a bit far-fetched to judge just by your voice, and if you have a preconceived idea, you'll frame your own thinking, and it's hard to come out of it."

Yao Guangqi shook his head: "It's not far-fetched, although that voice is a little hoarse than Li Shu's voice, but the tone and charm of the speech are still there, and more importantly, just on the way back, I assumed that Li Shu was not dead, and made inferences, and everything became reasonable." ”

He knew that Li Rou didn't understand, and then said: "Assuming that Li Shu faked his death, then he can calmly lay out in secret, and one of the goals of his layout is to take down Jiang Lian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, with Tanaka, control the Jinyi Guard, and master the most powerful force in the capital." Wen'an Society has long heard the gossip, and it is rumored in the alley that Li Shu may not be dead, but was protected by Tanaka Tong, this is actually someone deliberately put the wind, in order to confuse Li Shu's enemy, true or false, it is difficult for others to judge, and the person he wants to confuse is likely to be Zhao Quande. That night, I heard clearly outside the house that the man in Jinyiwei had said, 'I thought you were really dead.' And Li Shu's answer is that what you are worried about is not the plan, but the fact that you can't take the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard. In addition, it is said that Li Shu died suddenly at that time, and Jinyiwei immediately began to investigate, including Zhao Quande. If Li Shu is a fake death, and the person I followed that night, all this is easy to explain, Li Shu and Zhao Quande must have a deep and powerful relationship, and Li Shu faked his death, maybe to confuse Zhao Quande, or he was held by Zhao Quande, so he faked his death to buy time for himself, once he died, the handle in Zhao Quande's hand was invalid, and Li Shu could calmly lay out a counterattack against Zhao Quande, and there was a scene of homeless people breaking into Zhao Quande's house late at night to kill people. ”

Li Rou didn't speak, she kept twisting her eyebrows and listening. Yao Guangqi continued to deduce: "I think, so many people died in Ying Tianfu overnight, I speculate that they must all be errands related to Zhao Quande's case, they must have found something, it is likely to be the evidence that Zhao Quanyou and Li Shuli should cooperate with each other, and Li Shu or Zhao Quanyou had to kill them." After that, he looked at Li Rou and waited for Li Rou's answer.

Li Rou pondered for a long time before opening her mouth: "It generally makes sense, but I always feel that there is something wrong." I still don't think you should frame your mind. ”

Yao Guangqi added: "This Li Shu has an inexplicable relationship with Han Lin'er, and Han Lin'er has been sending people to collude with the Mongols in order to restore the country and take revenge, and he has also been in contact with the important ministers of the DPRK, this is the exact news that Tianchengzong's ears and eyes heard." ”

Li Rou objected, but she spoke slowly, as if she was thinking about it, and said, "This doesn't fully explain what happened to the Mongols that night." Have you ever thought that there is also a possibility that those people deliberately spoke Mongolian in order to prevent their words from being overheard. ”

Yao Guangqi was stunned, "It's not impossible, I'm done."

I don't know Mongolian, but ......"

Yao Guangqi was about to say when a soft knock on the door interrupted his train of thought, "Come in," he knew that this was Xue Zhiqian.

Unlike before, Xue Zhiqian's expression was serious as soon as he entered the door, and his speech was also depressed: "Something happened," and then a series of shocking things followed: "Last night, a fire broke out in the Yamen of Ying Tianfu, which burned many people to death, and all the officials and scribes in charge of investigating Zhao Quande's case in Ying Tianfu died in the fire. Today, in the afternoon, a small group of displaced people suddenly rebelled in the city, and even the criminal department and the household department yamen were also attacked, and those rebellious people set fire to several yamen. The bandits burned down the yamen, and by the way, even Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong and Feng Sheng Fu Youde and many of the big names also impacted, fortunately, those veterans have an iron book army, and those homeless people did not succeed, but the house of Guo Huan, the deputy envoy of Shandong, was robbed by the homeless, and the people of the Soldiers and Horses Division have confirmed that Guo Huan's whereabouts are unknown. ”

With so much news appearing at the same time, the startled Yao Guangqi stood up unconsciously, and he blurted out: "It's not right! ”

Li Rou and Xue Zhiqian looked at Yao Guangqi at the same time, only to see his rare anxiety, grabbing his head and pacing back and forth quickly, patting the back of his head from time to time, after a long time, he finally stood still, looked at Li Rou with a firm expression and said: "My assumption just now is right, Li Shu is not dead." That night he said that he had a whole plan, and this series of things must be part of his overall plan. ”

Li Rou was puzzled: "If he really did it, then this plan is too big, and he will do it to so many high-ranking officials and yamen in Beijing at the same time, and a few of them are still meritorious veterans, does he really want to rebel?" Even if he has a thousand men and incites the homeless, he can't make waves in the heavily garrisoned capital. ”

Yao Guangqi pursed his lips and shook his head: "The exiles are not the opponents of the Iron Book Army, let alone the opponents of the guards in Beijing, they must know very well that if they still do this, then this move must be a false move, a false move to confuse people in order to cover their real goal." ”

Li Rou muttered in a low voice: "The real goal? ”

Yao Guangqi smiled gloomily: "Yes, they are not fools, they won't do things that hit stones with eggs, and people with self-knowledge won't do things beyond their ability." Therefore, what is done is their real goal, one of their goals must be Guo Huan, they should not only know that Guo Huan's true identity is the deputy sect master of Leixian Sect, but also Guo Huan is likely to have their handle in his hands, so they must get rid of Guo Huan and use the homeless people as a cover, hehe, it is not the first time that the homeless people have made trouble in the past few days, what a clever layout. As for their other goal, I'm afraid it's a bureau for Tanaka's cloth. ”

"So what now? Wait and see? Xue Zhiqian has always believed in Yao Guangqi's wisdom, and after listening to Yao Guangqi's analysis, he felt that it was very reasonable.

Yao Guangqi raised his head and said a little tiredly: "First, there is no need to find the clues of the Mongols first, it is too troublesome to find, since the other party has made a move, we will follow their current line to catch it, especially recently, I am afraid that there will be a big change in Jinyiwei." Second, let your people secretly inquire about Guo Huan's whereabouts, Guo Huan's martial arts are extremely high, his scheming is deep, his whereabouts are unknown, he must have escaped, if you can find his traces, you may know some truth. Third, Ying Tianfu wanted to inquire clearly whether all the officials who investigated Zhao Quande's case had been burned to death. ”
