Nanping is located at the confluence of two rivers, waterlogging is frequent, and because of the dangerous terrain, merchant ships often detour, and the economy is relatively backward. In recent years, the imperial court allocated funds to build water conservancy in the upper reaches, and the waterways along the way were much more stable.

The name of the steward of Qinghe living here is Xu Wei, who is cautious and cautious, extremely capable, and can be regarded as a veteran figure of Qingheju. Wutong said that such a person who is always silent is the most likely to become the source of the disaster, and the evidence found recently seems to be to confirm this statement, no matter how many detours it takes, it can finally be pointed to Xu Wei. Even Cui Yan, who had just been cleaned up by Wutong, confessed that everything he did was Xu Wei's envoy under heavy punishment.

And more importantly, Wutong Feige passed a book, saying that a ghost gate token was found in Cui Yan's mansion.

In the past, most of the people who came forward to do things were Chu Jun or Wutong, and Ye Yu's identity was Qing and few people knew about it, and now one of the two of them was seriously injured, and the other was still on the way, Ye Yu was inconvenient to move alone, but the preparations that should be made still had to be done.

Lin Chen woke up late at night and saw a light coming in from the window, so he got up in his clothes, walked outside the night feather room, knocked on the door and got an answer before entering. Ye Yu, who was studying the map of Xu's Mansion, glanced up at Lin Chen, the collar of his slightly loose middle coat revealed the blue and black palm prints on his chest, which looked a little shocking.

"The man in the iron mask is not light, you better rest more."

Lin Chen reacted and pulled his shirt: "It's okay, don't worry." ”

"You may be mistaken." Ye Yu sat down and rubbed her temples, "I'm worried that you'll hold me back." ”

"I think I can drag you forward." Lin Chen raised his lips and stepped forward, looked at Ye Yu with his eyes, pointed to the map on the table and asked, "Can I see it?" ”

Night Feather was looking sleepy, and only raised her eyebrows in acquiescence.

Lin Chen turned the map upside down, glanced at it a few times, and then there was a wave at the end of his eyebrows. Ye Yu took in Lin Chen's expression, and suddenly became interested, leaned forward, and followed Lin Chen's fingers to look at them one by one. The more Lin Chen looked at it, the more strange her eyes became, but she couldn't see the clues.

"See what?"

Lin Chen didn't rush to answer, but first pointed out two places, and said slowly and clearly: "These two places have underground secret rooms. ”

This is truly a god.

Night Feather laughed briefly: "You won't be a Jianghu god, right?" ”

"The predecessor of the Xu Mansion was originally a merchant's mansion, and it was later sold because of the fall of the family." Seeing that Ye Yu listened with relish, Lin Chen sighed and said, "I came here with my master when I was very young, and my master was free and uninhibited, and when he saw that this place was still uninhabited, he borrowed it from me for a few nights, so I know the terrain." ”

"Then have you seen Xu Wei?"

"Xu Wei?" Lin Chen thought about it seriously, "I'm not impressed. ”

"This old fritter was still a young talent, a concubine of an official family, but the tree fell and scattered, and his father took the money away with his sister-in-law and ran away, leaving him penniless, thanks to his brain, which made him so beautiful now."

Lin Chen heard her tone mixed with a little banter, calculated the time and asked, "Don't say that you know how to recruit talents at that time?" ”

Night Feather rolled his eyes, this kind of hidden needle only made people feel itchy when it came out of his mouth. She is indeed not a human spirit, and her father contributed a lot when she established Qinghe Ju. He expected that something would happen in the future, so he bet everything he had to pave the way for her, and set up a chess game for her to win and not lose.

However, if she accepts the former, she must also take care of the latter.

Confusion, trouble.

Ye Yu didn't feel sleepy, so he pulled Lin Chen to sit next to her and read a book with her. Lin Chen was running around for days and was injured, and he quickly fell asleep with his head propped up in such a quiet environment. I don't know if it's an illusion, but she seems to see the color that represents fatigue under his eyes. In order to verify, she put down the book, tiptoed around to him, and as soon as she stood still, she realized that she was a little inexplicable, so she turned and closed the door and went out.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows with the hand holding his head, and smiled as if he was nothing.

On the second day, Ye Yu woke up the earliest, she often had palpitations and insomnia every day, and at first she took this disease seriously, and then she thought that insomnia did not have to dream, which was also good. She changed into a cyan shirt and made a bun with hosta loose, Long Ran said that her dress like this can make her look gentle and harmless, like a weak and unruly eldest lady in a scholarly family.

Nightfeather decided to believe her once.

Lin Chen's reaction when he saw her was the greatest, staring at her for a long time before he said slowly, "I thought someone was pretending to be you." ”

Night Feather glanced at him and motioned for him to follow, and the two entered the city together.

You don't have to deliberately find your way, you can go where there are many people, and sure enough, you can find a restaurant in the most crowded place. When the shopkeeper saw the two, he immediately greeted them, and without saying a word, he wanted to take them to the private room. Ye Yu grabbed him, raised her right hand, and held a jade plaque between her fingers, she turned to Lin Chen and said, "I'll teach you how to use this thing." ”

After speaking, she put the jade plate in the shopkeeper and said to him, "Give this to Mr. Xu, and he will understand." ”

The shopkeeper ran upstairs quickly, and it didn't take long for him to follow a middle-aged man with a slightly thin body and a wide mouth. The man arched his hand towards the two of them and said, "The distinguished guest is coming, and he is not welcomed." ”

Ye Yu showed a kind smile: "Mr. Xu is too polite. ”

Xu Wei no longer exchanged courtesies, and leaned sideways and said, "Night girl, please." ”

Ye Yu's smile deepened - even she knew who she was, and it seemed that in Changning, his people were staring at her.

On the second floor of the restaurant and the backyard, Xu Wei led the two to the place where he usually handles affairs, and ordered someone to serve tea before talking about business: "The girl came in person, I don't know what is important?" ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal," Ye Yu still raised his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, "There is something wrong with the business of the branch, and Wutong will deal with it personally." Because I had set a date with Mr. Xu to arrive in Nanping in advance, I was worried that Mr. Xu would not be able to wait for the left and right, so I made a big fuss and disturbed the Quartet, so I was sent to explain the situation to Mr. Xu. ”

"That's the case, I'm still right, is there something wrong on the road, the world has not been peaceful recently." Xu Wei looked worried, but only for a moment. Seeing Ye Yu smiling and silent, he asked lightly, "Is it convenient for the girl to reveal what kind of business it is, why is it so urgent?" ”

"If this is not closed, what kind of business can it be?" Ye Yu learned his tone, did not answer the question, and sure enough, he saw that the corners of Xu Wei's lips stiffened for a moment.

She glanced at Lin Chen, Lin Chen understood what she meant, and quietly picked up the teacup and shook his head invisibly.

- No problem, rest assured.
