"As the leader of a county, Qian Dahong dares to do such a rebellious thing that is indignant to people and gods!" Lin He's eyes widened, his sword eyebrows erected, and he was furious.

"There's something more unexpected than this-" Yu Huawen paused for a moment, didn't sell Guanzi, and continued: "Eighteen years ago, this Qian Dahong was like Zhen Si and Shen Qinglong, and he was an extremely vicious leader of the Qiantang water bandits! ”

Lin He felt that he had heard more strange things today than in the past combined, and he was once a water bandit who killed people and overstepped goods?

"My lord, this ...... How is this possible? Did Sun Tu tell you? ”

Yu Huawen was noncommittal, and briefly said Sun Tu's words.

Lin He's thick sword eyebrows were frowned together, and between the eyebrows, three vertical lines loomed.

"My lord, it turned out that he only said that Shen Qinglong was a bandit, who would have thought that he was actually a bandit! So what do we do now? ”

Yu Huawen said seriously: "Until evidence is found, Shen Qinglong and Zhen Si cannot be moved for the time being." In a few days, you escort a few thieves in the prison to the outside to parade through the streets, and arrange an opportunity for Sun Tu to escape. Remember, let him suffer a little in the pursuit, but not break his bones. ”

Lin He immediately understood what Yu Huawen meant, and hurriedly said: "My lord is thoughtful, and my subordinates will make arrangements tomorrow." ”

"It's just a matter of calculating." Yu Huawen waved his hand, and continued: "But the most important thing at the moment is to investigate the assassination of Wu Xing. ”

Lin He lowered his head and said "um", "My lord, we just said that we would interrogate Wu Xing the day before yesterday, and today he was stabbed to death in a cell, and this matter should be inseparable from the Linjiang Marquis Mansion." ”

Yu Huawen stopped, stood in an open place, stroked the three-inch beard on his chin, and said: "Wu Xing's death, Linjiang Hou is the one who benefited the most, and indeed he is the most suspicious, so you can follow this line of thought first." ”

Lin He touched his chin, leaned into Yu Huawen's ear, and whispered: "My lord, I will sneak into the Linjiang Marquis Mansion tomorrow night to explore and see if I can find anything." ”

Yu Huawen nodded, and said with concern: "Chang Geng, although this Linjiang Hou Mansion is not a Longtan Tiger's Den, but after all, it is a Houmen as deep as the sea, and a group of evil slaves are guarding the house, you must be careful, if there is anything abnormal, exit immediately, and do not rashly enter......"

"Please rest assured, I will be careful." Lin He knew that Yu Huawen was worried about his safety, and his heart warmed slightly.

Yu Huawen gently patted Lin He's shoulder and said "um".

……

On the official road leading to Qiantang, there is an endless stream of hawkers carrying carts, merchants driving horse-drawn carts, farmers leading cattle and sheep, and citizens shopping in idleness.

At the end of the official road, two jujube red horses rushed in the distance, and a gust of wind galloped, and they appeared among everyone in an instant.

"Whew-" The man on the horse tugged at the reins, and the horse's front hooves jumped up and neighed.

Both men were dressed in horseback riding costumes and carried broadswords wrapped in black cloth behind their backs. One of them was a woman in white, she was about eighteen or nine years old, handsome, with creamy skin, large and bright eyes, a high nose, a small cherry mouth, a pair of willow eyebrows on her forehead slightly frowned, and a majestic face, and a heroic posture.

Another man was dressed in black silk, his face was like a crown of jade, his body was dignified, and the jade tree was in the wind. He saw the woman in white in front of him suddenly pulling the galloping horse, looked at her with some confusion, and asked, "Senior sister, why did you stop the horse?" ”

The woman in white turned around and responded, "Senior Brother Tiger, there are many people here, and if the horse is too fast, it will inevitably collide with pedestrians." What's more, Qiantang County is already close at hand, and there is no hurry to do so. ”

The man in black nodded and said, "What Senior Sister said is extremely true. ”

The two rode slowly for a while, and the man in black rode his horse to catch up, and said, "Senior sister, you said that this time it was just a seven-rank county order that died, why did you send our people from Mingtang?" ”

The woman in white replied, "The Qipin County Order is not a petty official anymore. What's more, it is Lang Lang, there is no king's law, killing officials and throwing corpses, there is nothing to fear, where does this care about the face of the court? If the murderer cannot be found, where is the majesty of the court, if the thieves follow suit, and everyone who is an official is in danger, how can they govern the country and the people with peace of mind? ”

"Yes." The man in black nodded thoughtfully.

The two had a ride, chatted without a pair, and after a while, they rushed to Qiantang County.

The woman turned over and dismounted, and said to the man, "Senior Brother Tiger, let's find an inn to live in first." ”

"Don't you go to Qiantang County?" The man was stunned again.

The woman in white shook her head, "There are many people in the county office, so we shouldn't show up for the time being, and we will do some external investigation first." ”

The two found an inn, and after packing up their things, the woman in white walked out of her guest room and said to the man in black: "Senior Brother Tiger, I am going to visit Her Royal Highness Princess Yinglan at Chongqi Academy in a while, will you go?" ”

The fact that Princess Yinglan went out to study without permission is already an open secret in Jiankang's scholar circle, but as the princess's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Chongde didn't say anything, and the others naturally didn't talk much, at most it was used as a conversation after dinner.

Hearing the words of the junior sister, the man in black seemed to think of something, frowned and said, "The junior sister and the princess have a very good personal relationship, so it is natural for me to visit." But Her Royal Highness the princess is studying in seclusion here, so I can't bother her. Otherwise, if the princess blames her, I'm afraid I'll have to be reprimanded again. ”

Thinking of Ying Lan's moody character, the man in black couldn't help but stick out his tongue, smiled bitterly, and shook his head.

In the morning, the sun is shining, and in the city of Qiantang County, people rushing to the market are rubbing shoulders one after another, and there is a lot of traffic everywhere, the sound of selling, and the sound of bargaining are endless.

The woman in white walked out of the inn, looked around, and then entered the street, disappearing into the crowd in an instant.

A quarter of an hour later, a woman dressed in white appeared in an antique shop full of calligraphy and paintings.

The owner of the antique shop hurriedly greeted him, with a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "What does the girl want?" ”

"I want the Celestial Dragon Bottle." The woman in white replied lightly.

The boss's eyes flashed, and he continued to ask quietly, "How many inches does the girl need?" ”

"Nine feet nine inches."

"What's on the dragon bottle?"

"Three-foot Yellow Dragon, Big Dipper, Crape Myrtle Soaring to the Sky."

The boss hurriedly stretched out his head to look at the door of the store, turned around and said, "Girl, please, please come with me." ”

After speaking, Xiang Xiao Er glanced at him and said, "Take care of business here!" After speaking, he walked to the back hall with the woman in white.

The woman in white followed into the side hall of the back hall and came to a wood-plank wall. The boss looked around and pressed a spot on the wooden wall, and a board bounced off.

The boss arched his hand and whispered: "My lord, please take care of yourself, there are people below." ”

The woman in white nodded, and walked quickly into the dark passage.

The plank snapped shut, as if it had never been opened.
