Because Shen Mu fooled Hu Qigongzi again and embarked on the road to officialdom, at dinner, he was warmly welcomed by several elders of the Hu family.

Even if they knew that Shen Mu was Jinyiwei, the Hu family didn't show any unusual looks.

Thanks to the book treasure of Hu Qigongzi's little servant, this matter quickly spread throughout the Hu family's compound.

When Hu Qigongzi entertained Shen Mu to eat in the front yard, he met countless people from the Hu family along the way.

Shen Mu is relatively calm, but since the crossing, he has not entered the mansion of this kind of big family, all the way, although he pretended to be calm, he did not look around, but when he walked, it was like Sister Lin entering Jiafu, and he was careful everywhere.

At the dinner table, he had a little more scruples when he spoke, unlike when he faced Hu Qigongzi before, he was so flickering and impassioned.

This fell into the eyes of the Hu family, but they were a little more jealous of him.

Also, a new Ding who has not yet entered the Jinyi Guard, who looks less than twenty years old, can change the most difficult seventh prince of the Hu family, if this kind of person is encouraging the seventh prince to do something else, doesn't it make the family even more unbearable?

The Hu family is not stupid and sweet, on the contrary, families like theirs generally think far-reaching.

Shen Mu could also see something from the expressions of the Hu family, but he took a fancy to Hu Qigongzi himself, and he could accept the Hu family's various visions.

Generally speaking, he has no ill feelings towards the Hu family, probably because the Hu family is a scholarly family, the family style is still very good, although several sons who are about the same age as Shen Mu are also a little cautious, but there is no such extravagance that does not understand etiquette.

After Shen Mu enjoyed a dinner at Hu's house, it was already dark, and Hu Qigongzi seemed to be interested in inviting him to talk at night.

But now that he is an organized person, how can he stay overnight at will without reporting, he still has the proportions he should have.

immediately got up to say goodbye, saying that there would be time to meet again another day.

And said that even if he left Jixi County, the two could also exchange letters, and then they got out.

On the way back to the post house, he passed by the place where the lampstand was set up in the center of the street, and after a day's time, the platform was basically set up, and he was waiting for the lantern to be hung tomorrow.

Tonight, he didn't meet Rongzhi, but met the middle-aged master next to Rongzhi, who was leading someone to take care of the final finishing work.

After returning to the post house, Liang Baihu was drinking in his room with a wine jar, and he went in to make a brief report on everything he found today.

It aroused Liang Baihu's interest.

"You mean, through one of Hu Qi's paintings, you determined that the old beggar's son may have been wronged?"

"Eighty percent likely."

"Okay, then continue to investigate, let Ben Baihu see, what is going on with this poisoning case, and what role does this Rongzhi play in it?"

"Yes, please also transfer another person to find out the whereabouts of the second ruffian king."

"You go to Meng Yun for this, and ask him to transfer his spies to help you investigate."

"Thank you, sir."

Only then did Shen Mu realize that he originally only knew that Meng Yun was also a general banner and was the best at tracking, but he didn't expect that Meng Yun was the chief banner, and there were many people below, but he was really a light pole.

Without your own team, it's inconvenient to do anything in the future.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to raise the big tiger and kitten immediately.

You can't ask for someone in the name of Liang Baihu every time!

But then he suppressed his restless heart, and he had to eat the meal one bite at a time, and he couldn't choke.

Just when Shen Mu was about to go back to his room to rest, Liang Baihu called out to him again.

"By the way, do you remember the Meng family where your sister was kidnapped and hidden, the drunk old man who guarded the door?"

"Of course I remember, if you dare to hurt the kid's family, the kid will not easily forget. What did you find out? ”

The little sister of the Shen family is still asleep, even if Liang Baihu asks Imperial Doctor Zhang about the formula of the antidote, it will be delayed for a while on the way.

I don't know if I can prepare an antidote.

At this point, his eyes were black, he really had no clue, and he couldn't help much, and because he had been in Jixi County for the past two days, he only temporarily suppressed this worry in his heart.

At this time, hearing that Liang Baihu was guarding the door of the Meng family in advance, could it be that there was a new clue for the antidote?

"Regarding the identity of this old man, our Jinyi Wei has found out something.

Don't look at how drunk this drunk old man is now, but when he was young, he was a very famous horse thief leader on Saibei Road, and he specially attacked the merchants who went out of Saibei.

Later, he finally got into trouble with someone he shouldn't have messed with, was betrayed by his subordinates, and his family was killed.

The thief who kidnapped your sister and was caught in the casino is the nephew of a good brother whom this old man met on the road when he was young, he owed the good brother a favor when he was young, and this time the other party's nephew happened to come to the door, he didn't feel anything, thinking that the Meng family was not there, he wanted to take in the other party for a few days for a short time, but he didn't expect the other party to have another purpose. ”

Liang Baihu didn't sell it, and said bluntly.

"In this way, this drunken old man has nothing to do with the Maitreya Sect, but it is very likely that the son and nephew of his good brother have something to do with the Maitreya Sect?"

"Not necessarily, we all know that with the ability of Maitreya, it is easy to create a few fake identities, and most of the thieves who are caught are taking the identities of others!"

"That's what my lord said." In ancient times, there was no photographic technology, and many people recognized their relatives by virtue of the tokens and letters in their hands, which were the easiest to be used by those who had a heart.

But in his heart, he still hoped to verify the identity of the thief as soon as possible and trace the source of the poison, so he spoke again: "My lord, the more so, it means that our opponent cannot be underestimated, how did he know the identity of the drunken old man, and skillfully use the drunken old man's nostalgia, this is what deserves our attention." ”

"That's right, this point has already been thought of by the hundreds of households, and someone has been sent to investigate it carefully."

Not only that, but the kid also suggested that when the adults sent someone to track down the thief monk Tan Zhen, they should also pay more attention to the people around the thief monk.

The kid always feels that there is someone else around this thief monk Tan Zhen to give him advice, and with this person by Tan Zhen's side, we will be restrained step by step, passive everywhere, what we have to do now is to dig out this person too. ”

The reason why Shen Mu said this was because he thought of the jade pendant that was still in his possession, since he hadn't handed it over at the beginning, even if he learned that Liang Baihu had another relationship with Shen's father, it would be difficult to hand it over again.

That will cause more trouble, and when he is not tired of Daming, self-preservation will always come first.

Since this jade pendant was so important, he couldn't say it explicitly, so he could only secretly induce Liang Baihu to check in this direction.
