Zhu Xieyuan said to Zou Ruoyu: "The demon failed to assassinate this time, and he may not be willing to give up, you have to send more people to protect Sun Xun, and inform the other Yamen adults that they will all live in the Yamen from tomorrow until they catch Xu Chengming."

Zou Ruoyu nodded in response.

Zhu Xieyuan turned his face to Sun Yueling and said with concern: "Sun Xun, you have suffered several injuries, this mansion sees that your face is pale, if it is not early today, you should rest early, and continue to fight after recuperating from your injuries, you will leave this important matter of thieves for the time being." ”

Sun Yueling was very weak because of excessive blood loss, but his internal organs were not injured, and he was confident that he would recover as long as he breathed for a few days, and said busily: "My lord, Xia Guan just suffered a skin injury, it is nothing, as long as he rests for one night, he can continue to work tomorrow." ”

Zhu Xieyuan said: "Sun Xun's injury really doesn't matter? ”

Sun Yueling said: "It's okay, please rest assured." ”

Zhu Xieyuan was surprised: "This official has long heard that Sun Xun is practicing a good martial arts, and he is also serving as the head of the East Hall in the Jingshi Care Mansion, it seems that Sun Xun is really gifted, different from ordinary people!" ”

Sun Yueling said humbly: "My lord praised it falsely, Xiaguan's martial arts are nothing, as long as Xu Chengming is not caught for a day, Xiaguan will not dare to relax for a day." ”

Zhu Xieyuan sighed: "Sun Xunji is really loyal to the country and fulfills his duties, and this government will definitely play the court in the coming day, and praise Sun Xun's courage and selflessness." ”

After Zhu Xieyuan dealt with the matter here, and instructed Sun Yueling to pay more attention in the future, he took Zou Ruoyu and others towards the outside of the courtyard.

Sun Yueling looked at Zhu Xieyuan's back, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he remembered something, and shouted, "My lord, please stay." ”

Zhu Xieyuan turned his head and said, "Oh? What else is going on with Sun Xunpress? ”

Sun Yueling said: "Xia Guan remembers that the lord told me that day that after Xu Hongru in Shandong launched a rebellion, he sent his henchmen into Sichuan to find Xu Chengming, trying to get him to raise troops to respond? ”

Zhu Xieyuan was stunned for a while, and thought for a moment before saying, "Yes, there is indeed such a thing." He said to Zou Ruoyu, "This is the news you inquired about according to the judge, and you said to Sun Xun." ”

Zou Ruoyu thought for a moment and said, "This is still the news that our secret agents lurking in the White Lotus Sect inquired about at the end of last year. After Xu Hongru in Shandong raised troops, in order to reduce his own pressure, he sent liaison envoys to various places in an attempt to persuade the local White Lotus followers to raise troops and fight together. ”

Sun Yueling seemed to catch a little eyebrow, and asked: "The liaison envoy sent by Xu Hongru to Sichuan, do you know who it is?" ”

Zou Ruoyu shook his head and said, "This is not clear." ”

Sun Yueling's head shook suddenly, and he finally remembered where he had heard the assassin's voice, and let out a long breath of turbidity, and said: "As I expected, this liaison envoy must be the sword master who assassinated me, and only he will use Xu Hongru's unique skills to be like eight tribulations." ”

"Who is this person?" Zou Ruoyu looked solemn.

Sun Yueling said heavily: "This person's name should be Lin Chunwei." ”

Inside the south gate of Chengdu, in a noodle restaurant near Dashenmiao Street, two diners are eating according to the table.

One of them is in his thirties, wearing a good Shu brocade silk robe, looking quite rich, although this person's face is clear, but there is a faint majesty and awe-inspiring state between his eyebrows, and the other person is wearing a gray cloth robe with tight and narrow sleeves, his face is like a knife, and his complexion is dark, and he looks like the retinue of the noble son.

This is a very prosperous area in the city of Chengdu, with all kinds of shops lined up on both sides, and the streets are full of people coming and going. Although the two diners were eating noodles, their eyes occasionally glanced towards the door of a house opposite.

At this moment, the door of the house suddenly opened, and a tall man walked out of it and swaggered towards the south gate.

In the noodle shop, the person who looked like a nurse lowered his voice to the boy and said, "My lord, you came out, isn't he?" ”

The boy withdrew his gaze, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded at the nurse.

The nurse immediately gestured slightly to a man who was fiddling with things in front of the grocery stall outside the noodle shop, and the man understood, quickly got up and left the grocery stall, and followed the tall man.

Guijie Gongzi laughed and said, "Chengdu's noodles are delicious, they taste really good, shop, have another bowl!" ”

This person is Sun Yueling, and sitting next to him is Zou Ruoyu from the Inspectorate Division. This time, they came to this noodle shop inside the south gate to keep an eye on the man who had just walked out of the house opposite.

On the night Sun Yueling was assassinated, he suddenly remembered the thief with a Jiangnan accent who assassinated him, who seemed to be Lin Chunwei, a turtle slave who had a bad relationship with him in Nanjing Tianxiang Courtyard. But he didn't dare to be very sure, until he confirmed to Zou Ruoyu that Xu Hongru had sent a confidant to contact the envoy into Sichuan, and then guessed that this liaison envoy was Lin Chunwei.

When Mu Wan, the top brand of Nanjing Tianxiang Academy, was coerced into Beijing by the Smelling Fragrance Society, this Lin Chunwei had entered Beijing with the same way, and when Sun Yueling entered the lamp market at night and found that Mu Wan was privately obedient to Hou, Lin Chunwei also had a few tricks with him, and he was surprised that this Lin Chunwei had also learned kung fu.

After Wenxiang was expelled from the Jingshi, Sun Yueling had no news of Mu Wan and Xu Hongru and others.

Now that this demon who assassinated him actually used Xu Hongru's true eight tribulations, he must have learned it from Xu Hongru. After Xu Hongru left Beijing and launched a rebellion in Shandong, he sent a liaison envoy to Sichuan, presumably the demon who assassinated him that night was undoubtedly this liaison envoy. What's even more conclusive is that this demon's accent is very similar to Lin Chunwei of Tianxiangyuan back then.

Under the series of several events, Sun Yueling immediately realized that the person who assassinated him must be Lin Chunwei. Presumably, after Xu Hongru quit Beijing, he accepted Lin Chunwei as a disciple and taught him his own stunts, and this time he was sent to Sichuan to contact Xu Chengming to discuss the joint rebellion.

However, Xu Hongru's rebellion was quickly extinguished under the suppression of the Shandong government, and after the news reached Sichuan, Lin Chunwei's return to Shandong was no longer useful, so it is very likely that he had taken refuge in Xu Chengming and became a powerful disciple under him.

Many things were coherent, Sun Yueling felt that his guess must be inseparable, so with his memory, he told Lin Chunwei's figure and appearance to the officials who were good at painting according to the Inspectorate Department, and asked him to paint pictures and search for Lin Chunwei's whereabouts in the city.

In Sun Yueling's heart, since Lin Chunwei had been in Sichuan for half a year, it was very likely that he had purchased a house or rented a place in Chengdu, and since he was from a foreign country, he would definitely not hide his whereabouts like other backbone members of the White Lotus Sect, and it was very likely that he would walk around the streets without any scruples.

As expected, according to the judges' officials, with their drawings and graphics, they soon found Lin Chunwei's traces near a house in the south gate, and also found out that Lin Chunwei had disguised himself as a tourist who went to Sichuan to visit friends, named Du Tiansong. After Sun Yueling learned the news, he immediately rushed to confirm it with Zou Ruoyu, and when he saw it, he had no doubt that this person was really Xiaolinzi who had a festival with him in Tianxiangyuan back then.

Zou Ruoyu whispered while holding the noodles: "My lord, if you use a long line to catch a big fish with this trick, the demons will definitely not think of how they fell." ”

Sun Yueling smiled and said, "Xu Chengming, this is playing with fire, if he hadn't sent someone to assassinate me, we wouldn't have found any trace of them." At this time, most of the injuries he suffered that night had recovered, and the wounds had gradually recovered under the treatment of his Dark Luck Xuangong, and his movements had long been unaffected.

Zou Ruoyu hesitated: "Can you discover the lair of the demon secret society from this person?" ”

Sun Yueling said with a smile: "Lin Chunwei will definitely go to the secret nest of the White Lotus Sect to find Xu Chengming, you can rest assured of this." As soon as we discover the secret lair of the demons, we can catch them all. ”

Zou Ruoyu said with joy: "In this way, the southwest disaster can be gone." ”

Sun Yueling put down his chopsticks and said, "Let's go, go back to the yamen and wait for news." The two left the noodle shop and headed north.

After noon, the spies with Lin Chunwei returned to the governor's yamen and told Sun Yueling and Zou Ruoyu what they had discovered. It turned out that after Lin Chunwei went out of the south gate, he went to Qingyang Palace, five miles southwest of the city. After the spy who followed him into the Qingyang Palace, he lost Lin Chunwei's figure, but he pretended to be a tourist who watched the scenery and incense, and after inspecting the Qingyang Palace, he found a person suspected of being the head of the White Lotus Sect.

When the spy found out about the situation, he was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to stay for long, so he hurriedly came back to report to them.

Sun Yueling was overjoyed when he heard this, patted the soft chair made of Xiangfei bamboo, and said, "It seems that this group of demons is hiding in this Qingyang Palace." ”

Zou Ruoyu let out a breath and said fiercely: "Ge Laozi, no wonder we can't find any traces of this gang of thieves in the city, it turns out that they are all hiding in the Taoist temple outside the city, which is unimaginable." After a pause, he said to Sun Yueling, "My lord, what should I do next?" ”

An unfathomable smile appeared at the corner of Sun Yueling's mouth, and he said slowly: "It's very simple, catch turtles in the urn." ”

In the evening, Sun Yueling and Zou Ruoyu mobilized the officials in the yamen of the inspection and envoy department, together with the inspection and arrest of Chengdu Mansion and Huayang County, went out of the south gate, and rushed towards the direction of Qingyang Palace. After they learned the hiding place of the demons, they immediately reported to the governor Zhu Xieyuan and the envoy Lin Zaiyu, and sent capable spies to continue to lurk near the Qingyang Palace to monitor and prevent the demons inside from moving.

Thinking that the second problem mentioned by Zhu Xieyuan was about to be solved, Sun Yueling's heart was full of fighting spirit.
