"Yo, the fourteenth is here, sit down, have a drink, warm up first!"

The winter sky gets dark early, it's only three minutes of the unitary hour, the sky is completely dark, the north wind is howling, the second snow of this winter is falling again, it is really cold, the eight masters and others who have just returned from the criminal department for a while are all gathered in the Xinuan Pavilion, while using wine and food, while having a ride and no match, just when they are drunk, Leng Buding heard the dull footsteps on the floor, and everyone's eyes were swept over at once, Even when he saw the old fourteen with a gloomy face, his head was full of snowflakes, no matter how he looked at it, he looked embarrassed, but the ninth master reacted quickly, and greeted him with a smile.

"Hmm."

The old fourteenth was obviously not in a very good mood, and he didn't say too much about the warm greeting of the ninth master, he just said in a dull voice, walked to the vacant seat let out by the tenth master, lifted the hem of the robe, sat down heavily, wiped the snow on his head and face, and threw his hand on the ground fiercely, and then looked at the eighth master who was smiling and silent with a solemn face, shook his hand, took out a letter from the wide sleeve, handed it to the eighth master, and said in a low voice: "Before the little brother comes, Hongqing's kid sent a letter, starling, let's take a look at it first. ”

"That's it? Is there anything else that you have to say? ”

There were only four words in the letter, and the eighth master had read it at a glance, but he was not in a hurry to make a conclusion, but after pondering for a while, he asked cautiously.

"It's gone."

Lao Fourteen had actually guessed the implied meaning of these four words a long time ago, but he didn't want to say it, but wisely put the decision in the hands of the eighth master.

"Look at this ......, sir"

The eighth master nodded thoughtfully, and did not ask any further, but casually handed the letter to Lu Chunyan, who was sitting on the side, and asked half of the words tentatively.

"Well, it seems that the guy is planning to make a deal with Sun Miao and his people with the eighth master, in exchange for Mu Ning and the others who he visited not long ago, the time is set for tonight, as for the negotiator, it must be the fourteenth master."

As one of the wise men in the world, Lu Chunyan was an extraordinary person, and after just one glance, he had already seen through the meaning of this letter, and there was nothing to hide, so he said it bluntly.

"Sun Miao? That's not ......, well, how did that little bastard find this person? It's not good, damn it, starling, the little brother will go and arrange for people to destroy the clues first! ”

Although Lao Shi's temperament is the roughest, his reaction is obviously a lot slower than that of everyone, the eighth master and the others fell silent, but the tenth master suddenly woke up, his face changed, Huo Ran got up, and he was about to run out.

"Old ten, sit down, panic, everything has its own starling brother, you ran away like this, didn't you fall into that little child's trap!"

Seeing that the old ten behaved at a loss, the eighth master's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, but he didn't say anything to stop drinking, but the ninth master couldn't stand it, and he was very annoyed and scolded the old eleven.

"Brother Jiu, since that guy has caught Sun Miao, if Shun Teng touches the general, then ......"

Although the old ten people stood up, they did not return to their original positions, but refuted with a stinky face.

"The tenth brother doesn't have to think about it, since that kid dares to use Sun Miao as a bargaining chip, he has already controlled the relevant people in his hands, if the tenth brother really makes a random move, he will fall into his arms, and now the matter is to discuss a way of exchange."

Among the people here, it is the old fourteen who has the most dealings with Hongqing, and the one who understands Hongqing's personality the most.

"Well, the fourteenth master's words are to the point, Qing Belle didn't start it early, he didn't start it late, but he came to do it after visiting Mu Ning, all he wanted was to tell me and others, what he wanted was Mu Ning and others, so he might as well deal with him."

Lu Chunyan glanced at the Fourteenth Master meaningfully, took over the topic, and explained the reasons in detail, obviously not wanting to give the old Fourteen a chance to play further.

"Well, I'm afraid things are not so simple, although that kid is small, but his mind has always been not small, this time he took Sun Miao, I'm afraid that it is not a Mu Ning who can get it back, does Mr. have any good plans for this?"

As soon as Lu Chunyan explained this, the ninth master and the tenth master all looked relieved, but the eighth master did not relax like this, his brows were a little tighter, and after a little silence, he asked worriedly.

"The eighth master doesn't need to worry too much, since Qing Belle is willing to trade, it means that he doesn't plan to do things to a dead end, and he doesn't want to see the fourth master become a thing, with this premise, there is no trader, you might as well test it first, and it's not too late to discuss everything after the fourteenth master meets with him."

Lu Chunyan obviously saw farther than the eighth master, and in just a few words, he had already broken through Hongqing's calculations.

"Yes, what Mr. said is very true, if that kid really wants to pit me and wait, there is no need to write to negotiate with us, and directly send Sun Miao to the fourth brother, I will wait for a while and a half and I really can't be able to think it through, since he wants to trade, let the fourteenth brother go on a journey."

The ninth master has the most detailed thoughts, and his reaction is fast, as soon as he heard what Lu Chunyan said, he immediately clapped his hands and shouted.

"Grandma's bear, and that little bastard is cheap again, bad luck!"

The tenth master also understood what Lu Chunyan meant, but when he thought that the hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land on the other side of Henan had no chance to stretch out his hand, he was inevitably unwilling in his heart, and scolded with a black face.

"Okay, then ask the fourteenth brother to go on a trip, well, and see what he wants, and everything will be decided later."

The eighth master knew that the tenth master was lamenting something, but he didn't pay attention to it, so when it was life and death, how could he talk about the silver, so he nodded solemnly, and said to the old fourteen with a cautious expression.

"Starling don't worry, the little brother knows what to do."

Although he has not yet eaten, but at this time the old fourteen has no appetite at all, this listening to the eighth master's orders, he did not shirk, stood up, and answered cautiously, and then turned around, did not look back and went downstairs, leading a group of guards to rush in the direction of Prince Cheng's mansion in the snow......

Two flowers bloom, one branch each, not to mention that the eighth master is planning endlessly, the third master's mansion is also discussing things, of course, compared to the eighth master's expression, the third master is basically Hongqing is talking about the latest progress of the matter, but the words are obviously quite reserved, not only did not explain the existence of the "Sharp Knife Gang", nor did he directly give a way to deal with it, just deduced that Li Minxing found the help of the masters of the rivers and lakes, and happened to catch Sun Miao, a key person who had been on the run for many days, and planned to make some deals with the eighth master. Please make it clear to the third master.

"Well, I'm afraid it's not good for Qing'er to have this idea, but, well, what if Sun Miao is handed over to the fourth child?"

At the beginning of this calculation, the third master also agreed to take advantage of the chaos to exchange Mu Ning as the foundation to ensure that the matter of governing the river can be unhindered, but with the progress of the incident, the third master has the idea of taking the opportunity to defeat the eighth master in one fell swoop, but it is not easy to say such words that go back on his word, so these days, the third master has never expressed his position on the matter of clearing the criminal department, and now, the exchange is imminent, but the third master has to say it, so he groaned and put forward a different kind of plan.

Gotcha, Dad, Dad, you want to be crooked again, don't you? What kind of moth is it that is good and decent, it is clear that the eighth master is already a dead dog, you still run up and stomp on a few feet, there is no land to cheapen the fourth child, but also make the old man jealous in his heart, why bother?

Hongqing is a shrewd individual, although the third master said vaguely, but Hongqing knew where the third master's mind was when he heard it, it was nothing more than being afraid that the eighth master was powerful, and wanted to use this case to defeat the eighth master in one fell swoop, this kind of idea is really a little ignorant, at least in Hongqing's opinion, but as a son of man, the words of refutation are not easy to say, helpless, Hongqing can only turn his eyes for help to the old master Chen who is sitting opposite.

"Put the cart before the horse!"

Old Master Chen is the identity of the master, so he doesn't have to save too much face for the third master, and when he received Hongqing's call for help, he immediately unceremoniously gave the third master a slap in the face.

"This ......, hehe, the master has to teach him a lesson, Xiao Wang just said it casually."

was commented on by the old master, even if the third master's old face was red, although he was still unwilling in his heart, he was not embarrassed to continue the previous topic, so he could only admit his mistake with a wry smile.

"The prince really thinks that just with such a small person as Sun Miao, he can completely bring down the eighth master, hmph, there is no need for more, just a strong man with a broken wrist is enough to crack more than enough, the reason why the eighth master is delayed is nothing more than waiting to reach a tacit agreement with the prince, so as to minimize the loss, if it is really urgent, it is not necessarily a good thing."

Old Master Chen understood the third master's personality in his bones, and at a glance, he knew that the third master had not completely given up the idea of destroying the eighth master in one fell swoop, so he snorted coldly and briefly analyzed the situation.

"What the master said is very true, and Xiao Wang knows what to do."

The third master is used to being trained by the old master Chen, but he will not have any psychological burden because of this, this old master said this, just thinking about it, he has understood the key to the matter, but he no longer sticks to his own opinion, but sincerely admits his mistake again.

Seeing that the third master finally realized the infeasibility of the proposal, Hongqing's hanging heart also fell to the ground, and just when he wanted to take Sun Miao's matter again, he saw Gao Dacheng, the chief eunuch of the palace, hurriedly turned out from behind the screen, and the words in his mouth immediately stopped.
