Li Mingxiu also stopped at the point and did not say anything, Qin Baichuan wanted to ask again but heard the sound of quarreling in the distance, but it was Luo Yuan who went and returned after learning that Qin Baichuan was assassinated, and had a little conflict with the guards guarding here. Li Mingxiu waved his hand, and after the guards let him go, Luo Yuan ran over with his little feet, and after seeing the blood stains on the ground and Qin Baichuan's swollen wrist, Luo Yuan almost fainted on the spot.

"Bastard Qin, I ......" Luo Yuan's mouth opened, and he wanted to say something but closed his mouth full of self-reproach. In Luo Yuan's mind, if he hadn't quarreled with Qin Baichuan, he would never have chased him out, and if he hadn't chased him, the following things might not have happened.

Qin Baichuan smiled at her with relief, Luo Yuan had mixed feelings in her heart, and when she turned her head to look at Li Mingxiu, there was a cold anger on her face: "Deputy Gang Leader Li, Minister Qin and I were invited to visit Qunfangtang, but this kind of thing happened, if the coastal army doesn't give an explanation to Splendid Villa, don't blame Luo Yuanxue for scolding the street shrew, go and ask Desheng Gong for an explanation!" ”

"Steward Luo is a little restless, I'll go investigate, there will be results before sunset." Although the Splendid Villa is only a merchant force, if the assassination of people in Qunfangtang spreads, there will be no light on the face of the coastal army. There is no need for Luo Yuan to blame too much, after Li Mingxiu said a few words of relief, he left decisively with a gloomy face, Qin Baichuan also planned to leave this place of right and wrong, but someone dared to assassinate in Qunfangtang, no matter who the target of the assassination was, before the matter was clarified, the person concerned had to stay and cooperate with the investigation. After a while, Qunfangtang nearly doubled its manpower, and there was a tendency to rain in the mountains.

"Bastard Qin, you...... Does it still hurt? In the guest room, Luo Yuan looked at Qin Baichuan's bandaged wrist, where did he remember the previous conflict with him, and his eyebrows flashed with self-blame and distress.

"It's fine, it's all minor injuries." Qin Baichuan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Steward Luo, are you still angry with me?" ”

"Of course I'm angry, I'm almost mad at you, but now is not the time to say this." Luo Yuan's expression was quite complicated, and she was furious when she thought that this guy would be entangled with Cheng Yanran and Xue Shihan within a few days of coming: "You just don't make people worry, when you come, I will give you orders and ask you to be careful, but you are good...... Hmph, if you want me to see, the person who came to kill you is Cheng Yanran's admirer. ”

"It's possible, it's unlikely." Speaking from the heart, Luo Yuan's inference is not unreasonable, there is a mysterious force behind Cheng Yanran, if you want to cause the confrontation between the Splendid Villa and the coastal army by killing yourself, this reason is indeed valid.

"What do you mean by possible and unlikely? I see that you were blinded by Cheng Yanran's kind of fox, so you lost your judgment! Luo Yuan bit her lip: "Can you let people save some snacks?" Messing around outside, I just let me know again, from the perspective of Quxi's good friend, what do you want me to do? ”

"Eh, Chief Steward Luo, just now you said that now is not the time to talk about this, why did you bring up this topic again?" Talking and digressing again, Qin Baichuan was a little broken.

"Hmph, it's not all you, if you honestly do things with me, where did you get this murderous disaster?" Luo Yuan stomped her foot fiercely, obviously believing that the whole thing was caused by Cheng Yan.

"It's all just your guess right now, and it's not for sure. If it was really Cheng Yanran's back, I would have set fire to her sea breeze painting boat. Qin Baichuan sneered, as he said to Li Desheng, whoever wants his Qin Baichuan's life, no matter what he comes from, tear off a piece of his flesh first.

Qin Baichuan was ruthless, Luo Yuan felt a lot better, only to hear Qin Baichuan say again: "Do you know why I didn't ask Li Desheng about Chen Heming?" ”

"Why?" Luo Yuan has been struggling with this problem, and the quarrel with Qin Baichuan is also a flashpoint.

"Because there were so many people at the time, it wasn't the right time to speak." Qin Baichuan sighed and said: "I met Cheng Yanran not as you thought, in fact, Cheng Yanran expressed such a meaning to me, Li Desheng of the coastal army can not care about the little profit brought by the post carriage, but can you guarantee that his subordinates will not do it secretly?" ”

"This ......" Luo Kite was slightly stunned.

"Let's make such an assumption, if it is a few hall masters under Duke Desheng who did this without concealing Duke Desheng, I asked on the spot, no matter what kind of plan is formulated, it will be leaked out, if Chen Heming is already dead and there is no proof of it, if he is still alive, wouldn't he be killed and destroyed?" Qin Baichuan smiled bitterly: "I deliberately said that chatting with Desheng Gong was to test him, and Desheng Gong's reaction was even more intriguing, Heihu Mountain cut off business contacts with the coastal army, which is enough to prove that the coastal army is having a hard time now." Since it's not good, do you have to think of other ways to 'generate income'? ”

"Like...... There is some truth, but these are just your guesses. Luo Yuan groaned, nodded, and shook her head again.

"It's really all my guess, I'll take 10,000 steps back and say, if I asked at the time, no matter what kind of answer Li Desheng gave or what he did, it was a fair deal with us in the face of "Waves Crashing on the Shore", and no one owed anyone afterwards." Qin Baichuan said with a smile: "If we only get this little benefit, then we will lose a lot of Lu Shigao's painting......

"Are you going to put a long line, catch big fish, maintain a friend relationship with Li Desheng, and then really expand the business of Splendid Villa to Dongying as you said?" Luo Yuan is not a fool, after Qin Baichuan tapped it slightly, he understood.

"I didn't think that far ahead, I just felt that I finally got through Li Desheng's relationship and made him owe us a favor, so we can't just pay it back so lightly." Qin Baichuan smiled a little embarrassedly: "To put it bluntly, I think it's still a loss to exchange "Waves Crashing on the Shore" for Chen Heming's small life." ”

"You ......" Luo Yuan took a step back and looked at Qin Baichuan in a daze: "Since ancient times, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention that Chen Heming is your person...... I know you're thinking about Fairview Villa, but I want to ask you, if it's me who is missing, do you want to do the same? ”

"The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it?" Capturing the sourness in the corners of Luo Yuan's eyes, Qin Baichuan licked his lips and smiled: "If this kind of thing happens to Luo Daguan, let alone a painting of "Waves Crashing on the Shore", even if I go bankrupt, I will know your whereabouts as soon as possible." ”

"That's nice." Luo Yuan's mood was instantly cheerful, and he glanced at Qin Baichuan: "Are you still bankrupt...... I'm afraid that you won't be able to earn a piece of silver for "Waves Crashing on the Shore" in your lifetime in Fairview Villa...... Hey, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you know Lu Shigao? ”

"The old man was idle and painting on the beach, and it happened that I passed by, and then I got wet with him, and the old man thought I was talented, so he gave it to me." Qin Baichuan said lightly, and said indifferently: "At that time, some people had bad intentions and wanted to kill people and seize treasures, and I was afraid of causing trouble to the Splendid Villa, so I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and gave them to Desheng Gong." ”

"Kill two birds with one stone." Luo Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, although this guy can sometimes be half angry with himself, but he is not ambiguous in doing things, if she had known this, she wouldn't have to think about it all day long.

"You get it now, right?" The misunderstanding was solved, and Qin Baichuan's tone was also a lot more relaxed.

"Even if what you say about this matter is reasonable, I will still go to Quxi to complain." Luo Yuan pouted seriously.

"Whatever, let's be manly, dare to act." Qin Baichuan laughed three times, not caring at all.

Luo Yuan wanted to say more, but heard hurried footsteps at the door: "Manager Luo, Minister Qin, the assassination of Qunfangtang has already been resolved, and Duke Desheng invites you to come over." ”

"So fast?" Qin Baichuan was a little surprised, and Luo Yuan's face also changed and changed, and he stood up nervously.

Under the leadership of the guide Ding, Qin Baichuan and Luo Yuan came to the hall where they met Li Desheng in the morning, and the hall masters of the surrounding coastal army stood on both sides with solemn faces, Li Desheng sat behind the table and sank like water, waiting for Qin Baichuan to come in and speak first: "Manager Luo, Minister Qin, this kind of thing happened in Qunfang Hall, which frightened the two of them, and Li is here to make amends." ”

"Desheng Gong is polite, Qin will only make others 'frightened'." Qin Baichuan's right hand was swollen and inconvenient to clench his fist, he bowed and smiled slightly, and his voice was full of obscenity.

Li Desheng didn't have any smile on his face, and reprimanded sharply: "Mingxiu, you tell Minister Qin the ins and outs of the matter." ”

"Yes!" Li Mingxiu, who was at the head of the group, agreed, and sighed: "Minister Qin, we have investigated the matter clearly...... The person who committed the murder in Qunfangtang came from a mysterious force, known as the Snake Group in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Snake Group." Qin Baichuan was a little unfamiliar with this organization, he didn't know that when the fourth master Qu took people to kill him and was rescued by Wufu, Wuyin, and Monkey on the way, the killers he used came from the snake group.

"Yes, this organization is extremely mysterious, the Qiushan Army, the Coastal Army, and even the three forces of Black Tiger Mountain can't investigate the specific origin of the organization." Li Mingxiu shook his head and continued: "We found a silver medal on the killer, which proved his identity...... I didn't expect that there would be an eyeliner of the snake group in the coastal army. ”

"What do you mean?" Luo Kite asked.

"After our investigation, the housekeeper in Qunfang Hall was bought by the snake group three years ago, and has been lurking in the dark all these years. It is said that the snake group carried out the mission of assassinating Minister Qin a long time ago, but somehow failed, but the mission was never canceled. Li Mingxiu looked at Qin Baichuan and said, "This time, I learned that Minister Qin came to Anyang, and the snake group took the initiative to contact the employer and carried out this assassination. The method used by the killer is also very simple, with the help of the director of the family, he infiltrates the Qunfangtang, and the director of the family takes the person away, giving the killer a chance to ......"

"Who's the employer?" Qin Baichuan interrupted Li Mingxiu's words.

"Minister Qin really wants to know?" Li Mingxiu's eyes were a little deep, and after Qin Baichuan nodded, Li Mingxiu sighed and said, "There are two employers, you know both ......"

"Xiao Yu, Fourth Master Qu." Qin Baichuan looked directly at Li Mingxiu and said softly.

The company held a year-end summary meeting, and I was out on a business trip for the past three days, which was troublesome.
