At the same time, inside the Taishi's Mansion.

Zhao Wuyuan brought a copy of the information of the household officials and gave it to Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Zhao Wuyuan had read these materials early in the morning, and now that Cheng Qing was reading them, he stole this free time to see Cheng Qing.

She wore a blue embroidered butterfly dress today, with a transparent pure white gauze on her head, a simple bun on her head, three thousand green silk hanging in half, and two kinds of velvet flowers in her hair, blue and white, looked like Zhao Ningbai's shadow was in it, and it should be the little girl hairpin for her.

This outfit makes her look a little cold, but it accentuates her delicate and good-looking.

In this way, she has a kind of beauty that penetrates deep into the soul and is breathtaking, especially her star-like eyes, like the light in the night, and with some mysterious feeling.

It's like ......

Just as he was thinking nonsense, Cheng Qing said loudly: "Yes, Chen Gong has." Before he became a household servant, he served as the prefect of Shuinan City in Yizhou for five years. ”

Zhao Wuyuan came back to his senses, thought for a while, and asked, "Is there anything related to this?" ”

"Of course it's related, I remember that Bai Xiuyuan said that the main altar of the Underworld Sect is in Shuinan City." Cheng Qingdao.

"Did he say it? When did he say that? Zhao Wuyuan's tone unconsciously carried a little jealousy.

Cheng Qing didn't hear it, thinking that he had forgotten, and said casually: "When we were talking here yesterday afternoon, he said it. ”

"You remember what he said, but what about what I said?" Zhao Wuyuan muttered.

"What did you say?" Cheng Qing asked, she flipped through the data record again, and didn't hear what he said clearly.

Zhao Wuyuan looked at her, sighed helplessly, and said, "Even if he was a prefect there, he can't prove that he has something to do with those cults." ”

Cheng Qing looked up at him and said, "When he was the prefect, he had outstanding political achievements, and two or three big cases were solved every month, and there were many small cases. After being promoted to Anping, he was not a household servant at the beginning, but the prefect of Anping, responsible for the large and small cases in the capital. At first, he was also diligent, but later misjudged a case, and was doubted by the emperor about his ability, fined him for three months, and demoted to work as a waiter in the household department. ”

"After he became a squire, it was as if he had lost his fighting spirit overnight, doing what he should have done in the household department, not doing more, not doing more, and gradually becoming obscure, drowning in the hundreds of officials, inconspicuous."

"On the surface, there were no problems, and he handled both the smugness and the frustration well. But that's exactly what makes people the most suspicious. Just imagine, if it were you, who had struggled for so many years, and then lost once, was demoted a little, and had not been demoted out of Anping, would you want to work hard again and sit in a higher position? ”

Zhao Wuyuan understood, nodded and said, "Looking at it this way, he is indeed very suspicious. ”

Cheng Qing said with some worry: "Now I can only watch Bai Xiuyuan, I hope he is okay and can successfully catch the people behind the scenes." ”

She hadn't had time to talk to him about this matter, but let him follow someone first based on his own observation and judgment.

She couldn't tell who he was following now.

……

In the dark passage, Bai Xiuyuan looked around.

The tunnel looked to have been built for a few years, the walls were made of white stone slabs, and the floor was paved with stone slabs, which was wide enough to accommodate the next carriage.

With such a wide area, it is very convenient to transport money and other things.

There are lights on the walls that illuminate all the places here.

The passages lead in all directions, and I don't know where they lead?

None of this matters now, what matters is tracking people.

Fortunately, there is a unique mental method taught by the master, and the sound can be clearly heard within a radius of 100 zhang in one luck.

Bai Xiuyuan used his internal strength, closed his eyes and listened to all the sounds in the passage.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the entrance to the left of the passage.

There was a faint voice of speech coming from there, it must have been there.

Bai Xiuyuan ran over quickly.

Deep in the passage, two men were talking.

“…… The one who should be transferred has been transferred, you must be careful here, if you are discovered, no one will be able to protect you. ”

"You don't have to say it that serious, do you? The group of people outside are all simple-minded and well-limbed, and they will never catch me. ”

"What do you know? They have well-developed limbs and simple minds, can Bai Xiuyuan be simple? He used to be Cheng Yue's think tank, which should not be underestimated. ”

"Cut, I think you're blowing him too high, and I think he's just that. It's just a powerless little white face, he and Cheng Yue, maybe there is a relationship. ”

"This ...... Anyway, I should have reminded you, I have already reminded you, if you want to listen, just listen, if you don't listen, forget it. The Dharma Protector Missionary directs that you can act. ”

"Action what? Why don't you say it and let me hear it. ”

Bai Xiuyuan, who listened for a while, walked out from the corner, dressed in white fluttering, like an immortal, and deserved to be peerless.

The two of them were startled by him, and when they fixed their eyes on him, one breathed a sigh of relief, and the other tensed up.

Bai Xiuyuan looked at Chen Gongyou, who was relieved, hooked his lips coldly, and said, "Lord Chen, you really look down on you." ”

Chen Gongyou looked at him contemptuously, his face with a handful of goatee was full of provocation, "What's wrong with me looking down on you?"

"He's Bai Xiuyuan?" Another middle-aged man, who looked decent but was full of evil spirits, asked.

"Not bad." Chen Gongyou said lightly.

Bai Xiuyuan looked at the man who was looking at him vigilantly and said, "You are much stronger than your accomplices, but you still have to stay." ”

"Just you?" Chen Gongyou said contemptuously.

"It's up to me."

"It's just Cheng Yue's male pet, and if you want to stay, you will stay."

Bai Xiuyuan pulled out the soft sword at his waist, his eyes were cold, and he shouted: "Those who insult the marshal, die!" ”

Chen Gongyou drew his sword and shook the sword flower to attack Bai Xiuyuan, and the other person saw that he had made a move, so he took out a long whip full of small barbs and hit it.

Bai Xiuyuan shook his sword slightly and passed through them.

I saw a flash of white light, leaving the shadows of several attacks. Chen Gongyou and the man stopped for a moment, then fell to the ground.

There were several cuts on the two of them, Chen Gongyou fell to the ground and didn't move, and the other man didn't expect Bai Xiuyuan to be so powerful, so he immediately threw a smoke bomb at his feet and escaped injured.

Bai Xiuyuan covered his nose and took a few steps back.

After a few breaths, the smoke was blown away, and only Chen Gongyou and the blood stains on the ground remained.

Bai Xiuyuan looked at Chen Gongyou, his eyebrows raised slightly, "Your accomplice, it's really easy to deceive, Lord Chen." ”
