"I know," Cheng Ziqi choked up, "I don't want to find out who is the murderer, I just hope that grandpa will come back to life......"

"Qi ......" Yang Mingjin hugged the person in his arms in distress, but he clenched his fists in his heart.

Yang Mingjin secretly analyzed the clues, that Ye Linglan must be a member of the royal family of the Lan Kingdom, so there must be a purpose for coming to the Lan Kingdom, but the Lan Kingdom and the Yang Kingdom have always been good friends, and I really don't know what his purpose is. That Wen Xingying obviously didn't know Ye Linglan's true identity, it should be Ye Linglan's intention to conceal it, and it should be related to Ye Linglan's purpose of coming to Lan Kingdom. Besides, Cheng Lao died strangely, just because he couldn't find a motive to kill him, if the murderer was not Ye Linglan, then what was the motive for killing Cheng Haoli to blame Ye Linglan?

In which direction to investigate, Yang Mingjin really has a headache.

In the evening, Xuan Ying came to Wen Xingying's annex alone, and at this time, Wen Xingying and Ye Linglan were sitting in the courtyard.

"Ying'er, you're here." Wen Xingying was very happy to see Xuan Ying, so he sat him down.

"Brother Shadow, I wanted to ask you, what do I need to do about the affairs of the Sky Villa?" Xuan Yingjing explained her intentions.

That Wen Xingying smiled bitterly, stood up, and turned his back to Xuan Ying and Ye Linglan, "I don't plan to rely on you to help me check this time, I want to see if I am qualified to be the head of the intelligence department." ”

Xuan Ying was a little surprised, and didn't understand why he had such thoughts, "Brother Ying, but where are you going to start investigating?" ”

"From the guests of the banquet, the enemies of Cheng Lao's gang leader, aren't they all okay?" That Wen Xingying was obviously absent-minded.

"But ......" Xuan Ying wanted to say that these two aspects were useless, the other party's intention was obviously Ye Linglan, it was better to start with Ye Linglan's enemy, as well as the other party's hiding place, and many other clues. If Wen Xingying checked according to his thoughts, it would definitely be in vain...... However, without saying anything, he was stopped by Ye Linglan.

"Alright, I'll talk to him." Ye Linglan smiled, very satisfied with the girl's sensitivity, "You can go back and help him do something you can." ”

"Okay." Xuan Ying stood up as she spoke, glanced at Wen Xingying's lonely back, and left.

"Brother Shadow." Ye Linglan walked behind Wen Xingying.

The evening breeze blew softly, and the afterglow of the sunset shone obliquely on the two of them, reflecting two overlapping figures.

"Hmm." Wen Xingying responded.

"If I hide something from you, will you blame me?" Ye Linglan said softly.

"You can hide it from me, but I hope you don't lie to me." Wen Xingying chuckled, turned around and took the girl's arms, and looked into his eyes, where there was his own figure.

"So did you lie to me about something?"

Wen Xingying asked solemnly, but Ye Linglan didn't know how to answer, so she had to step forward and put her head on Wen Xingying's shoulder, unwilling to continue to look at each other that made people panic.

Wen Xingying sighed and hugged the girl in her arms.

The two investigation subjects that Wen Xingying said to Xuan Ying can be said to be that he vented for a while, and the next day, before he began to implement his real investigation plan, another visitor came to the courtyard, and this one made Wen Xingying completely surprised.

The person who came was none other than Mr. Lin Feng of Chiyan Villa, Zuo Tingfeng.

Zuo Tingfeng arrived at the end of the day, and Wen Xingying stayed for a moment when he saw him. I haven't seen him for almost three years, and Feng's appearance has hardly changed, he is still gentle and elegant, and he can't see that this is Mr. Lin Feng who turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands for rain on the rivers and lakes, and almost everyone knows about him.

"Brother Shadow, long time no see." Zuo Tingfeng smiled.

Ye Linglan was also surprised by Zuo Tingfeng's arrival. This man, who had already made a name for himself at the age of eighteen, seemed to be different from what he imagined. He is about the same height as Wen Xingying, but his face is not as resolute as Brother Ying. His appearance was very soft, but his eyes were very shrewd, as if everyone had nothing to hide in his eyes, Ye Linglan had a feeling that he was well known by that person.

Zuo Tingfeng's first impression of Ye Linglan was excellent. Lovely face, purple dress, like a fairy child in the sky. His own rain has the same characteristics as him, and he wants to be held in his arms and loved by him, but he doesn't have the indifferent feeling of rain.

For this little gentleman, Zuo Tingfeng knows a lot more than Wen Xingying, and the background of that little gentleman is not simple.

"Kaede, why are you here?" After introducing Ye Linglan to Zuo Tingfeng and chatting briefly, Wen Xingying asked the question he was eager to know at the moment.

"You should know that someone will always report your recent situation to me, and the incident in the village near Rongcheng made me vigilant, I feel that the other party's intentions are not simple, think about it, or decide to come."

Zuo Tingfeng remembered that more than 20 days ago, he received a flying pigeon from his subordinates, saying that those people had poisoned the villagers. Knowing that the other party's target would not be Wen Xingying, it must be Ye Linglan, at that time, he had already sent someone to Xiaoyao Villa to do the unfinished task of Wen Xingying, and the news that came made people a little worried, so he sent someone to pay close attention to the movements in Suzhou, and he also set off for Suzhou six days ago. It's a pity that I miscalculated the methods of those people, and I set off a few days late, which put Wen Xingying in a dilemma now, and I'm sorry for my friend Cheng Ziqi.

However, time cannot be turned back after all, all he can do is make up for it, Zuo Tingfeng is completely sure, it is just a matter of time.

"Brother Shadow, do you want to catch the murderer yourself, or do you want me to help you?" Zuo Tingfeng asked Wen Xingying.

"I'll do it myself." That Wen Xingying affirmed.

"Okay, then I'll give you some hints." Zuo Tingfeng smiled: "First, the murderer's goal is to blame Feng Lan, so it is impossible for them to stay in Suzhou for a long time. Second, their purpose was not just to blame Feng Lan, they would definitely do something else. Third, how do they relate to the people you have met before? Brother Shadow, do you understand? ”

"Hmm." Wen Xingying nodded.

Ye Linglan was taken aback, the three points that Zuo Tingfeng said were really to the point, and he grasped all the key parts of the problem, and he really deserved to be the famous Mr. Lin Feng.

Zuo Tingfeng's visit to Suzhou this time was extremely low-key, and few people knew about it. After meeting with Wen Xingying, he went to Qingtian Villa to visit Cheng Ziqi and Yang Mingjian.

He knew about the relationship between the two men, and knew from the beginning that they had kept in touch with him during the three years they had been separated, but he was very measured not to mention the recent situation of the other party to them.

Seeing those two familiar faces again, Zuo Tingfeng was full of emotion for a while. Fourteen-year-old Ziqi has grown up, shed his childishness, become quiet, and seems to have a little more charm. And the hibiscus is also obviously much more mature.

Cheng Ziqi threw himself into Zuo Tingfeng's arms and cried like a child seeing his big brother, and the latter comforted him while exchanging helpless expressions with Yang Mingjian.

Zuo Tingfeng helped him to sit on the bed, sat on the chair next to him with Yang Mingjin, and said, "Qi'er, tell me honestly, when you first knew that the murderer might be Feng Lan, did you want to kill him to avenge the old gang leader?" ”

"To be honest," Cheng Ziqi's voice choked up a little, "I have thought so." ”

"Hibiscus, what about you? You also want to kill Feng Lan to avenge Qi? Zuo Tingfeng asked Yang Mingjin again.

"Yes." Yang Mingjin nodded.

Zuo Tingfeng chuckled, "Perhaps, this is the purpose of the murderer." I hope that you will kill Feng Lan on impulse, then Brother Ying will definitely not give up, so that Chiyan will form a bond with Qingtian, and the rivers and lakes will have no peace. ”

"Kaede, do you know the true identity of Mr. Nari?" Yang Mingjin asked.

"Hmm." Zuo Tingfeng nodded.

"Since the other party is targeting him, does it mean that there will be a change in the country?" Yang Mingjin asked about the doubts of the past few days.

"That's right, and the change is not small, but now the other party is still planning." Zuo Tingfeng frowned.

"Cangguo has been low-key for so long, this time it is suddenly difficult, I am only afraid that if their conspiracy against the country succeeds, then it will not be long before the court or the rivers and lakes will not be calm."

"Don't be afraid," Zuo Tingfeng smiled: "Our Red Flame children are also very good, it's time for them to display their talents." ”

Yang Mingjin also smiled, "Feng came this time, and everything in the village was handed over to the rain?" ”

"Well, I rarely rest, so it's okay to keep him busy, but Brother Ying's vigilance is so bad that he must have been drugged. Fortunately, the other party didn't treat him well. ”

"yes......"

A few days later, on a dark and windy night, a dark shadow quietly entered the courtyard of Wen Xingying, and quietly blew into the window the "shadowless incense" that can make people sleep for several hours.

The two people on the bed hugged each other and slept together, and the person outside the bed firmly held the person in the bed in his arms, both of them slept deeply, and the eyes of the person who came darkened, and then slowly pulled out the knife pinned to his waist and stretched it out to the neck of the person inside the bed.

The knife slowly approached the target, and the eyes of the person flashed brightly, and he was about to rotate his wrist--

Suddenly, the person who was supposed to be asleep on the outside of the bed opened his eyes and quickly clicked on the big pucus around him.

"Do you think you'll get it a second time?" The man sneered.

At this time, the door of the house opened again, and Zuo Tingfeng walked in, waving to his subordinates behind him expressionlessly, "Take it down." ”

In the prison of the Suzhou rudder of the Red Flame Villa, Wen Xingying looked at the man in black who was locked on the shelf, "Boy, you are capable, but unfortunately, you are not as good as our senior brother." Now, tell me, who instructed you to do this? Wen Xingying opened the folding fan and looked at him.

The man didn't answer, just looked away.

"If you don't say it, I know." Wen Xingying stood up and put the folding fan in his hand, "Who else will there be besides the five demons of Cangguo, seeing that your ability to use poison is good, it should belong to Mr. Poison's subordinates." A few days ago, you sneaked in with the drug Shadowless Incense, stole Lan'er's jade pendant, and killed Cheng Lao's gang leader to blame Lan'er, because you wanted the people of the Cheng family to kill Lan'er, so that we have no way to interfere in Chiyan Villa, right? So, why did you kill Lan'er? ”

"It's not that I don't say you know?" The man scoffed.

"Yes, I know that Lan'er's identity is not ordinary, and I can roughly guess the reason why the five demons want to deal with him. But I'm sure Lan'er isn't a bad person, and besides, are you doing these little things right under my nose, thinking that I'm so easy to bully in Red Flame Villa? Wen Xingying's voice became stern.

The man sneered, "It's not easy to bully, but it's not easy to bully Mr. Linfeng, not you." Even you said that I was just defeated by Mr. Linfeng, not by you, Mr. Xingying. ”

Wen Xingying stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar, "Do you think I can't think of any way to take Lan'er's jade pendant unnoticed?" Do you think I don't know that if the enemy fails to do so, he will inevitably have another plan? You're here to kill Lan'er tonight, because your master can't wait to strike first, even if it angers us, we can't care about it, do you think you can succeed if Feng doesn't come? Tell you, although my Wen Xingying is not the best in the world, but the person I want to protect has not yet been moved! ”

Walking out of the cell, Wen Xingying raised his head and looked at the sky, the night sky was very clear today, and what happened during this time was really sad.

The mission in Suzhou is over, and Zuo Tingfeng wants to return to Chiyan Villa. Before leaving, he went to say goodbye to Cheng Ziqi and Yang Mingjin, and it seemed that Jin planned to be with Ziqi here in the future, which made Zuo Tingfeng very happy.

On the day Zuo Tingfeng set off, Wen Xingying and Ye Linglan also packed up. Zuo Tingfeng smiled evilly and asked where they were going, and Wen Xingying said that if he didn't give the task, he would go back to the Red Flame Villa with him.

Zuo Tingfeng laughed and took out a letter he had placed on his body and handed it to him.

"Then, Brother Ying, Lan'er, there will be a period later." Zuo Tingfeng hugged his fists.

"There will be a date later." The two returned the salute.

Zuo Tingfeng's back looks very chic, one person and one horse, as if he is not bound by any worldly shackles, such a person is more suitable for smiling in the mountains and forests.

When Zuo Tingfeng's figure was out of sight, Wen Xingying retracted his gaze, looked at the envelope in his hand, and said to Ye Linglan: "I don't know if he will let me do something inexplicable." ”

Ye Linglan spread her hands with a smile.

Wen Xingying opened the envelope, and the letter actually read, "Go to the gambling house in Hangzhou Qi'er to earn a thousand taels of silver." ”

"Okay!" That Wen Xingying crumpled the letter into a ball, "It's your job this time!" ”

As a result, Wen Xingying's next destination was determined - Hangzhou.

Hangzhou City is very close to Suzhou City, and two days later, the two entered the city, and on the way to the destination, Wen Xingying has been introducing the scenery of Hangzhou to Ye Linglan, "I will take you to see the West Lake when I have time, if you don't see the West Lake, you will not be a real Hangzhou guest." ”

At this time, the two stopped in front of a gambling house.

"This gambling house is opened by Red Flame Villa, and it is also in my name. Now I'll take you to see Ziqi, he's as famous as Ying'er, the most capable of all the leaders under me. ”

Ye Linglan nodded, the previous leaders, their appearance, personality, and profession all have their own merits, I don't know what this Ziqi looks like.

Someone had already opened the curtain at the door and waited for the two, and Wen Xingying walked in with Ye Linglan.

"What do you want to play?" The little guy came and greeted them.

"Call your boss out." Wen Xingying said and took out the jade pendant from his arms.

"Lan'er," after Xiao Er left, Wen Xingying turned to Ye Linglan, and for some reason he actually smiled evilly, "Do you want to guess Qi'er's appearance?" ”

"How do you guess that?" Ye Linglan blinked.

"Do you think he's going to be the same type as Yu'er Ying'er?" Wen Xingying asked tentatively.

"You must not be asking that," Ye Linglan tugged at the corners of her lips, "Could it be a very masculine type?" ”

"This ......"

"Brother Shadow."

Wen Xingying was just about to answer, when a crisp male voice interrupted him, the voice was transparent, like a clear spring in the mountains. Ye Linglan turned his head, and in front of him was a person dressed in purple like herself, about sixteen years old, his appearance was not as gorgeous as a woman, nor was it that resolute face, but gave people a very clean and refreshing feeling.

"Qi'er." Wen Xingying smiled at him.

The next moment, the girl threw herself into Wen Xingying's arms, "It's finally here, I miss you so much." ”

"Me too." Wen Xingying stretched out his arms to hug the girl and said softly.

Wen Xingying and Ye Linglan's luggage were put in a room on the second floor by Ziqi, and he took them to the account room of the gambling house, which was usually a place to discuss things.

Listening to Wen Xingying's complaint about his new mission, Ziqi just smiled back.

"Mr. Big is quite interesting, but, Brother Ying, it's still easy to earn a thousand taels, and I can earn a hundred taels in almost a cup of tea in my gambling house."

"Then you can lend me a thousand taels for the errand......" Wen Xingying sighed.

"However, what Mr. Big means is that I want you to win a thousand taels, and I can lend you a maximum of ten taels of silver, which Mr. Big informed me of a few days ago."

"He's gone too far!" Wen Xingying gritted his teeth.

"It's okay, I can teach you a few tricks, and I'll make you a thousand taels soon." Ziqi couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't want it!" Wen Xingying said angrily: "I want to see if I can win a thousand taels with my own ability, I can't win and I will stay here for the rest of my life!" ”

Ye Linglan sighed helplessly, and Ziqi turned around and laughed.

In the next five days, Wen Xingying gambled a few taels of silver on the gambling table, because he didn't bet much money, and when it was settled in the evening, he would win about ten taels of silver every day.

"It will take three months to earn ten taels a day, and it will take three months to earn a thousand taels." On the evening of the fifth day, in the account room, Ziqi said to Wen Xingying, and Ye Linglan sat next to him and drank tea.

"yes." Wen Xingying shrugged, not caring.

"Brother Shadow, in this way, you can be regarded as the person who takes the longest time to complete the task, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by other gentlemen?" Ziqi blinked.
