The five of them were about to find a restaurant to eat, and when the cold wind was at the end, he suddenly glanced behind him alertly.

"Cold Wind, what's wrong?" When Wen Zhiyu shouted Cold Wind, Gu Shiqi just turned his head to look at Cold Wind, and Cold Wind replied: "My subordinates always feel that someone is following us, but after we entered the Ruyi Gambling House before, that person temporarily walked away." We came out, and the man followed. ”

"Isn't it from the Ruyi Casino?" Gu Shiqi asked.

Han Feng shook his head: "I can identify the people from the Ruyi Gambling Room, and it is a woman who has been following us. ”

"It's not easy, just catch her. Follow me! Lianzhi said.

Shuhan was originally following a few people, but when she walked into an alley, she found that those people were gone, so she ran into the alley to find someone, but there was still no one: "Oh no." ”

At this moment, several bamboo poles leaning against the wall fell, and Shuhan couldn't dodge it, and his shoulder was smashed. She clutched her shoulders: "Who is it?" "If someone hadn't deliberately knocked down the bamboo poles, they wouldn't have fallen at all.

"Miss Shuhan, you followed us all the way, don't you know who we are?" The cold wind came out of the shadows.

Shuhan saw the cold wind, and his face was shocked: "I just happened to be passing by here." ”

"Then you happen to be a coincidence, wherever we go, you happen to pass by." Cold Wind's voice changed, "You said that if I kill you here, will anyone know?" ”

"The queen mother knows that I follow you, if something happens to me, the queen mother will not let you go." Shuhan looked at the cold wind with a vigilant face, for fear that the cold wind would strike at any time.

Hanfeng sneered: "You are really stupid, you sold the queen so quickly." ”

Shuhan realized that he had been fooled: "It was the queen mother who was worried that Princess Wanyang was in danger, so she let the slave maid follow all the way." ”

"If it's for the good of Princess Wanyang, then why are you sneaky, you can come out generously."

Shuhan was poor for a while, and the cold wind stepped forward, and the sword came out of the sheath and rested on Shuhan's neck: "I advise you to go back and forth from where, otherwise even if I kill you, the queen mother will never ask us more." Get lost! ”

Shuhan avoided Jian Feng and quickly ran away.

Seeing Shuhan fleeing in the wilderness, the cold wind retracted his sword and returned it to its sheath. Lian Zhi, Wen Zhiyu, Gu Shiqi and Su Qing came out of the shadows, and Lian Zhi spoke: "It seems that Wang Li's matter is already very clear who is calculating me. ”

……

The five of them found a restaurant, chose a private room near the water to eat, and opened the window to see the Yihong Courtyard on the other side of the river.

"Why did you let Wang Jin go?" Gu Shiqi asked.

Lian Zhi replied: "It's very simple, because it is impossible for Wang Jin to give me the Ruyi Gambling House, it is better for me to take the initiative to give in and give him a choice." Moreover, if he doesn't give it to me today, the Ruyi Gambling House may change hands in the future! ”

"But why did you choose this place to eat?"

"In order to see the situation in Yihong Courtyard opposite. The person you arranged in Yihong Courtyard is okay, right? ”

Gu Shiqi nodded: "Don't worry, that person is fine." But have you figured out how to do it? ”

At this moment, there was a woman's singing sound outside, and this sound was sung by the current Oiran Hongyu of Yihong Courtyard.

Lianzhi walked to the window, opened the window and looked at the lake. seems to be boundless and elegant, attracting countless people's attention, but on such a cold day, wearing so thin clothes and singing in the wind, is it really elegant?

"Gu Shiqi, are you sure there will be nothing wrong with the matter of Hongyu?"

"Of course, the others don't dare to pack tickets, and there is absolutely no problem with the matter of Ruby."

Lianzhi closed the window and kept the coolness out: "In that case, there is still one last place missing." ”

"Chander's pawnshop!"

"But I'm going to go to this place on my own."

"Are you crazy?"

"Don't worry, I'll go in and come out in plain sight, not today, of course."

"Are you going back to the palace today?" Gu Shiqi asked.

Lian Zhi shook his head: "Find an inn to live in today, it's too late, it's inconvenient." ”

"It's good for you to live directly in my Gu family."

"Are you sure?" Lian Zhi asked rhetorically, "Those people from the Ruyi Gambling House are still following us, if we follow you back to the Gu family, it will be all gone." If it's in an inn, there are too many people, and they still have scruples. ”

Gu Shiqi immediately waved his hand: "That's still a guest house, I thought about it, I'll also stay in a guest house." Those people at Ruyi Casino are really scary, why not solve it directly. ”

"They are very useful." This is all that Ren Zhi said.

……

After dinner, the five of them found the largest inn in Chujing to live in and booked five upper rooms.

As Lianzhi expected, the people in the Ruyi Gambling House naturally didn't dare to do anything to them in such a big inn, so they could only stare at it first.

Su Qing waited for Lian Zhi to lie down before returning to the room, and after Lian Zhi made sure that Su Qing returned to the room, he immediately opened his eyes.

When Lianzhi left the inn, he glanced back at the thugs of the Ruyi Gambling House who were still staring at the inn, and they didn't notice Lianzhi's departure at all.

The goal of Lianzhi is very clear, that is, pawnshop. In a place like a pawnshop, it is useless to pretend to be a guest, and it is more appropriate to go and see it secretly.

Chand's pawnshop in the middle of the night, from the outside, is pitch black inside. The high courtyard wall couldn't stop Lianzhi at all, and when she jumped on the wall, she saw that there were many dogs and guards in the yard, and as long as someone broke in, she would be discovered immediately.

When Lianzhi entered the pawnshop, he didn't alarm anyone at all, not even the dogs noticed anything unusual.

As soon as Lianzhi entered the pawnshop, he found that tonight seemed to be very unusual, and the entire pawnshop was loading things and sending them out.

"You all have to be careful, if you accidentally bump into it, it's not enough to sell you and pay for it." The steward instructed as he checked the contents of the unloaded box through the account book.

Lianzhi was lying on the roof of the house, watching them load the box into the car, Lianzhi thought for a while, and sprinkled some powder on the box from a high place, and no one noticed Lianzhi's actions.

One by one, the carriages passed through the empty streets, and the steward closed the back door and walked into the study with the account books. Lianzhi did not follow up with the study, and after a while, the steward left the study, and she sneaked into the study.

Lianzhi found a ledger on the shelf in the study, and she looked through it, but she couldn't see any problems in this ledger. However, Lianzhi didn't believe that Qian De's pawnshop was so clean, and the account book in the steward's hand just now was definitely not this one.

Lianzhi searched for a hidden compartment in the study, and the painting hanging on the wall caught her attention, and Lianzhi reached out and fumbled for the painting, and when he touched the bottom, he paused and found it.

The person who set up the dark grid put a lot of thought into it, and if it weren't for Ren Zhi's mastery of the mechanism, he might not be able to open the dark grid even if he could find it. There were really a few ledgers in the dark grid, and Lianzhi picked them up and looked through them by the moonlight, Rao is well-informed and amazed at the ruthlessness of the methods of Qian De's pawnshop.

Lianzhi left Chand's pawnshop after putting the ledger in its place, and she had another place to go.

Just now, Lianzhi sprinkled some powder on the box, which is a very special fragrance that only trained people can smell. Lianzhi followed the fragrance to find it, but she found that the goods were not delivered to the Wang family, but to the second prince Wen Zhiyu's mansion.

Lian Zhi did not enter the Second Prince's Mansion, turned around and left.

Lianzhi walked slowly in the direction of the inn along the deserted street. It's worth it to come tonight, at least I know that the Mo family supports Wen Zhiyu.

As he walked, Lianzhi pondered what to do with it. The killing of Wang Li was planted by the queen, but it was impossible for her to drag the queen in, and the Wang family and the Mo family were obviously connected with the second prince, but the second prince would be involved in this matter.

Renzhi thought carefully, and every link had to be very precise.

"Why are you here?"

Only then did Lianzhi realize that she was thinking too seriously just now, and she didn't even notice that someone was approaching, she looked up at the person who came: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Wen Zhiyu walked towards Lianzhi: "I knew that you didn't go back to the palace today because you had something to do, you went to the Qian De pawnshop, right?" ”

Lianzhi nodded, and Wen Zhiyu was anxious and angry: "Do you know how dangerous Qian De's pawnshop is, what if something happens to you?" ”

"I'm measured, even if I am discovered, it won't affect you."

"Do you think I'm afraid of being implicated by you? If I was really afraid of being affected by you, I wouldn't have cared about you from the beginning. ”

Only then did Lianzhi realize that Wen Zhiyu was really angry this time: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but you really can't go." ”

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Then you can go?" You bear all the dangers yourself, where do you put me? ”

"But you and I are a marriage contract, and you don't need to do it for me." Lianzhi replied, "If you are determined to protect me, then everything you have done before is likely to be ruined, is this what you want to see?" ”
