Chapter 337: Sniffing the Rose
A city is surging, and the rain is dark.
Chang Qianfo leaned on the nanmu chaise longue with the backrest raised, and Luotuo's thin face was hidden in the dim light of the room, so that a thin layer of dark color eroded the outline was blurred, and the darkness flickered.
It's no longer the same as it used to be.
The hand is also so thin that only the bones are left, the knuckles are abrupt, lightly resting on the handle of the chair engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, his eyes are slightly closed, and he listens to Ling Fu say one by one:
“…… After the incident, Fang Xian reorganized the defense line, and the four gates were closed, all of which were heavily guarded. ”
"Not only us, but the Ming Palace has also sent a large number of people to tightly choke the various passes out of the city, and Tan Zhou should still be in the city."
Chang Qianfo did not answer, only nodded his head slightly, indicating that he was listening. Ling Fu then continued:
"On that day, in order to rescue the son, the fourth lady destroyed a casino in the Ming Palace, two money houses, a total of three properties, and I have roughly estimated the loss, and sent the bill over, but was rejected by Jin Yanchen......"
Chang Qianfo opened his eyes at this time. Ling Fu paused, waiting for his instructions.
"If you don't accept it, don't send it."
Chang Qianfo said slowly, his voice sluggish: "Jin Yanchen refuses to accept our compensation, because he always feels that Dian Ke is his person in his heart, and he doesn't want her to be related to me." Then no matter how angry he is, out of the heart of protecting his shortcomings, he will not be too embarrassed. On the contrary, Uncle Ling's move was easy to make him angry. ”
There are several money gambling houses, Changjiabao can afford to lose, and Jin Yanchen can also afford to fold.
What really annoyed Jin Yanchen was not how many strongholds Mu Dianke destroyed and how much gold and silver he lost, but that she actually betrayed the goals and beliefs they had always adhered to for an outsider.
Ling Fu understood a little and sighed: "It's that I don't think about it." ”
"Uncle Ling has a heart."
Ling Fu's move was nothing more than hoping to make up for the losses caused by Mu Dian to the greatest extent by compensating the Ming Palace with silver money.
Jin Yanchen has an explanation for his subordinates, and he will not be forced to punish Mu Dianke under pressure.
Although the practice was inappropriate, Chang Qianfo was grateful in his heart.
“…… Come to think of it, he won't be angry with Dian Ke for such a trivial matter. ”
The man was so proud that he didn't bother to say a word even if he was hurt and endured to the point of madness.
But yesterday, after Mu Dianke left, he suddenly turned around and asked himself something like this:
"In Qiliao, I'm going to kill you, do you know in advance, or don't you know?"
Mu Dian was fortified in advance, and he rebelled against Xu Younan, how could Chang Qianfo not know?
But he was lucky, thinking that Jin Yanchen would not make such a crazy move in order to take care of the overall situation.
Or maybe he still had a little bit of a mind that he couldn't be exposed to the light of day, and even he didn't notice it at the time: he hoped that Mu Dianke would make a compromise and leave with him because he cared for his life.
What he didn't realize himself, Jin Yanchen thought of.
He looks domineering and arrogant on the surface, but inside he hides such a sensitive and delicate heart, and he has far-reaching plans for it and completely guards against it. Pawn Ke is by his side, should he be at ease?
"Let Uncle Liang send more people, be sure to find Tan Zhou before Jin Yanchen."
Ling Fu responded, and said: "There is another matter that must be decided by the son." Early this morning, Gui Ruotong of Luoyang Bajun was highly poisoned, and was personally escorted to Yixin Hall by Lao Si Bo Xiao and Lao Liuwanding for treatment.
Jiang Yue and Li Ting agreed that they should first let the iron guards detain the people, break through from several people, and find Tan Zhou's whereabouts. But Liangqing doesn't seem to want to interfere. ”
It is unclear whether Luoyang Bajun was involved in the arson, but after all, they were Mumen and were accomplices. Liangqing's attitude is intriguing.
"Who poisoned it?" Chang Qianfo groaned.
"The third seat of the Ming Palace, on the Jun Huo An. It's the people of the fourth lady. ”
Ling Fu added: "The strange thing is that Pan Yuji, the master of Lingxu Sect, was also present at the time, and it is alleged that he had saved Gui Ruotong's life at the time of the incident, but Gui Ruotong did not appreciate it, and insisted that Pan Yuji was Huo An's accomplice. ”
Chang Qianfo's eyes flickered slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What is the attitude of Bo Xiao and Wan Ding?" ”
Bo Xiao stood on Gui Ruotong's side, and Wan Ding did not express his position for the time being.
"This matter will be handled by Uncle Liang."
Chang Qianfo no longer hesitated, and resolutely ordered: "Find out what happened early this morning as soon as possible." Pay special attention to Huo An and Pan Yuji, who they have been dealing with recently, and whether they have large money transactions, they must find out. ”
At the same time, Huo An and Pan Yuji are being investigated, as well as Bo Xiao.
Pan Yuji, like other Jianghu people in Chuzhou, was forced by Mu Cangping's pressure and had to come to help Tan Zhou and deal with the Ming Palace together.
Although everyone is in the same boat, there is a difference between these Jianghu Sanyong and Mumenzhong people after all, and Tan Zhou didn't let them know many things.
How Pan Yuji found Sanjun's residence, and happened to appear at the same time as Huo An, this is suspicious. And after Gui Ruotong woke up, he insisted that Pan Yuji defected to the Ming Palace, helped Huo An poison himself, and killed the people of Mumen who were stationed in the wooden house.
But these were not enough to convict Pan Yuji of covering the coffin.
The people in front of the wooden house were all killed by iron guns, and none of them could confirm that Pan Yuji had killed them.
And when Wan Ding arrived at the scene, he also witnessed Pan Yuji desperately saving people from Huo An's gun.
"He did it for his own protection, in case he would be retaliated against by Mumen in the future."
Although Gui Ruotong woke up, the residual poison in her body had not been completely removed, and there was still a layer of misty ash on her face, and her eyes were sluggish, but she couldn't hide her anger at the moment:
"Pan Yuji is too cunning. I saw him sneering at me, and when Huo An went on a killing spree, he was right next to him, but he didn't do anything. He had already arrived, not just arrived, as he told you. ”
She didn't say that Jiaolan poisoned her.
Jiaolan is her former sister after all, and she has also paid the price.
"But you don't have proof." Wan Ding said.
Wan Ding is the most calm person in Luoyang, except for the boss Han Jujun, among the eight handsomes in Luoyang.
Calmness is often the same as coldness. Therefore, he will not be like Bo Xiao, just because he has a friendship with Gui Ruotong, he will unconditionally believe anything she says.
He talks about evidence, he talks about motivation.
"You don't believe me?" Gui Ruotong asked angrily.
"Bo Xiao went to check." Wan Ding said lightly: "I believe he will find out the truth." ”
Gui Ruotong glared at Wan Ding stubbornly, and he saw his looseness. Wan Ding just looked back at her calmly.
After all, Gui Ruotong lowered his head first, and the angry flames in his eyes were replaced by a touch of imperceptible frustration and disappointment.
"I'll find out for myself."
Gui Ruotong lowered his eyes, his voice was cold, and he lost his previous anger and agitation: "I know you don't believe me, you are more willing to believe Tan Zhou than me." But Xingyang, he is your brother, when Xingyang died, Tan Zhou's crossbowmen lurked opposite the teahouse, only one street away......"
Gui Ruotong's throat choked, and it was difficult to continue: "It's only one street wide and two feet wide...... Xingyang he, he told me before, he can't get used to Tan Zhou......"
The woman, who has always been strong and showy, has flushed eyes, but her expression is extremely firm, and her silver teeth are crushed, full of hatred:
"I know that this matter is not as simple as it seems. The assassination of you and Ah Xiao is a cover, and the person he really wants to get rid of is me...... What is fake is fake, and no matter how similar it is, it is just to blame. ”
