Before Ya'er finished speaking, there was a faint wind blowing through the window, followed by a slight tingling sensation on the back of her neck, and the next moment, Ya'er closed her eyes, lost consciousness, and went straight to the ground.

Jiang Chuge supported her in time, looked in the direction of the window, and Xiao Qi's figure appeared in front of him.

"Miss Jiang, I'll come."

He strode forward, took the woman among Jiang Chu's singers, and hugged her on the bed.

Then he turned back and said to Jiang Chuge: "Climb the partition above the beam, and you can know what is happening in the next room......

Xiao Qi responded, looked up and observed the hanging board above his head, and after determining which piece to remove, he gathered internal force, flew up, and quickly took down a partition that was half a foot long and wide.

"Miss Jiang, I'll take you up."

"Hmm."

Jiang Chuge nodded after making sure that the door was indeed bolted again.

"Offended."

Due to the limited space, Xiao Qi grabbed Jiang Chuge's slender waist directly, and with a leap, the two figures entered the partition through the not spacious passage.

The distance between the top of the partition and the roof is narrow, and people cannot stand on it.

Jiang Chuge and the others crawled on the partition carefully and slightly, and successfully reached the partition of the room where Qin Yihuan was.

There is a certain gap between the partitions, and the voyeur stands on the roof and looks down, unable to get a glimpse of the inside of the house.

But standing on top of the partition and attaching your eyes to the tiny gap, you can get a general view of the inside of the house.

Jiang Chuge endured the choking dust and the discomfort of lying on the partition, closed one eye, and attached the other eye to the gap between the partitions, quietly watching the scene in the room below.

In the luxuriously decorated room, there is no trace of a woman.

Qin Yihuan and a man in a silver-gray robe sat at the Eight Immortals table in the room.

Because the direction in which the man was sitting happened to be facing away from the direction of Jiang Chuge's line of sight, Jiang Chuge could not determine his identity.

But the man's voice was quite familiar to Jiang Chuge.

"The emperor sent Jiang Chuge will arrive here in only nine days, and the master ordered me to bring you a message, if you don't want Li Ruofei to have something to do, let Jiang Chuge stay in the land of Lizhou forever!"

"I can't kill Jiang Chuge!"

Qin Yihuan's eyes were abnormally red, the blue tendons on his forehead were bulging, and the two hands placed on the table of the Eight Immortals were clenched into fists, and his face was painful, as if he was suffering from great pain.

He gritted his teeth and paused word by word.

"Heh~ Do you think you have the qualifications to choose?"

The man sitting opposite Qin Yihuan slowly took out a small bell from his sleeve that was as red as blood and shook it lightly.

Suddenly, Qin Yihuan held his head in pain with both hands, and kept rolling on the ground, he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from making painful sounds.

Jiang Chuge's heart tightened, and Xiao Qi on the side suddenly burst out with a strong killing intent, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of reason in his heart, he would even destroy the partition under him, fly down and kill the person who shook the bell on the spot.

The two of them tried their best to endure and continued to observe the situation in the house.

As the sound of the bell continued, Qin Yihuan's face gradually changed from initial pain to calm, and finally became sluggish.

He slowly got up from the ground, looked at the man holding the bell with a dull gaze, and said in an almost mechanical voice: "Master, what do you command?" ”

"At all costs, kill Qincha Jiang Chuge!"

The man's voice was cold and gloomy, lifeless.

"Yes!"

Qin Yihuan bent down at a ninety degree degree and received the order.

Seeing the huge difference in Qin Yihuan's attitude before and after, like a demon sign, Jiang Chuge had a bad idea in his heart.

She had seen the plot of using Gu worms to control people in TV dramas before.

Could it be that this kind of storyline is not fiction, and Qin Yihuan's current situation is under the control of Gu worms?

If it was really what she thought, the reason for Qin Yihuan's sudden change in personality a year ago would be like this.

While Jiang Chuge was thinking, the man who had achieved his goal put the bell into his sleeve, laughed arrogantly a few times, and strode away proudly.

When he turned to leave, Jiang Chuge quickly engraved the appearance of this person in his mind.

During his forensic science studies at school, Jiang Chuge specialized in painting because he often needed to draw pictures of various parts of the human body.

After returning tonight, she drew down the person's appearance, found out his identity, followed the line, and found out who the "master" behind the person was.

While Jiang Chuge was thinking, she saw with sharp eyes that when the man stepped out of the door, the strap of a copper coin pendant hanging from his waist suddenly broke and fell next to the threshold.

Qin Yihuan, who had lost the ability to think for himself, did not notice this situation, and he went out of the door with mechanical steps like a walking corpse, without even closing the door.

As Qin Yihuan's figure disappeared from sight, Jiang Chuge had a flash of lightning in his mind.

After a while, she propped herself up, looked at Xiao Qi with the light scattered above the partition through the gap, and quickly ordered: "Xiao Qi, you immediately enter this house through the window, and get the copper coin pendant that the mysterious man lost on the threshold of the room just now." ”

"Yes, Miss Jiang."

Xiao Qi also saw the scene just now, he reached out and rubbed his nose, which was uncomfortable because of the dust, and then left quickly.

After Xiao Qi left, Jiang Chuge fell back again, staring directly at the copper coin pendant.

It wasn't until he saw Xiao Qi enter the house, pick it up, and then leave quickly, that he was completely relieved.

She slowly shifted towards the partition and the passage in the room below.

When she moved to her destination, Xiao Qi happened to return to the room, and at the same time, there was a knock on the door of this room.

"Open the door, open the door!"

A furious roar came through the door.

Jiang Chuge was shocked, his feet slipped, and he fell straight down from the entrance of the passage.

"Ah~"

She screamed in fright, but fortunately, Xiao Qi caught her accurately, so that she would not break her muscles and bones.

"Kick the door!"

The person outside the house heard the movement in the room and immediately asked his subordinates to kick the door.

"Run!"

At this time, she must not reveal her identity, Jiang Chuge didn't care about letting Xiao Qi put her down, and let out a low shout.

"Hmm."

The situation was special, Xiao Qi didn't have time to take care of etiquette, and at the same time as the response, the internal force in his body surged wildly, holding Jiang Chuge like an arrow from the string, and disappeared into the dark night with a few flashes.

"Bang~"

After they left, there was a loud bang and the door was kicked open.

In the next room, the middle-aged man who shook the bell to control Qin Yihuan walked in.

But I saw only the brothel woman in a coma on the bed, the partition that had been removed, and the two windows that swayed back and forth, and it was obvious that someone had just passed here.

"Give me the whole city to search, but all suspicious people, I will arrest them all!"

His face contorted, and he shouted angrily at the two guards who followed him.

"Yes, Steward Qin."

The two guards responded in unison, then turned and left together.

The Qin steward in the mouths of the guards is Qin Guang, the housekeeper of Cao Lu's mansion.

However, not Cao Lu did things, but it was just a cover for him to hide his identity.

"You mean, when Qin Guang reported to Cao Lu, he said that Qin Yihuan had promised to cooperate, not that he had taken Qin Yihuan under control?"

Jiang Chuge found this detail in the quiet words and frowned.

"That's true, why did Miss Jiang say this?"

On the expressionless face, the cold eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Seeing that You gave an affirmative answer, Jiang Chuge frowned, and her mind was full of thoughts.

Xiao Qi on the side saw that she was in thought, and told Yu You the scene that the two of them had just seen on the partition on her behalf.

"Qin Guang is just a little butler in the Tongju Mansion, he secretly controlled Qin Yihuan, but he didn't let Cao Lu know, and continued to stay in Cao Lu's mansion, and did not set up his own door to be the master...... So many times of concealment and contrary to common sense...... The master in the mouth of this Qin steward will definitely not be Cao Lu! ”

Lizhou has become what it is today, and Qin Guang must be inseparable.

Jiang Chuge said his analysis, and then looked at Xiao Qi: "Give me the copper coin pendant." ”

"Oh, good."

The shock in his heart made Xiao Qi forget about this stubble, and seeing that Jiang Chuge took the initiative, he hurriedly took out the copper coin pendant from the placket of his chest and handed it to her.

It is a copper coin with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside, with a face value of one penny, which is tied by a straw-green rope in a braided way and made into a pendant, without any holes in it.

At first glance, except for the decoration, it is no different from an ordinary copper coin.

But after careful observation, Jiang Chuge found that on the side of the copper coin, there was a string of strange totems that were not easy to detect, which was quite similar to the appearance of a scorpion.

Scorpion?

"Do you two know that on the Wind Illusion Continent, has there ever been a copper coin used by a country with a totem similar to a scorpion engraved on the side?"

Because the characters of the Wind Fantasy Continent are unified, Jiang Chuge could not determine which country it belonged to based on the characters on the front and back of the copper coin.

And she is even more unfamiliar with the types of copper coins used in various countries of the Wind Fantasy Continent.

"I don't know."

Xiao Qi shook his head embarrassedly.

You was not in a hurry to answer, took the copper coin from Jiang Chu's singer and observed it carefully, and then looked at Jiang Chuge: "I haven't heard of it...... In this case, it is more deliberate and purposeful...... It should be used as some kind of code. ”

Before he was determined to follow Qin Ying to serve him, Yu was also a famous chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes.

He has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knows countless strange things, but he has never heard of a country carving a scorpion totem on the side of the copper wall.

"Scorpions as a code?"

Jiang Chuge couldn't help but mutter.

Scorpions, could it be ......

"The holy beast of the Northern Shadow is the scorpion!"

Shocked by the thoughts in his heart, Jiang Chuge raised his voice slightly.

As soon as these words came into his ears, a touch of anger flashed between his eyebrows, and the air around him became condensed because of this change in him.

"Lizhou is the most abundant place for grain production in the Eastern Qing Dynasty, and the grain handed over to the state treasury every year is only one million quintals more than the grain handed over by Lizhou......"

His voice was gloomy, and his heart was full of anger: "When the prince and the prince were chatting, it was said that if Lizhou did not hand over grain to the treasury for three consecutive years, the treasury granary would be in a state of deficit. If there is a war at that time, the tiger and wolf army of the Eastern Qing Dynasty will be vulnerable due to lack of food. ”

Don't dare to face the battle on the battlefield, and use some shady tricks, the emperors and generals of Beiyou are really despicable!

"If our analysis is true, I'm afraid that Qin Guang will make people search the city tonight, and all the clothes and accessories we wear when we go to heaven and earth must be thrown away, and this copper coin must be temporarily hidden somewhere."

Jiang Chuge was full of solemnity, thinking that it was just to correct corrupt officials and cure the plague, but he didn't want to involve the conspiracy and calculations of other countries.

Fortunately, Jiang Chuge had more of this layer of thought, and when the guards of the Tongju Mansion sent by Qin Guang searched the inn where they were staying, they found nothing.

After the searcher left, Yu of course flew up to the roof of his room, took out the copper coin pendant from under one of the tiles, and then entered Jiang Chuge's room through the window with Xiao Qi.

It was late at night, and if the candles were still lit in the room, it would be suspicious.

Fortunately, in the second half of the night, the moon peeked out of the clouds, and a little cold light scattered through the window, but I could barely see with the help of the moonlight.
