The ring incident caused a lot of turmoil in Changxing City, but the final big winner was Xu Rui.

In this battle, he stepped forward as a hero, and annihilated all the people of the East China Sea who were powerful and blessed in one battle, won back the national prestige and popular hearts lost by the Great Wei, and truly achieved fame and fortune.

Although not only did there be no commendation in the final decree, but even Emperor Hongwei babbled twice, everyone knew that this was just a drama for outsiders to see.

To be an emperor always has to be a little open-minded, can't you be happy and jump up and down because of this kind of thing, right?

Therefore, even if Xu Rui's biggest opponent at the moment, King Liao, really suffered a dumb loss in this matter, but the entire civil official group knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, and no one would trouble Xu Rui in this matter.

But it was all the scenery in the eyes of outsiders, after receiving the holy decree, Xu Rui did not leave the house for several days, quietly nesting in the backyard to study, and I don't know what it was for.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Rui was lying in the pavilion of the princess's mansion, holding a copy of "The Art of War" leisurely enjoying the coolness, when he suddenly heard a slight movement in his ears.

He raised his eyelids and saw that it was really Li Kuang, who he hadn't seen for a few days, coming over the wall.

I don't know if Li Kuang deliberately showed off his martial arts, or if he had developed the habit of flying over the wall, in short, the commander of the brocade guard made the adults come to find Xu Rui and basically did not go through the main gate, and was more accustomed to coming over the wall like a thief.

"This is to leave all the masters in my princess's mansion aside, and when you want to leave, if you are in a bad mood one day, will you break his dog's legs?"

Xu Rui thought to himself with a wicked taste.

Li Kuang walked to Xu Rui's side by himself, picked up Princess Qixia to prepare a snack box for Xu Rui, sat down on Xu Rui's noodles with a big smile, and ate unceremoniously.

"Hey, I'm tired and tired outside all day, and you're just lying here to hide?"

Li Kuang chewed on the snack and said hesitantly.

Xu Rui rolled his eyes and said: "Some people don't like me, and they don't keep a low profile, isn't that looking for death?" ”

A trace of wonder flashed on Li Kuang's face, and he asked: "Half of the officials in Changxing City can't wait for you to die, and they don't see you restraining anything, who is so big-faced, who can force the Hou Ye to complain in the mansion?" ”

Xu Rui laughed and said, "Who else can there be?" Isn't that the one in the palace? ”

"Holy Lord, you say?!"

When Li Kuang heard this, the banter on his face was swept away, and Zhengse asked.

Xu Rui sighed and said, "Have you forgotten the holy decree in front of the Four Elephants Pavilion that day?" The world thinks that the Holy One has received my affection, and he praises me openly and secretly, but they don't know my grievances. ”

Li Kuang frowned: "You still have grievances?" ”

Xu Rui said helplessly: "You know that the Holy Lord once asked me to save the life of Governor Hong. ”

Li Kuang nodded: "Yes, so what?" ”

Xu Rui said: "With the saint's temperament, if this incident happened that day, he must know that I want to attack Ning Qian, even if he doesn't agree, but he will definitely be curious, after the holy decree, he will inevitably announce that I will enter the palace, and I will ask before and after."

However, on that day, the saint only sent a holy decree, but did not recruit me into the palace, which means that he was dissatisfied with me and deliberately wanted to dry me.

So I can only do what he wants, honestly stay in the house and check myself. ”

Li Kuang frowned: "Could it be that the Holy Lord thinks that you shouldn't fight the East China Sea Sword God?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "Who do you think wants Ning Qian to die the most in this world?" It's our saint, it's just that he agreed to Governor Hong's request, so he temporarily suppressed the killing intent and didn't let us do it.

Not to mention that I didn't enter the Four Elephants Pavilion at all in the end, even if I really made a big fuss and killed Ning Qian on the spot, not only would the Holy Lord not blame me, maybe he would laugh behind his back. ”

"That's weird, what else can the Holy Lord be dissatisfied with you?"

Li Kuang muttered to himself.

Xu Rui waved his hand and said: "I originally wanted to take these few days to think about it, but unfortunately I don't have a clue when I think about it, forget it, let's talk about your business, go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you won't come to me to chat today, right?" ”

Li Kuang was reminded by Xu Ruiyi, and only then did he come back to his senses, and the expression on his face immediately became serious.

"I came to you today to talk about the old house in Nanhua Lane."

The old mansion in Nanhua Lane was on the Wentian Pavilion that day, and the clues provided to Xu Rui by the Diting Organization with great effort were a clever move to secretly counterattack the murderer in Babao City.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xu Rui hurriedly put down the "Art of War" in his hand, and said, "What did you find?" ”

Li Kuang shook his head.

Xu Rui was stunned: "Didn't find anything?" ”

Li Kuang smashed his mouth and said: "If you say anything, you can't find it, but it's not true, but the old mansion is indeed a blank." ”

"Blank?"

Xu Rui chewed on these two words carefully and said in confusion: "What do you mean?" ”

Li Kuang sighed and said: "Nanhua Lane is located in the prosperous place of the inner city, although there are not many dignitaries and dignitaries there, but there are many rich families.

The so-called old mansion has already been pushed to be rebuilt, and the new mansion has only been built for four or five years, and it is very luxurious, worth at least 100,000 yuan.

However, the house has been empty, uninhabited at all, and it seems to have been renovated recently, so there is no useful clue to be found. ”

"An empty house that has been restored?"

Xu Rui muttered: "In the inner city, every inch of land is expensive, how can such a new house be idle for a long time? In whose name does the house hang? ”

Li Kuang shook his head: "I don't know! ”

"Don't know?!"

Xu Rui was slightly stunned: "You mean you can't find that person?" ”

Li Kuang shook his head again and said: "No, there is no such person at all, all the records about the house are blank, and I personally visited the neighbors nearby, and they only said that there was originally a family living there, but this family is extremely low-key, and they don't interact with people at all on weekdays, and I don't know when the world evaporated." ”

Xu Rui's face sank when he heard this: "Shouldn't you Jinyiwei have a record of the entire Changxing City, isn't there any content about this house in the internal files?" ”

Li Kuang nodded solemnly and said, "It's true, not only the house, but also the entire interior of Nanhua Lane has disappeared." ”

"It seems that someone is deliberately covering up the secret of the old house in Nanhua Lane......"

Xu Rui said his inference in a deep voice.

Li Kuang nodded and said: "That's right, and there are no records of Changxing Mansion's household registration, transaction records, tax donation documents of the household department, and even the internal files of Jinyiwei, so I'm afraid that the person who covered up this matter will have his hands and eyes in the sky!" ”

Xu Rui nodded silently: "In this way, I am afraid that there is really some earth-shattering secret behind the old mansion in Nanhua Lane." ”

Li Kuang squinted his eyes and said, "Could it be that it is deliberately disrupting our direction, making us focus on it, wasting time, and in the end we can't find out anything?" ”

"Probably not."

Xu Rui shook his head and said: "No matter what you do in this world, there is a price, the other party has spent so much effort, if it is just to put a smoke bomb, it will not make sense anyway."

Also, do you remember the last time I deduced the identity of the Listening Organization? ”

Li Kuang said: "Do you think that the truth is also a dark chess, and the complete destruction of the Babao City truth hearing organization is an infighting between dark chess." ”

Xu Rui nodded and said: "Exactly, that night, the Diting Organization spent a huge amount of resources to hand over such an ambiguous clue to me, obviously they are taking revenge on those who borrowed knives to kill people."

And this clue is so vague, it shows that the Diting Organization doesn't want me to really find out anything at all, and the reason why I am told this clue is because as long as I go to investigate, the mastermind behind the Diting Organization in Babao City will receive the news, which is equivalent to receiving a warning.

In this way, the secret hidden behind the old mansion in Nanhua Lane must be a core secret, so important that just checking it can make the mastermind behind the destruction of Babao City throw a mouse. ”

"It makes sense to say this, but the problem is that the old house in Nanhua Lane has been painted clean, and I'm afraid we won't be able to find any clues in a while."

Li Kuang spread his hands and arrived helplessly.

Xu Rui shook his head, looked into the distance, and said quietly: "There is still a channel, maybe there can be a breakthrough." ”

"Oh?"

Li Kuangqi said: "What else can be found if there is not even a Jinyi guard's internal file?" ”
